With all the supposed reports of Bray vomiting everywhere, I have to say, if he did I doubt he was sick. He's just finally going full Exorcist on us. I'm fully expecting his promo next Monday to be his head rotating a full 360 degrees as he projectile vomits nonstop for 30 seconds straight.

But really, dude vomited in front of like a thousand people and not a single one of them pulled out a cellphone and recorded or took pictures of it? Sounds really likely to me.

jake the snakes claims to have pissed himself, vomited, and poo poo in the ring in the same match after being stretched by a guy who looked like santa claus, but he has multiple versions of how he got into the business that i do not believe

So I was trying to find a data set so I could do some data analysis and see how often the PPV loser wins on the go-home show and I found http://www.profightdb.com/ which has some great data but no API I can easily work with that I can see. Great looking site, in searching through it I found that El Torito has the highest winning percentage in the WWE of anyone in it's history: http://www.profightdb.com/wrestlers-with-highest-wwwf-wwf-wwe-win-percentages.html

I'm a huge geek and did this last year. It's true about 43% of the time, 64% of the time if you remove neutral endings (i.e. last night's Roman vs. Bryan beat down which didn't have a 'winner')

edit: actually this was just for end of Raw segments so a bit different than what you're saying

He also claims the DDT was invented in an accident when the guy he was trying to suplex tripped and they both fell over. If I'm not mistaken, literally everyone around that time says that story is complete bullshit.

So of course it's on his DVD from a few years ago.

I haven't watched more than a segment of RAW here or there in months, but I still talk to a security person at the building I work at all the time about wrestling. She keeps up on some online news but is still a pretty huge mark. I asked her last night about RAW and she said she hasn't been watching the past couple of weeks because the shows are so boring. I feel this is a great sign heading into Wrestlemania.

Paul London and Kendrick also told stories about how JBL used to come into the showers and watch them soap up and try to touch them, so Jibbles has been Vince's avatar for a while.

it sends a bad message to children that you can and should refuse to tap out when caught in an inescapable hold, as tapping out is something people do, not because they are pussies who lack the sticktoittiveness of John Cena, but to avoid severe damage to their brain, spine or limbs

If Vince—or JBL, for that matter—was caught shagging rent boys in a worn-down motel it would surprise me significantly less than if he was caught with a top-dollar prostitute in a 5* hotel. Of course he'd zone out in meetings fantasising about The Brian Kendrick.

I hope Cena realizes Alcohal is NOT the way to go. NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Especially NOT on yourself. Get outta that Illuminati if you really are in it. That aint the answer you seek. Seek Jessus Christ, & ye shall be saved. Illuminati cant touch you if you truly give your life to Jessus Christ, the one true savior of all humankind.

Although the Stardust gimmick is just piggybacking on another Rhodes family gimmick, I liked Cody's reasoning for wanting to get away from the family name. Have there been other examples of a 2nd/3rd/Nth generation wrestler disowning his family because the name hasn't brought him success?

Of course this angle only works if Stardust gets a legit singles push, but at least it's something for Cody other than losing to the same tag team for 6 months.
