So Billy Corgan, the leading frontman of the Smashing Pumpkins, started up his own wrestling company, called Resistance Pro. It’s where they would have wrestling events in Billy’s hometown of Chicago. Well, last Friday’s event at the Excalibur nightclub was a huge success.
Billy couldn’t be there ’cause he’s stuck in a European tour overseas, but he was able to watch the event via, Skype.
There are a lot of wrestling legends out there, who were once pretty big in the 80’s. The question is, who is the most inspirational of them all? Hulk Hogan? Bret Hart? Macho Man? Roddy Piper? Shawn Michaels? The Undertaker? The list can go on.
They were the greats back in the day, but in my opinion, I think the Ultimate Warrior is the most inspirational retired wrestler of them all. Warrior is so special in a lot of ways.
Here are 5 reasons explaining why:
His match at Wrestlemania 6 with Hulk Hogan was a classic – This is one of the important reasons why we all love Warrior. It’s his classic match with Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 where Warrior won the IC title. This was the first time where we all began to think that Warrior was an important figure in the wrestling business.
He doesn’t believe in comebacks and refuses a Hall of Fame induction – Warrior is a retired wrestler, and he “stays” retired. He doesn’t believe in wrestling comebacks. Most so called retired wrestlers have came out of retirement over the years, but not with Warrior. Why make a comeback and ruin what he had in the past? He had a good and positive career run, why mess it up, ya know? Fans want Warrior to make one last WWE run, but I don’t think he will anytime soon. Even though he is a retired wrestler, he’ll still do events for fans like autograph signings and things like that, just to entertain the fans that he still has. He also keeps refusing a WWE Hall of Fame induction, and that’s good. The WWE Hall of Fame is a joke anyway.
His web presence is addicting – He had a web presence for years. For a long while, he’s been writing on his official blog, but then he launched. O.W.N. (One Warrior Nation), earlier this year where he could interact with his fans on a personal level. He’s a very honest guy. He’s a good speaker and just interesting to listen to. I like the way he thinks. He’ll open your eyes up on a lot of things. He’ll speak on topics about anything he wants, no holds barred discussions. That’s another reason why I like him.
He’s good with his fans – He enjoys meeting his fans in person, signing autographs and posing for photos. He even responds to people online through the O.W.N. website.
He makes great youtube videos – There’s a lot of wrestlers that have their own youtube channels, but Warrior’s the best. He also gets a lot of youtube hits than most of them. I’m always watching Warrior’s videos and always looking forward to his next one. He does a great job entertaining people than any wrestler out there.
He’s the fuckin’ man!!! – He seems like a real good guy in real life. Most professional wrestlers can have huge egos but Warrior has no ego in him at all. He’s just down to earth and friendly.
Even though I haven’t been watching RAW for the past several weeks, I had to watch last Monday’s RAW ’cause the Rock was going to appear. I love the Rock. Dwayne Johnson is always awesome, but last Monday’s show was terrible. It was a 3 hour special of RAW. Mick Foley came back that night, who is another hero of mine.
They’re really trying to make everything you see in WWE TV being real, when it isn’t. They’re trying to make all the storylines believable. I just don’t like how they’re ignoring the wrestling part of it and concentrating on the entertainment stuff.
I totally miss the old days of WWE, man. Back in the old days were really great. That’s when WWE was special, the Attitude Era. Now WWE is for kids.
It is why I watch TNA Impact every week now, ’cause they concentrate on the wrestling part of things. I want to see wrestling, not a fucking circus or a soap opera, come on. Even though I don’t like how WWE is going, I’ll always respect the performers. There are still talented performers in the WWE today, it’s just that I don’t like the PG rating like everyone else.
I’ve watched WWE pretty much my entire life and I didn’t think I would ever give up on them. I’ve had it with WWE. Their storylines lately are looking like stuff that you can read from pre-school childrens books. That’s how family friendly they’re getting. Almost feels like you’re watching Sesame Street.
I really miss the old days. At least TNA knows what real wrestling is all about, they’re doing a good job. I”ve been liking TNA more and more as I watch. I’m about to watch TNA Impact, tonight.
George Clooney, and, Stacy Keibler, have kept their relationship to themselves for quite a while. Now they are finally starting to make it public. George is the first to speak out about the relationship in the next Rollingstone, in which he is on the cover. He doesn’t mind Stacy talking about the relationship on her twitter account and says she can do whatever she wants.
He also talks about what it’s like for his world of, “fame”. George maybe one of the biggest celebrities and icons in Hollywood, but is his life all perfect and glorifying that everyone thinks? According to George himself, no, he isn’t perfect. He reveals that he is just like the rest of us, just an ordinary human being. He likes to joke around and laugh, like the rest of us. He admits that he finds “farting” funny. He likes farting so much that he even has farting sounds on his phone.
He maybe rich & famous, yes, but don’t judge the book by it’s cover that his life maybe perfect. I’m sure he doesn’t even care about the fame. He works on movies ’cause that what he does for a living. He is a talented actor and director. He is one of my favorites.
Is he a fan of WWE? I’m sure he’s no wrestling guy at all. I’m sure he’s a big fan of hot women. I’m also sure, Stacy went after him and George ended up liking her.
It’ll be interesting to see how long this relationship lasts. Will they go as far as getting married? Who knows. I’m not into gossip too much but since this is WWE related, I had to post about this. Plus, I’m a fan of George’s work as well.
Pics have surfaced the internet of current WWE star, Kane (real name: Glenn Jacobs), seen here with his wife. Kane have been taking time off from WWE, and look like he is growing his hair and beard back.
What for? Is he preparing to get his mask back? Are we going to get the return of the masked Kane? Hopefully.
ESPN’s show E60 will air a special about former WWE/WCW star, Scott Hall, who used to be Razor Ramone, and was one of the founders of the nWo wrestling group. Scott has had a long history of battling his addiction of drugs & alcohol, and he is still having problems to this day. His fellow wrestling friends such as Triple H, Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, Hogan and others tried to help Scott get clean & sober, but it was no good. Scott is still having problems as you can see in this video here.
I really hope Scott Hall gets the help he needs before it’s too late, or else he’s going to be next in line of all those dead wrestlers from the past. I’m even surprised the guy is still alive.
Like Scott Hall or not his wrestling career was really legendary. He had many classic matches and created history with professional wrestling over the years. He was also a tremendous performer & wrestler. I hope he gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame because he certainly deserves it.
Since Vince McMahon is doing business with Dana White that he got Brock Lesnar as a playable character for “WWE 12” video game, there could be more projects with Lesnar for the WWE. Maybe a DVD of Brock Lesnar’s WWE career is coming up ahead and things like that. So this means that Vince and Brock are already on good terms. It just proves that Vince still likes Brock Lesnar after all these years despite that fallen out they had in the past.
Vince wants Brock back in WWE, it’s just that Dana doesn’t want to mess up Brock’s UFC career, understandably. Who knows, maybe Dana will allow Brock to make occasional WWE appearances, and not a full time run. Like they all say, anything is possible with the WWE.
The reason that Brock Lesnar returning to WWE rumors started back up again is because of this Undertaker & Lesnar stare down that happened at UFC 121 last year, remember that? Now that Lesnar says there is a definite possibility of him returning to the WWE through the IGN.com interview, now there are talks of who is Lesnar going to feud with when he returns.
Will it be against the Undertaker? Probably, yes.
I would also think that Lesnar would be feuding with who ever has the WWE Title. Brock would want to go for another title run in WWE if he comes back.
Seriously though, in answer to the question on who I would like to see Lesnar feud with in WWE… here is my top 5 list…
Undertaker – Of course, he would be my first pick. I’d like to see a closure to this feud myself and it should happen at Wrestlemania.
Vince McMahon – Vince and Brock had a real life feud out of WWE, which is one of the reasons why Brock left. Could they bring it into a storyline? Yes, I can see it happening. I think a Vince and Brock feud would be pretty entertaining.
Randy Orton – Here is one guy that Lesnar never had a feud with before in WWE. I could see it happen easily. If Randy is WWE Champion at the time Lesnar is back, I can see Lesnar go after him for the title.
CM Punk – Another guy that Lesnar never feuded with before. I can see these guys putting on a great wrestling match on a ppv.
Mark Henry – Mark Henry is the big 500 lb. guy known as the “World’s Strongest Man”. While I don’t really enjoy two big guys feuding against each other, I would enjoy this one if this ever happened.
Lesnar returning would be good, ’cause I think this is what the WWE needs. Like Lesnar or not, he creates a lot of attention in the media. I’m sure Lesnar coming back would also bring Paul Heyman back as Lesnar’s storyline manager.
My question is would Lesnar be a heel or a babyface in WWE when he returns? If he does, that is. I would prefer him being a heel, but the fans are going to be happy to see him back, they’ll be cheering for him like crazy, so he’s probably gonna be a babyface anyway.
IGN.com did an interview with Brock Lesnar since he was included as a playable character for WWE’s “12” video game, and he was asked if he’ll ever return to WWE in the future.
Lesnar said:
“It would have to be under the right circumstances. I don’t know if Mr. McMahon and I could come to the right circumstances. If it was good for me and good for him I think that we could do something. At the end of the day, my life, my character and my profession – I take them very seriously. At the end of the day, if it doesn’t help me or my family out, and it doesn’t make sense for me to do, then I don’t do it. Everything would have to fall in the right place, but would I consider it? Absolutely.”
I think it could be possible that Brock could make a WWE return in the future too. Just give it time, if Lesnar keeps losing UFC fights and if Dana puts his UFC career to an end, I’m sure he’ll want to return to WWE then.
Vince and Brock may not be in good terms now, but they can always re-negotiate.
I think I officially gave up on WWE. Not for good. For a while at least. For the past three or four weeks, I start to watch RAW and then I switch the channel to Monday Night Football on ESPN instead. RAW got interesting for a little bit with the controversial CM Punk storyline, but it went downhill. I don’t like the new storyline going on right now where WWE superstars protest to make RAW a better show which is inspired from the Occupy Wall Street protests. WWE has been bringing a lot of kafayabe and trying to make the product seem real. Plus, this PG rating has gone too far for me. I used to have no problem with the PG rating, but it’s starting to get to me now.
I miss the old days of WWE, the Attitude Era. Those days were amazing. I miss the hardcore violence, blood, sexy women, etc. We don’t get that anymore in WWE. TNA “Impact Wrestling”, has all that now.
So I stick with watching TNA “Impact Wrestling”, every Thursday instead of WWE lately. I’m actually enjoying this Hulk Hogan vs. Sting feud. Sting as the Joker gimmick is pretty entertaining stuff. Sting is currently playing this new gimmick similar to the Heath Ledger Joker from “The Dark Knight” movie. Sting portrays the Heath Ledger, Joker pretty well. It’s pretty much dead on. I hope Sting keeps the Joker gimmick for a while.
I like TNA because that company brings back memories to the old WCW days. I like some of their wrestlers too like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Ken Anderson, and Bully Ray. Plus, TNA has better divas than the WWE, in my opinion. I like Velvet Sky, Mickie James and Miss Techsmacher.
Even though I’m starting to lose interest in WWE, I’ll always respect the performers. WWE is becoming too family friendly for my tastes, and that’s what I don’t like about it.
I like wrestling that is aimed at the adult audience where the true wrestling at, that’s why I’m starting to watch TNA more. TNA writes better storylines and has better wrestling too.
