Onslaught,
you'll help make sure we're around for years to come. Toss us as little as
a few bucks, or as much as your generosity allows. Thanks!
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 "
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

Just to keep with the wrestling/Twitter vibe of this thread, CM Punk apparently tweeted this to John Cena:
Ultimate GCS

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.
Yep, I remembered that too, and just spent the better part of an hour looking for it.

His response was basically: the "boys" love to work with him. He won't show you up; he may pitch a hissy fit, but he will not actually
out-talent you or upstage you. 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...

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.
Seems to be a pretty funny guy

You don't even need to follow your friends and they can't make you. They can only follow you.
Right now, I just follow some sportswriters, comedians and wrestlers (Jerichos/Miz are decent though Jerichos talks too much Fozzy). Oh, and Cobra

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
