WWE.com recently did a fun article showing wrestlers holding up old pictures of themselves and talking about then and now. Sadly, Booker T was not featured.

He done the same thing during his match with Regal in FCW, where Regal trapped Ambrose's arm between the ring post and the steps, and Ambrose worked the rest of the match without use of that arm, including stealing Regal's Knee Trembler as a finisher, because he couldn't do his at-that-time finisher, the Midnight Special, and every spare minute he had, he was trying to push it back in. It was amazing.

I don't believe I have ever seen Beth Phoenix on TV.

Just looked her up and she's not in the company any more, same with KellyKelly. I actually thought she was just one of the nameless diva battle royal people now.

The Dean Malenko one makes me worry. Granted, he has been retired for quite a few years already, but for him to have already forgotten 150 of his holds, that's not good :ohdear: .

There's lots of stories of guys backstage going up to him like "hey Dean, can you show me how to do (some move nobody's ever heard of)" and he just instantly starts explaining and getting down on the floor demonstrating it no matter how obscure or bendy it is. Course Jericho knows 1004, so he's probably a better resource.

Kinda surprised Kane wears the mask to signings these days, I know he's back to being "thedemonKane" but I doubt anyone would react much.

Also: the fake hair on that mask look terrible, he must dunk his head in a bucket of water before matches. which makes sense, what with all the fire. safety first. Bo Dallas does the same thing, presumably Bo is also a fire demon.

No problem. If he can just re-learn the armbar, he'll be back up to 1000.

Why is this sad? I don't get it.

Edit: Maybe it has something to do with the huge picture of a guy? But I can't make out who that is due to not knowing Japanese wrestlers super well + the crazy glare on the dude's face.

That's two of the "Three Muskateers" (three top NJPW heavyweights of the '90s) sitting next to a picture of the third. The two guys there are Chono and Mutoh. And yeah, it's sad because Shinya Hashimoto couldn't be there because he died of a heart attack in 2005.
