Report: Undertaker vs. Kane match is making it in national sports news!

See the picture above? That’s Undertaker and Kane at the Times Union Center when they were just here for “Smackdown” in Albany, last month. 🙂 This Undertaker vs. Kane match at “Night of the Champions” ppv is getting huge in national sports news. Usually WWE never makes the sports news since they are entertainment wrestling, but when it comes to the Undertaker and Kane, it gets huge in sports for some reason. Now you understand why WWE have these two feud against each other all the time? Yes, that’s right, it’s marketing ploy. There is something about the sports world that likes Undertaker and Kane.

Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane, speaks with the NY Daily news about the upcoming ppv, this Sunday. Read it here.

In the past, everytime Kane became world champion, he never got to hold the belt long and he loses it the next week after. This is the longest Kane had the belt ever.

Everybody thinks Undertaker will become the new WWE Champion and win, but I don’t know. I’m predicting Kane will win and will retain. I think Kane will have a really long title run. Will I watch the ppv this Sunday? I don’t know. I’m thinking about it. Maybe. If I won’t be watching it, I’ll be reading the live results online.

I have a feeling Triple H may make a surprise return at the ppv, and the RAW anonymous GM might be revealed as well. Who knows.

Cool Video: Matt Hardy videoblogs to squash rumours that he’s been sent home from England…

WWE Superstar Matt Hardy took to his youtube page to squash rumours that he’s been sent home from England. He makes a video to prove that it’s not true, he’s still in England. I have noticed that Matt Hardy has been away from WWE, taking some time off again.

Watch this hilarious video. Matt is a bit of a whack job in real life, the way he is on TV.

New pic of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, man, he’s looking RIPPED!!!

Here is a recent picture of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, spotted leaving the gym in Miami (his hometown, where he grew up for most of his life before his wrestling days). The Rock is currently filming, “Fast and Furious 5” with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Dwayne has been working out for the role.

Either that, or is Dwayne getting ready for a WWE return when he is revealed as the RAW anonyous general manager? We can only hope.

Looking good, Dwayne! This is the best shape he’s ever been in since his wrestling days.

Not a Cool Video: Is Hulk Hogan in the hospital fake for a TNA storyline???

Hulk just posted another video of him in the emergency room. He has his new girlfriend in the room with him. He also admitted to watching tonight’s WWE RAW instead of TNA. Could the Hulkster be faking this for a TNA storyline? Is this why he is filming this stuff? Hospitals don’t allow this stuff to be videotaped. If his back injury was that serious, then he wouldn’t be talking and moving his arms like that. This is immediately looking to be suspiciously scripted for TNA TV. See the video here. Don’t believe everything these wrestlers put out there folks. This is another example of “kayfabe” wrestling. He’s sure as hell making this into a TNA storyline. I don’t watch TNA too much but I think Hulk is currently feuding with Ric Flair on TNA. Could Ric Flair himself show up at the hospital room in one of Hulk’s upcoming videos? Stay tuned.

Cool Video: Hulk Hogan posts a videoblog while in the emergency room…

News hit all over the web today, that Hulk Hogan was rushed to the hospital due to feeling some major back pains. While there the Hulk posted this video, just to prove that the news is true. He must have a mobile phone or something with a built in video camera on it.
Honestly though, this isn’t news that Hulk is injured again. He’s always been injured in wrestling many many times. Maybe he wasn’t wrestling at all in TNA and he still have back pains every now and then because of his wrestling past. This time his back pains must of gotten worse. As you just heard him say, he was scheduled to appear on tonight’s TNA show but he obviously won’t be there now.

If Hulk doesn’t get any better, then his wrestling days might be over for good. I do wish him well though.

Cool Video: The Kayfabe Killers protest against WWE’s PG rating…

There are these two young guys who started this controversial youtube page, that is becoming a hit in the wrestling world. They like to make parodies of WWE, making fun of the companies PG rating and how WWE is destroying the business with it. While their youtube channel is made for all in good laughs and fun, the page is real serious in a way too. As their goal is protesting the WWE PG rating. Their channel is quickly catching the attention of the wrestling community.

Enjoy these videos. These guys do a great job, I’m impressed. Oh, for those who don’t understand what the word, “kayfabe” means, it’s a wrestling term, meaning that real things can happen in wrestling that is not scripted. For example, the controversial Bret Hart Montreal screwjob, that was real, aka “kayfabe”. Other examples of wrestling kayfabe is the Hulk Hogan vs. Macho Man feud over this Miss Elizabeth storyline was inspired by real life events between them. The Vince McMahon steroid trial. The Mick Foley vs. Ric Flair off TV public feud. The Undertaker getting burned for real on a ppv event. See, not all wrestling is fake, sometimes some of this stuff can be real which ends up in kayfabe.

Thought: Do we really need another boring Undertaker vs. Kane feud again??? Please!!! *yawn*

If there is one thing on WWE RAW I don’t like is how they keep having these boring Undertaker vs. Kane feuds. The Undertaker just came back to WWE after a pretty long hiatus (due to getting married to WWE Diva, Michelle McCool in real life, he took time off to spend more time with her). When ‘Taker came back, Kane was feuding with Rey Mysterio at the time. The Kane and Undertaker feud actually started way back in the early 90’s. They’ve been feuding ever since and now the feud starts back up again. The only reason that Kane is World Heavyweight Champion, and WWE is about to make Undertaker world heavyweight champion again on the upcoming “Night of the Champions” ppv.

Another reason the Undertaker vs. Kane feuds is back on, is probably because, Triple H and Shawn Michaels are no longer around WWE. They want to keep the excitement with fans going by bringing back the Undertaker vs. Kane feud.

Will there ever be a closure to the Undertaker vs. Kane feud? It’ll happen sometime, but not right away. A closure to their long going feud will probably happen until one of these guys retire from WWE which won’t be for a long while. So expect a lot more Undertaker vs. Kane feuds in the future, folks. Their feud used to be fun and entertaining back in the old days, but today it’s all whacked. Their feud is no longer fun anymore.

WWE was looking to push Kane to give him more screen time, but he is now about to get overshadowed by Undertaker. While RAW is getting interesting again, the only thing I don’t like is this feud here. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Undertaker (Mark Calloway) and Kane (Glen Jacobs), and I respect both of them. Both are amazing performers and both have incredible mic skills. I wish WWE would stop bringing these two together. I want to see Kane get more success in WWE without the writers ruining it for him.

Other than that, everything else in WWE is great. I love the Nexus storyline, glad that WWE Diva Melina is back, and I love CM Punk’s new group, the sraight Edge society. I wonder when the RAW Anonymous GM will be revealed? I’ll imagine sometime before the “Night of the Champions” ppv or maybe the night on the ppv the GM will be revealed. The GM will probably end up being Triple H because the storyline is showing lots of signs of it. Plus, it looks like Triple H maybe done with wrestling ’cause he is having injury problems as well.

RIP: Luna Vachon 1962 – 2010

Yet another wrestler dies. This time it’s a female wrestler. Luna Vachon, real name: Gertrude Angelle Vachon, is a Canadian professional wrestler, who was known to have an amazing bodybuilder like physique. She performed in WWE from 1992 – 2000. Her entire life was revolved around wrestling. She was born with it and grew up on the wrestling inudstry. When she first appeared in WWE, she started performing as a manager for such wrestlers like Shawn Michaels and Goldust. Then the WWE allowed her to become a full time wrestler in the women’s division. Her most well known feuds against the Divas were against Sable and Jacqueline. In the year 2000, Luna was released from the WWE due to having a bad temper with other WWE employees backstage.

After her WWE release, she continued to wrestle for indie events and such. In 2004, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and became a born-again Christian. In August of 2010, her house burned down. Shortly after, she was found dead at her mother’s home where she was staying due to losing her home. She is survived by her two sons and has two granddaughters. Her cause of death is not known at this time, but don’t be quick to assume that she died of steroids or drugs. Remember, she had bipolar disorder, she had all kinds of personal problems, that it might be a possible suicide as well.

RIP Luna. I remember her back in the WWE days when she used to be around. She maybe freaky looking but that’s part of her wrestling character and gimmick. She was also a very talented wrestler and most female wrestlers don’t wrestle as good as she does. This is pretty sad news. Hopefully WWE will do a tribute for her this coming Monday on RAW. Luna Vachon was only 48 years old.

Report: WWE superstar, Sheamus, finally explains why he don’t tan…

WWE Superstar, Sheamus, did an interview with ESPN to help promote the new, “Smackdown vs. RAW 2011” video game. Ever wondered why his skin is so white and why John Cena calls him, a “human jar of mayonaise”? Why can’t he get a tan? It’s because he can’t.

Sheamus said:

“I can’t get a tan, to be honest with you. I get bright red, then I get white again. [laughs] I can’t actually get a tan, but what’s funny is it has definitely helped me stand out from day one. Just being different — not being tan, not having the short hair or the long hair like everybody else, my Irish accent — there are a lot of different things that put me in the right place at the right time, and I knew if I got the opportunity, I’d take it. That’s what I’ve done from day one. You give me an opportunity, I’ll run a mile.”

Honestly, I think Sheamus looks good being bright white. It makes it looks like he’s got a natural muscular built that way. Maybe so many wrestling fans wants to see him tan ’cause he’s one of the only wrestlers who never tans? Most every single professional wrestler out there have a perfectly tanned body.

Not with Sheamus though. I think he wants to prove that you can get muscle definition and results by not tanning at all. I don’t think Sheamus has done steroids. His physique doesn’t look steroid built to me at all. He looks perfectly natural to me.

Feel free to read the rest of the interview here.

Report: Daniel Bryan, blogs about his WWE return at Summerslam…

Former Nexus member, Daniel Bryan, was released from WWE a few months back. During those months he’s been gone, it disappointed WWE fans. Fans chanted his name during matches on RAW while he wasn’t working for the company. After his fanbase popularity, WWE had no choice but to re-sign him back to the company.

Read Daniel Bryan’s blog here, he thanks his fans for the support while he was gone from WWE:

He seems like a cool guy! I see him becoming a big main eventer very quickly, Daniel Bryan, future WWE Champion we have here!

I did watch Summerslam by the way. It was okay, nothing special.
