Short Clips of Paul & Stephanie's Wedding
Commentary on the March 16th
Edition of Raw
Speaking of non-verbal answers Triple H made the statement of the night and he didn’t say a word, either. When Todd Grisham asked him on his way to the car how he persuaded RAW General Manager Vickie Guerrero to lower a steel cage over his match with Cody Rhodes he slammed the door and kissed his wife, Stephanie McMahon. Maybe it's the backstage dynamic; maybe it's the fact that Triple H and Stephanie really are in love; or maybe it's always just an odd sight to see a tough guy like Triple H get all gooey. But any good serial drama needs a couple. Triple H and Stephanie are a good one and I'd love to see them continue their on screen dynamic past Wrestlemania.

Still Lashed to the Mast of Controversy
If Bobby Lashley, 32, thought his MMA life would be free from beyond-the-ring drama (a regular element in his pro wrestling stint from fall 2005 to winter 2008), the events surrounding his second MMA bout have blown that belief sky-high.
Lashley was poised to move up in caliber from his inaugural tussle, a Dec. 12, 2008 fight against fellow first-timer Joshua Franklin. His next opponent: Shamrock, a UFC Hall of Famer and 45-year-old first-generation icon from way back when they used to call the sport "extreme fighting." Then word came down from on high -- the California State Athletic Commission -- that Shamrock had tested positive for three banned substances in his previous bout, a knockout win over Ross Clifton on Feb. 13 in Fresno...More?
