American Wolves vs. House of Truth was so good this weekend.

 

[FedEx227]

Front row at Glory by Honor X this Saturday.

We have an extra ticket so any VSNer that wants to make the trip to Chicago please let me know. I'm serious, we need to find someone.

--WWE has a lot of new programming they are considering for their network, among the ideas listed on the WWE web site are:
*A show with Steve Austin and a more high-brow beer taster going around the country sampling beer.
*Mick Foley going around the country to amusement parks and checking out the rides
*Mick Foley hosting a show with the craziest moments in WWE history like the insane high risk moves of himself, Jeff Hardy, Shane McMahon and others.
*The Big show and wife Bess reality show, showing off her cooking talents and him showing off his eating talents as well as life at home.
*A reverse biggest loser, in this case it's skinny guys who work with a WWE performer to add muscle to their bodies and try then get girls.
*A fitness show with various WWE men and women stars where you go go the gym with them and they demonstrate their workouts and give nutritional advice. Shouldn't that show be with the guys who are their trainers and give them their nutritional advice?
*Divas on the road in a tour bus. I guess they'll create women fighting over guys in their storylines.

Vince is really trying to hard with this reality TV junk.

 

[FedEx227]

My biggest fear with the WWE Network and while it will be a complete failure.

McMahon just refuses to have a wrestling network. He refuses to think he's a wrestling promoter. He has failed in EVERY non-wrestling venture he's ever done, yet he still does it.

If you so badly want to not be wrestling then hire actors and train them to be wrestlers. Instead, he hires bodybuilders and wrestlers and tries to turn them into actors.

It's really maddening and I don't understand it at all.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Ultimately, the people will speak.

If the highest rated programming on the WWE Network is wrestling, and nobody watches the Mick Foley Rollercoaster Hour or Big Time Cooking With Bess Wight, and Vince still pushes the entertainment agenda while burying wrestling content at 2am on Wednesdays, then we can officially call him crazy and stop thinking he will ever admit HE RUNS A WRESTLING COMPANY.

 

[FedEx227]

And that he made his billions in a wrestling company and not the WBF, ICOPRO, XFL, WWE Films or WWF New York.

Don't forget the Donny LaLond vs. Sugar Ray Leonard bomb. Yes, Vince failed to properly promote a SUGAR RAY LEONARD fight. In the 80's. That's like missing a layup on a 4 ft Nerf hoop.

You mean dunk.

No one ever shot a layup on a NERF hoop. All dunks.

I was fundamental and practiced finger rolls and high wing bankstops on my nerf hoop.

That is why you host podcasts now and not in the NBA.

 

[FedEx227]

What podcast do I currently host?

I'm also not in the NBA because I'm 5'10 and white.

Bobby Hurley played for a while...what's your excuse?

 

[FedEx227]

He also was forced in the gym for like 14 hours a day by his crazy dad.

I'd rather just play Crazy Taxi or sumpin'

New Japan is having a GREAT year. This isn't a blow away lineup, but it should still be pretty good.

 

[EmpireWF]

but......The Rock, and probably Mick Foley.

It's pathetic that if you want to watch an actual wrestling match, there is less than zero reason to watch Raw. Not even a single logical reason.

I'd love to see the breakdown of how much EVERYTHING takes between the actors, crew, editing, advertising, etc for WWE Films to crank out unbelievably shitty movie after unbelievably shitty movie. VS. how much those trash movies make in limited release theaters for 3 weeks and 10 braindead Walmart shoppers buying "that Randy Orton movie". It's gotta be a GIGANTIC loss.

Also, who the FUCK wants to see a Big Show and wife cooking show? Even McMahon and Co have to know by now that while THEY don't consider themselves a wrestling business, that 18-49 year old women would never be caught dead getting WWE Network or getting it's cooking advice from it. It's going to bring in kids, and people like myself who are looking for nostalgia. 21+ year old, male wrestling fans have plenty of time to learn how to cook on their own. And the ones younger don't give a shit. It would get A viewer I'm guessing, in Stephanie McMahon. The camera crew will be robots.

i never check this forum so my apologies if this was already posted

http://www.tmz.com/2011/11/14/kamala-wrestler-leg-amputated/#.TsG0Ij0k67s

Wrestling legend Kamala just posted a video message online from his hospital bed, claiming one of his legs has been surgically removed ... but the Ugandan Giant insists, "I'm blessed. I'm alive."

According to reports, the amputation was a medically necessary procedure due to complications from high blood pressure and diabetes.

Kamala seems in good spirits in the video, saying, "I only lost my leg, not my life."

That happend to my Dad. It doesn't end well. I'd give him 2 years if he's lucky and takes care of himself, 2 months if he doesn't. You have to screw up a lot to get to that point, so I'd take him in the "next wrestler to die" pool.
