I'm glad the "Yes!" chants won out. It's so much more fun to say (and to hear the crowd do) than that annoying ass "What?" shit. If you're not Stone Cold, you don't need to be saying it! | |

Mania was average until Taker faced Triple H
![]() PRAISE ... Steve Austin reckons The Undertaker's match with Triple H saved Wrestlemania
Published: 19th April 2012
STEVE AUSTIN reckons The Undertaker's Wrestlemania showdown against Triple H saved the event from being a flop.
Six-time WWE world champion Austin told SunSport: “‘I don’t watch all the WWE PPV events these days, but WrestleMania is always a must see.
"The Undertaker and Triple H match made it special. Going into it, I thought how will they better last year? How do you follow something like that?
“But they did. It was at about the 8-10 minute mark when I saw them dig beyond the solid work they had done and pull out all of the stops.
"Shawn Michaels was a real benefit there too. He was perfect in his referee role.
“I believe the match they had was off the charts. If it hadn’t been for it, the event would have failed. It was very average until then.”
Stone Cold added: “I felt bad for Daniel Bryan, as his match with Sheamus was so short and I really wanted him to get the chance to shine.
“He is a great kid and he can work, you just want to see him work and he didn’t get that chance there.
"I hope they use him better down the line as there aren’t a lot of guys that truly work like he does.
“Daniel does need some polishing on his promos, but then so do a lot of the guys there.
“There are a few prime spots for main eventers now and the WWE need to push some guys into them.
“They have Brock Lesnar back and he is a real monster, he also has his UFC success behind him too.
"He is right in at main event level. You have Cena there too and then they have very limited opponents. The job now is to move people to that position.”
Austin himself has been rumoured to return to the main event position for a one-off match, possibly against CM Punk at next year’s WrestleMania.
And although long-retired from in-ring action, Austin, 47, has hinted at returns in the past and enjoyed a playful war of words with Punk on Twitter.
He told us: “Maybe Punk’s not the guy to go against. He needs to pick up his intensity. We’ll have to see what I do, I’m happy now doing what I am.
“In a perfect world, where I could step back into the ring for one last match I would be willing to have that discussion with management.
“I do miss the business and working a live crowd, going out there and wrestling your hearts out.
"I’m still in contact with a few of the guys. I speak to Kevin Nash the most, Nash and I talk about once a week.
“I also keep in contact with Jericho, Punk and Cena, but not as often. I’m not a big phone or email guy and they are always on the road or doing their thing.”
Away from the ring, Austin is enjoying his new career as an action star with a string of movies under his belt.
His latest DVD/Blu-ray release is Recoil and sees him playing a man avenging the death of his wife and child. It’s a thirst for justice that the star sympathises with.
He said: “Recoil is certainly more violent and gritty than my previous movies. My character here is in a very dark place.
“I’m an eye for an eye kind of guy and I feel the justice system, at least here In the US, is too easy on guys who commit violent crimes.
“But I'm through with movies where my family die and I’m in a dark place.
“I want to move away from this type of role and get to exercise a personality.
"I’m working on a few things right now, so maybe you’ll see me doing comedy next — who knows?" | |

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson talks 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation': 'This one is much different'
![]() Does your movie franchise require a fresh face and additional biceps poundage? Then the man to call is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The wrestler-turned-actor got his big-screen breakthrough in the 2001 sequel The Mummy Returns and more recently has spruced up both the Fast and Furious and Journey to the Center of the Earth series.
Now Johnson has joined the Joes in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the follow-up to Paramount’s 2009 G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, which earned $300 million worldwide and received — to put matters kindly — mixed reviews. The actor’s addition to the cast isn’t the only change to the franchise: Bruce Willis joins the cast and director Jon M. Chu (Step Up 2, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never), replaces G.I. Joe helmer Stephen Sommers. Meanwhile, judging by the film’s trailer, Cobra star Channing Tatum plays a smaller part this time around.
Below, Mr. The Rock talks about G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which opens June 29, and his penchant for playing action heroes who like to crack eggs as well as skulls.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What can you tell us about G.I. Joe: Retaliation?
Franchises are often “rebooted” after three or four movies. Did the studio talk about why they wanted to do so after just one?
Can you give us some idea about the plot?
What can you say about your character, Roadblock?
It took me a couple of seconds, but yes.
Who does Bruce Willis play?
I believe Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played one of the villains in the first movie, isn’t in Retaliation. Can you say who, if anyone, has replaced him in the role?
Have you still not seen the first one?
Channing Tatum returns from the first one, as does Jonathan Pryce. So there are some plot connections between The Rise of Cobra and Retaliation?
Is it the Joes who are retaliating?
John M. Chu directed the movie. What was he like as a collaborator?
I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I always think of Justin Bieber and The Rock in the same sentence.
Where did you shoot the movie?
I believe Roadblock is also something of a chef — like your character in The Rundown. Are you a good cook yourself?
What’s your signature dish?
Would you be up for making another G.I. Joe?

Q. As well as TNA you have also enjoyed success in Ring of Honor and have been in the ring with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan - what was it like wrestling both of those guys?
Q. What do you make of the current state of ROH?
Q. Both TNA and ROH are celebrating ten years this year, but how far behind is ROH from TNA?
Q. You've had many great matches, is there anyone that you would like to get in the ring with?
Q. You are currently one of the hottest stars in TNA, what do you make of the crowd reaction you are getting?
Q. TNA and Vince Russo recently parted company, what did you make of Vince?
Q. Are you looking forward to the Lockdown PPV? And what can fans expect? | |

While Beth Phoenix appeared to be legitimately injured on last night's RAW Supershow, the plan for her to drop the Divas Title to Nikki Bella goes back a few weeks.
The idea was to get the Divas Title off of Beth Phoenix so Kharma can get the belt without facing Phoenix first. The plan as of a few days ago was for Nikki to win the title, likely at Extreme Rules, and then get destroyed by Kharma the next night on RAW. Obviously plans were moved up and the title change happened on RAW last night. Kharma destroying Nikki Bella for the Divas Title would have brought her back into the storylines as a dominant force and would have ended the Kharma-Bella storyline that began last year.
Even though Nikki won the title last night, PWInsider reports that nothing new has been said about The Bella Twins leaving WWE at the end of this month. It's still possible that they came to terms on a new deal but that's not the word going around.

Thursday Blog..Tampa/FCW...25% OFF Sale on JR'S at WWEShop.com!!Thu, 04/26/2012 - 10:05am — J.R.
Beautiful day in Tampa! Here's q quick blog on a super, busy day.
FCW records three, one hour TV shows tonight at 7. I expect all three shows to feature some outstanding main events. For these kids, every match in every segment is imperative. Love the sense of urgency that these broadcasts produce for young talents looking to earn the opportunity to move up to WWE.
These kids are being trained well by some dedicated individuals. I like this group as I feel their potential is obvious. However, as I've always said, potential won't buy the groceries forever. The time is now for many talented grapplers.
Seems as if many fans are giving John Cena little chance of defeating returning beast Brock Lesnar this Sunday on PPV at Extreme Rules. I'm NOT of that belief. Whether it be 'ring rust', Brock's overconfidence or Cena's competitive spirit, I still feel this match is too close for me to predict.
Punk vs Jericho will be masterful but I sense Sheamus vs Bryan may steal the PPV w/ potentially three falls to work with.
Simply as a fan, Extreme Rules is going to be must see for me Sunday night on PPV.
Wweshop.com, http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss is offering a whopping 25% OFF purchases over $50 for a limited time. That savings certainly eases shipping costs.
I've updated the Q&A's here on the site so check them out.
WWE's alliance with You Tube is awesome. I'm there daily. Great current and vintage content. Been watching many Dick Beyer aka the Destroyer All Japan bouts this week at FCW. great learning tools w/o fail. What's old is new again from one of the great masters of our business.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Buff Bagwell who was recently involved in a serious car accident. Keep Buff in your prayers on his long road to recovery.
Gonna miss one of my favorite events, the NFL Draft, tonight to be at the FCW TV tapings. Although I'm a Draft freak, I'm grateful and excited to be here in Tampa. Hopefully I can sit in on a match or two.
Foodie idea....mix low fat sour cream or ranch dressing w/ JR's Original BBQ Sauce to crest a GREAT dipping sauce for wings & veggies. Mix to taste. Awesome.
Hope these newly drafted NFL players do through financial planning...same thing I preach to wrestlers.
Pulling for my OKC Thunder in NBA playoffs but San Antonio in the west is hot at the moment.
Don't forget to hit the BIG SALE NOW at http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss ASAP as the great savings won't last forever. It's grilling time!
