Funny story, when Undertaker lost to Brock, a mate text me and said "Liverpool are winning the league, then".

His are lame tho.
Excuse me? The power to turn lights on and off at will is lame? Pft.

Also, I found this letter from Warrior's wife posted on WWE.com:

Dearest Warriors,

It is with an absolutely broken heart I reach out to you. Since the passing of my husband, I have been fortunate enough to insulate my sweet girls and myself from the outside world. In this bubble we have grieved and continue to do so. For a week, I did not allow any television or media to seep through our cocoon. I was told, though, of the outpouring of love for my beloved husband and support for, as he always called us, his Warrior Girls. I can only say thank you.

On Sunday night, I was told WWE would pay tribute to Warrior and so I set the DVR planning to watch it when we were ready. As the hour neared, I broke resolve and turned on every TV in the house to full blast and snuggled our daughters close to me on the couch, unsure what we would see. As the scene unfolded with that amazing roster of talent gathered donning Ultimate Warrior shirts and even his face paint, we cheered and sobbed simultaneously. To everyone who stood there, thank you. My girls will remember your bowed heads for the rest of their lives. You are not just Superstars; you are super people.

I cannot put words to what that video tribute meant. We watched it multiple times and, this morning, it was how I started my day; mornings are the hardest for me. I will treasure that song and those images more than anything I own. Vindication. ULTIMATE PERFECTION.

I was told it was reported WWE was "there" for us. "There" is the understatement of a lifetime. They were a warm blanket to us three and we were quickly absorbed into their family. Words are cheap; promises are forever. This family is one I'm honored to be a member of and will gladly be the warm blanket to any of them who need me next.

My husband's speech had so many highlights for me as I sat proudly in the audience looking on at his moment ... I most loved his request for the Hall of Fame to include the, as he called them, "true Superstars," those behind-the-scenes people who make the machine run. See, I'm the person who puts up the ring in our house. I'm the background person who makes things happen seamlessly. I am surrounded by performers in my husband and children, so I felt a kinship with all the people he wanted to shine a spotlight upon who make WWE work. He loved you all, and knew that each of you made his run there possible. Thank you!

To all the ULTIMATE WARRIOR fans: THANK YOU!! He told me when he shook the ropes it was him gathering strength from each of you. Warrior respected you and loved you as do the girls and I. I will reach out to the ropes for your strength to sustain me in the sad days that the girls and I face. UNWAVERING is what you've been. GRATEFUL is what we are.

The Undertaker and I have a lot more in common than you might think. You see, I had a bit of a streak of my own going for the last 20 years. Yes, Warrior and I would have matches of our own ... He would yell, I would cry, he would submit, I would win - always. My quivering chin and "pooched" lip was always more powerful than any clothesline or gorilla press slam. He'd laugh and shake his head and say,"you win, Pooch," but really we both did.

My streak was broken April 8, 2014 when he collapsed. I fought and screamed and cried for him not to leave me, but I wasn't to win this round. Heaven won and I lost, but I had the ULTIMATE love for 20 years and my children learned to be Warriors from THE ULTIMATE DAD. I wouldn't trade a moment of the life we shared, good or bad, for anything on God's green earth. He is the love of my life and gave me the gift of our beautiful, sweet, amazing girls. He was loyal and kind and strong and brave. He taught me to live by his creed,"Live Strong, Act Bold, Be Brave. Nothing's too hard to do, ALWAYS BELIEVE," and with that creed I will carry on and make him proud.

Streaks are broken but legends live forever.

Always Believe,

Dana A. Warrior

Three tombstones for Bryan to start the show. One on the outside, one on the steel steps and one on the announcers table. Not too surprised, expect it's to write him out of tonight's show and possibly even next weeks show to give him a week or possibly two off as his father just passed away. Came out crying to open the show.

Also at least gives some momentum going into the title match at Extreme Rules.

He'll be a heel, despite having the exact same obnoxious face type character as Cena. Oh WWE, you crack me up... it'll be awkward when Bo Dallas gets cheered for this stuff while Cena still gets booed

Wasn't Barrett from Manchester, England? When did that change?

And Linda McMahon is a republican. She can't be happy with HHH going on about Evolution and the "Believe in Evolution" bit.

I just watched Monday's Raw.

Cesaro v RVP suprisingly stunk. I'm guessing these two never wrestled before.

Good to see Kane back as a monster. Whichever Bella is married to Bryan is the worst actress ever, her reaction and scream when she saw Kane was ridiculous.

Aksana looks like she's been at the pies. Paige's finisher still looks great.

Rusev needs some better moves. The camel clutch has always been bank.

Cena is great. The Wyatts are great

Flair should come back to Evolution, Sting should join the Shield in reply.

Bo Dallas looks like he could be amusing, Adam Rose looks to have the worst gimmick since Eugene.

Brie, Cena is ploughing Nikki.

To be fair, it's a partially accurate statement, Cesaro had indeed never wrestled RVP.

What do you think is great about Cena? He's killing my interest in this angle with the Wyatts with how he keeps reacting to Wyatt's promos.

I think he's great on the mic, takes really good bumps and is putting over all of the Wyatts really well over the past few weeks. He's in a odd spot as the companies main man but half the audience seem to hate him.

I would actually pay quite a lot to see Cesaro v RVP, maybe that was wishful thinking on my part!

I think Cena's good with the right opponent like Bryan, Punk or the Rock. I lose interest quick when he is supposed to be the 100% good guy and half the audience is cheering/supporting the heel. It's always the same and becomes a clusterfeck the longer the angle goes on because Wyatt is trying his hardest to get booed and he can't despite how good his promos and act are because he's against someone half the audience can't stand. Against anyone else, he would not be a tweener.

Funnily enough Cena's promos are what are killing this angle for me. One week he is scared of the Wyatts, one week he is treating them like a comedy act and then the next he is scared/taking them seriously again. Maybe that's why I normally get into his stuff when he is working against Bryan, Punk or the Rock as he stays away from the comedy stuff then.

Liking most other things with WWE at the moment so not a big deal in the overall scheme of the show.

BTW - I don't normally watch Smackdown but it sounds quite good tonight. Spoilers below

Shield are booked in another eleven man tag but basically go through a lot of the lower card guys before the match happens throughout the show. Nothing particularly noteworthy about that but some of the spots and bumps these lower card guys take sounds intense. Fandango's goes through a table from the stage and the rest get beat down throughout the show.

RVD is shit, so it's not really a surprise that Cesaro couldn't drag a good match out of him.

Haven't seen all of RAW yet, just about to start the tag title match when I stopped watching. Sheamus/Barrett was fun.

A children's choir were on the stage singing "He's got the whole world in his hands". It went to break, then all the kids were standing around the ring in sheep masks.

No, really.
I missed the last part of the segment so had no idea how it finished. Saw Cena broke down on his knees in the centre of the ring with that look on his face:lol:

Cena is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. He is unintentionally hilarious
