This will be the second largest Mania ever then I assume behind WMIII? I hope they hold WM30 at the Garden as I believe that's the best place around for atmosphere, but I can't see it happening considering it can only hold 18,200 and WWE have shifted from the smaller stadiums which created a bigger atmosphere to the larger arenas where it's not quite as epic IMO.

No real point, but Marty Jannettys ankles are fucking howling.

Jannetty is in dire need of surgery, but cannot afford it. He recently criticized his former employer, WWE, on the social networking website for financially assisting former talent with substance abuse problems and not those with debilitating injuries stemming from their time labouring for the company. He questioned whether he needs to abuse pain medication before he can receive financial assistance from the sports-entertainment organization.

Jannetty also ripped his former tag team partner and best friend, Shawn Michaels, for displaying little sympathy toward his ailments as well as his "fallen brothers," at an autograph signing last month in California. The tag team specialist showed Michaels an old wrestling program and said how sad it was that eight of the sixteen individuals who competed at the event died prematurely. Michaels' response was that he doesn't keep up with "that kind of stuff" and that he has other things to do, such as ride his tractor. Then, when Jannetty showed his shot ankle to Michaels, he only said "Damn!" and did nothing more. Bret Hart, on the other hand, who was never his tag team partner nor his best friend, vowed to take action in assisting him.

So Kevin Nash denied ever having held the title for 358 days.

Said it was the character Diesel that held it, never him as a person and the character Diesel has been dead for over 16 years.

Someone dared to mention that Diesel was revived at the 2011 royal rumble. Not a happy camper at all :lol: .

On twitter btw.

Ticket pricing for mania next year seems crazy. Had been tempted to go but $850 for all floor seating priced me out. Was at 25 & 26 right across from the camera (spot the ayr strips) for a quarter of that price.

Fair play though they are selling well. Having Rock and Lesner on the card obviously helping. Ill take the 2X undertaker v hbk matches i got to see though.

Haha! What total shite (Nash that is, not the article). Utterly bizarre behaviour.

Tom Lawlor did the whole Shockmaster entrance at the UFC weigh ins tonight. :lol: Got a few giggles from those around him, even though many probably didn't know what the f**k was going on. He even fell over at the start. :lol:

:lol:

Anyone been watching WrestleTalkTV on Challenge? It's pretty good, reminds me a bit of that wrestling radio show that used to air on talksport in the early 2000s but a bit more smarky.

Anyone know of any good aps or wrestling radio podcasts that I can listen to?

It's on Challenge every 2nd Sunday at 11pm. It was on the Sunday just past so wont' be on the Sunday coming. I quite like it. It's a decent enough program, although the news is lifted directly from FSM, often word for word.
