So WWE finally did it. No longer are they World Wrestling Entertainment but rather just WWE inc. This is something that has been talked about for quite some time, that WWE were going to take another big step away from being a professional wrestling organization. Ironically though they have also removed the ‘Entertainment’ part from their name and to me that is the real thing they are lacking right now. continue reading…

This week IN THE ROOM, Brady Hicks, DJ, and Kevin McElvaney are joined by a special guest as Young John returns to the program. Together, the gang recounts all that they enjoyed – and all that miffed them – about this year’s WrestleMania show, from buildup to final fadeout. Listen as the gang goes in depth about The Rock/John Cena situation, The Undertaker/Triple-H match and what worked (and didn’t), and the disappointing elimination of Daniel Bryan/Sheamus from the televised card. Plus, Brady talks some Hall of Fame, and previews NEXT WEEK’s special guest.

What else can I say…….the title says it all.  OK, fine, you want specifics.  I can do that.  But first let me start off by saying that this was Wrestlemania……the biggest PPV of the year……the measuring stick……blah, blah, blah.  This seemed more like an old In Your House pay-per-view.  Don’t get me wrong: there were some good moments.  But they were always overshadowed by the confusing, questionable and down-right bad.  I will deal with this in two parts, so let’s start from the beginning:

I’m sure I’m out of touch with all the Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet for my Valentine that I listen too, but I never heard of Keri Hilson.  That doesn’t make her bad – just an odd choice.  I thought maybe they’d choose someone that fit more with their demographics.  Oh well, not a big thing……on to the show.

Some of you may have seen that WWE have finally come out and said they are no longer a wrestling company but rather a “Global Media Company”. It is even reported they want to change their name to remove the word wrestling(MAYBE A JOKE). It is also obvious that WWE’s entire WrestleMania build has been about buy rate with the actual matches coming as more of an after thought. So if WWE are the leaders in ‘Sports Entertainment’ and we are wrestling fans, where does that leave us? continue reading…

Whoa! Hey! Check it out, mates, as BUSHWACKER LUKE WILLIAMS brings a big ol’ bucket of sardines IN THE ROOM with Brady Hicks, DJ, and Kevin McElvaney for a very special, UNCENSORED WRESTLEMANIA SUNDAY BRUNCH edition of the show. What does Bushwacker Luke think about his more than 40 years in the wrestling business, and what does he think about tonight’s WrestleMania show, as well as his successful runs as a member of both the ultra-violent Sheepherders as well as uber-lovable Bushwackers? Pull up yer listenin’ buds and listen in, buds! WHOA!

On the Transition from Being a Sheepherder to Being a Bushwacker:
It was another thing, mate. We were wanting to get into the WWE for quite some time. Sometimes it’s just the right thing at the right time. They had just gotten rid of the British Bulldogs. We just flew up there and Vince [McMahon] said, “What do you think about being the good guys?” And we were like, “Why not come in as the bad guys and then change us down the line.” But Vince said, “That’s not the way I do things.” Butch jumped up on Vince’s desk, and his nose was six inches to a foot from Vince’s nose, and said to Vince, “If you can make these faces babyfaces, then go ahead.” So Butch says go for it. That was a highlight. So Butch says go for it. That was a highlight. We went up and started doing vignettes every week for a month, and then we came on TBS in Upstate New York  and we were the babyfaces. People were like, “Those guys can’t be those vioent sheepherders.” But we were. We were marching around looking to lick people’s heads and having a good time.
