    Mary had a little lamb…

    G fails to appear for the first half of the show, leaving the rest of the crew to wonder whether or not the 75 week appearance streak would end.  JT fills in for him in his absence while we relive what happened on wrestling television this week.  After the break song, picked by Jorge, G returns for the news, as Joe defends himself from Ustream commenters insisting he does whatever WWE tells him to do.  It’s a claim Joe denies despite tweeting while watching the WWE App during SmackDown on Friday.  In the news, we hear of Hogan’s horrific injury, mourn the loss of Hector Garza, and get a detailed report from our dear friend Benson about the fan brawl during RAW.  Find out what happens when you call Bully Ray a “mediocre athlete.”  Has WWE been reading BWF?  Joe ponders this as news of an animated Flintstones movie featuring WWE stars makes it’s way through the offices.  Meanwhile, the crew attempts to uncover the identity of the mysterious “Mavenfan.”  Tune in!

  2. Angry Rant-PED Edition

    1 Comment

    Forgive me for this rant. But I’m angry. This is not focused on a specific wrestler. This is just me railing on the upper echelon of the business and the prices it takes to get there. Forgive me, but I am angry.

    I’m angry that there are still wrestlers out there using PED’s. I understand I am not a wrestler, and I don’t have the same perspective on the business as somebody inside would. But I am a fan. The people in front of that camera matter to me. I’m tired of caring about a wrestler and then hearing about them violating the wellness policy again and again. And it’s not the same idiots like Chris Masters or Mr. Kennedy (dramatic pause… Kennedy). It’s guys I’ve cared about: Chavo, Regal, Sin Cara (though it looks like they might find a better one because of the first one’s violation). I’m angry at watching wrestlers cut corners.

    I’m angry at the unreal expectations the WWE, TNA, AAA (Yeah, I’m going after my sacred cow, too.) have set before their wrestlers. Why is Andy Leavine on juice? Why is Sin Cara? What about Hector Garza? Why did they take 5’3” Rey Misterio Jr. and make him put on weight? He is way ridiculously over his ideal weight for his size. And we wonder why he’s about to get ANOTHER knee surgery? What about Chris Benoit’s and Eddie Guerrero’s abnormal thickness for their heights? Remember when Randy Orton was coming back from surgery and Vince McMahon told him he needed to work out (on national tv)?

    I’m angry that nobody seems to be trying to look into the “why.” Nobody seems to care about finding the root cause of “why” wrestlers are using their PED’s. Maybe it’s Body Dismorphic Disorder. Maybe it’s addiction to the adoration of the crowd. Maybe it’s cause they’re young and stupid and think they won’t get caught.

    It’s time to change the culture. You can’t just give press lip service and then do what you’ve always done. Be different.

  3. Ten Ultimate X Fun Facts (and more)

    Your Empress of “Impact” has waxed obsessive lately in regard to Ultimate X matches. After watching several on dvd for the gazillionth time, I actually e-mailed TNA. I asked if they had ever considered releasing a dvd of every Ultimate X match ever done. (more…)
