Hogan hinting at Austin,...Macho Man...

So in yet another post on TNA wrestling, I will need to cover the recent rumors of Hulk Hogan on Bubba the love sponge telling people that Austin and Macho might be on their way to TNA. Here is my two cents. As far as Austin is concerned, that is highly unlikely to say the least. Steve Austin had an amazing send-off with last year's HOF, but then again Ric Flair did too the year before. Wow it truly is amazing how the human capacity for money can make anybody do anything. Stone Cold is finished wrestling and I doubt that he would have any desire to continue a career in TNA with all his injuries. As far as Macho Man is concerned,..doesn't he have heat with Hogan? I mean along with his age of 93 years (sarcasm)what can he bring to the table? I used to criticize TNA's wrestling style,..now, I don't know. Haven't we all seen this stuff before? What about Samoa Joe?, AJ Styles? or Eric Young? I guess eventually they'll end up with Vince. I hope so.

Hulk Hogan's Brain Fart,...

First off, everyone knows that I am not a mark for TNA 'wrestling' so it pains me to report this and actually give them some sort of publicity. TNA is nothing more than an organized 'spot' fest with a few real wrestlers just waiting for their chance to go to New York. Here it is,..this past week TNA signed Hulk Hogan. Whewww, I said it and instinctively felt the need for a bowel movement. Hogan's knees are shot, his back out of back and he's suffering from personal problems equating his life to a future D- list celebrity kind of like Todd Bridges or Donnie Osmond. Well TNA, you reap what you sow, so I hope Hogan bankrupts your pseudo-wrestling crap. Imagine an 'X' division match where Hogan faces AJ Styles and forces him to do a clean job. (This won't happen as he'll probably try to main event with Kamala or Brutus Beefcake.) We can finally rename TNA,...WCW!

Shane O'Mac gives notice...

In a surprising move last week, Shane McMahon gave his notice to WWE that he will leave the company in January 2010. Sources are speculating that it is not because of a fallout with his father, but more because his mother's bid to run for the US Republican Senate seat. Shane has never shyed away from being an active competitor and when the situation called for it, would risk his own body to entertain the fans. His last major storyline was when he 'bought' WCW from under his father thus culminating in a match at Wrestlemania Seventeen.

Captain Lou Albano,...Farewell.

A short post, today Captain Lou Albano passed away at the age of 76. Forever, he will be remembered as one of the key characters along with Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper and Cyndi Lauper who ushered in the Rock'n wrestling connection way back in 1985. Wrestling was only then becoming mainstream, with the advent of Wrestlemania being Vince McMahon's big gamble. Aside from that, Captain Lou helped manage the Headshrinkers, George the animal Steele and the British Bulldogs.

Rest in Peace

THE T.O.W.

Last Friday, I had the priviledge of attending the T.O.W. event hosted and promoted by Marc Blondin. T.O.W. stands for Top of the World Wrestling, so the question remains, did it live up to its name? The answer is,.....no. Nevertheless, a great time was head especially the tribute for Pat Patterson acknowledging his contribution to 'Sports Entertainment.' The main event saw La Resistance(former WWE Tag Champs) vs Pierre Carl Ouellet and a mystery partner,....AL SNOW!!!(Yessss...!) The other main event saw Jay Phenomenon, a talent from NCW take on the one and only Honky Tonk Man. (A six minute classic, whereby Honky didn't bump on his back...).

Sarcasm aside, it was a lot of fun. Matt Morgan is huge, and future WWE developmental talent Darkko really impressed me,.especially his character whereby he's a type of coroner. (Imagine a Wrestlemania where he squares off against the Undertaker!!!,..Oh wait, then he'll lose and be relegated to opening matches before suffering the same Giant Gonzales like fate...lol!!!) All in all, a lot of fun.

Can Pro Wrestling be Redeemed...

The question most often asked by self righteous pundits trying to pin the latest steroid scandal on the wrestling industry. Back a few years ago, New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick launched an unrelenting unapologetic attack against the wrestling industry and its loyal followers. Needless to say individual responsibility is never an issue as because the liberal left wing agenda is simple,..eliminate freedom of speech in the name of tolerance and poltical correctness.

In 2007, a tragedy occured, Chris Benoit murdered his wife and child before killing himself. The aftermath produced a hailstorm of controversy as lefties came out of the wood work to show that steroids were the cause. Along comes Chris Nowinski, himself a former pro wrestler (and Harvard graduate BTW)with a more conclusive rational. Benoit had the brain of an eighty-something alzeimers patient, the result of taking too many bumps to the head as well as undiagnosed concussions. If people took more responsibility for themselves instead of scapegoating a problem, the wrestling industry would not be under the microscope as much. Then again,..that's blog of a different sort.

TOW wrestling will be presenting a show this coming Sept 25 in Montreal. Scheduled to appear are La Resistance, PCO, Honky Tonk Man , and a special tribute to Pat Patterson.

All for now.

Breaking Point...very lackluster...

I find it truly sad when one has to wait in order to find the best words that describe a mediocre PPV. Well,.that being said, I'll go with lackluster. This PPV was a throwback to the 'throwaway fillers' there called 'In your House.' You remember, they filled the gaps between the major events and apart from the 'Hell in the Cell' debut (Oct 1997) nothing substantial ever happened. Let's do a little bit of a breadown shall we?.,..

First off, Jericho and Big Show vs MVP and Mark Henry. Chris Jericho has to be one of the best talents in wrestling. He is the consistant 'go to' guy when the roster becomes plagued with injuries. Big Show is looking more like a Big 'Slob' if anything and his singlet does not really sell his atheleticism for me. MVP is definetely a break out star, while Mark Henry still having a job suspends my active intellect. Final result, a good match, with Show and Jericho retaining.

Next up,.Kofi Kingston vs The Miz. Very good match between two undercard guys. Please turn Kofi heel,..(I believe it would be great!) Some mic work from Miz in french,.Kofi retains, smiling his way back to the dressing room.

DX vs Legacy. What's to say? Great fight which probably didn't come off well for the live crowd. Great mic work from Triple H, despite some 'You screwed Bret!' chants directed at Michaels which 'H' acknowledged and played to the crowd with absolving himself from any wrong doing. In the end Michaels taps with class giving a rub to Legacy setting up next month's Hell in the Cell.

John Cena vs Randy Orton. This begs the question,..Why in the blue hell did Cena win? Orton's character is amazing, his psycho/disturbed persona really is starting to come together. An emotional match, with lots of psychology saw Cena win,..(Why?) How many shirts does Cena sell?

CM Punk vs Undertaker. The crappiest way to end the PPV with a wink to the Montreal Scewjob of 1997. A false finnish led to a restart where the ref rang the bell on undertaker while he was fighting off the 'Anaconda vice..' Words cannot describe how lame this was,..as I suddenly felt the need to go to the bathroom and take a massive third degree dump!....nuff said!

Anything else isn't even worth mentioning,..
