Cool Video: Undertaker and Lesnar stare down from last night’s ppv…

Well, the internet’s all over this controversial video. The Undertaker and Lesnar stare down. To those wondering about this, Lesnar and Undertaker worked together while they were in WWE. They had a storyline feud and they were in the “Hell in a Cell” match together. Brock and ‘Taker never got along too well backstage in real life, behind the scenes of wrestling. You heard ‘Taker himself say in this video, “It’s personal”. So that’s a sign they hate each other as you can see.

What does Undertaker mean when he says, “You wanna do it?” and Lesnar says nothing. Did ‘Taker just challenge Lesnar a match for WWE wrestling? That’s what it seems like, doesn’t it? A rumour going around that Lesnar and ‘Taker could be the big headliners for the next Wrestlemania.

If you read Brock’s career history with WWE, Brock left WWE ’cause him and Vince weren’t on the same page. Brock sued WWE over some contract disagreement or something. I don’t think Brock will go back to the WWE for this reason, but who knows, maybe Vince McMahon and Brock will negotiate for him to return. You know how Vince loves more publicity with WWE and Brock is very controversial and popular. Vince “could” possibly welcome Brock back, but I don’t think it’ll happen.

I see this Undertaker and Brock public feud will escalate and get worse in the future. Maybe Undertaker could fight in UFC for one fight against Brock, if it’s all up to Dana, that might happen as well. These two guys will definitely be in the ring again somehow, whether’s it’s either WWE or UFC, either way. We’ll wait and see what happens.

Brock stands up for WWE…

People shouldn’t treat the WWE in a negative direction. I have stood up for WWE countless times in these blogs. Trying my best to defend the company from the ongoing negative critics that points directly at the company. I have been an obsessive fan of wrestling ever since I was a child. I just LOVE professional wrestling. I don’t know why. I just became very addicted to it. I just love how these guys perform. Even if the wrestling is fake and scripted, I still find it entertaining. The promos and the speeches the wrestlers do are amazing. Wrestling is almost like theatre in a way. That’s pretty much what it is. I respect what these guys do and respect how hard they work to perform for fans.

I may not like certain storylines and certain wrestlers, but I will always respect what they do. I have been a fan of WWE my entire life and still am to this day. For those that attack this PG rating, WWE started off as PG in the 80’s when Hulk Hogan, Andre, Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper, Macho Man, etc. were around back in those days. That’s all PG. Think about it. WWE wants to re-live that 80’s moment and doing a pretty good job of it. They created many superstars and wrestlers that I enjoyed, and loved. WWE is the reason that I became a huge fan of the hardcore wrestling genius, Mick Foley.

It’s no secret that WWE has always been a huge target in media and by people all over the world. If people are hating on the company, it just proves that the WWE is good at what they do. The company is not really about the money. Not at all. Yes, they are a billion dollar company, but WWE and their superstars really care for people. That’s what they put on these shows for is to entertain us and put smiles on our faces. The WWE are great entertainers. Probably the best in the world. Sure, you may go see, the “Ringling and Barnum & Bailey Circus” or the Big Monster trucks shows, but nobody cares about that stuff anymore. Professional wrestling has pretty much taken over the world of live entertainment for sure.

People accuse wrestlers of using steroids and drugs. People blame the WWE on all of these young wrestler deaths that’s been happening for a long while now. None of this is the WWE’s fault. Wrestlers may have used steroids in the past, but not anymore because WWE has a very strict Wellness policy that performers must follow. The wrestler deaths are not the fault of WWE. Most of the wrestlers that died no longer worked for the WWE. So they did drugs on their own terms when not working for wrestling at all. I can understand why people would blame the WWE on this stuff with drugs since the Chris Benoit controversy, but don’t blame this on the WWE. All they want to do is perform for us, the fans.

The WWE also gets attacked for their women that perform in the WWE, aka the Divas. People accused WWE of using women like sex slaves. How most of them are perfect looking women with breast implants and all that. Treating the women like sex slaves in storylines of WWE has happened in the past. They don’t do that stuff anymore, it all happened back in the TV-14 era. The women that perform on WWE now are no longer sexual. They don’t show cleavages anymore and they cover up a lot of skin now. Plus, beautiful women in WWE is needed so they can help sell tickets and more ppv buyrates.

Without the WWE, there would be no Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, Jake the Snake, Undertaker, Stone Cold, the Rock, John Cena, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Bret the Hitman Hart, etc. All these legendary superstars that mean a lot to so many people were all because of the WWE. People attack WWE out of jealousy, I’m sure. I can’t blame the company for defending themselves. The WWE is a very powerful company. Nothing can take them down although people try. I’ve been watching WWE for over 20 years ever since I was a child, and will watch ’til the day I die. I’ll never outgrow the WWE. I even dreamed of becoming a professional wrestler myself, but that dream is over ’cause I’m too late and too old for that. Most wrestlers start when they are very young.

The WWE is great at what they do, no matter if you like them or not. All these attacks and threats by the politicians at the WWE, is just proof that Linda McMahon will win and she will get elected Senate of Connecticut. Mark my words. Jesse Ventura went through this same trouble during his election for governor of Minnesota, because of his WWE background, but he got the win anyway. I respect the WWE. I respect the McMahon’s and the staff that work so hard at what they do. The WWE has my back, 100%. I will stand behind them, no matter what anybody says or thinks.

Report: Linda McMahon vs. Connecticut state politicians gets even nastier, people aren’t allowed to vote if they wear WWE garbs!!!

Now you understand why Vince McMahon started this, “I Stand Up for WWE” campaign. It’s not only to help his wife in the election for Conn. state senate, it’s also to help defend the company WWE. If voters wear WWE garbs, they will not be allowed to vote.

More on it, here.

I agree, the WWE is being unfairly attacked in the Senate race in Conn. I totally stand up for WWE, all the way. I will be writing a post to stand up for the WWE soon, stay tuned.

I think Linda could possibly win the election though, she may have a chance. Maybe bad publicity with the WWE will help her win, think about it! After all, Jesse Ventura’s background with WWE helped him win as governor of Minnesota, right?

Cool Video: Vince McMahon wants WWE fans to help stick up for WWE from this Richard Blumenthal vs. Linda McMahon feud…

Linda McMahon is running for Connecticut state Senate against Richard Blumenthal. Blumenthal is doing whatever it takes to get Linda to lose the election by blaming the WWE on a lot of things. Such as treating the WWE Divas like sex slaves, violence, wrestlers using drugs & steroids, etc. You get the drill. It was only a matter of time that Vince will jump in on this feud to help his wife. Here he is, urging WWE fans that he wants WWE’s fans to help stick up for WWE and not be looked at in a bad way.

What is my prediction on this heated election in Conn.? I think Linda has a good chance in winning the whole thing. Her WWE controversy is what’s going to help her get more votes.

Watch what Vince McMahon have to say here…

Thought: Why Mick Foley prefers to stay in TNA and not WWE…

Will Mick Foley, the hardcore wrestling legend, ever return to the WWE again? No. I don’t think he will come back to the WWE anytime soon. A few years ago, Mick left the WWE because he had a fallen out with Vince McMahon, didn’t get along with him business wise. So Mick decided to hang up the WWE and go to TNA instead. There’s a few reasons why I don’t think Mick will return to the WWE anytime soon. First of all, Mick seems more happier over in TNA. Why is this? Because TNA wrestling is simply not a PG rating. TNA is aimed toward the adult audience. TNA allows Hardcore wrestling with a lot of blood. That’s what Mick Foley is known for. He’s known for doing brutal hardcore matches that are a real bloodfest. TNA seems to be about that lately and that’s why Mick stays over there. WWE didn’t allow him to do the hardcore wrestling thing anymore ’cause they banned it in WWE ’cause of the PG rating.

Secondly, another reason Mick prefers to stay over in TNA is because the traveling schedule is not as hectic as WWE. TNA performs one show a week so that means less traveling and more time for themselves. Mick gets to write more of his books and spend more time with his family. Thirdly, another reason Mick prefers to stay in TNA is because a lot of his former WWE/WCW superstar friends are working over there.

I’m sure the WWE would welcome Mick back anytime he wants, because Vince McMahon still likes him. A few weeks ago on RAW, they plugged Mick’s book, “Countdown to Lock Down” which is a decision made by Vince. So Vince obviously has no bad blood against Mick at all. I would like Mick to come back to WWE, but to be honest, TNA is a good place for him to be. If he came back to WWE, the writers will mess up his character like usual. I sometimes watch TNA wrestling just for Mick Foley, not for the other wrestlers on there. Mick is a hero of mine and an inspiration. He’s one of the best wrestling performers and a good mic worker/speaker.  I wish Mick nothing but the best so I’m not worried about him returning to WWE.

If Mick does happen to return to WWE in the future, maybe if he’s the RAW anonymous GM after all this time, that’s cool, but I don’t see it happening. Mick is doing good in TNA and he belongs there now.

Brock’s Top 10 Wrestlers and Divas of all time

The WWE facebook page came up with a cool post. Since today is 10/10/10, they wanted the WWE Universe to name their top 10 favorite superstars of all time. I thought I would post that list here too.

Here is my list of my top 10 superstars of all time, I’ll name both WWE superstars and the Divas:

The Superstars:

  • Mick Foley
  • Ric Flair
  • The Rock
  • The Undertaker
  • HBK Shawn Michaels
  • Eddie Guerrero
  • Stone Cold
  • Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
  • Chris Jericho
  • Macho Man Randy Savage
  • Jeff Hardy

The Divas

  • Sable (Rena Mero)
  • Molly Holly
  • Miss Elizabeth
  • Sensational Sherri
  • Luna Vachon
  • Maria Kinellis
  • Victoria
  • Jillian Hall
  • Stacy Keibler
  • Jacquiline Moore

Yes, I like Jillian Hall, the Diva that sings bad on purposely, it’s part of her gimmick and I find it funny and entertaining. Plus she’s a stunning looking lady even though she’s fake and plastic like the rest of ’em, I give credit to Jillian. Good heel performer.

Enjoy the list.

Report: WWE will soon announce big changes that will soon happen in 2011…

Reports all over the wrestling world, are saying that the WWE are making huge changes for the company for all wrestling shows. The changes will happen in 2011 but they are being kept under wraps for now. See the article, here.

This will be a major shakeup, something HUGE. What could the huge shake up be? Here are some possibilities that people are throwing around:

  1. WWE could go back to PG-14 – Go back to bloody violence and half naked women with lots of cleavage. ( I hope this will happen but I doubt it, merchandise sales are flying high and you see a lot of children at all RAW/SD shows, so I don’t see them dropping the PG rating)
  2. Vince buys TNA? (Nice idea, but not a chance this will happen. Sorry)
  3. RAW/SMACKDOWN could merge into one brand to end the roster split. (Possibly, but I don’t see this happening ’cause of too many superstars, won’t make enough room to perform in one show)
  4. WWE will get their own wrestling cable channel to air RAW/SD and all WWE shows. (Not a chance this will happen, ever. USA has always been RAW’s home, Smackdown just moved to SyFy, so I doubt Vince will get his own WWE channel. WWE do have their own history channel which is only available for satellite TV, I believe?

Whatever the shakeup is going to be, I’m looking forward to it. You just never know what Vince McMahon and the staff at WWE Headquarters would come up with.

Report: Kurt Angle wants WWE return…

Former WWE star, Kurt Angle is still currently working for TNA. Even if he signed another contract to stay with TNA even longer, he still wants a big WWE return. He still plans to stay with TNA too. How can he work with two different shows at the same time?

See the article, here.

That’s good that Kurt Angle finally wants to return. Could he actually be, the RAW Anonymous GM? Heh, who knows. The WWE could certainly use him back since their ratings has been down as of late. Kurt Angle would also make a great member of the Nexus ’cause the Nexus could use a member that have wrestling talent, and Kurt Angle has that. Pretty much all members of the Nexus suck at wrestling, except for Justin Gabriel who seems pretty promising.

I’d like to see a Kurt Angle return. I’m all for it.

John Cena heel turn on the way? Sorry folks, I just can’t see it happening!

I didn’t watch last night’s WWE “Hell in a Cell” ppv for a few reasons. One reason, I’m trying to cut down on ppv’s. Another reason, I was worried that John Cena will win and become the hero again like he usually is on WWE ppvs. Turns out, I was wrong. I’m sure everyone else thought John Cena was going to win his match against Wade Barret. The thing is, if John Cena loses the match, he is forced to join Nexus. If Cena won, Nexus would be over. Turns out that Wade Barret won, and Cena will have to join Nexus tonight on RAW. Will Cena wear the black t-shirt with the N symbol on the front of it? He probably will. Some may think that Cena maybe turning heel very soon, but I don’t see it happening. Cena will pretend to be heel for a little while, then one day, he will stab them in the back and become a hero again. Cena is too popular with children. He sells a lot of merchandise, plus, Cena is doing movies. Maybe Cena will be a full time heel for a long while, don’t know, I don’t think it’s possible.

I read the results of “Hell in a Cell” ppv last night and it didn’t sound like a very good ppv. Glad I didn’t watch it.

Thought: Well, the anonymous RAW GM is definitely not Michael Cole…

There’s been a lot of speculation in the wrestling community that Michael Cole could be the RAW anonymous GM. Well last night’s RAW kind of proved that Michael Cole is not the RAW GM. Why?

When Edge was out in the ring giving a speech during his in ring talk show, “The Cutting Edge”, he was talking to the anonymous computer, while Michael Cole sat out in the announcer table. Later on during the show, Edge destroyed the anonymous GM computer. Guess what? Michael Cole was still sitting at the announcer table.

So this definitely shows that Cole is not the RAW GM.

RAW is getting close to revealing the GM. So we’ll know who it is soon. Who ever the RAW GM is though, is definitely a popular babyface, ’cause the GM has been doing nothing but busting on the heel wrestlers. There has been signs that the GM could also be Chris Jericho, but it’s not him either ’cause he’s leaving WWE to focus on music with Fozzy. The GM won’t be any of the current superstars performing today.

I think the GM will be a returning superstar coming back from a hiatus. It’s either going to be Triple H, Bret Hart or the Ultimate Warrior. My money is still on the Ultimate Warrior but…

… keep in mind that the RAW GM could also be no one other than Vince McMahon himself. Vince McMahon always liked to trick people like this, and this could explain Vince’s return to get his revenge on the Nexus. So don’t be surprised that it could be Vince McMahon. It could happen. Vince always liked that kind of controversy.
