I am having a hard time remembering his name too. Is it chief crazy horse? I honestly cant think of his name though, he looks really familair. Is it one of the Race brothers?

You're probably thinking of Wahoo McDaniels or Chief J Strongbow.

No That's not him.

WWE is cool.. I think Randy Orton will win it this year.. seems that there is no end to his Main Event push..

The claw was Baron Von Raschke. The Crusher was more of a brawler.

I like WWE and all, but does anyone ever keep up the indys? I used to be a wrestling junkie, but now I just watch it when I can, and just keep up with everything. I'd kill for Benoit to win the RR.

I would not be as happy if Benoit won the rumble. He won it a couple years ago and went on to win the championship at wrestlemania but I just didnt think he was a credible champion with all the other guys at the time in the buisness. He is cool though dont get me wrong. I just have a feeling Triple H will be getting a major push again, he hasnt held the belt for a while and there is no way they will let EDGE run with the belt much longer. And there is no way in blue blazes heck I want John Cena to win the belt back, I really do not like his charector anymore.
