Absolutely agree with you.

A singles match outside of the top few is guaranteed to be cut to oblivion on the day, even if the majority of those matches really SHOULD be as short as possible (Sting, Taker, and the combo of Reigns and Brock really aren't up to having long matches).

The extreme rules ppv is in for a treat so.
Similar to Bryan vs. Sheamus a few years ago

No a great match on a B PPV that should have taken place at Mania.
WWE will probably be frustrated when they realise one of them has to go over at the end of the day though.

Obviously the logical way to end the match would be for the Authorithy to send Kane out to cause a no contest. /WWE Booking

According to Rajah:

"WWE have made a new rule that talent and office people and talent and production people are not allowed to date each other. They do not want talent and staff interaction past a professional level.

Well there's Rosa screwed. Poor Micheal Hayes.


On a serious note tho. Is this even legal? Surely this can't be true

So Triple H and Stephanie are at least partly responsible for this rule? The hypocrisy is ridiculous.

Given the "independent contractor" status of in-ring talent I can't imagine WWE being on rock solid ground with this rule, but any punishment for talent would likely be in the usual form of a fall down the card for "creative reasons" rather than being linked directly to an unapproved liason.

Absolutely ridiculous about the no dating other talent or staff rule! Not only is it highly hypocritical but it is also going to make it a lot tougher for talent to find meaningful relationships. They are on the road 5 days a week in different places so how the hell are they supposed to meet someone outside of WWE like that? Insane!

Pretty sure it's only production,creative and executives,they can still date other wrestlers if they want too.

Is it not that talent and staff are not allowed to date each other? But talent can still date talent and staff can date staff?

Yup I read it wrong! My bad!

Lucky for HHH that rule wasn't around in 1999

Scavenger XIII

Considering the amount of talent already married to each other they'd have had an awkward time with that.

That seals it then. Never taking a job with WWE unless it's as an onscreen talent. Imagine having to turn down those Divas all the time?

Yeah I'd say the lads working on WWE.com are constantly having to turn down the advances from Divas. :pac:

Oh please just fúck off Hogan. Please. For the love of God!

Hulk Hogan recently spoke about the possibility of one last match with WWE. Here are the highlights…

On his Current Health:



“My back is straightened out after nine back surgeries, everything seems to be on track and working really well.”


On A Final WWE Match Happening:



“I got some advice from a wise man, his name is Vince McMahon and he said, ‘Never, say never.’ I’m back home in the WWE, this is where I started, I’m home and to end the legacy and put the period on the end of the sentence I am training right now like I’m getting ready for the WWE Championship. You just never know when Hulk Hogan is going to tear the house down. It could be any time, it could be anywhere. I am training and getting ready for my last match, my last run or my retirement match. It’s not over until the fat lady sings and I haven’t put the period at the end of the sentence yet.”


On a Possible Match at WrestleMania 31:



“If it happened I would want it to be the greatest match of all time, of course … If it’s the end of my career and a huge emotional send-off that would be great, or if it’s the beginning of another huge run for Hulkamania and me chasing the dream of winning the WWE title, that would be brilliant. I’m thinking very positively about getting back in the ring.”

He was against Steen in his final ever match before heading to WWE and he looked decent in it. I have no clue though

I know, but even the venue's health and safety insurance policy should rule out things like this.

The thought on whether Brock will leave WWE for MMA after Wrestlemania has kind of changed this week. Firstly he was booked for heroically at the Rumble, then the news that the Network hit the million mark which may mean that WWE will likely have to money to keep him and now this interview:

Also Brock is

booked on WWE TV passed Wrestlemania.

I agree and they are either positioning him as one or testing it out.

All they need to do is create some heels everyone hates. If only they had someone like that.

The old Big Show/Lesnar turn with Heyman isn't an unlikely scenario for WrestleMania. In some ways it might be ideal.
