Wow. That actually happened. Tapped out with a broken arm

I think the "you tapped out" chants were louder in the arena. I picked up on it watching live but thought it was just a smaller group.

Classy guy

One of my favorite tweets from last night was "We'd like to wish Mr. Durst the best in his future endeavors"

I read Durst got booed out of the building too.

Yeah, that's not a good idea in a PG friendly WWE. Maybe you can do that at some heavy metal concert but not on a WWE pay per view. I don't think even Steve Austin could get away with that now. It was such a dumb thing for Fred Durst to do

Kudos to WWE, I think they actually managed to salvage Lesnar's character. Granted, they did some permanent long term damage that can't be undone prior to his Summerslam match, but a submission victory over Triple H and the excellent follow up on Raw makes him a heel people can take seriously again. Heyman is so damn good on the mic too. He really did a great job putting Brock's victory over. I could still see a Lesnar/Taker Mania match if they continue to build him up.

Lesnar/Taker, in my opinion, is best left in 2002. Especially with Lesnar's contract running out and even worse (for him) - a NY smarky venue. There wouldn't be any drama and Taker would be another year older. Just feels disastrous (but I do think they'll do it).

I'm not too keen on it myself, but I hear people keep talking about it all the time like it's set in stone that it's gonna happen

Oh noes! He flipped the bird! What ever are we gonna do?! Please.

He got escorted out for flipping off the camera. That's f-ing ridiculous!

[Gamerforlife]

I've never really understood this whole thing with flipping the middle finger to the camera or to the fans. Is that supposed to be cool? I was always under the impression that flipping someone the bird meant you were telling them to f*** off. Seems stupid to me, it's not something I would ever do

If it's some rock or metal thing, he'd have been better off throwing up the devil horns

Honestly, I want Taker to just hang it up. His streak should just stay in place. You'd need an up and coming young guy that could really be a hulk hogan to his andre the giant as it were.

Lesnar is a merc at the end of the day, letting him have something like that would be beyond disgraceful.
