Well yeah. I meant damaging as in, slap-to-the-wrist kind of stuff. I like that Punk is pretty unhinged in his views, and doesn't seem fazed into taking the easy route with Twitter like some do.

The thing about Twitter stuff I've noticed is, is that it usually blows over, and doesn't hang over people in the long run. It's a tiny ugly blurb, not a long, winding and vulgar Mel Gibson-esque tape leaked to the public. The only exception to that would be is Gilbert Gottfried's jokes about Japan that got him fired from voicing a duck. Sandbagging A-Train and putting that picture of Heyman on before his segment will probably be more damaging.

Not for nothing, but JBL doing the goosestep in Germany was far worse. At least Punk apologized.

Vince Russo
Is he gone from TNA or not?

Is the block logo now illegal too?
I felt that way for awhile, but I'm used to it now to the point where I barely refer to stuff before 2002 as WWF.

Roddy Piper has been talking about starting up a podcast on Twitter. Whether it's genius or a car wreck, it'll be interesting to listen to.

The WTF!?! Have they lost their minds?! thread
That whole thing makes me wonder about Bret's position in the company if/once they all get their pink (possibly written in black ink) slips. A small, very cynical part of me is thinking all the forgiving he's done has been a work to get them in good graces with Vince.

All due respect, seeing Flair in ECW would have been like listening to Dark Side Of The Moon on a gramophone.

WCW ongoing thread
To counterpoint this, I always thought it was a bit funny that WWE split The Rockers up right as grunge was exploding. I don't think one thing had to do with another, but the irony of it never was lost on me.

Tropes in pro-wrestling that you loathe
I never liked the "10-count with both guys down in the ring" which I squarely blame Stallone for because it's quite obvious the spot was taken from the Rocky movies.

Rey's second wellness violation
I would imagine this was a big part of the reason for making it illegal, not so much for wrestling but other athletics like Football and Baseball.

Rock said on his Twitter today that he was shooting a fight scene for Pain & Gain with...Kurt Angle

[1994-01-08-WCW-Worldwide] Interview: Ric Flair
They certainly mentioned him quite a few times around this time, maybe starting with this interview. And from what I remember, one of the Apter mags (most likely PWI) had done an article featuring pictures of Flair with Hogan and Jimmy Hart in late '93. He legit didn't sign with them until June, but Bischoff must have been pretty confident they were going to make a deal to let people drop his name on television.

I'm guessing it isn't Triple H.
