Report: Jack Lalanne laid to rest, Schwarzenegger eulogizes the fitness pioneer…

Leave a comment

Jack Lalanne, the Godfather of Fitness, was laid to rest today. Arnold Schwarzenegger was there to attend the funeral service, of course, Arnie’s wife, Maria Shriver was there too. Another fitness icon attended the funeral, and that is Richard Simmons.

Read what they have to say about, Jack, here.

Yep, Jack started it all. He really did. If it wasn’t for him, there would be no YMCA, Planet Fitness or Gold’s Gym. All these fitness guys Jack Lalanne, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, etc. They’ve inspired me to never give up my dream. I’m never giving up on this fitness thing, guys. I’ll be doing this for life too, like Jack.

You just don’t know how badly I want the fit and muscular body. Yeah, I want it very badly. If you want something badly, stay committed to it and you can achieve your dream. Don’t listen to anybody that gets in your way, and keep going. This is about you. Not about other people. If other people laugh at you and treat your bodybuilding dreams in a negative direction, to hell with them. Again, it’s about you.

Anybody can get into fitness. Either lose weight or get ripped. It doesn’t matter what age, what you look like, who you are, etc. This is for everybody. I’m not trying to be a fitness guru, I kind of want to help other local people get fit. So I try my best to give other people advice and things like that. I’m actually thinking about becoming a personal trainer in the future. Not at this point ’cause I need more experience and more knowledge, but becoming a personal trainer is something I would like to do when I get older. I could make good money doing that, training other people locally.

Report: Stephen King’s “The Stand” big screen version on the way…

Leave a comment

Warner Bros. and CBS, have teamed up to bring Stephen King’s, “The Stand” to the big screen. “The Stand” was first brought to us in 1994 with a mini series that starred Gary Sinise, as Stu Redman, the leading character. The studios will sit down with directors and writers, to find the right take for the big screen version. Mosaic and Roy Lee are producing. Stephen King, the man himself, will be involved in some way, nobody knows yet.

“The Stand” is an apocalyptic story that tells of a plague virus which killed most Americans, leaving only some survivors. The survivors try their best to survive while they fight off the evil antagonist, Randall Flagg. Randall Flagg, was responsible for sending out that plague.

The Hollywood reporter, reports.

Honestly, I always thought, “The Stand” needed a big screen movie instead of small screen. Glad they finally considered it! The TV mini series sucked because they left so much out of the book. I think “The Stand” theater version should be a three part trilogy, and each film being three hours long, so they can fit everything in.

I don’t want Frank Darabont directing this. “The Green Mile” was a great movie, but “The Mist” sucked so bad. Darabont would ruin this one too. I’d say give this one to a talented director, like Christopher Nolan, Darren Aronofsky or Ridley Scott. “The Stand” big screen version should also be R rated, not leaving out the swearing, the violence, and gore.

Who should play Stu Redman? Should Gary get it again? Nah. I’d say give it to Christian Bale or Ethan Hawke.

Report: “The Kennedy’s” finally finds a new home at ReelzChannel…

2 Comments

After being rejected from the History Channel first, “The Kennedy’s” miniseries movie tried to get bought by other studios but no one would. A network finally bought the film. ReelzChannel will air “The Kennedy’s” on April 3rd.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

Glad the film found a new home! TV networks. They’re all so greedy and evil. I don’t understand why TV networks wouldn’t air this when it’s just a movie. I’ll have to see it myself to see why it’s so controversial, but I’m going to have to DVR it, because “Wrestlemania 27” is on that night.

Report: Chris Jericho wants back in WWE right away!!!

1 Comment

Chris Jericho did an interview with Fanhouse, and he admitted he wants to return to WWE, as soon as possible. Jericho took another break from WWE, to concentrate on his tour with his metal band, Fozzy. Ever since he left, fans have suffered while he was gone and they’ve been begging him to return to WWE. Even WWE wants him back, badly. He says, Jericho and WWE are currently negotiating a deal.

Will Jericho make it in time for Wrestlemania? I don’t know. It might be too late to start up a storyline for him and I’m sure WWE already booked the Wrestlemania card behind the scenes. They could add a match for Jericho though.

I remember last year, Jericho had that feud with Mickey Rourke, the actor. I think making Jericho the RAW anonymous GM would be a perfect return storyline for him, but who knows. I miss Jericho too as he is one of my favorite performers also.

Yeah, I know, I talk a lot of wrestling in this site lately. Why? Because Wrestlemania is around the corner, so deal with it!

Thought: Why WWE pushed Alberto Del Rio to main event status so quickly?? Please read here to find out why…

Leave a comment

I’ve been reading some wrestling message forums and blogs, and many wrestling fans are questioning why did WWE give a new guy the Wrestlemania main event status so quickly? Yes. I agree it’s a little weird. Alberto Del Rio have only been around for a few months. His performing have been creating a buzz around the wrestling world.

If you want to know why WWE did this, here is why.

WWE wants to give Mexican wrestlers more recognition. They are about to sign more Mexican wrestlers in the near future. As I believe they want to do Mexican tours, perform shows in Mexico. WWE do world wide tours yearly, and they will do four shows in, Mexico, in the Month of May. Check it out, here.

Since Wrestlemania 27, is on April 3rd, a month before the Mexican tour, I’m pretty sure, Alberto Del Rio will be made World Heavyweight Champion at Wrestlemania. WWE wants to make Alberto World Heavyweight Champion for the Mexican fans, when they go on the foreign tour. WWE wants the Mexican fans to feel happy that their home country hero is a champion. Get the drill? It’s easy to understand. Mexican wrestling fans deserve this. Alberto maybe a hated wrestler in the USA since he is a heel, but I’m sure he’s LOVED by all Mexican fans in Mexico. He’s a hero to Mexicans.

I think Alberto is a great performer. I think Eddie Guerrero was the best Mexican performer, no one could top him, but Alberto is my second favorite. Chavo Guerrero and Rey Mysterio are Mexicans as well. Why couldn’t they give it to Chavo or Rey Mysterio instead??? It’s because Alberto is more recognizable and has more star power. Alberto got popular quick because of his good looks and his excellent mic skills. He’s also very entertaining.

I hope you understand why WWE did this. I think it’s a good idea too as Mexican fans deserve a Mexican champion!

Thought: Why Sting is needed for WWE…

Leave a comment

So Sting is on his way to WWE, finally. After many years of having never work for Vince McMahon. Why did Sting never came to WWE in the past? Does he have hatred toward Vince McMahon? No, not not at all. They have no personal hatred toward each other. Vince and Sting have always been on good terms. Sting always said good things about Vince over the years. Sting has worked for WCW and TNA wrestling for most of his wrestling career. Never for WWE at all.

If you want to know why Sting never joined WWE, watch the video below where he explains it himself. He was afraid of being buried by the bigger superstars in WWE like what happened to Booker T, plus Sting didn’t trust how he was going to be used. WWE have been wanting Sting for “YEARS”, and they finally talked him into signing somehow.

Why would Sting be good for WWE? Sting is an icon and legendary wrestler. WWE could use this exposure and Sting could help market the company well. Sting would indeed be a huge merchandise seller. Plus, it’ll be cool to see Sting feud with the WWE’s top stars like Triple H, Big Show, Randy Orton, Cena, etc. Sting would also be good for the children who are fans of WWE. Sting was very popular with children back in the WCW days. Plus, with Stone Cold, The Rock and Hulk Hogan being gone, WWE needs another star power wrestler and that’s another reason Sting is needed.

Sting may not be in WWE on a full time role though, it could be just for Wrestlemania and the Hall of Fame. Who knows, maybe Sting will stick around WWE for a long time if all goes well.

BREAKING NEWS: Sting is on his way to WWE!!! WOW!!!

Leave a comment

WWE is trying to get us to play these guessing games again. WWE aired this video tonight on RAW. The video is a teaser of a wrestler coming to WWE. It’s none other than Sting, obviously. How do I know?  If you read the comments in WWE’s facebook page, most people are guessing a variety of wrestlers. From the Undertaker, to Awesome Kong, to Jeff Hardy, to Batista, etc. LOL. That’s because they are new WWE fans. They don’t know WCW history too well. Those that are naming, Sting, got it right.

Why would it be Sting? I mean, watch the video. The rain and thunder. If you look at the video closely, you can see the scorpion somewhere. Plus, the long black leather coat. The music is very similar to Sting’s older entrance’s from WCW.

Those people who think it’s the Undertaker is really delusional. It’s not ‘Taker ’cause ‘Taker have always been a Smackdown guy. Sting and Undertaker shouldn’t be on the same show anyway.

Who would Sting feud with when he arrives in WWE on the 21st of this month? I would think Sting would go after who has the WWE title.

How I do my fitness nutrition…

2 Comments

Some may wonder how I handle my fitness nutrition. What do I eat? For my meals? Honestly, while I have became a big time nutritional nazi, I keep my nutritional plan very simple and basic. I don’t do all these fancy fitness recipes that the pro bodybuilders do. That’s not me.

For breakfast I have egg whites, maybe 3 or four egg whites a day and two slices of whole wheat toast. With your meals it shouldn’t just be protein only in my opinion. Gotta have your carbs and fibers too. When I get bored of having egg whites, I’ll have whole wheat quaker oats, which is the healthy kind of oatmeal. I also have a hot cup of green tea along with my morning meal ’cause green tea is a perfect fat burner. Soon, I’m looking to make my breakfast nutrition a little different. You need to vary your meals, not having the same foods all the time. I will look into getting into whole wheat bagels ’cause they have lot of protein/carbs/fiber. Ham is also good for you.

For lunch, I would have a tuna or salmon sandwich with light mayo. Small thing of 1% low fat  cottage cheese and fruit. When I want a hot & cooked lunch, I’ll make chicken breast with a vegetable or fish. I’ll even go for natural foods like Quonia & Salsa into one.

For Dinner, I eat a variety of meats: steak, pork, chicken, fish, etc. Some people are not meat eaters but when you’re into fitness, I think meat is very important. You can’t ignore meat, in my opinion.

For a snack, I would have Chobani Greek Yogurt Low Fat Plain, or %1 Lowfat Cottage Cheese, I would also either have almonds or whole wheat toast. Fruit is a must have too for a before bedtime snack. I would prefer bananas or grapefruits ’cause those two are the best fat burners.

On the weekends, I eat whatever I want. I cheat on the weekends. Like everyone else, I just want to have fun eating junk food once in a while myself. Weekends for cheats meals, I’ll have pizza, Chinese Food, and eat out at Restaurants. When Monday comes, that’s enough cheat meals and then I’m eating healthy again. I cheat on the weekends to help add the pounds and put a little calories on me, then I’ll get it off next week.

This is exactly how I am able to get a ripped body successfully, just by eating good. Eat good and then you’ll make your dreams come true.

Royal Rumble review…

Leave a comment

So I watched the “Royal Rumble” last night. Although the ppv was too predictable like always, it was still fun to see. So Alberto Del Rio, a new and young Mexican wrestler ended up getting the win after all! Even if I said, HBK Shawn Michaels was going to win in that predictions video I did, I kind of called it on Alberto Del Rio first before I changed my mind and named Shawn Michaels instead. Check my tweet. I posted that tweet before I made that predictions video. So in a way, I’m right about Alberto anyway. I’m glad WWE gave it to Alberto. He deserves it. At least WWE finally gave the opportunity to someone new & different. It’s getting very boring seeing John Cena or Randy Orton win at the end of almost every ppv, all the time. I like that Alberto guy, he is a great performer and he’s going to be a huge star quick. We have a new upcoming WWE Champion on our hands.

It was a great Rumble last night. The surprising superstar returns we got last night were just Kevin Nash aka Diesel “Big Daddy Cool” and Booker T, came back. I believe both are back full time, not a one off. Kevin Nash aka Diesel was the only legend that showed up. We didn’t get Hacksaw, Jimmy Snuka, Million Dollar Man, etc. None of those guys. Although there were a lot of rumors of Triple H and Christian being there last night, we didn’t get them either. Look like they are trying to make Triple H’s return unpredictable and not expecting. Triple H will be back, only when it’s a good time. Could the reason Triple H didn’t come back yet is because, he might be the Anonymous RAW GM after all? Could be. Never know.

Anyway, I was kind of hoping the Royal Rumble was going to have the New Nexus and CM Punk be dominate toward the end, so they and John Cena can be the last in the ring, but that didn’t happen. All the Nexus guys got taken out. So who ended up being the last two guys in the ring?

Santino Marrella and Alberto Del Rio were the last two. I know a lot of wrestling fans don’t like that idea, but I love it. Give some of the younger guys a chance for the spotlight. The younger guys deserve to main event more and it’s great that WWE is finally making that happen.

On with the other matches on the card, I liked Edge vs. Dolph Ziggler. I was right on that prediction. I knew Edge was going retain. It was a long match too, fun and exciting. I also liked Randy Orton vs. The Miz, I too was right on that prediction, the Miz retained, of course. As for the Divas match, I was wrong on that prediction. That was the only match I was wrong on. Eve Torres ended up getting the win for the Divas belt. Awesome Kong didn’t make her debut yet at the Rumble. Weird. Everyone was expecting Kong to make her debut but she didn’t show. Like WWE wants to keep her upcoming debut unpredictable too.

It was a pretty good Rumble last night. So it’s gonna be Alberto Del Rio vs. The Miz for Wrestlemania? That’s what it’s looking like. Good job WWE. WWE is getting better.

Thought: Awesome Kong puts up questionable photo on her twitter…

Leave a comment

Well I just got done watching the Royal Rumble ppv. Awesome Kong didn’t make her debut yet. However, she put up a questionable photo as her default profile pic on twitter. She’s all sexy looking and wearing pink.

Check it out, here.

Is that what she’s going to look like when she arrives in WWE? She’s coming in as a babyface and not as a heel like she was in TNA?

Look at her boobs, though, dayam. She’s actually kind of hot. Hopefully this is just for Valentine’s Day and she’s not going to look like this in WWE.
