Thought: I think the RAW anonymous GM is the Ultimate Warrior, here’s why…

Leave a comment

Brock here, thinks the RAW anonymous GM is no one other than the Ultimate Warrior. I’m 100% sure it is. I think this is my final pick and my final prediction. I used to think it was going to be the Rock, but no, it’s not gonna be the Rock. The Rock is too busy filming movies.

Why the Ultimate Warrior? Well pay attention to the storyline. All the clues and hints are pointing directly at the Ultimate Warrior. When Vince McMahon first announced there is a RAW anonymous GM, Vince said, he would have “Ultimate control”. In other clues, the anonymous RAW GM said he doesn’t care for The Undertaker and Bret Hart. Remember, the Warrior is no fan of them in real life. Also, notice how the Anonymous GM seems to be busting on Sheamus a lot? Ever wonder why? Maybe it’s because Sheamus has the nick name, “The Celtic Warrior”. Those are some hints. The Anonymous GM seems to be getting on Chris Jericho for the past couple of weeks. Why is this? It’s because the Warrior and Chris Jericho never feuded before in the history of wrestling. Chris Jericho likes to pick on the legends of wrestling and if Warrior was brought in, imagine Chris not liking it.

What about another clue? Well, if you watch RAW in the beginning of the intro theme, they keep showing classic footage of the Warrior in the open title sequence of RAW. Is that a hint that he’s about to make a huge return?

Keep in mind that the Ultimate Warrior and Vince McMahon had a long history, yes, they never got along too well in the past. There is a reason that the Warrior was being kept anonymous because of his history with Vince McMahon, an off public feud. The Warrior must of patched things up quietly with Vince behind the scenes of wrestling to sign Warrior back to the WWE.

I think the Warrior would come in as a babyface, not as heel. The Anonymous GM hasn’t been so nice to the Nexus, Sheamus and Jericho lately. He seems to be doing good for the good guy wrestlers. When Warrior comes in, he would feud with Jericho for a long while, then maybe Sheamus ’cause of his “Celtic Warrior” name. Warrior would continue to feud with the Nexus, giving them matches that they don’t want fight against. Then Vince McMahon would return to have a long feud with Warrior to try to fire Warrior or force him to retire like he did to Ric Flair. There could also be a Bret Hart return to feud with Warrior at some point too and maybe have a match together at the next Wrestlemania?

Yep, so this is who I think the RAW anonymous GM is. The Ultimate Warrior, gotta be. All the clues are pointing directly at him, can’t you see it?

Cool Video: Dolph Lundgren sings and dances to Elvis live on stage! Yes this is for real!

Leave a comment

Dolph Lundgren, the action hero, recently hosted a Swedish yearly TV event called, “Melodifestivalen”. It’s a music competition similar to “America’s Got Talent/Idol” but different. Read more on, “Melodifestivalen”, here.

Many movie fans don’t know this, but other than being an expert martial artist and movie star, Dolph’s other passion is music. He was a musician before he became famous for movies. Dolph always loved to sing and play the drums. He’s got to show off his musical talent in his directed action movie, “Command Performance”, but never live on the performing stage. Dolph finally gets his opportunity to perform live.

Here he is, singing and dancing to Elvis’s “A Little Less Conversation”. He’s a badass in this video and does a good job. Just shows he would make a good host for the Oscars this coming year although I know he would never make it but it would be cool if he did host the, Oscars. Enjoy this video and have a laugh! Dolph sings good, I’m surprised!

Report: Robert Plant releases 9th solo album, “Band of Joy”…

Leave a comment

Robert Plant, just released his 9th solo album, “Band of Joy”, which is a name that was taken from his first band before forming, Led Zeppelin. The new album is concentrating on mostly: country, blues, gospel and of course, there’s some rock n’ roll on it as well.

Robert wasn’t very big in his solo career, but he had a few very successful solo albums such as “Manic Nirvana, “Now and Zen” and “Fate of Nations”.

Read more on it, here.

I’m happy for Robert that he’s still doing music since, the Led Zep reunion. Hopefully Jimmy Page will come out with a new music project sometime.

Hear a new song from his new album, a song called, “Angel Dance” in the video below.

Report: Jon Hamm is “rumoured” to be the next Superman…

Leave a comment

There are strong rumours flying around the net that “Mad Men” star, Jon Hamm, could be the next Superman/Clark Kent for Chris Nolan’s “Superman” flick. I never watched the show, “Mad Men”, before, but his character, Don Draper, does seem to have a Clark Kent personality. Then Hamm himself spoke with MTV News kind of hinting that he did get asked to play the role.

My thoughts? Some people may thinks he’s a bit too old for the role, but if I remember correctly, the Supes character was supposed to be aimed for a man in his 30’s – 40’s. It wasn’t really aimed at a young guy. I think Jon Hamm might be a good choice, if this news is true.

I wonder why Nolan is strict on casting for “Superman” and “Batman”. He seems to be keeping quiet on both of them for now. Hopefully Chris will talk soon.

Who is the best online fitness trainer???

Leave a comment

There seem to be quite a few fitness trainers on the internet that are becoming an online sensation. So far the ones that I could find that seem to be the most popular are Scooby’s Workshop, Scott Herman’s Fitness, Zuzana’s Body Rock TV “charliejames1975”, and Micah Lacerte’s “Hitch Fit”.

I will give each one a star review. * = means poor ** = means ok *** = means good **** = means excellent

Here are my honest thoughts on each one:

Scooby’s Workshop: Many of you know my thoughts on Scooby already. While some of his information can actually be helpful, he’s misinformed on a lot of stuff. He doesn’t have the greatest physique and his workshop seems to be more popular with kids & teens more than adults. He’s got quite a large fanbase, they all look after him like he’s some kind of hero. He wouldn’t have been this popular if he didn’t steal the name and the image after a legendary cartoon character, Scooby Doo. He likes to add humor to his workout videos by adding, Hans, who appears to be a toy gnome. His workshop is aimed at fitness people who don’t know what they’re doing and he wants to correct them. This guy Scooby, can be rude and negative in a lot of his videos. His screaming into a pillow thing is annoying and not funny. Score = *.

Scott Herman’s Fitness – This youtube channel would have to be my favorite. Why? His workouts and nutritional stuff is free to learn from. Scott Herman seems very friendly and gracious. He’s not brutally honest like Scooby is. Scott explains workouts and nutrition to make you understand him easier. When he teaches you workouts, he does ’em in perfectly good form. He’s a real professional as well. He’s got a great physique for a young dude like him. Pretty much all of his workouts really work and helpful. He seems down to earth and cool.  I would recommend looking after this guy. Score = ****

Zuzana’s Body Rock TV “charliejames1975” – This channel seems to be more directed at women, but a lot of her stuff can be helpful for men too. Her workouts are unique and different. She’s inspiring. Plus, she’s hot and sexy looking. Too bad though dudes ’cause look like she’s already married or something. Score = ****

Micah Lacerte’s “Hitch Fit” = His youtube channel is pretty cool and interesting, but my only problem with him that a lot of his workout lessons seems to be aimed more toward the experience and advanced bodybuilders. He doesn’t give anything on nutrition at all. When you go to the “Hitch Fit” website, you can see that his online training program is not free. He’s very expensive, it can cost you around 250 – 300  or way more to learn from him. You don’t really have to go for stuff like this, when you can lose weight and get ripped when not having to spend any money. Score = **

Hope this helps.

Report: Sly Stallone teasing plans on doing a film about MMA/UFC???

Leave a comment

Sylvester Stallone took to his twitter, teasing a new project that he is planning on doing a movie about MMA/UFC caged fighting. As you can see, Sly tweeted:

“The New Rocky… Update it with a young man with modern problems ,but he would not be called Rocky, just the philosophy would be used.”

“I would not be in it… It is an modern extension of the heart and philosophy . MMA too.”

“Yet a great MMA film should be done at once … Love must be the central theme like my buddy Rocky experienced. Pleasure/pain= LIFE”

Hmmmm, so what Sly is saying is that he is planning an MMA/UFC film that would be more like Rocky? I like the idea, a lot! As long as it won’t star Channing Tatum as the leading role, we don’t need another version of that aweful movie, “Fighting”.

It won’t surprise me that Sly will be eyeing, Randy Couture, as the leading role for this flick. Maybe Brock Lesnar would get a small role for it, as an opponent. I’m sure Dana White would get a cameo. There’s been fictional movies based on all sports but not many on caged fighting. If this will be Sly’s next movie after “The Expendables”, I’m all for it. The MMA/UFC community deserves their own film and it needs to be done by Sly. A Rocky styled MMA movie is a creative idea!

Brock doesn’t care about the MTV VMA’s anymore!!!

Leave a comment

So you have to ask. Did the Brock watch the MTV VMA’s last night? NOPE! I did not. I just don’t care about the fucking VMA’s anymore. Everything you see on that show is fake and scripted. Even this whole Kanye vs. Taylor feud is fake and scripted. I don’t take what MTV does seriously. I stopped caring for the VMA’s a long time ago. MTV was good in the 80’s during the hair metal era and the early 90’s during the grunge metal era, but after that, MTV turned to shit. I don’t know why people still watch that fucking station. Not my thing.

So Justin Bieber turns out to be a drummer and he did a drum solo at last night’s show. Oh goody! NOT! I can think of plenty of kids that can play the drums way better than him. Look through youtube and you can see kids from 10-15 playing drums professionally and skilled.

What did I watch last night instead? I watched the Cowboys vs. Redskins game instead. That was better. It was a good game too. I wanted the Cowboys to win, but not too worry there will be plenty more Cowboys games up ahead! I’m sure they’ll do better in the future! I find myself watching sports a lot more often and I’ll probably watch a lot more football this year. I like the NFL. MLB baseball is alright, but I find football more exciting. Fuck the MTV Awards, fuck it all.

Cool Video: The lovely Zuzana gives advice to not eat so much!

Leave a comment

Before I got into fitness, I was eating too much junk food. I was eating too many junk food snacks at night, a lot of fast food, and I drank quite a lot of soda everyday. I thought to myself, gee, what the hell am I doing? If America’s problem is obesity, then this is the people’s problem, eating too much junk food. I didn’t want to become a fat ass. So that’s another reason I got into fitness. To eat less, eat healthier and get fit. Eating less helps if you want to lose more bodyfat percentage and get more visible abs.

I feel great, eating better and eating less. I only eat two or three times a day. I don’t need to take in so much protein. I mix things up with high protein foods, high carbs, fruits/vegetables, etc. I recently discovered flaxseed oil, picked up a bottle of that at the store today. Flaxseed oil is an important part of the diet, that helps burn more bodyfat too.

Check out this interesting video. Not sure what country Zuzana is from. To me she sounds like she’s from France, her accent sounds French.

New pic of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, man, he’s looking RIPPED!!!

1 Comment

Here is a recent picture of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, spotted leaving the gym in Miami (his hometown, where he grew up for most of his life before his wrestling days). The Rock is currently filming, “Fast and Furious 5” with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Dwayne has been working out for the role.

Either that, or is Dwayne getting ready for a WWE return when he is revealed as the RAW anonyous general manager? We can only hope.

Looking good, Dwayne! This is the best shape he’s ever been in since his wrestling days.

Celebrity/musician deaths

RIP: Kevin McCarthy 1914 – 2010

Leave a comment

Veteran film actor, Kevin McCarthy, who became famous for playing the leading role in the original, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, movie in 1956, has died of natural causes over the weekend, he was 96. He wasn’t that big and popular of an actor, but he did became more well known with movies such as,”Innerspace”, and, “UHF”, which are his two most recognizable roles. He played the villain in both of those films. He also had roles in the first “Piranha” film, “The Howling”, “Twilight Zone: the Movie”, and many more.

To me, it was the films, “Innerspace” and “UHF” when I first discovered this guy. He really did play a good badguy in movies and he does a good job on getting people to hate this guy. I remember when I used to watch, “Innerspace” and “UHF” as a kid, I used to really hate him and used to think he was a big jerk in those movies. I know he’s not that kind of guy in real life, but man, imagine if he was that kind of person in real life. I don’t think you want to meet this guy in person, ha!

RIP Kev! He was a talented actor!

Edit to add: On another Kevin McCarthy note, that one scene in UHF when R.J. Fletcher was measuring things in the UHF station. Notice when Stanley comes out in the room, he looks at the TV. If you look closely at the TV during that scene, what movie is playing? Why, that’s none other than the original “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. It’s kind of funny when the young Kevin McCarthy is on screen, when the old one is in the same room. Ha! I never noticed that after all this time!
