Is the story about The Genius signing quite a large 4 year contract with WCW but never being used true?

If so what's the story there?

I've always heard it was two years.

Randy Savage purchased the Gorgeous George character and though Lanny would be perfect for the role. He pitched the idea to his brother and Lanny and WCW both thought it was great. Lanny started getting in shape, dyed his hair blonde, and signed (what I've heard to be) a 2 year, $75,000/year contract. He got in ring shape and was told they could call him with his dates, but his phone never rang. He got a check every week but never heard from WCW again other than that.

That's not even uncommon for WCW. I've heard of them having upwards of two hundred wrestlers signed (for comparison, offhand I'd say WWE plus NXT combines for about 120) but using less than half of them. They were simply signed so WWF wouldn't be able to sign them, even if WWF had never expressed any interest whatsoever in them.

That makes sense and explains Macho Man's valet.

Yeah she looked a bit better in the shorts.

The F5 would be top of my list of most devastating looking finishers... Any others you can think of?

Just for a second lets assume Punk's walkout is a work is that the best work that nobody saw coming and if not whats the best work in wrestling history

If Punk is truly gone the next three dates are crucial being WM,night after WM, and Summerslam If he doesn't show up to any of these is it fair to assume he would most likely be done with wrestling

Would Punk think about joining Jarrett's new promotion in 2015 just out of spite towards WWE

Steiner Screwdriver.

I doubt it.

In your opinion if TNA re-ups a low level tv deal with Spike what would be your business strategy for the next 18 months be for TNA

Whats your outlook for the WWE Network heading into either WM 31 or 32

Don't go out of business and get new fans.

It'll continue to be awesome.

Which Rumble winner did you least expect to win?

What are the best and worst title matches at Mania of champion vs. Rumble winner?

Do you think championships mean much after 5+ wins? Does it start to lose its importance the more you win them, especially if the reigns are short?

 

[klunderbunker]

Del Rio probably.

Bret vs. Yoko wasn't much. For best, Austin vs. Rock by about a million miles.

Yeah they do. I remember Cena winning I think his 9th title and saying out loud: "This is SO much more interesting than all the other eight I guess."

 

[Danger Burger]

Steiner Screwdriver.

Jesus. That's a rough looking move. Thanks kb.

There's a reason you only see it done about 5 times ever.

This Mania will most probably have the fewest main show matches since Mania 13 (7). Good thing or bad thing?

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Thoughts on Josh Matthews?

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

Would I be correct in saying that the reason Sammartino lost the title to Koloff in his first run was to get the title on Pedro Morales without garnering the heel heat that one would get by defeating Bruno?

Neither.

Fine but nothing memorable.

Yeah.

If the rumor is true and an angle has been pitched for a Punk/Austin build up for WM 31 starting tomorrow night then the walkout was a work

What's the percentage of this possibly happening

Does this prove that Punk's "walkout" was a work
