Thought: The WWE shouldn’t be the blame for wrestler deaths…

I am so tired of people and the media blaming the WWE for wrestler deaths. Most wrestlers that die of either steroids or drug overdoses, didn’t work for the WWE anyway. Most of them were “fired” from the WWE in real life because they failed their wellness policy. That is the reason Andrew Martin was released from the WWE ’cause he failed the wellness policy.

The WWE does NOT hand these wrestlers drugs so they can get buffed up and muscular for matches. The wrestlers brought all of this upon themselves. All of these wrestlers that die of drugs was their own fault. They had chosen to get addicted, that’s what they did.

All WWE’s job is to entertain wrestling fans all over the world and keep the business alive, that’s all they care about.

Nobody knows how Andrew Martin died, because his cause of death hasn’t been revealed to the public yet, but if it indeed turned out to be drugs, I have a feeling the media will be blaming the WWE, non stop. The media has been blaming the WWE everytime a wrestler died ever since the Chris Benoit double murder/suicide controversy.

The wrestlers are human beings, so they make decisions on their own, and they made the decision to get addicted to drugs. I think, that anybody that gets addicted to drugs whether it’s steroids, pain killers, alcohol, coke, heroin, acid, etc. is suicidal. Really think about it. Drugs is suicide.

The WWE will always be alive. The WWE will always go on forever even when Vince McMahon is not around. They are not going to get shut down because of all of these wrestler deaths. The wellness policy in the WWE is there for a reason, to help their superstars.

Really, you have to look at all sports that uses drugs. Look at all these baseball stars that are admitting to using them too. Profesional boxers and UFC fighters probably use ’em all the time also.

I hate how muscular guys are an easy target. They always get blamed for everything.

WWE RAW SPOILERS: Oh my, did Jericho just hint that Mickey Rourke will be at ‘Mania 25?

Major RAW spoiler regarding the storyline with Mickey Rourke vs. Chris Jericho….scroll below….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, look like it’s going to be Jericho vs. Roddy Piper/ Ricky Steamboat/ Jimmy Snuka @ ‘Mania 25 w/ Ric Flair possibly in the corner. As Jericho challenged the match at ‘Mania on RAW tonight, he asked Mickey Rourke to attend ‘Mania by sitting at the front row.

My belief, that WWE privately asked Rourke to be at Wrestlemania 25 to attend the event by sitting in the front row to watch the Jericho vs. The Legends match, then Mickey Rourke joins in on the match by costing Jericho to lose it. Rourke to be part of the action at ‘Mania 25?

Who knows. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Report: Sci Fi channel will now be changed to “Sy Fy” which to me is pretty stupid!

The Sci Fi channel will be getting a new name. NBC Universal will be changing the name to “Sy Fy”. The name change will be in effect sometime in July. The Sci Fi channel is a popular science fiction TV channel, that aired shows like Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows, Battlestar Gallactica, etc. All kinds of sci fi/fantasy films. It’s even the home of WWE’s “ECW” on Wednesday nights.

RIP: Andrew “Test” Martin 1975 – 2009

It’s been a long while since there has been a WWE wrestler death hasn’t it? Sure has. Here is the first wrestler death of 2009. Andrew “Test” Martin, better known as, Test, in the WWE, was found dead in his Tampa, Fl. apartment.

To those who don’t remember him, in the early days of WWE, he had a major feud against superstar Triple H. Being in a love triangle storyline over Stephanie McMahon. In real life, Test dated former WWE Diva, Stacy Keibler.

Andrew’s cause of death is unknown at this time, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it has something to do with drugs. He was only 33 years old.

Cool Video: Hulkamania goes wild in divorce court…

In the Hogan divorce court today, Linda’s lawyer was in the middle of interviews with the press, when Hulk Hogan came along to confront the guy. The Hulk threatens to sue the guy, while Linda’s lawyer was shouting at him. Hulk’s own lawyer joined in on the action and it was lawyer vs. lawyer.

I’m sure the Hulkster wanted to tear his shirt off and say those famous words, “So whatcha gonna do brotha, when the Hulkster run wild on you.” Then give Linda’s lawyer the famous leg drop after, but of course, with Hogan on crutches, it would be pretty hard to do.

See the video below.

Report: Behind the scenes of the Triple H invades Randy Orton’s home segment on RAW last night…

  • The house that Triple H and Randy Orton filming in wasn’t really Randy Orton’s home. It was a house WWE rented in Florida just to film that one segment.
  • Randy Orton isn’t really married to that woman seen in that segment, the woman that played Randy Orton’s wife is actually a former Playboy model, Laura Croft. On Raw, Randy said he was married to that woman, named Samantha, which was played by Laura. In real life, Randy Orton is actually married to a woman named, Samantha Speno but looks like the actual Samantha didn’t want to act on TV.

Cool Video: Triple H and Randy Orton recreates Stone Cold vs. Brian Pillman segment on RAW last night…

As a way to celebrate 25 years of Wrestlemania, the WWE decided to remake a classic segment that was originally done by Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brian Pillman.

Remember the Stone Cold vs. Brian Pillman feud years back? Where they had Brian Pillman and his wife interviewed at his home, then they get attacked by Stone Cold? Well that segment was remade into a Triple H and Randy Orton version from last night’s RAW. Very cool homage to the late Brian Pillman! Great work WWE! 🙂

Thought: Lost my appreciation for “The Rock”…

I used to love “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson, he used to be a hero and I’ve idolized the guy for years ever since back when he was in WWE. When he turned his back on wrestling and became a movie star, he came out with a few good movies like “The Rundown”, “Scorpion King”, “Get Smart”, and “Walking Tall”…those were really great flicks, in my opinion.

Everything he has done after that: “Doom”, “The Gridiron Gang”, “The Game Plan”, and “The Race to Witch Mountain” hasn’t been interesting.

The Rock has been known to be this bad ass tough guy that we all loved to look after him. You know the most electrifying man in entertainment is gone. The dude is no longer interesting anymore. WWE wants the Rock to come back to wrestling for a few occasional appearances, but Rocky turns it down everytime ’cause he’s too busy making movies.

The Rock not only turned his back on profesional wrestling, he also turned his back on all the wrestling fans that loved him. The Rock won’t come back to WWE for a small run for his wrestling fans. I am beginning to think that the Rock is a big egomaniac, a self absorbed sellout that only cares for himself.

At least come back to Wrestlemania for one last final match, Rocky, come on!!!!! We all want to see the Rock layeth the smackdown for one last time. We all miss the Rock in WWE terribly, the WWE hasn’t been the same without him. He’s no longer interesting anymore. He’s turning himself into a mainstream celebrity. He no longer wants to be seen as a pro wrestler anymore.

I saw him host Saturday Night Live last night, there hasn’t been one segment where he brought his Rock WWE character back, so I guess he wants to act like that his wrestling character don’t exist anymore, since he is going under Dwayne Johnson, not Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Rock is a sellout, and a fame whore. Go ahead and ignore the wrestling fans dude. Continue to promote yourself in the mainstream. We wrestling fans want the Rock back to wrestling at least for a one time only appearance, but the Rock keeps turning his back on us. He’s no longer the Rock anymore. He’s no longer the People’s champ. He’s no longer the electrifying man in sports entertainment to perform in front of “millions and millions” of Rock fans.

The Rock is no longer cool anymore as he once was. Come on Dwayne, go back to the tough guy image, you don’t need the celebrity thing.

Report: Three main event matches for “Wrestlemania 25” confirmed!!!

At Wrestlemania 25 this year, there will be three huge main event matches. The headlining main event will be “Randy Orton vs. Triple H for the WWE Champ”, then there is “Big Show vs. Edge for the Heavyweight title”, and then there is, “Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker”.

This means that John Cena does not have a match yet, leaving him options that he could wrestle against either Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hogan and Austin are both rumoured to be wrestling at ‘Mania this year, but not against each other. If Hogan is confirmed to wrestle John Cena this year, then Stone Cold will probably wrestle Jericho. Those are just rumoured plans for ‘Mania, but the confirmed matches above are definitely happening.
