Ugly Bulldog

Screw CMLL. I want to see what he can do in the States, especially against Mysterio.

This year's Royal Rumble came out today on DVD. Here's the matches with some of the extras included. I was a bit disappointed with some of the audio (which is becoming increasingly frustrating with WWE Home Video as of late with the Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan DVDs). Whenever someone gets on the mic (such as Mr. Kennedy, and Lilian Garcia), their voices were not synchronized with the picture. It's bothersome, but what else can you do. Anyway, you can find the DVD at Wal-Mart for $15.88. Personally, the DVD is worth the price just for the Cena/Umaga match alone. ROYAL RUMBLE Match Listing: --The Hardys vs. MNM --ECW Championship Match: Bobby Lashley vs. Test --World Heavyweight Championship Match: Batista vs. Mr. Kennedy --WWE Championship Last Man Standing Match: John Cena vs. Umaga --Royal Rumble Match Extras: --World Tag Team Championship Match: John Cena & Shawn Michaels vs. Rated RKO (RAW, 01/29/07) --Donald Trump and Vince McMahon (RAW, 01/29/07) --Todd Grisham interviews Undertaker and Kane post-Rumble.

Yikes. Eight guys in the Money in the Bank match is really pushing the idea. It's an awesome match, but they need to leave something for the undercard. With guys like Edge, Punk, Booker, Jeff Hardy, Kennedy, etc. being proposed for the match, it seems kinda odd that WWE would job seven of their top guys in one match.

I thought we would have seen Steamboat in this year, considering its the 20-year anniversary of his classic match against Savage.

I wonder what would happen if we did this tournament again, but with the brackets shuffled up. I'm sure we would have seen a different Fatal Four.

That's a shame. I wish he would have gotten help.

I know how you feel. Here's my injured guys: Antawn Jamison Baron Davis Michael Redd Emeka Okafor I finally got Redd back this week, but then Okafor went down. All of my injured guys have been in the top ten fantasy ballers at some point, but every time they got up there, they went down with an injury.

This Money in the Bank match is shaping up to look really good. I'm looking forward to this match more than anything else.

As long as Kane gets the win, I'm fine with a Kane/Khali WrestleMania match.

So if Punk moves over to RAW, then how is ECW supposed to draw?

LOL, where do they come up with this stuff?

The New and Improved DX DVD came out this week for anyone interested. Also, this TNA DVD news was posted earlier today by Outsiders. Here it is again: "Phenomenal" The Best of AJ Styles Volume 2 DVD is set to be released on April 3rd. There is currently a buy one TNA DVD get one free sale on-going at all FYE and Suncoast stores. Genesis 2006 is excluded from this sale.

It's amazing how Skipper's career spiralled downward after he performed one of the greatest moves in TNA history.

I kinda surprised that NBC would do that. I figured they could dual-promote the Apprentice and WrestleMania with the Trump/Vince feud.

Well with Wade out, Miami has zero chance now. Just about anybody could come out of the East to play in the Finals. Basically, I think the Western Conference champ will sweep in the Finals.

Glad to see the ECW World title getting a big push at WrestleMania.[/sarcasm]

Munch takes home the bacon. John Cena is currently the sixth-longest reigning WWE Champion in the history of WWE. He's three months away from surpassing Bret Hart for fifth best. Surprisingly, Triple H is only 18th on this list. Here's the complete top ten list: 1 -- Bruno Sammartino (4040 days) 2 -- Hulk Hogan (2185 days) 3 -- Bob Backlund (2132 days) 4 -- Pedro Morales (1044 days) 5 -- Bret Hart (654 days) 6 -- John Cena (571+ days) 7 -- Steve Austin (528 days) 8 -- Randy Savage (520 days) 9 -- Shawn Michaels (396 days) 10 - Diesel (358 days)

Bret Hart

Here's one that might scare some people: This is a listing of the top holders of the WWE Championship as ranked by the total combined number of days the wrestler has held the title through one or a multiple number of title reigns. 1 -- Bruno Sammartino (4040 days) 2 -- Hulk Hogan (2185 days) 3 -- Bob Backlund (2132 days) 4 -- Pedro Morales (1044 days) 5 -- Bret Hart (654 days) 6 -- ??? Who is 6th on this list?

The Pro

Fatal Four: Undertaker vs. Chris Benoit --I'm a big fan of Benoit, but even I have to admit that he probably doesn't deserve to be here. He only had a nice four-month title reign and then was sent back to midcard mediocrity. Anyway, Undertaker is just too strong for Benoit. The Rabid Wolverine would put on a heroic fight, but the Deadman wins it with a Tombstone. Hulk Hogan vs. Bret Hart --I could see Hart wearing Hogan down for the most part. Again though, it means nothing since Hogan would do the seizure Hulk Up and a few moments later, the ref would be slapping the mat three times.

Congrats to Hennig. I wonder who will induct him.

It's amazing that two of the most famous ECW World champions die within the past month. First Bam Bam, now Awesome. This news really hurts. My personal favorite wrestling feud of all-time is Mike Awesome against Masato Tanaka. The two of them went together like peanut butter and jelly. They had the most amazing chemistry in the ring. To see Awesome go so soon is extremely disappointing. Rest in peace.

I would really like to see how Mistico does in that tryout match.
