Sean Hayes, who plays “Larry” in the Three Stooges movie and was on RAW a few weeks back, was on Conan O’Brien last week promoting the movie and was making fun of wrestling. Conan sarcastically called it "high brow entertainment". Hayes said it was the last place you’d see him at (this didn't come off quite as negative as this sounds), but referred to it as '350 pound men in speedos and nothing but muscles and boobs' and talked about how ridiculous from the outside a women’s match looks with the stinkface spot.

Chris Jericho did an interview at the Revolver Golden God Awards and said that he wouldn’t be doing WWE SummerSlam in August because he would be touring with Fozzy. Though Jericho is repeatedly saying things about his wrestling plans that turn out to be false, he has been planning for some time to do some stuff this summer with his band, so that’s probably true. He’d be expected back after that.

Steve Austin and Jim Cornette are now both doing a monthly column for Fighting Spirit magazine.

And something for Jam to hunt out: the Bellas are on the cover & feature in the Spanish version of this month's Maxim magazine.

actually giving odds on the Lesnar match

[Zellery]

Or Lesnar could easily be disqualified for pounding Cena's face for longer than a five count.

It's an Extreme Rules match, so no Disqualifications/Count-Outs. The only get out clause for this one is interference which directly leads to someone losing, or a no-contest (Lesnar tries to escape in a car & Cena picks it up with a forklift truck & the show goes off the air with everyone thinking he's dead).

Oh yes, Extreme Rules. I completely forgot.

Lesnar all day for me then.

[KK]

Maybe they'll end up fighting on the building & Cena accidentally pushes Lesnar off the roof. They can then say Lesnar actually fell into the water, despite the water being on the opposite side of the arena.

[Zellery]

I can't see Lesnar losing on his return to the ring.

If he does, WWE have strawberry floated it up already.

[Chocolate Jim]

Perhaps Cena could look him in a freezer ..... Ok ok I'm sorry I'm just getting too silly now

[Jam-Master Jay]

Oh my!

[KK]

If Lesnar loses it'll be the biggest shock in the history of the business. Well, last 6 months.

[Codename 47]

I'm thinking they'll be a spot that leaves Cena 'unconscious'. Even though it's a street fight Lesnar does something that the refs think 'we've gotta stop the match'.

I'm not sure if i'd put my money on Brock because you never know with the WWE. I was sure I had myself a sure fire £15 at Wrestlemania but Randy had to go and lose That said i'm going to put my money on Orton again I think

[Jam-Master Jay]

WWE doing something retarded and ruining things wouldn't be a big shock to me really.

[KK]

What divas that, I don't recognise her? She's hot, too

I think someone told me who it was in the Babe Thread but I can't remember.

VIOLET EROTICA.

Seems she's one of those 'cam whores' which appears to be all the rage at the minute. Which of course means there's a ton of taped material somewhere out there. I'm sure SimonM_89 will be ecstatic at this late night development.
