My favourite part about that build-up. It's kinda cut off in that picture, but Jim Duggan had just won King of the Ring. His 2x4 HAS A CROWN.

And yeah, they built it up for weeks with Duggan wearing a mask and hanging around Demolition. People thought it might be a heel turn...then the night of Summerslam, he unmasked, and had the stars and stripes face paint. You should watch it, it's a surprisingly decent match, and the face pop when he does unmask is brilliant.

It actually wasn't a tournament back then, he just beat Haku for the crown. Savage later won it from Duggan and began his "Macho King" gimmick.

The current group of champions loving rule. The group in the picture (exc. Beth and hopefully Kofi) and our current group undoubtedly are the future. Especially this guy:


Well, it's tough to really predict a bright future for Bourne and Ryder after looking at their career trajectories throughout 2012. Not that I'm complaining about the current group of champs as I'd easily take Cesaro over Ryder any day.


For content, Danielson and El Generico hugging it out in ROH:



Shame ROH keeps taking down the incredible pre match sequence from YouTube, I own two legal copies of the match but both only contain the action after the bell rings.

I've actually never watched even one minute of WM X since I wasn't paying attention to wrestling at the time, guess I should rectify that one of these days. Everyone seems to say it was great.

I always liked the guy since I first saw him in late stage WCW, but my opinion of him just went up a few more notches now that I noticed that his t-shirt is based on my favorite movie of all time.

Shame he's in a promotion I find mostly unwatchable.

Much to Vince's chagrin though, Cena's really not nearly enough of mainstream celebrity to turn this into a huge scandal especially since he's already divorced. It's not like he's accused of rape or anything illegal.

He'll get a couple more articles on gossip sites but this will quickly blow over.

Keep in mind also that DDP and Jake might be picking him up from the hospital/treatment center where he underwent detox. The one time I was discharged from a hospital they insisted on wheeling me out even though I was certainly healthy enough to walk.

It's funny how easy to tell it's still Delirious without the mask in the few unmasked pictures I've seen of him.

On the other hand, I have no clue what Mantis looks like or even what his real name is and I'm happy to keep it that way. I know everyone says he's actually a good looking guy though.

deviANT (purple) is the only ant unaccounted for in that match. He was one of the three heel ants introduced last season and was in a heel/face forced tag team with Soldier as recently as the opening weekend. Now that Wink's introduced the new Ant trio and teaming them with Soldier I don't know what the gently caress they have planned for him if anything. combatANT was the one who had his neck kayfabe injured by Quack at the last KoT and he hasn't been seen since.

He's gonna have it at the very least until the end of the year, he has a beard growing contest with a MLB pitcher that the WWE has referenced on TV. The beard also suits his current gimmick perfectly, it's not like he's playing Rick "The Model" Martel, Jr.

And Undertaker also wrestled fake Diesel.

And Undertaker also dressed up as Kane sometimes.

I imagine everytime the bookers started explaining this UT and Kane would just look at each other and say "Here we go again!"

Also, when Undertaker first debuted he was actually called "Kane the Undertaker" for a very brief period.
