I think I'll purchase SummerSlam. Looks solid, and I like Lesnar.

Lesnar/HBK could happen. Lesnar HAS to win that if it happens. Not quite certain the dates Lesnar has left though. Even though he's contracted til 'Mania, he only has to show up certain times and if they're all used, WWE is screwed

I got  a feeling Punk will be defending the title against Lawler.

I'm not sure if this is the place for this but I recently read a story in the Ft.Worth Star Telegram that Kevin von Erich's sons are about to enter the ring professionally.
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

It's actually a very common trend these days for the sons, and sometimes daughters, of wrestlers to become wrestlers these days...just off the top of my head there's these pro wrestling kids and fathers - Nattie Niedhart (Jim Neidhart), Richie Steamboat (Ricky Steamboat), Brett & Ted DiBiase (Ted DiBiase), Randy Orton (Cowboy Bob Orton), Tamina (Jimmy Snuka), Camacho (Haku), Michael McGillicutty (Curt Hennig), Husky Harris (Mike Rotunda/IRS) and that's actually just the tip of the iceberg these days it seems.

Aren't The Uso's the sons of Rikishi...and like, third cousins to The Rock?

Yes they are and Mike Rotunda also has another son competing named Bo Dallas. Of course there's also Cody Rhodes.

Anyone else remember actually seeing the trailers for Grunt! The Wrestling Movie? It vividly stands out in my memory from when I was I believe twelve years old. Also really recall the advertisments for The Great American Bash '86 video a year later and the War Games ads..

So, the highlight of RAW was Kane~anger management.

I love that Bryan, Punk and Kane are all over the show.

WWE needs to push Ziggler.

There's been a lot of pretty solid wrestling matches on both Raw and Smackdown the last few weeks with stories actually tending to get told in and around the ring. They need to bring back the ringside interview though. Ziggler's match with Jericho was really good a couple of weeks back. He's in Smackdown's main event this week with Randy Orton. I see a couple of guys still not getting used right in WWE though notably Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes but at least Rhodes is still in the mix. I have no problem though with WWE using Santino and Heath Slater as jobbers as both guys are entertaining win or lose.

Swagger hasn't won in months it seems. McIntyre either it seems.

Last year was terrible though.

I think both Swagger and McIntyre need gimmick overalls and giving them a male manager who can actually talk probably wouldn't hurt either of them. Swagger does some awesome moves and is very solid in-ring, I think he should be like this unstoppable submission master who never talks but kicks serious butt in the ring. McIntyre too could be repackaged in similar fashion...

Swagger could be like a Angle or Shamrock.

I think his biggest problem is no one takes him seriously because of his lisp. Back if he stopped talking and just started taking guys down and out, he could be something - would need a manager though ala Lesnar with Paul Heyman.
