I thought the interview was fantastic for how much Austin was willing to press Vince on certain topics while getting him to ramble about the good old days to make him happy again and how much of a total shoot it was (HE SAID MARK CALAWAY). I'm afraid if they did it again it would be like when they started trying to script Corny's shoot rants in the late 90s so that bastard Austin wouldn't get one over on a McMahon, dammit.

Has there ever been a point in WWE where grabbing the brass ring was possible? Either Hogan holds you down or the Kliq holds you down or whatever. Has anyone ever gone out, broken the script, and been rewarded for it?

I heard Goldberg didn't follow a script once.

Reports say at the 2011 Mania after party Slater tried to drag a security guard into an elevator back to his room. She reported it to her supervisor who didn't do anything about it. Now there's a warrant out for him in Atlanta.

Apparently they've been trying to get a warrant issued for 3 years but nobody would do it. The original report was he had some kind of alibi but if he did it in the middle of a room, uh

Well yeah, think of most wrestlers? think they're going to have the money to fight the WWE's lawyers in a court? I mean... I'm sure there's SOME ruling in the 90's about a No-Compete being legally enforced, and in that case, there's a set legal precedent so... that puts it in the favor of the WWE. But I don't know enough about American Law to tell if such a case happened

Depends on the state but in most places they're unenforceable or easy to have thrown out if you can afford a lawyer. Besides, they're independent contractors!

Did Big Dave mention how morale is within the WWE locker room? Between Punk's 'I got stiffed out of a $20,000 appearance' and Vince's 'nobody on the current roster can obtain my figurative brass ring' with Cena lauding over them 'You've got to go through me and I'm here till the end JACK', I'd be loving pissed.

I know he said they generally agreed with Punk except on certain points but I haven't read this week's Observer.

Lets switch gears now, John Cena is in a handicap match tonight, can he overcome the odds?

I remember when Hulk Hogan invoked creative control and went over Arn Anderson and The Giant in a handicap match before he disappeared to film Santa with Muscles. No rapadoo can top that.

no selling a DDT on concrete to then win a 1v2?

Well there was that time Cactus Jack had to shoot DDT Sandman on the concrete a few times before he'd go down because he was too drunk and concussed (which Cactus didn't know) to stay down and would just get up which is pretty bad when you think about it

Saw this in this week's Observor from an anonymous locker room source:

quote:

He absolutely buried the entire locker room with the Cena was the last guy to reach for the brass ring comment,” noted one star.

“He went out of his way to not get in a public war of words with Punk, but Punk clearly reached for the brass ring.”

“Bryan is a little different. He’s complacent and his gimmick so pushed him through the roof. Dolph has really busted his rear end (to get to the top), but never understood how to combat HHH’s perception of him and subsequent constant burials behind the scenes, or how Michael Hayes would bury him just to cozy up to HHH and show him, `I’ll back you up in conversations with Vince.’ But the comment was just such an indictment, and a terrible one, on the whole crew.”

I showed my mom that video of Ted DiBiase kicking the basketball away from the little kid. Immediately she knew what his character was (rich rear end in a top hat) and it made her so incredibly angry even though it was 25 years ago, it was just TV and the kid got paid anyway off camera. She's not even a wrestling fan! I don't get why they have to make heeling it up or even just having recognizable characters so difficult.

Haha yeah before reading your last line I was going to say, "everyone talks about wanting 'seasons' for wrestling, and here RVD is doing just that for himself!'

It's really not on him to put in a 24/7 schedule so the current guys feel better about themselves. If he can come in and get paid good for him. He spends his time putting over the young guys anyway, it's not like he's coming back like HHH does.

I think Dave said he worked out a special deal with WWE to where he can call them up and say he wants to work the next 90 days.

He's not an rear end in a top hat, he's a carny that's in it to make himself as much money as possible. That's why he's the best ever.
