Eddie had his daughter in the ring at one point during a house show, and a fan threw a beer at him, he let the crowd take care of it in the moment, and finished the work, but a few moments after he got her behind the curtains, he FLEW out from the back and made a beeline towards the guy, all the fans begged him to calm down and told him it wasn't worth it - he thanked them, said they were right, thanked god and left.

The funniest thing about McMahon v Pandas is that the Pandas actual legal claim was "old people are stupid and may get confused and give money to the wrong group". While they won the battle of the names (which is funny given by that point they themselves weren't actually known as the WWF) it didn't gain them much as they repeatedly lost any financial claims as the judges rightfully pointed out "no, people aren't as stupid as you claim"

​@KadenHartley the point is that rent for ANYTHING in Times Square is unbelievably astronomical, meaning ANY business trying to turn a profit there has an almost insurmountable uphill battle ahead of them. The fact that WWE, during the biggest boom period, still struggled, is indicative of a problem far greater than WWE.

Even after all these years you still get the evolution thing wrong. Triple H debuted the group, batista got injured so they put it on hold. He then re injured himself trying to heal too fast. WWE then pitched Jindrak but after seeing the vignettes and how he and randy were together HHH begged WWE to wait for Batista to come back and make him the 4th. Jindrak was only ever considered and was not ever the first pick. Every member of evolution has said the same thing, even Jindrak.

For those out of the loop the panda in South Park was there to teach the kids about s*xual harassment.

Personal opinion: rather than using the name Lord Tensei, they couldve named him Emperor or Lord Arubāto. It not only represents his Japanese gimmick and his time in japan, it's also a nod to the fact that his old name was Albert/A-Train. Not to mention it's literally the Japanese pronunciation for Albert, (put it in google translate and you will see the Japanese Characters typed out as well)
