I heard. Freaking lame. Booker T needs to be in the ring. And the slow, lumbering, injury-prone Nash is gonna be the guy still wrestling? :roll: Who thought that was a good idea? Why wouldn't you reverse their roles?
i hope Booker T doesn't speak with the "King Booka" accent.. :roll:

Yeah, that picture is sick as hell. I'm a huge WCW and Sting fan. So much so I used that image for my avatar at the wrestling forum that I frequent.

Oh god, I hated the Boogeyman

Anyway, I like the last Kane and Taker feud simply because it has been a long time since any feud made Kane look like the monster he supposedly is. The guy took Taker's power, became world champion and buried Taker alive. That is a LOT more than Kane has accomplished in a LONG time. I'm just sad that Edge came along and pretty much knocked Kane back down to upper midcard land. Unlike Jericho, who clawed his way out of that same spot and became a serious main eventer, I am afraid the WWE may not do anything truly awesome with Kane again for a long time

I would love to see Booker wrestle, but I could see him doing commentary. His King Booker gimmick was hilarious to me because I loved the way he would drop the accent whenever he got angry or scared. One moment he's all cultured and proper, than the next moment he's talking like an angry black guy from the ghetto. I just always would bust out laughing when he did that. If he becomes a commentator, I wouldn't count him out as a wrestler. Just look at what they have been doing with both C.M. Punk and Jerry Lawler.

I'm going to agree that Michaels retired too early, but I can see why. He wants to go out in his prime and while he is still relatively healthy. Also, he got to retire on his own terms. The guy tied up every loose end. Another DX run, burying the hatchet with Bret, a feud with Taker that fans had been begging for for quite some time and one final, awesome Mania match. I miss him though and I think he can still go, but I think he means it when he says he is retired, unlike SOME people(looking at you Flair and Foley)

I guess Nash signed a Legend contract, whatever that is, but I don't think that means he's going be wrestling, at least not full time. If he was going to, I think he would of been on RAW this past week. I'm guessing he's going to do appearances and promotions for the company and like I said earlier in the thread maybe we'll see him going into the HOF with HBK which would be fitting.

Wait so Sting is facing the Undertaker? I really haven't been paying attention to WWE in awhile. That would be a good match. Is Sting signed just for Wrestlemania or actually regularly competing in the WWE? Yes, Sting & HBK would have been cool to see and Triple H. I think he may have wrestled against Steve Austin when they both were in WCW but I would have to look that one up. There could have been some GREAT matches had Sting ever wrestled for McMahon back in the day. I always wondered what kept Sting away from the WWF/E. I know when he began practicing Christianity he didn't want to associate with the inappropriate image that the WWE Attitude era was using at the time (which is crap because WCW & TNA followed suit with that image while he wrestled for them both). Other than that I don't know what would have stopped him even before that era. Money talks I guess. :?

Nice to know Buff has at least two fans, you and Judy Bagwell.
