Favorite part of Raw was Punk interrupting the party. And the way he just walked past her I she wasn’t even there.

Kofi Kingston spoke to Matt Striker on RAW Active last night. Kofi was upset about Fandango postponing his debut again. Kofi called Fandango a “male ballerina sissy.”

- Striker also spoke to WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn and she answered a fan question – why is she now using the spear? She talked about how she looked up to Bill Goldberg and his spear when she was younger.

- WWE’s website has a video of Triple H, BG James and Billy Gunn reuniting backstage at last night’s old-school RAW. James said The NAO have never been apart so they really can’t have a reunion. Triple H joined them and told Matt Striker to beat it. James talked about last week’s brawl with Brock Lesnar and brought up the infamous wet spot that fans noticed in the seat of Triple H’s pants. Triple H mentioned that he will never go to the ring with a full bladder again, acknowledging that he had an accident.

Is it sad that I got more enjoyment from the opening credits than I did for the whole 3 hour show?

Sad for who?

Sad for who?

for me i guess, I fast forward through most of the 3 hours, I'm not feeling Wrestlemania this year, it might be the worst one in a while at least for me.

I really haven't seen enough of Johnny Curtis in the ring to make up my mind about his in-ring ability but my thought on this "Fandango" gimmick is that it is an unfortunate gimmick that he has been saddled with and it will definitely hurt his chances on becoming a bigger star down the road. This is the type of gimmick that will end up living in infamy on the Wrestlecrap website and unless he gets away from it quickly, it will follow him throughout his entire WWE career. Oddly enough, it reminds me of the unfortunate gimmick that was given to Rico Constantino when he was introduced to the WWE back in 2002.

Agreed. Everyone complained about Brodus getting stuck with a lame gimmick but Fandango is any worse than the Funkasaurus. Fandango reminds of a really bad Saturday Night Live skit that would have bee done by Chris Kattan.

I like Fan... Dan... Gooooooo...

He's funny.

The problem is, you have these events like last night's RAW where you are reminded about all the gimmicks that used to fill wrestling promotions back in the day. You see guys like Sgt. Slaughter and the Million Dollar Man and it brings back some fond memories of old school wrestling...but then you have to remember for every one of the good gimmicks there was also a Thurman "Sparky" Plugg, a Giant Gonzales, or a Dr. Issac Yankem DDS. Gimmicks can be fun in moderation but there are some that clearly do not have any place in a wrestling ring.

I dont' think it's a violation. I think they just get fined for pot.

Yeah, if you fail a test. An arrest for possession is, I believe, a violation.

Not of the Wellness Policy. It's a violation of Vince's Magical Rules List. They're magical because they change frequently, you see.

[syxxpakk]

I take that back. It is a legit violation of the Wellness Policy!

Which is also a selectively enforced wish list...

[syxxpakk]

Also, remember how Steve Austin, Triple H, the Rock, Rikishi, Edge, Christian, and, well, you get the point, were saddled forever with shitty gimmicks that made it so they'd never get over?

Talent rises above. That's why Curtis will get over.

You mean there are things in pro wrestling that aren't on the up and up?!?!?!!?!?
