BREAKING NEWS: Chris Jericho will not face charges against Victoria wrestling fans…

Everyone remembers the controversial youtube videos where Chris Jericho was caught getting into fights with young WWE fans outside of an arena in Victoria, B.C. after a RAW house show.

Chris Jericho, the profesional wrestler was accused of assault and starting the fight by calling an asian fan a bunch of racist names, and Chris was confronted by a bunch of angry WWE fans later. The videos showed Chris being angry at security, accusing them of not doing their jobs, while Chris is being assaulted by WWE fans and he attacked the fans in return for self defense. This incident happened after Chris was leaving the RAW house show for the evening.

Chris Jericho will not be charged with anything due to no evidence being proved. Even the videos in youtube couldn’t prove his guilt. The Victoria police already brought Jericho into questioning, not arrest him, but just questioning him.

Chris Jericho, is set to wrestle a match at Wrestlemania 25 against Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, and Jimmy Snuka with Ric Flair in their corner. Mickey Rourke will be watching at ringside, and Rourke will somehow be in action too. Whether Rourke will help the Legends win and pound the hell out of Jericho or Rourke teams up with Jericho either way. Rourke will be there. Wrestlemania takes place on April 5th.

Jericho catches a lucky break on this one. Now that I think about it, Jericho never did anything wrong. He was just a guy leaving a WWE show for the night and fans just wouldn’t let him leave. Stupid kids that obsess with wrestlers. As long as people are hating on Jericho for real, then he’s doing a great job being a heel character in the WWE. That’s the name of the game with the wrestling business folks. WWE doesn’t care if people hate on these wrestlers ’cause that’s what they are supposed to do. 🙂

Report: Interview with Vince McMahon…

New interview with Vince McMahon, chairman of the WWE, at the Hollywood Reporter. Vince talks about the business of WWE from merchandise, movies, music, Wrestlemania 25, foreign wrestlers from other countries joining the WWE, etc.

Read the interview here:

Is Vince McMahon going to be involved in some type of match at Wrestlemania? I’ve been reading reports through wrestling websites, that the entire McMahon family: Vince, Shane, Linda and Steph will all have a match together in the McMahon family feud…but looks like the McMahon family feud storyline has been dropped…RAW has started a McMahon family feud for a little bit but it stopped for some reason. Not sure if they’ll still have the match at Wrestlemania or not.

I don’t think any of the McMahon’s will be involved at Wrestlemania this year…look like they’ll let the superstars have their time at Wrestlemania.

Thought: The WWE shouldn’t be the blame for wrestler deaths…

I am so tired of people and the media blaming the WWE for wrestler deaths. Most wrestlers that die of either steroids or drug overdoses, didn’t work for the WWE anyway. Most of them were “fired” from the WWE in real life because they failed their wellness policy. That is the reason Andrew Martin was released from the WWE ’cause he failed the wellness policy.

The WWE does NOT hand these wrestlers drugs so they can get buffed up and muscular for matches. The wrestlers brought all of this upon themselves. All of these wrestlers that die of drugs was their own fault. They had chosen to get addicted, that’s what they did.

All WWE’s job is to entertain wrestling fans all over the world and keep the business alive, that’s all they care about.

Nobody knows how Andrew Martin died, because his cause of death hasn’t been revealed to the public yet, but if it indeed turned out to be drugs, I have a feeling the media will be blaming the WWE, non stop. The media has been blaming the WWE everytime a wrestler died ever since the Chris Benoit double murder/suicide controversy.

The wrestlers are human beings, so they make decisions on their own, and they made the decision to get addicted to drugs. I think, that anybody that gets addicted to drugs whether it’s steroids, pain killers, alcohol, coke, heroin, acid, etc. is suicidal. Really think about it. Drugs is suicide.

The WWE will always be alive. The WWE will always go on forever even when Vince McMahon is not around. They are not going to get shut down because of all of these wrestler deaths. The wellness policy in the WWE is there for a reason, to help their superstars.

Really, you have to look at all sports that uses drugs. Look at all these baseball stars that are admitting to using them too. Profesional boxers and UFC fighters probably use ’em all the time also.

I hate how muscular guys are an easy target. They always get blamed for everything.

Report: Sci Fi channel will now be changed to “Sy Fy” which to me is pretty stupid!

The Sci Fi channel will be getting a new name. NBC Universal will be changing the name to “Sy Fy”. The name change will be in effect sometime in July. The Sci Fi channel is a popular science fiction TV channel, that aired shows like Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows, Battlestar Gallactica, etc. All kinds of sci fi/fantasy films. It’s even the home of WWE’s “ECW” on Wednesday nights.

RIP: Andrew “Test” Martin 1975 – 2009

It’s been a long while since there has been a WWE wrestler death hasn’t it? Sure has. Here is the first wrestler death of 2009. Andrew “Test” Martin, better known as, Test, in the WWE, was found dead in his Tampa, Fl. apartment.

To those who don’t remember him, in the early days of WWE, he had a major feud against superstar Triple H. Being in a love triangle storyline over Stephanie McMahon. In real life, Test dated former WWE Diva, Stacy Keibler.

Andrew’s cause of death is unknown at this time, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it has something to do with drugs. He was only 33 years old.

Cool Video: Hulkamania goes wild in divorce court…

In the Hogan divorce court today, Linda’s lawyer was in the middle of interviews with the press, when Hulk Hogan came along to confront the guy. The Hulk threatens to sue the guy, while Linda’s lawyer was shouting at him. Hulk’s own lawyer joined in on the action and it was lawyer vs. lawyer.

I’m sure the Hulkster wanted to tear his shirt off and say those famous words, “So whatcha gonna do brotha, when the Hulkster run wild on you.” Then give Linda’s lawyer the famous leg drop after, but of course, with Hogan on crutches, it would be pretty hard to do.

See the video below.

Is Mickey hinting us that he’s going to Wrestlemania?

Check out Mickey Rourke’s pics at the Spirit Awards, he’s holding a WWE World Champ belt from the RAW brand.

http://www.variety.com/awardcentral_article/VR1118000435.html?nav=news&categoryid=1983&cs=1

Is that a sign that Mickey changed his mind about dropping out of Wrestlemania, and he’s actually going to do it? I’m not sure if that belt that Mickey holding is the actual belt from WWE or a replica.

I’m on the look out for more pics of Mickey Rourke at the Spirit Awards.

RANT: Wrestlemania no longer needs the Hulkster, don’t get him!!!

Did you know that behind the scenes of the WWE that Vince McMahon tries to get Hulk Hogan to perform a match at Wrestlemania every year? Yep, I believe it’s true. They are trying to get Hogan to fight John  Cena at Wrestlemania 25 this year.

Honestly, I kind of lost my respect to the Hulkster since the Nick Hogan crash controversy, and the Linda/Hulk divorce battle. I don’t care to see Hulk Hogan in WWE anymore. Now he’s out doing some stupid reality show with Eric Bischoff, that I’ve been reading about, a celebrity wrestling kind of thing or something.

Stone Cold being at Wrestlemania 25 is fine with me, ’cause I actually am a longtime Stone Cold fan and still am. The Hulkster’s an asshole, and a douchebag. He lives in his own world that he thinks he invented profesional wrestling when that isn’t true at all.

Wrestlemania 25 will do fine without Hulk Hogan. I’m fine with the other legends from the past being a part of the show but anybody except Hulkamania. Hulk ruined his own life. Screwed his own family, screwed his own career. He went from big profesional legend to a sore loser.

I don’t ever want to see Hogan in WWE ever again, so I hope and pray that he says no to being at Wrestlemania again this year.
