WORDS I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN IF IT WEREN'T FOR WRESTLING: CONSORTIUM

con-sor-ti-um [kuhn-sawr-shee-uhm, -tee-]

- noun, plural -ti-a [-shee-uh, -tee-uh]

1. a combination of financial institutions, capitalists, etc., for carrying into effect some financial operation requiring large resources of capital.

2. any association, partnership, or union.

3. Ric Flair

Origin:

November 19th, 2001 on Monday Night Raw.

History:

Shane and Stephanie sold their share of WWF stock (which they still owned when they were spearheading the WCW/ECW vs. WWF feud) to a "consortium" which ended up just being a fancy word for Ric Flair, which made Flair and Vince McMahon co-owners of the WWF. I still don't understand this word. Thanks, wrestling!

MOMENTS 2009: ORTON PUNTS VINCE, RKO'S AND KISSES STEPHANIE

These three moments set this feud ablaze.

(Click the images for the videos)

THE

PUNT

THE

RKO

I was SO over Triple H by this point, but when he came running out to save Stephanie, I lost it.

I mean seriously, look at this fucking psycho:

Wouldn't you be excited for the blowoff match? Or at least a home invasion of some sort?! I KNOW I WAS! ... not so much the home invasion because that was retarded.

THE

KISS

After these three moments, I was praying for Triple H to destroy Orton at WrestleMania. That's a pretty good sign of a feud on the right tracks.

Until... (see above).
