My crazy work schedule continues, and it isn't slowing down anytime soon.  I just booked travel for work for the first three weeks of March to Michigan (shoot me).  Anyway...

 

I will have the NTWT Royal Rumble PPV Prediction Contest posted by the time Raw ends tonight.  I apologize they haven't been posted sooner, but I just haven't had time.  I will work on them straight through Raw until they are done.

 

Last week, Brock Lesnar made his (surprise) return to WWE laying out Vince McMahon with an F5, much to the falsified dismay of Paul Heyman.  Vince McMahon sold a broken hip from Brock's F5.  While Vince wasn't actually injured from the F5, he does in fact need hip surgery, and this is being used as the excuse.

 

Brock Lesnar will be on tonight's Raw.  He will also be on Raw on February 25th from Dallas, Texas, March 11th from Indianapolis, Indiana, and April 1st from Washington, DC.

 

I don't know if HHH will be on tonight's show, but he will be back soon so get revenge for Vince and set up his match with Brock.

 

Paul Heyman will be on miztv tonight.  Please, please, PLEASE GOD.  Don't make a farmer.  Make Brock Lesnar snap miz's neck and end his career on the spot.  I hope he never walks again.

 

 

The Rock will NOT be at tonight's Raw.  This will be the only Raw that The Rock misses between now and WrestleMania.  Undoubtably CM Punk will get plenty of shots in on Mr. Hollywood.

 

Elimination Chamber is 13 days away.  I figure we will get a Cena, Sheamus, Orton vs The Shield match set up tonight, possibly inside the Elimination Chamber.

 

 

 

 

 

BRUNO SAMMARTINO, “THE LIVING LEGEND”
 
TO ENTER WWE® HALL OF FAME
 
STAMFORD, Conn., February 4, 2013 – WWE (NYSE:WWE) announced today that Bruno Sammartino will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at a ceremony on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at Madison Square Garden.
 
Sammartino, nicknamed “The Living Legend,” is a two-time WWE Champion and the longest reigning WWE Champion in history, holding the title for a combined 11 years.  His first title reign began on May 17, 1963, where he defeated “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers at Madison Square Garden.  After losing the Championship in 1971, he regained the title on December 10, 1973, defeating Stan Stasiak at Madison Square Garden, holding the Championship until April 30, 1977.  When he retired from the ring, Sammartino became a color commentator for WWE’s syndicated Superstars program and stepped back into the ring on special occasions.  After his departure in 1988, Sammartino was openly critical of WWE, and for many years declined the offer to be inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame, citing concerns with WWE’s content and culture. 
 
“For my fans around the world, I am pleased to be joining the WWE Hall of Fame, especially at Madison Square Garden,” said Bruno Sammartino. 
 
“Having sold out more than 200 shows at Madison Square Garden and being the longest reigning WWE champion in history, Bruno Sammartino is truly ‘The Living Legend,’” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO.  “This is an extraordinary and historic moment to have Bruno take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame.”
 
 
 
 
Much more on this tonight and tomorrow as Dave Meltzer is very close to Bruno and will have a lot of insight on the situation.

Looking forward to tonight's show. I'm a long time wrestling fan, but never got to see Sammartino wrestle so it's not as relevant to me but I know he's a legend and is very deserving of the Hall of Fame, so I'm glad the WWE (HHH from what I'm hearing) patched things up with him at least to induct.
I'm amused by the simplicity of this game. Bring me the finest meats and cheeses in all the land

4w, correct me if I'm wrong. 

 

I think it's because Bruno hates what Vince did to the industry. Made it too gimmicky and corporate. Bruno is a wrestling purist if there ever was one

Rhodes Scholars split up, Team Hell No will probably be split up, Sin Cara/Rey is probably not even a tag team anymore, and now PTP possibly done?

The newest tag team we got to replace them is just Brodus and Albert. laugh.gif

mean.gif I know. I wanted them to get the gold, cause the promos and stuff would've been hilarious
