Every day that I check the forecast for Sunday the chances for rain at Mania are
smaller. Also, here in Florida there us always some chance for rain. Even if it
doesn't rain at all they forecast at least a possibility if it. "30%
chance of rain" means it probably won't rain but there is an outside
possibility. I don't expect it to rain at WrestleMania. I can't wait to go this
Sunday. My first Mania, its gonna be so awesome!

ofcourse that piece of shit takes a shot at hogan on his dvd. what an insecure,
overrated bastard he is.
Posted By: Joe Mastronardo (Registered) on March 26, 2008 at 03:33 PM
read the review...it says that he actually says he was on his way to an
"Austin like level." HAHAHAHAHA are you serious?? never in a million
years could this guy be even considered on an Austin like level. What a crock
of bullshit. Thats just one of the reasons why I hate this guy. "The best
in the business" was my fav line...when Kurt Angle was in the same
company. What a total joke. They constantly insult our (my) intelligence about
this guy.

JTX you're a lucky S.O.B. I wish I lived in Florida. I live in Canada. It's
almost April and it's still -16 oC outside and snowing...lol

He dares takes a shot at THE HULK?
LOSER!
Posted By: Guest#6916 (Guest) on March 26, 2008 at 04:55 PM
Holy shit, dude. Wishing death on HHH? What a heartless bastard you are.
Posted By: Cosmo (Guest) on March 26, 2008 at 05:31 PM
Hulk Hogan is garbage. What a peice of shit I am!
Posted By: Jones (Guest) on March 26, 2008 at 06:41 PM
Joe, could you PLEASE add something to the discussion other than how much you
are madly in love with Hulk Hogan? I get it. You like the guy. And nobody
cares that you like the guy.

if it rains, the Undertaker entrance will be crap... I mean... will the druids
appear only for their torch to be put out by the rain? XD
VINTAGE UNDERTAKER!!!

Hogan made wrestling. Austin brought it back. And HHH killed it.
Posted By: Joe Mastronardo (Registered) on March 26, 2008 at 07:43 PM
Austin like level?He should be thankful austin got the 96 king of the ring push
instead of him because somehow i doubt he would have started the attitutde era.
Posted By: Ed (Guest) on March 26, 2008 at 07:49 PM
"Hogan made wrestling. Austin brought it back. And HHH killed it."
Indeed. If only it wasn't for that damned HHH, we'd be watching WrestleMania
XXIV this Sunday.
Wait, what?
Posted By: BringTheNoise (Guest) on March 26, 2008 at 09:11 PM
Yeah, Hogan made wrestling. It did not exist before he showed up. Lou Thesz,
Verne Gagne, Bruno Sammartino, the Briscos, the Funks, Harley Race, and Ric
Fucking Flair didn't exist because it all started in 1984, apparently. Because
that's when HULKAMANIA CREATED WRESTLING, BROTHER. And then he slammed that 900
pound nasty giant with warts all over him. Seriously, go fuck ourself already.
He won't do it for you.
