WWE Timekeeper Mark Yeaton

Mark Yeaton has been with the WWE for 29 years. It’s this man who has rung the bell well over 100,000 times. Every start of the match, every finish, every championship won, every WrestleMania moment, it all begins and ends with Mark fucking Yeaton. He’s also the man responsible for getting Steveweisers to good ol’ Stone Cold.

All of that, and yet this man has yet to get a page in the WWE Encyclopedia. If you ask me, he’s long overdue. Mark Yeaton for 2014 Hall Of Fame!

“Wrestling’s Giant Loss” - Toronto’s Saturday Sun [1/30/1993]

While in Paris to attend his father’s funeral, Andre the Giant passed away in his sleep at the age of forty-six due to heart failure. This piece written by Frank Zicarelli goes through his life but also nicely pays tribute to a man who was a phenomenon both in and outside the ring.

Image of the New WWE Championship Leak

The image comes from BeltTalk.com, a message board that focuses on wrestling championship titles. According to PWInsider.com, the image is legit, and this will be the main centerplate for the upcoming WWE Championship redesign. The look isn’t fully completed yet, but you can expect this to replace the “Spinner” title very soon.

CM Punk tipped off fans of this upcoming redesign last week during a Q&A at the Philadelphia Comic Con:

“There is a new title, I’ve seen it and I’ll probably get in trouble for saying it, I don’t know if it’s any better looking than [the ”spinner” title].”

Looks strange to me. Can’t really say much about it until the final version is shown.
