Yes, I think he does have something to contribute. He does have something to contribute. Not just in front of the camera but behind the camera I think he definitely does in today’s age. I have always said, “He is the coolest fifty year old that you will ever meet. That will probably ever be.” I aspire to be as cool and hip as him when I turn that age. Which I probably won’t. He has definitely set the bar pretty high. He is very in tune with what is popular. What is hip? What is going today? I think that he has kind of lapped his peers in that area. A lot of people didn’t change with the times. He kind of adapted and figured out what was cool and, “How do I reach this new audience that wasn’t around ten years ago when I was on television?” I think he’s definitely got something to contribute. He is probably one of the smartest men that I have ever met in wrestling.

My mother was involved with WCW television, but she never made a dime from it. Everything you saw her do that everyone gives her crap about, she did it for free and to help the product. She did enjoy her time there and she was just having a good time. Just like if your mother was asked to do the same thing, I’d imagine she would more than likely. My mama was out there taking Diamond Cutters at 50 something years old and not making a dime for it.

I obviously have an opinion but I’m afraid to voice it.

Look, all I’m saying is, if you swapped out Paul Burchill for Murphy, I doubt anyone would notice.

1,000 Matches In 2015 - Match 971: Jimmy Valiant (w/ Jimmy Hart) Vs. Hector Guerrero CWA [January 25th, 1981]

If you live anywhere between Kentucky and Georgia, you know all about The Valiant Brothers. This match features “The Boogie Woogie Man” Jimmy Valiant facing off against Hector Guerrero. Before the match can even start, Jimmy Hart is antagonizing Hector long enough for Valiant to get a shot in. Although the match never officially started and could easily have been thrown out, Guerrero insists on fighting on, which may have been a big mistake on the part of Hector.

The mystery of the rage face bowl cut kid. [1996 - 1997]

A thread on Reddit was recently brought to my attention. A quest has begun to locate a kid known as “Fat Bowl Cut Wrestling Kid”. This same familiar face popped up on 8 different occasions, including both WWF and WCW pay per views that took place between New York and California. It is, indeed, a mystery, considering it’s the same kid on every pay per view, he always has different people with him, and he seems to always be in the front row.

For screen caps and a broader explanation, check out the Reddit thread. The way they explain the confusion is a lot more entertaining than I’d be able to. Does anybody know this kid, by some crazy chance?

March 29, 2015 - November 5, 2015. 221 Days. WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

WWE.COM: To transition, what do you see as the future of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Is there any Superstar you would like to see win it?

ROLLINS: No. You know, for me, over the last seven months I really put my stamp on that title as mine. I’ve defended it against literally everyone that has come at me and done it successfully, so for me to have to vacate the title like that, I’m not afraid of whatever happens at Survivor Series. Whoever happens to come out with the championship, as far as I’m concerned, they’re an interim champion and kind of just holding on to my title until I get back. They can look at it however they want, but for me, I’m the best and I’ve never lost my title. So, when I get back, I plan on picking up where I left off.
