May as well not bother with the Best of Raw DVD when they reach Raw is War. Or even 1996, come to think of it (despite being PG at the time, it still doesn't fit in with the current PG).

Thank Christ for SilverVision's back catalogue.

It would make sense, what with him being the one that ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin.

It would make more sense for it to be The Rock as he did for him.

I'm already getting hit with Questions! Ha! This "Best of Nitro" is a DVD box collection that will include the years 95/96, 97/98 & 99/2001

Looks like the idea of Seasons has been dropped then. Would have expected at least 2 volumes. Fingers crossed for 4 discs.

Is Shawn Osborne / Shawn McGrath anybody famous? Apparently he killed himself on Wednesday.

God I love the fan-made endings. The Metal Gear one was ace, but that Abyss one takes home the prize.

He wasn't famous; I don't think any of us had heard of him until his suicide :(

Did you know him or something, Rinks?

Apparently he was on WWE's developmental roster, in particular Florida Championship Wrestling; never made it to the big leagues.

Can't say I'd ever heard of him until this point. I'm sure he'll be the start of many this year, unfortunately.

I haven't been able to watch either for a while now. I'm just so bored of the current product.

Some sites even posted a suicide note he'd emailed them. He did however donate his body-parts to help people...

Former WWE star Rory McAlister posted the following on his Facebook Page, regarding the death of former WWE developmental talent Shawn Osborne: "For Badseed's friends from HWA and Ohio. Per Shawn's request, his donated body parts have now helped 30 people including a young girl who will get to see for the first time. Sinn (Bodhi) wanted me to let the boys know his wishes were being followed through on." Osborne passed away a few days ago, due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.


Good chap. But sad that he decided ending his life was the best thing to do. Certainly understand the feeling though.

And on a lighter note, there are rumblings that Booker T will be returning to the WWE at the Royal Rumble.

WWE Superstars has been given a new timeslot on Sky1: Saturday's at 9am. It used to be on Friday at 5pm.

Controller of Sky1...not a WWE fan, clearly.


This week's TNA iMPACT! did a 1.3 rating, with 1.9 million viewers.
