Hulk Hogan deserves to get respect back and he deserves another chance with WWE, come on Vince!!!

Leave a comment

 

Like everyone else, Hulk Hogan got me into watching professional wrestling; I grew up watching him when I was a kid. As I got older, I lost a lot of respect for the man ’cause I used to believe that he was this big egomaniac who loved to destroy other wrestlers careers and things like that. As years went along, Hulk has been surrounded by a lot of controversy like with the Linda Hogan divorce, the Nick Hogan car crash and next here comes the Gawker sex tape incident.

I used to believe that Hulk Hogan was a piece of shit, but I don’t hate him anymore. Why? Not sure. Guess, I’ve had a change of heart after realizing he really was innocent over all this Gawker stuff. I know I’ve bashed him a lot on my blog but no more.

Whether you love Hulk or hate him, you can’t deny that he really is the Babe Ruth of professional wrestling. Hulk didn’t start the wrestling business, but he definitely did help make it more well-known and famous. Without Hulk, we all wouldn’t have been wrestling fans to begin with; we’re wrestling fans ’cause of him. It’s just sad that his haters will never admit that. There are other professional wrestlers that hate him too, and they don’t realize that they wrestle in the business ’cause of him. There’s no denying that Hulk is a pioneer in wrestling for sure.

Last night on FOX News, I watched the Hulk Hogan special titled,  Objectified, which is a show hosted by TMZ’s Harvey Levin. I’m not a TMZ fan. Never did like them but I thought Harvey Levin did a great job interviewing Hulk Hogan on that show. It was a great show. I enjoyed it a lot. I have even more respect for Hulk now, and he just won my respect back. Like I said, I used to believe that Hulk was this huge egomaniac, but after watching Objectified last night, I was surprised on how humble the man was. Instead of playing innocent victim of his mistakes, he admitted his mistakes and said he wasn’t perfect and all. To those who hate him ’cause of his problems, you need to get over yourselves. Hulk Hogan is human like the rest of us; he showed that he was human on the show last night. All of us are screwed up and messed up in life in some form of another, right? We all go through ups and downs like him.

I’m inspired by Hulk ’cause he keeps going in life despite all the back surgeries he had. I have scoliosis with a metal rod in my back, and Hulk said he has all kinds of metal all over his back too. Despite Hulk’s back issues, he keeps working out in the gym like me. His show last night with Harvey Levin was inspiring. I’ve realized after all these years that Hulk Hogan is actually a very good man. He loves his fans and he’s good with them so why the hate? To all the other wrestlers and fans who hate on him are just bitter and jealous, nothing more. I think other wrestlers who hate on him just wished they had the kind of legacy Hulk has in wrestling.

So does Hulk Hogan deserve another chance in the WWE after being fired ’cause of the Gawker controversy? Absolutely! He does deserve another chance. Vince and Hulk needs to patch things up so Hulk can return to WWE. Hulk deserves one more match. If not to wrestle then Hulk would make a good GM for RAW or Smackdown Live. I remember when Hulk was GM for Impact Wrestling and thought he did a good job. Love him or hate him, Hulk is a legend. You can fire him from WWE, you can take him out of the Hall of Fame, but the one thing you can’t take away is his legacy in the wrestling business. You can’t change history. Hulk had a lot of great matches and a lot of history in wrestling over the years. Admittedly, I grew up watching Hulk  throughout my life.

I definitely would love to go down to Florida, visit his Beach Shop store and hopefully get my chance to meet the man myself ’cause that would be cool. Hulk deserves another chance and forgiveness by WWE and wrestling fans. I believe in “forgive” and “forget” don’t you? I definitely do! Life is too short to hate.

Is Asuka finally on her way to main roster in WWE????

Leave a comment

WWE NXT superstar, Asuka has been performing in NXT for a few years now. I think she made her NXT debut in 2016 and ever since then, she’s been sparking a lot of buzz and getting so much popularity this soon. Why? Simply because she’s an amazing performer and wrestler. She’s been an undefeated NXT Women’s champion for a long while and now she’s given up the belt.

http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwenxt/article/asuka-relinquishes-nxt-womens-title

Why? This is a huge sign that WWE is finally moving her to the main roster. Very soon, I think we’re gonna see her either on RAW or Smackdown Live. Asuka is gonna be a big star in WWE, she’s also Wrestlemania bound for sure.

I’m trying to watch more NXT just for her. If they put her on Smackdown Live, I’ll watch SD Live just for her but I hope they put her on Monday Night RAW, though. I want to see her have matches against Sasha Banks, Nia Jax and Bayley.

When WWE do move Asuka to the main roster, I hope they don’t change her theme song as heard above ’cause the theme song suits her perfectly.

This is how WWE decides their superstars for the main roster; that’s what they use NXT for. Any stars on NXT that sparks a lot of popularity, they get moved to the main roster… this is how WWE is finding all the new stars. NXT is where guys like Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, etc. all came from.

To all you wrestling fans reading this blog, you’re gonna love Asuka trust me. Most WWE Divas can’t wrestle… most women wrestlers pull hair and slap each other but Asuka can actually wrestle. She’s impressive in the ring. She reminds me of the Ultimate Warrior a little bit.

Can’t wait to see Asuka on the main roster… she’s gonna get popularity real fast.

10 reasons why you should enjoy watching professional wrestling…

Leave a comment

In celebration of Vince McMahon’s birthday, I said I would make a post like this so here we go.

Yeah, I know the wrestling business gets all kinds of negative criticism by people over the years. The professional wrestling business is a thing that you either love or hate. Many still don’t like the wrestling industry for a few reasons… first of all, they don’t like it ’cause it’s fake and all. Yeah I know wrestling is fake; I just watch it ’cause it’s fun. Secondly, many thinks it’s kind of gay to watch half naked dudes all over each other. Thirdly, many don’t watch it ’cause wrestling can get dark & controversial at times and lastly, many don’t watch it ’cause of the scantly clad women in professional wrestling (like women showing too much skin and too much cleavage, WWE doesn’t show that stuff with women anymore but they did in the past).

One more reason, I forgot to name that people don’t like wrestling is ’cause of all the wrestler deaths over the drugs and stuff and especially the Chris Benoit tragedy.

10 reasons to enjoy professional wrestling is here:

  • Pro wrestling is like theatre almost: Wrestling really is like theatre almost. A lot of wrestling shows are pretty theatrical. The ring-entrances and the storylines. All that is acting kind of like a theatre play. That’s exactly what pro wrestling is.
  • Wrestling matches can be entertaining and fun to watch: People think it’s gay to watch half naked dudes get all over each other? Please! It took many years of training to get where they are today. They don’t become pros over night. If you actually watch a wrestling match, they can be a blast to watch. Don’t knock it until you see it for yourself.
  • Wrestling is like a TV soap opera or a movie: I know a lot of you like to watch TV shows and movies well professional wrestling is kind of like the same thing technically. You can enjoy watching wrestling just like you do with TV shows and movies.
  • Wrestlers can deliver fun promos (or speeches in the ring): In wrestling, you not only have to have the good wrestling skills, you also gotta have good speaking skills. Gotta have the good speaking skills to entertain a crowd and many wrestlers do deliver great promos over the years.
  • Wrestlers work hard to entertain people around the world: People should respect the wrestling business for this reason ’cause companies like the WWE and TNA really do work hard to entertain people. They took a lot of sacrifices to do what they do. They do it ’cause they love it. How can you not be proud of them for that? Instead they get criticized for trying to put smiles on people’s faces which is what they do it for. These guys are always on the road year-round, travelling and performing shows all over. Pretty ballsy what they do.
  • Wrestling are perfect to take your kids to watch live shows: I remember getting into wrestling when I was kid in the 80’s and 90’s. Still am loyal to pro wrestling today. I never grew out of it. You should respect the wrestling business ’cause they provide entertainment for young children and that’s another reason they’re here for. You never watched pro wrestling in your life? Take your kids to a wrestling show and you would be surprised to see how much fun they’re having.
  • Being a part of the wrestling community and fanbase is a cool thing: Another cool thing about enjoying wrestling is ’cause well, the fanbase and wrestling community on the internet and in the real world. There are wrestling fanatics all over the place and I enjoy talking about “wrestling” with other fans. The wrestling community is the best part about it; however, though… I enjoy talking wrestling with the “smart fans” more. Talking with the “marks” is annoying ’cause they believe wrestling is real. Finding “smart fans” is tough but they’re out there.
  • The wrestling characters & gimmicks: This is the best part of the wrestling business is all the characters & gimmicks the business created over the years most notably… stars like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, The Rock, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, etc. There are a lot of new recognizable stars today like Bray Wyatt, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, etc. It’s the characters and gimmicks that keep wrestling fun.
  • Wrestlers are likeable people in real life: In the ring, wrestlers maybe playing good guys & bad guys but out of the ring, they’re just regular people like us. A lot of wrestlers are very nice, down to earth and good with the fans ’cause why? The answer is simple really… wrestlers are very good with people and fans ’cause that’s why they do what they do. They perform for us. They perform to make us happy. That alone is worthy enough to support the wrestling business ’cause they love people.

Well, that’s about all I could think. Hope you enjoy the read.

Today is Vince McMahon’s 72nd birthday, thank you Vince for the entertainment and wrestling…

Leave a comment

Happy birthday, Vince McMahon who just turned 72 today. Whether you like the wrestling business or not, you gotta respect this man. He worked very hard to bring WWE to where it is today. I respect this man so much. We all do. We wouldn’t have been wrestling fans if it wasn’t for this guy.

To all you parents out there who enjoys taking your kids to live WWE shows, you should thank Vince for that ’cause he did all that. Us wrestling fans not only respect the hell out of Vince ’cause he’s a good performer in which he definitely is, we respect him so much ’cause he gave us wrestling. Period. End of story.

The WWE is still strong and becoming a much stronger company. Vince did that all himself and took him over 30 years to do it. Love him or hate him, he knows how to put on a fucking show. We all love Vince. He’s a hero to the wrestling community.

Thank you, Vince.

Summerslam last night was surprisingly a pretty damn good ppv, it had one of the best main events I’ve seen in a long time…

Leave a comment

So I was pretty skeptical of Summerslam this year. I was watching it all evening last night and I was extremely surprised by the ppv. It turned out really good after all! I enjoyed pretty much every match but the best matches I’ve seen last night were: Finn Balor aka The Demon King vs. Bray Wyatt, Natalya vs. Naomi and the main event which was the Fatal 4 Way for the Universal Champ. All three of those matches  actually had some pretty exciting wrestling. You see, Vince? That’s what we all want to see!!! Good wrestling! All three of those matches had that pretty much.

Finn Balor is becoming one of my favorite new performers right now and so is Braun Strowman. That Strowman guy is a fuckin’ bad ass for sure. While I do think it’s annoying as fuck that Vince McMahon has a huge big man fetish, I think Braun Strowman is one of the best big man performers we’ve had in a while. I think that Strowman guy is gonna be something special. Most big man wrestlers are pretty boring as hell in the ring but that Strowman guy, wow…. he keeps things entertaining as hell in the ring. Braun Strowman, we’re looking at a future icon here… this guy could be bigger than the Rock, Stone Cold and Hogan.

I was skeptical of the main event which was the “Fatal 4 Way” for the Universal Champ: Brock Lesnar (current champ) vs. Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe. I was expecting that match to be boring as hell but it turned out to be pretty thrilling and exciting. Lesnar won that match, of course and he retained the champ.  There’s already a lot of calls from wrestling fans that they all want Strowman the chance to get the title and I agree. I do agree Strowman deserves a chance… right now it’s not the time ’cause I feel it’s too early. They still need to build Strowman up some more. He’s already becoming a popular baby face but he needs more. I was real surprised of that match, though and I want to watch it again. Is hardcore wrestling back? It seems so!

Good job. WWE! Yeah, I’m a pretty big fan of wrestling. Have been for my whole life and don’t feel ashamed for it. It was a good ppv last night. I did watch NXT Takeover ppv as well the night before “Summerslam” and that was real good too. I just love to watch wrestling. Yeah, I know it’s fake… I’m not stupid but I just watch it ’cause I respect what those guys do. They work hard to entertain people. Give their blood, sweat and tears so that’s why I pretty much support the wrestling business. I’m about to make another post on why the wrestling business should be respected ’cause I know they get a lot of criticism over the years.

No matter what your thoughts are on the Trump beating up CNN wrestling gif, it’s good publicity for WWE and I’m sure Vince is happy.

Leave a comment

Yesterday, Trump posted a WWE gif that got the internet going crazy. As the title of this topic says, no matter what your thoughts on the WWE gif that Trump posted on twitter, it’s good publicity for WWE on both sides of the spectrum. Trump got the right and the left talking about WWE. In other words, Trump  just gave WWE a pretty big shout out yesterday.

To those of you that don’t know, Trump and Vince McMahon has a long history together. They go way back so they’ve been friends for a long time. Back in the 80’s, Trump had a few Wrestlemania events at Trump Plaza a long time ago in Atlantic City. Trump has always been supportive of WWE and the wrestling business. That’s why Donald Trump got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and it’s why Trump got the opportunity to perform at Wrestlemania 23 for the “Battle of the Billionaires” storylines and take part in the “Hair vs. Hair” match.

No matter what peoples thoughts of Trump’s WWE gif are, I’m sure Vince is happy that the political world is talking about WWE. So could the American people start tuning into WWE shows like RAW/SD/NXT/PPV’s? We’ll see how WWE ratings do now that Trump gave WWE a shoutout. It could get more people interested in wrestling.

I’m pretty positive Vince would have no problem of Trump posting that wrestling gif so don’t get your hopes up if Vince is planning on suing Trump ’cause it won’t happen. Vince and Trump has been friends for years. They’ve always been business partners too. Trump has always been pretty close to the McMahon family and the proof is in the pic above. Vince’s wife who is Linda McMahon is part of the Trump admin. as she works for the SBA.

Could ratings for RAW and Smackdown go up a little this week after Trump posting that gif? We’ll wait and find out what happens.

RAW ratings getting lower & lower? No surprise. Hey Vince, people want to see “wrestling”, not “family entertainment”…

Leave a comment

Last Monday’s RAW which was May 29th was the second lowest rated in WWE HIstory. There was one WCW Monday Nitro episode that did a lot lower. RAW ratings has been getting lower and lower these days.

Check out this article:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0602/626759/wwe-monday-night-raw-rating-second-lowest-in-history/

Since the RAW ratings has been getting so low, this made former WWE writer, Vince Russo reach out to Vince McMahon in hopes of maybe returning to WWE as a writer. There’s a lot of talk that Vince maybe all for Russo in coming back ’cause pro wrestling these days needs a lot of help.

Why are WWE shows tanking in the ratings these days? Hmmmmmm let me guess these reasons, shall we?

  • People don’t like the PG era of wrestling: The PG era of wrestling has been going on for too long now and we’re fed up with it. Watching WWE shows these days feels like watching Disney almost which is sad.
  • Vince McMahon ignores “wrestling” completely: Vince doesn’t want anything to do with wrestling in WWE anymore. He can ignore the wrestling part all he wants but WWE will always be wrestling no matter what you think of it. We just want Vince calling it “wrestling” again like he used to do in the 80’s and 90’s.
  • Bad storylines: Storylines in WWE are starting to get bad again. Sometimes they get real good and sometimes they go downhill. Well, they’re going downhill. I think this Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt feud is really dumb.
  • Bad booking of ppv shows: Enough said? The booking of matches is getting horrible these days as well.
  • Vince pushes the WWE superstars that he likes, not giving what the fans want: For example, Vince keeps ramming Roman Reigns down our throats. A lot of wrestling fans don’t like Roman Reigns and they feel that Vince should be pushing some of the other talent to the top that deserve it more… for example superstars like Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Luke Harper deserves to get pushed more.
  • We want to see Hardcore wrestling back and bring back the blood too: I really miss the hardcore days of wrestling back in the day. Wow. That was some great shit! Back in the days when WWE used to be real good. Lots of barbed wire, thumb tacks and all kinds of weapons were being used. I miss all the blood in wrestling too ’cause the blood is what makes wrestling matches exciting as hell. God, I miss the old days!

There, you get the idea. For the most part, people are getting fed up with wrestling being for children. How about something for everybody, ya know?

The problem is Vince just like to please himself when it comes to WWE shows. Everything you see on TV goes through Vince’s approval. If he likes it, he’ll use it. If he doesn’t he’ll trash it. Read Chris Jericho’s books for proof on that. He really needs to concentrate on giving what the fans want but he never does.

How about changing the WWE shows that are more aimed toward the “smart” fans instead of trying to reach an audience who are “marks”? The wrestling term “mark” is a fan who believes wrestling is real. A “smart” fan means the complete opposite.

Yeah, I’m a huge wrestling fanatic but would like to see the business improve myself. Sad ’cause there are so many talented new and young talent like Finn Balor, Aj Styles and Samoa Joe are a few of my favorites right now. Another favorite performer of mine is Asuka, who is a female wrestler on NXT but she’s not on RAW yet. She’s fucking awesome, though.

The WWE really need to step up their game. How about bringing back “wrestling”? That’s what people want to see!

Last night’s “WWE Payback” ppv was probably the worst ppv of this year… there were only two good matches on it…

Leave a comment

Is WWE starting to go downhill again? It looks like it. I watched “WWE Payback” on the Network  last night and it was a horrible ppv. The WWE isn’t always good, though. Sometimes they do get really good and sometimes they get really lame. Last night was really lame.

There were only two great matches last night on “Payback”… I thought Jericho vs. Owens was a really entertaining as hell match. That was the best match of the night and I’m glad Jericho won the USA Title from Owens. I don’t like how the WWE has been using Jericho as of late ’cause he’s a great performer, one of my favorites. I’m glad the WWE finally made Jericho look like a star again ’cause they have been making Jericho look weak for a while now.

I thought the Hardy’s vs. Cesaro & Sheamus was a great tag team match as well. Cesaro & Sheamus turning heel didn’t surprise me, though ’cause I had a feeling it was coming.

Most of last night’s ppv wasn’t that good at all. Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton “House of Horrors” was the stupidest match I’ve seen in a long time. I’m like what was that? This Wyatt vs. Orton storyline is turning out to be some horror film or something. The feud is too gimmicky. I mean, why not focus on the wrestling? This feud is getting stupid. Probably the dumbest storyline since the Triple H & Kane necrophilia bullshit.

The main event with Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman, uuuggghhhh… that was a boring as hell match too. It didn’t end very well.

I don’t know, it wasn’t a very good ppv at all. WWE better step its game up if they want people to watch it again. I’m also getting kind of fed up of how WWE keeps ramming NXT and the Cruiserweight division down our throats. That’s another reason WWE is going downhill. I understand WWE wants to give the new stars the spotlight but there are talented guys who deserve the spotlight too and maybe I’ll have another post on that soon.

I love wrestling and all but like everyone else, I don’t like how Vince McMahon wants to ignore the “wrestling” part of it. He’s so hung up on making wrestling “family entertainment” and I don’t like it either. I miss the old days of wrestling in the 90’s and 2000’s years when it used to be dark & edgy. I miss all the blood and hardcore wrestling, we don’t get that anymore. Sad.

Vince McMahon biopic in the works? Okay, who’s gonna play Vince in his own biopic film?

Leave a comment

Well even more movie news, Vince McMahon who is the legendary owner of WWE (formerly known as WWF) is finally getting his own biopic film. That means an actor is gonna have to play Vince in the film which is titled, “Pandemonium”. Tristar will make the movie.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/vince-mcmahon-wwe-biopic-pandemonium-landing-at-tristar-987511

It’s looking like this movie is going to be about how Vince McMahon Jr. started the WWF/WWE. About how Vince started his career in wrestling. I’m sure the film will go from young Vince to old Vince to where he is now. Vince bought the company from his father in 1982, it used to be called the Capital Wrestling Corporation but Vince changed the name to the WWF (World Wrestling Federation). The WWF kept its name until they lost a lawsuit against the World Wildlife Fund so they were forced to change the name to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).

Over the years of the wrestling business sparked all kinds of controversy. They were never for everybody, you either loved or hated the wrestling business but whether you loved them or hate them, Vince is a genius. I think Vince deserves his own biopic film and his story deserves to get told.

I wonder if in the film, they’re planning on using Vince as the evil owner as Mr. McMahon? You know, do his iconic walk while his theme song plays. It’ll be pretty cool if they did that and I’m sure they will.

This also means that they’ll have to find actors to play Vince McMahon Sr., Linda McMahon, Shane & Stephanie. I think it could be an interesting movie if made right.

So who’s going to be playing Vince? Will they use a well known actor? They need to find an actor who looks like Vince and they need to find somebody who is built & jacked ’cause Vince himself is a pretty jacked guy for his age.

I think J.K. Simmons would be perfect. The right age, plus Simmons is a pretty jacked guy and Simmons temper-tantrum is pretty scary just like Vince. So J.K. Simmons would be perfect, in my opinion. Willem Dafoe isn’t a bad choice as well.
