WWE to put their divas posing nude for Playboy to an end???

Leave a comment

In case you wrestling fans haven’t noticed, WWE hasn’t had a Diva pose for Playboy in such a long time. The picture above is the latest Diva posing for Playboy way back in the April issue of 2008.

Why? Rumours swirling around the wrestling websites WWE could stop having Divas pose nude for Playboy for good.

Reasons being, that WWE wants their RAW, ECW, and Smackdown shows to be more children oriented like it used to be in the 80’s and early 90’s of wrestling. WWE wants to stop writing storylines and matches aimed toward the adults. They want children to start watching WWE again.

Which is a great thing they are doing because I’m sure that everyone watched wrestling as a young child whether you still watch it or not. Notice that John Cena has turned Hulk Hogan like and Randy Orton is starting to become more like Stone Cold/The Rock.

Thing is, WWE wants the next Wrestlemania for the young children to enjoy, so WWE is quickly trying it’s best for the shows to go PG. For that, this might be the reason that WWE might quit doing Playboy for the Divas.

WWE deserves to be popular and mainstream again like it was in the 80’s and 90’s, so they are trying their best to be WWE old school again. Children are not allowed to buy Playboy of course, but think how their parents would react if they were still having Divas posing nude. WWE wants to avoid an outrage by parents, and they don’t want to turn parents off by forcing children to switch the channels and not taking them to live WWE shows.

While I’m a fan of Playboy magazine, I like reading it, I think it’s a good idea that WWE should stop having Divas posing. Children deserve to be WWE fans again, go back to old school WWE the way it was before!

Oh yeah, speaking of WWE, I will be going to Smackdown on March 1st at the Glens Falls Civic Center, I’ll be ordering tickets this weekend or next week. I haven’t been to a WWE show in a long time and now that WWE is performing closer, I’ll be able to go. Glens Falls, the hometown of Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Hacksaw is still performing in WWE today so you know he will make an appearance, maybe even give him a main event match like WWE always do to a wrestler when a show is in their hometown. Can’t wait to go to the show. I’ll bring my digital camera and take pictures of the superstars in action, I’m gonna try to get good seats for that. Yes, cameras are allowed at WWE shows, people take pics all the time at wrestling shows. Looking forward to it.

Geez, what is this? First Mickey Rourke drops out of Wrestlemania. Now Ac/Dc announced that they are not performing there either due to their big European tour that they have a full schedule to.

Good for Ac/Dc. They don’t need to perform there anyway, just let WWE use their songs for the themes and that’s all the good promoting they need.

Stone Cold to have one final wrestling match at WM-25???

Leave a comment

Rumours are swirling heavily in the world of wrestling news on the web, that Stone Cold Steve Austin may have his final and last farewell match at Wm-25, since it’s been announced he’s being inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Behind the scenes of wrestling, it’s been said that Vince McMahon tried to sign the Rock to wrestle Stone Cold at Wm-25. “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson turned it down of course. Dwayne is too busy making movies, I think “The Rock” is done with wrestling forever. Vince tried to ask Hulk Hogan to wrestle Stone Cold at Wm-25, but of course, Hulk turned that down too

Since most the former legends do not want to wrestle Stone Cold and most of the WWE Top stars are already in other storylines, Stone Cold still has no possible opponent for Wm-25.

My question is, why is McMahon trying to get Stone Cold to wrestle another wrestling icon at Wrestlemania, when Stone Cold’s Wrestlemania oppponent should be no one other than Vince McMahon?

I think it’s appropriate that it should be Stone Cold vs. Vince for Wm-25, Stone Cold’s long time enemy, the feud that was important to the WWE in the first place.

Now, don’t get your hopes up of Stone Cold wrestling his final match at Wrestlemania ’cause it’s just a rumour at this point. I hope it’s true though, we’ll just have to wait and see, keep our fingers crossed.

Report: TNA Wrestling offers disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, a job to TNA wrestling as chairman for the Main Event Mafia…

Leave a comment

Since the announcement that disgraced Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was impeached, TNA Non Stop Action wrestling company is offering Blagojevich a job to perform storylines in TNA. TNA is offering Rod to become chairman of the Main Event Mafia stable. The Main Event Mafia is a new group of heel wrestlers similar to the WWE’s Corporation/nWo. The Main Event Mafia is currently being lead by Kurt Angle, but Kurt says he’s all game for Rod taking over leadership of the group.

More on it here:

I actually agree with Kurt Angle that Rod is innocent until proven guilty. I’ve been following the Blagojevich impeachment trial and all that, look like that trial was all talk, they couldn’t prove anything that Rod sold the Senate seat

I’m not on Blagojevich’s side or nothing like that, I don’t like the guy either but you have to understand the fact that he is innocent until you can prove he did anything wrong. I think his impeachment was all ego and power of politics, had nothing to do with selling the Senate seat. Illinois just wanted to get rid of him simply because no one in that state liked the guy.

Did the impeachment trial prove he did anything wrong? No. It was all talk. He shouldn’t have to be impeached just because people don’t like him. I’m not defending the guy, just being real.

As long as WWE don’t have Brian and Angus feuding with other wrestlers, I’m all for them being at Wrestlemania!

Report: Vince McMahon responds to reports about Mickey dropping out of Wrestlemania, Vinnie Mac says actor will still be there?

Leave a comment

Vince McMahon, chairman of the WWE, immediately responded to reports about Mickey Rourke dropping out of Wrestlemania. Vinnie Mac denies Rourke dropping out and will still be there. However, Vince refuses to say how he would be there. Whether Rourke will be competing, fighting, wrestling, or having any physical contact with Jericho.

More on it here:

http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_29642.shtml

I am now thinking that Rourke announcing the drop out is part of this storyline, like I said before, trying to make it realistic. That way Jericho can go on RAW calling Mickey a coward publicly, and Jericho will end up doing whatever it takes to get him to fight Jericho at WM-25.

I think Rourke vs. Jericho at WM-25 will happen. Keep in mind that this isn’t the first time they tried to make storylines realistic. Remember the Trump vs. McMahon fued? That was pretty realistic. Stone Cold feuding with Mike Tyson in the earlier days, they kept that realistic too. Also, boxer Floyd Mayweather feuding with the Big Show. Don’t forget William Shatner kicking Jerry Lawler’s ass and Bam Bam Bigelow having a match with football legend Lawrence Taylor.

When WWE stars are feuding with other celebrities, they like to try to keep the storyline realistic as possible to hype up Wrestlemania, so don’t take everything WWE does seriously. Rourke announcing the dropout could be scripted.

Thought: Ric Flair to wrestle Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 25 instead of Rourke?

Leave a comment

Since the announcement of Mickey Rourke backing out of Wrestlemania for the match against Chris Jericho, I have came to another thought that the legendary Ric Flair could possibly be Jericho’s replacement opponent instead. Notice when Jericho and Rourke were feuding together for a little bit, there was a lot of Ric Flair talk.

Although Ric Flair is a retired wrestler in real life right now, I think he’ll make his one last match at Wrestlemania against Jericho. I don’t think it’s possible that Jericho will take the World Champ belt from Cena, because John Cena will probably keep the belt until Wrestlemania.

The Wrestlemania 25 main event will indeed be Cena vs. Orton, so Jericho’s definitely out of the title shot at Wrestlemania even though Jericho will have a title shot at the next WWE PPV “No Way Out”.

I could be wrong again, maybe Jericho does have a chance at getting the title before Wrestlemania because there’s a few more WWE ppv’s before Wrestlemania. If Jericho does indeed become World Champion before Wrestlemania and faces Randy Orton at the main event, then maybe WWE will have Ric Flair as the special guest refferee for that match.

Ric Flair will probably make a short return to WWE to help stick up for his friend Mickey Rourke. In a storyline, Vince McMahon forced Ric Flair to retire by having a “retirement” match against Shawn Michaels on a ppv. In real life, Ric Flair really wanted to retire.

Even though Vince hates Flair in a storyline and would not want Flair back in WWE, there is still a way for the writing team to bring Flair in, like maybe have Shane or Stephanie McMahon sign Flair to Wrestlemania. I think it’s a possibility that Flair will be coming back to WWE to confront Jericho while he’s on the journey for the World Champ.

BREAKING NEWS: Mickey Rourke pussies out of Wrestlemania match against Chris Jericho…

Leave a comment

After Mickey Rourke saying at least a couple of times, he is dying to go to Wrestlemania to fight against Chris Jericho, Rourke for some reason changes his mind. He claims that he is entirely focused on his acting career although he has his full  respect toward the WWE as Rourke is a huge fan of the wrestling business.

More on it here:

http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/08/12/wrestler-rourke.jpg

Yep, I can see Jericho on RAW this coming Monday, calling Rourke a coward for backing out, that’s exactly what he’s going to do!! LOL!!

What a bummer! I really wanted to see this match too.

Ah well, now Jericho can have an actual match with an actual wrestler at Wrestlemania, not have a match against a celebrity movie star. Maybe Chris Jericho can now take the World Champ belt from John Cena, so it can be Jericho vs. Randy Orton at Wrestlemania, now that’s a match I’d rather see instead!!

Cool Video: Mickey Rourke vs. Jericho heats up on Larry King live last night…

Leave a comment

Mickey Rourke and Chris Jericho both appeared on Larry King Live last night to help promote Wrestlemania 25. Mickey was in Larry’s studio live in person, Jericho was on via sattelite.

Of course, Jericho is in character acting like the badguy he always is, and Mickey is just being a nice guy throughout most of the interview. Yes, wrestling is fake, but these guys are just trying to make this storyline realistic. In this interview you can clearly see that Jericho is making Rourke look like a little kid, lol.

Mickey challenged Jericho a boxing match, not a wrestling match. See the funny interview here. Will Mickey actually appear on RAW in person this coming Monday? We’ll have to tune in and see.
