Guess we know what finish Vince changed beforehand, as the Backlash ads seem to imply Cena challenging to get his title back.

Cena vs HHH is YOUR WM MAIN EVENT, NEXT!

The Chicago crowd is setting the tone for HHH/Cena by completely cheering Mickie and booing Trish out of the building. JR's trying to cover by saying they're a "defiant" crowd.

Results so far from Meltz:

I hope Brody got a chance for afterlife payback before Victor got deposited in hell.

The show ran from about 7 to 11 CST, and what we saw on USA was heavily edited. Bret had a 30 minute speech live that got cut to about 5.

If they ever would turn Cena heel and let him use his charisma like the Rock did, he could be the next huge star Vince keeps trying to create. Instead, they keep him as the babyface no one wants to see and he gets booed out of the building at the HoF.

Seeing Bret come out on WWE programming to his old themesong was more surreal to me than the last Nitro. I honestly never thought I'd see it happen right up until he walked out on the stage.

Kurt Angle's neck looks human now.

Some people are calling this an April Fool's joke by Meltz, but if it's not, the question remains how was he able to use the name Ric Flair during his first WWF run?

He was champ from 2-24-95 to 3-14-99.

I'd buy one of those Figures Inc belts, but as much as I mark for wrestling belts I wouldn't pay over a grand for one.

I know he had toxic shock, but did it really come from an infection from dirty ring mats, or was it from possibly dirty drug paraphenalia? I'm just wondering since *everything* seemed to be a cover for a drug story when it comes to the Von Erichs.

Was it true that the toxic shock that spelled the beginning of the end for Mike Von Erich came from a shoulder that became infected from the mats when World Class did their tour of Israel, or was that another cover for a drug story?

I found this pic on a beltmaker site, it's someone's collection of NWA title belts: From top to bottom: NWA World Title held by Dan Severn in the mid 90s NWA "Globe Dome" World title used from the 70s-1986 and from about 1995 on.

It's an anime show that put Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block on the map. It's one of the best written shows (animated or live action) most people have ever seen. The song "Blue" was featured in the last part of the last episode, which (trying not to be spoiler-riffic here) featured someone going to a higher place. It's the perfect song for someone leaving for the WWE, and I'd wager there's a high enough crossover between ROH fans and Adult Swim fans for it to get over. Especially if the final match was a bloody brawl, and the guy leaving just limped to the house mic to say his farewell speech. "Bang."

They're going to have just one ring, but a Hell in a Cell type cage, with weapons hanging from the roof.

I was listening to mp3s and it occured to me how well the music from Cowboy Bebop would work as wrestling themes. I can just imagine someone leaving ROH using "Blue" as their theme for their last match with the company. Considering the average ROH audience, they'd get the significance.

But he was being announced in matches as the new WWF champion, so for that week they were recognizing it.

So WWE canon acknowledges Andre as a former WWF/E champion for his 30 second reign after the Hebner angle, yet Ted DiBiase actually wrestled matches (and filmed promos wearing the belt) billed as the new WWF champion during that week between the Hebner angle and when Jack Tunney vacated the title and announced the WM IV tournament. How come he doesn't get recognized as a former champ?

Tully did have a drug problem, but it would seem quite odd for him to be the one to get fired when there were guys that would cut promos for TV coked out of their gourds.
