Warrior & Hogan continue war of words, "Karma is coming to pick up" update
Former WWE champion Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan have followed one another attack on Twitter. After promising to keep negative energy, Hogan has started retweeting messages representing Guerrero in a negative light, such as:
"Guerrero was a jatobá." Hulkamania is still run wild... "Brother".
"Warrior is just jealous and angry about the sad form all ended for him... without a whimper".
"Guerrero disappointed a large number of fans in & more." It is not something that can never be forgiven easily. "Or forgotten".
Guerrero fired Hogan comparing what a pet than at the end of his rope.
"They say that I hate Hogan." He never did, "he wrote." "As a mascot beloved favorite that has reached the end of its useful life, time to put an end to their suffering".
Guerrero also yesterday revealed in a blog entry on their official website that their much anticipated video "Karma is coming to pick up" will be approximately one hour long and surface online next week. It also says that it is developing a project of major media and is legitimately on Twitter.
"Find out still working Twitter," he wrote. "Once I get down to levels that are warriors with drying of creativity, courage and wisdom, each starts with intensity of Ultimate Warrior."

Fink Talks WrestleMania, HHH-Metallica, 'Mania Feuds To Continue?

-- Arda Ocal & Jimmy Korderas caught up with WWE Hall of Famer and the only man to ever appear at every WrestleMania event since it's inception - Howard Finkel - on Right After Wrestling earlier this week. Here are some highlights:
His favorite celebrity to work with and celebrity involvement at WrestleMania: "Where do I begin. Of course, Muhammad Ali. At that time, he was to boxing what Hulk Hogan was to wrestling. Years to years, I worked with Joan Rivers in 1986 and enjoyed meeting her. Donald Trump - how could you go wrong with Donald Trump. What an entrepreneur he is and a class-act that he was. A lot of these celebrities were fans - some weren't. But once many of them 'got the rub' from the WWE/F machine, they became fans from then on"
On how unique WrestleMania is as an event and why it continues to deliver: "It's classified as 'expecting the unexpected'. There is no other event - on the face of this Earth, in my humble opinion - that can give you bang-for-your-buck every year, consistently. You want the very best of events - in entertainment - it's WrestleMania."
On his defining moment in his career and at WrestleMania: "Personally, WrestleMania 3 - Pontiac Silverdome, 1987. To stand in the middle of the ring and look around at 93,173 people looking down at us - myself, and the WWF superstars, that was the greatest moment for me. And just to know all those people were there to have a good time and I had to perform - to ring annonounce - for those people...that'll never happen again. I don't think I'll ever work in front of crowds that huge - that 'landmarkish' - ever again. I was absolutely filled with pride for Vince (McMahon) on that day."
