That match even got Chris Jericho wondering whether that fight between Lesnar vs. Orton was real or not. Jericho got concerned about Orton’s well being but Jericho and Lesnar got into a little fight backstage ’cause of it. Vince confirmed it was all a work and even Randy knew it was.
Interesting article, though. Gotta give props to Jericho ’cause he cares for people and he’s a good guy in real life. I’ll admit that Lesnar can be a bit of a narcissist and a bully, though.

Last night, I watched “WWE Summerslam” ppv on the WWE Network. A lot of people are complaining about the ending but I thought it was a great ending. Ya know, they don’t call Brock Lesnar “the beast incarnate” for no reason and they wanted to make a point with Brock Lesnar. They did exactly that last night. Lesnar is once again this unstoppable monster. He’s been exactly that ever since he beat the Undertaker and broke the Undertaker’s streak at Wrestlemania. Lesnar is the unstoppable monster in the UFC and they wanted keep the unstoppable monster going in the WWE.
There’s a lot of talk that Lesnar went off script and he beat Randy Orton in a bloody mess for real. In my opinion, I don’t think so. It was scripted for sure. I could tell that Lesnar was sticking to the script. While the blood did look pretty real to me, there is a technique that wrestlers do to their opponents called “blading”. It’s where they hide a small knife where they cut the opponent off-screen so they can look like they’re in a bloody mess. So it was definitely all fake for sure, of course. WWE just did a good job on making it look “real” as possible.
A lot of people are shitting on the Summerslam ending but once again, I thought it was great. Lesnar the beast has returned. The monster in him is what I love about Lesnar. He’s a heel that everyone loves to hate.
On top of all this, with the way this thing is going with Brock Lesnar in WWE is leading up to something. It’s leading up to a possible match against Bill Goldberg so will there be a Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg match in the future? There’s been a lot of talk on that. I heard that Goldberg called out Lesnar so the feud is already starting. What I think is gonna happen is that Lesnar is gonna keep beaten up superstars like he did with Randy Orton and then Bill Goldberg decides to be the hero to try and stop Lesnar. I think a Lesnar vs. Goldberg match will possibly happen at the Royal Rumble or the next Wrestlemania. I think it be better at the next Wrestlemania in 2017. Bill Goldberg is a wrestling icon too, he was another legend from WCW. So far, Brock Lesnar beat all the legends and icons in the WWE but not yet Bill Goldberg.
I was kind of shocked to see the blood myself ’cause when I saw that, I thought to myself, “I thought Vince McMahon banned blood in WWE, did he just lifted the ban?”. Probably not. Blood is probably only allowed during a Brock Lesnar match ’cause when you see a Brock Lesnar match, you’re gonna expect to see blood. It’s not a Brock Lesnar match if blood wasn’t allowed, right? If there’s no blood during a Lesnar match then he’s no longer the “beast incarnate”. Something to think about.
Yep, this is all leading to a match with Bill Goldberg. People was hoping that Bill Goldberg would come out and save Randy but no Goldberg yet. Who knows? Maybe Goldberg will appear on RAW tonight. Could be a possibility.
Last night’s Summerslam ppv was awesome overall, though. I liked most matches. I liked Sasha vs. Charlotte the best and I also loved Aj Styles vs. John Cena. I used to be a John Cena hater but I’m actually starting to like him more. I have no problem with Cena now as he’s just starting to earn my respect. I’ll have another post on Cena another time.

Kurt Angle finally retired from TNA wrestling. Now it’s looking like he maybe coming back to WWE. If he is, it’s probably not for a full time run, probably part time ’cause Kurt never liked to work in wrestling full time… that was the reason why he worked for TNA in the past.
It’s looking like Kurt is finally making a WWE comeback. Kurt left WWE in 2006 so it was a long 10 year hiatus from the company. Could he be coming back? If so in what form? I think he’ll come back as a wrestler but maybe for one final match @ Wrestlemania 33 probably.
Who would Kurt feud against when he returns? I would like it if Kurt would feud with any of the new guys but it’s looking like that Kurt will come back to feud with the McMahon’s. So it’s probably gonna be Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon at WM-33? Kurt and Shane already had a match together at King of the Ring in 2001 but it be cool if they go at it again.
I like Kurt Angle. Always did. I’ve watched Kurt Angle a lot in WWE and I even watched him a lot when he was in TNA (I used to watch TNA wrestling a lot but quit watching that too).
I hope Kurt comes back ’cause that would be cool. He probably will. I miss the “You suck” chants.

Well I finished my 1 month free trial of WWE Network and to my surprise, it’s really good stuff so I think I’m gonna keep my subscription for sure. Over the past month that I’ve kept WWE Network, I’ve watched the first 16 Wrestlemania ppv’s on it. The WWE Network has every ppv they ever did on it so you can watch a lot of old school wrestling on there. Like I said, I’ve been watching all the old Wrestlemanias on there like the Wrestlemania shows in the 80’s and early 90’s. I’ve already seen all Wrestlemanias but it’s great to re-watch them all ’cause it’s fun to look back. Bring back memories of the old days of wrestling which is pretty much what “WWE Network” is here for so you can re-live the past.
I remember the old days of wrestling back in the 80’s and 90’s when wrestling used to be good. That was back in the days when they used to call it “wrestling” but currently they don’t call it “wrestling” anymore obviously.
I’m a lifelong wrestling fanatic so I think I’m definitely gonna keep “WWE Network”. It’s a nice streaming service. It’s not just a streaming service, it’s also a 24 hour wrestling channel, you can watch live TV on it too.
Last night I watched “WWE Payback” ppv on it and it was pretty good. “WWE Payback” was surprisingly a great ppv. Most every match was good on it except for the dumb McMahon segment. As for my thoughts on the wrestling business today, there are way too many new superstars I’ve never heard of before but lets just say that I’m a huge fan of AJ Styles and Kevin Owens. Those guys are awesome and we’re looking at future main eventers here. The wrestling business changes and evolves every now and then. Superstars come and go, that’s all there is to it.
I’ll always have a love and passion for the professional wrestling business. I’ll always be a fan. While Vince McMahon is a genius businessman and all, he’s just terrible at the writing part, though. Makes you wonder why RAW constantly loses ratings.
WWE Network is great stuff and if you’re a wrestling fan yourself, I’d recommend it.

… all they did was a video tribute for Chyna, that was it. The tribute video wasn’t that long and they didn’t show much on it. They didn’t even have all the RAW superstars at the top of the ramp to ring the bell either!
So I think it’s pretty obvious that Vince and Stephanie still hates Chyna.They just did the tribute video out of respect for the fans. Will they put her in the next “Hall of Fame” in 2017? I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see. You can say what you want about Chyna but she did have a lot of accomplishments in the wrestling business. She helped started the iconic wrestling group, D-X… she also helped build up the women’s division in wrestling. Without Chyna there would have never been other popular Divas such as: Stacy Keibler, Trish Stratus, Lita, etc. Chyna helped make the WWE a lot of money. She really helped the business with her storyline with Eddie Guerrero. I remember all that stuff.
Some may accuse me of being a Chyna fan just because she died but nope, not true at all. I’ve been a longtime Chyna follower long before she died. I followed everything she did in her career over the years. After she retired from wrestling, I followed all of the online stuff she did in her youtube channel. I’ve been a longtime follower. I’ve seen everything she did in WWE.
Sure, Chyna may have said some pretty hurtful things about Vince, the WWE, Stephanie and Triple H a lot over the years… I can understand why they don’t want anything to do with her, understandable but she simply wanted to make amends and apologize to those she hurt. That’s all she wanted to do, ya know? She wanted to bury the hatchet with them and leave the past behind. She no longer wanted to continue to hold grudges with them if you know what I mean.
It’s pretty crazy to me that she tried to reach out to them but they never responded until now. Really, she tried contacting them herself but they wouldn’t take her calls.
I think Vince owes us an explanation for sure. Maybe get him on a podcast show and explain to us why he shut Chyna out.
Kev
I still blame the death of Chyna on WWE all the way. My opinion still stands on that.
Read more on this well-written article on why Chyna dying was WWE’s fault…
This article said the same thing I said the other day. This article says that her real-life feud with WWE has gotten her into a depression so she started taking prescription meds because of it.
In the old days of WWE, Triple H started dating Stephanie while he was still engaged to Chyna so yeah… Triple H cheated on Chyna with Stephanie. That’s the only reason why Triple H’s career is so big right now ’cause he married the boss’s daughter. I’ve always believed that Triple H wouldn’t have gotten where he is in WWE if hadn’t married the boss’s daughter. It’s obvious, right? I mean think about it, right? Triple H is a 13 time WWE Champion. He’s always gotta be at every Wrestlemania even if he’s so-called “retired” from wrestling and now he’s the 2nd boss of WWE. Triple H is Vince McMahon’s right hand-man now.
Ya know, if Triple H married Chyna instead and if he was still married to Chyna… Triple H wouldn’t have gotten all that. It’s pretty obvious to me that the only reason Triple H married Stephanie McMahon (Vince’s daughter) is to help boost Triple H’s wrestling career and his plan worked. Honestly, I don’t think Triple H really loves Stephanie… he totally used her to boost his career. Triple H is a manipulator and would do anything to get what he wants.
Triple H claims that the reason Chyna is not in the Hall of Fame is ’cause he says that he’s worried that kids would look up her name in google and find out that she had a background in porn? Like Vince Russo said, the real reason they wouldn’t allow Chyna in the Hall of Fame is ’cause Stephanie McMahon doesn’t want Chyna in the Hall of Fame. Stephanie hates Chyna’s guts and she’s the one keeping Chyna out of the Hall of Fame. Vince McMahon is just giving Stephanie what she wants.
It’s all pretty crazy. After years of Vince, Triple H and Stephanie treating Chyna like she’s a pile of garbage… they all act nice to Chyna now that she has died? Fucking unbelievable! I thought it was pretty despicable and low of WWE. They treated Chyna like crap and now WWE finally acknowledges her after she died? It’s bullshit. All of it. Vince should feel ashamed of himself.
She tried to reach out to WWE many times, hoping to bury the hatchet but they never responded until now. Chyna should be treated with respect ’cause she really did help make WWE a lot of money. She still has a lot of fans that stuck with her even she stayed away from wrestling after all these years. She definitely did change wrestling and I think that’s the only reason why Triple H is mad at Chyna ’cause he’s jealous of her. Jealous that she changed the wrestling business and he didn’t. Gee, no wonder the WWE shut her out. Jealousy is a motherfucker ain’t it? No wonder Chyna left America for Japan.
Chyna wanted to meet with WWE hoping to resolve things and bury the hatchet but WWE wanted nothing to do with her.
I’m fed up with WWE and I think I’m about done supporting them. Not sure yet though. I’ll give them another chance. If they do a tribute show for Chyna on the next RAW and put her in the next Hall of Fame, I’ll continue to support them. If they don’t do any of those at all then it’ll be the last straw. I’ll be boycotting the WWE. I promise you that.

It’s possible that Chyna may have passed due to a drug overdose, overdosed on prescription meds probably. We don’t know yet for sure but I’m almost pretty sure that’s what happened. If you watched her videoblogs in her youtube channel, she’s acts all weird and she seems totally out of it a lot so she was definitely onto something.
Vince McMahon and Chyna may have never gotten along over the years but for a long while she’s been trying to beg for forgiveness and trying to bury the hatchet with WWE. I think her real-life feud with WWE may have sent her into a depression and became addicted to prescription meds. She also had public feuds with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. If you look up in youtube you can see plenty of videos she did lashing out at Vince, Triple H and Stephanie.
Is the reason she had so many personal problems in her life is ’cause of her feud with WWE? To be honest, I pretty much blame her passing on them and WWE should feel ashamed of themselves really. Chyna fans campaigned for her to get inducted into the Hall of Fame but the WWE never acknowledged her until now. Chyna did her best to bury the hatchet with Vince and the WWE but they never cared. Such a shame.
Vince is a douchebag and doesn’t care about anybody but himself. Hopefully Vince does the right thing and do a tribute show for her on this coming Monday’s RAW. Get her in the Hall of Fame too. If Vince does none of those then I’ll be done supporting WWE for good. I’ll boycott ’em.

I’m still bummed the Warrior is still gone ’cause he has always been one of my favorite wrestlers and he still is. I miss Warrior making his videoblogs on his youtube channel too ’cause all that was good stuff. The man was never afraid to be realistic about things. I was more a fan of the Warrior than Hulk Hogan.
Warrior never did one more match ’cause he didn’t want to mess up his legacy but at least he finally accepted the Hall of Fame, though. Warrior died too young, he was 54.
He was a talented wrestler and quite a man. All the videos he did in youtube was inspiring stuff ’cause he really helped me realize that life really is amazing and he was trying to get people to get out there and do something with your life.
Thanks, Warrior! Like he would say, always believe.

While I respect the hell out of Superstar Billy Graham, I’ll have to disagree with him on this one. Shane McMahon was willing to sacrifice himself just to put on a hell of a show. He didn’t care how hurt he was gonna get, he wanted to entertain the fans in a big way and he was willing to hurt himself in order to make it happen. Yes, wrestling is fake, scripted and a lot of moves are just acrobatic stunts but what Shane did here was pretty ballsy so I give a lot of respect for Shane for doing this move.
If you disagree with Shane on doing this risky move, why don’t you say that to Mick Foley? Mick Foley is a hardcore wrestling legend who put his life on the line many times just to put on a show. Mick Foley even lost an ear ’cause of a match he had with Vader. Mick Foley had many real life injuries just to put on a hell of a show.
After Shane’s match with the Undertaker at ‘Mania 32, I have even more respect for Shane McMahon now. Shane was willing to risk his life just to put on a show for us, he didn’t care what it took.
I think Billy Graham is just jealous of Shane ’cause Billy couldn’t do something like that.
I don’t know if Shane is really hurt ’cause of that jump but I’m pretty sure he’s beat up a little bit. Either way Shane didn’t care. Once again, he was willing to do anything to put on a show and that’s what he did it for.
I wish Shane would stick around longer but looks like his match at WM-32 is a one-off for him. He just returned part-time. Thank you, Shane, and I hope Shane does another match for us at WM-33 next year. I think next year should be Shane vs. Vince, would be cool.

A lot of people like to criticize Mr. Trump for his involvement and history with WWE. Donald Trump has had a long history with WWE that goes way back in the 80’s. Donald Trump and Vince McMahon has been very close for many years.
Whether you love Trump or hate him, you can’t deny that he is very entertaining in politics. He has a way of making us all obsessed with the guy. Why is Trump so entertaining and fun to watch? Probably because his involvement with WWE helped his political persona.
Read this interesting article. It’s actually an interesting article really. Trump’s involvement with WWE actually helped get him into politics. Trump is enjoyable and entertaining in politics ’cause he probably gets a lot of it from WWE.
A lot of haters want to believe that Trump shouldn’t be president ’cause of WWE but why not, y’all? Keep in mind that Ronald Reagan was once in the entertainment business too ’cause he was a movie star. Back in the day when Ronald Reagan was running for president, I’m sure a lot of people criticized him and said he shouldn’t be president ’cause of him being a movie star. Well if the USA can make a movie star president then the USA can make a TV star president.
Anybody can be president. It doesn’t have to be just career politicians, ya know?
