So apparently, Shane Douglas showed up tonight at RAW.
Had a Sin Cara mask on in the front row... during the Kane/Big Show match, he spazzed out and started an "ECW" chant.
Like two helped when he showed off his "The Franchise" shirt to drum up support for the next Hardcore Reunion show...
He was promptly kicked the fuck out.Comment

Just listened to the Low Ki interview with Bryan Alvarez over on fwonline.
People are going to make a big deal out of this (and already are), but he really wasn't ripping Punk or Bryan when he said he doesn't consider them "real champions". He basically said the main events of WrestleMania do not involve those men, so until they are on the top of the card and drawing money, they are not the real champions. It's hard to take issue with that point of view, but people on the boards are already running with it and stirring the pot.
The best line of the interview was when Alvarez asked him if he watched the DGUSA/EVOLVE product, and if he discussed the direction with Gabe before he signed:
"No. I don't really talk to Gabe at all, because I don't like him. So I try to talk to him as little as possible."

Listening to the AWESOME Nigel McGuinness radio interview with Bryan Alvarez & Dave Meltzer.
He's talking about match structure as art, and saying how a great match doesn't have to follow the 'shine-cutoff-heat-finish' paint by numbers template in order to be a great match. He compared it to 80's movies, that basically all followed the same structure, but how now the art form has evolved and we are seeing different things and how that 80's movie structure looks dated today. Interesting stuff, and I agree with him 100%. Any art form evolves over time.Comment

McGuinness also talked about studying Gordon Solie, Jesse Ventura, Bobby Heenan, and Joe Rogan when he took the ROH commentary gig.
Very insightful man.Comment

He says he's cleared to wrestle and could wrestle right now if he wanted to. He said he sent feelers to WWE when TNA released him, but WWE showed no interest.
He didn't get into specifics on why WWE voided his deal the first time, but gave the impression whatever it was is no longer an issue. He says he's just tired of chasing the dream at this point.
When his documentary comes out, it will go into all of the details.Comment

Reading between the lines, I get the idea that his issue was neurological. In the wake of Benoit, it would explain why WWE balked. He says he's fine now, and cleared to work, but understands that he will have problems later in life "due to the risks i've taken to get over and get to the next level over the course of my career". Sounds like head issues to me.Comment

Former WWE Superstar Big Daddy V (Nelson Frazier Jr.) was scheduled for the Wild Out Wrestling promotion's "Betrayed" event on March 31st at the Giant Flea Market in Union City, Tennessee. The former WWE King of the Ring was set to take part in a multi-man match with Kamala Jr. - Team Kamala vs. Team Showtime.
Kamala Jr. announced last night on Facebook that the event has been moved from March 31st to April 14th due to Big Daddy V being booked by WWE.
A source very close to Big Daddy V reports that WWE has him booked and he will indeed be at WrestleMania 28.
Maybe Giant Kamala II/Botswana Beast, of All Japan fame?Comment
