I'm not too surprised, I saw a clip a few years ago where they did a Hart Foundation reunion for that promotion that was running in ballparks only, and the whole promo, Jim was shaking in a way that sorta reminded me of Parkinson's. I know they're not the same thing but they do both have shaking as symptoms. Sad, though, I loved the Foundation as a kid.

Jim was on Jericho's podcast one or two years ago. Could recall stuff when TJ Wilson was feeding him answers and/or keywords.

Vince.txt stuff from the Observer:

Dave posted:

It appears McMahon is adamant in creating the idea that Lesnar has walked out, is going to UFC, turned his back on the WWE fans, and isn’t coming back to drop the title and holding up the belt. The idea would seem to be to create a storyline that gets Reigns cheered at the Barclays Center.

Dave posted:

[Jim] Ross was in great pain flying home and checked himself into the hospital on 7/9. He was diagnosed with bruised ribs, a bruised sternum and some lung issues that could possibly lead to pneumonia. With the rib injury, every movement was painful and he had to cancel three commitments this week due to the injury. In a class move, whether ordered or on his own (and I’d think it wasn’t on his own) Jonathan Coachman tried to make a joke on Raw about how broken ribs are going around in wrestling later that night.

Had the same exact thought. She looks great as that character. The whole set of photos makes me miss wrestlers having more defined, sometimes outlandish gimmicks other than "My name is X and I'm a wrestler."

Not that I want to see the return of wrestling plumbers, but just some personalities and fun character work.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
The Vince story is why I'll never believe when they say "Oh they don't care that Roman gets booed." Bullshit you don't care. You would not be going this loving hard on trying to get him cheered if you didn't care.

It’s all Vince knows. Create one mega star and ride him for all he’s worth until he’s ground to dust or leaves. He can call it a day and focus on other efforts like XFL

Nova had a story about running into Hogan in the locker room while decked out in full Hollywood Nova gear (this would've been during the bWo's brief WWE stint in 2005). Nova was a bit worried because he thought Hogan would be upset about the gimmick, but Hogan just kinda went "Keep doing what you do, brother" or something to that effect.

I will stupidly optimistically note that she's been on TV a lot, and winning matches a lot, and winning the types she used to always lose ("mild interference from the outside" is the most devastating finisher against Becky). Maybe there's a there there.

She's likely being built up as the next challenger to Carmella. Or Charlotte could come back and feud with her. Because right now Charlotte is penciled in to have some sort of Summerslam program, so I can see WWE going with Becky vs Charlotte, or Carmella vs Becky vs Charlotte vs Asuka at Summerslam.

I want to say Becky vs Charlotte is likely because its pretty well documented now that WWE loves recycling storylines/"matches" from the opposite brand, so I can see them running Becky vs Charlotte at Summerslam just because its very likely we get Sasha vs Bayley.

I'm struggling to see how Vince expects this to work when Brock hasn't been around for ages anyway so who the gently caress is going to notice and even if it did work and made people hate Brock having the belt how is that going to get people to like Roman Reigns? They'll just boo both guys like they have for the last 16 Brock V Roman matches.

This whole thing relies on Brand Loyalty to WWE and getting worked up about Brock disrespecting The Brand and Roman defending The Brand and I don't think WWE's brand loyalty is anything but resembling a bitter couple that should have been divorced years ago.

And again going to a totally other company and causing a scene is a cool exciting thing to do. How does that do anything for Roman.
