Curt Hennig & Nick Bockwinkel vs Stan Hansen & Ted DiBiase - (AJPW 12/07/85)

Steven Regal vs Tony St. Clair - (Orig Williams Pro ??/??/88)

That was part of a storyline to be fair, whereas it just seems at the minute they have nothing for Kofi.

I imagine he'll get a feud in April with Cody or someone but they'll book it the same as all of them, hardly any mic time to develop a character.

Plus Sheamus is a huge white guy who trains with HHH, job for life!

And he's also awesome, Fella

Speaking of which .. yes .. I've hardly heard Kofi on the mic. Hopefully this isn't another episode of Shelton Benjamin. Sure, he was champion, but you didn't know much about Benjamin the character.

Remember when Kofi had one backstage promo to do with DX with his faux Jamican accent, botched it and killed the gimmick of Kofi Kingston until he gets a new gimmick and gets rid of the awful boom squad stuff he ain't going no where.

At least Bryan and Sheamus are getting a Wrestlemania payday.

No one's perfect but anyhoo ..

Kofi botched ending w/ Orton (sorry if posted already .. didn't see it)

Man ... he's pissed!

Looks like Kofi wasn't in place for a punt, so he changed the finish to an RKO.

I think Kofi was supposed to go for his finisher and Orton was going to counter into an RKO, but he missed his spot and Randy got pissed and just RKO'd him instead.
 
I like how Kofi supposedly got a ton of shit for that backstage, but no one said a damn thing when Orton fucked up against Justin Gabriel by rolling the wrong way out of the 450 - I've never seen anyone roll out away from the ringpost like Orton did, they always roll in towards the post and that's clearly what Gabriel was expecting him to do as he actually jumps a bit further than he normally would to make sure he didn't hit Orton. "STUPID! STUPID!"
 
Kofi was supposed to stay on the ground for the punt. Kofi was going to dodge it, spring up, and go for the trouble in paradise. Orton was to counter it into a RKO. But Kofi forgot the whole spot and just sold up to his feet. You can see Orton walk over to try and keep him down when he's hyping up the RKO.

You can poop in a Divas bag, get suspended for roids/drugs, trash your hotel room because you were being sent home from a European tour after you kept acting like a six-year old, and you know what, you're quite a guy!

That's normal. If your on the top of the food chain "that's okay, mistakes happen". If you're anywhere else "You fucking idiot, you're lucky we don't FE you"

Orton famously took a shit in one of the Diva's gym bags, pretty self explanatory story really although he denies is and said he just poured tanning lotion in there as she was disrespecting people backstage.

I always felt bad for Kofi with that ending, it wasn't that bad and didn't look bad, daft really, it's no worse than the failed RKO on Jericho that time.

For me Kofi is servicable on the mic, I loved his Nascar promo. He's generic but not awful.

There was a rumor that The Viper took a doo doo in Rochelle Loewen's bag. In reality he just poured tanning lotion and baby oil in it as retaliation for her speaking out about his behavior towards the women backstage.

I actually know Rochelle and to this day, she still insists RKO shit in her bag. I think I believe her.

Ah ok, thanks. Although I really dont believe Orton's story. Tanning lotion? Really? He couldn't come up with a better lie?

With video ..

Not sure which way he was supposed to roll. The easy thing would be to roll toward the post. However he could have just 450'd like usual and Orton would then set him up for the RKO in the middle of the ring. If you roll toward the post, it would be more difficult to get up with the ropes in your way.

And with this I say fuck randy orton. How is he able to fuck up, and everyone else suffers for it?
 
This weeks ROH Video Wire;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcXC0O8Op78

Featuring promos from Eddie Edwards, Steve Corino, Truth Martini & Michael Elgin, Prince Nana's Embassy & their lawyer Robert Evans, plus Roderick Strong flipping out backstage after losing the belt.

Lol, Eddie looks as surprised as everyone else was when he won the title, also Dave Taylor in the Embassy? Awesome.
 
Just finished Jericho's book and I gotta say, even if he didn't mean to portray him that way, Vince comes across as bipolar and slightly crazy. His attitude and behavior throughout the book is bizarre as hell. And also, backstage politics sound like hell.

Shouldn't the splash been where Orton was positioned at that time to begin with?

1. We don't know if Randy Orton was talked to in the back
2. Didn't Kofi botch in a main event match on the jan 4th RAW where Bret Hart came back and Hogan was first shown live on Impact? Yeah kind of a bigger deal than a throwaway Justin Gabriel match.

Whatever, it's all conjecture based off shit written in the dirt sheets anyways.

My point was that you wouldn't expect someone like Orton, who seemed to flip his lid because of a simple error on Kofi's part, to make such a basic error himself, but there it is and now Gabriel's been hitting a tame version of the 450 ever since.

Here's the best way I can tell you about Vince McMahon. It's the ultimate Vince control story. If you're in the room with Vince McMahon and he sneezes, go on your Blackberry for the next 20 minutes because nothing you say to him is going to get through ... Cause he gets really p-----d off. Cause he can't control the sneeze."

Ian Rotten went on this podcast to basically get caught in a chain of lies: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jerrywiseman/2011/03/23/and-then-the-bell-rings-1

Two hours of him running in wild circles and people hating him. Pretty sad/funny.

I was going to post that earlier, but wasn't sure if anyone else here cared about the seedy, depressing world of Ian Rotten - that podcast made for some awful/awesome listening, I have no idea why Ian would stay online for the whole thing as he was getting ripped a new one by everyone. The Mickie Knuckles stuff was just awful, and all the stuff about JC Bailey was super depressing - although I loved hearing Billy Gram phone in to verbally outwit Ian at every turn.

I'm only about 45:00 in, and he hasn't been able to refute anything or make one point about anything. I had no idea about his history until a couple of weeks ago, as I only remembered him from ECW. Dude seems a real sleaze.
 
Backstage lineup board from Wrestlemania 26:

A neat little glimpse backstage. The board also shows the agents who helped put together each match with the talent involved.

Now we know who else to blame for Bret vs. Vince!
 
In that same vein, I remember seeing a picture of the WWE "HD belt table" they use for TV tapings a while ago. Does anyone have it saved, by any chance?

well, fuck, that was easy. Turns out I had it saved.

It looks like towards the end of the video Orton is shouting "Stupid" twice.
