    I don't know about Wrestlemania, I haven't watched in years...but I love to see Hall of Fame, though.

    Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat

    "Stunning-Stone Cold" Steve Austin

    The Von Erichs as family (probably only Kevin will be there).

    The Funks (Terry and Dory)

    Koko B. Ware

    i stopped watching WWF really after i graduated high school.

    i'll probably record the HOF thing if its on tv to see highlights of the wrestlers i saw a lot growing up.


    hmm that 25 diva battle royal looks to be fun to watch though.

    as for the rest of the card i do not know enough about wrestling now to know if its any good. i would be interesting to see if undertaker finally loses at WM but I doubt that.

    otherwise wrestling (at least wwf) doesnt have the same type of megastars it used to...honestly i think its because wwf got way too big buying up wcw and ecw and now having too many mid-level stars. that other wrestling league on spike tv (tna i think?) i am not sure if its reached the level that wcw did in its peak.

    Why is wrestlemania still around? People like crap that's been fake since the innovation of it?

    It's like watching a movie or theatrical play. Granted, the storylines have fallen off VERY badly since Stone Cold/The Rock were still wrestling. At some point in time, the WWE accepted they were just 'entertainment' and incorporated that into over the top story lines. Like Vince McMahon seeing a different image of himself in the mirror.

    Yeah, the wrestling business has been that way, since the early 40s, just with much more athleticism and toughness required than acting in the theater.

    If most people saw what it took to even become a sub-par wrestler or just a person who is jobbing...I doubt most could do it.

    we get it guys, we all grew out of the wrestling stage of our lives, for me it was from 10-13 yrs old, but nevertheless, i had some great memories, especially of the rock, stone cold, triple h, they were part of my childhood just like pokemon and all sorts of other crap are, stop bashing wrestling, we all know it's fake, but it's kinda cool to have wrestlemania to be in houston texas

    you're not fooling anyone by saying "jeez i'm 9 and a half now, i don't play with barbie dolls like you 6 yr olds" quit being stupid

    The storylines haven't really fallen off all that much since then. They just don't have any performers anywhere near as charismatic as the two headliners, so the writing is a lot harder to overlook.

    The One Man Gang (from Halstadt street in Chicago).
    The Missing Link
    Dr. Death Steve Williams
    Skandar Akbar
    The Fantastics
    The Sheepherders (before they were the Bushwackers)
    "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert
    "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer
    Dick Murdoch
    Dick Slater



    I fondly remember the Sam Houston Coliseum.

    That place makes you appreciate a place like Hofeinz Pavillion.

    all 3 were down to earth people, were a pleasure to talk to, told Morrison way to represent "Tough Enough", just said whatsup to the Miz, and my cousin were just trying to get with Maryse, who is truly stunning/gorgeous in person

    good stuff to start the weekend

    on to Axxess in about 7 hours, WWE Hall of Fame tomorrow night, WM25 on Sunday, and Raw to finish out.

    wow...it's been a while since i visited the WWF website...

    Their diva's section used to be borderline pron, now it's more like model style...and there sure seems to be a heck of alot more of them.

    well, they've changed their "image", back to family entertainment

    but.....

    half of their Divas has done "other" work in some capacity that a simple Google search will find you

    I came to see Melina. I saw Melina. She is soo nice.


    It was cool to see people from everywhere. People came from all the states such as Jersey, New York, Florida. There were people from Australia, and England, and Ireland.


    That's neat. They are here spending money in Houston, which is great.




    So far, I've spent nothing, except at a McDonalds before playing basketball.


    I will be headed to the hall of fame in a bit.

    just got back from Hall of Fame, as Kam stated, why the hell can't it be that loud at Toyota Center during Rockets games? sad.....

    they had a chant "Thank You Austin" *clap clap* *clap clap clap*, probably the loudest I've heard in awhile in that place

    btw, here are the pics from Axxess

    Melina

    Overall, it was a fun experience, didn't go to the '01/X7 one, so I couldn't compare. Meet the Divas, saw Jericho with an in-ring interview, did an John Morrison/Miz entrance with my cousin, got a fake spray on tattoo, did some trivia, and tired as hell from standing in line.

    ok.


    back from the Hall of Fame.


    It was good. It started out slow and boring, and i kinda dozed off, but it picked up.



    JR gave a great speech, The Fink gave a great speech.


    We sat by more English folks.



    Man, the arena chanted Thank you Steve in unison. That was awesome. I only wished things like that happened for the Rockets.
