Major reason I left is because my life got legit hectic. Things are calming down now so I'm back.

Welcome back, and congrats on the engagement. :y:

It's good to have you back. Also good to know that things are calming down for you now.

So what's good on TPWW? Anything I need to know or same-old?

Missed you. Good to see you back, even if only temporarily. I've been occasionally throwing up a BotT poll/thread for a while. I know a few years ago that was your thing, and I'm just not ready to see it die.

If you get the chance, or if you're even slightly curious, you should do a search using keywords: battle, themes...I think the first one I did was #54.

Currently there are three matches officially announced for the upcoming WWE Payback pay-per-view on June 1st in Chicago, Illinois. Those matches are The Shield vs. Evolution in a No Holds Barred Elimination match, John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match and Bad News Barrett vs. Rob Van Dam for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

Other matches likely for WWE Payback include The Usos vs. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan for the WWE Tag-Team Championships, Paige vs. Alicia Fox for the WWE Divas Championship, Sheamus vs. Cesaro for the WWE United States Championship, Adam Rose vs. Jack Swagger, Rusev vs. Big E. and Summer Rae vs. Layla with Fandango as special guest referee.

As far as the No Holds Barred Elimination main event, a possible scenario being considered is one that would see Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins eliminated early, leaving Roman Reigns to make a huge comeback on all three Evolution members by himself.

The match will be Batista’s final match in WWE for several months, and based on plans for the future, could be one of Triple H’s last for a while as well.

Assuming WZ is actually correct, it would mean that Cesaro's stock went down in favor of Barrett based on the last time a supposed list for big pushes/future champions was hinted at.

He could work as a babyface, oddly enough.

Then again, I think Rusev would be the perfect person to turn Jack Swagger face against.

People within WWE were actually joking last Friday that maybe these financial troubles will mean that the WWE Network goes away quickly but that is highly unlikely to happen. However, there is still a feeling that the Network isn't producing subscribers as quickly as Vince would want.

Flair has been working out and wants to get to 225 pounds before returning to TV. He's currently at 230. There's a feeling that Flair has to come in as a babyface but he always prefers to work as a heel so there's on word yet on what role he will play. One idea suggested was to put Flair with The Miz to continue the storyline they began several months ago when Miz began using the Figure Four after Flair's blessing. The hope is that Flair will help elevate Miz as a top babyface. There are some who believe this could be wasting Flair and that Miz is damaged goods. Flair reportedly wants to manage Dolph Ziggler but it's clear WWE hasn't been pushing Ziggler for more than a year now. They also discussed having Flair manage The Shield to continue the angle from RAW a few weeks back but Evolution's future is up in the air.

There needs to be a spot in the Royal Rumble where Adam Rose comes out with the Exotic Express, gets thrown out quickly buy a huge guy like Big Show or Kane, just to have The Exotic Express catch him, march him around the ring, and have him re enter... Or someone in a mask grabs in the Exotic Express grabs his ankle and pulls him down just to reveal himself is a midcard heel.

OWEN HART: 1963-1999

Real men do cry.

If there were any doubts of that fact before, there were none after May 23rd, a night which will be remembered for one of the worst tragedies in the history of the wrestling business.

Along with millions, I watched the Over the Edge pay-per-view that night at home. It was a pay-per-view starting out pretty much like many WWF pay-per-views, with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler trading their usual entertaining banter.

Then, as a video package promoting the match between "The Godfather" and Owen Hart for the Intercontinental Title began, I could hear Jim Ross say "something's gone wrong...". When the video package finished, the camera was showing a crowd shot. At first, I didn't understand what had happened. Then the faces and the words of Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross made it clear that something had gone horribly, tragically wrong.

Ross, stunned, said over and over again that what had happened was "not part of the storyline" and not "a wrestling angle"; trying to communicate to the world-wide PPV audience what had just happened: Owen Hart, while attempting a ring entrance in his "Blue Blazer" character descending on a wire from the ceiling, had fallen approximately 50 feet to the ring, hitting his head on a turnbuckle, breaking his neck.

Hart was given CPR in the ring in front of the live audience at Kemper Arena and then taken to Truman Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Shortly afterwards, Jim Ross made the announcement of Hart's death to the PPV audience.

On Tuesday, there were reports from a local Kansas City radio station and the Kansas City Police Department stating that the apparent cause of the fatal accident was that Owen Hart was reaching up to grab onto the harness; but instead accidentally hit the release, causing his fall.

In the "show must go on" spirit that wrestling has, taken from the "carnys" that wrestling's roots are born in, the Over The Edge PPV continued until its conclusion. But the toll on the people who had to perform for the remainder of the evening had to be beyond measure, and was very obvious to the viewing audience, which saw Jeff Jarrett, Debra McMichael, Brian (Jesse James Armstrong) James, and Duane (Rocky Maivia) Johnson barely keeping their composure through scheduled promos during the PPV.

I have to say I felt numb for most of Monday. I noticed that Dave Scherer of 1wrestling.com described much the same feeling. I'm sure we weren't the only people who felt that way.

Because on May 23rd, a man known for tremendous talent... for a sense of humor legendary within the wrestling business... and known for his great love for his wife Martha and his children Oje and Athena... was taken from this world far, far too soon. I think I had this feeling so strongly because I've had the privilege of seeing the human side of the business and writing about it. These are very real people that work as professional wrestlers. They aren't just characters to me.

I've been blessed to have built acquaintances and friendships with many within WCW, ECW, and the WWF through introductions by NWA office staffperson (and former PWBTS columnist) Kathy Fitzpatrick. From those, there have come other friendships, all of which have been a source of great joy. I've gotten to know how much these performers give to entertain people all over the world, both physically and emotionally. That's what made it so strangely personal a loss.

Indeed, real men do cry.

On May 24th, many of them did.

That night, the staff and workers of the World Wrestling Federation dedicated their two hour Monday Night RAW to their fallen friend and co-worker in a moving tribute at the Kiel Center in St. Louis. The irony of the location had to be painful for the entire Titan crew, as only 18 months previously, Brian Pillman was mourned by the WWF and the fans after his death earlier that day alone in a hotel room hundreds of miles away in Minneapolis.

The ten bell count was sounded as the entire Titan staff came out under a picture of Owen Hart on the Titantron. Many of those there were openly weeping for Hart, most notably Brian (Road Dog) James, Mark Henry, and Paul (Hunter Hearst Helmsley) Levesque.

Monday Night RAW had numerous segments, with wrestlers and office personnel expressing their feelings about Owen....many of which were humorous, telling of Hart's legendary "ribs" in the locker room and on the road. Other reminiscences were deeply felt, by friends like Paul Levesque, Jeff Jarrett, Debra McMichael, and Brian James, repeatedly breaking down while sharing their feelings with the TV and live audiences.

In between these segments were matches dedicated to Owen Hart, devoid of existing storylines, so that as many wrestlers as possible could work matches to pay tribute to their friend. Special mentions of Hart were done all night by the boys, using special forms of all the traditional tag lines of most of the wrestlers.

The RAW tribute ended with Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross saying their last goodbyes, finally being able to let go after keeping it together for a pay-per-view and international TV/cable broadcast over a 24 hour period. Ross said, sobbing, that "...he hoped he could be as good a man as Owen had been, so he could see him again (in Heaven) some day."

But the remark that got me crying was Jerry Lawler...the same Jerry Lawler who in real life can seem so hard-boiled and old school. He said: "I learned a valuable lesson from Owen Hart last night. As I got into the ring, and held...lifted up Owen's head in the ring...if he could have had one more thing...he would have asked for one more day to tell the people he loved what he thought of them. Never leave home without letting the people in your life know that."

The show then ended with Steve Austin coming out to the ring, with his house show tradition of bringing out two beers, often handed to referee Earl Hebner. In a silent tribute that spoke louder than any words, as a graphic of Owen Hart was shown on the Titantron...with tears in his eyes, Steve Austin opened up his beer...toasted the picture of his friend, then quietly laid down a lone beer on the mat.

In a welcome touch, even rival company WCW paid tribute to Owen on WCW's Monday Nitro; where a brief memorial was done for Hart, with Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan speaking briefly, having a hard time keeping their composure while doing so. Several workers wore black armbands, most notably Chris Benoit.

I hope that this tragedy teaches us some lessons.

First, as fans...we need to respect how much these performers give to entertain people all over the world, both physically and emotionally. Next time you get ready to give a catcall after a wrestler "blows a spot", stop and think about the price he and she has paid to entertain you that day or night. Stop and think about the travel, the strain on their personal relationships, the drugs used to deal with the physical and emotional pain. Then think again if you need to make that comment.

Second, as human beings...We need to listen to the point that Jerry Lawler made while in those last moments of Monday night's tribute. In the time we have on this Earth, we need to tell our friends and loved ones what we feel about them. We need to be there for them in their times of joy and times of need. For when all is said and done, we are not promised tomorrow.

Real men do cry...and on the night of May 23rd, 1999, the entire wrestling world cried.

Until next time....

I came across that by complete accident on Wednesday. Someone was streaming it and I joined in on it just as
SPOILER: show
Batista pinned Ziggler for the win,
so that bad timing means that I don't really need to watch that match now.

Though I wouldn't mind tracking it down and giving it a watch, just to listen to JBL & Cole mess around and talk to Vince. I always find the latter quite interesting to listen to.

yeah, they trained in California together for UPW when they were linked to Vinceland

Just read the rest of the article and can see that the unedited SmackDown is linked in it.

Cool King 05-23-2014 05:45 PM

Just watched the unedited SmackDown.

It was weird at first,
SPOILER: show
especially with Chimel introducing Jimmy Hart about twenty times, and Cole repeating some lines. Along with that, and the SmackDown logo/black screen being shown while still hearing the crowd, just reminded me of a WWE game that's not loaded correctly, so it just plays random quotes and random times and it's also having trouble loading a match and it can only manage to load the crowd sound effect at first.

Cole calling Vince "sir" was cool to hear, though JBL never did it. Also, JBL, Cole, Vince and Dunn laughing about Cole saying "I had 500lbs of men on me" was pretty funny. And Cole saying at the end "Hey Vince, do you want me to say that every time, because I've said it a shitload of times tonight" was both weird and amusing to hear coming from Cole.

Cool King 05-23-2014 05:46 PM

Also, is it just me or does Bo Dallas' gimmick remind anyone else of basically a 2014 version of....

Possibly posted before, but I imagine this is why Cesaro is a Heyman guy.

I watched his interview with JR on Wednesday and I found it to be quite interesting.

K, so apparently Hogan almost came back to the WWE according to Bruce Prichard in his Guest Booker dvd but thr Montral Screwjob happened.

I could watch these Timeline/Guest Booker DVD's all day. Watched the 1986 George the Animal Steele one and his Macho Man stories are amazing.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-24-2014 12:50 AM

I like Timeline but not a huge fan of Guest Booker series.

Just got that, still to watch the Steele one. You'll like the Al Snow guest booker one, just for his anti smark rants.

Nope, was done by a British wrestler named Les Kellett.

Found it on NeoGaf's wrestling thread as part of a discussion about European wrestling.

The latest word is Daniel Bryan will be appearing on next Monday night's episode of Raw and he will be relinquishing the WWE world heavyweight championship. The idea, apparently, is not to rush him back too soon, instead focusing on his long term health. Bringing him back and having him drop the belts himself gives them the ability to book a segment to gain a ton of sympathy for him on his way out so he can be really hot upon his return. It is expected he'll be right back in the main event scene when he does come back.

If everything goes according to plan, the winner of the title could end up defending it against either Daniel Bryan or Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. You can expect Lesnar back, by the way, just after the Battleground event.

Rusev vs. Big E is no longer happening, for whatever reason. So what's the plan for Rusev? Your guess is just as good as anyone else's.

The reason Ric Flair was shot down when he requested to work with Dolph Ziggler is because WWE didn't like the idea of two loose cannons working together. The Miz is the guy Flair will work with because he's a company guy and they feel like he can be counted on to do the right thing at all times, no matter how wild Flair may get.

Black Widow 05-25-2014 04:48 PM

I don't understand the Ziggler love. He is not horrible or anything but I don't think he should ever be the top guy.

but flair would do more for zigler then the miz that is just a waste

Kingofdaswing 05-25-2014 05:26 PM

I don't know anybody on the roster than annoys me more than the Miz. So I guess putting Flair with him will help a little, but if he wooo's along with Flair I may puke in my mouth.

So Layla gave an interview to a website while over here in the UK. One thing she said, is leading people to believe that she might be leaving the WWE/retiring this year.

WWE Diva Layla El for Strictly Come Dancing 2014? She wants Claudia Winkleman’s job too!

It’s been revealed this week that World Wrestling Entertainment – or WWE as it’s better known – star Layla El would love to take part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing…

And she’s certainly got the CV for it, given that she started her career as a professional dancer working on cruise ships, and has been a backing dancer for US star Kanye West and our own Elton John among others.

Speaking to Bang Showbiz about her Strictly ambitions, Londoner Layla said, “I’ve been watching Strictly and I have to say, I definitely want to be a part of that.

“I’m absolutely up for doing it.”

Adding that she wants to return to England for good this year, she added, “I think I’d be a ‘character’ on it…

“Everyone would either love me or hate me, but I’d definitely get a reaction.”

The WWE Diva added, “I want to say congratulations to Abbey Clancy who won last year and not only that, I have to say congrats to Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman [who’s replacing Sir Bruce Forsyth], girl power!”

However, she cheekily remarked, “If they ever need a replacement, they better make sure they call me up. I’ll come and host the show.”

But returning to her career as a dancer, Layla said, “I miss dancing; it’s something I’ve always done since I was a little girl.

“I trained at Italia Conti [and] I’ve danced with a lot of stars in the UK like Ms. Dynamite, Elton John and Blue as well as people like P. Diddy, Mace, Kanye West and Jamie Foxx in the US.”

Would you like to see Layla on Strictly? Well, watch this space because we will of course let you know if she lands a role, but in the meantime, you can see her and a whole host of other wrestling stars in the WWE Live WrestleMania Revenge tour…

There’s a performance tonight at London’s O2, which will be followed by shows at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield on Tuesday, the Belfast Odyssey Arena on Wednesday and then the O2 in Dublin on Thursday.

Further information and tickets are available at Bookingsdirect.com.

It's the "Adding that she wants to return to England for good this year" line, that's making people think that she could be leaving/retiring.

Vastardikai 05-25-2014 07:47 PM

What to do with Rusev? If only there was someone on the roster who represented America that could face the Bulgarian...

Cool King 05-25-2014 07:48 PM

You're right.

Put him in a feud with Sin Cara.
