- In news that is sure to make Hornswoggle fans happy, Lionsgate and WWE Studios are set to make a reboot of Leprechaun. The original film starred Warwick Davis as an evil Leprechaun who is captured for his gold and goes on a murderous rampage after being freed. The film was one of Jennifer Aniston's first starring roles and spawned five sequels and a comic book series.

There is currently no writer, director or stars attached to the film, which is set for a 2013 release with a sequel contracted as well.

I think they'll have The Miz play the lead role, personally. I think he could pull it off! <_<

I think the guy is spot on. Even if you HATED the Cena Rap, it was two minutes long and didnt get in the way of anything.

WIth the Rock Concert he used up the end of the show,which could have otherwise been used to, I dont know, build the WWE title match or something. He had a live mic for that long and can you honestly say that it was worth it? He went uninterrupted, minus the Eve thing it was all stuff hes already said, to only one tune, Of all the 20 minute segments WWE could have put together, we got THAT.

When I think about it and can't honestly say it was more interesting than a long-winded Triple H promo, it just wasnt effective entertainment and if you can't see that you have to either love Rock to an unhealthy level or hate Cena at MWC levels (hell MORE than that, MWC was swayed by the rap of all things)

A 20 minute segment that the fans were engaged in and enjoying.

Whether your like The Rock or not, or whether you think he sucks or not, the fact of the matter is that during that segment he had the audience singing along and enjoy themselves. And at the end of the day, the show is all about entertainment. Sometimes things can be done for just that sake. Like the Funkasaurus. There's no larger goal in mind, but why does there have to be?

You may not think The Rock is entertaining, but a lot of people do. That doesn't make them wrong, because at the end of the day that's the most important aspect to the WWE. You can talk about "proper builds" and all that stuff, but it doesn't mean squat if the fans are sitting on their hands and barely engaged with the product.

I mean, I can understand wanting more build-up for the WWE Championship match and I think CM Punk is being underutilized, but if people want The Rock and they want The Rock to perform a concert, I'm perfectly fine with it.

Besides, Punk/Miz lost nearly 900,000 viewers last RAW. Miz is the biggest boat-anchor of all time (and thus it seems fair to blame him for Survivor Series) or Punk is struggling to get the fans behind him.

Why?

From a wrestling standpoint. Menounos has already shown herself to be not horrific. One of the core tenets of Wrestlemania from day one is heavy celebrity involvement. I have no real issue with this.

I dunno, this seems like gratuitous celebrity involvement. It doesn't advance Beth Phoenix's championship domination angle. It doesn't advance Eve's being a slut angle.

They should form a tag-team called Dominant Sluts.

Come out in Dominatrix gear and stuff.

Gratuitous may be the wrong word. It's just kinda silly to put Eve and Beth's storylines on hold for completely random celebrity crap. I'd approve of this more if it was like Kelly and Maria vs the Bella Twins or something.

Yeah I thought we all knew by now that Wrestlemania basically isnt about wrestling.

I mean two of the matches are basically starring Wrestling celebrities (Trips/Taker and Rock/Cena). Im just glad this probably means no Shaq involvement in Rhodes/Show.

So for everyone complaining on the Rock's Concert, does anyone have the rating for the segment and Raw breakdown? I enjoyed the segment because it was Rock, but breaking it down yeah I see why people think it was lame. So what were the numbers behind it?

As noted before, Monday's WWE RAW Supershow from Cleveland did a 3.29 cable rating with 4.84 million viewers. RAW was the #1 show on cable for the night and unlike recent trends, it did better in the second hour - largely due to the segment with Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.

Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler lost 6,000 viewers coming out of the opener with John Cena rapping. That's a good loss as usually the second RAW segment loses several hundred thousand viewers. David Otunga & Mark Henry vs. Santino Marella gained 225,000 viewers - also a good number and a good sign for the Teddy Long vs. John Laurinaitis storyline.

Brodus Clay vs. Jinder Mahal lost 276,000 viewers while the segment with Michaels and Undertaker gained 869,000 viewers to a 3.73 quarter rating. This is the best quarter on RAW in several weeks. CM Punk vs. The Miz then lost 888,000 viewers - which is the biggest segment drop in a while.

Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton gained 58,000 viewers. The final segment with The Rock singing gained 509,000 viewers, which is actually below average for an overrun. It did a 3.51 quarter rating. The final segment with The Rock went from a 3.1 to a 3.8 rating with Males 18-49, from a 2.3 to a 2.7 in Teen Males, from 1.3 to 1.4 in Women 18-49 and stayed at a 1.1 rating for Teen Females.

So People liked Cena's rap and mostly stuck around
People like HBK
People kinda like Orton
and Rock is about on par with whatever they throw at the end

I was trying to think of what they could do for Mania rewind

and all they can do is Big Show and Cena unless I am missing something. They could do Trips Cena but that's like it and are you really doing Cena Trips BEFORE Mania?

Are they really doing another Abyss' brother angle? It is SUPPOSED to be his brother like I think Judas Mesias was? Or is it just Abyss being crazy?

He was played by Ricky Bandaras, and it was during that time Abyss and James Mitchell were feuding. We found out James Mitchell is Abyss' dad or something, and he brought in Abyss brother...


It's almost like Taker/Kane/Paul Bearer now that I think of it.

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt37rzo2Jk1r4d7qpo11_r2_400.gif

It was exactly like Taker/Kane/Bearer that's half the reason it was so bad.

The other half being that the Kane of the story was more like an Isaac Yankem DDS or Fake Diesel than Kane as far as credibility goes.

Santino is scared of Kingston's pyro. Genius.

...and somewhere along the line Otunga became decent. Couple of really nice moves here, though maybe he's getting carried a bit by Kofi.
