Finished "The History of the WWE" DVD Documentary today. Pretty good. But nothing new here, really.

Well, for the most part. There was a bit of new stuff about the Vince McMahon Sr. era of the WWWF, when the territories were in control. So if you're into the history of that kind of stuff, check this out.

Otherwise, save you're money. You pretty much get what's in here, from "The History of the WWE Championship" DVD Documentary.

(Other than Vince McMahon, of course.)
Historically speaking I think Ted Turner , but around today I guess no one. Maybe HHH?

and I was in attendance for this one,

Wish I was there for something like that, would have been amazing. And I definelty would be hitting the bar after seeing that, and probably would end in fight being that fired up, lol. But then I would have been 13 years old, so I guess not.

The Mankind match episode is on there, there's a big picture on it on the inner case. I don't think the beer truck episode is, though. This thing spans from 1993 to 2013. So they had to represent all the different eras evenly.
So I'm wrong, I'm watching the beer truck episode right now, it's on there. They just don't list that scene on the DVD case (but they do list other non-match scenes).

Killer Bray Wyatt promo, and Bryan's face of the company comment was funny (real face = Bryan, fake corporate face = Cena). Bray Wyatt's promos are utterly amazing. If Taker or Foley were younger and still active wrestlers, they'd do some amazing programs with Wyatt. The guy's incredible. It's just a shame they can't book him right or find a good storyline for him. There is no more compelling heel in all of the WWE right now

I was comparing prices for WWE: Raw the Beginning DVD online and came across this on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Raw-The-Beginni ... 5403dd7c07

The description for it reads:
Detailed item info

A 13-year-old girl (played by THE GOLDEN COMPASS' Dakota Blue Richards) discovers that she is the only hope for banishing an ancient curse from a magical kingdom in director Gabor Csupo's adaptation of author Elizabeth Goudge's 1946 children's book THE LITTLE WHITE HORSE. Ioan Gruffudd, Tim Curry, and Juliet Stevenson co-star in a film penned by screenwriting partners Graham Alborough and Lucy Shuttleworth.
WTF?

So I waited to watch Genesis until I could watch both parts at once. I'm watching it right now.

And to tell the truth, as down on TNA as I've been lately, that opening with Sting coming out and calling out the boys from the back into the ring, actually got me excited.

Wow! Talk about a hostile crowd!

I'm watching Orton and Cena have a Rumble title match and the crowd is doing Daniel Bryan chants and "You both suck" chants at Cena and Orton

Face it WWE. You have a new Steve Austin whether you like it or not. It's been hilarious listening to the announcers try to explain the Daniel Bryan chants

Wow. I think I heard this is awful chants. The crowd is shitting all over this Orton/Cena match. This is the same crowd that popped like crazy for the Bryan/Bray Wyatt match tonight. I think I even heard we want divas chants, random Y2J chants and more and more Daniel Bryan chants

This crowd is NOT happy. They pretty much booed every top face not named Bryan in the company tonight. Sheamus, Batista, Cena all got booed.

We got to the final four of the Rumble and people were booing, then doing Daniel Bryan chants, then doing no chants at every thing happening in the ring.

Daniel Bryan is on a whole other stratosphere than every guy in the company right now. Anyone who doesn't see that at this point is blind. Batista one the Rumble and got booed by the entire crowd

Match of the night: Bryan vs Wyatt

its impossible they are trying to make money of a star created in the late 80's or early 90's . Sting was the face of WCW back in '92 maybe...
