He could have a fantastic match with just about anyone.

That's probably debatable.
But he could have fantastic matches with the right people.

They've released 5 so far over the years the last one was Emergence released on November 12th 2009. And yes it does contain Tara's theme.

Oh get in! Thanks mate. Have to be buying that, love some of the other themes as well though e.g. The Pope's is class. Cheers again.

Totally agree mate. From what I've seen and read it's usually been ex-wrestling stars/personalities who've been any success at it e.g. Dibiase and Ventura.

the only guy who was not an ex-wrestler to provide an entertaining show was bob barker (think that was his name, old fella who was a game show host?) but that's mainly because he's a proffesional show man and knows how to keep a show going and the audience into it

what was the deal with jack swaggers match on smackdown? my brother said the ref was wearing gloves and there was something about swagger bleeding and the match been stopped whilst it was cleaned up. was this purely a storyline or has swagger got some kind of blood condition and there was a particular risk that he would bleed?

It's the refs "thing" now in the WWE, but not all of them do it they're going down the route of boxing/MMA and having the refs in gloves to check the legit accidental blood injuries. Unless Swagger has a condition on top of that, I don't know

The blood thing is WWE's child friendly policy. no blood allowed now

just watched the start of impact, pissing meself laughing at flair trying to move in that wheelchair.


Amusement only surpassed by RVD and hardy trying to hit the ring to make the save via the crowd, walking down the stairs with two of america's finest wandering about not paying attention to the show and not realising the talent is trying to get past.

HBK is one of a handful of wrestlers who is actually in a position to not NEED to wrestle. Stone Cold, Foley and Rock are the few I can think of off the top of my head.

From what I've read, Undertaker has invested his money wisely over the years and is a very wealthy man. So is Sting (not the singer) apparantly.
