Thoughts on Jeanine Pirro getting kicked off “The View” to promote her book… nothing to see there… just more Trump Derangement Syndrome…

Leave a comment

 

Some of you readers may be wondering what my opinion on this is. Ya know, Whoopi Goldberg kicking off a FOX News host Jeanine Pirro off “The View” to promote her new book and to talk about it. Jeanine was asked by the View to appear on the show and Jeanine gladly obliged to get interviewed by them. At the start of the interview, they started to talk about Jeanine’s book at first but of course, they had to get into a huge debate about Donald Trump. Jeanine got a little pissed as you can see ’cause she went on the show to talk about her book, not talk about Donald Trump but the ladies on the View kept talking to Jeanine about Trump anyways.

They get into an argument about illegals and immigration and all that accusing Trump of hate like a typical liberal would. Jeanine tries to explain to them that the economy is in good shape but of course, the ladies on the View just ignores her and tries to change the subject. As you can see in the video, Whoopi goes to on to say that she doesn’t have “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and tries to defend herself then she goes off about Trump’s presidency.

Then Whoopi abruptly ends the interview real fast. After that, Jeanine goes on Sean Hannity to talk about what happened after the interview. Jeanine was walking through the hallway downstairs to leave the building but she ends up seeing Whoopi again. Jeanine tries to talk to her again and then suddenly Whoopi tells her to “Fuck you, get the fuck out of the building”.

So let me get this straight… Whoopi claims she doesn’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome and she kicks out a woman who is a Trump supporter? Seriously? In my opinion, Jeanine shouldn’t have gone on the show and she should have declined the invitation. She should have seen this coming. Liberals hate Trump supporters so much and they are willing to do anything to humiliate them. I think this incident was all set-up and planned by the View. They intentionally wanted to humiliate Jeanine on National TV which they did a good job of. They knew exactly what they wanted to do to her ’cause they wanted to entertain the anti-Trump crowd.

Sure, what Whoopi and the View did was stupid and wrong… yes, Whoopi should be fired for it but it would never happen. She’s a liberal that’s why. I’m sure liberals in America are loving Whoopi for this. ABC and the View probably thought to themselves, “Hmmmm, what could we do to bring the ratings up? Lets invite a conservative author so we can bully her on live TV!!!” That’s what it was all about.

The thing is, liberals are trying their best to normalize hatred toward Trump supporters and conservatives which they are doing a very good job at. They harass and bully Trump supporters, they probably won’t get any punishment for it.

Jeanine was trying to be nice and friendly to the women on the View but all they wanted to do was yell at her. That’s liberalism today, folks. Liberals yelling at Trump supporters and conservatives for differences of opinion. Sickening.

Anyhow, Jeanine shouldn’t feel bad about this ’cause the View’s hate toward her is great publicity for the book anyways and I’m sure Jeanine’s book sales would skyrocket after this, watch it. The book will easily become a best seller pretty quickly. I’m definitely going to buy it ’cause I love Jeanine. Always did. I’m planning to pick up a copy of her new book soon. I like to watch her show on FOX News on Saturdays sometimes.

The Smashing Pumpkins covers “Stairway to Heaven” live on stage… pretty good but Billy’s voice doesn’t fit the song…

Leave a comment

Well the Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour begins and this live performance was taken from their first show on the tour. As you can see here, The Pumpkins tries to cover “Stairway to Heaven” which is Led Zep’s most iconic song.

I thought the band played the song pretty well but like the title of this blog topic says, Billy’s voice doesn’t fit which is understandable. “Stairway” is a very difficult song to sing vocally. I noticed the band transposed the song to a lower key so it can fit Billy’s voice ’cause I know Billy has a pretty low range singing voice. At the “As we wind on down the road” part, Robert sings really high in that part but Billy sang it his way.

Are the costumes, gimmicks and the video screen in the background really necessary? I understand that Billy is trying to make the Smashing Pumpkins shows more theatrical like but that is not needed. How about focusing on the music?

Other than that, the band played the music well like I said. I thought the best part was Jeff Schroeder nailing the solo. That Schroeder dude is a great lead guitarist for sure.

What I plan to do to get full six pack abs…

Leave a comment

A lot of people believe that getting six pack abs when doing fitness is impossible but actually… it CAN be possible. I got visible abs right now which feels amazing really. I’m not quite there at getting a full six pack but I’m pretty close to it. Last time I measured my body fat percentage a long time ago, it was about 16%. I got to be a little lower than that now ’cause my abs are showing really good now. I do plan on making my body fat a lot lower, though. I’m dying to see what my body fat percentage is at now and I would like to try and find out soon.

Getting six pack abs isn’t hard. Like they all say, “abs are made in the kitchen” which that is 100% truth. You have to eat correctly in order to lose body fat. When you want to burn fat gotta eat in the kitchen. Gotta eat plenty of high protein and low carb meals. Also, avoid high sugary foods, avoid bad fats, simple carbs, processed foods, most dairy products and also avoid high fructose corn syrup like the plague (which I have been doing). Do all that and you’ll be good.

A lot lately I’ve been avoiding most dairy products except for Greek Yogurt and Cottage Cheese ’cause they are a good source of protein.

You also gotta eat carbs and “good” fats. The carbs you gotta eat are complex carbs which are the healthy carbs you want to go for like fruits, vegetables, oatmeal, whole grains and things like that. I eat as much of that as possible. I also eat as much “good fats” as much as possible too. You can get good fats from stuff like nuts and avocado.

Eating healthy is easy and it’s also easy to find healthy food that is cheap in the grocery store. You don’t need to buy expensive organic food all the time. My nutrition is getting more strict nowadays. Lately, I’ve just been avoiding potato chips, cakes and cookies and things like that. I’ve also given up ice cream completely. From now on, my snacking habits will be all healthy stuff.

I’m not going to avoid junk food completely, though ’cause eating junk food once in a while will help which is something called a “cheat” meal. That’s okay to do on the weekends. Instead of Ice Cream, I’m going to eat Cliff Bars for a snack on the weekends which I have been doing lately. It’s okay to eat some junk food still just in moderation , ya know?

This is what I must do if I want to become really lean. Possibly get below 10% body fat which is my goal is that I need to make my nutrition a lot more strict.

Also to get lower body fat, you gotta do plenty of cardio and do some weight training which I have been doing a lot as well.

I’m doing all I can to get that ripped and buffed look. Become the best of shape of my life. I love what I have now but still got a lot of work to do though. This is only the beginning. It might take me a while longer to get a full six pack but if I keep exercising and keep eating healthy, I’ll get there in no time.

I’m never gonna compete in a bodybuilding competition or whatever ’cause I always found that silly, just my opinion. I just want to look great and that is all.

Why the wrestling community is so dumb and messed up… more on Hulk Hogan being on good terms with WWE again…

Leave a comment

It is interesting how the wrestling community treats Hulk Hogan. Yeah, there are a lot of Hogan haters in the wrestling community. Why? Many Hogan haters see him as this conceited and arrogant jerk. In other words, many see him as an egomaniac. They also believe he’s a toxic person in the wrestling industry and in real life. Many people believe that Hulk Hogan buried other wrestlers in the industry and destroyed them… that is probably why he has so many other wrestlers that hate Hulk too like Bret Hart, Iron Sheik, Honky Tonk Man and wrestlers such as those. You see, Hogan had haters long before the Gawker controversy started.

There are many other reasons why a lot of people can’t stand Hulk. They can’t stand him as an in-ring performer too. He gets criticized for his wrestling skills and mic work all the time. A lot of people think he knows only a few wrestling moves and many thinks he’s too old to be wrestling. There are too many reasons why a lot of people can’t stand Hulk, I can go on all day about this.

Look, I used to hate Hulk Hogan like everyone else but I don’t anymore. Why? Not only that I think he’s innocent from all this sex tape stuff going on, I’m beginning to realize that Hulk Hogan is not a bad man that the haters are trying to make him out to be. He really is not a bad guy at all. He seems like a nice man from what I’m seeing. Hulk is good with the fans and he’s good with other wrestlers too. Hulk never tried to buy other talent like the haters claimed. He always did his best to help put others over. I mean, if it wasn’t for Hulk Hogan we wouldn’t have gotten all these other iconic wrestlers over the years: The Ultimate Warrior, Rowdy Piper, Andre, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, etc. Without Hulk Hogan, we wouldn’t have gotten those guys I listed.

Whether you like him or not, Hulk Hogan is definitely one of the best in the business ’cause he’s the one who put the wrestling business on the map in the first place. He had many classic matches over the years and the haters will never admit that.

Ever since the announcement came out that Hulk was going to be reinstated back in the WWE Hall of Fame after this sex tape stuff, all the haters say the WWE shouldn’t be doing that ’cause there are many who believes that Hulk Hogan is a racist. Well gee… keep in mind that these wrestling fans were the same people who love Chris Benoit. Ya know, the man who murdered his own family and killed himself after, yet a lot of wrestling fans continue to love Benoit. Wrestling fans continued to support a murderer and yet they all continue to treat Hulk Hogan badly.

WWE female wrestlers like Paige got sex videos and nude pics leaked to the internet but she got no negative backlash for that. Instead, people defended her. Those pervy male wrestling fans loved the Paige sex videos and nude pics and they wanted more.

Yet Hulk Hogan is treated badly over a sex tape. Really?

I don’t like the wrestling community at all even if I’m a wrestling nerd ’cause wrestling fans on the internet are nothing but douchebags. That’s why I try to stay away from the wrestling forums online, ya know? The “smart” fans in the wrestling forums are horrible. They’re always opinionated and negative.

Hulk is not a bad man at all and I think this is a guy who deserves more respect knowing what he did to the wrestling industry over the years. It’s sad that the haters can’t admit that. I really do think the haters are so-hell bent on destroying the guy and obsessed with him ’cause they are jealous of his wrestling legacy. Nothing more. Nothing less. They want the life that he has and they know they can’t get it.

Don’t get me wrong, though. What Hulk said on the racist tape was wrong and offensive, no doubt but all of us make mistakes and we all say dumb things. We just got to learn from the mistakes and move on from them. That’s what Hulk is trying to do.

I feel Hogan, though ’cause knowing my own experience, I know what it’s like to go through bad publicity and go through a negative backlash. I’ve been there myself. It’s hard being a public figure, I know it. I guess one of the reasons I’m back to supporting Hogan again is ’cause I feel sorry for the guy, I really do. Hulk changed wrestling for everybody whether he was a good guy wrestler or a bad guy wrestler. He’s one of the best performers of all time. He changed lives for a lot of people out there including mine. I guess you have to watch what you say or do no matter what ’cause the internet is a dangerous place. I’ve been destroyed over stupid shit online myself. I just learned to move on from it and keep moving forward.

Hulk is a good guy. Don’t judge the book by it’s cover. I don’t think he deserves all this hatred at all. Just a bunch of bitter losers jealous of him ’cause he’s a wrestling icon. End of story.

Watched “Extreme Rules” ppv last night… no Hulk Hogan return yet but I’m sure he’ll be back soon…

Leave a comment

So I watched “Extreme Rules” WWE ppv last night on the WWE Network. The ppv was pretty bad. The only good match last night was Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens in a Cage Match but other than that, the rest of the ppv was boring and stale. Can I get my almost 4 hours back?

Anyways, no Hulk Hogan appearance but I read he was backstage at the show just visiting and hanging out. Will Hulk appear on RAW tonight, though? I doubt it ’cause doing a little reading through wrestling news sites, Hogan hasn’t signed a new contract with WWE yet but I’m sure he will pretty soon. It’s looking like Hulk, WWE and Vince are back on good terms which is good. There’s a pretty good chance that Hulk Hogan is definitely coming back to WWE later this year or next year. I hope Hogan shows up sooner, though. I predict he could show up sometime before Summerslam. If not Summerslam then it could be the next Royal Rumble in 2019 where he could make it as a surprise entrant.

I think what the Hulkster is trying to do is that he wants to retire in his wrestling career on a positive note. He doesn’t want to end it in a negative note. He didn’t want to end it over this Gawker and sex tape stuff, ya know? Hulk Hogan deserves to end his career on a positive note ’cause he’s a wrestling legend whether you like him or not. He helped popularized pro wrestling and made it mainstream. Without Hogan, wrestling wouldn’t have been on TV. If it wasn’t for Hulk, there wouldn’t have been no WCW, ECW, TNA Impact and even no WWE. The thing is, there are always jealous and bitter haters trying to destroy Hulk and his wrestling legacy. Hulk is just doing whatever it takes to protect his legacy and I can’t blame him. Love him or hate him all you want to, Hulkamania is pretty huge and iconic. His wrestling career in the past was pretty special for him and special for the fans too, of course.

When Hulk returns to the WWE, what he would do on RAW? I can think of 5 things…

  1. Have one more match – this is probably the big one and it’s what everyone is talking about. Hulk did say himself that he has some wrestling left in him and he wants to do one more match but with who, though? My guesses would be either John Cena, Braun Strowman, Brock Lesnar and maybe even Vince McMahon.
  2. Reform the NWO wrestling faction – the NWO were pretty huge in WCW and they made occasional comebacks in WWE. Are they about ready to reform in WWE again pretty soon? I wouldn’t be surprised. They don’t say “NWO 4 Life” for no reason, brotha. They’ll always be around!
  3. Become the next RAW General Manager after Kurt Angle – This could be another big possibility. Hulk being in charge of RAW after Kurt goes.
  4. Be a guest host for the next Wrestlemania – Hulk was guest host for Wrestlemania 30 and it’s definitely possible that he could be guest host on a WM again in the future.
  5. Go after the Universal Title — it doesn’t hurt for Hulk to be world Champ again for one more time. I think that’s a nice way for him to go out on a positive note. If Bill Goldberg won the Universal Champ then why can’t Hulk?

Those are my predictions and any one of them is pretty likely.

Yeah, a lot of people are trashing Hulk but they’re just jealous of him and bitter. Just people desperate for attention so you just ignore the haters and keep supporting Hulk. He deserves the support. I would like to buy a Hulk Hogan t-shirt at some point and I’ll have to buy something off his online store. Hulk still rules! Screw the haters!

The Hogan haters are out in full force on the internet today… Wow!!!!

Leave a comment

I’m reading through some wrestling comments in the wrestling blogs and news sites today and I noticed the Hogan haters are out in full force. Since the news just got out that Hulk has been reinstated in the WWE Hall of Fame and he might make his on-screen return tonight at Extreme Rules, the haters are all mad.

Yes, there is this thing called “forgive and forget” but keep in mind not everybody is gonna “forgive and forget”. Haters are gonna hate, always. I think the only reason that the haters are raging mad now is ’cause they can’t accept the fact that Hogan won the big lawsuit over Gawker. I think they are mad at that just like liberals can’t accept the election results of 2016. Well get over it, Hogan haters. Hulk Hogan proved his innocence over the sex tape at the trial and did a nice job of it too. Like I said before, I used to hate and despise Hulk over the racist remarks myself but after paying attention to the trial and all that stuff… I began to think that maybe Hulk is innocent after all. Gawker just wanted to destroy and ruin Hulk; they failed obviously. Hulk is still standing and standing strong.

Hulk is trying to make amends to those he hurt including the WWE and the superstars. I believe in second chances and Hulk deserves one. I think what Hulk is doing is very courageous and ballsy.

It may seem that Hogan is one of the most hated wrestlers on the planet but the reality is, he isn’t. He’s still one of the most loved and most respected wrestlers today. Hulk Hogan has got a lot of fans still; he’s extremely popular.

Hulk is no racist and the haters needs to get the fuck over it. We all say dumb things and make mistakes every now and then even I do. I used to hate Hulk but I respect the man even more now. Love him or hate him, he’s a very strong guy. He doesn’t let negativity and drama bring him down and he knows how to stay above it.

Hulk Hogan officially reinstated in WWE Hall of Fame… will he make his on TV return at Extreme Rules ppv tonight?

Leave a comment

WWE announced today that Hulk Hogan has officially been reinstated back in the WWE Hall of Fame after all the racist remarks made on the sex tape and all that stuff. I used to hate Hulk Hogan over that sex tape stuff but I don’t anymore. I believe in this thing called, “forgive and forget” and yes, I forgive Hulk Hogan. We all deserve second chances and he deserves one.

Now that Hulk Hogan is officially back in the WWE Hall of Fame, that means that the Hulkster could be coming back to WWE TV as soon as possible. Could he return tonight on “Extreme Rules” ppv?

Hulk posted this on twitter today so does this mean he is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where the ppv is being taken place at?

I’m all for a Hulk Hogan return for WWE. Admittedly, I used to hate the man myself but I don’t anymore. I’m now realizing that he isn’t a bad man like many are trying to make him out to be.

Love him or hate him, Hulk is a wrestling legend. He is the one who helped popularized professional wrestling and if you deny that then I’m going to call you the dumbest person on the planet.

Will we see the Hulkster tonight on “Extreme Rules”? I’m going to watch and see. I’ve been watching a lot of old WCW Monday Nitro and I’ve been liking Hogan more and more. We all watch wrestling ’cause of him whether you want to admit it or not.

I also hope the Hulkster will get made as a playable character for the WWE 2k19 game ’cause I would buy if they put him in there this time ’cause that would be cool.

I’ll admit that I’m now a huge Hulk Hogan fan. Looking forward to “Extreme Rules” tonight. The ppv starts at 7  tonight so it’s gonna be a 4 hour ppv it looks like.

Why WWE RAW ratings have been tanking lately… my take on it…

Leave a comment

I’m a huge fan of WWE and wrestling but I’m not afraid to admit that RAW is getting bad again. It’s not the superstars fault ’cause they are just doing their jobs; getting paid to perform on TV and at live events. They are getting paid to follow the script and doing what the creative team tells them to do. With the tanking ratings, who’s fault do I think it is? Well, I think it’s definitely Vince McMahon’s fault and the creative team, duh.

Check this article out:

https://www.inquisitr.com/4981685/wwe-news-monday-night-raw-draws-lowest-rating-in-history-with-extreme-rules-go-home-show/

I think the reason why a lot of wrestling fans out there are getting turned off by WWE is for a few reasons. I can think of 5:

  1. We’re getting tired of part-timers coming around just to get WWE Championship belt and you don’t see them on TV much. A lot of us believe that there are other superstars worthy of the belt but the WWE doesn’t give it to them. They mostly give the title to part-timers. I kind of agree, it is pretty stupid if you think about it. We’re fed up of Brock Lesnar holding the belt for so long and he’s hardly ever on TV, just occasionally.
  2. Most of us are not watching RAW anymore ’cause we’re fed up with WWE ramming Roman Reigns down our throats. A lot of complaints I’m seeing is that we think Roman doesn’t deserve the huge push he’s getting and many of us think he’s a horrible wrestler and performer. Many of us believe there are other superstars worthy of that push. The main event status.
  3. WWE fans are getting tired of the creative team burying talented wrestlers that they like for example stars like Asuka and Bobby Roode. Both of those stars were real hot in NXT but once they made it on the roster, it seems like WWE is trying to make them look bad all the time. Losing a lot of matches and things like that. Making them look weak. We’re tired of WWE making talented people look weak and that’s what’s been going on a lot.
  4. We’re fed up with the family-friendly bullshit and want the Attitude era back. Ya know, bring back the good wrestling, bring back the blood, bring back hardcore wrestling, bring back chair shots to the head, bring back sexy women, etc. WWE wants to ignore the wrestling part of it and that’s what we’re all getting frustrated on.
  5. Bad booking of matches and bad writing of story lines. Both are getting horrible lately, I’ll have to agree there. The ppvs have been shit lately as well. The story lines have been boring and stale lately except for the Kevin Owens vs. Braun Strowman feud which is actually entertaining but the rest of RAW? *yawn* RAW has been a real sleep fest lately.

Some of you know I’m a huge wrestling nerd. WWE needs to step their game up and give what the fans want if they want people watching again. I think Vince is out of touch with what the fans want.

I don’t blame the performers at all ’cause they’re all talented people (even Roman Reigns, I like the dude), it’s just the creative team is crap.

It’s sad to see how wrestling is today. That’s the thing, ya know? The wrestling industry changes all the time. It always does. I miss the old days of wrestling during the 80’s and 90’s when it used to be a blast to watch. On the WWE Network, I’ve been watching every episode of old-school WCW Monday Nitro back to back and I’m like 83 episodes in right now. Old WCW Nitro was classic stuff. I’m loving it ’cause I’ve never watched WCW before and thanks to the WWE Network, I get to watch it finally. I’m watching old WCW Nitro ’cause I want to learn the history of it as a wrestling nerd. If I want to be a true wrestling nerd, I gotta know WCW.

I love the WWE Network, though. It’s the best streaming service for sure. I got it for the old school wrestling ’cause that’s what I like. I prefer old-school than new wrestling anyways.

Happy birthday, Harrison Ford…

Leave a comment

Happy birthday to another one of my favorite actors, Harrison Ford.

A lot of people like Harrison for Han Solo but to me I was more into Indiana Jones. I love the Indiana Jones movies. I grew up watching them. I love all 4 Indy movies and yes, that includes the 4th one, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. I thought that movie was fantastic as well. I can’t wait for Indy 5.

While Harrison is most famous for Han Solo and Indy, he played many other great roles too like “Patriot Games”, “Clear & Present Danger”, “Witness, “The Fugitive”, “Blade Runner”, “The Mosquito Coast” and the list goes on and on. Harrison is so talented in his acting the man can play just about anything. He still is a very good actor even at 76 years old. 

Ford maybe a very liberal guy politically but I just respect him as an actor. He’s been in so many good movies. The man certainly knows how to choose his movies well.

As far as Indy 5 goes, I know that film has been pushed back ’til 2021 so if you do the math, Harrison will be about 79 years old. Why did Indy 5 get pushed back? Is it because they’re aiming Indy to be like 80 years old? Probably.

Anyway, Harrison is an amazing guy. I’ve always been a huge fan and I’ve grown up watching his movies since I was a child.

Yep, ego lifting at the gym is real… just witnessed it a little bit at the gym this morning… it was funny!

Leave a comment

At the gym this morning doing leg day, I was doing squats on the smith machine and there was this guy doing cable crossovers on the trainer cable machine next to me. Looks to me he was lifting heavy weights on them. There was at one point, he changed the weights to wicked heavy it looks like. The guy got into position to begin his workout and he couldn’t even get the weight up at all. He kept trying and trying and still couldn’t do it. So what does he do? Instead of giving it up and lowering the weight, he steps his foot back to rest it on the metal part on the back of the cable machine for assistance and he was able to do his reps that way. That’s a perfect example of ego-lifting right there. Other men in the gym not being able to lift a weight but they continue to go for it anyways.

I would have filmed that at the gym and post it all to see but I was too busy doing squats on the smith machine. It was funny to see, though.

While most gym members are good people, you will see some meatheads and egos in the gym for sure. There will be meatheads and egos in all gyms you go to. Doesn’t matter how small of a town you’re in. Some meatheads are gonna wanna be showoffs to everybody and be all big shot that they can lift heavier than everyone else.

Go ahead and lift weights you can’t lift. If you dislocate your shoulder, your weight lifting days could be over for good. It is interesting how guys in the gym think accidents won’t happen when they lift too heavy.
