She had technically been on the main roster since 2008. According to ProFightDB, she won ONE singles match in 2011 over Layla by DQ. She was on the winning end of about 4 or 5 of those random clusterfuck womens matches that went like 45 seconds. Her year with the most wins was 2009 when she won 3 tag team matches. She lost every other match in her WWE run. She's a mom now, good for her, but she beat JTG's record for being employed the longest & never had done anything. She's the worst and Im glad she's gone for good now. |

Mick Foley recently appeared on Lilian Garcia's podcast. During the interview, Foley brought up an incident where Vince McMahon yelled at Braun Strowman:
"I was about to go out there a couple weeks ago, and I heard Braun Strowman say, I want a title shot. Mr. McMahon's behind the curtain, at the board watching the monitor, and he goes, oh god, it's not a title shot. I was thinking to myself, then what is it? That's exactly what I would go to call it when I would go out there. You want a title shot? He's like, it's a title match. It's a match! So if you ever wonder what it's like to see a six-foot-eight, three hundred pound behemoth get chewed out, you should've been there."
Vince is a fucking idiot.

RIP George Steele.
Growing up all I really knew of him was the weird dude who cornered Steamboat at WM3. The guy who ripped turnbuckles & was in love with Elizabeth. But I never knew of his heel work until later. He played the weird oddball incredibly well. Of course Ed Wood was awesome too.

Kelly Kelly reportedly signed a 3 year deal with WWE.
Maybe she'll get the Emmalina gimmick.

She was a terrible wrestler though. Wouldn't really fit in with the current crop of women wrestlers to be honest. Unless she takes over Eva Marie's (Kelly would fit the Emmalina role well too, I agree) role. That said, she'd fit in on the whole Total Divas show.
So hopefully she's signed, but not as a wrestler. I realize that makes zero sense, but, whatever.

Yeah she's awful in the ring.
Who knows why she's back.

She's only 30 & she's hot? That's all I can guess.
I had heard she'll be back for Axxess this year, but aside from that, not sure why else. Girls in NXT that suck have more talent than she does in the ring.
She'd be good as Maryse's bitchy friend. Not sure why they'd give her a bitchy friend, but then again, no idea why they'd resign her.

Dammit..."Uncle" Ivan Koloff has passed away.
He should have been in the HOF before passing, or at least they should have announced him in this year.

Yeah he should have been in. He was a top heel in the old WWWF and was the one who ended Bruno's title reign.
The Russians were a great tag team in the NWA and Mid-South.
RIP.

I legit didn't know he wasn't in the HOF until I saw Sav's post. I'm not the guy that bitches about the HOF selections. I actually understand why Koko B. Ware is in the HOF. But I can't believe Ivan Koloff wasn't in. |

Drop In, for some reason I got him & Ivan Putski mixed up. I thought Koloff was in the HOF & Putski wasn't, but apparently it's the other way around. Regardless, he should absolutely be in the HOF. Why he wasn't is beyond me.
He was one of those cases where I didn't appreciate his work until recent years when I watched old NWA from the mid 80s. Him teaming with Nikita & Krusher Kruschev was pretty great. They played the role perfectly.
What is that, 4 wrestlers in the last few days? This can stop any time. |

It sounds like Koloff could have been a great induction speech.

I think he was part of the concussion lawsuit against WWE. Which could explain why he isn't in the HOF yet.

That's a pretty loaded deck so far. You need an old, a dead, and a woman now. Perfect is already in.

Rude? Rick Rude needs to be in the HOF, no questions about it.
Beth going in wouldn't surprise me, though I don't see why she should go in over other women. I mentioned this a while back, but she dominated the Divas division, meaning models plucked from catalogs. With the exception of Nattie (who she didn't even wrestle much) & Mickie (Lay-Cool you could throw in there too), there wasn't much competition during her time. Victoria, Molly Holly, Ivory all should go in before Beth does.
Who would the celeb be? I was thinking maybe Motorhead? With Lemmy passing last year, not sure though.

That's it. The other Minnesotan. I was actually going to respond with Rude, but I almost feel like the top of the card is too full at this point. But, Rude belongs in and they don't have a dead yet. Why not? |

Call me stupid, but I think we are getting Owens and Jericho for the title still.

205 Live this week, Austin Aries interrupted Graves on commentary to introduce the newest member of the CW division. He threw it to a video package of......himself! Aries said once the time is right he'll return to the ring & be the best.
I know it didn't really do much, but I'm all for Neville/Aries at Mania. It looks like they're slowly building to it.

The Cruisers have really started to pique my interest. I don't watch 205 or the Network. it's a long story and better left untold. But I'm starting to dig those little bastards.
