The Green Meanie

Do we have a cause yet?

No, next week's Raw hails from Green Bay, Wisconsin. The crowd will hijack it to chant for Mr. Kennedy............ ............Kennedy Milwaukee! I was under the impression that Mo was in pretty bad shape these days.

Awesome, that was in Houston! (Recognize the HPD uniform and patch in the very last picture.)

Two new(ish) ones showed up on Amazon: $2.99 right now on Amazon, seems kinda short though. Centrally focused on WCCW/GWF/Texas area. The reviews make it sound pretty good, not sure if I'll be getting it yet or not.

As long as they continue to let Ambrose talk like a comic book villain, I'm happy.

http://www.wwe.com/classics/15-superstars-you-forgot-existed Apparently the team of Droz and Prince Albert were called "Pierced Pals". I've never heard that name before, it's fairly amusing.

So much to love in this picture. Slick with his hat off whilst holding his cane, and The Conquistadors doing a black power salute for USSR.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that they had a makeshift tag team for one or two matches around that time.

Per one of Jericho's book, Eddie coined them "Eh And Way" My vote has to go to Regal/Barrett.

Billy Mitchell can never be a face.

He looks more like wrestlin' Billy Mitchell to me.

We also got the debut of Black Ref III.

If he tells the story about Harley Race on Punks livejounal page, it will be the best thing ever. Google it if you don't know it.

At Booker's PWA/ROW shows, at the end he usually walks around the crowd shaking hands and signing autographs. One time as he was shaking my hand I yelled KING BOOOOOKAAAH at him, he got a good laugh out of that. It's also worth mentioning his hands are huge.

No Barrett in the Rumble? That is bad news.

Wrestlecrap came up with a pretty good list to make your own bingo cards with: Surprise entrant: Jim Duggan SHIELD dissension CM Punk lasts 30 minutes Batista chucks three fodder guys Cole pointlessly quotes WWE Legends Someone points at sign Surprise entrant: Sheamus Kofi creatively avoids elimination Cole says, ‘create separation’ Cole says, ‘build momentum’ Crowd chants, “WE WANT BRYAN” Heels target Punk at Kane’s behest Cody/Goldust dissension Del Rio outpopped by Old School Raw legend Del Rio outpopped by cotton candy vendor Khali throws painfully awkward chops Last two men have staredown Any announcer asks, “Who’s going to WrestleMania?” Old Rumbles promoted on WWE Network Any mention of the fucking App 6 of first 10 entrants will never hold World Title Last five entrants are all big names Updates on Punk’s longevity Daniel Bryan is surprising late entrant Heel comically tossed in under a minute Twitter crawl pops up Face misses charge, heel dumps him out Del Rio, Rey continue eternal feud Surprise entrant: someone from Attitude Era Del Rio tosses most over face (not Punk or Batista) JBL yells, “BALLGAME!” Announcers get a fact wrong Announcer says, “Rumble favors bigger competitors” Announcer mentions Santino, Warlord, or Luke Crowd silence for midcarder entrance Cole fake-laughs at Lawler joke All three Shield members gang up on hapless face Michael Cole yells “VINTAGE” Hey, it’s Tensai! Crowd chants “YOU STILL GOT IT” at oldie who did 2 moves

Nope, now he's just a dude that likes to watch football and eat sweets.

My trainer at my new job is married to Black Bart. Man looks totally different these days.

And Maven, who was never officially eliminated in the 2002 Royal Rumble, fulfills the 12 year angle and returns as the #1 contender for Wrestlemania. Either that or Batista. By that logic, Scotty Too Hotty gets a shot too since he was never eliminated back in 2005. My pick: Punk. Batista just seems too obvious.

Never seen that particular NWA logo before.

Fuji Vice. It's not too late, is it?

This is pretty accurate: (from Botched Spot)

I know, I haven't found any other version then that one.

Seems like the most realistic choice.
