• We predicted months ago Shane McMahon getting involved in the Legacy group storyline. We also predicted Manu would be booted. Last week we predicted Shane on Raw. What's next? Our latest episode gets into the next 'swerve'. Will it involve 'Super Hero' John Cena?..
• How pathetic was Shane's 'attack' on Raw? Not only did he miss Randy Orton by a mile, but you had to see how horrible that looked on Hi Definition TV. Maybe WWE will try and make that into a storyline in order to cover up that huge blunder..
• Just like WWE changed the Kane 'mask' storyline because of the massive leaks, they did it with Matt and Jeff Hardy. DT and KC explain why this storyline was changed, and Christian's possible interraction with Jeff Hardy. Matt Hardy should be thanking every kid in the audience for this storyline change. Unfortunately in years to come, wrestling will not remember this as a kids storyline. What do we mean by that? Tune in and hear our great comparison to Hulk Hogan circa 1985..
• Speaking of 1985. Sorry WWE. That segment on Raw saying Roddy Piper was an icon in the mainstream entertainment world (back in 85) is incorrect. We still have the videos of Entertainment Tonight and other Hollywood shows that were pushing Wrestlemania. Noone knew who Piper was until he started 'incidents' with Cyndi Lauper and Mr T. And even then, most mainstream media still didn't know who he was..
• Has anyone seen Brooke Hogan's recent You Tube video asking fans to pick names for her upcoming CD? Don Tony has seen it, and she looks like she had a set of Poodle's testicles implanted in her chin..
• Jeff Jarrett and his altercation with Booker T the Internet has exaggerated. This incident was no big deal. However Don Tony has been saying TNA better pray the 'inmates don't start running the asylum'. Because if they do, those main eventers will soon realize TNA needs them much more than they need TNA. And that is when they start taking advantage of Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Carter, and TNA..
•  
• Have you seen the wacky hype TNA has given to Sojourner Bolt who was added to the Knockouts Division? Don Tony compares her to a Black Balloon. You know what happens if you over inflate a balloon right?..
•  
• Don Tony calls Perry Saturn's current job? Details of that phone call and what happened..
•  
• Will you look at the time. It's 00:12. Hey Gabe, you're 15 minutes of fame is about to run out. Don Tony almost feels bad for Gabe Sapolsky. His blogs and 'shoots' are desperate attempts for TNA, WWE, or another elite company to notice him. Amazing that he prefers to sit home and write blogs about Sabu, then go out and get a 9-5 job to support his wife. Id be embarrassed if I ever did that to my wife..
•  
• Laughing at Jason Powell, Bob Magee, and all these marky websites that titled news articles of Rob Van Dam's appearance for the Royal Rumble as 'Huge Breaking News'. As much as we enjoyed RVD's appearance, it was a novelty. A feel good moment. Not 'huge breaking unbelievable let me c** in my pants' news..
•  
• What happened to Cryme Time 'repackaging' Hacksaw Jim Duggan? We like good ole Hacksaw. But unless WWE adds some additional 'veterans' to their TV, Duggan just sticks out too much (in a bad way)..
•  
• Showing love to Carlito, Ron Killings, John Morrison, and even Triple H's work during the Royal Rumble match. Unfortunately for Big Show, CM Punk, Kozlov, Great Khali, and others, they were sloppier than pigs in sh**..
•  
• Don Tony and Kevin Castle also feel that wrestlers like RVD, CM Punk, and others need 'command' of the ring. When bunched in Battle Royals and Royal Rumbles, they tend to lose their way and perform lackluster..
•  
• Kudos to WWE for letting Randy Orton ad lib much more in his promos. It allows his emotions and work to come off much more natural..
•  
• Two weeks ago we had the idea that HBK would fail at helping JBL with his title shots. And as a result, JBL will 'force' HBK to wrestle Undertaker at Wrestlemania. After last week's Raw, that idea seems very possible. Because a JBL vs HBK match at Mania would not be memorable. WWE needs to remember that ALOT of people still think this storyline sucks..
•  
• AC/DC performing at Wrestlemania 25 and the audio tease played on Raw you likely missed..
•  
• Mickey Rourke. Kevin Castle has been a fan of his work for over a decade. There are many reasons why Rourke has agreed to appear at Wrestlemania 25. And at 56 years old, it is not just for the nice payday, exposure, and his award winning performance in The Wrestler. DT and KC both feel that Chris Jericho is the perfect foe for Rourke. Many seem to have forgotten Y2J's celebrity status, albeit much lower than Mickey Rourke..
•  
• Here's an idea. Have Ric Flair in the corner of Mickey Rourke. Next week we discuss who can be in the corner of Chris Jericho..
•  
• Yeah Vince McMahon wouldn't acknowledge or say anything good about The Wrestler. However now with the awards and publicity in place, he warmed up and will now turn it into a Wrestlemania match. Its easy to criticize McMahon for his original selfish behavior. But instead, give him credit that he did warm up to it - even though he had no choice when you think about it..
•  
• Ring Of Honor gets a TV deal with HDnet. Message to Cary Silken - you have to start adding mainstream names to your roster if you want your audience to expand..
•  
• No we do not feel sorry for George Anthony for flipping out and considering suicide over the death of Caylee Anthony. When you hear our reasons why, you may agree with us. That J Peterman look alike is a moron..
•  
• Kevin Castle told you months ago Awesome Kong would start having knee and back problems if she didn't drop some weight. Now she has some serious issues, that could require surgery..
•  
• Looking at the lavish lifestyles of Couch Potatoes now compared to 1985..
•  
• Details on how you can buy the SIX Volume Legends of Wrestling DVD set we've been talking about for over a week..
•  
• Our .02 on Col DeBeers Shoot Interview.. Cryme Time in the WWE doghouse.. Joe Torre's new book about the NY Yankees.. Mike Graham.. The ever so horrible Consequences Creed.. LA Times' stupid comments on Mickey Rourke.. Kofi Kingston deserving of an Elimination Chamber spot?.. Julie Hart and her crash course on wrestling knowledge..
