Bret Hart has joined Twitter.
Now normally this wouldn't be worthy of more than a "oh that's cool" and moving on, but! Bret had a little Q&A; to get himself into the
Twitter flow and ended up bad-mouthing Hogan. Hogan didn't take too kindly to that and now it's on:
HitmanBretSHart
@kevmtaylor71 Hogan's nothing but a two-faced, backstabbing, steroid freak who deserved everything he got.
HulkHogan4Real
Listen to where Bretts speaking from,it's funny he's done everything he's saying I did. HH
HitmanBretSHart
@HulkHogan4Real That's not what John Graziano thinks, dickhead.
LETS GO BRET! LETS GO BRET! LETS GO BRET!

I wasn't aware that John Graziano was still capable of thought.
Too soon?
I just love how Hogan's reply was akin to "I know you are but what am I" and then Bret just went for the quick low blow.
The lesson: Don't grow up idolizing wrestlers, they're ALL children.
I can't stop laughing, however.
At least this makes more sense than Aimee Mann vs. 50 Cent.
ha! I had to quick google John Graziano to remember.
Bret with the TKO punch!

I think Bret went nuclear way too fast. I mean why did he start tweeting shit about HH to begin with - is there more backstory or did Bret just
decide to flame him out of the blue?
Last I heard Bret's kids were all meth heads or something, and the Hart family is pretty damn dysfunctional from Stu all the way down - not sure
bringing family into it is smart.
What's next - "Hey Hulk your ex-wife is banging a 20 yr old and spending all of your money"?
He was doing a Q&A; to twitter fans and someone asked him his thoughts on Hogan, so it wasn't a flame out of left field.
Someone also asked earlier what his thoughts were on TNA (I think they asked what he would do to improve TNA) and he said he would tar and feather
Hogan and Bischoff. Someone else asked him if he watches TNA though, and he said he doesn't.
And someone asked what he thought about Charlie Sheen. He said that unfortunately, he reminds him of Teddy Hart.
He also thinks his brother Bruce is incompetent.
I assume this is legit, take it for what its worth

Foundation
Is Melina still his favorite female wrestler?: Her, Nattie Neidhart,
Beth Phoenix, and Gail Kim are the best female wrestlers today

his return someday.
His favorite period as Champion: 1997?
His closest friend in wrestling: Roddy Piper
His match with Diesel at Survivor Series 95: It s always been one of
my personal favorites. Pretty solid match. And the table wasn t
gimmicked.
Do any of his brothers still train wrestlers?: My brother Bruce
pretends to, but it s more a school where you learn everything not to
do. My brother Smith has a school in Barrie, Ontario
Thoughts on the Miz: I like him. Always liked him. Just wish he d
give me a title shot.
Does he regret his time in WCW?: I wish I never left WWE, if that s
what you mean
Thoughts on Tyson Kidd: He had a strong year but it looks like he s
going to have to work his way back around.
Thoughts on John Cena: One of the hardest working guys in the history
of the WWE.
Last time he spoke to Owen s kids: It s been so long, I can t
remember. Maybe six months after he died.
Thoughts on CM Punk: I think he s uniquely gifted. By the time his
career is over, he ll be recognized for his greatness.
Best Canadian wrestler: I still count Benoit. But Edge is killer. no
pun intended obviously
Does he watch TNA? How he would improve their product?: I don t watch
TNA. I d have Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff tar and feathered.
Any regrets?: I wish I reached out a little harder to Bulldog, Crush,
and Test.

Thoughts on ROH: Nothing but respect. Some of the hardest workers in
the business.

Thoughts on David Hart Smith: I m patiently waiting for him to find
his greatness. HIs time will come. Mark my words.

Least favorite: vs. Backlund @ Wrestlemania (not my opponent, the
match itself).
Favorite opponents: Perfect, Owen, Austin, and the Bulldogs.
Toughest opponents: Vader and Goldberg.

anytime.
Favorite PPV he was part of: The In Your House Calgary Stampede pay

Thoughts on Alberto Del Rio: A unique, classic Mexican heel that s
easy to hate. Which means he s doing his job.
Will we see Owen in the HOF?: I sure hope so.
Thoughts on the Iron Man Match with Shawn Michaels: I was concerned
with the difficulty but I never had any doubts about my ability.

It s too sad to see a guy work so hard and have nothing left.

Edge, Jericho, Trish, and the hart dynasty
Working as a heel against Jerry Lawler in USWA: Working with Lawler

Favorite match he was not involved in: Lesnar vs. Angle at
WrestleMania
The best Japanese wrestler: Tatsumi Fujinami
Thoughts on Hulk Hogan: Hogan s nothing but a two-faced,
backstabbing, steroid freak who deserved everything he got.
Would he open a wrestling school?: I think about it. Maybe one of
these days.
I know its been discussed before, but wow, everyone loves orton. If hbk and hart think he's great, he must be doing something right.

that WAS funny
It was funny. It's been 4 years; a little bit of black humor is OK. I mean, OO has been using a gif of Benoit flying into the WTC since about a week after that whole thing happened so I think this is the wrong place to get pissy about Bret making a relatively tame joke about it.
I think it's more the fact that Bret knew and worked with Benoit, as opposed to some random person joking about it here. If a friend of mine went
psycho and murdered his family, I don't think I'd ever make a little "haha" reference about it, regardless of how much time had passed.
Anyhow, I'm not saying crucify Bret for it, but I do think it was a questionable thing to say.
I think it could have been funny but the delivery was off. The "no pun intended obviously" makes me wonder if he was trying to be funny or just used
the "killer" adjective and then couldn't figure out what to.
Obviously with the graziono joke he's not above dark humor and that's fine. If I knew he was being funny I'd laugh along. I'm not
pissy about it, I'm just not sure he meant it as a joke. Maybe it's the whole tweet thing I'm not used to or maybe I'll just blame
Canada.
[Edited on 3-4-2011 by doctorb]
Awesome. Bret went straight for the death blow. Bret and Owen always struck me as the most normal and level headed Hart family members.
I am surprised that Bret has not kept in touch with his nephew and niece. I assume Martha cut off all ties with the rest of the Hart family. I guess
we will never see Owen get inducted into the HOF because of Martha.
I never understood Martha wanting to Keep Owen out of the HOF, or to keep blocking the WWE from doing any DVD's/toys/SD vs Raw vg characters...
ect.
I mean I get that the family probably got a good settlement out of things, but I'm also sure that the window's closing on fans who'd
remember Owen enough to spend money on him. Hell, why not license it to go to a charity as I'm sure the WWE would be willing to sign away their
profits just for the good ink it'd get them.
As to a lot of the guys loving Orton I think Rick said something about this before as relayed by one of his insiders that the reason why the
guy's so liked by the "boys" is that he works a very low impact type style and usually plays nice with others enough to make them look good.
I thought aside from airing his obvious problems with his brother Bruce, that this was something a little diffrent and refreshing from Hart as he
seems a lot happier and is putting a lot of guys over isntead of it being a 50/50 thing.
I did notice that outside of Macho man everyone he loves seems to be Canadian or Texan though (Piper, Harts, Benoit, Jericho,, Edge vs Austin, HBK,
and Taker). Its funny to see that for such small places (population wise) how many talents come out of there and how they all seem to stick
together.
Loved the Cole snipe too.
I have nothing to back this up, as I don't know Martha Hart, or anyone in the Hart family, but I always got the sense she thought wrestling was beneath her, Owen, and her family and that she's embarrassed that's how her husband made his living.
Damn good, straight-to-the-point Q&A;, Benoit joke included. I think, if anything, Bret's close proximity to that whole tragedy means he should
be able to joke about it now. Lighten up people.
And the dual thoughts of him inducting HBK into the Hall of Fame as well as a Hart Foundation made up of him, Edge, Christian, Trish, Jericho, and
The Hart Dynasty almost made my head explode from awesomeness.
Yep, maybe also add Anvil and Jimmy Hart for nostalgia value. They could wear those awesome jackets and destroy Nexus and Corre. I'd love every minute of a feud like that.
I'll say this much: The Hitman is my favourite wrestling of all time and Hogan is my least favourite wrestler of all time! Having said that,
after viewing their Twitter exchange they're both making themselves look like fourth graders
On a sidenote, Miz and Jericho are now flaming each other about former hairstyles and gimmicks. Pretty funny stuff.
411 has a post up now featuring more of Bret's Twitter stuff, but this one in particular stood out as fantastic:
On Sunny & HBK In The Hall of Fame: "It's kind of ironic. We're all enjoying sunny days again. haha 
"
Just to keep with the wrestling/Twitter vibe of this thread, CM Punk apparently tweeted this to John Cena:

He'll never the be reason why people remember a really good match, but he's able to the things necessary to have a good match. He works soft, so you know you won't get hurt.
In essence: you can do a 4-month program with Randall, and you won't risk injury, you'll be the one who gets all the high-spots/sound-bites, and you'll be working at or near the top of the card.
That's the difference between being one of the "boys" and being one of us "fans." The "boys" care about shit different from us, and to some extent, I support that, since I really don't want this little hobby of mine to be a life-shortening one for the guys who supply the entertainment... but honestly: when you strip it down, they are praising Orton for being utterly mediocre and safe, not for being excellent. Orton is unthreatening to the excellent, but rather viewed as a prop to help them stay excellent.
And I think we all know where I stand on that issue...
CM Punk is awesome:
quote:
@EveMarieTorres: Happy Women's History month. (anyone sense my sarcasm?)� Enjoy your month. Lots of dishes to do come April.
This thread is making me hate twitter less. I can't decide if following punk and a few others would be worthwhile, or if sorting through the drek to get to the good stuff that you guys will likely post here anyway would renew my hatred of it.
You're not just getting diarrhea from everyone. You pick and choose who you follow. If you only follow people who are consistently bringing the
goods, then it makes Twitter a lot better.
If you start getting annoying family members or friends who insist on being your buddies on there, then you might start getting BS you don't care
about.
Start one, but keep it on the DL and be very selective about who you follow. It can be VERY entertaining that way, and you'll likely find out
about stuff you wouldn't have otherwise.
Saw this from Austin and thought it was funny:
quote:
took a hike in the mountains this morning...got attacked by 7 mountain lions...good news is--im fine...bad news is--i broke a finger nail.
yes..i did stun all 7 mountain lions...one of them didnt sell it...so he got another stunner and a six pack of Whoop Ass....on the house.
drove home from TOUGH ENOUGH listening to Hair Nation on satellite radio...was rocking so hard i damn near grew a mullet.
Yeah, his wife's always laugh at his jokes, if they know what's good for em.

There's also the option of creating "lists" which could really come in handy. If I follow 500 people, I might want to separate them into lists (wrestlers, comedians, actors, musicians, friends, etc.), and that way, I can limit what I'm reading even more depending on what I FEEL like reading at the moment or what I'm looking to find. Don't feel like weeding through all your friends' tweets and actor's promoting their movies? Just click into your "wrestlers" list and there you go. A list of tweets, only from the wrestlers you're following.
I put Kevin smith on his own list because he tweets too damn much.
Gotta love Bret Hart!!
http://twitpic.com/4a7q1o
Lol, who knew Hart could draw?
Hahaha, that Flair drawing was pretty good. Except Flair's hair should of been a little reddish as well. If you take a look at Hitman's
autobiography, on the inside of the cover is a similarly comical drawing of a bunch of wrestlers. I can recall seeing Abdullah, complete with blades
on his finger tips. Dynamite, Owen, Davey Boy, Macho and so on.
Seeing that drawing of Flair brought back some memories. I seem to recall Bret and Jerry Lawler having some sort of ribbing drawing contest. I think
Lawler even showed a caricature he made of Stu and Helen on a PPV. I also remember Dynamite sharing a story where New Japan did a tour of the Middle
East. Dynamite and Bret would get drunk of their arses and charge it to the promoter's room. In addition Bret would draw pictures of the
promoter sleeping with a camel and sucking camel dick and post the pictures on the promoter's door.
An old WWF Magazine ran a spread on Hart vs Lawler Art Contests (I think it was during their "Kiss my Foot" days). Bret Hart is decent, but Lawler is really good. I remember one Lawler portrait had a stunned, shocked Bret Hart (complete with eyes bugging out through his shades) as he held a little childish, stick figure drawing looking at Jerry Lawler leaning on a copy of his drawing (a Mona Lisa). The inside of Bret Hart's book has a bunch of wrestlers he worked with through the years, and thankfully the back page actually names them all.
Well, a quick youtube search and this is the first video:
And this:
Holy crap, he's really talented.
I remember reading somewhere that Jerry Lawler was drawing Superman, but I wasn't sure that it was the same Jerry.
Didn't he also illustrate Foley's Christmas book? I remember seeing a segment on that, I think on one of my Foley DVDs.
Indeed he did, Matte. Lawler's a pretty talented illustrator, for sure.

Even aside from all this stuff, I think it's kind of interesting how WWE has embraced social media in their storytelling. Like how instead of
just announcing the Rock is going to talk or the Miz isn't going to show up, they announce that the Rock promised on facebook that he would show
up or Miz posted something on Twitter.
I don't know if they just think it's a useful storytelling tool or they actually care about driving followers to their people.
Latest pic from Bret Hart...

Just saw this on 411-- apparently, Cole called Josh a faggot on Twitter,
and TMZ picked up on it.
Basically he took it down right away and then posted an apology, but it sounds like he's still gonna be in a bit of trouble. Screen caps of it
all are within that link.
quote:
A rep for the WWE tells TMZ, "WWE has alerted GLAAD to the situation and spoken to Michael Cole about his post. He has removed it and apologized for using hateful language. Michael will be included in the training session being done by GLAAD. WWE takes this very seriously and is against discrimination of any kind based on sexual orientation, gender, race, religion or other."
Wow, does Cole have any grasp whatsoever of the irony of him calling anyone a "faggot"?
ETA- I don't pay too much attention to the Twitters anymore, so if Joey Styles posts anything about this will someone please share?
[Edited on 3-26-2011 by Chris Is Good517]
Faggots just have no sense of humor. That's why people call them faggots.
I kid, I kid.
If only WWE actually.cared.about.these.things, this might end his push.
As one of the board's resident homos...
I'm let down, that was pretty shitty. There was no humorous context, no reason for him to say it. He just outright felt like calling Josh
Matthews the f-word on a public stage, and did. He then issued one of those "I'm not really sorry, but sorry" apologies which suck. Is it also
weird that I find "fag" less offensive than "faggot?" It's like the shorter version is more of a reactionary, fucking around, playful thing.
Nope, nothing of the sort from Cole.
I'm even a fan of the Cole / King feud. I don't want to see the feud with Lawler affected. Unless...
Hm. I take it back. Vince needs to get on the phone with Heidenreich, pronto. Simulated on-air rape sounds like good punishment.
Swagger goes out and says he doesn't apologize for the announcer right before he squashes Goldust in how many seconds Monday during the hour
transition slot now?
Wait, it's Michael Cole, I still don't care either way, he can't even be bothered to grow his bitch-goatee in and dye it like heel
Hogan or Steiner for this interminable mystery GM push.
Miz just posted the over the limit poster which focuses solely on the miz.
http://twitpic.com/4dzxqo
Wonder if this means he wins at WM or loses and then has a mental break.
Also, is Backlash gone or are they having 3 ppvs in 2 months.
Backlash is done, because the next one is Extreme Rules.

Looks like CM Punk is riling up the Texas Rattlesnake now.
In response to http://heymanhustle.craveonline.com/articles/news/161444
CM Punk tweets...
"I like how thq acts like they don't know what would happen if @steveaustinBSR and I were to lock horns. Everybody knows. SXE > Beer."
"GTS > stunner."
"�@TheBethPhoenix: �@CMPunk: GTS > stunner.� epic.� Oh. Hell. Yeah."
Stone Cold Steve Austin replies...
"@CMPunk alright Punk...you just crossed the line...i'll be seeing your ass in Atlanta."
I think Twitter is great for making wrestling fun and more "real" again! Especially when guys like Miz & Punk are staying in character (moreso on that
with Punk!).
[Edited on 3-30-2011 by G-Spot]
When you do the @ thing, does it go to the person you're responding to and get highlighted or something? Or do you just count on them seeing it because they follow you? Because if someone follows 1000 people they might well miss something directed right @ them.
Yet another amusing
Twitter story--
quote:
- Dixie Carter's Twitter account was suspended today. The reason has to do with the fact that her page background had the image saying that the account was verified. Twitter's terms of use state that only they can assign that logo to someone. Since she used it without permission, the account was suspended.

Why does Dixie have a Twitter account (it's like Tnadixie or something, right?) if she's not part of TNA? Are all her tweets something like "still trying to get back into TNA" or "I'll get you hogan?"
Punk/Austin just keeps getting better!!!
CM Punk: �@steveaustinBSR: @CMPunk alright Punk...you crossed the line...i'll be seeing your ass in Atlanta.� Not if I see you first. Chicago

Austin: "@CMPunk Alright son...I'm about to get off this treadmill and RUN to Atlanta..bringing some extra cans of Whoop Ass!!! YOU HAVE BEEN
WARNED!"
CM Punk: "@steveaustinBSR wait, you do Cardio? Legit question."
Austin: "@CMPunk What are you doing son, asking for advice/lessons etc.? I'll give your pierced lipped ass a couple lessons when I see you. Out."
And I love Punk's "bio" on Twitter...

"I heard Orton had an Awesome match though. Ur welcome. Lol."
"I guess Swagger will use my Ankle Lock as well.Very creative. I'm the Best in the World. You Guys will never be Kurt Angle.can I get an AMEN."
"Kurt Angle will never die. TNA. WWE. I'm a leader. Not follower."
"Why would WWE use my finishes? Is it because I won't go back? R Orton- Angle Slam. M Cole- Ankle Lock? They have some nerve."
"Jerry Lawlor did it too. But He is a Legend. WWE really stuck it to Me.No Love lost. I'm glad that I helped Your biggest Event of the Year"
quote:
Everythings been done before as far as 'moves' go in the sports entertainment. I want to thank SCSA for the 'Thesz Press'.

Point being, instead of taking offense to someone using your move, consider it a sign of respect.
Btw does anyone know what Ken Shamrocks finish was? I believe Jack Swagger used ankle lock outta respect for Ken?
I'm actually 100% on Orton's side on this one, and I think his reply was actually pretty smart. Kudos to him for reminding Angle that Angle is hardly the first person to use the ankle lock. What was Angle thinking?
Lol @ "And I know for a fact that SCSA got the 'Thesz Press' from Dutch Mantel.". I'm pretty sure it was Lou Thesz who used the Lou
Thesz press first. Eh, maybe Dutch got it from Lou and passed it down. But for the rest, I co-sign the Viper 100%.

Now Kurt is saying his account was hacked -
quote:
"To anyone I upset, I am sorry. I didn't watch W-mania last night. I DID get a lot of tweets during Show. About Orton, Swagger,etc.Who cares?
I think the whole thing is Halarious. How I upset all of U amazes me.I don't read dirt sheets,but u heard they r upset.They're 'dirt' sheets
I Hope that W-mania was entertaining for all of You, especially 'The Rock'. Oh, and Orton-relax, I won't beat ur ass. You can use my move
2 Randy Orton's credit, I Heard He had the best match of the night. Good for You! Btw,I Never used Shamrock's finish while he still wrestled
There's a big difference to using a Finish somebody did b4 U, and is doing while U still Wrestle. The fact is, I don't care. Sorry everybody
Lastly,I just found out somebody hacked into my Twitter account.Most of those tweets weren't from me.I just found out today. I will find out"
Oh, Kurt. Just stop, dude.
And CM Punk jumps into the Angle/Orton issue:
""my twitter account was hacked", is the new: "I'm a sloppy drunk douche"."
Punk buts in and goes straight to the nukes. I get what he's saying and all, but given Kurt's recent drinking related arrest this shot will seem pretty personal.
I like how Angle went with the "my account was hacked" card, but still displays the tweets on his page, when everyone else who has their account
hacked deletes them.
Also, Punk is awesome.
And Joey Styles chimes in:
"I'm watching Jack Swagger apply the Ankle Lock to The King and wondering if anyone's twitter account will be hacked."
Angle Slam is one bland shitty move anyways.

Not to open the whole TNA vs WWE argument again, but isn't stealing from a smaller less watched organization kind of a time honoured wrestling
tradition?
I get the "stealing" being an issue in some cases as I remember the Rock burying Juventud Guerrero on the mic years ago for what he deamed to be
stealing when JG was calling himself "The Juice" or something like that (I think he was also copying his mannerisms or something too?), but never
having an issue with both him and Booker using the Rock Bottom/Bookend.
Its funny how some moves get treated with such respect though, as despite Sting still using the Scorpion death lock in WCW, Rock didn't touch the
sharpshooter until after Brett Hart called it a career over there. I know Husky Harris used the stunner in FCW in a recent video that made the rounds,
but I'm thinking it will be a long time before we see anyone bust that one out on the big stage. Maybe Angle just suffered from using finishers
that are a little more "generic"... I'll give his argument a bit more credibility if Orton busts out an F5 some time soon.
It's not.stealing from a lesser.organization since Kurt used it on WWE. Also, Orion ford it so badly its barely recognizable. And the announcers
don't even call it an Olympic slam or anything.
Also, Skip used the stunner as his finishes. Go back and watch him squash Bryan on Nxt. Sharkboy used it to but that was an homage.
Plenty of people, including Bubba Ray use the rock bottom.
Now Kurt is saying it wasn't hacked, but a family member went on after he went to bed and did all the tweeting.
Whats even funnier is that while Angle uses it as a finisher, old Randall uses it as a normal move.

I disagree. He mostly uses it as another move. I don't remember seeing it used to set up the RKO or punt. To really see how unimportant the move
is to him, just listen to the announcers who never act like its a big move, as opposed to the hangman ddt.
Basically, its not a signature move if it doesn't get a "VINTAGE!" (Or at least a reaction from the announcers that makes it seem like it can end
a match, the way the Irish backbreaker, chuck kick, hangman ddt and AA spinebuster are treated).
And let's be honest. TNA does this all the time. Storm used the Backstabber as a normal move and, since that's not really a big deal,
Jarrett constantly uses the Pedigree as a basic nothing move that doesn't even deserve a pitfall attempt.
And, of course, Punk will disagree with Angle here because Punk used the pedigree as his finishes in ROH and started using Kenta's finisher when
he hit the big leagues.
[Edited on 4-6-2011 by theflammablemanimal]
I always felt like the announcers never call it because outside of "the Olympic Slam" and "the Angle Slam," there's no name for it that doesn't link it to Kurt. "Fireman's Carry Slam" doesn't really flow off the un-eloquent tongues of Cole, Booker, or Matthews.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Mathews announces. Lord knows it is much better than the crap JR would spout. Of course with JR it would be called either "that's his move" or the RKO, cause JR didn't have a clue what the hell was going on half the time. If you got rid of Cole, I think Josh would surprise alot of people with how good of an announcer he would be. He has a genuine passion, and knowledge of the buisness. I would not mind Mathews and/or Grisham as the permanent raw play by play guy.
I mostly lumped in Matthews (Mathews?) to make my point. I like the guy; it DID bug me, however, when he joined Cole in ragging on the divas, specifically Natalya Neidhart.

I misread that and though Michael Cole responded by saying "You're doing a great job though," which would have been hilarious.
Just saw this over at Lords of Pain... CM Punk on Tough Enough--
He wrote the following about Miss USA Rima Fakih: So far this rima broad needs to take her padding and cover her weird face.
He wrote the following about Ariane Andrew, the first contestant to be eliminated: I know this Arianne as, "tampon girl". Maybe I'll tell the
story...
I'm not even sure I want to know the story behind that.
Punk a couple of weeks ago:
hey punk, at wrestlemania who will win in the match undertaker vs HHH.� THE WWE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome. And when asked if he's looking forward to going to Ireland: "No."
Worth following.
Apparently, @therock is pimping Team Bring It with motivational tweets. Also, he apparently does live chats on Facebook every Friday at noon, presumably answering questions like "y u hate Sena so much? He#s teh aaaaaaaawesome. omg!"

I heard about Bin Laden's death from a tweet by The Rock. Apparently, he smells what America is cooking.
From Steve Corino:
With Bin Laden dead what's the chance Ian Rotten runs a "Osama Bin Laden Memorial Show"?
And I love that Tom Green of all people was apparently the first to alert everyone of Osama's death on Twitter.
Wrestlers react to the news (a list of Tweets from guys we know):

Yeah. He basically tweeted "to everyone complaining about [huge spoiler] don't you think it might be part of a bigger plan?"
Then when people complained about the spoiler, he acted like revealing there might be a plan was the spoiler.
On the plus side, I guess I'll be less upset now when I see it happen.
Jericho probably said he didn't know what the plan was because he thought people would think he was part of the plan. I haven't seen a wrestler post as big a spoiler as Jericho did, and not really care. Kinda douchey. Especially when not everyone reads spoilers.

I don't understand any of that CM Punk thing though... who is LadyDragonFox?
[Edited on 5-9-2011 by punkerhardcore]
Punk had tweeted "kill the irishman" for some reason. Not sure if he meant Sheamus or some random punk rock thing. I think that's what she was
responding to.
Also, I love that bakeanddestroy chick that he retweets sometimes.
Punk tweeted "KILL THE IRISHMAN"
Apparently it's a line from some Val Kilmer movie.
I'm guessing LadyDragonFox (retarded name) linked "IRISHMAN" to Sheamus and tweeted to Punk.
Punk then requested and received: http://i.imgur.com/Pe8Ml.jpg
What's up with the Austin vs Shark stuff? Austin constantly posts it.
The best one was when Austin posted "my WM28 opponent" and it was him standing next to a guy in a sharksuit and Austin vest, then Punk tweeted back
"stop ducking me."
Cena spreading the Zack Ryder love after last night's RAW:
"Got to punish a ry. Set and I quit match for over the limit with miz. But nothing beat the fist pumping broski. Thanks for the lesson zack."
Cena is doing a thing on Twitter that if you go to a certain parking lot with a sign that mentions Cena & Zack Ryder, you can get free tix to the
"entertainment" (or an upgrade if already have tix).
CM Punk responded...
"WWE fans in Highland Heights Kentucky: if you bring signs for Cena/Ryder, I will be in the parking lot...to point and laugh at you."
Man...I love Punk!!!
Beat me to it.
Also, WWE posted that Regal has the same birthday as Sid Vicious, the sex pistols singer, not the former champion. And Joey styles added..."and master
technician."

Paul Heyman is making headlines today with some controversial remarks about how WWE is handling the career of Nexus leader CM Punk.
Amid reports that CM Punk is unhappy behind the scenes and is considering leaving WWE when his contract expires later this year, Paul Heyman wrote on
Twitter (@heymanhustle):
"I'm sure he will get heat for me saying this, but @CMPunk is STILL the most underutilized talent on the WWE roster. And my apologies to @CMPunk
for the heat he'll get, but come on already. Punk is the best heel in the biz today! WAKE THE F**K UP! It's amazing to me (and not in a good
way) that WWE doesn't see how @CMPunk has brought out the best in every opponent."
CM Punk caught wind of Paul Heyman's rant and responded with:
"oh you know me, if I don't have heat I'm doing something wrong. Keeps me warm."
WWE Hall of Fame Steve Austin, who has exchanged words with Punk over Twitter in recent weeks, quoted Paul Heyman's tweet and added, "Agreed."
There's been a lot of meeting between Punk and Austin., and Heyman just hiked in to ask about "one more match." Seems like they really want to tease us with the awesome possibilities.

"As classic as Savage-Steamboat WM3 is, I think Warrior at WM7 is the best example of how incredible Randy was. Best Warrior match ever"

We really should thank Tommy for giving us a new toy that's just way too much fun to ever put away.
Alternate Rock Tweet - I gave Mick Foley brain damage - I won.
Cena fan: "pink trunks, yellow knee pads? How gay are you? I'm returning your action feagure to the store. I'll choose @JohnCena
instead."
Cena: "Please don't. It was a tribute to randy savage. It was f'n awsome. I was proud to be out there with him."
Foley has posted a link to a video of that incident in Germany where he lost his ear. You actually see it fall off his head as he swings for Vader
:-D
http://youtu.be/fQ3pdpd-ApU
Surprised he didn't also tell the guy not to call things gay, or hate on gay things etc. Especially with all the anti-bullying bs.
Real-life Cena (videos of him backstage, non-kayfabe tweets from him, etc.) really makes me want a Cena character on TV that I can get behind. It
sucks because I know it will probably never happen.
And the video of Foley's ear being torn off... damn. The ref just picks it up and gets it out of the ring. Amazing how you wouldn't be able
to even realize anything went wrong if it weren't for the ear obviously falling to the mat and the ref picking it up. Foley brushes it off like
it was a stubbed toe.
So velvet sky has been raising money for Helms VIA Twitter, and @therealpl (apparently Paul London) tweets "so helms is a drunk jackass and now
he's getting charity from his ex-sank who should be helping her current bc instead?"
Now, I agree helms doesn't deserve any charity, but this seems sort of unnecessary. Is there history here or has London turned into a total
jackass? Or does he now hate all Omega guys?
I wouldn't be surprised to hear he just hates the Omega guys. But Sabin was injured in a wrestling match, while Helms was injured in a motorcycle accident. Sabin's surgery was done on his leg, while Helms needed surgery on his leg, ankle, jaw, nose, and who knows what else? According to Wiki, he received over 200 stitches. Completely different situations that London neglected to take into account during his trashing.
^Not to mention Sabin was hurt while working for TNA, so I'd guess TNA would be paying for it. Whereas Helms likely isn't insured, and if
he was and was DUI than he surely won't be covered.
Looking at Bret Hart's twitter handle - does he know what a Shart is?
[Edited on 5-29-2011 by C.MontgomeryPunk]
After velvet explained the difference, and basically called London a douche, someone else pointed out that London might have understood Sabin's situation if he actually had a job.
Foley's ear being ripped off was more brutal than I imagined. That's cool that something like that can come to the light these days.
I don't mean to derail the London is a dick talk, but how long is Sabin out? I never hear TNA injury stuff because it seems no one reports it.
What was his injury? I know it was what happened on tv, but I mean like specifics.
This may be a link of interest in the future...

The Hogan/Warrior Twitter feud is just awesome. Both guys are such delusional, awful, pompous windbags that it's really hard to take a side, but Hogan defending Knobbs mocking Savage's death because "they were really tight so it's OK" pretty much adds to the list of things to hope Hogan gets covered in honey and thrown into a pit of bears and fireants for.

Recent CM Punk tweet-

Of course why would the wwe push a wrestler looking to take an extended break from the company?
Technically, that was just him retweeting one of his fan's comments.
This morning, C.M. Punk & Stone Cold Steve Austin exchanged on Twitter...

An FCW WWE developmental wrestler from the little bits that I've been able to scrap together makes about $50k a year, minus accomadations and travel, but does have access to medical personel or trainers. You can take off $1-2k for the stupid tryout fee the WWE makes everyone pay, but otherwise I can understand why people are willing to pay the fee.
Not to start a WWE vs TNA thing again over TNA not paying some talent a living wage thing, but someone really needs to reign in the use of the expensive over the hill add no value guys that they bring in from time to time and start building and taking care of the in house guys more.

It was Taylor and from what I remember it was a big part of why she chose to retire from the biz altogether. She also wanted to go back to school

[Edited on 6-17-2011 by Paddlefoot]
I love Taylor Wilde even more now.
I can get that in some cases like Justin Credible (?) working at the Olive Garden, as I think it was Foley who commented that outside of wrestling the
guy's passion was to be a chef, and getting beat up for a living ain't forever. But yeah, gotta agree CiG, it is pretty shocking to find out
how little some of these guys make working for TNA.
By comparison, Jericho wrote in his Lion tale book that in 1996 he was making close to $100K* doing all the indy touring and frequent trips to Japan.
Granted he was a pretty big indy name, and Japan was pretty exclusive with its invites, so they were probably the more lucrative part of it, but
you'd still think working for the #2 wrestling promotion in America you wouldn't need food stamps to live.
So yeah, don't go into wrestling if you want to make money I guess, cause even most minor league pro sports would seem to pay better by
comparison.
* He never actually said what he made, but that when he signed with WCW he wanted to do better than his best indy year, but also bluffed the
numbers. I think he said he asked for $100 k, got $130/yr, plus another $30 k for living expenses each year
Comparing low end WWE to low end TNA is apples to oranges. Paying per appearance and without a no compete is different from an exclusive contract. TNA pays less, but you still can work indy dates...
I was giving the Jericho numbers more for the kind of money he was making pre-WCW as a comparison to TNA, ditto for FCW which is a developmental
organization which really should be the bottom of the barrel in terms of the big leagues.
I do believe that TNA made a stink about their talent working indy shows, or at least handed them a list of shows they weren't allowed to work,
which would include I'm guessing higher paying indy's like ROH (Bubba and D-Von for example could work for Prairie Wrestling Alliance up in
Alberta, so they can do some indy's, unless a special case was made as Lance Storm is the booker for that fed and those two are bigger stars).
I'm assuming there must be some restrictions on what TNA talent can do because Neal is qualifying for food stamps and you'd like to think
that given the choice between being on the dole and making more money/getting your name out there he'd choose the later...although to be fair him
and his girlfriend could just be unmotivated and lazy about seeking out indy dates.
I just see it as really bad press for TNA. I get that they don't have all the cash in the world, but as a company to have it known that I'm
marketing myself as a major player but have employee's waitressing to pay the bills or on food stamps to eat, I'd probably just outright cut
some guys loose (I realize that's harsher), or in a perfect world choose how I spend my top dollars a little better in order to keep the rank and
file a little happier, fatter, and loyal.
Oh, who cares? Doesn't anybody remember when ODB (the dead rapper - not the ugly Knockout) showed up live on MTV in a limosine to pick up his welfare check???
Last night, Punk and Stone Cold had another back-&-forth, also including Steven Regal...
Punk: "@XChadballX: @CMPunk Dirty Rotten Scoundrels!� Saw it in the theater!!!"
Austin: "Dirty. Rotten. Scoundrel...yeah...that describes you to a T... im glad i could "set the wheels in motion" for you...word"
Punk: "Hello. Steven. Wooooord"
Regal: "you two need to fight and get it over with.�
Punk: "Oh, you little shit disturber...you ruined my movie."
Austin: "uh...hello...PUNK...i am turning in for the evening...never forget...that your only a split second away from a STONE COLD STUNNER..."
Punk: "I hope you have night terrors. Goodnight!"
Regal: "How dare you call me little"
Punk: � Kenny Baker!?!?"
Austin: "im cashing in my chips for the evening folks...good night."
Punk: "Remember Steven, Everybody at one time or another, goes to sleep"
Regal: "Except me and you."
Punk: "Proper villians."

Do with that as you wish.
Other Twitter stuff from today and as a whole...
Just following Austin in general, he seems to be taking a very Jericho-like mentoring stance with a lot of the young guys in the WWE (throwing Punk in
there even though he's not young at all). Perhaps its come from Tough Enough, but he seems to be more active with talking to them...between
Ryder and Ziggler and others before...I think its only a good thing to have these guys who have been superstars in the past to help the next
generation.
Austin probably sees something similar to the Ryder situation as he faced in WCW, lets be honest who couldn't see Zack squashed by Hacksaw right
now?
Perhaps he hopes if they get a "rub" through being associated with him Vince will pay a little more attention.
Here's Kofi Kingston with the mind-bender of all mind-benders:

is interesting, but comes off sounding like a fascinated child in a lot of his tweets. He, Charlie Haas, and Shelton all had back and forths today.
More frequent tweeters are indy guys like Claudio Castagnoli, Chris Hero, which are both solid and pretty funny. Castagnoli replies frequently to
fans. Honky Tonk man is all about his podcast and his shitty cafepress.com merchandise. I think I'll do him a solid and try and design a logo
for him, cause he needs it. "WWEKatieVick" is pretty funny and so is the "DumbKellyKelly".
Is the Hacksaw one real though? It says not the real Hacksaw... also I don't see one of those verified account checkmarks on his twitter, but
then again it could be that he's not a big enough celeb to warrant that?
Whoever it is certainly say's some bizarre things though...
I think Alberto Del Rio is gonna win Money In The Bank cause he's probably so used to working with ladders from when he painted houses.
When I wrestle it's always a handicap match. HooOooOoo! I'm always fighting the idea of math. 2x4= BEATDOWNS!
Bella Twins speak English gooder! Learn how to talk you HooOooOooes! USA! USA! USA! Don't trash talk the manager of my spank bank! ;Q
I wonder what John Cena with a mustache would look like? I think a pervert... like a strong pervert. #TeamHooOooOoo ;Q
John Cena should really wear socks with those running shoes. You can't see me but I can see athletes foot. USA! Wear boots you jackass! ;Q
With that mustache it looks like CM Punk will be taking the WWE Title to the set of a Porno. HooOooOoo! USA!
Vader was actually just 500 cheeseburgers held together with rubber-bands. Shhh. Keep a secret tough guys!
... ect

@TheDrewMcIntyre on Tuesday:
McIntyre cannot be killed by conventional weapons nor 15 foot falls to concrete, I'm Celtic!!
Michelle Bradley, the new Erin Andrews (aka ESPN's latest moderately attractive chick who is considered superhot because she likes sports), was apparently live tweeting Raw. CM Punk has almost made wrestling cool again.
I think you mean Michelle Beadle.
Sorry, you lost me at calling Erin Andrews "moderately attractive"
(Deleted - Flammable was correct, no sense leaving a clearly erroneous post up) Punk has blonde sports anchors following him, not too shabby.

I did mean Beadle. Stupid autocorrecting phone.
She didn't live tweet the ppv, but I think she was live tweeting Raw.

Darren Rovell, a sports business reporter for CNBC, noted on his Twitter account that last night's angle on Raw in which Vince McMahon was relieved of his duties of WWE chief and replaced by his son-in-law, Triple H, may cause issues with WWE stock.
"The No. 1 material risk against WWE stock is Vince McMahon leaving the business," Rovell wrote. "Tonight's plot could be an SEC violation."
To be fair, he has a point. You aren't allowed to put out false info to investors....
I'd love to see the idiot who would go to court and testify that he was fooled by a tv show.
"It's still real to me, damn it!"
Plus, wouldn't the stock go up if he was really gone?
Either way could be considered manipulation...
Yeah, that's the only problem with this whole "Punk-era" angle they're running: they used potentially real-life contractual stuff to run an angle that's pretty much broken the fourth wall since its inception. And it doesn't help that Vince just busted out one of the better emotional performances in wrestling history yesterday with his waterworks at the news of getting "relieved of duty". Take that into account with the fact that WWE's investors already aren't that in tune with reality to begin with and, yeah, WWE investors might actually be able to make money soon.

Or when he was fucking blown up in his limo.
My understanding of what was said on TV by HHH is that Vince was relieved of his duties as CEO of the Board. not fired or kicked out of WWE.
So his presence, per whatever that CNBC dude is talking about, is still there. Just not in the same position he once had.
Punk's new tagline for his twitter account.
"Unemployed WWE Champion..."
Saw all this on Lords of Pain, found it amusing--
quote:
Former WWE star Gene Snitsky, who took shots at The Miz throughout his reign as WWE Champion via Twitter, continues to belittle his former colleague.
During Chavo Guerrero's Twitter diatribe of John Cena on Saturday, the third generation grappler took a potshot at The Miz. He wrote, "And frankly no one believes it anymore. If Miz can kick your ass then the clerk at the store can kick your ass, so please deliver if you say that.."
The former Heat headliner wholeheartedly agreed with Chavo's critical assessment of The Miz.
"Well said chavo!" Snitsky typed. "Wtf is seriously scared of the fukn Miz? Ru kiddin me!!!!"
A follower of Snitsky's said The Miz "is awesome," to which he replied, "RU fukn kiddin me? Heez a putz and i mean that."
He also ripped WWE Monday night for trying to insult the fans' intelligence by implying that John Cena would be dismissed from the organization.
"Well here we go again with the wwe trying to insult our intelligence!" Snitsky wrote. "Does anyone really think John Cena is gettin fired? Wtf cmon rukidinme."
quote:
Former WWE talent Gene Snitsky posted multiple inflammatory remarks this afternoon on his Twitter account in response to widespread criticism over his unfavorable view of The Miz.
"Love the haters on twitter!!!! I beat the miz in 30 secs and he could nvr hold my jockstrap! Im a div 1 athelete, former NFL player! Fags," he wrote.
"Do your research you fuckin no life pieces of shit! Lmao... Anyof you mommys boys ever accomplish nethin b sides sniffin ur moms panties.
"Get out of your mommys basement and stop jerkin off to gay porn u wanna beez!!!!! Rotflmao at these nerds!!!!
He also called a follower of his a "retard" in response to a remark that The Miz has a job. The former Heat Superstar then boasted that he's featured in WWE's upcoming video release, OMG! The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History, while The Miz isn't.
"Oh and dont 4get im on the top 50 omg moments in WWE!!! Haha jackasses! Dont c miz on there!!!!! You DMF's," he wrote. "My time is money.... You idiots arent worth either! Lol peace out to all my beloved fans!!!! Have a wonderful day."
Snitsky capped off his diatribe by saying that fans of The Miz are "Mizarks."
quote:
Former WWE star Gene Snitsky claimed Tuesday afternoon that his Twitter account was hacked after a homophobic diatribe was posted minutes earlier in response to widespread criticism over his unfavorable view of The Miz. He claims the account fell into the wrong hands and that he actually has the utmost respect for the WWE Superstar.
"It's come to my attention someone has hacked my acct!!! Some people just have way too much time on their hands! Ill b deleting this acct," he wrote.
"Sorry if this acct has fallin into the wrong hands! Thanks to all my wonderful fans!!!!! Keep an eye out for new acct coming soon!
"I personally have the utmost respect for mike and enjoyed workin w him! Im sure he will say the same! Sorry again for twitter hackers!
"Ill do my best to find out who is Responsible, im truely sorry to those who were offended! Thanks again! From the REAL Snitsky."
He deleted the account shortly after his post. Coincidentally, the hacker's diatribe and Snitsky's apology both originated from an iPhone in Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania.

No Snitsky, we don't see Miz on there. But you know what we DO see? We see the Miz main eventing Wrestlemania and beating John Cena. Word.
Snitsky's a fuckin' jerk, trying to blame his meltdown on some innocent homophobes.

An innocent question, and one that many of us have been asking ourselves lately, too. She looks unnaturally thin at times, but like has been said
before, she's probably just naturally thin and working out tones her up and makes her look even thinner.

So this is how they're doing Punk/Cena :
Cena on Twitter said:
"punk beat me for title and technically has 30 days to defend it. Its a weird situation."
Ah, the old "use it or lose it" law.
Angelina responded with this, apparently somewhat annoyed with all the skinny talk:
�@HardHitter860: @REALLiSAMARiE @actualalove no man wants a piece of A. Love until she gains 1 or 2 or 40 lbs.� WOW that's original!!!
It would have been a lot funnier though if she'd been responding back to someone named HardHitler860 instead.
[Edited on 7-30-2011 by Paddlefoot]
Didn't Joe just re-sign with TNA, and the wwe showed little interest? I think Joe burnt any wwe bridge and now made his bed and will lie in it.
He's buried and misused in TNA and probably would be better off heading to back to ROH with the ability to do tours of Japan.
Joe seems to hard in the head to realize that while nobody is asking him to be muscled up and ripped that he could afford to lose 40lbs and hit the
gym a bit.
He's more a big fish in a small pond kind of guy.
Regarding Black/Moxley or as they're now known Rollins/Ambrose they're matches were taped recently but haven't aired yet. They'll
air in about a months time.

John Cena nude photo controversy on Twitter?
- Over the weekend, John Cena posted a nude photo of himself on Twitter. In the photo, his penis was covered, and he stated that the photo was a
gift for those who had been asking for it. A few hours later, the photo was deleted and there has been no mention of it since. Many people were
surprised that Cena would do something like this, due to the fact that he is a big supporter of the company's attempts to market themselves to
such a young demographic.
Well I hope for the sake of the kids he wasn't doing the five knuckle shuffle, if you know what I mean.
Batista shows off more walking down the street...
I'd venture this was oriented at the Dwayne.

Strange how Joey Styles didn't retweet that. Has Cena come out yet to say his account was hacked?
Also, I really hope Punk makes some obscure reference to this, something about pandering to fans and giving out gifts on twitter.

I would love to see R-Truth go off on how big jimmy and momma jimmy don't appreciate their little jimmies seeing that.

Punk did walk to both sides of the ramp last week, got some loud cheers, and could start shifting merchandise. Cena could go heel for the Survivor Series to WM run if they think it'll help the buyrate.
Jericho on Twitter:
"Everyone is so excited that @CMPunk mentioned me on Raw. Newsflash...I don't give a shit. Mind ur own business and stop rippin me off
Punk".
PLEASE give us a returning Jericho versus Punk to really determine who is the "Best in the World"... I can't be the only one remembering
Jericho's last run where he told us over and over that he was the best in the world at what he does. Ready-made feud much?
Just because I wanted one of my own up here:
natecorbitt 2:19pm via HootSuite
RT @ShopTNA: You've begged for some Crimson gear at ShopTNA . Now...it has arrived. *** NO ONE has begged for Crimson gear.
From Punk:
"@jrsbbq Is @cmpunk best in the world. T shirt says so. I reserve my take until Summerslam. Can MITB be topped?" Commentary will be better.
Awesome.
But the commentary won't be better. If Monday was any indication, Cole is just going to get worse.
Tyler Black/Seth Rollins: Tomorrow night will be the biggest night in FCW history. There is a revolution on the cusp of sweeping over WWE, and it begins tomorrow.
This is only tangentially related to twitter, but assuming @Btrain87 is Btrain, a bOOarder just got mentioned in a Grantland.com column.
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6851570/john-cena-villain
Kudos.
(I stopped reading at the Btrain mention, but it's a good read so far.
Grantland may be my favourite website discovery of the year even though I don't really follow american sports. Every article on there is
brilliant.
in other news punk sells merch:
@JRsBBQ: @CMPunk hottest selling shirt in years. Buy it folks. Cause an upheaval . Punk revolution could be imminent.
and then there's this on Johnny Ace:
@CM Punk
�@SeanGrandePBP: Vince McMahon's right hand for the last 10 years was Super Dave Osborne?� I've been calling him Funkhauser since '09!

Between hugging Barney and his goofyass smile/thumbs-up after his Summerslam win and the hilarious 80s aerobics split he did a couple of weeks back, I'd say Orton doesn't have "anger management" issues; he has schizophrenia.

Read on the news sites today that (supposedly) Melina wants $3,000 per appearance, plus first class air and hotel. Which led this this funny
exchange:
quote:
It was reported earlier today that a promoter who reached out to former WWE talent Melina Perez to book her for an independent wrestling event was informed by her representative that she is asking for $3,000 per appearance, as well as first class travel and hotel accommodations. Reigning PWG World Champion Kevin Steen, who has competed on the independent circuit for over ten years, made fun of the former WWE Diva's reported asking fee.
He wrote on Twitter, "$3000 plus first class air and hotel?! Fuck...I've been charging way too little..."
A Twitter user then asked Steen, "Is there any real evidence that claim is accurate?" He responded, "Who cares?! I want to make fun of it. So it's true."
Ring of Honor talent Colt Cabana also lampooned Melina's reported demands, writing to Steen on Twitter: "My wrestling fee has now gone from 2 diet cokes and a cupcake to 3 bajillionfajillion dollars... Pay up promoters!"
Steen then wrote a message predicting that John Morrison will follow Melina's lead out of WWE and work indy shows alongside her. He wrote to Cabana: "I think that once her boyfriend gets released, promoters can save on (transportation) and book both of them. She'll just ride with him."
Anarchy Championship Wrestling promoter Darin Childs also gave his take on the matter, writing on the microblogging website, "As a promoter I should never do things like this, buuuut can we all LOL together at Melina's appearance demands?"
Meanwhile, Melina garnered numerous messages today on her Twitter account regarding the claim and privately indicated to some users that it is untrue.
I'll repeat it; John Morrison is the dumbest man in wrestling today, maybe ever. Even dumber than Jeff Hardy.
Everyday it seems Morrison takes a step closer to confirming that he is the Janetty between him and the Miz. If he leaves the WWE it will have be confirmed. Shame too, the guy has good skills but is basically a male Diva.
Qonas:
I just showed my wife that photo & her exact words were:
"after Wilfred, his bear & giraffe, I'm terrified about what happens after that picture was taken"
Even I wasn't thinking that disturbed!
Is the wwe trying to "guerrilla market" the Young Bucks and brash, disrespectful punks for an eventual wwe run or is the wwe now calling out try-outs
publicly for not doing the ol "introduce yourself/shake hand/know-your-role" bit?
First it was Booker T -
Booker brought up how Rob Van Dam trashed Generation Me a few weeks back and said a "small tag team called the YB's" didn't even shake his
hand. Booker also added that the former TNA stars didn't introduce themselves to him when he walked by and later, one of them was leaning on his
jacket and still never introduced himself to Booker.
Than Goldust, a agent, chimed in -
"As booker says.....better show some respect when in the locker room, there are good teachers here that know more than you young bucks.... Just a
reminder....if trying out for wwe....extend your hand,be polite and respectfull and do what your told."
Sounds to me like a Booker T and Goldust reunion to feud with the Young Bucks!

I hate to sound like a d-bag, guys, but I'm pretty sure that's fake. The account has like four tweets, all on the same day, and 98
followers.
http://twitter.com/#!/AlexNXT
However, @AlexRileyWWE has over 52, 000 followers.
If it is a fake, someone at WWE fucked up and linked to that Twitter page from A-Ry's WWE bio page.
I'm having a real hard time believing that's his real account. I think it's more likely that it used to be his account name when he was
on NXT, and someone took it over when he switched to the @WWE account.
It is weird that WWE wouldn't have fixed the link from their page yet, though. Or used their pull to get the whole account/tweet taken down.
Huh...
Michael McGillicutty and others have been tweeting to the WWE Riley twitter and its been tweeting back. The back-and-forth seems to be like they're continuing conversations that they've had in-person. Thus, the NXT is likely fake.

Chavo railing on John Cena again:
Guerrero also asked his Twitter followers, "How many of u are tired of John Cena being champion? Don't get all excited, it's just a
question." He wrote moments later, "Wow...it's an overwhelming "tired of Cena" response! It's not me, it's all the fans. I could
literally retweet hundreds of tired responses!"
Guerrero continued, "Now, my opinion...Cena is better than me on the mike,but I could out wrestle Cena with my eyes closed and 1 hand tied behind my
back! Truth!
"Some are saying that Cena is a great athlete. Really? C'mon. Are u blind? I know Cena & I could beat him in any sport except weight lifting!
"Golf, basketball, bowling, a race, tennis, horseshoes, hitting a baseball pitch, catching a football...anything!!!!
"Lol...some1 just said Cena is a better athlete than Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior! Lol are u retarded? No offense to a challenge person."
Whoa...Chavo is a jealous Guerrero!!
Chavo, Cena wrestled an almost sixty minute match with HBK and had a one hour Iron Man match with Randy Orton at one point. Is John Cena a great
athlete? Yes. Why?? It takes a ton of endurance and stamina to pull out the performances he did in the matches mentioned above. So tweet away,
Chavito! Until you started ranting on Cena I was a fan of yours...now you're just a bitter old guy!! You could be putting on great matches for
WWE right now but you decided to leave the company
Chavo has Cena, Val Venis has basically everyone else, what former star who had a long career, but fans only gave a shit about 2 years of it will lash out next? I'm going to bet on Buff Bagwell.
I think we're safe from Buff- I don't know that he can read or write.

It looks like some fellows are trying to mix storyline and reality again:

@CMPunk
I think a lot of people are missing the point. Fans and coworkers alike. Walking out is a pussy move. There's a huge difference ...in what I did. I want change, and I can't change shit from my couch. I'm in the fox hole. I'm getting it done. I stayed to fight......and I'm fighting for change. You can protest, violently or peacefully without actually showing up. Walking out isn't a solution......at least not one that I've ever seen work. Hold 'em up. Make them change. Don't just walk out, or lay down. Fight. This goes for fans......as well. Bored? Don't like @johncena ? Want more @ZackRyder ? Show up and be heard. Don't be a pussy and just tweet about it. I want change, and I'll stand and fight for it even if I'm alone. Popular or unpopular, I could care less. Take your voting and shove it.
Actions speaks louder than words. Except mine. My words are pretty awesome. No think about all that, and hopefully you'll get it.
Too many tweets from me. Misspellings abound. You CAN'T protest without showing up. I am not Gandhi. I will kick your face.
quote:
@RealKingRegal
Some people have asked about the walkout on Raw.My personal reasons for my action was that I think HHH has enough on his plate being the COO.I know exactly what it takes to be in charge of Raw and it comes at a dear price(or it did with me).HHH is in charge of the WWE.He needs to concentrate on the company as a whole and put a suitable candidate in charge of the Raw brand. Although we haven't had much to do with each other(apart from the odd scuffle)18 years ago myself and HHH where very close. We choose separate paths but my heart went out to him last night as for whatever has happened in our respective lives,we where once friends. I don't agree with the superstars on any of there reasons for walking out on HHH.I just want him to share some of his burden. And I hope this message gets to him and he respects my view.
if that leads to Regal becoming the Raw GM once again, I am ALL FOR IT
At least everything Jomo said can fit into the storyline.

Jericho says he is done with WWE.
He also said he was going to concentrate on dancing. Somehow, I don't think he's serious.
It seems like Matt Hardy's doing just fine himself, too.

Triple H over the weekend granted a rare interview to The Morning Buzz. He said Twitter is a priority for WWE right now, and just recently became a top priority after the social networking site was explained to Vince McMahon. �You have to be at the cutting edge of that technology at all time. Kids today, they don�t watch TV like they did before. TV is almost a background device now,� he said. �They�re on their phone, on their laptop, on their ipod� so that social media stuff becomes so important � Twitter and YouTube and Facebook are all just avenues to keep people involved in your product.� Hunter went on to say that while the company is embracing Twitter as a positive, equally it can also be a negative. He revealed that just the other day during a talent meeting he told everyone to be careful with their Tweets. �I said, �Guys, it�s not like your texting somebody. You�re putting it out to the entire world. If you wouldn�t say it on TV, don�t say it on Twitter.�� He cited NFL football players making stupid comments every other week, and said the catch twenty-two is controlling it. When asked about his new office role and working closely with Vince, he said he�s learned over time that when Vince is going nuts and yelling at people then it�s OK, but when you come up to him and he�s silent, then that�s very bad. Hunter also talked about his relationship with The Rock describing it as �unique� with �professional tension and weirdness.� He says they get along great today but aren�t buddies and never hung out back in the day. �We had such a professional rivalry, no matter what we did, it�s like screw him, I can do better than that.� He closed the interview by talking about Shawn Michaels and appearing on his hunting show earlier this year. He joked: �Shawn has gone from The Heartbreak Kid to being like Ted Nugent. He�s out there with high powered weapons, with the one googley eye, just shooting every furry thing that wanders by. He�s been dying for me to go on [his show]� I just don�t get sitting in a tree saying nothing waiting for a deer to wander by so I can cap it in the head� We used crossbows [to catch Alligator's] and much to Shawn�s chagrin I caught the biggest Alligator, but yeah it was an awesome experience and I had a lot of fun.�

Someone in marketing is getting fired and then rehired just so they can be fired again.
Just Hogan being Hogan--

Hulk Hogan praised Garett Bischoff's efforts to improve this morning, while also taking a shot at his peers.
Hogan tweeted, "Taping again in Orlando, Garrett seems to have found the magic. I only hope it rubs off on some of the other numbskulls."
With youngsters like Garret and that charismatic enigma the future of Our Sport truly is in good hands.
