Hall with an open mic...I might have to tune in for this. Even if he is sober he was always a bit of a loose cannon with a mic

I can't wait for it...

I may not give a shit about Lesnar, may not think it was a good business decision ... but Heyman is f'n owning the mic.

Heyman is one of those guys who just grates my nerves. Much like Vicki Guerro (sp?) and not in a positive mad heat sort of way but rather in a change the channel cant stand the voice way.

I am sitting here doing Continuing Education on the laptop with the TV on for background noise and I had to mute the TV until that bit was done.

Meanwhile, Damian Sandow just got the sort of match that seems to precede being wished well in your future endeavors.

Walked out of the room.

Cliffs?

Got pretty much squashed by RVD.

Helwig got through his promo reasonably well I thought. I mean, okay, it was kinda incoherent but in a controlled classic Ulti kind of way.

I believe that's what we call a face turn :)

It won't ever happen, but I'd love to see a War Games match with Bryan and The Shield against Evolution/Authority.

The only way this storyline can get better is if they make it a WarGames match.

Edit - Haha +1Carman

Someone specifically said the word "War" regarding this feud tonight. I think it might have been Triple H. I assume everything Triple H says is said for a reason. Gives hope that maybe that match will be brought back.

I'm pretty sure HHH wanted to do a War Games match before but Vince wouldn't let him. I wanna say it was around 2003 or 4.

As someone who wasn't paying any attention during that period, what's the backstory on that? Why did WWE stop doing them?

It was a NWA/WCW idea.

WarGames match - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EDIT: WWE had them but they got renamed so they aren't 100% the same.

Vince McMahon hates the idea that someone else may have had a good idea. My time frame might be off anyway and it was probably closer to the timing of the first Elimination Chamber match.

RIP the Ultimate Warrior.

it's kinda nuts that the day after three days in which he buried the hatchet permanently with WWE (the Hall of Fame, Wrestlemania and Monday Night Raw), this happens.

Just saw that :(

Rest in peace Jim Hellwig, you were truly one of a kind.

Holy shit was that anticipated?

Here's his promo from just last night on RAW (complete with line about how "every man's heart will beat it's final beat.")

2014 WWE Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior speaks: Raw, April 7, 2014 - YouTube

With hindsight, I guess, maybe he doesn't look so great here? (Edit: At about 3:00, he's completely out of breath - of course, it was a Warrior promo, so that can happen). He was a 54-year old guy, but if you look at his wikipedia photo and other recent photos - he doesn't look so great here by comparison. Could just be me seeing things that aren't there.

Given the solid appearances he made over WM weekend, that seems like a complete absolute "No".

And the wrestlers tweeting seem to be in utter & complete shock. This one in particular kinda choked me up

Deeply saddened. We just had a great talk & buried a senseless hatchet. Talked working together. RIP Warrior. Taking solace we made peace.

I don't want to read too much into anything so don't get me wrong here but his final promo is rather eerie to read in the wake of this news

Looks like a heart attack.

Ultimate Warrior Dies -- Dead at 54 ... Collapsed at AZ Hotel | TMZ.com

“Officials tell TMZ … Warrior collapsed outside an Arizona hotel at 5:50 PM on April 8th … while walking to his car with his wife. Warrior was transported to a nearby hospital … where he was pronounced dead.”

Wow, very strange. He seemed very excited and was sweating a lot. But to imagine a short time later he would be dead is unthinkable. Seeing how his little girls responded to his speech on Saturday night at this point really saddens me. RIP Warrior.

I think he was sweating a lot in the promo due to wearing a full business suit, a Warrior jacket, and trying to be the Warrior.

When I was a kid and watched wrestling he was always my favorite. RIP.

Really shocking news, seemed like he always took care of himself after wrestling, but again it could have been brought about by the 80's wrestling lifestyle. Still way too young and I agree, his last promo was eerily prophetic.

RIP

I'm glad he made it into the hall before his passing. He was my favorite wrestler as a kid. RIP Warrior.

Any chance this is a publicity stunt fueled by McMahon?

No. The WWE is a publicly traded global billion-dollar company with many business relationships and sponors. And even back in their more rogue and independent days, they never faked a legit death to the news media. Or even really trolled the media at all.

I ran into Mark Canterbury this morning, a.k.a. Henry Godwin of the WWE. Super nice guy, eager to talk about his career and such. He's now happily married to a lady that lives in my town and they are working on building a house and moving back to West Virginia where he is from.

I wanted to mention that I remembered him more as Shanghai Pierce but totally forgot.

Well presumably you'll see him again...

Put in this context, the Wrestlemania card was a bit jarring to me.

Not lying, watching Bryan at the top of Raw looking to the heavens made me tear up. A lot. I'm glad they're writing him off for a while.

Clash of the Champions start to roll out on WWE Network this week. Clash 1 airs on Monday, Clash 2 on Tuesday. After all the Clash of the Champions have aired, Saturday Night's Main Event is next and will roll out in a similar structure apparently where they air on the Network and then are added to the VOD library.

I've decided today is awesome Scott Steiner promo day.

Awesome stuff.

Can't wait.

And here is my scott steiner promo


Content4BM Moment #59: Steiner's History Lesson - YouTube

The best part about that Rollins jump was that Ambrose, Orton & HHH all went down the steps, and my buddy and I watching it were waiting for them to move back towards the stairs because we thought Rollins was going to do something, but they never got into position. So we waited and waited, and then boom, from a completely different direction and completely out of nowhere he takes them all out. Was awesome live.

It was awesome on TV too. No one saw it coming.

The Shield is great. All those guys should be stars someday.

That Rollins dive was so scary that I hear they're booking Daniel Bryan to spend the next RAW running away from it while crying.

The Daniel Bryan - Kane storyline is real bad.

It really is.

I wish Bryan wasn't such a "yes man" backstage and offered input on his character's storyline.

Every midcard, not quite who they wanted, world champion gets a program with Kane. It's a right of passage. One can only hope that a Brie/Kane wedding is set for the near future.

I don't have a problem with a program with Kane. Just the whole D-level scary movie plot is bad.

10 bells for former WCW announcer/personality Lee Marshall.
Rest in peace.
