My Wrestlemania-34 predictions…

My Wrestlemania winner predictions for tonight:

WWE Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
WINNER: Roman Reigns (since Brock will be leaving WWE after)

WWE Championship: Aj Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakumura
WINNER: Nakumura will probably get this one. Should be a great match, though.

Mixed Tag Match: Ronda Rousey/Kurt Angle vs. Triple H/Steph
WINNER: Ronda Rousey/Kurt Angle. No way they’ll make Ronda lose on her debut match. This match will probably end with Ronda giving Steph the arm bar and she taps out.

Daniel Bryan/Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn
WINNER: I’m going to go with Owens/Zayn on this one. They’ll figure out a way to cheat again.

WWE Intercontinental Champ Triple Threat match: The Miz (c) vs. Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins
WINNER: Gonna go with Seth Rollins on this one. Time for Seth to get a huge push that he deserves.

WWE RAW Tag Team Championship: The Bar (c) vs. Braun Strowman and mystery partner
WINNER: I think the Bar will retain.

WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers
WINNER: I predict the Bludgeon Brothers are gonna get this one. Should be a real good match, though.

WWE RAW Women’s Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Nia Jax
WINNER: I predict Nia is gonna get this one. People will think Alexa will retain but it’s looking like Nia will get a huge push.

WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship: Charlotte (c) vs. Asuka
WINNER: I think Asuka will become the new SD Champ ’cause no way WWE will make her lose her undefeated streak on her WM debut.

WWE US Championship Fatal 4 Way: Randy Orton (c) vs. Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Rusev
WINNER: I’m thinking Rusev is gonna get this one but Jinder Mahal could end up winning too. I guess it’s a tie between Mahal and Rusev.

Undertaker vs. John Cena (if it ends up happening tonight and probably will):
WINNER: Undertaker will get the win definitely.

Enjoy! Lets see how many I got right and how many I got wrong!

Will we see any surprise returns at WM-34 tonight? Yeah, I think we’re definitely gonna see a few… lets see…

Hulk Hogan? Maybe. Jeff Hardy? Definitely. Rey Mysterio? Definitely. Chris Jericho? Maybe. Samoa Joe? Definitely. Big Cass? Definitely.

I’m sure we’ll get a few shockers tonight. We’ll have to wait and see.

Hope it’s a good show.

Is Hulk Hogan in talks with WWE to return? Rumors are now swirling…

Rumors are swirling around the internets that wrestling legend, Hulk Hogan is in talks with WWE so he can return to the company. In the past, WWE fired Hogan due to all the sex tape controversy and his battle with Gawker, but now that stuff is all over and done with it looks like Hulk and WWE are back on good terms again.

https://www.wrestlingnewssource.com/news/51311/WWE-Confirm-They-Are-In-Talks-With-Hulk-Hogan/

Hulk Hogan himself hasn’t confirmed the news on his twitter yet, so it’s a clue that he’s keeping his possible upcoming return to WWE a secret. If true, it looks like the WWE wants him in time before WM-34 in a few weeks.

I think there’s a good chance of it being true and Hulk will probably return to the company this year. Will he be at WM-34? Probably. I think he’ll be a WM guest host just like he was guest host for Wrestlemania 30.

Hogan says he wants to have one more match in WWE and I agree, he should have one more. If he did have one more match in WWE sometime soon, who would it be? Well I saw a Q & A video with Hulk Hogan himself and he says he wants his last match to be against Braun Strowman and I agree. That would be a great final match for Hulk.

Also, John Cena vs. Hulk Hogan needs to happen ’cause that’s a dream match that never happened in the past. Maybe Hogan can have a rematch with Vince McMahon ’cause I can see that happening for sure. Is Hogan coming back for one more match? Probably but I hope he wrestles more.

All the haters aren’t liking this idea of Hogan returning but hey, admit it. We all watch pro wrestling ’cause of Hulk Hogan and it’s strange how no one will admit that. Love him or hate him all you want to, Hogan is a wrestling icon and pioneer. He popularized the wrestling business. Without him, there would have been no WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH and all those independent wrestling companies. Like I said before, I used to hate Hogan in the past but I don’t anymore. He won my utmost respect back again.

I’ve been watching a lot of old WCW Monday Nitro on the WWE Network. I’m 51 episodes in and loving every bit of it. We wouldn’t get pro wrestling on TV if it wasn’t for Hogan, remember that. I’m a huge fan of Hogan now. He really is a pro wrestling genius and I think he deserves more respect.

Kev

Does The Undertaker vs. John Cena deserve to happen?

For Wrestlemania this year, it’s definitely looking like that the Undertaker vs. John Cena is gonna happen. It probably will happen ’cause a Cena vs. ‘Taker feud has already started on RAW. Cena just started challenging ‘Taker. Ya know, this match I think needs to happen ’cause a Cena vs. ‘Taker match has never happened at a Wrestlemania believe it or not! It’s true! I think a match like that is about to come to a reality.

I used to hate John Cena, but I don’t anymore. My respect for Cena grew pretty slowly over the years but now my respect for him is immense. Love him or hate him, Cena is a work horse in the business. The man works hard. He’s one guy that works in WWE on a full time basis all year round. He does take time off here and there but not much. He’s a hard worker and good performer. He’s also a good wrestler. Many wrestling fans refuses to admit that Cena has put on a lot of exciting and thrilling matches at Wrestlemania over the years.

Many wrestling fans don’t want ‘Taker vs. Cena to happen, but I think it’s a match that deserves to happen. No doubt that ‘Taker and Cena will bring the house down and put on a very exciting match. Undertaker matches are always very exciting. I’m not ashamed to admit that Cena is becoming a favorite of mine. I think ‘Taker and Cena will put on a brilliant match together, and it will probably end up being one of the best matches on the WM-34  card.

Who will end up winning the ‘Taker vs. Cena match? Probably ‘Taker. Remember, ‘Taker lost his WM streak to Brock Lesnar at WM-30 and ‘Taker lost again to Roman Reigns at WM-33 last year. Since ‘Taker lost a WM last year, I think WWE will make him win again so the fans can be happy ’cause fans were upset when he lost to Reigns. Was that ‘Taker’s last match with Reigns? I don’t think so… I think ‘Taker has some more wrestling in him left. I think ‘Taker will have his last match with Cena and win that one so ‘Taker can have his last match as his winning match.

What is the WM-34 card looking like so far? Well as far as I know there are two matches confirmed already: “Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for Universal Title” and “Aj Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakumura for the WWE Title”.

I’m looking forward to Wrestlemania this year as always. I watch it every year and thanks to WWE Network, it gave me the opportunity to watch every single one. I hope this year’s card is gonna be a good one!

Happy Birthday, Ric Flair!!!

RicFlairRoyalRumb92.jpg

Ric Flair is one of the reasons I watch professional wrestling. I’ll never forget the night when I witnessed Flair winning the WWE Championship for the first time at the Royal Rumble 1992 which took place at the Knickerbocker Arena (now the venue is called “The Times Union Center) in Albany, N.Y.. I was there that night at the Rumble ’92 ppv. I didn’t get very good seats; I remember sitting at the very top, but I could still see the ring pretty well from way up there.

The Rumble ’92 was indeed one of the greatest Rumble ppvs in the history of wrestling. I’ll never forget that night ever and I was fortunate enough to be there to watch it live in person. I got to see so many legends that night I remember… Hulk Hogan, Jake the Snake, The Undertaker, Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart, Rick Martel, Mr. Perfect, Tito Santana, Roddy Piper, Sid Justice, The Macho Man, Greg The Hammer Valentine, Big Bossman, The Legion of Doom, Jimmy Snuka, etc. That was such an incredible night — I still remember it like it was yesterday. I still like to re-watch the Royal Rumble 1992 every now and then

I respect Flair so much. He has done so much for the wrestling business over the years. Ric has worked for pretty much all wrestling companies. He went through the AWA, the WWF/WWE, WCW and TNA Impact. The only company he didn’t work for was ECW obviously. My respect for Flair is pretty immense.

Thanks Ric for all you do.

Do women deserve to main event more in the WWE? Oh yes, absolutely they do!

In the wrestling community, there have been a lot of complaints from wrestling fans about the Women’s Rumble being the main event at the Royal Rumble 2018. I look at all their complaints about this and I’m like, why? I thought the Women’s Rumble was fucking awesome and entertaining as hell. I thought the ladies of WWE did a phenomenal job as I had a blast watching the Women’s Rumble matchup. The match was a mix of current female superstars and past superstars. Of course, this is gonna upset many male fans.

I thought it was a good idea to have the Women’s Rumble as the main event. It gave them an opportunity to main event like the male superstars. In my eyes, I believe that was the very first women’s main event in WWE ’cause I don’t think women has ever main evented in the WWE before. Maybe this is why some guys are pissed ’cause they aren’t used to something like this.

When Dana White finally started accepting women to fight in the UFC, of course, that’s gonna upset the male UFC fan base. It took them a while to get used to it and now it seems like they have no problem with women in UFC anymore. I mean, think about it… if UFC can have women main eventing ppvs then why can’t women do the same in WWE?

The Royal Rumble won’t be the only ppv where you’ll see the women’s division in the  main event. There will be many more ppvs coming up where you’ll see women in the main event. Honestly, I think it’s a good idea and it’s a good thing they’re doing. The women’s division is getting much bigger in WWE and getting more attention, so it’s no surprise to see that the WWE will start having women in the main event.

I do like today’s women’s division in the WWE ’cause they do true wrestling. Right now my favorite females in today’s WWE are Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Alexa Bliss and Ruby Riott. I also love Billie Kay but she’s in NXT.

They really do deserve to be in big main events ’cause why? Simply because these new women in WWE are becoming more recognizable stars and they are getting bigger. Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair are the most popular right now. Asuka is of course, very popular too.

It’s interesting how a lot of guys in the wrestling community are not happy with this new “women’s revolution” Stephanie McMahon has got going. This was actually all Triple H’s idea. He was the one who came up with the idea of women main eventing in WWE more. They do deserve the same spotlight that the male superstars gets.

Why is it that men are so hateful and negative over women these days? Jealousy is the only reason I can think of. Give the ladies a chance and don’t be so quick to judge. You’ll soon see why they deserve to main event more.

Royal Rumble last night… a review…

So last night, I watched the Royal Rumble. I had no interest in watching the Grammy Awards last night so I skipped it and watched the Rumble instead which was a lot better. I thought it was a pretty damn good Rumble ppv but could have been better. The best matches of the night were the Men’s Rumble and the Women’s Rumble, but the rest of it was too predictable. Most of the ppv was predictable when it comes to the winner but one thing that had unexpected surprises was the Men’s Rumble.

When it comes to the Men’s Rumble match, everybody was expecting either Cena Or Reigns to win. Most every thought Reigns was gonna win the whole thing but the winner turned out to be someone else surprisingly. That winner is a Japanese wrestler by the name of Shinsuke Nakamura. He won the Rumble last night which was actually pretty shocking and unexpecting. WWE did something right for once by giving the Men’s Rumble winner to Nakamura ’cause it’s well deserving and that guy is very talented. So looks like it’s gonna be Nakamura vs. AJ Styles @ WM-34 for the WWE Championship.

They did that ’cause it looks like WWE still wants Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for ‘Mania 34 and they’ll figure out a way to make it happen still.

During the Men’s Rumble, there were a few surprise one-off returns of past superstars. Rey Mysterio and The Hurricane both made an appearance during the Rumble. I’m sure they’re not back in the WWE full time, just a one-off but it was still awesome to see them, though! That’s all we got in the Men’s rumble when it comes to surprise entrants, just Mysterio and Hurricane Helms. We didn’t get the Undertaker, the Rock, Hulk Hogan, Sting, etc. None of those guys.

As far as the first ever Women’s Rumble goes, I thought it was surprisingly good even though we all knew Asuka would probably win that one and she did. It was still a fun and exciting as hell match. A lot of past female superstars came back as one-offs during the match: Trish Stratus, Lita, Michelle McCool, Jacqueline, Vickie Guerrero, Kelly Kelly, Molly Holly and a few others. I thought the women did a good job. I know the wrestling fans are getting all mad ’cause they’re not gonna like women main eventing a big ppv but hey, I think the women deserve this. In the past, women didn’t get to main event much and I think they finally deserve to.

After the women’s Rumble got over with, we got another big surprise that Ronda Rousey suddenly showed up. She showed up paying tribute to Roddy Piper as you can see in the pic below:

Yes, that is really Roddy Pipers jacket she’s wearing. I’ve read somewhere that Ronda is gonna be working for WWE on a full time schedule. She signed a full-time contract so she’s definitely not a one-off. She’ll be a part of the new women’s division now. I’m not a big fan of Ronda’s liberal politics but I’m still a fan of her. I’ve always liked Ronda and think she’ll be good for WWE. Ronda paid tribute to Piper ’cause she’s not just a fan, her and Piper were lifelong best friends. So this means we have two former UFC stars in WWE now. Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey which is cool, in my opinion. Ronda is already getting a lot of haters of her being in WWE now, but give her a chance. Don’t be so quick to judge. She’s new and I think she’s gonna have a great run.

Headlining main event for WM-34 this year: Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns for Universal Championship???

Tomorrow night is the big Royal Rumble ppv and yes, of course I’ll be watching it on the WWE Network tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. WWE just announced that Roman Reigns will be an entrant in the Rumble tomorrow which is no surprise really. I don’t know why so many wrestling fans hate Roman Reigns ’cause he’s my favorite right now. Reigns is a good wrestler and puts on exciting as hell matches, so I don’t understand the hate? Oh well. Haters are gonna hate, huh?

The Road to WrestleMania always begins on the Royal Rumble ppv every year. That’s when the WWE will start putting together the card for WM-34 later this year. On the WWE Network, I have watched every WrestleMania and Royal Rumble ppv on it. What will the card for this year’s WrestleMania be like? I’m not sure yet but I am predicting that the headlining main event for this year’s ‘mania will probably be Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal title.

I predict Brock Lesnar will lose the Universal Champ to Braun Strowman tomorrow night for that Triple Threat match they have with Kane. There’s a lot of talk that Lesnar is leaving the WWE again ’cause it looks like he’s making another come back to UFC so Lesnar to lose Universal Title tomorrow? I think Strowman is gonna win that match and get the Universal title finally.

Roman Reigns just lost the USA Title not too long ago and now it’s official that he’s in the Rumble, it got me thinking that Reigns is probably gonna win the 30 man rumble match, so he can go on to headline WrestleMania. Reigns headlined the past 3 Wrestlemanias in a row and he’ll probably headline WrestleMania again this year. Strowman will win title tomorrow and will keep it ’til WM-34 ’cause Reigns will take it from him. That’s what I think the main event for this year’s WrestleMania will be.

I could be wrong on this prediction, though. I wouldn’t be surprised the WM-34 main event will end up being Lesnar vs. Reigns, but we’ll see how it goes.

What will the other matches on the ‘mania card look like? Well Triple H vs. Kurt Angle is pretty likely. Chris Jericho vs. Elias might look like will happen. AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura. Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt for sure. Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss (w/Ronda Rousey being involved somehow). John Cena vs. Samoa Joe.

Shane McMahon will probably be in a match this year again but who knows who.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to the Rumble tomorrow night. Hopefully, the WWE will give us a few surprise return entrants this time ’cause they gave us nothing last year. Maybe Hulk Hogan will make a surprise entrant at the Rumble, who knows? Maybe the Rock will be a surprise entrant. I doubt it but ya never know. It’s WWE. They’re always in for surprises.

As far the first Women’s Rumble match goes, I predict Asuka will probably win that one. It’s probably gonna end up happening.

Yes, Hulk Hogan got in trouble for using the N word and saying other racist things on the sex tape but he’s no racist, get over it…

It’s interesting how people never “forgive” and don’t get over things. Some never do which to me is pathetic. When it comes to Hulk Hogan not being at RAW 25, WWE is sticking to their guns and vowing to never allow Hogan back to the company. Well I think they need to learn to get over it.

Many in the wrestling community have already forgiven Hogan, but of course, there’s this other half that haven’t forgiven and there are still wrestling fans out there who still despise the man.

Yeah, Hulk Hogan said some pretty racist things on a sex tape… I’m not afraid to admit that, but he’s definitely not a racist, though. Don’t judge the book by its cover. When Hulk said those things, I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean it ’cause he was going through some pretty rough times in his life. I mean, think about it… Hulk was going through Nick’s car crash which killed another guy and Hulk had to deal with all kinds of legal bullshit through that. Then he was going through a heated divorce with his ex-wife Linda.

I remember before Roddy Piper died, he defended Hulk Hogan and said he’s no racist.

http://www.tmz.com/2015/07/27/rowdy-roddy-piper-hulk-hogan-n-word-racist-nick-hogan-crash/

Now Diamond Dallas Page is defending Hulk Hogan and says he’s no racist.

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0124/636277/diamond-dallas-page-on-if-wwe-should-bring-back-hulk-hogan/

I agree that Hulk doesn’t have a racist bone in his body at all ’cause he’s a very popular wrestler in the black community. He’s got a lot of black fans for sure and he proved that on his twitter page. If Hulk was really racist then he wouldn’t have been a tag team partner with Mr. T back in the old days. I remember Hulk and Mr. T used to be best friends… not sure if they still are now.

Sometimes when you’re going through some tough times in your life, you make mistakes. Everybody makes them. Hulk Hogan is human… he’s real like all of us. I wish people would stop negatively judging the man.

It’s been proven through court that Gawker was set out to make Hogan look bad and they were desperate to destroy him. I know I sided with Gawker before admittedly but what I saw in that trial, my opinions and views on this started to change. I began to see that Hogan is innocent after all. Hogan won the Gawker battle and proved that they tried to bring him down.

There IS something called “forgive” and “forget”. If we can do it then so can WWE. I think WWE will bring Hogan back, maybe they need more time to think about it. I hope they bring him back ’cause love him or hate him, Hogan’s a wrestling legend. WWE can try to ignore the man all they want, but you can’t take his legacy away. Hogan helped popularized professional wrestling. He was the one who helped turn the WWF/WWE into a big industry.

I don’t know why Hogan has so much hatred. I used to hate him admittedly but I felt bad about it and I don’t hate him anymore. He won my respect back. He’s not a bad man at all if you give him a chance. He’s very good with his fans too. Look at his twitter and social networking for proof on that. He replied to me on twitter a few times.

People just hate him out of jealousy, in my opinion and that’s the end of it. Jealous of him that he’s a wrestling Icon. They just want to be him. Sad thing is that the haters will never admit that they watch wrestling ’cause of Hogan. I know I watch ’cause of him. He was a hero of mine when I was a kid.

Fuck Gawker. I’m glad they are gone and that’s why Hogan won my respect back right there. I hope WWE patches things up with Hogan someday and I think they will. WWE already buried the hatchet with Bret Hart over the Montreal Screwjob angle and it took a long time for them to do that too.

Thoughts on RAW’s 25th Anniversary show last night, a review…

I’ve been watching Monday Night RAW for many years. I’ve been watching them from the very beginning anyways. RAW made it’s debut on cable TV on Jan. 11th 1993 and been on the air since then so technically it’s been 22 years. Not sure why they’ve been promoting it as 25 years. Oh well, I guess it’s just their sneaky little way of promoting the company. WWE has been hyping this show for months… the plan was to bring back a bunch of legends from the past who helped make RAW for what it is. Pretty much most of RAW’s recognizable faces were there last night. Everybody was there except there were a bunch of snubs and I’ll talk about that later on in this post.

Anyways, I thought it was an excellent show all the way through and I did feel nostalgic. Brought back a lot of memories over the years. I remember all the flashbacks from RAW’s older days and I remember every legend that appeared. This show was definitely one of the best RAW episodes I’ve seen in a long time.

I thought the best segments from last night were “The McMahons and Stone Cold” segment which started the show, The Dudley Boys appearance and the backstage segment with Chris Jericho and Elias. The rest of the show was real good but those three I mentioned were my favorite from last night.

As far as the McMahons and Stone Cold segment, it was just like the old days. Like I said before, the McMahon vs. Stone Cold feud was a very important part of RAW’s history. I had a feeling we’ll see some of that again and we did. It was refreshing to see heel Mr. McMahon back ’cause I don’t like McMahon as the good guy/baby face. I think he’s way more entertaining as the evil owner of WWE and he still killed it as the bad guy. Vince knows how to get the crowd to boo him for sure and did a good job of that last night. The evil Vince was a big part of RAW in the 90’s and up. Later in the years, though, Vince retired the heel Mr. McMahon character and went baby face. Last night, we just saw the return of heel McMahon which was great. Stone Cold giving the McMahons a stunner like the old days. Remember the old days during the Attitude Era when Stone Cold was feuding with the Corporation?

As far as the Dudleys appearance goes, they are my favorite tag team of all time. They really are one of my top 5 favorites. They were amazing last night. When they came out on the ramp, the crowd went wild. When the Dudleys used to be around, they always put on exciting as hell matches.

I’m glad to see Chris Jericho back even though his segment with Elias was very short, but it was still entertaining as hell. Hopefully Chris Jericho will be an entrant at the Rumble this Sunday and hopefully he’ll have a match at WrestleMania too. Jericho has always been my favorite.

The rest of the show was real good too. The backstage poker segment with APA, current superstars and the Million Dollar Man was entertaining as hell. I also liked the D Generation X segment toward the end.

As far as Hulk Hogan not being there goes… AJ Styles did do a Hulk Hogan impression during the Mean Gene Okerlund segment so at least WWE gave Hogan an acknowledgement. So does that mean, the WWE and Hogan real life feud is over? They’re on good terms again? I doubt it ’cause WWE is sticking with their guns on Hogan being fired from the company. They don’t want him back at all. Styles did that Hogan impression to keep the fans happy and that’s it. Apparently, WWE and Vince McMahon are still upset at Hulk over the Gawker/sex tape controversy. Well, they need to get over it already and forgive Hulk. Most of us wrestling fans have already forgiven Hulk since he was proven innocent and WWE should forgive him too. I think they will. They just need more time, I guess. I think Hogan will be back in time before the next WrestleMania hopefully.

As far as legends appearing goes, was there any big snubs? Yes, WWE ignored plenty. Many of RAW’s important superstars should have made an appearance like: Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Bret Hart, Ken Shamrock, Hardcore Holly, Val Venis, Stevie Richards, Molly Holly, Hurricane Helms, Diamond Dallas Page, Jake the Snake Roberts, Mick Foley, Vickie Guerrero, Edge, etc. Too many to list.

Why didn’t many of them show? They either couldn’t make it or wasn’t invited by WWE. I’m sure WWE wanted the Rock and they probably tried to ask him, but the Rock has a busy schedule with his movie career and stuff. I think the Rock will make another comeback before WrestleMania this year, though. He’ll be at WrestleMania again, I’m sure.

Looking forward to the Rumble this Sunday, but I have a feeling this Sunday’s Rumble ppv will be pretty disappointing as usual but hopefully it’ll be good. I’m definitely gonna watch it ’cause I saw every Rumble ppv over the years and usually watch it every year. The road to WrestleMania always begins at the Rumble. Hopefully the WrestleMania card will be good this year.

Anyway, what’s interesting about RAW 25 last night was that show gave an opportunity for the new roster a chance to perform with the legends which was special.

Last night was a great show and I’m sure it did well in the ratings. Many ex-wrestling fans who gave up watching RAW long ago probably watched it last night.

When it comes to professional wrestlers having problems and people judging them…

https://twitter.com/worshiprollins/status/953394578564046848

This is an awesome tweet that just came up on my twitter feed. Yeah, I do talk wrestling with some other fans on twitter which is awesome. This is probably the best tweet I’ve seen about wrestlers having personal problems and things like that. The tweet is so true, though.

Wrestlers really are human like the rest of us. On TV, they may seem like fictional characters but off TV, they are different. They are human. They talk like us, they eat like us, they have problems like us and they make mistakes like us. Yes, wrestlers have had problems with drugs and alcohol over the years. Wrestlers have had problems with sex tapes getting leaked. They’ve also have had problems with their significant others and spouses. Ya know what? This is something that is called “life”. Life is never gonna be perfect for everyone and the same goes for professional wrestlers. When someone becomes a professional wrestler, you would think that person’s life is all perfect and glamorous but not really. In real life, you would see that the wrestler are just normal people like us.

When wrestlers have problems, wrestling fans in the community would start negatively judging them. For example, stars like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Paige and many others. Hulk Hogan is mostly judged than the rest of them and I find it unfair. Yes, admittedly I had a hand in badly judging Hogan for his problems outside of the ring but I’m done with that. Hulk is actually a very good man in real life, he just gets a lot of bad press. People negatively judge Ric Flair for his problems too. It’s crazy, ya know? People also judged Scott Hall for his alcoholism. Before Chyna passed away, people also judged her pretty badly.

With me, I try not to judge people for their problems. I just do my best by giving them love and prayers. That’s the best you can do, ya know?

When it comes to Hulk Hogan, a lot of times I felt sorry for the guy. He doesn’t deserve all this bad publicity ’cause that man is a wrestling legend. You can hate him or love him all you want to. That fact will never change. Hulk is a wrestling pioneer. Admittedly, I used to hate Hulk Hogan but I don’t anymore. You can’t hate someone forever, ya know?

When will fans stop judging wrestlers for their issues? Each time something happens to a wrestler in his/her personal life, it’s all over the wrestling news sites for the world to see. It’s sad. Sometimes this stuff makes the national news like all the stuff with Hulk Hogan and Gawker.

I think people need to show wrestlers respect ’cause they give us all this entertainment. Without them, the wrestling industry wouldn’t survive today.
