@JK said in WWE Network:
Ultimate warrior was such a legend
the Warrior was immensely strong and one hell of an athlete but his skills were pretty limited in the ring apparently.
I also heard Ravishing Rick Rude gave him a legitimate beating backstage after he worked too 'stiff'

Met the Bellas and Daniel Bryant while I was in the US. We were walking through Disney Downtown on a pretty quiet friday arvo (Park was heaving) before we headed to the airport and it was actually my wife who spotted the twins and shouts to me "Its the Bellas". They heard and smiled and think due to the Kiwi accent actualyl stopped and said hi. Both are pretty short but fine women. Managed to get some pics too

Speaking of big pushes, from last night... they found the “Holy Grail” of dark matches, long thought lost.

Anybody watch Goldberg v Undertaker from Super Showdown in Saudi Arabia two nights ago?
Holyshit! Botcharama!!
First time they’ve ever met in a ring. Berg is 52; Taker is 54. The ring entrances were great and they probably should have stopped right there. Goldberg spears his head into the ring-post, comes up with a lot of blood. Undertaker tombstone piledrives Goldberg and Bill’s head takes it, for real. There were then a few more botches before the weakened and concussed Goldberg jackhammers Taker but can’t get him fully elevated and he under rotates landing on the back of his head & neck. When fight is over Taker looks a combinations of lucky-to-be-alive whatthefuckjusthappened and i-want-to-kill-Goldberg.
This is no way to earn a living in “retirement.”

@Stockcar86 A bit of a worry!
In other news, apparently Paul Heyman (ECW) and Eric Bischoff (WCW) are being brought into WWE as executive directors of Raw and Smackdown respectively. (real, not storyline authority figures)
