Its a horrible name. What the hell is wrong with the name Joe Hennig? Curtis Axel sounds like one of the wrestlers from No Holds Barred. There is zero chance of him getting anywhere with the name Curtis Axel. Joe the Hennig!!! I wish him all the luck in the world, but he is doomed with a name like Curtis Axel. Joe Hennig, no gimmicks, no "Joseph the Perfect Axe Hennig, just Joe Hennig, 3rd generation superstar. This is almost as big of a mistake as turning Ryback heel. I was literally saying this as he came out. Then the announcers kept saying how this was his debut match. Uhhh the guy has been your tag team champion! I know they think we all have short attention spans, but good lord. I did like the music, but the crowd reaction was bland because either they thought "That guy from the Nexus Michael whatever?," or "Heyman has Lesnar & Punk, this guy by comparison is looks like a jobber." Also having Triple H bury him by saying "The adults are talking" doesn't help. As a fan I know that honoring the generations before you is cool. I mean look at how well that was working for the Rock, before he changed it to the Rock. To me by not calling him Joe Henning, or Curtis Henning, or anything with Henning in it makes me think that he is afraid of his legacy, or that WWE does. If they really want to get him over, and make people think he's a Paul Heyman guy, they should have let him be like Orton and just go by his family name and make people know that he's damned worthy of it! "I'm a Henning, and you all have to deal with my greatness."

Totally not surprised at this. Especially after that story of the Undertaker calling them the future of the company, and praising their work in front of the whole locker room. It was only a matter of time after that.

When she came out with Fandango, all I could think was "oh they replaced the brunette with a hot blond." Then I saw her dance, and knew she was there because she's probably going to be involved in future story lines, not involving dancing LOL

Great post! My favorite will always be the Winged Eagle belt. Hogan, Flair, Hart, even Austin held that belt!

These were my favorites: My first impression of the new title to me was meh. But I like it better than the spinning belt. Had we got either of the 2 above I would have really liked it, especially the 2nd one.

I came across this documentary on youtube on Flair quitting WCW and going to the WWF with the WCW title in Flair's first WWE run. It was pretty good, takes you down memory lane (If you've been watching wrestling for as long as I have!).
But the gem of this doc so far is at the 33 min mark there is a fan recorded house show match in Oakland, of Hogan vs. Flair. The match is so good that I really wished they had had their match at Wrestlemania.
Anyways hope you all enjoy it!

Great post! Thanks for the pics! My favorite is WM 27 & 21 (I went WM21).
What's funny is yes a lot of the early 'manias had lack luster entrance set ups, but my memories of them are of excitement to watch them, and loving every minute of them. I go back and watch them every now and then, and they are still that good!

Pretty much what I was going to say. More-so Cena. Reason why I say Cena, remember when Big Show chokeslammed/threw him off the stage and Cena crashed into the giant spotlight and it exploded?? Cena appeared the next night on Raw without anything wong with him. Back in the day, if that were to happen, that wrestler would not have been seen for half a year. LOL They would've been out of action selling that injury for all its worth. Wrong. Cena didn't appear on RAW the night after that happened. Check your facts before you criticise someone..... And before anyone accuses me of white knighting Cena, he's my example of worst Superman booking. Gets DDT'ed on concrete at SummerSlam 2010 by Barrett, then wins the match 30 seconds later without a trace of injury.This is exactly what came to mind for me too!

Damn. This is very shocking, even with his past history with drugs it sounded like he had gotten his life back on track. On Flair's new shoot DVD from RF Video he had talked about Reid working in japan, and how good he was doing there, and how he was going to be taking Reid to Wrestlemania weekend to hopefully get him a deal with WWE. I had been really curious to see how good he was in the ring. RIP Reid Flair

I went to the last Taboo Tuesday in August of 2005 and people were starting to boo him then. All I could think of the time was that it must only be people from the IWC, because it seemed like everyone else was in love with Cena. That's when I started noticing the hate, and hearing it loudly at WWE televised events.

I'm not sure if "Trolling" would be the correct word for what you're describing. It's more like being Rick Rolled. But here are a few of mine: Montreal Screwjob Ok this one they really were just trolling us LOL And this one has more to do with behind the scenes crap than just being annoying on tv

I got a pic with Virgil & Ted Dibiase a couple years ago at the San Diego Comic Con. He's an ok dude.
My only question is why would someone pay to set up a site that basically has pics of a guy sitting by himself? Seems like whoever put this site together has too much time on their hands & really doesn't know what to do with their money, LOL
