i'm gonna be honest

I don't even enjoy the ECW match compilations anymore.

I watched hardcore TV when it was showing new on late night tv...and part of the draw was the real music as entrance...the extreme vulgarity and the crudeness in general...a lot of that gets lost....I can't enjoy it anymore...Plus some stuff (like crazy long entrances and introductions by the dudley boys) gets cut.

The Daily Show just showed last night's Raw, John Oliver going at Zeb.

Rookie HBK learning from the veterans (Shawn Michaels 1st territory)
Terry Taylor's quest to beat Ric Flair for the NWA Title (underrated rivalry)
Muhammad Ali in Mid South (The "Greatest" created a lifetime of memories in a week)
DiBiase become a fan favorite (The more one is hated, the more one can be loved)
Mid South goes National (It wasn't for long but it was memorable)
Hacksaw Jim Duggan (Carried the territory after JYD left..legit stud..serious, ass kicker)
The Fabulous Freebirds (Loved to be detested..no 3 man unit ever better)
Terry 'Bam Bam' Gordy (Greatest teenage wrestler I ever saw..a prodigy)
The One Man Gang (HUGE star w/ General Scandor Akbar..HOF level Super Heavyweight)

- We noted before that E! and WWE filmed Natalya's bachelorette party in Las Vegas recently, to air on the Total Divas show. Word is that they're planning to air her wedding to Tyson Kidd on the show, which means it would be happening soon.

- WWE officials are more concerned about Fandango's recent concussion because apparently he has suffered a few documented concussions already, before making it to the main roster as a regular character.

- With Chris Jericho taking more time off for Fozzy, he may be gone until January and return in time for the Royal Rumble to build a storyline for WrestleMania XXX.

– The reason Percy Watson was released from WWE developmental several weeks ago appears to be related to an attitude issue. Several sources report that Watson’s attitude changed after he was demoted from the main roster. He was looked at among management as a good athlete but he was missing training sessions and that didn’t go over well with them.

- Mick Foley recently appeared on MLW Radio as a special co-host with former WWE writer Court Bauer. Foley talked about The Wyatt Family:

"I love the [Wyatt Family] videos. I really do. I think they're going to be an instant hit. I'm already looking down the road at a Shield vs. Wyatt Family WrestleMania match. A meeting of the maniacs."

Foley also revealed his original plan for his WWE Hall of Fame induction, which was shot down by Vince McMahon:

"I pointed out to Vince that I'd never had any pyrotechnics during the entirety of my career. I thought it might be special if at the end of my speech at the Hall of Fame I could somehow ascend into the rafters on a slay with Santa Claus. Vince looked at me like I was just out of my mind and let me know in no uncertain terms that was not going to happen."

We’re told many guys were watching Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton “closely on the monitors backstage” as Bryan has become must-see TV. One producer remarked how he is on another level in terms of his in-ring work and talent. Vince McMahon’s promo from earlier in the show was basically him making fun of himself for being so wrong about Bryan.
