They are changing the theme song I dont know if it is just for tonight or if its permanent but here ya go. I actually prefer Nickelback to this one and I cant believe that I am even saying that.

I agree with you completely, the first time I saw them was on ROH TV (Have followed the TV show since the beginning having never missed an episode). I mean before they had the TV deal I would check out their stuff on DVDs but now I am really happy that they have a TV deal so I can see them each and every week in the comfort of my own home. Anyways the first time I saw ANX I liked them and every time I saw them wrestle I liked them more and more(Kind of like Tomasso Ciampa because I am really high on him as well) I am really happy they are the tag team champions because they definately deserve it and hopefully they will keep it for a while because it seemed for a while that the tag titles were getting thrown around (between The Briscoes and WGTT) for a while which I never like but it happens so whatever.

Ah I C but to be honest I didn't like it and if I dont like something at the time they are doing it then it doesnt really stick in my memory as something I would reference later on because like I said I didn't like it.

I cant remember why it happened and yeah they did try to do something different with this gimmick but he pretty much had the same gimmick just with his "mom" so I wouldnt consider it a gimmick change at all.</p>

Wrong Shelton Benjamin never had a gimmick like that because The WWE had him in the same gimmick thoughout his entire WWE run. I think your thinking about Ernest The Cat Miller because Ernest had the same exact music back then that Clay has now. I understand what you are saying that the gimmick has been done but not with the guy that you had mentioned.

Ah I C, I kind of figured he was but I wasn't exactly sure and even though Benoit isn't mentioned by any wrestling history sites (WWE's for the most part) he still gets mentioned in this thread from time to time but I completely understand people who dont want to mention him.

I truly hope that you made a mistake in saying that Mongo McMichael had a best of seven series with Booker T. Booker T had a best of 7 series with Chris Benoit not Steve McMichael.

I tweeted on twitter about it but I will say something here too, first off shes a moron for not even aknowledging WCW Monday Nitro and second off how oblivious can she be? It really bothers me when the WWE and people within the company choose to ignore wrestling history (There is more to wrestling than WWE even though they wont admit it) and when people say stuff like this they act like we as fans are complete morons and wont be able to find out that they are lying. Anyways thats enough for me I just had to get that off of my chest because it bothers me when people do that.

I agree with BHK in regards to the fact that the people that he mentioned (Ernesto Osiris, and RD Evans) are pretty much pointless. The focus has always been on Prince Nana and more recently Tommaso Ciampa who when I first saw him wrestle I knew he had that "It" factor (at least in my opinion) and since I have been watching his matches has become my favoriote wrestler in ROH. but yeah back to the origional point Ernesto and RD seem pointless and the chick in the group seems even more pointless and to me it just takes the focus away from the people that should be focused on (Ciampa and Nana).

Wouldn't it be worth it though if you could do it?

lol that would be insane, and damn dude you replied to my post quick because I deleted it after I posted it because it was meant more as a joke than anything else and yeah so now you quoted something from one of my posts that doesn't exist anymore so it looks weird.

Yeah it might but the travel would be a pain.

You mean the chick that when asked by Austin what her favoriote match was she responded with "Melina vs. Alicia Fox" That just made me sick to think that people that know absolutely nothing about the product have jobs because sadly she was signed to a contract the day after she got eliminated from Tough Enough.

The Bret/Shawn DVD is amazing.

I loved it when TNA had weekly PPV's and yeah I miss those days as well. TNA was really entertaining back then and I would actually find myself looking foward to Wednesdays when they were on. Ever since they got a TV deal with Spike (Well first FSN) and switched to monthly pay per views I just haven't been as interested. Maybe it was the wrong way for them to go meaning that maybe they shouldn't have started out doing weekly pay per views but that was probably their only option at the time but if I were them I would have kept doing things that way. Their is probably some underlying reason why they decided to stop doing weekly ppvs but it just seemed like people were more into TNA when they were doing it that way. I know that I am not as into TNA as I used to be, I loved the weekly PPVs and I watched their show on Fridays at 3pm on FSN (Yeah I know a really bad timeslot) but now that they are on Thursdays at 8pm on Spike I rarely catch them because I have something going on during Thursday nights. I know that they replay Impact on MTV Tr3is but the commentary is in spanish and I don't speak spanish so it gets annoying when trying to listen to Hogan do a promo (promos are still in english on that channel) and then have someone say something in spanish over the top of it, it gets really annoying after a couple of minutes. Sorry for the rant you may not agree with some of the stuff I said and you may but I just thought that It had to be said.

I don't know if you read any of the dirt sheets after mania but they did the short World Heavyweight Championship match in an attempt to break the record for shortest WrestleMania Title match. The record they were trying to break was the one set by the Kane vs. Chavo match at WM 23 which was eight seconds long, the match between Bryan and Sheamus was 18 seconds long. It would have probably of broken the record but I read somewhere that the Charles Robinson (the referee of the match) rang the bell too early. He rang it before AJ got on the apron to kiss Bryan and he was supposed to ring it after AJ got off of the apron and before Bryan turned around. That might not be exactly accurate but thats the story I heard. Anyways they didn't break the record and the Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan match got shafted for the second year straight. I was looking forward to that match last year before I heard that it was pulled from the card and I was looking foward to their match at 28 until it turned into what it was. Its almost as if the match didn't happen at all. I agree that their extreme rules match could be awesome but if this was the start of a feud I am just not happy with the way they went about doing it. Other than that though Wrestlemania was awesome not as good as 17 or 19 in my opinion but it was a solid show minus the Bryan vs. Sheamus fiasco.

Here is what I am looking forward to about the show. Jericho/Punk is the match I am mostly looking foward to, great build IMO in the short time that they have been building it. This match could steal the show. Sheamus/Bryan the match that was supposed to happen last year at Mania, I was looking foward to it last year and now that it has a storyline to it Sheamus being the Rumble Winner and Bryan being the World Champion this could be a great match as well. Taker/Triple H can't wait to see a hell in a cell match at Mania (Bossman/Taker doesn't count in my book) it will truly be the end of an era and I think that they will go all out especially if its possibly Taker's last match. The Rock vs. John Cena, I think the build for this match for the past year has absolutely sucked. They have done nothing in a year except for craptacular Rock Concerts and the Cena Rap (although Cena going old school was awesome) but they havent really done anything for me to get me into it. I am going to enjoy the match as I am sure that it is going to be awesome but I am just not that impressed with the build. On another note I heard that Vince wants to book the main event for WM 29 at Raw the night after Mania 28 like they did with Cena vs. Rock last year. If they do this I just hope they go about it differently this time around and I hope the match that they are going to build for a year isn't another meeting between Rock and Cena although I have a feeling that it will be. A while ago when the Rock vs. Cena match was booked for this years Mania I read an article about whether or not they will be able to build it for a year without dropping the ball and in my opinion they dropped the ball big time on the build for the match. Maybe its the era I grew up watching wrestling but I like it when they build a long term match WHERE SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENS DURING THE BUILD to get me interested and Cena Rock hasn't done that for me although it could be a great match I hope it is for the crap build it has had. The only thing that I really liked during the build to the match was the promo Cena cut where he said that at WreslteMania he was fighting for everyone in the locker room whos dream it was to become a pro wrestler and stay a pro wrestler. I normally don't cheer for Cena in matches but I will be cheering for him in his match with the Rock, although from a business standpoint it would probably be a wiser decision to have The Rock win if they are going to have a rematch next year at Mania 29 but who knows where it will go.

He might be a hippy that I don't know (if thats the gimmick they want to get across) but when I first saw him he reminded me of Superstar Billy Gram with the way he dresses so that might be the idea but I could be wrong.</p>

Austin told the story on his "What?" dvd, he called Christian and got his voice mail and for some reason he said "I am passing a rest stop, What? I said a rest stop" and from there he started doing it. On the DVD Christian said that the whole message was about 10 minutes long.

Just thought I would mention this since people were talking about the "What?" chants last night, I did go to the show and I wasn't a part of the people saying what. A fan behind me during the Taker, Triple H segment made a good point they said that half of todays WWE fans are too young to even know where the What chant came from. I couldn't agree more and it seems that people say what just to say it and they don't remember what wrestler started the whole thing.

Yeah are still doing the PG thing but they do have some stuff that isn't PG and the Cena Eve segment was a great example of it. Went to Elimination Chamber last night as I stated earlier and Raw tonight and both shows were really fun live. There were two dark matches after Raw went off of the air, CM Punk defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the WWE title, and John Cena defeated Kane once again in the post show main event. About the comments on the crowd even though I was in the crowd I wasn't in the group of people that were being morons and I totally see where you guys are coming from when you were saying that.

I was at the Elimination Chamber PPV and thought that after reading some feedback from you guys that I would throw in my own. Dark Match: Hunico defeated Alex Riley, nothing special but at least Hunico got on PPV even if it was a dark match. Raw Chamber: A great way to open the show although I might have had the World Title Chamber open instead. I thought that the match was insane and it was good and everything that happened as far as the eliminations were concerned I expected except for Jerichos early elimination. Beth Phoenix vs. Tamina: Better match than I expected and a great way to make Beth look strong if Kharma is indeed coming after her next. Smackdown Chamber: I thought it was good although I liked the Raw chamber better, Santino being the last one eliminated gave him a huge rub that he deserves and WWE made me believe that he was actually going to win the belt somehow. Glad to see that Bryan retained and that both champions will hopefully keep their belts going into Mania. Swagger vs. Gabriel: Waste of time in my opinion. Kane vs. Cena: Okay I didn't mind this match but I did mind the fact that it was the main event of the pay per view. After all the PPV is called "Elimination Chamber" Not "Ambulance Match". It was a good match and it the outcome was exactly what I expected. Going to Raw tonight, first time I have ever done two WWE shows on back to back nights and I can't wait.

Sweet dude, and yeah the SD chamber is kind of lacking star power after Orton's injury but I am still excited for it. The thing that I am most excited about is the fact that this is probably the first Elimination Chamber PPV where Cena isn't in his brands chamber match. That makes me happy because he's nowhere near the title picture right now for good reason. So we won't have to deal with a whole Cena domination spot during one of the matches. Plus I don't think Cenas match with the Rock at WM 28 needs the title in it to be special.

Going to Elimination Chamber on Sunday and I can't wait. @Jaysin, I don't think that they would do that, I wouldn't mind if Santino was out and Drew was in but they just did the battle royal on Friday and Santino won it in order to replace Orton in the match. If Drew were to attack Santino who is already someones replacement I think it would be a bit of an overkill.
