R.I.P. Mae Young :(

 

Her life support machine has been switched off! It was coming, but it's still a little saddening. At least she had a nice, lengthy life though!

Dunno bout you guys, but I'm actually excited for this!

It would certainly save you a Sky Sports subscription. The only must-see I have is the Royal Rumble though, so probably wouldn't subscribe to everything - I wonder if they'll do one-off shows at, say $5 a pop? Probably not as I think you can do that already can't you?

 

It says on Wikipedia that 'On January 9th, 2014, she was taken off life support and placed under hospice care at home.' so she hasn't gone yet...but it won't be long I suspect. 90 years and most of it spent still getting into the ring!

It's still not completely and utterly confirmed yet but it's completely impossible that she'll last another few days. Getting my tissue out though cause it's coming :(

There it is...

Actually a little sad about this. My earliest memory of Mae Young was the Royal Rumble 2000!

 

"PUPPIESSSSSS" :P

She is not dead apparently :o this is so confusing :(

Surely not another storyline!?

Surely not another storyline!?

I think I reacted on the news too early. She is still alive but in weak condition. She apparently uttered two days "I know" to an childhood friend who said everyone was pulling for you.

 

It won't happen but I would laugh if Mae makes it to 100 and gets that match with Stephanie she's wished for.

 

 

lol at this :lol:

 

skip to 4:05

What's so funny about that Pablo :unsure:

BEST ENDING. EVER.

 

I'm still on a high!

 

That crowd reaction. OH. MY. GOD. I can watch it forever and ever!

Oh, it's official now. :(

What a career/life she had though. To be respected :D

On to positive things in the thread now. Anyone actually looking forward to Rumble this year. I know it's been extremely disappointing the past few year but I'm thinking this years if it goes smoothly might be one of the best Rumble PPV's in a while and hopefully the rumble match will be too. They need to go back to 2 minutes I think and not let guys enter throwing people out straightaway. I'd prefer a few spots where the rumble is crowded this year. WWE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

I think it's a forgone conclusion that:

 

1) Batista will win the Royal Rumble

 

2) John Cena will defeat Randy Orton for the title then feud with Brock Lesnar

 

I also have a feeling that Roman Reigns will eliminate both of the other members of the shield and one of the Rhodes brothers will eliminate the other (probably Cody eliminating Goldust)

i'm a fan of the WWE music, and also i like randy orton

 

sometimes watch the paper views as well
