Didn't see Mania.
On to RAW. Seriously, one of the best shows ever, largely because of the awesome crowd. Massive Brit contingent there, clearly just fucking about.
Spoilers!
So much fun, was Raw.

I just listen to Colt Cabana podcasts now.
Fuji Vice!
Man, Jake looks good!
That DDP Yoga seems to be doing great stuff at the moment... Makes me feel kind of guilty for downloading it. 
Yeah, who'd've thought you can beat crack addiction by stretching.
I know I sound cynical, but I struggle to believe anything that comes out of a wrestlers mouth.

Fair play to the WWE...or is it another Jerry Lawler vs Andy Kauffman 'bit'?

Finally got to see the clip. That was brilliant. Perfectly done.
Holy arcing jets of salty jism! Savage vs Jushin Liger!
Madness! Undertaker vs Bruiser Brody!
The 'Anti Immigrant' story line has continued this week with Zeb Colter of the WWE calling out John Oliver as an Immigrant Rat taking an American's job (he's currently the temporary host of 'The Daily Show' while John Stewart directs a film).
Below is Oliver's response...

That's pretty amazing. More for the commentary than the Oliver promo, but wow. Good segment.
I miss the Daily Show!

John Oliver is one of my favourite people in the world.
I'm surprised they didn't change the show's title.

They probably contractually can't. Ego stuff. Sorry, branding.
That's what led to 'The Chris Moyles Breakfast Show, presented by Scott Mills', whenever the bully boy from Rothwelll went on his hols.
Brilliant excerpt of George Steele's book. I think I'm going to buy that.
Fuck you, chris!
I think I missed most of George Steeles time in the WWF because I started watching at Wrestlemania 6, but that book looks like it could be interesting.
I read Classy Freddie Blassie's book around the time of his death again, I didn't know much about his career but it was brilliant.

Professional wrestling was not exactly the set of The Waltons. Sometimes, the only thing warm and fuzzy about it was the hair on my chest and back.
I fully recommend watching the Scott Hall RFvideo shoot interview. He comes across as a very nice man. Hope he's able to overcome his demons before they kill him off.
On a whim, I watched the Bret Hart 'documentary' on Netflix a week or so back. Very strange it is. Oddly forced. I couldn't shake the feeling that there's a whole other layer to the wrestling world that sits between the kayfabe and the actual reality. Either that, or the wrestlers themselves have no idea what's real or fake.
I'm halfway through Hart's book now and he really does think that he's the best there was etc. His account of the Wembley Summerslam match with Davey Boy is not very accurate.
Like I said: Odd.

Add it to Grim...'s couch potato queue.
If you enjoyed that, try the exceptional Beyond the Mat. Both came out around the same time and had actually became enmeshed in my memory until I rewatched them a couple of year sago.

I have actually seen that on you tube a while back. That's the Mick Foley focused one, yes?
Foley and Jake Roberts, ar.
Finished Bret Hart's book. Might have got a bit of dirt in my eye towards the end.
I tried reading Bret's book, but my god, he's a mark for himself.

Yeah, he's genuinely convinced that he's the best there is, was and ever will be.
In other news, Yoshi Tatsu won a match!*

I'd buy a fucking ticket to see it live if that were the case.
Well Sting has been putting out feelers for the last few months after his cheques started coming in late. Rumours swirling it'd be for him vs Taker at the next Mania. He might've left it a bit late for maximum sponds. RVD seems to have timed his departure perfectly.
They've fired Tara to save money and their roster on the official website is woefully small.
To be honest, I'm surprised that they've gone for this long. Also, Sting vs The Undertaker will be excellent right up until the bell rings to start the match.

Christ alive, how old is Sting now?
He's 54.
Taker is 48 and he's pretty much fucked physically.

I reckon they ought to hire Warrior after his recent WWE14 advert and reform The Bladerunners.
Pritchard and D-Lo went yesterday. Pritchard might've gone because he failed to notice Doc's contract had expired. Can't see Wee Wee being too keen to rehire Festus, though.

Weeeee has a stacked enough roster as it is. Can only see a couple of TNA folk who might get much of a run there.
Sting, Angle, Hardy... Magnus possibly.
Hardy and Angle come with some whopping great "wellness issues" though.
