Really? I don't recall it. Might be my mind playing tricks though
Any idea why he went for the Villain/coward role against Hogan and sacraficed half of his legacy in the process?
He was always brilliant as a bad guy. That's what made people like him in the first place.
I used to love Too Cool, back in those days when they actually had proper tag teams.
The Dudleys, Hardys, Edge and Christian, APA, Too Cool, New Age Outlaws etc.

Yes, in the corporation etc. I remember watching it all as a kid. Throwing Stone cold off that bridge etc, was fantastic.
He as never really a 'good guy', apart from his 'Rocky Miavia' days, he was just someone who said whatever he wanted, beat the shit out of everyone and was incredibly entertaining and likeable whilst doing it.
What I am saying is though, he will hardly ever wrestle again, and whether he wants to go down as a bad guy or whatever is fine, but some of his cowardly gestures in that match tarnish his legacy a little, as he will have no time to revive it.
Yes, the proper tag-teams were the best.
The last proper tag-team I think was MNM. They were really good.
But the last time he wrestled a match, he was a good guy. That match with Hogan was a few years before. He wrestled his last match in 2004, against Evolution.
Until Mercury got that real nasty nose injury, i'm trying to think of any tag teams since then and the only ones i can think of are Deuce and Domino, Jesse and Festus and Hawkins and Ryder when they were the Edgeheads.
The Uso's are the only tag team they've got now that they broke up the Hart Dynasty for no real reason.
Oh and any WWE thread deserves a nostalgic shout out to Puppies.
Ahhh, wasn't there a rematch with Hogan in 2008? I havn't watched it in ages so could be way off.
Their TLC Match was absolutely epic.
I just thought MNM were brilliant. Both talented young guys who looked good and worked well together. Even though they were bad guys, they got a decent response from the crowd (but maybe Melina had something to do with that also).
No, Rock hasn't wrestled since 2004.
This was when I first noticed The Rock, back in his Nation days. I loved everything about it - The Rock, the group itself and this is a great theme song. The beat is awesome.
I know around that time, DX were the hot thing but me personally I loved The Nation.
Funny thing is Rock as Rocky Maivia wasnt even meant to be a heel. I remember they put his father with him and he was still shit on. All credit to him though cos he just turned it.
Rock winning the title at SS Deadly Games with the sharpshooter and the screwjob (a year after the real screwjob) was just shocking. Corporate rock was brilliant.
Yeah. He was doing it when he had the "My time" music. That was a good song.

Stephanie Mcmahon Helmsley and her amazing latex outfits.
That is what I remember from WWE.

There's a tit flash video about in cyberspace if you want a lookie-loo.
Not really. He was still cheered even when he played the "Hollywood" heel.
Stephanie 
She just "busted out" when the invasion angle happened. Also funny how Rock and especially Jericho just kept making fun of her for that.

Steph had a cracking set of norks
Trish was my fave, I also had a major thing for Terri runnels

Watching it now, you know what sounds really, really shit now? The noise of someone hitting the ring. It's so tinny instead of deep. Sounds terrible.
One of the shack people was Undertaker, he's just walked out.

WTF is this? WWE NXT, like an X-Factor for wannabees, the task this week for the remaining 3 is like an obstacle course... the first obstacle is they have to bounce a ping pong ball down a table and into a cup, run to a next one and build a little wooden model, run to the next one and bounce a plastic cup on a table over another cup, then run to the next table and put some dice in order using chop sticks ???
WTF?
WTF?
I find it best to pretend NXT doesn't actually exist.
I know, it's the biggest pile of shite isn't it?
It was eye bleedingly bad. Are they trying to say this is how wrestlers make it? Learn to bounce ping pong balls down a table and into a cup?
Speaking of x-factor, WWE Hard Enough will be back. 
Jesus, I swear, just when I thought it couldnt go any lower.
Jesus, I swear, just when I thought it couldnt go any lower.Whatever happened to tryouts and actually wrestling?
I really liked the stuff with edge, Christian and Kurt angle, when foley was the commish
Speaking of x-factor, WWE Hard Enough will be back.
...
Tough Enough. With Stone Cold Steve Austin, Trish Stratus and Booker T as 3 of the trainers.
Previous Tough Enough people who have done stuff in the WWE
John Morrisson
The Miz
So its probably worth doing
First series of NXT was quite good as it had Daniel Bryan and The Miz fueding as pro and rookie. That transfered onto Raw and other shows. It lead to Bryan defeating Miz for the US title. And now its a ready-made fued for Bryan to become a main eventer either for Miz's title or after the Miz loses the title to someone else.
It also led to Nexus, where the majority of the first season rookies banded together and eventually beat everyone up taking over Raw for a while.
So it can work as long as the WWE use their more talented superstars from the developmental territory. The problem is they dont always use a Bryan or a Kaval, like the current series and series 2.
They should have used Tyler Black for the current series. He's another like Daniel Bryan and CM Punk who is well respected in the indy circuit. Another superstar who will put on good matches and should go far. And right now he's... Doing feck all

I know, it's not like that's what people tune in to watch or anything, who would have thought?
Apparently Mr Miyagi is backstage with the rookies...
'When am I going to learn how to punch?'
'Better learn ping pong bounce. ping pong bounce is key. ping pong bounce good, wrestling good. Everything good. ping pong bounce bad, better pack up, go home. Understand?'
Half the battle to become something in wrestling/sports entertainment is provoking a reaction from the fans.
Tough Enough / NXT allow lots of fans to build some kind of relationship with them before they even take up your time on a real show like Raw. So instantly the faces get a good reaction and the heels get a bad reaction, and the people on NXT have already wrestled in front of lots of people (I believe they tape NXT right before Raw is put on live)
