It will never be the same without "the ultimate warrior". If i remember correctly it was summerslam, august 28th 1989 (You'll have to ask spinner if im correct lol) when he defended his intercontinental title against Rick rude. Those where the days!!! Now after his real life feud with Vince McMahon and his $6 million law suit he seems to have vanished in to thin air.

Bring back the "Warrior" then wrestling will be exciting and unpredictable. As it has been so boring and predictable over the past ten years.


As i said above mate, it was unpredictable in them days. Each to their own i suppose. But it was easy to predict what was going to happen with "the rock" & "triple H" all the time (yet again my opinion) and i always seemed to be right. It also annoy's me when a sport entertainment superstar goes to do a movie (or something else with their life) and the McMahon's dont like it. That's why they turned there back on "the rock" but as long as he has his die hard fans (the same with the ultimate warrior) i dont think he's too bothered about it.

The Rock is still in a working relationship with WWE, as is the Warrior (which is why he's being used so much in the advertising for Wrestlemania)

Here's his NWE title match from last year :

<object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1SdVEZ4D9Vo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1SdVEZ4D9Vo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>

Contrary to boring and predictable, the only match I can say is obvious at this years Wrestlemania is HBK/Taker.

Normally i'd have said Cena was a lock to win the Title, but given that his film is already out and the promotion is all but done, thats not so certain anymore.

Nidia's back! Really wish that return hadn't been spoiled...

All i was saying spinner is, me and my mate's used to sit down and watch wrestling with a couple of beers and some snacks (like ya do) and my mate's always used to tell me to shut up before it started. lol The reason why is i would turn around and say, this is going to happen and that is going to happen. And 9/10 it did.

At the end of the day the only reason they bring back "the rock" & "the warrior" is to boost ratings. Why? Because they where so popular to the U.S.A & UK public. The McMahon's did the dirty on booth wrestler's and IMO it will never be the same again.

Er, you do know about the Warrior's blackmail incident at Summerslam '91 don't you?



There has never been any animosity with the Rock, indeed both parties are in full joint promotion mode as we speak.

A good wrestling show is all about entertainment. Actual results are largely irrelevant as you can just have a look at the upcoming shows if you want to know who wins and loses (the cards have been out for the UK tour for over a week now, so if you want Wrestlemania ruined, just check them out)

I've only missed 2 live PPV's since Summerslam '92, and though there was a really dull period in the late 90's through to about 2004, recently its really picked up.

If you check the WWE's corporate site with all the financial details, Austin is still by far the biggest name they have, followed by Cena, Mysterio and DX.

It's hard to pick out the next potential "breakout" star, but thankfull now thats because there are simply so many to choose from!

Can you tell me about the warrior's blackmail incident please spins? I did sort of lose interest around about that time. I have been on the warriors website and seen alot of feedback to him about the "leather hedger's" (as the warrior call's him) death. And alot of people seem to have gone off "the warrior". They still believe he was an amazing entertainment superstar, but i watched his video on his blog and pretty much agreed with everything he said. As i said before, each to their own i suppose.

The basic story is that a few hours before Summerslam was due to start, Warrior demanded an extra £10000 dollars or he wasn't going to show. So Vince had no choice but to pay up, however obviously after that he couldn't trust him to be booked in a main event again.

The thing was Warrior could never accept, and still can't as was clear in his short stint in NWE last year, that he is a ratings killer.

Anyways, just finished watching the webcast of the Hall of Fame show, great fun, interesting, and a cool setup for tomorrow night. Fun to see all the disinformation the WWE said they were gonna dish out starting to flood the news sites

^^ That was the best WWE style match in recent memory. Absolutely brilliant. It takes real skill to make a match with an obvious outcome enthralling, but they did.

Great show so far. Kid Rock, as much as i enjoy him, went WAY to long. I think it was a shame to turn the Diva's match into a comedy routine for Santino. Embarrasing for the announce team if nothing else, and it would have been a great send off for Victoria, or a great lever for no1 contender for any current Diva.

Ok, back to the beers... Cena's entrance is the most emabarrasing thing yet..

Oh well, time for some decent WWE action before the Attitude Adjuster on Big Show for Cena's win...

Glad the main event isn't so predictable

Spinns! bout time! i've had no-one to discuss with! aha
Your not wrong about cenas entrance, I had to look away. MITB was good as was hardy vs hardy but can't see anything but tripple orton topping take hbk.

thought there was a joint tag title match ?

UFC Isn't fake. Its genuine MMA fighting. Sure, wrestlers usually prevail, but thats only natural.

As for either being "better", that totally depends on your viewpoint.

Some people would say Little Britain is funnier than Fawlty Towers. Not everyone can have a sense of humour...

The tag title unification match was pulled due to time constraints.. Terrible. Primo and Carlito Won the unified titles (It will be avaliable on the DVD)

A Major match like that pulled, and the drivel that was Kid Rock/Diva's was left in. Terrible..

The Hardy's match was good, but clearly only the beginning. Shades of Bret/Owen Hart and WM10.

Right - am off to watch the two title matches...
