0

This first portion was taped on Friday, March 14th.

March 27th episode Results:

* MVP comes out and talks about brawling with Abyss last week. He’s interrupted by Magnus and Abyss. Magnus says Abyss has a contract with him, not MVP or TNA. MVP offers Abyss a title shot and announces Abyss vs. Samoa Joe vs. Magnus for the World Heavyweight Title for next week. Our correspondent notes that this and other details were fuzzy based on the way they apparently taped out of order. Joe comes out and isn’t happy about the match. Joe and Magnus brawl while MVP and Abyss brawl. Eric Young comes out and attacks Abyss. They clear the ring. MVP says instead, next will be Magnus vs. Joe, interrupted and for the title, and Young vs. Abyss. Young and Joe end up arguing. It ended with Young being put into the match. Our correspondent notes it wasn’t clear if the match will be Joe vs. Young vs. Abyss vs. Magnus for the title or Joe vs. Young vs. Magnus for the title next week.

* Gunner defeated James Storm in a no count out, no DQ match. This was described as a very brutal match. Gunner speared Storm through a table at ringside from inside the ring at one point. Gunner got the win after his finisher and a beer bottle shot to the head.

* Angelina Love calls out Velvet Sky. They argue about Madison Rayne and Angelina talks down to Velvet. Angelina mentions she will be facing Madison later on.

There is now a working idea within WWE that Sting will wrestle one match and then retire, which everyone presumes will be against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31 in California.

There’s still no confirmation that WWE will make this known at WrestleMania XXX or on RAW the next night. The only thing that’s said to be certain right now is that Sting will do one last match.

Christian suffered a minor concussion on Monday’s RAW in the Fatal 4 Way with Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio. This is Christian’s second concussion within a one year period.

Even before this second concussion, there had been a lot of talk about his active in-ring career coming to an end. Talk started months ago that when Christian’s current contract expires he would probably retire because he was 40, had been getting injured and creative had no real plans for him.

Those stories of him retiring surfaced again this week with the idea that Christian would make a great NXT trainer.

Bret Hart On Who Was Supposed To Be In Owen Hart’s Place For Their Feud

I managed to catch the latest episode of WrestleMania Rewind on the WWE Network tonight, which looked at the Bret Hart – Owen Hart match at WrestleMania X. While this week’s episode was fairly entertaining, like the previous episodes, I would have liked more insight and behind the scenes details about the match.
In my opinion, the biggest thing that wasn’t mentioned at all was how Bret’s older brother, Bruce, was originally slated to be in Owen’s role in that feud.

Bret talked openly about the original plans for the match on Chris Jericho’s podcast, Talk Is Jericho. Bret admitted that Owen was originally brought in to the company in 1988 to be a bottom guy. Owen then left the WWF, but Bret convinced him to come back, only for the same thing to happen. Owen came to him around SummerSlam 1993, where Hart faced Jerry Lawler and Doink The Clown (yes, that was an actual WWE PPV main event), and Owen said that he was leaving the business. Bret felt bad and noted that at that time Vince would talk to him about being short on talent. At one point, Bret told Vince that he was about to lose a great talent with Owen, who is quitting to become a fireman. Vince then said that he would try to find something for him.

WWE then came up with a storyline for Bret to feud with Bruce. Bret didn’t think that he could wrestle Bruce, and noted that Bruce had knee surgery, hadn’t wrestled in a while, “and before that, he couldn’t wrestle that well anyway.” Bret noted that Bruce had a pot belly and was about 40 years old, and it was not going to work, but WWE wanted Bruce. Bret would not think about feuding with Bruce, but would consider Owen.

WWE wanted Bruce to challenge Bret like Owen ended up doing. Owen’s role in the hypothetical feud would come in after Bret wouldn’t accept a match with Bruce until Owen stood up to Bruce for being a bully his whole life. Bruce would then annihilate Owen, leading to Bret accepting the match with Bruce at WrestleMania X. Bret later told Owen about the company’s original plans, who said he would have quit if he they would have done that storyline.

– WWE looks to be either close to or has just signed a new deal with former announcer and current ESPN personality Jonathan Coachman. The two sides have been discussing a part-time gig where Coach would keep his ESPN job but would do in-studio wrap-arounds for WWE. One idea thrown out would be for him to host a WWE talk show for the WWE Network.

Hulk Hogan Replaces Triple H, Talks WrestleMania XXX, Mr. T, Andre the Giant, And More

0

Michael Cole’s sit-down interview this week was with Hulk Hogan, who filled in for Triple H. Cole informed us that Triple H has decided against doing the weekly interviews until after WrestleMania. Here are some highlights:

– Hogan said his return puts a period to the sentence of his life in this business. He said that everything lined up perfectly for his return. He then plugged the Network and said that “it was so cool to be home.”

– Hogan’s favorite WrestleMania moment was his match with Andre the Giant. He said that event led the company to greatness and where it is now.

– Hogan said it was “huge” to bring Andre’s memory to WrestleMania for the Memorial Battle Royal. He talked about Andre straightening him up when he was younger in the business. He talked about how great a person Andre was, and complimented him for how he handled himself in public.

– Hogan talked about how important Mr. T was to WWE, and that not having him in the Hall of Fame would not be right. He said Mr. T was used to steer WWE in the “sports entertainment” realm, and admitted how the company rested on his back. He talked about how Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff didn’t want him in the WWE, and that “this whole company was on Mr. T’s back to steer us in the right direction to become the great entertainment company we are today.”

– Hogan says this will be the greatest WrestleMania of all time with how things have lined up. He said that “we’re going to points unknown,” and that this is the launching pad for the company’s future.
