    Wasn't being bitchy I am just wondering what ricero's point of reference is? Has he seen all his poorly chosen comebacks in roles that don't protect his legacy or starpower.

    Since his retirement he had a great role as commissioner , a pivitol role in gettin edge and orton over, was great in ons 2 was a consistent commentator, good programme with flair and decent role in tna where he held the title...fair enough he was Santa Claus but he can get away with this stuff cause he's mick foley....he hasn't disgraced his legacy a bit

    Not a question with a definitive answer but I'm wondering this all the same. What do people think of Brad Maddox being involved with Paul Heyman after this week's Raw? Do ya'll want him involved in this Punk/Shield business? Is he too goofy to be a part of it or is there room for him?

    As a patsy who The Shield intimates him into using his camera MAYBE.

    Anyone know when WWF moved from Sky to Sky Sports in the early 90s? Pretty much when that happened I stopped watching, getting tapes of PPV from friends became difficult.

    I know that Sky Sports as we know it today formed in 1992 with the creation of Premiership football. I'd think the wrestling might have followed at that time, although I'm not sure.

    Some interesting reading here for you Jay. Doesn't exactly answer your question directly but I think you'll like it.

    His contract was just about up. Hence why he dropped the IC title on a house show a few days before hand. They weren't sure if he would be staying, or taking the belt to WCW so they claimed he was injured.

    Didn't he drop the IC Championship to the Mountie due to sickness only a little while previously? Then Piper beat Mountie at the Rumble PPV and defended it against the Hitman at Mania.

    My question. Were The Truth Commission part of the Gang Warz storyline?

    Does anyone know if the wrestlemania film cuts were ever released/are released, as I was mulling over silvervisions sale and saw the rock cena dvd and saw the film cut extra, and remember that the WM 20 dvd had a good portion of WM 19(I think) in the film cut style on the extras, and you see the odd snippet of other wrestlemanias in the film cut style.

    So have these ever left the WWE vaults, and if so, where can you view them?

    Does anybody know anything about this match, can't find anything online;

    It was Taker facing Show(?) a few years ago, and Taker got put through the announce table or something and the ref was counting to 10 and by the time he got to 8 Taker hadn't moved really and he got to 9, Taker still not up, and he wouldn't call the 10 even though it took another 5 or 6 seconds for Taker to get up. I tried searching "Undertaker 10 count botch" but can't find anything really.

    With regards to Royal Rumble, how we'll choriographed is it? Do they have a specific order that people leave in? Or are they just given a general time when they need to leave?

    Also this roulette raw thing, how does that work? Is it just as simple as someone stood behind the wheel and stopping it?

    Super scripted to the smallest detail. The most involved match of the year. Yes there is an order whom eliminates whom and in between which number.

    Pre-record and just do it again if needed.

    Also, I think you can get wheels that are programmed to slow down at a specific point.

    Court Baurer spoke about on the PWTorch site beyond the paywall.

    Pat Patterson the inventor of it historically is the man who scripts it out.

    I presume it's automated and rigged; watch how little power the likes of Vickie spins the wheel with yet he goes flying around....

    Hi,

    Can any one shed more light about what happend at the post WM14 press conference with HBK?

    *HHH tried to talk HBK out of attending the WM14 post event press conference but he didn't listen, went on a tirade and quit*

    What did HBK say?

    It can be seen as a bonus feature on some versions of Wrestlemania 14 DVD or other releases that I am drawing a blank on.

    Shawn's erratic behaviour during the time period is the stuff of legend and controversy as I sure you know due to immaturity and drugs. Shawn was having a really bad time physically with his back before, during and after that match and mentally with the prospect that his career was likely over.

    Essentially Vince McMahon, Mike Tyson and Steve Austin were sitting in a conference room with tonnes of mainstream reporters and then Shawn down the other side of the bursts through the big doors throwing a wobbler. Triple H quickly grabbed him by the waist and got him out of the room. Most of the press didn't notice but McMahon and WWF personnel did. Before Shawn burst in Shawn, HHH and Chyna could be heard in the hallway loudly swearing/arguing.

    Shawn essentially felt forgotten about.

    Can't find the incident but here's a clip of the conference:
