Hulk Hogan to Bully Ray Last Week on Impact: "Not only are you gonna have a match next week, but you also have a title match this week against this opponent, brother:"

Sting comes running down the ramp.

Less than two minutes later, with Sting jumping at Bully Ray who is against the crowd guard-rails...the show ends.

WTF?!

We barely see Sting wrestle anymore, and it's World Heavyweight Title Match at that! And they can't plan enough T.V. time to give us the match?! SOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!

They'd end it in the middle of some dramatic moment, or when the n.W.o. was ganging up on someone, or something similar. But they didn't end in the middle of matches, World Heavyweight Title matches.

In fact, I remember that one particular PPV ran over, and the PPV provider didn't give WCW the extra time, and fans that paid for that PPV were pissed. It's pointed to in the history of WCW DVDs WWE put out. Because of that infamous event, I'm pretty sure WCW made sure it didn't happen again.

I attended a TNA house show last weekend at the Shenandoah County Fair. They had a meet and greet with some of the roster that was there before the show, which included Christopher Daniels and Kazarian. And, I got to meet Mickie James at the merchandise area, who was signing autographs. You could also get a picture with her, but that was only if you paid $10 to buy her CD, which I did.

The show itself was pretty good too. For a small county fair, it drew a pretty big and loud crowd.

In light of the recent news of Jim Ross's retirement (or firing depending on who you believe), I got a kick out of all the Jim Ross and WWF references in this boss fight from Puppeteer



Check this game out if you like platformers

It still amazes me that we're seeing the McMahon-Helmsley era all over again. If you'd have told me that like a year ago I'd be skeptical. Everything old is new again.

Speaking of which, looks like Daniel Bryan got Jerichoed of his title. Deja vu

If only we had Stone Cold around still to fight the regime.

The McMahon-Helmsley era was more about Mankind and Rock. And he screwed over every one except DX so pretty much every one was against him, so it wasn't really a one man show as much as Austin vs Vince McMahon
My WTB thread (Sega CD/Saturn games)
Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box

When it was JUST Steph and HHH, yeah. But there was a time right before that when Shane and Vince were with HHH in The Corporation, too. And during that time they were still trying to stick it to Austin.
