Yea was very confused as well. That Braun promo was hilariously bad. The ending stuff was passable. Not many matches tonight.

 

MVP signed a new contract

WWE star signs multi-year contract | Wrestling News

 

Why???

 

Getting paid before retirement probably, dude is in his mid-40s and WWE prison contracts are still the best way for most people to make allot of money in a relatively short amount of time.

 

Uhhh I dunno why else would anyone sign a contract with WWE? It's obviously for the money.

 

Good for him! He was one of the surprise wrestlers for this past Royal Rumble and he got totally overshadowed by Edge (and Brock doing his thing). I honestly didn’t think he was going to stick around. Glad he was able to make the best out of it.

MVPs stable is one of the only decent things on Raw, right now. Dude saved Lashley's career. So the contract is well deserved

 

But when he was on that Vice show The Wrestlers it made him out to be some has been bum.

 

He hasn't been out of work for most of the last 15 years and he's still decent on TV, no reason not to pick him up if they like what he is doing.

 

WWE legend Kamala passed away

Kamala Passes Away

 

Damn if there was one Wrestler I was terrified of as a kid,it was Kamala.!! His warrior mask then his face paint scared the living shit outta me!
May he RIP as last I heard he was in bad shape and health, iirc he had a leg amputated.

 

R.I.P. rest in peace legend.

 

That along with his entrance music (the tribal scream at the start) always had me cowering under my blanket when I would watch wrestling as a kid late at night. RIP

 

Hahah so I wasn't the only one terrified of him when I was a kid.!? Lol,dude I swear there were 2 Kamala's/tag team back in the day that ruined my childhood even more.!

 

Kamala actually faced Daniel Bryan in ROH

 

I think his partner was called the Botswana Beast.

 

  Kamala.
It's a gimmick that wouldn't work nowadays due to concerns over racial stereotyping, but it was VERY effective back then. Jim Harris was pretty agile for a big guy, and played the part of a battle-oriented tribal warrior perfectly, down to his mannerisms and facial expressions. I always liked how he would pin his opponent upside-down (see, because he's from deepest, darkest Africa and doesn't fully understand pro wrestling), forcing Kim Chee and whoever else his manager was to try to get him to turn his opponent over  

He unfortunately had to have both legs amputated due to diabetes, I believe.

Funny you mention his entrance music.
By sheer coincidence, the same day he passed, the members of my wrestling entrance music forum finally found all the parts to his WWF music, after the community had been searching for 20+ years. It's actually a mashup of 3 separate tracks, 2 from an album of African tribal music, and one commercially-released track, Sunny Earth by Vangelis (who later composed the theme to Chariots of Fire). I made my own edit and posted it on there. So finally we have his music in full lossless stereo    
I know collecting pro wrestling entrance music is an extremely niche hobby, but stuff like this is a HUGE high.

 

Mickie James is returning to Raw tonight

 

Funniest thing I saw today, SF2 with WWE camera work -
