RIP: Jorge Gonzalez (aka Giant Gonzalez) 1966 – 2010

null

Jorge Gonzalez  was a professional wrestler who got his start in WCW as El Gigante. He then worked for the WWE in 1993, under the name of Giant Gonzalez, which he wore a fake muscular costume and a big bushy beard as you see in the picture above. His only feud in the WWE was against the Undertaker. Jorge left the WWE in October of 1993 to pursue a career in New Japan Pro Wrestling from 1994-95. Before Jorge’s professional wrestling career, he got his start in playing basketball because of his tall appearance. He was forced to quit playing basketball because of a serious injury he had in 1986. He came this close to being signed to the NBA, but did not make it. This is how he became a professional wrestler instead.

Around 1995, Jorge had to quit all sports because of his health. In Oct. of 2009, he got paralyzed for life and was put on a wheelchair. The 7 foot 7 tall, Jorge Gonzalez, died due to complications of diabetes. It is not known if he was ever married, but he has been best friends with legendary wrestling manager, Harvey Whippleman, for many years. Jorge was 44 years old.

Cool Video: Paul Bearer returns to the WWE!!!

Just last Friday night’s Smackdown. Percy Pringle aka Paul Bearer in WWE, has been away from wrestling for so long, so I guess he decided to return full time for the Kane/Undertaker feud. Paul Bearer still has the popularity.

Report: WWE blames low rating for last Monday’s RAW show on Randy Orton…

Last Monday’s RAW didn’t do very well in the ratings. The ratings were very low this week. Usually RAW ratings are good, but WWE is failing fast. Who does the WWE blame the low ratings on? Yep that’s right, Randy Orton. See the article, here.

Of course, they would blame it all on him. I don’t blame it on Randy Orton ’cause the fans are starting to like him now. He’s becoming a babyface, so the ratings aren’t his fault at all. What do I think happened to the ratings???

First of all, everyone’s probably sick of seeing WWE sticking their dicks up John Cena’s ass. Cena getting too much screen time, hogging the main events. Almost every RAW episode ends with Cena being the hero. Sick of it, sick of it, sick of it. Secondly, everyone’s sick of this RAW anonymous GM already. Thirdly, the reason no one watches RAW anymore is because all the iconic superstars are gone: No Rock, No Stone Cold, No Mick Foley, No HHH, No Jim Ross being the announcer, No more Dave Batista, etc. You get the drill. Maybe people are getting tired of celebrity guest hosts and getting tired of the PG rating. Also getting tired of the Nexus storyline.

Don’t blame on Randy Orton, WWE. Stupid! He’s just a guy doing his job, getting paid to perform for the fans.

Report: Chris Jericho to take time off from WWE again???

Rumours are swirling the nets that WWE star Chris Jericho could be quitting WWE or take some time off again. Why? Since he has a pretty big tour with his metal band, Fozzy, that is what’s putting his WWE career in question.

There are rumours that Jericho wants to concentrate on Fozzy full time and hoping to start an acting career.

I find this a shame that Jericho is about to go from WWE soon ’cause I feel it’s too early for him. He’s too young to be quitting. Jericho is just getting at the top of his game in WWE and he’s about to throw it all away. Jericho’s been on his twitter page, hinting that he’s leaving WWE soon. Just last night after his “Night of Champions” ppv appearance, Jericho tweeted this.  So does this mean Jericho won’t appear on RAW tonight? We’ll have to wait and see. I think he’s teasing but he might appear on RAW tonight, never know.

Thought: WWE doesn’t suck!!!

I see so many people slamming the WWE. Accusing them of being a bunch of phonies and saying how fake they are, and how they suck at everything they do. They are fake and scripted of course. They are entertainment. Like them or not, they are sports athletes. No matter what you think of them, they are athletes. The wrestling is fake, but as I always say, injuries do happen for real sometimes just like you can get injured on any job. I don’t care what anyone thinks about professional wrestling. Gotta give them the respect they deserve, ’cause they work very hard to keep their companies alive today. They are really good business and marketing people. They are better at marketing than almost every company out there. They sell out almost every arena shows, they get strong TV ratings and high PPV buy rates still. I give the WWE, a whole lot of respect. 100%. Like them or not, they do a good job entertaining people.

These guys travel every week non stop, no seasons off. They work hard, all year round, every day. Do they suck for that? I give all the performers respect because a lot of them don’t do wrestling for money. Why do they do wrestling? Because they simply love it. They are addicted to professional wrestling and huge wrestling fans just as much as we are. They may have went back to the PG rating, but you know what? The PG rating doesn’t bother me anymore. It’s actually a good move.

I get made fun of all the time for my love of professional wrestling. You know what? I’m cool with that. I enjoy what I want to enjoy. I’ve been watching professional wrestling for years, ever since I was a child. I still treat professional wrestling as a passion of mine. The WWE is a powerful company ’cause Vince is a great promoter and one of the best businessmen around. He’s a very intelligent guy. I still watch WWE ’cause I respect them. You should too, even if you’re not a fan of this brand. People call the superstars and performers fakes, but they didn’t get signed to the WWE overnight. These superstars had years of training and learning wrestling before they got to WWE. To me WWE is very special ’cause they need to entertain families and people around the world. They work very hard for what they do. So give them the respect they deserve. They still do a good job putting on shows even if it’s a PG rating.

Tonight’s “Night of Champions” PPV was good. Got some of my predictions right and some wrong. Kane won against Undertaker like I said. Randy Orton is now WWE Champion. I’m happy WWE gave the title win to someone else this time. It was getting kind of boring seeing John Cena win almost every ppv. It’s nice to finally have a little change for once! I loved the ppv. More on this tomorrow.

Quick “Night of the Champions” ppv predicitions

Well “Night of the Champions” ppv is tonight, and yes, I’m watching it. I thought I would write in my predictions quick before the ppv starts.

Six pack challenge for WWE Title: Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett vs. Chris Jericho vs. John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Edge

Winner: None of the above. Something will happen to one of those guys, Chris Jericho might get kicked out of the match being replaced by somebody else. This is the match that Triple H might join in and Triple H will come in and win the whole thing to become champ.

World Heavyweight Championship match: Kane vs. Undertaker

Winner: Kane. Everybody’s expecting ‘Taker to win, but I think Kane will get the win with outside interference of the Nexus, making Kane win somehow. Kane is expected to have a long title run, to keep his feud with Undertaker going.

U.S. Champion:- The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan

Winner: Daniel Bryan. The Miz will lose his US title so he wouldn’t have two belts when he cashes in for the Money in the Bank for another title match in the future. Plus, Daniel Bryan is already getting huge in the WWE, so I think Daniel will get the win.

IC Champion: Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston

Winner: I’m predicting Kofi Kingston will get the win. Kofi has been a favorite of mine for quite some time now.

The Big Show vs. CM Punk (non title match):

Winner: CM Punk. He already lost at the last Summerslam. I think Punk will win this one this time with the help of the Straight Edge Society members. I’m also predicting Big Show will get a heel turn to join the Straight Edge Society.

WWE Diva Championship lumberjill match: Melina vs. Michelle McCool

Winner: I’m thinking Michelle McCool will win this one.

WWE Tag Team championship: The Hart Dynasty vs. mystery opponents unannounced –

Winner: Who ever the mystery opponents will be. I think it’s going to be John Morrison and R-Truth, but I don’t know. I’m thinking WWE is saving this one for a surprise tag team that is about ready to make a huge return. It won’t be the Hardy Boys, ’cause Jeff is in TNA and Matt is out of country in England. I don’t think it’s going to be DX, I don’t think it’ll be Cryme Tyme. We’ll have to wait and see who it is.

Hope the ppv will be good.

Report: Undertaker vs. Kane match is making it in national sports news!

See the picture above? That’s Undertaker and Kane at the Times Union Center when they were just here for “Smackdown” in Albany, last month. 🙂 This Undertaker vs. Kane match at “Night of the Champions” ppv is getting huge in national sports news. Usually WWE never makes the sports news since they are entertainment wrestling, but when it comes to the Undertaker and Kane, it gets huge in sports for some reason. Now you understand why WWE have these two feud against each other all the time? Yes, that’s right, it’s marketing ploy. There is something about the sports world that likes Undertaker and Kane.

Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane, speaks with the NY Daily news about the upcoming ppv, this Sunday. Read it here.

In the past, everytime Kane became world champion, he never got to hold the belt long and he loses it the next week after. This is the longest Kane had the belt ever.

Everybody thinks Undertaker will become the new WWE Champion and win, but I don’t know. I’m predicting Kane will win and will retain. I think Kane will have a really long title run. Will I watch the ppv this Sunday? I don’t know. I’m thinking about it. Maybe. If I won’t be watching it, I’ll be reading the live results online.

I have a feeling Triple H may make a surprise return at the ppv, and the RAW anonymous GM might be revealed as well. Who knows.

Cool Video: Matt Hardy videoblogs to squash rumours that he’s been sent home from England…

WWE Superstar Matt Hardy took to his youtube page to squash rumours that he’s been sent home from England. He makes a video to prove that it’s not true, he’s still in England. I have noticed that Matt Hardy has been away from WWE, taking some time off again.

Watch this hilarious video. Matt is a bit of a whack job in real life, the way he is on TV.

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

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?

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

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.
