I'm sure there is still some bad blood between Hardy and Edge, but I think they've probably somewhat made ammends by now. I don't thunk Vince would risk a guy like Edge by putting him in a match with somebody who may be out to hurt him. I love that Eugene was booed in favor of Angle. Angle deserves so much better. If he has to job to Eugene at Summerslam it would be even worse than Benoit losing to Orlando Jordan last month.

RAW
was awful Monday. The final segment was great,
Shawn Michaels
spoke the truth and it worked really well...as for the rest....i won't even waste my time talking about it.
Seems
Tatanka
hasn't signed a
WWE
deal, they are just in negotiations, well i would tell him unless he gets into shape he has no chance of returning.
Details of
The Ultimate Warrior
DVD
are out:
The Ultimate Warrior ? a household name and icon in sports-entertainment.
A driving guitar beat heralded his explosion to the ring with his signature arm bands and face paint. His intensity was unparalleled. His controversial personality was equally unmatched. Learn about the man and the myth from the people who witnessed his meteoric rise to the WWE Championship in a victory against Hulk Hogan before 67,000 fans at Wrestlemania VI. Hear from the Superstars who worked with the man.
Did he burn out or drop out?
Relive his feuds with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, Hulk Hogan and more. Exclusive interviews with Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff break down the Ultimate Warrior's stints in WWE & WCW. Find out exactly what happened at Summerslam 1991 when The Ultimate Warrior held up the WWE for more money!
DVD Extras:
vs Terry Gibbs - Wrestling Challenge 24/10/87
vs Honky Tonk Man - Intercontinental Championship Match - Summerslam 29/8/88
vs Hulk Hogan - Title vs Title Match - Wrestlemania VI 1/4/90
vs Ravishing Rick Rude - WWE Championship Steel Cage Match - Summerslam 17/8/90
vs Macho King Randy Savage - Retirement Match - Wrestlemania VII 24/3/91
Not many matches as extras. I think that's pretty poor,
The Road Warriors
were shoddy wrestlers but on their
DVD
they put loads (it was double disc though, maybe this one should be). What about
Wrestlemania 12
when he crushed
HHH
mmmm i wonder why that one was left off. What about his short-lived crap in
WCW
like
Hogan
vs.
Warrior
II
from a historical point of view alone those matches should be included. I'll still be picking up the
DVD
though, i am really hoping for an interesting and revealing story, i hope i won't be let-down.

He was in
Hogan
&
Batista
's league as far as in-ring ability, he had to be carried just like them. The gimmick was awesome though i loved it as a kid i was a massive fan and that's why i find this
DVD
package interesting. First mention of this
DVD
many months ago made out it was going to be his greatest matches..
.... that's what i found amusing since he's only had about 3 decent ones in his whole career.
Fun Fact:
He starred in the film
Firepower
in
1994
playing
The Swordsman
.

I was always a Hogan loyalist back then. I know he wasn't a good in ring performer either, but I was...and to some extent still am a Hulkamaniac.

Even though he cannot be bothered make many appearances to further the fued leaving it upto
HBK
to carry things.
The fact that he's a broken-down mess who cannot even have a proper warm-up match with him.
He made a career on 'Show & Personality' just like
HBK
said.
I can understand why people loved him as kids but now he's just a mess, i'm enjoying this feud but my enjoyment has nothing to do with him, his contribution has been pitiful and the match at
Summerslam
is going to be damn short because if it isn't he could quite easily collapse because his body is a wreck. He would have a lot more mobility if he wasn't still on the juice...which he is...trust me

It's been more than a decade since Peterborough wrestling fans heard the phrase "What a rush" blast from the Memorial Centre sound system.
This Monday night (August 15), the phrase that once marked the entrance of the Road Warriors will boom once again as Joe Laurinaitis, better known as Road Warrior Animal, returns to Peterborough.
With him will be his new tag team partner John Heidenreich along with a host of the wrestling's biggest names from the World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) Smackdown show.
Animal says he has seen the business change a lot since he was last in town and yet some things remain the same.
"I've seen it (professional wrestling) change leaps and bounds but I've also seen it come back around again," he says.
"What was hot 10 years ago is hot again today."
A decade ago, he was teamed with Road Warrior Hawk to form what arguably remains the most popular tag team of all-time. The duo enjoyed international success and recognition.
"Hawk and I were called the (Hulk) Hogan of tag teams," he recalls.
Unfortunately Hawk died of an apparent heart attack in late 2003, prompting Animal to take some time away from the business. He returned early last month and teamed up with Heidenreich. The pair have enjoyed immediate success, winning tag team titles on Smackdown and garnering incredible fan support.
"The people have been phenomenal," Animal says of the support shown for the new team.
"Hawk and I had such a history together, I didn't know how they'd react."
Animal and Hawk entered the world of professional wrestling more than 20 years ago after being discovered at a Minnesota restaurant by wrestler and trainer Eddie Sharkey.
Following a brief period spent learning the ropes, the pair named themselves the Road Warriors and began wrestling on the Georgia Championship Wrestling circuit.
The team quickly rose through the ranks of professional wrestling, capturing tag team titles in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and numerous other wrestling promotions around the world.
In 1991, the Road Warriors entered the World Wrestling Federation, known today as WWE, and assumed the name Legion Of Doom. A year later, they captured the WWE tag team championship by defeating the Nasty Boys.
The team left the WWE in the mid-1990s but returned in 1997 to capture their second WWE tag team championship. Unfortunately, their second stay in the WWE was brief. Hawk struggled with addiction problems that hindered his ability to perform and the team left the company in 1998.
The Road Warriors made a surprise return to the WWE in 2003 once Hawk had overcome his addictions.
Although they failed to win the title for a third time, fans welcomed them back with open arms. But that success was short-lived as Hawk died less than six months later.
Animal returned to the WWE and teamed with Heidenreich early this summer. The team defeated MNM for the tag team title during July's Great American Bash pay-per-view. Animal dedicated the match to his former partner Hawk.
Animal and Heidenreich will be defending their tag team title against MNM at the Memorial Centre Monday.

Yeah very true, both were awful in the ring, they dominated a division based on their good gimmick not their wrestling skills since they had fuck all, they stayed around beyond their prime and now
Animal
like
Hogan
has returned, and taken up
TV
time not because of a passion for the business but for promotion and to boost their own egos. With all that said
Animal
seems like a nice guy in interviews, very family orientated. In the ring though for the majority of their careers they were total pricks and they've been honest about it (they were in their
DVD
). One match they were meant to job they decided they did not want to so they got steel chairs and got themselves
DQ'D
....that did not go down well, they also failed to take care of their opponents tossing them about often causing damage to them. To make masters worse he has taken under his wing one of the worst in-ring stars since
Giant Gonzalez
, it's as bad as when
Undertaker
tried to take
Nathan Jones
under his wing from a storyline point of view and in reality
A-Train
. Seems big men seem to like helping along big men who are even worse. Speaking on that subject it reminds me of the stupidity of
King of The Ring 1993
.
Vince
wanted
Hogan
to drop the belt to
Bret Hart
seeing him as the rightful successor and the future of the company,
Hogan
though did not believe he was ready and refused, he obviously thought dropping it to
Yokozuna
was a better idea
What a moron!

Yeah, you're right one with what you said. But even so, Hogan's so good at getting the crowd to get behind him that sometimes I can't help but do so too. But nothing Michaels has been saying about Hogan is untrue. That's ohne of the reasons his promos have been so great recently.

Actually i don't think he is...fans just chant for him because they love him and always will,
HIS
promo's have been nothing to write home about.

Yeah, very true, plus the intensity he puts into, makes you wonder if he really thinks that. ?Read an this today on
Hogan
saying;
The Canadian Press ran a national story about Hulk Hogan and his match with Shawn Michaels at SummerSlam. Hogan said the match at SummerSlam is "About me. This is my time. I've always been the man. I don't mean to sound pompous, but it's true." Hogan also claimed Michaels went against the script on the Larry King deal.
That doesn't surprise me at all. ?He is an egotistical prick (
Michaels
has his moments to ?
) I find it amusing that
HBK
went against the script, i guess
Hogan
did not want that dose of reality aired on
TV
.

Yeah you have a point,
Kamala
is no legend not my any means. Nice nostalga trip to see him but nothing else. This legend killer gimmicks become a bit of a joke,
Harley Race
(Retired),
Mick Foley
(Retired),
Ric Flair
(Should be Retired),
Shawn Michaels
(Legend),
Moolah
(Pensioner/Female),
Undertaker
(Legend)...but he failed to beat him,
Jake Roberts
(Semi-Retired, Fat, Drunk, Drugged-up),
Steve Austin
(Lost his job because of
Orton
...but got it back soon and he was already retired),
Sgt Slaughter
(Retired),
Eric Bischoff
(Non-Wrestler). Nearly every wrestler he has taken out since this gimmick started has been retired for awhile already, or hasn't really been much of a legend anyway the only notable victories are the ones over
Foley
&
HBK
(who defeated him in a return match...so much for being a 'killer')

I have to disagree when it comes to Hogan's promos. Ever see his promo before fighting Andre The Giant at the WreslteMania where they had the tournament for the World Title (I forget exactly which one that was)? That was one of the greatest promos of all time. Talking about how he's gonna break the fault line when he slams Andre, and all the Hulkamaniacs are gonna fall into the ocean with Donald Trump, and Trump will have to give up his "material possessions" so the Hulk can "doggy paddle us all to safety". And he delivers it with such intensity. The first time I saw that promo I nearly pissed my pants laughing.
