Quentin

He managed the Skyscrapers when Taker was involved. Other than that, he must have some compromising photos of Stephanie or something.

If he makes it to December, Teddy Long will have been employed by WWE for fifteen years. Fifteen. What the holy fuck?

Wow that makes me feel old. What the hell happened to Joey Abs?

Wasn't he working injured for ages before he left? I'd imagine they'll patch him up for Wrestlemania but after that his days must be numbered really

Potential spoilers in this rant...

SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

I have a real soft spot for Snitsky. Very happy to see him doing stuff like this and not shitty indy shows or anything.

I'd buy into that. It would get past the physique issue with him at least. I'm a total gangster mark mind so maybe it's just me.

Great episode.

"You're Daryl Strawberry."

"Yeah."

"You play right field."

"Yeah."

"I play right field too."

"So...?"

Just watched Bill Goldberg in an apron taking orders in a diner and Maria running towards camera carrying a burger. This show has potential.

The series of Celebrity Apprentice USA just started on BBC1 is the one with Goldberg and Maria Kanellis. Also involved are Cyndi Lauper, Michael Johnson, Daryl Strawberry and friggin Sinbad.

Did he not also go on some kind of celebrity fat club show a few years back? Samoan genetics can be rough!

That Rat Boy chap reminds me of a guy calling himself Malkamania who was running around Wrestlereunion this year. I'll never forget the sight of him running up to a frail, terrified looking Lex Luger and screaming in his face some kind of promo.

He also is available for googling - and apparently is on Facebook. Here's my boy Malk with one of his heroes...

Here he is with Batman.

And here he is scaring the shit out of Nash.

This story seems to imply he's a made man from some kind of law suit.

He ran up to me and my mates at one point where we had this conversation.

"YOU GUYS GOING TO VEGAS IN OCTOBER??"

"I don't think so mate, no."

"YOU GOTTA GO! STONE COLD IS GONNA BE THERE!!"

Then he ran off to shout at Dennis Rodman. Him, along with all the fat Mexicans with title belts over their shoulders made me never want to go to one of those again.

Didn't Animal do the side of his leg in during the entrance to Summerslam 1992? Sure I heard that Hawk parked his bike a bit funny, which meant that Animal had to as well. Animal gets off his cycle and rips his leg, and his tights open, on something from Hawk's bike. Way Animal tells it, it was pretty serious.

The version I remember was Hawk parked too close to Animal's bike so he had to get off on the wrong side of the bike. As he got off, his leg was against the engine which was so hot it melted his tights or boots to his leg.

It's called "Santa's Slay" or something like that. Never seen it myself.

Jesus! Pringle looks like a fat Jimmy Saville there.

Just caught up on a couple of weeks of TNA. I massively behind the pushing of Christian York for some reason. Seems like he's really got a fire lit under him to make the best of this opportunity. Also, TNA could do worse than take someone with bags of experience and a bit of TV exposure who's been off the radar for years and give him a shot. Seems like a good hand in the matches he's had so far and the crowd seem behind him. It's at least got me interested in what happens to him.

The Bully Ray/Brooke story is far more interesting than Cena/AJ. Aries stirring the shit is a riot. Aries is brilliant. It's the kind of thing you wouldn't expect Hulk to green-light but then he's so carny that he can take being an overbearing father and turn it into money. Just totally mental that Ray was the man for the job.

More Joey Ryan.

Negatives all over the shop though... Nothing really new.

Everyone's music is the same. Everyone's t-shirts are the same.

They need to start unmasking Aces and Eights at pace. Their no longer exciting and dangerous. They've become part of the furniture far too quickly that unmasking Mike Knox is going to evoke groans. It would take Big Boss Man under a mask to save this story.

They need to wait at least two years before putting AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels in the same ring again. Daniels is finally showing some personality. They really need to do something more interesting with it.

Zema Ion can fuck off.

I dunno if you'd want that Quentin. I mean, they're fucking hard.

I could live with myself getting my head kicked in by Rick and Scott one time. Wouldn't fancy being on with them on the road every night mind. I think I'd rather do the loop with The Roadwarriors. Still, as a one off I'd get stuck into it. Well mainly a mental promo match with Scott where everyone is wearing Ribera jackets followed by a mercifully quick battering before someone like Stixx and Dave Mastiff come out for the real match.

Once I get some serious money (through hard work or more likely a scratch card win), I'm setting up a promotion and it will be completely business exposing. I will be a money mark who just pisses about. First thing I'm going to do is give Robbie Brookside enough money to do whatever I say and I'm going to book him in a pillow fight match with Lenny Lane. Hogan will be the champion of course, but he won't appear infront of the live crowd. Instead me, Hulk, the Nasties, Hacksaw Duggan and Chuck Zito will be eating fruit and being cool in the back of the building. Then I'm going to bring in Solid Gold Scott Parker and have Jasper Carrott manage him. I'd book Paddy McGuinness and have New Jack carve him up during a promo. I'd bring in a load of women for me to wank over and possibly sort me out over a promise of buying them something on their Amazon Wishlist. And of course Gareth Hale and Norman Pace will have a power struggle over the General Manager role in my promotion.

 

It will be on ITV2.

This was the best idea ever until ITV2 got involved. Joe Swash hosting it would be a total disaster.

Anyway, them "Henchmen" lads are clearly the guys for the Steiner booking.

I almost started the same thread yesterday. Mainly these...

but not so much lately as I'm attempting to keep them white a bit longer so I'm switching to these for the winter

138 for me first try. Amazing how my brain goes to shit on these. I manage to get

I cried my eyes out when Nailz delivered that beating. Bossman and LOD were all that mattered when I was 7. I think it was the single most traumatizing thing to happen in my life as a child.

Is Papa Shango on tip toes in that photo possibly thinking his feet would be out of shot and he'd look as big as Taker? that carny bastard!

I really feel an aura from Del Rio that he is a dick. Whether he's a really good heel or just is, I have no idea. Not like The Miz where he plays a good villain but then you see him on talk shows and you know he's playing a part. I can just imagine Del Rio being "on" all the time. This is all meant very positively.

From TMZ.com

 

A mother will do anything to protect her kid -- just ask former "Shark Tank" winner Shelly Ehler ... who's picking a fight with a 6'5", 239-pound WWE star after he made her 8-year-old cry.

 

Ehler -- who scored a $75k investment on "Tank" for her ShoNo towels -- has a serious beef with Alberto Del Rio ... who snatched her son's handmade sign during a WWE event in Anaheim, CA this weekend ... and RIPPED IT UP (or at least tried to).

 

In the video (above) Del Rio isn't quite strong enough to rip the sign in half (it is cardboard) ... so he takes off small, pathetic, chunks instead.

 

FYI -- it's standard practice for the wrestlers to interact with audience members "in character." In this case, the sign was pro-Sheamus ... the wrestling arch-nemesis of Del Rio.

 

But TMZ spoke to Shelly, who says her 8-year-old was terrified by the wrestler's actions and instantly burst into tears. She adds, "Del Rio is a bully. I looked at him and said 'he's crying' ... and he mocked him."

 

Shelly -- who says her 8-year-old cried all the all way home -- vented her frustrations to the wrestler on Twitter and then fired off a an angry letter to the WWE.

 

In the letter she says, "Take signs from adults NOT KIDS! My son was bullied by your superstars and it is not okay."

 

Despite her demands, Shelly claims she's heard crickets from Del Rio -- but his manager tweeted her back and said, "lol blah blah blah."

 

FYI -- as soon as Shelly contacted Sheamus about the incident ... he immediately offered to send her son a signed photo and meet with him next time he's in town.

The bits in bold had genuine LOLs from me. I really hope WWE don't force him to apologise or anything. He got a photo and a meeting with Sheamus and that kid will hate ADR forever. That's a pretty standard but of business. Del Rio is such an amazing bastard.

So maybe I'm half a decade behind the rest of the world. Been watching The Sopranos for the first time at Sky Atlantic pace for the last year or so. Just watched the penultimate episode. Actually got a chill from watching that. I'll be a total nervous wreck watching the last one next week. The start of Boardwalk Empire season 3 is the only consolation I have for this. What a brilliant piece of television The Sopranos has been though.

On a similar note, I've somehow only just discovered Peep Show and am currently working my way through my pal's DVD. Amazing stuff.

I just found out that Todd Grisham left WWE over a year ago.
