  1. I guess the spirit of the WCW Powerplant lives in NXT with DeMott running things.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Didn't anyone at WWE tell DeMott to Be A Star?

  3. Why is a talentless, hothead hack whose claim to fame is being the first victim of Goldberg training people.

    If AJ/Paige v. the Cum Dumpsters bumps Tyson Kidd and Cesaro to the pre-show, I'm going to laugh. Because I can definitely see that happening.

    ReplyDelete
  5. It's really weird how WWE chooses to acknowledge the full careers of some Hall of Famers and doesn't with others. Last night, they acknowledged Madusa and Alundra Blayze. They didn't acknowledge the Sheepherders. They didn't acknowledge that Rikishi was a Headshrinker among other things.


    There seems to be no template for why they do it. They're literally just picking and choosing on a whim.


    With Nash, I wonder how Diesel heavy that induction package will be. I'd bet at least 50/50 Diesel to Kevin Nash.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Well, they need some kind of cool down before the Error of Reigns begins.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Didn't they say originally that he'd be going in as Diesel and not Kevin Nash? I guess they chop and change their minds a lot though.

  15. Summerslam 2004 is one strange show.

    -None of the matches really hit great status, even though two or three of them really had the potential to.
    -Crowd reactions: hometown babyface edge? Buh Bye? Canadian champ Benoit? Huge face heat for Orton and pup when he wins. Eugene? You can pretty much pinpoint the reaction in this match as the end of his career.
    -Crowd behavior: the wave, the fan running onto JBL's limo.

  17. Observer's been discussing that recently. They're saying the Madusa thing was never as big as either company portrayed. It didn't make a big impact and WWE actually won out on it in the end because they sued and won a settlement against WCW for doing it.


    They've also theorized that part of her induction might be an apology.

    ReplyDelete
  18. And of course, some idiots on the Internet are actually defending DeMott's actions and calling Devlin a wuss. Don't believe me? Have a look: https://www.facebook.com/ItsStillRealToUsDammit/posts/779216735495874

  19. Someone just Woo'ed loudly. I do believe there is a Flair loose in my office building.

  20. I think he's exclusively Diesel for the same reason Scott Hall was exclusively Razor -- they're saving up for an NWO induction down the line.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Sounds like Demott likes to pretend to be a drill Sargent to escape the reality of being a 3rd rate talent who's came to fame was being named after a penis joke.

    Inducting her as Alundra Blayze, who she was for all of 2 years, when the ENTIRE rest of her career was Madusa and they OWN ALL THE FOOTAGE has to rank as one of the most insecure, pettiest things they've ever done. What a bunch of needle-dicks.

  27. Watched Spring Stampede 94 earlier. Flair/Steamboat is great but how clueless is Flair booking that shit like it is still 1984? No wonder they had to bring in Hogan. And all the lulz at Steamboat main eventing a PPV in 1994 while guys like Pillman and Austin are stuck in the undercard.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Extant1979 - Extreme SuperstarMarch 3, 2015 at 7:27 AM

    Wasn't that one of the best WCW cards of the year? There's a lot to be said about how stacked the undercard was in WCW before Hogan showed up.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Didn't this show kill Toronto has a pay per view town or was that later?

    ReplyDelete
  30. It's a great show but I mean c'mon, its 1994. Get with the times.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Edges tantrum was great.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Aye. It's a shame they went FULL Hogan though post 94. It's one thing to have Hulkamania running wild on top, but to boot out Austin, Dustin and others and replace them with Duggan, Tenta and others was pretty bad. I know Steamboat got injured, but still, an absolute decimation of the undercard.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Spring Stampede 94 is one of my favorite WCW ppvs.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Even with him outweighing me by at least 100 pounds, if DeMott (or anyone) called me "faggot" to my face I'd probably incredulously laugh. Who in 2015 still uses that as an insult? That guy probably should've just replied "Wanna get married," but I'm not sure if that's legal in Florida yet.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Forcing guys to take bumps straight on their necks? Yes, that's wrong.


    But calling a guy a Mary or whatever... is just name calling. Some dudes are dicks.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Extant1979 - Extreme SuperstarMarch 3, 2015 at 7:31 AM

    Switch the WCW Title with the WCW International Big Gold Heavyweight Belt, and it probably makes more sense. Ending the show with Sting-Rude could have been a lot bigger than Flair-Steamboat No. 2,875. Otherwise, I don't really think there's much to complain about on that show.

    ReplyDelete
  37. 1994 pre-Hogan wasn't really doing any of those guys any favors either. They were all just circling around each other doing jobs back and forth.

  44. Yeah, I guess. And you're right, booking Steamboat in the mains wasn't going to do much for business, as much as us lot might have loved it. And he also did a PPV match with Windham at this time too, right? He was basically booking for himself like Hogan did! He just had more talented friends to work with.

    I'm not going to defend what the former Gen. Hugh G.

  83. WWE can choose from hundreds of former wrestlers to train their talent.

    They chose Hugh Morris. As far as I'm concerned, they get what they deserve.

    By the way, Draven is far from the first guy to talk about how terrible DeMott is. Briley Pierce (Ziggler's brother) was one of the most memorable. Here's his deleted tweets: http://i.imgur.com/zZdGpzK.jpg

  92. I guarantee that if DeMott is fired (and he should be if this is true) it will be spun as a WCW guy not understanding the WWE culture. DeMott really sounds like an asshole.

  107. Absolutely, I can just see them trying to pass this off on WCW. When Hayes was suspended wasn't it pointed out that he didn't come up through WWE? As with DeMott, Hayes has been with WWE for a lot longer than anywhere else -- he's been in the company 20 years now. Maybe if they ever do a panel on gays in wrestling DeMott and JBL can be on the panel the way that Hayes was on the African Americans in wrestling panel.

    Well, Hayes is a bit of a different situation, because he's an old school drunk. Not forgiving it, but it's not the same as DeMott. I'm sure the small amount of blood in Hayes' Blood Alcohol Content has more to do with him saying stupid shit than anything else.

    Music has been dead for awhile now. Rock in particular feels as though it's plateaued. Each decade since the 1950s produced a new genre (Rockabilly, R&B, Psychadelic, Progressive, Stadium Rock, Grunge). Ever since the Nu Metal movement hit though, it feels like rock music just... stopped evolving.

    Man, Jon Stewart cut a professional wrestling promo better than 99% of the goddamn roster could do. Funny, serious when it needed to be, tied together a year's worth of storylines, got the crowd on the babyface's side and hating the heel, and actually made you want to see the heel get punched. Great fucking stuff, too bad their Wrestlemania main event babyface couldn't even come close to doing that.

  138. So many complaints for so long now, I don't know how the board of directors can not be pressuring WWE to let this guy go by now. Hugh must have some really good dirt on either HHH or Vince.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Because they have to make sure no one goes over.

    A somewhat sensible reason would be that Rollins holds a victory over Reigns, so he'd be in line for a title shot down the line. Oh wait, he has the briefcase? Hole of plot.

  142. Worst_in_the_WorldMarch 3, 2015 at 8:38 AM

    They really should just run with Rollins as the long term #1 guy in the company right now. The dude has really hit another level on the mic, he's obviously as good in-ring as it gets, and if they actually ran with him now he could play off the mainstream heat from the Stewart angle. Lots of actual big media sites covered the angle and namechecked Rollins, and the dude came off great in all the Stewart interactions.



    Make Rollins the fucking champ, let him keep badmouthing Stewart, and then do an angle where Stewart is in a babyface's corner against Rollins at Summerslam which is gonna be in either MSG, Brooklyn, or Jersey.

    On the one hand, locker room culture has always been dicey and never holds up under public scrutiny. Not excusing name-calling and slurs, but when you get involved in sports (or faux sports) you have to know what you're getting into. That world just isn't for everyone.

    On the other hand, WWE can't let this stuff go on while simultaneously promoting "Be A Star!" and all that. Plus, there's the issue of low-paid trainees being physically tortured by the employees of a publicly traded company. Not a good look.

  146. plus you have to make the team authority look strong to build towards...the Reigns...brock...wait a second

    ReplyDelete
  147. Maybe DeMott just keeps referring to himself as Hugh G. Rection and the wrestlers don't know what he's talking about?

  148. You are just a smark who doesn't know anything...having 5 guys and a chair help him beat the guy going over at mania is the way to build him properly

  149. yea because he could get away with calling someone a niggar I'm sure. (Sarcasm)

    WWE is nuts if they don't have the belt on Rollins at Summerslam, and build an angle where Jon Stewart is managing a babyface (Ambrose would be perfect here) to beat him for the belt. The show is gonna be in goddamn NYC, the place would go apeshit for it and they'd be able to get actual media coverage.

  151. Depends on how good of a friend it is, if your good friends, then you know what they are ok with, if you're there boss/trainer then it is unacceptable.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I just don't get it at all. Reigns shouldn't be losing and homestly hardly should be selling for anybody. He's going against Brock who has been built up huge.

  153. It's cool because they're a private company that doesn't have to explain bad PR to shareholders. Oh wait...

    Yeah, of all the options they've got, Rollins is their best bet.

  156. I'm extremely interested in finding out the RAW ratings this week. If they went up, will they give all the credit to Jon Stewart or will they try to pin it on Reigns somehow?

    And if they go down, will the blame go on Bryan or AJ or Ziggler or some other typical punching bag?

    Yeah personally I'm not a huge Daily Show fan--- I agree what the bent of what they're saying, but it gets pretty repetitive and samey (I get it, FOX NEWS BAD!). That said, Stewart himself is legit hilarious, dude was one of my favorite standups as a kid, and it really comes through how much of a fan he actually is. Really the perfect pro wrestling celeb guest, in that he's actually mainstream famous, dude's a standup comic so he can work a live crowd easy, and he knows the product.

  159. Since I'm switching back and forth between ECW and Raw, I was hoping if I added them to the watchlist, it would let me pick off at the next episode instead of scrolling through hundreds of episodes every time. Noooooope.

  160. There's really nobody to blame besides Reigns. He's clearly their guy and they realize that at this point.

  161. Worst_in_the_WorldMarch 3, 2015 at 8:43 AM

    Yup, by far. The one bright spot since last Mania has been just how fucking good Rollins has gotten.

    ReplyDelete
  162. a little name calling is kind of unacceptable within a publicly traded company and a professional work place. With you're buddies at the gym or bar, not a big deal, by a boss it is.

  165. There's a massive difference between instilling discipline or getting on a guy a bit and full blown abusive and negligent behavior. People who want to keep doing the latter to others use the "pussification of America" argument as an excuse to continue their behavior.

    "Even before last night's return of AJ Lee, the plan was for AJ & Paige to face off against the Bella's at WrestleMania"

    Fascinating, then why wasn't it reported? But thank you dirt sheets for reporting it once it's been made obvious on Raw, very helpful.

  167. Small price to pay.

  168. I'm surprised the fact that he targets / possibly further aggreviates injuries to guys who aren't medically cleared hasn't been addressed by the WWE. Wonder how many of these guys recoveries took longer because of his treatment (The Rusev story is especially troubling).

    ReplyDelete
  169. It was reported yesterday afternoon. I included that just to fill a story for the update.

    Last night, during Roman's rampage against the Authority, I noticed for the first time just how non-impressive his offense really is. If he beats the Beast Incarnate with a Superman Punch and a spear...well, that was fine in Shield six-man schmozzes, but not in a career-defining Wrestlemania match. Rock got away with the People's Elbow, but Roman ain't the Rock.

    ReplyDelete
  171. I mean, JBL is still gainfully employed and has a prominent spot within the company...

    ReplyDelete
  172. Of course, but WWE tends to blame someone else. Most famously, they blamed Truth & Miz when their Survivor Series match against the Rock and Cena didn't draw as high as they hoped.

    ReplyDelete
  173. So I only caught bits and pieces of RAW due to house stuff. I saw what was going on with Reigns, Triple H and Wyatt...what did Lesnar, Sting and Undertaker have to say?

    ReplyDelete
  174. Never seen much 1994 ECW before, really digging it even though there are some warts. Easily better than either WCW or WWF from this time period.

  175. Watching mania 12 while doing morning cardio. As a Bret fan, I always thought the sudden death ordered by Monsoon was bs. Bret should still be champ!

  176. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©March 3, 2015 at 8:47 AM

    If the Shield didn't break up, a triple power bomb would have been the most convincing way to take Brock out.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Bayless got Hammond, despite at least two teams with worse records than him laying claims.


    REALLY? That's a broken-ass waiver system.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Tradition isn't a very good defense for treating people poorly. Locker room culture is changing and it needs to change and get with the times.

    ReplyDelete
  179. Between the People's Elbow and the Scorpion King Deathlock, Rock's offense was pretty terrible. But his charisma was off the charts so you kinda ignored it, and the fans were into him big time.

    Now, I did see some clip on UFC where a dude got knocked out by a Superman punch, but I don't see Brock going down that easily.

    They should just troll the fans and Brock and have him lose in 18 seconds to the punch.

    ReplyDelete
  180. The feud that went across WCW, SMW, and ECW... and a fun little grudge at that.

  183. Hey yo! It's survey time!



    Who is more bangable in 2015: 42 year-old Tammy Sytch or 51 year-old Madusa?



    In their primes, the answer is obviously Sunny. But keep in mind that Sunny tends to be heavier and a nutcase, while Madusa is still in rocking shape and completely down-to-earth.

  184. Fucking right! You're supposed to be the champ in the allotted time and Michaels couldn't!

  185. And Curtis Axel is still in the Royal Rumble, damn it!

    ReplyDelete
  186. FUCK. I knew I was a long shot being 11 out of 12. I can't believe I dropped him and still ended up losing. Oh well, I think he is a flash in the pan anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  187. can we get Brock down to NXT to tune up for his big match at mania?

    ReplyDelete
  188. Yeah, they were just batshit crazy in 94-95. Their production style was so underrated...they'd pack more into 45 minutes than most shows would in let's just say...3 hours plus overrun.

    It's amazing how un-over Roman reigns is. I've never seen a Wrestlemania built around a guy that fans give less of a shit about. It's not even close to the Cena reaction, not on the same planet--- the kids in the crowd don't even seem to care about this guy.

    It's at a point where I don't even think a heel turn saves it, because it's less the crowd hating the guy and more them just not caring and not wanting to see him. It's really amazing stuff.

  192. I demand a rematch!

    ReplyDelete
  193. I understand locker room culture, hell I was on my high school football and wrestling team. But WWE can't be a corporate entity, be publicly traded and still let this shit go. They are opening themselves up to a big lawsuit here with the derogatory remarks and it seems like Demott is making them do unsafe things. Demott needs to go before this gets bad for them.

    ReplyDelete
  194. More than worth it. Once the details came out, he'd have no problems finding well-paying work elsewhere.
