There's nothing I can say about the individual Raw matches, that doesn't sound like blinding praise, because it was another solid week of storytelling. Everything has me excited: Tatanka-Piper, Undertaker-Raven, Crush-Yokozuna, IC title, etc... I smell a heel turn at WM 11 by either Bret or Razor by the end of the match. I'm fairly confident that although I attended WM 11 in Hartford in 1995, I definitely would've ordered the PPV if it was a lineup like that, coming from the UK.

Take it into a computer repair place and have them fix the hinges and/or casing. What is usually the price range for fixing the hinges and/or casing. It depends on where you go, but I couldn't imagine more than two figures. I wouldn't know the exact amount, as mine was fixed in-house and charged as a business expense.

Congrats, my man. Glad everything went off without a hitch. I know all about ruined photos (RVD) or being so totally starstruck you can barely form a coherent sentance (Jimmy Hart). The closest I've ever been to your position was attending Flair's and Hogan's last matches in WWE, live (knock on wood).

Please continue... I'm dying to see how your WrestleMania 11 turns out. That back story for Razor Ramon was well done. Sounded like something they'd do today, if Scott Hall was just breaking in with the character now.

Looks like I have a full-fledged collection now. It started with the Hot Topic CM Punk. Then, my fiancee got me the Slimer POP from Ghostbusters, when I was going through a medical procedure this summer, and she wanted to cheer me up. Little did i know, she also bought the Ray and Egon Ghostbuster POPs and saved them for my birthday.
So then, with a birthday Amazon gift card, I found the rest of the Ghostbusters collection: Peter, Winston w/Ecto-1, and I found an Angry Burnt Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man exclusive to Hot Topic. I have a Daniel Bryan POP on reserve, but I'd be willing to switch it out for the upcoming Hot Topic red gear exclusive. Does anyone know when that's released?

get the nicest dollar bill you can find (and are comfortable using for this). Dollars signed and framed look awesome, especially from someone like Flair. I've got a few signed dollars when I met someone I wasn't expecting to and had nothing else to get signed. I did the same when I bumped into Mike Tyson. Dude gave me a hug and signed a dollar, because that was the only paper I had on me.

That Piper/Tatanka segment was well done. I can imagine it (and the feud itself) happening in 1995 for real. I hope to see more of your WCW invasion. Hope you haven't given up on that. Looking forward to Bret-Razor, and Raven-Undertaker. I swear, if the actual WM 11 was like that, it would've been a bigger privilege for me to have seen in person. Can't wait for more.

I'm loving this WCW Invasion thing. The press release really sold it, too. Love me some Brian Pillman in the WWF. It would've been cool if you'd replaced Maggs with Steve Austin, but I guess in this timeline, he was already out of WCW. Oh well. Can't wait to see where it goes.
I also can't wait to read WM 11. I was there in real-time. Going to seem funny to have it coming from overseas, instead of my home-state of CT. Will Lawrence Taylor have a role in your version? Or, was this show used to pretty much get him a spot and then out of the way? Keep up the great job. I'll be reading.

I'm perfectly happy playing WWE 2K14 the rest of my life. The only thing that could make me get 2K15 is the Sting pre-order bonus, but I never go online for video games, so I wouldn't even be able to use the pre-order code. If I want to play as Sting in a video game, I have ones that date back to the original Game Boy. Back to the point, 2K14 has all my favorite wrestlers growing up, including the Roddy Piper creation suite formula. Plus, I can make Mr. Perfect the Executive Consultant to CM Punk any time.

I'm not a Batista fan, but I would pick up the Bluetista figure in a second if I saw it.

Two of my favorite Heenan/Jim Ross dialogues...
From WM 9, Jim Ross' WWE debut: Ross - "I've never seen that in my career!" Bobby Heenan - "Yeah, but your career spans, what, three hours?" Ross - "Still never seen it." Heenan - "I saw you out front parking cars on the way in here!"
Colosseum Video match - Nasty Boys vs. Beverly Bros: Ross - Now, you'll have to help me out here, Brain. Which one is Beau, and which one is Blake? Heenan - Well, the one with the blond hair and the tooth missing is one of the Nasties, so forget him. The one with the long pants and the bow tie? That's the referee, forget him too. The one who just tagged in, that's another one of the Nasties, so forget that. The one in blue is one of the Beverlys. Ross- Oh? And what might his first name be? Heenan - Mister.

In West Palm Beach FL, ROH is on MyNetwork 15 @ 8pm, and CW 34 @ 11 pm. Different times, different places. It's called syndication. But yes, hopefully it can get a wider base, enough for a toy company to churn out figures soon.

WrestleMania 24 JBL Vs. Finaly This match is great. They just straight up kick each others ass. I love when Finaly flys through the middle rope and JBL hits him in the head with that cookie sheet. Money In The Bank John Morrison Vs. Carlito Vs. Shelton Benjamin Vs. CM Punk Vs. Kennedy Vs. MVP Vs. Jericho I honestly don't know what to say about this match. So much awesome stuff. Always love these matches. Umaga Vs. Batista I expect this to be hard hitting. It's a shame Umaga wasn't around longer. Idk about you guys but I could have seen him with a transition run with the wwe title. That gimmick just worked. Decent match. Idk how I feel about Batista winning simply because I've always been primarily a Raw guy. Chavo Vs. Kane Honestly this feels like a throw away match to me. And I was proved right...seeing that it lasted all off three seconds. Geeze. (Wtf at the Carlito and Maria skit. LOL) HBK Vs. Ric Flair I've seen this one before and I don't think anything else on the card can top it. That video package. Them feels man. Them feels. This is just a straight up classic. One I'm seriously sad I didn't get to watch the night it took place. Flair and Michaels both prove why they are two of the best of all time. (Edge's promo was intense. Talking about crushing a kids dream.) Bunnymania Well... There was that. At least the girls are hot. Lol King punching Santino and Snoops involvement was cool and honestly the match wasn't TOO bad. Triple H Vs Cena Vs Orton I'm looking for Cena to make this match. Orton doesn't have good in ring chemistry with either of them in my opinion. Damn I honestly love Cena's fisherman suplex. That was actually a damn good match and I'm sincerely shocked Orton retained. Great ending though. Big Show Vs. Floyd Mayweather This honestly isn't bad for what it was. They managed to be entertaining and I suppose that's what matters. Undertaker Vs. Edge Another great match. This was a very solid event. Definitely my favorite so far from this trek through 2008 I was there, because I'm a Flair mark. I attended the HOF the night before, as well. During Flair-HBK, my best friend from high school kept getting distracted by a talkative little kid, going on and on about John Cena. He was polite, but trying to concentrate on the match. Every so often, my friend would turn to me and facetiously say things like "I swear, I'm gonna kill him" or "I wonder if 7-year-olds can fly".

Here's a piece of wishful booking that entered my brain as I was falling asleep...
During the 2015 Royal Rumble match, it's down to two last entries to arrive. Everyone in the ring tries to work together to eject a larger participant. In the kerfluffle, absolutely everyone in the ring falls out and is eliminated. All of a sudden, we have an empty ring with ten seconds before #29 arrives.
It's the surprise in-ring return of Daniel Bryan, back from recovery. Everyone goes nuts cheering and celebrating. YES! chants aplenty, and Bryan spends the whole one and a half to two minutes greeting the crowd and chanting around ringside. He enters the ring as the countdown winds down. The buzzer sounds and we're greeted with a familiar theme. Kurt Angle has returned! More jubilation. They face each other in the ring, shake hands, and have a nice wrestling clinic, until finally, Angle is eliminated. As Bryan celebrates the win we all feel he should've gotten last year, Angle salutes him from the outside.
That's a great way to give Bryan a surprise return and an implied shot at redemption, as well as re-introduce Kurt Angle on a part-time schedule - or just a Legends type contract deal. Just my two cents.

Nice! drag queen huh? Eh, I can see what he means. The robe is extremely flamboyant to the common man's eye. I have read about this error that wwe made in the Stinger's DVD, please post a pic of this. Ghostbusters are always win, win. I bought the movies on blu-ray 2 weeks ago for $18.00 bucks at Frys Electronics. Congrats on the gifts. It came out a bit blurry on close up, but I circled it in red. Apparently, they put a photo of the nWo Sting, Jeff Farmer, without intending to.

To explain the title: It was my birthday a week ago, but since I was staying at my mom's house in the Northeast anyway (to be in the area for a doctors visit), she and my step dad saved their gifts until I came up. Here's what I got... Yeah, these are what I said I wanted. They ordered them, and set the Amazon box aside when it came. My step dad can be a fun-loving smart ass. Once I opened the box, he told me he thought Flair was a drag queen, and thought Sting was a mime. Actually, until she ordered it, my mom thought I was asking for something to do with Sting the musician. The Ghostbusters book is the second-to-last volume of the IDW comic series. Oh, and in case you were wondering, I got a copy of the Sting set that has the wrong photo in the middle. Collector's item! I didn't think it was a mistake until I read that they admitted that they goofed. Anyway, thanks for looking!
