Rey Mysterio *might* be injured.
Rey should probably retire. He gets hurt a lot. Quote:

Great news about Mr T. If anybody deserves an induction to the Celebrity Wing of the Hall of Fame it'd be him.
As for Steen, how can WWE invited the guy to a camp in full knowledge of who and what he is - that is to say a fat fucker - then see it as an affront when he turns up as a fat fucker? It's be like if they'd asked Booker T to come to a training camp then being pissed when he turned up in black skin. |

I doubt Vince has a clue who he is. Ditto Morishima. The first time he saw him was at TV.
Not sure why they'd bother with the two of them anyway, Elgin does some impressive stuff but he's like 4'10. Steen's look is entirely non-existent. Plenty of guys equal to or better that actually look the part to. Be surprised if DeVitt, Adam Cole, Mike Bennett etc didn't get "a shot" this year |

Anytime anyone talks about fat guys
Husky Harris was just fat. I never thought he had a chance at making it watching him on NXT. I dont know officially how much weight he lost, but hes billed at 280 and he doesn't look as bad. He also managed to go over 20 minutes with Daniel Bryan at RR without looking overly blown up. |

Bray Wyatt is "fat jacked" (official term folks). Big difference.

Being fat or not isn't the real issue but how you treat that call from the WWE. If you come in as a mess, they see that as an insult and not worthy of their investment.
Steen doesn't need to be amazing with those conditioning tests, he just has to reach whatever expectation the WWE feels he needs to reach. |

Still amazed that Cyndi Lauper hasn't been inducted. There's no Wrestlemania without her.

I like how MVP is basically the same gimmick and his theme even has ticking clocks.

Would like Elgin in the WWE, would pass on Steen. He just seems like a headache.

Pretty sure every casket in a casket match is on a casket stretcher.
That's how they move it around. |

WWF/E was at least a bit more ceremonial about it putting a cloth over it so they could hide the false bottom

1) In terms of actual presence: Lance Storm said he wanted to have a Wrestlemania moment, and mentioned that he "never got one" because his matches were bumped. Twice. If I remember correctly, one became pre-show fodder, and the other ended up as a dark match. Essentially, he was never technically in a Wrestlemania match in spite of being booked for it and wrestling at the event. 2) In terms of WWE logic: Jericho never beat HHH that one time ON RAW. Even though it took up a substantial amount of TV time, the match never happened. If that match never happened, and it was pretty much a televised main event on their flagship televison program, then what does that say about a match they didn't even bother airing on "free" TV before their PPV? |

Well the Jericho/HHH thing was for storyline purposes so it hardly counts as compelling evidence.

If Jim Cornette says something, and there are no smarks around to care, did he REALLY say anything?
