But if you remember when the rock first won the belt, he was actually worse than orton, way cocky, arragant, self centerted. But that just ortons caracter, he's actually pretty cool back stage. And at most live events even though he is supposed to be a heal, the croud is into him. Thats why they are going to change edge heal, thecroud has turned n him.Quote:

I figured that no matter what hed be a fan favorite. Hell, i still like him.
Well although eddie and chavo Jr. didn't want Classic to get fired, they knew he brought it on himself by not showing up for 3 house shows with no word or warning, then showing up for the Smackdown tapings. Eddie and Chavo Jr. had to convince Chavo clasic to go gracefully and loose the belt that night to Ray Misterio.Quote:

(thats the plan, but in this bussiness things can change).
Sometimes the fans turn a person from face to heal or heal to face. Remember the Rock and Hogan battle, thats when people started booing the Rock, a few weeks later Rock was a heal again. all it took for him to become a face again was to come out and help Foley.
Oh no!! not his hair!! What became of randy savage?
I know that the raven is no longer in the the wwe.:( He was cool.
are justin credible and Tommy dreamer still in the wwe?
The Minnesota Vikings' website has started selling Brock Lesnar's #69 jersey for $64.99. The jersey is expected to arrive in stock on August 25th. This seems to be a good sign for Brock that he will make at least the practice squad.
- IGN.com reports that Bret Hart will be a character in the upcoming WWE RAW vs. Smackdown video game.
- As reported earlier, WWE is planning to start handing out fines to many wrestlers who have violated the company's new dress code. Wrestlers are now required to wear slacks and a shirt on flights, at arenas, etc.

A article that will be run this week in Alex Marvez' syndicated wrestling column, Bill Goldberg says he has no interest in coming back to the World Wrestling Entertainment and was unhappy with the way WWE creative tried to portray his persona.
"I think the way they handled my character was moronic. Any businessman who has business first and foremost on his mind wouldn't have done what they did ... People didn't want to see Goldberg have emotions or laugh. They wanted to see him rip people's heads off."
Also, Goldberg criticized how the fans responded to Brock Lesnar's dreams of joining the NFL, citing the "You sold out" chants during Wrestlemania XX.
"I felt really bad for the guy because he made a decision and stood up for what he believed. He wanted to fulfill a dream. Instead of being behind him 100 percent, the fans resented it."
Mentioned in the article is that Goldberg is working on Adam Sandler's The Longest Yard along with Steve Austin, Bob Sapp, and Kevin Nash. He is also putting together an "All-Star" show in Japan.
The Associated Press has an article floating around about WWE Hall of Famer Pete Rose owing the IRS $1 Million in unpaid taxes. While it doesn't say where the money he made is from, one has to think that it includes some of the money that Vince paid Rose to appear at the WWE HOF Cermoney.
****- Detroit News Online (detnews.com) made a mention of Brock Lesnar getting hazed by his fellow teammates at the end of Viking Training Camp. In the article, it mentions who the men were that hazed Lesnar. It was Kelly Campbell (WR), Chris Liwienski (G) and NFL All Star Randy Moss (WR). Being that it was some of the starters, including the Viking franchise player, I would say that it was probably a good thing for Lesnar.
