WWE RAW SPOILERS: Oh my, did Jericho just hint that Mickey Rourke will be at ‘Mania 25?

Major RAW spoiler regarding the storyline with Mickey Rourke vs. Chris Jericho….scroll below….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, look like it’s going to be Jericho vs. Roddy Piper/ Ricky Steamboat/ Jimmy Snuka @ ‘Mania 25 w/ Ric Flair possibly in the corner. As Jericho challenged the match at ‘Mania on RAW tonight, he asked Mickey Rourke to attend ‘Mania by sitting at the front row.

My belief, that WWE privately asked Rourke to be at Wrestlemania 25 to attend the event by sitting in the front row to watch the Jericho vs. The Legends match, then Mickey Rourke joins in on the match by costing Jericho to lose it. Rourke to be part of the action at ‘Mania 25?

Who knows. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Report: Behind the scenes of the Triple H invades Randy Orton’s home segment on RAW last night…

  • The house that Triple H and Randy Orton filming in wasn’t really Randy Orton’s home. It was a house WWE rented in Florida just to film that one segment.
  • Randy Orton isn’t really married to that woman seen in that segment, the woman that played Randy Orton’s wife is actually a former Playboy model, Laura Croft. On Raw, Randy said he was married to that woman, named Samantha, which was played by Laura. In real life, Randy Orton is actually married to a woman named, Samantha Speno but looks like the actual Samantha didn’t want to act on TV.

Cool Video: Triple H and Randy Orton recreates Stone Cold vs. Brian Pillman segment on RAW last night…

As a way to celebrate 25 years of Wrestlemania, the WWE decided to remake a classic segment that was originally done by Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brian Pillman.

Remember the Stone Cold vs. Brian Pillman feud years back? Where they had Brian Pillman and his wife interviewed at his home, then they get attacked by Stone Cold? Well that segment was remade into a Triple H and Randy Orton version from last night’s RAW. Very cool homage to the late Brian Pillman! Great work WWE! 🙂

Check out the videos below.

Report: Three main event matches for “Wrestlemania 25” confirmed!!!

At Wrestlemania 25 this year, there will be three huge main event matches. The headlining main event will be “Randy Orton vs. Triple H for the WWE Champ”, then there is “Big Show vs. Edge for the Heavyweight title”, and then there is, “Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker”.

This means that John Cena does not have a match yet, leaving him options that he could wrestle against either Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hogan and Austin are both rumoured to be wrestling at ‘Mania this year, but not against each other. If Hogan is confirmed to wrestle John Cena this year, then Stone Cold will probably wrestle Jericho. Those are just rumoured plans for ‘Mania, but the confirmed matches above are definitely happening.

Is Mickey hinting us that he’s going to Wrestlemania?

Check out Mickey Rourke’s pics at the Spirit Awards, he’s holding a WWE World Champ belt from the RAW brand.

Is that a sign that Mickey changed his mind about dropping out of Wrestlemania, and he’s actually going to do it? I’m not sure if that belt that Mickey holding is the actual belt from WWE or a replica.

I’m on the look out for more pics of Mickey Rourke at the Spirit Awards.

RANT: Wrestlemania no longer needs the Hulkster, don’t get him!!!

Did you know that behind the scenes of the WWE that Vince McMahon tries to get Hulk Hogan to perform a match at Wrestlemania every year? Yep, I believe it’s true. They are trying to get Hogan to fight John  Cena at Wrestlemania 25 this year.

Honestly, I kind of lost my respect to the Hulkster since the Nick Hogan crash controversy, and the Linda/Hulk divorce battle. I don’t care to see Hulk Hogan in WWE anymore. Now he’s out doing some stupid reality show with Eric Bischoff, that I’ve been reading about, a celebrity wrestling kind of thing or something.

Stone Cold being at Wrestlemania 25 is fine with me, ’cause I actually am a longtime Stone Cold fan and still am. The Hulkster’s an asshole, and a douchebag. He lives in his own world that he thinks he invented profesional wrestling when that isn’t true at all.

Wrestlemania 25 will do fine without Hulk Hogan. I’m fine with the other legends from the past being a part of the show but anybody except Hulkamania. Hulk ruined his own life. Screwed his own family, screwed his own career. He went from big profesional legend to a sore loser.

I don’t ever want to see Hogan in WWE ever again, so I hope and pray that he says no to being at Wrestlemania again this year.

WWE to put their divas posing nude for Playboy to an end???

In case you wrestling fans haven’t noticed, WWE hasn’t had a Diva pose for Playboy in such a long time. The picture above is the latest Diva posing for Playboy way back in the April issue of 2008.

Why? Rumours swirling around the wrestling websites WWE could stop having Divas pose nude for Playboy for good.

Reasons being, that WWE wants their RAW, ECW, and Smackdown shows to be more children oriented like it used to be in the 80’s and early 90’s of wrestling. WWE wants to stop writing storylines and matches aimed toward the adults. They want children to start watching WWE again.

Which is a great thing they are doing because I’m sure that everyone watched wrestling as a young child whether you still watch it or not. Notice that John Cena has turned Hulk Hogan like and Randy Orton is starting to become more like Stone Cold/The Rock.

Thing is, WWE wants the next Wrestlemania for the young children to enjoy, so WWE is quickly trying it’s best for the shows to go PG. For that, this might be the reason that WWE might quit doing Playboy for the Divas.

WWE deserves to be popular and mainstream again like it was in the 80’s and 90’s, so they are trying their best to be WWE old school again. Children are not allowed to buy Playboy of course, but think how their parents would react if they were still having Divas posing nude. WWE wants to avoid an outrage by parents, and they don’t want to turn parents off by forcing children to switch the channels and not taking them to live WWE shows.

While I’m a fan of Playboy magazine, I like reading it, I think it’s a good idea that WWE should stop having Divas posing. Children deserve to be WWE fans again, go back to old school WWE the way it was before!

Oh yeah, speaking of WWE, I will be going to Smackdown on March 1st at the Glens Falls Civic Center, I’ll be ordering tickets this weekend or next week. I haven’t been to a WWE show in a long time and now that WWE is performing closer, I’ll be able to go. Glens Falls, the hometown of Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Hacksaw is still performing in WWE today so you know he will make an appearance, maybe even give him a main event match like WWE always do to a wrestler when a show is in their hometown. Can’t wait to go to the show. I’ll bring my digital camera and take pictures of the superstars in action, I’m gonna try to get good seats for that. Yes, cameras are allowed at WWE shows, people take pics all the time at wrestling shows. Looking forward to it.

Stone Cold to have one final wrestling match at WM-25???

Rumours are swirling heavily in the world of wrestling news on the web, that Stone Cold Steve Austin may have his final and last farewell match at Wm-25, since it’s been announced he’s being inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Behind the scenes of wrestling, it’s been said that Vince McMahon tried to sign the Rock to wrestle Stone Cold at Wm-25. “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson turned it down of course. Dwayne is too busy making movies, I think “The Rock” is done with wrestling forever. Vince tried to ask Hulk Hogan to wrestle Stone Cold at Wm-25, but of course, Hulk turned that down too

Since most the former legends do not want to wrestle Stone Cold and most of the WWE Top stars are already in other storylines, Stone Cold still has no possible opponent for Wm-25.

My question is, why is McMahon trying to get Stone Cold to wrestle another wrestling icon at Wrestlemania, when Stone Cold’s Wrestlemania oppponent should be no one other than Vince McMahon?

I think it’s appropriate that it should be Stone Cold vs. Vince for Wm-25, Stone Cold’s long time enemy, the feud that was important to the WWE in the first place.

Now, don’t get your hopes up of Stone Cold wrestling his final match at Wrestlemania ’cause it’s just a rumour at this point. I hope it’s true though, we’ll just have to wait and see, keep our fingers crossed.

Confirmed: Ac/Dc to perform at Wrestlemania 25…

WWE.com has confirmed Ac/Dc will be at Wrestlemania to perform a song or two. They also announced “Shoot to Thrill”, and “War Machine” from the album Black Ice, will be the two official theme songs for Wrestlemania 25th ppv.

WWE.com reports:

As long as WWE don’t have Brian and Angus feuding with other wrestlers, I’m all for them being at Wrestlemania!

Report: Vince McMahon responds to reports about Mickey dropping out of Wrestlemania, Vinnie Mac says actor will still be there?

Vince McMahon, chairman of the WWE, immediately responded to reports about Mickey Rourke dropping out of Wrestlemania. Vinnie Mac denies Rourke dropping out and will still be there. However, Vince refuses to say how he would be there. Whether Rourke will be competing, fighting, wrestling, or having any physical contact with Jericho.

More on it here:

I am now thinking that Rourke announcing the drop out is part of this storyline, like I said before, trying to make it realistic. That way Jericho can go on RAW calling Mickey a coward publicly, and Jericho will end up doing whatever it takes to get him to fight Jericho at WM-25.

I think Rourke vs. Jericho at WM-25 will happen. Keep in mind that this isn’t the first time they tried to make storylines realistic. Remember the Trump vs. McMahon fued? That was pretty realistic. Stone Cold feuding with Mike Tyson in the earlier days, they kept that realistic too. Also, boxer Floyd Mayweather feuding with the Big Show. Don’t forget William Shatner kicking Jerry Lawler’s ass and Bam Bam Bigelow having a match with football legend Lawrence Taylor.

When WWE stars are feuding with other celebrities, they like to try to keep the storyline realistic as possible to hype up Wrestlemania, so don’t take everything WWE does seriously. Rourke announcing the dropout could be scripted.
