Report: Aronofsky to screen “The Wrestler” for Vince McMahon…

While many real life wrestlers came out to “The Wrestler” premiere in Los Angeles and most wrestlers in America enjoyed “The Wrestler”, directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Mickey Rourke, it makes you wonder if Vince McMahon, chairman/owner of the WWE came out to see the movie?

Well, the truth is, Vince didn’t see the movie yet. Darren Aronofsky wanted Vince McMahon to see it. So Aronofsky, went to McMahon’s home in Connecticut and showed a private screening of “The Wrestler” for McMahon alone.

Vinnie Mac, has not yet gave out a public review of his thoughts of the film but hopefully he will soon. I’m sure the wrestling community is dying to know his thoughts. Will Vince McMahon even invite Mickey Rourke to the WWE to perform a storyline and have a ppv match? Would it be freakin’ cool if it would be Vince McMahon vs. Mickey Rourke at Wrestlemania 25? Hell yeah!!!

Cool Video: President Bush praises WWE for their “Tribute to the Troops” specials…

Every year on Christmas, the WWE will travel to Iraq, to perform for US troops and to spend the entire day with them. It’s the WWE’s way of putting smiles on the troops faces after difficult times fighting in Iraq war. Other than getting the opportunity of the US Army seeing WWE superstars perform in a ring, the troops also gets to spend time  with the superstars, yes that means meeting the superstars in person and the WWE Divas gets to give the troops hugs and kisses. Sorry, the male troops DO NOT get one night stands with any of the WWE Divas of course, so don’t get any ideas.

Love WWE or hate them, you too should give WWE kudos and the respect for what they do to the troops in Iraq. The WWE is brave enough to do something like this when Iraq is dangerous. Don’t worry though, the WWE ring where they perform in Iraq is surrounded by huge tanks, planes, etc. in case WWE do get attacked or bombed by our enemies. The WWE has been doing this for the past years and the troops make sure the WWE is unharmed and protected.

Report: Jeff Hardy is finally World Champion!!!

WWE Superstar, Jeff Hardy, is finally world champion. I watched last night’s “Armageddon” ppv and it was actually pretty good.

The best matches of the night were: Vladmir Kozlov vs. Matt Hardy, Randy Orton vs. Dave Batista, and the World Champ match with Triple H vs. Edge vs. Jeff Hardy in a triple threat.

And Shawn Michaels HBK turned heel by teaming up with JBL, which is going to be awesome!!!

Report: Jim Ross bashes Albany, N.Y. fans…he calls us “jackasses” and “ignorant”…

Since Smackdown was in Albany, N.Y. last Tuesday at the Times Union Center, Jim Ross who is the commentator for the Smackdown brand, blogged his thougths about that night. While he is proud of the show and loved how that show turned out, he didn’t like the way the fans reacted toward the show.

J.R. wrote in his blog:

About 99% of the wrestling fans I have met over the years are good folks and are nice to be around. The other 1% of which some were represented in Albany Tuesday night can be a real pain in the ass. They can’t stand it if those within ear shot don’t know that they read the wrestling newsletters and spend ample time on wrestling websites. They love to spout “insider” info especially personal items that makes one embarrassed to be a fan during these uncomfortable times.  I could care less if fans rib me about being an OU Football fan as that’s old news but when these alleged, educated (I’ll use that term loosely) fans are so insecure that they want to be a part of the show and would rather make jackasses of themselves or yell at Tazz and me than watch the show then there is something wrong. 

From J.R’s official website here:

http://www.jrsbarbq.com/blog/jerry-ring-lawlerignorent-fan-feedbackknoxbrodyortonmale-fansswagger

Welcome to the real world J.R. It is not the 80’s anymore. Everybody knows the news of behind the scenes of WWE that aren’t posted on WWE.com, ’cause that’s what wrestling fans do, they read inside information and spend time reading news on sites like Pwinsider, 1wrestling, etc. Which are called “smart fans”. The fans that know everything behind the wrestling industry. WWE seems to be uncomfortable with the “smart fans” but that’s the way life is. The internet is a good tool to discover WWE secrets and it seems to piss WWE off. WWE should appreciate all fans that support the company.

The Albany, N.Y. Smackdown will be aired on MyNetworkTV tonight at 8 p.m. I’ll be watching.
