Here's a report from Hulk Hogan Appreciation Night in MSG. I was hoping for another cameo or two (Paul Orndorff? Roddy Piper?), but no complaints about what they did for Hogan.
ESPN's piece on the Von Erichs is now online. Theirs is a story really worth telling.
Tommy Dreamer talked about a number of topics:
- Of course Dreamer lost! He always loses!
- Get a tripod or something, guys. Jesus.
- Cool to hear the process behind booking a show.
- What about Rey Mysterio at HOH8? I don't know if Dreamer has that kind of pull or money.
- Is anyone else shocked he made a reference to McDonald's?
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Bo Dallas, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens will be working one set of main roster tours in Europe after WrestleMania, while Adrian Neville and Finn Balor are booked for the other set. I hope all those NXT names really excel.
Adrian Neville and Tyler Breeze now have WWE action figures. That's awesome! I can't wait to see one for Balor in face paint.
Vince Russo is dissociating himself from pyroballyhoo.com, where he had been posting his content. According to him, the password for that and his Twitter account have been changed and he can't access it anymore. Not sure what's going on there, but I hope the people who paid to get content from him aren't "worked" into paying for someone who isn't him.
THE REIGNING, DEFENDING HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD BBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK
LLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNNNNAAAAAARRRR appeared at UFC's most recent event. That should get people talking about his post-WM31 plans.
Bo Dallas lost to both Zack Ryder and Jack Swagger at live events this weekend. I wish we would have seen him return at the Rumble.
On the other set of live events, Sin Cara beat Tyler Breeze while Sasha Banks was on the losing end of a six-Diva tag. I hope we see both Breeze and Banks on the main roster in 2015. They're good, just not good enough QUITE yet.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm not sold on it. As was said, it could take a lot of time to set up and feels overly complicated/gimmicky. I'd rather see something where you could eliminate some members by pinfall or submission to make it easier to be the last one standing, which is a bit of a take on the King of the Mountain match.
2. I think I could live with that. I'd rather see Rusev's first loss be to someone like Roman Reigns in the WWE Title picture, though.
3. I'm OK with them going in for the same reasons. As long as other awesome tag teams and the likes of Koloff go in at some point, I think the points raised here are pretty much moot.
4. Disagree. The three of them just collided in the Royal Rumble and have had singles matches with each other, too. If Wyatt wins at Mania, his lost followers returning to the Family as something like Taker's Druids (or the Acolytes in the Minstry days) could work, but I don't think they should put them all back together "just because" after there was so much time put into the group splitting up.
5. WWE would be right to assume that! I wouldn't mind a refreshed and retooled Joe coming to WWE later in the year after raising his profile on the indie scene, but they shouldn't rush it. No way should he get a big match at Mania one month into a company he's never worked for (outside a squash match or two before his TNA days).
More wrestling tomorrow.
