The Official Wrestlemania XXIX Thread

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

I do hope you have all read Bret Harts book, that is quite a read whether you like him or not...no 4 out of 10 for it either

I've read Jericho's two (third out end of this year) and love them but not read Bret's yet...though i'm sure I wouldn't put it in my top 1000 wrestling books

History of Stampede Wrestling is a good book if you like the Harts

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Did you know Brett Hart fought over here against Big Daddy and wrestled at the Dome as did Owen Hart ?

Yes but only because of the book! Madness haha.

I've also read both of Jerichos books and they are a decent read. I'm not a massive Bret Hart fan but his book is a real page turner.

I'm sure I will give it a read some time. At the moment I'm reading Eric Bischoffs book, I can't comment on how good or bad it is just yet as I'm only a handful of pages through.

I was there

Excellent! He (Bret) mentioned Giant Haystacks in the book as well.

Just caught up on wrestlemania. Only watch the odd ppv these days but I was impressed by taker. Seen the odd performance over the years where I think he should be put out to pasture but in a below part wm was noticeable how well he builds a match
Particular testament to his craft, and perhaps his decline, was how he usually gets one massive pop a year for going over the ropes at wm, while this year he got a massive pop just for looking like he was going to.
Now to re watch king of the ring 98 to see taker drag a semi conscious mankind through most of a match.

Anyone heard anymore of the Rock's 'injury' ? Have a feeling that he won't be back again

No I've not but tbh would be quite happy to see him leave now. Must be crap for the morale of the dressing room when Rock shows up for a month or so and gets his ass kissed. Don't get me wrong, back in the day when wrestling was his full time job he was superb.

Oh dear! All of a sudden I am feeling very old. I remember watching the early American wrestling featuring Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Roddy Piper to mention just a few. Haven't seen any for a few years now. Probably still fixed though

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Probably still fixed though

No way! I think the word is predetermined

I remember when WWF used to be preceded by the Dukes of Hazzard and followed by Saturday nights edition of Baywatch and Gladiators.

Those were the days.

Ah, but the youth of today have X factor, Dancing on Ice, The Voice and Britains' Got Talent. How could we possibly compete with such a line up?

He tweeted early this morning that he was getting up for an early work out, then followed it with a tweet about how his doctors had warned him working out with a torn abdominal muscle would hurt.

There has been a fair bit in america media about HHH getting covered in dry ice, not so much about rock's injury.

Also, mick foley wrote in one of his books that his most painful injury ever was when he tore his abdominal muscle.

It certainly is suspicious.


On a side note, there is a video on YouTube that I won't link to for fear of google ads, of the Huston texans cheerleaders "fandangoing".

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

For anyone with twitter I'd recommend giving Fandango's page a look at after his exchanges today with Everton over their refusal to play his theme before their game tomorrow!

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Fandango's theme tune sounds very much like the theme tune to I dream of Jeannie.
