I think in way WM17 when my satellite service had this all-day thing where they recapped all the WMs. It was amazing.

IMO, the WWE should offer that type of thing, plus the full HOF and then WM for a decent price.

That was WM 16 when they did the All-Day deal because it was 2000.

what are the odds Cornette drives next to a WWE truck on the highway?

Why do you hate to admit it?.

Because the HD PPV is way too pricey.

If the top four matches deliver.

Well worth the price and you should be happy to put your money behind such a card.

I think the E has done a real poor job the past few years giving someone a reason to buy...this year, they give the casual fan (Rock/Cena), the mainstream fan (Taker/HHH) and the geek (Punk/Bryan as champs) a reason to buy.

Apparently, TNA worked out a deal with WWE so Flair can go to the HOF ceremony.

Not that it'll happen, but it would be very nice for SOMEONE to thank TNA for being willing to work it out so that he could appear.

The last I heard, TNA wanted exactly that as part of the agreement.

Considering Flair was used to sell tickets and will be used to sell DVD's, it's really a modest request, and it won't hurt the WWE one iota.

Tomoaki Honma has been fired by New Japan. "Private issue" was the reason given.

If you recall he had that great match against Masato Tanaka in January.

Its rare to get fired in Japan, so he must have did something pretty bad.

Agreed. It'll be interesting to see if it makes the TV showing on Monday.

Curious to hear what he did to manage that.

If they did sneak in any TNA reference, no way it would make the heavily edited 43-minute TV special.

GOT My Birthday Tommorow and My 1st DGUSA SHOW + WM28 this weekend

In the El Hijo del Santo lawsuit against AAA stemming from his claim that they put his name and likeness on the box for the TripleMania 2009 DVD and he claimed he didn’t know the show was being taped for DVD, the case is ongoing and there was testimony going on over the past week. Marisela Pena tried to get Santo to unmask in court, claiming that she knows what he looks like and wanted to make sure the person under the mask is Jorge Guzman. He refused to unmask, but the judge sided with Santo and said he didn’t have to unmask. Pena refused to settle out of court with him feeling she was right since they had done DVDs every year, Santo came in for the show, and AAA and Pena believed they agreed verbally to a long-term deal, he did the show, won the main event as the big hero, and then left the company after the match, bad mouthed the company, and sued them over being in the DVD. Pena is trying to get Santo admit under oath wrestling is “all choreographed,” likely another way of trying to get him to drop the case since he’s old-school in wanting to at least claim some of wrestling is still a struggle.

This kind of stuff always cracks me up.

There is some speculation that the NOAH Yakuza scandal might have something to do with New Japan firing Honma.

The NOAH thing happened because a book came out last week detailing two NOAH execs, along with Marufuji, Morishima, Suguira, and a few others having close relationships with Yakuza members, including attending birthday parties of their children. The implied personal relationships make it worse than originally thought, because its not just business related, which is still frowned upon but widely known to be impossible to stop.

Anyway, people are saying Honma might be a gansta, and New Japan, with the new owners and all, panicked and let him go.
