Lex is still alive. But he lost almost all of his muscles.

He had a really bad stroke back in 2007 I believe and he was nearly paralyzed for some time

He blamed himself for Miss Elizabeth's death too. He's had it rough for the past couple of years

I wonder if anyone has seen Lex lately...

Then Vince turned to soft porn to gain viewership, and it worked.

As I saw it, the WWF was never far from soft-porn from the very start, lol. Never knew, before I started watching WWF, that there were so many "creative" ways to pin a guy to the mat, lol.

You know, there's rumors about how Pat Patterson's recruiting wrestlers back in the 80s......namely Virgil.....

He had appeared in TNA back in 2004 if I remember correctly and that was his last wrestling tv appearance. He and Sting (his best friend) had a really bad falling out but they've reconciled in the past few years

Back in the day, Luger, Sting, and The Steiners used to hang tough

I remembered that period. That was the dream team back then. They were mainly my reasons to watch WCW.

I notice one thing: LOTS of wrestlers like to tag on each other's tights and shorts. You'll get a good look at someone's ass crack before they pin 'em lol

Say what we will about Hulk & Warrior being all power and no technical moves whatsoever. But I remember when Wrestlemania 6 was huge.

don't worry, there's alot we can talk about

like the time Sunny and Chris Candido bought coke from Ahmed Johnson only to to result in Sunny sleeping with Ahmed, getting the coke but instead of doing it with Candido, she went to Shawn Michaels, did it with him and slept with him too

30 pages wouldn't be enough to get it all in, lol. Whoa!!

Has anyone know what is going on with Stone Cold Steve Austin. The last I've heard he was arrested for domestic dispute. He was married to another wrestler Debra. The Rock supposed to have a new movie out, if I'm correct.

see, there you go...

Missy Hyatt did a shoot interview and she said ALOT, and for a chick who slept with so many of the NWA locker room back in the 80s, she knows what she's talking about

Speaking of HHH and Chyna...anyone remember this?

It was King of the Ring 98?--the one when Taker threw Foley off the top of the cell--and the Rock was having a match. HHH and Chyna came to ringside during and joined the commentators. Chyna sat with the Spanish announce team and HHH sat with JR and the King. They put the camera on Chyna as she spoke Spanish leading to (paraphrased)...

JR: I didnt know Chyna was bilingual. Are you bilingual as well, HHH?

HHH: I may be many things bi, but lingual aint one of them. (LOOOONG AWKWARD PAUSE) Wait...did I mean to say that?

JR: I dont think so but we're live nonetheless.

HILARIOUS!

WOW! Yeah let's talk about the wrestlers who got high off that toot!

Sometimes. For a company that's overflowing with talent, they put the crap on display like Abyss, Ink Inc, and Orlando Jordan

and does the wrestling world STILL need Hulk Hogan?

That's what I said, TNA can overtake WWE but Hulk's nearly 60-year-old ass is in it? Ain't like he can get away with that shit like Ric Flair! He ain't got it like Ric.

And to boot, his wife left him for a younger man. His ego is already bruised

- Former WWE creative team member John Piermarini has started a blog (http://wrestlingrecall.blogspot.com/) in which he has released a ton of scoops regarding things that occured in the company during the two years he was employed. The blog has since been pulled (the Website does say it will be back soon) but we have managed to retain some of the things Piermarini said. Below is an excerpt regarding the mindset of Vince McMahon on Daniel Bryan and John Morrison:

"Vince’s philosophy on Daniel Bryan is he isn’t an ass kicker but he can beat you because he can capitalize on your mistakes. In this instance, it works. On the other hand Vince thinks John Morrison can’t kick anyone’s ass in a real fight therefore he can’t be a top babyface. Morrison has the chance to take the ball and run with it, but he is running uphill."

Daniel Bryan is the shit! and Morrison is quite possibly the next Shawn Michaels if the people in the back decide to push him....but I guess Vince is more confident in no talents like Otunga, Heath Slater, and Ziggler

Former WWE talent Sean Waltman (a/k/a X-Pac) discussed reaching rock bottom when he attempted to commit suicide in his hotel apartment in Mexico City.

"I was in Mexico for three years. When I was there, things got really bad," Waltman recalled to the Miami Herald.

"I got in a heated argument that turned into physicality with my girlfriend [Alicia Webb]. I ended up striking her back. I always told myself that I would die before I would hit a woman. So when I did that, I was overcome with guilt and shame. I had no tools to handle it. The only thing I could think of was take a whole bottle of Valium or what was left of the bottle. It was probably around 400 milligrams of Valium.

"I hung myself from the roof of my apartment. It was the darkest moment of my life, or one of them, to get me to do that. It was a lot of build up that I didn’t know how to deal with."

Webb, known to wrestling fans as Ryan Shamrock during her time in WWE in 1999, found him.

"I was dead," said Waltman.

"She got me down, which I don't know how she did it. She is like superwoman. I swear. She did CPR and all that. She kept me alive for 45 minutes until the ambulance arrived. Then I was really on life support for three days.

Kevin Nash was there by his side the next day and helped check him into The Menninger Clinic in Houston, Texas, a leading psychiatric hospital. He stayed there for four months, where he conducted some much needed soul searching.

Waltman also discussed his last stint with TNA Wrestling, noting that the main reason he is no longer with the company is because he contracted Hepatitis C. Certain athletic commissions prohibit him from wrestling. He said he would return to the organization, but strictly for a paycheck.

"Then try to last as long as I could before I go %$#$ing crazy because their writing sucks so bad," Waltman said.

"I was on my show, and somebody was talking about it. I told them they dip their pen in $%^& before they write their shows. I have a relationship that is deeper than wrestling in WWE. Honestly, TNA it would strictly be for the paycheck. I really don't feel any emotional equity with those people at this point."

The outspoken wrestler feels that for the organization to succeed, they need to get rid of Vince Russo as a writer.

"I like Vince Russo the person. I love him as a human being. Supposedly to my face, he likes me, too, but they don't want me there because I'm always saying something sucks when it's the #$%^. They would rather bury their head in the sand than do something correct or listen to somebody else's input. Everyone is so defensive there. To me, I don't care whose idea it is. If it's a good idea, then lets do it. I don't care who gets credit for it..."

The former member of the New World Order and D-Generation X also gave his take on WWE's The Nexus faction. He feels the group is more similar to the nWo than DX.

"There would be no DX, if it wasn't for the nWo, in my opinion. It closely resembles the nWo stuff with the mob mentality and the simple looking logo on the shirt. It's kind of like let’s make it look less like nWo while copying it completely.

"I like Wade Barrett a lot. I think he has tons of potential. Just to put a guy like that, who is unproven or have any emotional equity with the fans as heel or babyface, it's hard. It was an effective angle, and they are still getting mileage from it.

"They had to resort to that as a result of having a shallow roster. The people bought into it to a certain extent, but there was never a revelation that was a bigger mastermind until the CM Punk thing. That's better to me, and I see it going in a different direction. I'm not sure if I like it much with all the initiation stuff and guys getting beaten up in the ring. I never liked that. In real life, especially in a street gang, who would do that? Nobody.

"I hated it in the nWo. They only did it in WWE really. They didn't really do it much when we were in WCW. We didn't beat our own guys up. It's retarded. Sorry. Now they have this Mason Ryan guy. I hated that. That's the writers."

Vince McMahon Feels John Morrison Can't Be a Top Babyface By Amish Patel Jan 23, 2011 - 12:57:22 PM

McMahon is really stupid. John Morrison has potential, they're just not letting him reach that ability.

vicki guerero is really funny and one of the highlights of the show .. so is santino ..

personally i like all the romantice relationship storylines .. the wrestling itself on wwe gets pretty boring sometimes .. john morrison has no personality at all but hes a better wrestler than most

tna is better but they have these magic moments and then never capitalize on them .. one example being jay lethal and rick flair .. probably the funniest thing i have ever seen on wrestling and then after we dont even see jay lethal for like 2 months .. wtf?

i didn't like orlando jordan at first .. kinda creeped me out .. but i really like him and eric young .. especially how they are playing up orlando having a crush on eric young .. very risky for a wrestling show .. but honestly as of now .. brilliantly done ..

cm punk rules it .. lay cool is super funny and mcm gen me and the knockouts are all top notch performers ...

i really like when hulk is on tna .. i still get excited .. sorry but i watched wrestling as a kid so i've got a lot of nostalgia attached .. and also didn't watch it for about 20 years so its a sort of revisit of my youth, not a long term obsession

my son always asks me why the guys where womens underwear ... i have to agree .. its time to wear some man shorts .. especially with it being fake and all .. no need to take authenticity to the bikini briefs zone

i dont like the blood on tna but other aspects are much better than wwe ..

wrestling reminds me of the old ritualistic war dances tribes would perform .. and the showbiz factor, improv factor and overall creative writing is really quite good sometimes .. until they hit the repeat button and perform the same funny bit over and over till its dead .. oh well

glad to see some prince fans dig it all tho

Well, when Chyna first came to the WWF (name at the time), she looked very muscular & manly, but then so did Nicole Bass . Remember her? I think those two would have been a helluva wrestling match because they were flipping men like pancakes

One person who WWE didn't utilize and is now coming into his own is Elijah Burke aka The Pope
