Not a long term career.

Well tbh, Andre died due to his medical condition that made him so massive and he wasn't really expected to live beyond 30 and Owen Hart's dead was a tragic accident. However, it does show a very worrying trend that so many of these guys barely make 40

Just got around to watching The Whole f'n Show and it was a great show, especially MCMG vs Beer Money that will be up there in the match of the year list, the whole series of matches from them have been brilliant.

The Knockouts and Morgan vs Pope vs Anderson matches were a bit short and it was a shame to not see an X Division Championship match on the show. They did have a lot to pack in though seeing as they needed to account for adverts.

Probably the biggest shock of the year.


I wonder with what he did, if he was trying to get fired again for using the crossface.

tbh, i was a bit sleep deprived last night, and the miz had cut yet another AWESOME promo last night, so when came out and cena bumped him off the team, it was great.

They handled edge and jericho well during the match as well, both getting decent face reactions and playing to the crowd a bit, (jericho at least) but nice way to get them heat again.
