Wrestling is of course real. Everything else is fake.

At an effective price of 9.99 for a pay per view, for anyone with a decent internet connection, expectations need not be high. Yet the Royal Rumble remains one of the big events of the wrestling world. The winner goes on to headline Wrestlemania.

I would like to see Dolph Ziggler get it, but the pointlessness of his storyline firing and rehire seem to argue against it. I would be satisfied to see Dean Ambrose or Daniel Bryan take it. Though Daniel Bryan only makes sense if Lesnar extends, giving the David Vs. Goliath battle.

Terrible what happened to Lou Albano when he received his award for Muscular Dystrophy.

Dick Clark, Cyndi Lauper and the Hulkster; That video reminds me of the Radio Shack commercial that went, "The 1980's called...they want their store back!"

Would it be OK to bring Jessie Ventura back so we can all see him get slammed?

I'd pay to see that.

Years back as a kid, every Saturday afternoon I would watch with my Uncle.

He loved it, and would laugh his head off, and I would laugh right along with him.

I think Jackie Fargo could have took him. Looks like he's had a rough night.

Ah, the rasslin' memories. I loved watching it as a kid, although what I watched was Mid-Atlantic NWA which years later became WCW.

My heroes were always the bad guys!

Gene and Ole Anderson, Ivan Koloff, the Assassins, etc. Those guys were great at doing promos, especially Ole and Assassin#1( Jody Hamilton). They really made you believe they meant business!

And look how well that worked. Radio Shack is circling the drain.

I have no idea who will win--haven't taken time to read the script, or even the Cliff notes. Too busy with forensic analysis of those flaccid footballs, and looking for subversive activities at Trekkie conventions. If they have nothing to hide, why would they wear Klingon drag?

Wrestlemaniac - The Atlantic

(Watch out for that fork!! Aaaaahhhh!!!!)

I remember Abdullah attacking Wahoo McDaniel during a TV taping of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling. It generated a lot of heat in the area for Abdullah.
