This is not wrestling related, but being that it’s Jimmy V week on ESPN, I thought I’d post the late basketball coach’s famous final speech. It ranks as one of the most touching and inspirational things I’ve ever seen, and it always leaves me feeling hopeful. I thought it would be nice to share that [...]
Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson ROH World Title Match will headline this Saturday’s ROH Sixth Anniversary event in Manhattan. If you’re not there, you’re either dead or you got no love for the sport. This is gonna be awesome. I was lucky enough to be one of 425 people at the very first ROH show [...]
This is for Bobby D. (MetalBob), Steve Kriske, and Brian Streleckis. They had a good week of ROH thoughts and coverage that gave fans something to get excited about. Thanks for the hard work this week.
Lance Storm and Dave Meltzer appeared on ESPN’s investigative hard journalism program, Outside The Lines. Excellent segment, better then almost all that have been on cable TV. I wish the show would do more w/ this story.
Saw this today. This clip pretty much is a summary offense of everything on camera and off I find negative about mainstream national wrestling on TV today.
I never liked Mark Mero, the wrestler. But Mero, the man, is on my short list with Konnan, for guys who every wrestler owes a thank you. Blackmen, well, he would be best served teaching high school gym class.
The old man still spins and entertains, though FOX is wacked out no matter what show they broadcast. If you get ANY news from them, please leave this site NOW! Like Gambling, they are for entertainment purposes only.
Gret Van Susteran may be the only cable TV host that has done this story justice. Ted DiBiase was backstage at WWE RAW when the news was told to wrestlers of the Benoit Family death. This is what he said about that and the situation on Greta’s show:
Konnan was a guest on Nancy Grace last night (the guest host is only slightly less stupid then Nancy herself) and was a credit to every wrestler who has ever taken a bump. Sure he was more honest because of his options, but he spoke the truth, and was even more honest then Chris Jericho. [...]
While this Grace woman is clearly half retarded (My professional opinion, as unlike her I like to clarify things), Jericho does his best to walk her through the interview and make good points. If that’s not enough, Nancy finally learns what Four Horsemen and RAW are, and what demotion Benoit may or may not have [...]
Other then Jericho’s party line, and this is true of all wrestlers who privately will say they are the whores to promoters Pimps, which is to say he put over WWE’s drug testing and didn’t explain it’s multiple loopholes, Jericho was by far the best rep for wrestling all week (including Vince and Linda McMahon).
Lets try to remember why we love wrestling.
Remember when guys could cut promos? Remember managers? Remember how great Heyman was in his prime? Yep, me too. Those who forgot, just watch
