A new clip from Batista's forthcoming DVD captures one reason why Batista's in-ring return at the Royal Rumble went poorly.
Batista, who lost the audience at the Rumble when he appeared to be slow and out-of-shape, was unable to properly warm up due to wardrobe problems.
The clip shows Batista being fitted for new wrestling trunks after he decided against his old-style trunks because he was self-conscious about his look, the zipper on his new boots breaking, and not being able to find the Gorilla position for his Rumble entry.
"It just felt like old times because it just felt like every time we were getting ready for a live show, everything goes wrong, man," Batista says in a sit-down interview.
The clip shows WWE personnel sewing up Batista's boot as Sheamus is entering the Rumble at the #17 position and still working on Batista as Luke Harper enters at #22.
"I haven't warmed up, I still don't know exactly what I'm doing," Batista says. "Just nothing is going right... And then you go."
The clip ends with Batista entering the Rumble at #28 prior to his victory by last eliminating Roman Reigns.

What a lame ass excuse. Maybe try your shit on a few hours (or even days!) before to make sure it fits. Lazy. Just like he is.

And that wasn't even why people really hated him at the Rumble. They hated him because he wasn't Daniel Bryan.
The out of shape stuff came from before then if memory serves.

Their best option is to keep flair away from their product. The last few times we've seen him he's been losing petty arguments against Foley on panels or in the ring stumbling thru a slurred promo. I think the evolution regroup was just doomed the second they brought out those terrible t shirts on the front of which they have all perished...

Billy Graham Says He's Done Watching WWE Posted by Jeremy Thomas on 06.01.2014 Watching Smackdown made him vomit... - Superstar Billy Graham says that he's done watching WWE. Graham posted the following to his Facebook page, saying that he's finished with the company's programming following Friday's episode of Smackdown: Hello Facebook friends, This message will be my last as I have decided after watching the entire Smackdown show that aired Friday night May 30th, that I am wasting my time viewing the WWE shows. There are of course many very good matches and hard-working top guys out there performing for you fans. To quote 2 lines from Bob Dylan's " Wedding Song " tune, sum's up my position perfectly, " It's never been my duty to remake the world at large.... Nor is it my intention to lead a battle charge. " It is not my job and I have no business to critique or pass along any negative judgment on the WWE. Believe me there are plenty of critics around to opine on the state of the WWE. Last night when I saw Bo Dallas running around the ring acting like an idiot and hugging his opponent Xavier Woods when the match was over I wanted to vomit. Then here come the effeminate Pete Rose sucking on a lollipop, followed by maybe 15 of his circus troupe of freaks and geek's, he gives me the creeps. Then came the dwarf El Torito dressed in a children's bull costume who proceeds to pin a normal size wrestler. By then I did indeed vomit.I get intelligent responses from my Facebook friends and then I get ignorant ones like this one from from Dan Pedreyra who wrote about Cesaro and I quote " Give Cesaro time to develop, he's learning, he's hanging out with Cena." Who the F is Cena ? God ? I will tell you who got it right in her response and that is Jaynie Mullins Mullins, who said and I quote, " The WWE is now the WWZZZZZZZZZZ. " Peace, Superstar Billy Graham Read more at www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/324487/Billy-Graham-Says-He//s-Done-Watching-WWE.htm#CYllpjqHPxyzTX2R.99 |

According to WrestlingDVDNews.com, WWE's upcoming Paul Heyman DVD, titled "Ladies and Gentlemen, My Name is Paul Heyman," will include a two hour documentary.
The full DVD has a runtime of 7 hours and 16 minutes, with Blu-ray content clocking in at just under 1 hour and 30 minutes, making the total runtime of the Blu-ray 8 hours and 43 minutes. The set has a TV-14 rating, and will be released in August.
This will be outstanding.

Outstanding.
The WWE Talent Relations department sent out letters this week to former contracted talents and referees to offer them financial planning assistance in a number of ways.
WWE is now offering, free of charge, financial planning and debt assistance services through a financial firm. Anyone who was ever under contract to WWE is able to receive the assistance.
WWE is also offering a $5,000 per semester scholarship to any former contracted talents who are looking to further their college education. Talents must enroll by August 1st to be eligible for the fall 2014 semester scholarship and must provide proof of enrollment to WWE.

Money in the Bank will be for the title.
Cesaro and Rollins will both be on the ladder and each will grab a belt, thus separating the championships again.

I'd rather have Bryan out for the 6-8 months & rehab a long time than to rush him back. No one wants to see Bryan/Kane in a stretcher match. It's unfortunate that it's happening to Bryan at the biggest time in his career, but it's his health, if WWE had any brains, they'd keep him off TV & let him rehab. When he comes back the YES YES YES chants will still be there. I'd have him forefit the title. Don't know what they'll do about Hippie Bella though.
Have the MITB be for the title. I'd leave Reigns & Ambrose out of it, milk the hell out of the beat down, have them get beaten down again to put them out for a few weeks. Have Rollins & Orton be in the MITB. Have them return & Reigns takes out Orton & Ambrose costs Rollins the title. Build off that.
Unfortunately I have no idea who they'd make champion. I have a bad feeling Cena (just because he's their fall back option), but HHH is all about shocking people, put the title on Cesaro & have Lesnar come back at Summerslam and want the title & Heyman is torn between who to corner. Reigns/Rollins/Ambrose/Orton/HHH doesn't need the World title in their feud. Kane needs to stay the fuck away from all of this too.

Think about what the dude went through immediately after his wedding. Dad passes away, neck injury, and even the Make-a-Wish kid. Imagine the comeback. You do vignettes showing the highest of highs, to the lowest of lows. That's a compelling story. That's a Hunter at MSG after the quad injury type of return. It could be the biggest thing ever. You can easily find something for Hippie Bella while he's gone. Put her in an angle with Ziggler and have them travel together. |

Have Bryan completely disappear after MiTB. Nothing until Rumble. No videos. No anything. No mention.
I think Rumble is in Philadelphia.
That surprise pop when he returns will be immense.

WWE is planning to include Sting in two upcoming projects, pointing to an official working relationship for the first time in Sting's career.
WWE is planning to release a DVD on Sting's career in September, reports WrestlingDVDNews.com. The DVD will begin with Sting's Mid-South career through to the final WCW Nitro episode in 2001.
WWE is also tentatively planning to include Sting's likeness in the "WWE 2K15" video game due out later this year

WWE is also tentatively planning to include Sting's likeness in the "WWE 2K15" video game due out later this year That's interesting because I was just thinking of ways to work him into some sort of scenario. The timing of that DVD release is even more interesting. I can't tell where anything is going now but I have two SummerSlam scenarios: 1. Triple vs Reigns Triple wins the match after some shenanigans by Orton & Rollins. A beatdown of Reigns then ensues. Ambrose comes out for the save but the numbers game catches up quickly. Reigns/Ambrose are getting destroyed. The lights go out. They come back on. Crow Sting clears the ring with his trusty Louisville slugger. ***So at this point, you've essentially opened the door to a HHH/Reigns Mania match, HHH/Sting Mania match, or possibly other combinations*** Anywho, have Sting basically disappear again but every now and then just have him up in the rafters doing the Crow thing. Not joining The Shield or anything like that but he'd be playing the same role that he did when the evil NWO was taking over and dominating everything. It's no different than what the Authority is doing (or attempting to do). Triple H would have such a fit over this. I think the TV could be gold. or 2. Have another 6 man at SummerSlam with Sting being the "Mystery 3rd partner" for The Shield. (And once again, only for that night. I wouldn't want him joining The Shield) Either way, I bet they'd sell a lot more of those DVD's!! |

You guys don't think he'd be capable of one good match with Undertaker if both guys were healthy and rested next year? I do.

I'm torn from two sides. Ouch. I actually love the first KS option. Sting sees injustice, blah blah. It would be a holy shit moment for the ages. They could certainly introduce the crowd to Sting, and sell DVD's/WWENETWORK FUCK YOU. But they aren't putting him in the rafters. I'm not making a joke.
It's a different day. Takes away from it. Also, as Jackref and Kesha stated, it's a sixteen year old gimmick, portrayed by a fifty something dude. I think the crowd might fall flat as well. We'd get it. WWE crowds might want to know what's going on. But I proposed a storyline months ago where Sting is introduced properly, rarely used, and has an old balls match with Taker at Mania that would blow the joint up. It's all up to Vince and Paul.

I'm not dying to see Sting or anything but I do think he/they/someone would want him to have at least one match in the E.
I think he wanted it to be Undertaker, though I fear that ship has sailed. Still not really buying all the concussion/hospital talk regarding Taker after Mania. I think he was/is just old.
Which kind of leaves me with Sting/Triple.

It should be noted that Chris Jericho and Fozzy have absolutely no tour dates lined up as of now.  On a different note, by the time Wrestlemania rolls around, who would be most ready to capture a World Title at that point? 1. Bray 2. Reigns 3. Cesaro 4. Rollins 5. Ambrose 6. Rusev |
