(13 Jan 2015, 1:42 pm)MurdnunoC He was always going to get in eventually. Before his death, he was in talks about coming back in some capacity - he even appeared in a commercial promoting the video game 'WWE All Stars'. As for why he's being inducted now, well, the WWE HOF has promoted either themes or tailored the event around a particular star in recent years. Last year, the Ultimate Warrior was the big star; this year it's Savage. No point in putting them both together when there's money to be made by highlighting both in separate events?
Although I get why he's being inducted by Hulk Hogan, I'd rather see him inducted by his brother (and former WWE Superstar', 'The Genius' Lanny Poffo.

(13 Jan 2015, 5:04 pm)MurdnunoC As you know, the term 'teenager' applies to any age from thirteen and nineteen. The age of consent differs from state to state in the US - in some states it's 14, in others it's 18. If Savage was porking Steph then it may have been legal, or illegal, depending on where deed was done.
Savage was released by the WWE in November 1994 after both parties failed to agree on a new contract. Steph was born on the 26th September 1976 which made her 18 at the time of the Macho Man's departure. With wrestling being wrestling, I'm guessing that any relationship between the two would have been common knowledge. For the relationship to fall any within legally murky territory, the relationship would have had to been going on for at least a year. If it had of went on for this long (or even longer), it's highly probable that Vince would have known. If the relationship (presuming it happened) caused Vince any concern, he would have taken steps to end it sooner rather than later. When all of this is taken into account, it seems highly unlikely that Vince would have continued to employ Savage until his contract ran out.
So, no I don't believe that Savage was doing Steph behind Vince's back leading to a hostile relationship between the two.
However, Savage was instrumental in convincing Hall, Nash and a few others to jump from WWF to WCW. This is the most likely source of any bad blood.

RAW was well worth stopping up for Last Night, with it being the Reunion of WWE Hall of Famers and the go home show before Royal Rumble on Sunday I honestly thought it would shit and overly predictable as they usually are, there were some great surprises too particularly in the Main Event Segment, not going to give any spoilers away for those who havent watched it yet so for now my lips are sealed.

(20 Jan 2015, 2:10 pm)MurdnunoC You need to go and see a local show sometime. See how UK-based wrestlers perform. It won't be as glamorous or as polished as the WWE product, but an independent wrestling show can be just as fun.Something I keep meaning to get round to Adam...

Is there much of a scene locally...
I remember a local promotion, North East Wrestling Society going round places like Peterlee and Seaham, they were even gonna come to Murton sometime, then they vanished...least I think they did...
I would love to set up a small business promoting things like small wrestling shows, but my product would be somewhere between backyard wrestling and the toilet lol
Best RKO Vine I have seen out of all the ones I have watched, question is how do you top that though.

Justin Gabriel (Paul Lloyd) has reportedly quit WWE and is trending on twitter.
Born in South Africa and trained in England, Gabriel debuted on the main roster as part of the Nexus angle back in 2010.
He was pretty decent in the ring and certainly had 'the look' WWE likes. However, after the Nexus (and subsequently The Corre) had fizzled out, it was obvious that WWE creative had nothing for him. He lingered in the undercard and formed a tag-team with Tyson Kidd named 'International Airstrike' which, despite being popular with the 'WWE Universe', achieved little of note. More recently, he was used in NXT in a gatekeeper role in which up and coming talent faced to prove their worth.
I imagine he'll end up in either Lucha Underground or New Japan while sporadically doing a tour of the indies both in Europe and North America. If he's smart, he'll probably do quite well.

(26 Jan 2015, 2:40 pm)MrFozz I am assuming people will have seen or heard The Rumble by now...
I have not watched WWE properly for a few weeks now...
Is Bubba Ray Dudley back for good? was DDPs appearance just a cameo, I know he makes cameos every now and again...

(26 Jan 2015, 5:32 pm)MurdnunoC Don't know whether he's back for good, but, with The Ascension's gimmick of belittling old tag-teams, I suspect Bubba will be appearing alongside D-Von sometime soon.
I actually prefer Bubba as Bully Ray in TNA. Easily the best work of his career.

WWE has been absolutely shite in recent months.
I've got no real interest in watching Sting wrestle Triple H. There's been no attempt made to explain the why Sting has a problem with 'Haich or The Authority - why should I care?
Roman Reigns should've been the hottest thing going into the Rumble. Fair enough, his injury may have derailed some of the plans WWE had for him. However, since his return, WWE have seemingly stripped him of any aura he once had and exposed his weaknesses in the process. He's quickly becoming just another guy. Putting him with The Rock only emphasises this - he should've been able to win the people over without the help of a relative.
Dudley's were alright, but their act was stale by 2005 when they left for pastures new.
