    they have been hanging out alot over the last few months with Total Divas, so could have formed a friendship. Hell I met Eva for a few minutes at the partners reception at mania and i realised she is nothing like the character she portrays on either show, she is actually a real sweetheart! so it is not beyond the realms of possibility!

    Wait, you mean they're just acting and it's all fake?

    :eek:

    As it appears sting has signed (or is all but signed) id hate to see taker and sting. Ive only been half keeping up with sting and what he was doing in TNA but the impression seems to be he can't have a good match now. And taker looked in bits at mania. I don't think it was all him selling either. I know he was hurt but still he just seems done.

    In front of the right crowd with the right opponent Sting can still have a hell of a match. See his match vs. Austin Aries last year for reference. The man moves remarkably well for 55.

    Really ? Jesus he doesn't look it.

    Undertaker has always needed to be carried to a good match.

    Make a list of all his best matches and you will find he was in the ring with a better worker: Foley, Bret, Shawn, Angle, Trips and Edge.

    Wrestlemania 23-Him vs Batista. Batista was a good wrestler but definitely not a ring general!

    I'll give you that one. His matches with Batista in 2007 were very good.

    That's the thing. He does move great for his age in fairness to him. At 55 he moves 10 times better than Hogan did when he came back in 2002. He was around 48/49 at the time. As Ive said I know it's unpopular but I would love to see him have a match in the WWE.

    Didn't he say he'd shave his beard when he won the title?

    Even if your list is correct (which I don't think it is) being in a match with a better worker doesn't necessarily mean that worker has to "carry" you.

    I would say in most cases, having to be carried will result in a poorer match - A truly great match will only result in one because both participants work together.

    RUMOUR :pac:
    Is Rosa Mendes dating WWE backstage authority Michael Hayes?

    During a recent episode of MLW Radio, the hosts implied that the veteran WWE Diva is indeed involved in a relationship with the 55-year-old eccentric retired wrestler.

    After show host and former WWE creative writer Court Bauer said that the finish to the Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H match at WrestleMania XXX was reminiscent of Hayes’ past creative decisions for WWE, fellow co-host Mister Saint Laurent asked, “What was his girlfriend dressed as in that Divas match?” — Mendes was among the fourteen participants in The Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational won by AJ Lee. Konnan then asked, “Which one’s his girlfriend?” Laurent replied Mendes. Konnan noted that he heard from within WWE that Hayes was going on about her dyed blonde locks to co-workers, and compared her look to that of 1950s and 1960s sex symbol Marilyn Monroe.

    The 34-year-old has been linked to Hayes in the past. In October, the Fabulous Freebird founder was suspended by WWE for being spotted drinking with Mendes shortly after she had completed a rehabilitation program. The prior April, she was dismissed from WWE’s tour of Europe for what was cited by the sports-entertainment organization to online wrestling news outlets as “personal reasons”, and then entered rehab. WWE framed Hayes’ absence to the wrestling media as: “Michael is taking a leave of absence for personal reasons.”

    Hayes drinking with Mendes was reported by Bauer on MLW Radio, who stated: “Because of this lapse in judgment, he was told he’d be basically suspended from school for a few weeks. He’s not going anywhere; he’s still in the company. He’s still very much involved, so it’s not the end of Michael Hayes.”

    Rumors of Mendes having a physical relationship with Hayes actually date back to 2011. A few months after Chris Masters was released from WWE, he posted a blind item on his Twitter account alleging that a female member of the SmackDown roster maintains sexual relations with Hayes in order to keep her job.

    “So if I had to tell you one smackdown diva who gave freebird hayes an “Oral” agreement to keep her job, who’d you guess?” Masters wrote on October 30, 2011.

    Many wrestling fans online believed the individual to be Mendes considering her lack of worth to the company after several years of gainful employment.

    Similar allegations regarding sexual politics in the WWE locker room have been made in recent years as former Diva performer Taryn Terrell (a/k/a Tiffany) remarked in December 2010 that she would not trade sexual favors with individuals in positions of power in order to maintain employment with the sports-entertainment organization.

    “No…if I have to sleep with people in power to keep or continue progressing in my job, I’d rather be poor,” she wrote on Twitter in response to a specific question about whether she would return to WWE.

    Jack Swagger briefly won the Intercontinental Title from Big E during last night's live event in Hidalgo, TX. The match was restarted, however, by GM Brad Maddox, after it was discovered that Big E's leg was under the ropes during the three count.


    WWE.com is noting Nikki Bella, Cameron, Naomi, Natalya, Eva Marie, John Cena, Tyson Kidd, Jimmy Uso and Cesaro were in attendance for Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella's wedding at the L'Auberge de Sedona resort and spa in Sedona, Arizona on Friday.
    It's also being said WWE NXT trainer Sara Del Rey was in attendance for the wedding as well, as she is rumored to be currently dating Cesaro. Bryan and Cesaro have been friends for years dating back to their ROH days.

    That is seriously disturbing.

    No idea why Rosa would have to do that. She always had enough sass about her to be a worthwhile valet. No need to be sleeping around with creeps like Hayes.

    Because she is crap at everything relating to wrestling seems a good reason.

    Her little dance with Primo and Epico was pretty agreeable as well having a brief skipping rope gimmick.

    And this segment:

    I dunno.

    As far as I know he was head of Smackdown creative during that great Punk/Hardy feud.

    He comes across as quite boorish but he seems to have a great mind for the business.

    Make a list of all his best matches and you will find he was in the ring with a better worker: Foley, Bret, Shawn, Angle, Trips and Edge.

    He definitely brought the best out of those guys though. Shawn had a lot of great matches but I'd say his Bad Blood 1997 and WrestleMania 25 matches against Undertaker are the best of Michaels career. The WM26 one might even be third. Triple H, CM Punk and Mick Foley also had some of the best matches of their career against him.

    He had some awful matches against guys worse than him, I'll give you that. But to be fair that his mostly early in his career when he was learning and he was restricted in what he could do in the ring with his gimmick in the early days (no-selling, moving slowly, one-sided matches, etc).

    Court Bauer mentioned on MLW radio that friends of his working in WWE said that they've noticed Vince McMahon might be having some memory problems. I'm sure I've read something like this before.

    Never understood them either. Even in the early days of the internet when the Kenan and Kel are dead rumours did the rounds, you could find out the truth within minutes. If anything it just highlights how gullible some people are and how they believe anything they're told.

    Maybe stretching "News", but the Drogheda Leader (the free newspaper in town) has a headline this week of "The Ultimate Warrior".

    Right, it's linked to a different story about a little girl who got an award in America, but the timing of it certainly seems very coincidental. Wondering if someone wanted to give a subtle shout-out :pac:
