• John Bradshaw Layfield retires. Don Tony and Kevin Castle look back at what JBL will be best remembered for â being an assh*le towards fellow wrestlers..
• Anyone notice the two things WWE copied from TNA this past week? Don Tony noticed, and doesn't like it at all..
• HBK vs Undertaker from Wrestlemania. Not only the match of the year, but this was likely the greatest match either will have for the remainder of their career. Not much could ever top it..
• Even though the Chris Jericho vs Legends match was crapola, how great was Ricky Steamboat?! Its amazing to think the three stars above were the only shining moments of Wrestlemania. And how old are they?!..
• As much as we liked Steamboat on Wrestlemania and Raw, he shouldn't wrestle often at all. We wouldn't mind to see Steamboat vs Jericho on the next PPV, as DT compares it to Rocky V. And what made Steamboat's Raw appearance so special? WWE went against the grain..
• Don Tony warned everyone a month ago. WWE had to be real careful with Randy Orton's heel character. Because the path they were on, DT felt fans would soon find his character cool. Anyone notice the loud RKO chants while he was attacked Vince McMahon on Raw, and during an earlier promo?. DT thinks that Orton's heel character is also over because he doesn't come off as 'TV PG'..
• WWE puts ridiculous time constraints on inductees at Hall Of Fame which resulted in a rather shi**y ceremony. That was totally disrespectful..
• Triple H 'invades' Randy Orton's home. Orton knocks out Stephanie and kisses her. Legacy handcuffs Triple H and beats him to a pulp. HHH destroys Cody Rhodes a few weeks back to 'send Orton a message'. So we expect a bloodbath to occur at Wrestlemania. So what did we get? Headlocks, wrestling moves, and a stupid sledgehammer shot. That match arguably is the worst Wrestlemania main event of all time..
• Rey Mysterio does his Heath Ledger impersonation at Wrestlemania. Was it appropriate to emulate a man that died from a self induced drug overdose? Yeah yeah we know the argument. He was the Joker at 'Mania. Sorry, but with that makeup and hair he wore, everyone (including us) immediately thought of Heath Ledger when we saw Rey Rey..
• Jimmy Snuka pitching a Reality Show to networks emulating 'Randy The Ram'? Snuka is one of DT and KC's all time favorites. But he needs to take a page from Julie Hart and quietly pack it in..
• Gotta love the websites that played April Fools jokes on those prestigious wrestling news websites. Everyone except for Dave Meltzer exposed their true lack of connections in wrestling. Funny how their 'sources' are always around when needed â except for April 1st and 2nd..
• How pathetic was that Divas Battle Royal at 'Mania? It was great to see Molly Holly, Victoria, Sunny, Miss Jackie, and others â all 3.2 seconds of TV time. Oh yeah, Joy Giovanni was there too. But we could care less about that. And message to Ivory. Lots of fans wished you were there and didn't forget about you..
• Don Tony is not so sure about the rumors of Trish Stratus not appearing cause Santino was winning Miss Wrestlemania. DT thinks that her absence may lead to a return in a different capacity. Check out this interesting opinion by DT..
• Can someone explain why Kid Rock performed so fu**ing long at Mania? Long enough to bump the Tag Team title change and unification? We like Kid Rock. But that was not necessary to have him out there that long. And based on several fans who attended Mania that spoke to us, fans were not into Kid Rock at all. They were there for the wrestlers..
• Few weeks ago, Kevin Castle insisted WWE bring the gimmick back. And it appears, that The Hurricane could be brought back to TV very soon. Stand Back!..
• Tazz' contract expires with WWE and doesn't renew. DT and KC look at Tazz' imminent future, his Smackdown replacement, and the idea of having Tazz replace Don West in TNA..
• Heel turn for CM Punk coming?..
• Don Tony shows some compassion for Vicky Guerrero?..
• Monty Brown returning to WWE?..
• As much as we praised Jim Ross' BBQ sauce and ketchup, we had no idea how ridiculously high the shipping charges were for some. There's no excuse why $30 worth of BBQ sauce should cost $16 to ship. Something's wrong here..
• Laughing at websites who thought posting the 'order' of Wrestlemania matches was an exclusive story. Especially when they were not only wrong, but revealed how ignorant some of these morons are..
• Don Tony has been saying it for many years. WWE will never have someone break Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak. But kudos to WWE for making so many think that HBK was going to beat the Deadman..
• Jerry Lawler / Sports Illustrated story reveals The King's disappointment of never having a Wrestlemania match. Looking back at his illustrious career in Memphis, and putting aside some cooky stuff about him, we think he should have at least one match at 'Mania..
• As you can see, this episode is primarily dedicated to Wrestlemania 25. But you will find lots of non Wrestlemania tidbits during the show. We were just too lazy to post them all..
  The bottom line about Wrestlemania 25: Its the âSuper Bowlâ of wrestling. The grand daddy of them all. The pinnacle of Sports Entertainment. Putting aside Taker / HBK and Steamboats 3 minutes, if this were a regular PPV for $35 or $40, we would be fine with it. But this was not Wrestlemania quality. Not by a long shot..
• Our .02 on Batista's surprise return on Raw, next week's WWE draft, Marvin Ward pu**y whipped with Debra Marshall (McMichael, Austin).. Santina Marella nonsense.. Matt Hardy upgrades his look with new ring attire.. Funny story about another 49 year old woman DT came across in a NY nightclub years ago.. Macho Man, Hulk Hogan reality TV show rumors.. Leeann Tweeden.. rumors of Jack Swagger in WWE doghouse.. DT drooling over Gail Kimâs outfit on Raw.. Christopher Daniels returns to TNA TV as Christopher Daniels.. remembering King Kong Bundy.. Sade.. Dolph Ziggler injured..
• Plus your e-mails, calls, chatroom questions and so much more..
