it that's the same guy, not bad that he can grow a beard pretty fast I was thinkin' the exact same thing. I don't think it's the same guy at all. The guy ringside has a darker skintone than the guy pictured with Heyman. Plus, I think his glasses are different too.

The next episode of Monday Night Raw should be a tribute to The Warrior. They should show classic matches, have interviews of the current wrestlers, and of course, show all the footage they have from the Hall of Fame on Saturday, his appearance at WrestleMania on Sunday and his final appearance at Raw on Monday.

This is the very first time I've actually seen this Firebreaker Chip in action. The match was actually too short for me to give a solid opinion on the guy. From what the ring announcer said, he said one-half of The Patriots and that is puzzling to me. To me, if he's one-half, then the team itself should be called The Firebreakers, no??
I don't understand why they would be called The Patriots and have one guy named Firebreaker Chip and the other, I'm assuming, Todd Champion as mentioned above.
From what I did from the clip, Chip is in great shape and not the worst wrestler I've seen. He did have the crowd going for him, so it wasn't the dud like a Saba Simba match or Battle Kat match.
I can't really give much more of an opinion than that.

Just got back from Walmart where I picked up the brand new Ultimate Warrior 3-disc DVD set. If they had the Bluray I would've got that, but they didn't, so I got the DVD set instead. If I see it, I will probably pick up the Bluray version tomorrow at a different location and just keep both versions.
Even as I was cashing out, the lady at the register heard he had died and was such a young man, as she put it. I'm still in a state of shock and disbelief. I just can't believe it. I really didn't get much sleep last night. It was too hard as I'm still trying to process this loss.
Warrior was one of my childhood heroes. One of my favorite Warrior memories was when he WHOOPED The Honky Tonk Man and took the Intercontinental belt. That was SO awesome!!
This is a tremendous loss for his family, friends and fans all around the world. We are all shocked and stunned by this truly unfortunate news.
I don't care if people think it's stupid or what, but I plan on honoring The Warrior's memory by getting a tattoo. I'm just trying to pick out the right one.
Since I was in attendance at WrestleMania VI, I think the color combination of his facepaint that night would make a great logo. I think that's the one to get.
I will never forget The Ultimate Warrior...
R.I.P.

"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breath their final breath. And if what that man did in his life, makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory, of those who honor him and make whatever the man did live forever. " The most chilling promo I have EVER heard, also, the way he was speaking when he put that Warrior mask on, it was almost as if he knew James Hellwig was gone & he was saying goodbye to his Warriors! I know man. That promo on Raw was profoundly eerie to say the least. I wish I could've met Warrior while he was here. I've heard that he treated each and every fan with respect and was so nice to them. He just wanted to make sure that their time and experience was a memorable one. I so wish I could've met him.... And to the lucky few fans who were extremely fortunate enough to get pictures with him shortly before he died, you should all cherish that experience forever. Warrior's legacy and memory will live on FOREVER!!! R.I.P. Warrior

I've just been sitting here in shock for the last hour or so... I can't believe it... especially after this past weekend, and last night.... that promo last night. This is so effed up... Me too man, me too....Just numb right now. I don't know what to say or think. This pro wrestling death has hit me the hardest of them all. I already cried a while ago when I re-watched the clip from Raw and will probably cry again and I don't care who knows it, I've gotta cope with it somehow. And some of you probably think it's stupid or whatever to cry over a person you don't know personally. I don't know, I don't care...I grew up watching The Warrior and I cannot believe he's actually gone... I was there in attendance at WrestleMania VI when he beat Hogan for the belt. I wasn't even 10 years old at that point. Just this past April 1, it was 24 years to the day for that awesome event. I remember it like it was yesterday. I want to do something to honor and remember The Warrior forever. One way of doing it, is get a tattoo. I've already got a few other tattoos, so, why not? I think I just may get a Warrior logo tattoo in his memory....I think that would be a tremendous way to remember him. R.I.P. Warrior!!! You will never be forgotten.

Wow...I'm am absolutely floored by this news. I don't know if I want to cry or what. There is NO way it was suicide. No way. It had to be what Randy Savage died of, a quick sudden massive heart attack.
I feel awful for his family and young daughters. I cannot even imagine the hell they are experiencing at this time. Must be unreal.
I cannot even believe I am writing this, but Rest In Peace Warrior...
You will be sorely missed...

Oh my god, come on dude. This is borderline hilarious. I just find it funny how serious some of you fans are taking 'Taker's loss last night. The streak HAD to end at some point. I'm sure 'Taker himself is relieved that it's finally over. Ultimately, it was HIS decision to put over Brock and without question, I think he made the right one. As I said in other threads, I'd much rather the streak be ended by Lesnar than Cena. I'd ing puke if Cena got the win over 'Taker instead of Lesnar. 'Taker was probably happy to lose to Lesnar. Quit cryin' and just remember that all good things must come to an end. I'm glad the streak is done and I'm glad Brock was the man to break it.

Bryan will hold the title till SummerSlam. There, he will lose it to Lesnar. I really like that idea. Either SummerSlam or Survivor Series would be a good time to drop the belt(s) to Brock.

The obvious pick was The Big Show from the beginning. But again, much like with 'Taker's streak, the WWE throws a curveball and catches everyone off-guard and goes with a shocking winner.

Cole didn't spoil anything. Quit looking for excuses for why 'Taker lost. Sounds like fans will come up with anything to try and cover why 'Taker lost, come on.
Michael Cole spoiled it....Looked like a fast 3-count by the referee...Brock changed the script....
Whatever.
Brock ended the streak and rightfully so. He's a legit bad-ass and deserved the win. All there is to it.

What do you mean get over it? I'm 25 years old. The streak is almost as old as I am. It's something I've witnessed since I was a kid. There's no way not to feel bitter about it. Why would you feel bitter about it?? The streak deserved to end at the hands of a LEGIT person. Like it or not, Brock was most certainly that LEGIT person. He's a trained MMA fighter and former UFC Heavyweight champ. Quite simply, it would not have been believable seeing a 49 year old guy defeat a trained MMA fighter. 'Taker LOVES the sport of MMA and probably had too much respect for that and for what Brock has done when he made the transfer to UFC to want to get another victory at WrestleMania. If I had a choice of the streak coming to an end at the hands of Brock, Sting or Cena, come on, there isn't a choice there. Brock all the ing way. He's a LEGIT bad-ass and deserved the win.

Whether it was anti-climatic or not, I think they were going for pure shock factor and boy oh boy, did that pay off in the end. NOBODY expected 'Taker to lose. They were expecting the same old 'Taker victory and 22-0. What an awesome way to throw a curveball and throw everyone off and to have something happen that left 75,000 fans in utter shock and disbelief.

'Taker lost to Lesnar, who need I remind you guys is a legit trained fighter and former UFC Heavyweight champ. 'Taker loves the sport of MMA. He obviously had a massive respect for that and for Brock being a fighter and probably thought that NOBODY would find it believable that he could defeat a former UFC champ at 49 years old. I know I wouldn't and didn't. I was shocked and still am, but I am glad the streak ended at the hands of someone who IS believable of ending it. I would have ing puked if John Cena was the man to do it instead of Brock. I'm perfectly fine with Brock winning. All good things come to an end.

Me and my buddies could not believe it!! We were all stunned and shocked like everyone in attendance at the Superdome. This loss is just as shocking as when Fedor Emelianenko lost to Fabricio Werdum by tapout. NOBODY saw that coming. Such a HUGE shock to everyone!!
My buddy was telling me this on Saturday that if 'Taker did lose the streak to anyone, it had to be to Brock Lesnar. 'Taker as we all know is a HUGE fan of MMA/UFC. He wears the MMA style gloves and even uses a variation of the triangle as a submission maneuver.
My buddy told me that because of 'Taker's love of MMA/UFC and because Brock is a legit trained fighter and former UFC Heavyweight champion, maybe he just thought that NOBODY would believe that at 49 years old, he would be able to defeat a former UFC champ.
That was pretty much my attitude prior to this. I was like, we all know who SHOULD win, but will he?? I and basically everyone else said hell no. And boy, were we in for the shock of a lifetime tonight.
I still cannot believe it.
Sure, it wasn't the best match around and maybe it didn't have to be. It is what it is, deal with it. The streak is over.
The Undertaker obviously has MAD respect for Brock Lesnar for willing to drop the streak to him.
What a shocker though. NOBODY seen that one coming.

Hey guys,
After watching the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony last night, there was one guy who I think should DEFINITELY come back to the WWE and that is Carlito!! The fans absolutely LOVED seeing him and hearing what he had to say. He really got a nice reaction from the crowd.
I'm not sure what he would do in his 2nd run with WWE if he did come back, but I'm sure there would be new feuds and lots of new storylines they could go with.
So, simple question. Would you guys like to see Carlito back in the WWE??

Yeah, Razor looked great!! So glad I got the chance to meet him last year. Definitely a great experience. He looked great then, but even better at the Hall of Fame.
I too, hope Diesel and DDP go in next year. They are both VERY deserving of a Hall of Fame spot.
