Got me thinking a bit about that Hogan-Rock match at mania. Obviously its not a technical masterpiece, but I've got to say to this very day, I've never EVER marked out more when Hogan entered that ring and the two stared each other down. And then when Hogan won the first lock up. Man. In college, we were out of our minds watching this thing unfold. Nostalgia, drinky, it was nuts. I thought the match was brilliantly booked. Also, you can say whatever you want about Rock and Hogan in terms of wrestling, but on that night I dare you to find a better example of a match that had great limitations (an aging Hogan with little in the wrestling arsenal to begin with) but maybe the best display of ring psychology I've ever witnessed. They played that crowd perfectly that night. Those two made changes on the fly due to the way the crowd ended up cheering Hogan and a VERY babyface Rock at the time. The Rock was genius during that match. I left that match having a whole new respect for how well the Rock understood how to tell a story in the ring. They both did it so well. Even though Hogan had some fun and even decent matches after that, if he had ended after that night it would have been like a walk off grand slam at the world series. Damn him for DH'ing the last ten years...and doing it poorly.

If Hogan and the original nWo came back, fans would shit on it and it'd be gone in 4 months. I would probably shit on it. They milked that nwo thing dry. I don't ever need to see Nash or Pac again. Real American Hogan and a healthy Razor Ramon though!!! I could dig that.

Dare I say, that at least for certain time frames, Hogan was both the best face and best heel of all time.

Did Randy Orton get in trouble again or something? Several Changes Made to WWE's Wellness Policy Posted by Jeremy Thomas on 11.13.2013 Talent can get a strike taken off now... - WWE quietly updated its Wellness Policy back on July 23rd. Several things were added, including the following: * WWE talent can request a Therapeutic Use Exception for a prohibited drug if there is a legitimate medical purpose with a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician. The use of the drug must be required for more than sixty straight days and the dosage must be "documented in accordance with standards and practices commonly accepted within the United States medical community." The TUE will be in effect for no more than a calendar year. * Any WWE talent who is arrested, convicted or who admits to a violation of law in relation to the use, possession, purchase, sale or distribution of drugs will be in breach of contract and subject to immediate dismissal. * A "positive test for alcohol" will result in a $2,500 fine per positive test, taken from the talent's downside guarantee. * A talent who has two violations of the Wellness Policy may enter a "Redemption Program" if the Medical Director approves it. The program is an eighteen month treatment process overseen by the Medicalk Director or an addiction specialist recommended by the Medical Director. Mandatory follow-up testing is required and no further violations during the program are allowed. After this time, talent can request to have a violation removed. * The following provision was added in relation to substance abuse: "Pain medications, and other substances prohibited by this Policy, may be abused at times and can become addictive. A WWE Talent who believes he/she may have a problem with substance abuse is encouraged to self-report and request assistance. No penalties are imposed on WWE Talent for voluntarily acknowledging a problem to the Medical Director prior to a drug test being performed herein and WWE will assist in securing rehabilitation services in such situations. The rehabilitation process can be engaged by a WWE Talent notifying the Medical Director, the PA, WWE Ringside Physicians or the WWE Wellness Coordinator that he/she has a problem and needs assistance."

Josh Reddick and Daniel Bryan are having a BeardOff tomorrow. From what I understand. I have nothing to add to that.

I thought they were having a contest and the loser shaves....however, reddick shaved his weeks after saying that. He probably has a new beard now but he did shave his during the season.

How do you have a "themed" Raw on the go home show before the PPV?
A PPV that currently features 3 matches.
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
