Hey everyone!

So I was talking somewhere else about old wrestling rumours, especially surrounding "The Higher Power". I recall Jake Roberts, Hulk Hogan, Mankind, all kind of ideas to who ...

What the fake journalists in pro wrestling need to understand is that, "But he's Ric Flair!" holds up in a podcast debate but it doesn't in a court of law.

Fuck, it doesn't even hold up i ...

I wish Dave knew what Vince's hangup with Macho was, so the *he banged an underage Steph* rumor would go away. I saw that Vince wrote a piece on Macho for Time Magazine. He never ceases to amaze me.

There's two points to Ryder being kept off of TV I've read:

1. They had him memorize a promo and planned to have him in a segment and instead told him they weren't doing it. This was explained as ...

Anyone wanna try a Gordy List on him?

Im finding it very hard to believe that Trips is responsible for Mistico signing. His signing was long-rumored and I think it was more spurred by JR and Johnny Ace.

You got the idea of Taker looking fearful? Did you hear him? He asked Brock if he wanted to g ...

Saw SOCIAL NETWORK last night. John walk across the street and see this. Writer Aaron Sorkin did a great job and the director David Fincher lives up to his reputation. Jesse Eisenberg deserves the Osc ...

I went to an independent show in Vaughn, Ontario the other night and in the opener was a monkey versus a robot luchador controlled by an evil scientist.

Most fun I've had at a wrestling show in yea ...

The Impact spoilers for Thursday are Russotastic! We have Hogan blaming Dixie Carter for the heel turn saying she lied and sold him a bill of goods, back to playing his Hollywood character, renaming ...

The qustion is why would TNA bother punishing him publically? Just don't book him and let his contract expire in a month or two. Big cost savings and he adds nothing to the product.

The bad news though is that he was eliminated during the match. Now since this was his big return, they could've had him be one of the Sole Survivors of this match. But I guess they need Cena to defy ...
