Punk's vintage macho man tights/boots are awesome.

Yes they were. Thought that was a nice touch by him last night. Catn wait to see TNA copy something now.

Did anyone read the foley's comments on twitter (I dont follow him or anyone for that matter) him and the rock were talking about their I quit Match and the empty arena match. Foley said the Empty Arena Match was like a TNA House show. Thats great.

If people ever want to see something they aren't completely behind, they'll sabotage it just because they can.

Kharma pregnant before Kelly Kelly?
Something doesn't seem right about that.

Kelly Kelly has probably had 15 abortions already.

Found this interesting.

In light of Randy Savage's passing on Friday due to an automobile accident in Seminole, Florida, F4WOnline.com posted a report comparing WWE wrestler death stats to similar sized samples in other fields of sports and entertainment.

The report states that of the 51 talents who appeared at the 1991 WWE pay-per-view WrestleMania VII, 14 have died prematurely—"The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich, Dino Bravo, Andre the Giant, Joey Marella, "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, Mr. Perfect, Miss Elizabeth, Hawk, Hercules, Big Boss Man, Earthquake, Sensational Sherri, Crush and Randy Savage. This list does not include Gorilla Monsoon (62, natural causes) and Lord Alfred Hayes (76).

By comparison, of the 44 professional football players who started on both offense and defense at Superbowl XXV between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Giants, all remain alive.

For professional boxing, of the 44 boxers to hold a major world championship in 1991 (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO), two are dead.

Of the 50 musicians to perform at the 1991 and 1992 Monsters of Rock festivals in England (an annual music festival which would attract the biggest names in hard rock and heavy metal music), all remain alive.



Now i gotta read the results from last night. Spoiled the main event for myself by reading one of the posts. Oh well

I get the overall point, but the WMVII example is a bad one.

Dino Bravo was murdered, Andre had a disease and lived as long as could be expected, Marella died in a car accident, Earthquake had cancer, and Savage's death is TBD (but likely steroid enduced enlarged heart), but he was almost 60 so its not as if this was a very young man. Big Bossman is a tricky one, overweight but still a bit young for a natural death.

A poster named mookieghana on the Observer boards did a detailed study of dead WWE wrestlers starting from 1980. The results clearly show that the late 80's/early 90's crew lived the most reckless lifestyles (steroid boom), with another significant bump in deaths from the period just prior to the Wellness Policy (painkiller boom).

I told her not to do it, but she just wouldn't listen. I wanted to name our first child Dave Dave.

It just amazes me that guys like Hogan (one of the biggest users of roids) and Flair (one of the most wreckless of lifestyles) out live'em all...maybe its because they are still in the business and thats the key to long life as a wrestler. Once these other guys calm down and get out of the business, their bodies don't adapt or something.

Has to be the genetics, has to be.

The most jacked up human being I ever saw was Warlord. He could barely walk. He had muscles in his face...his cheeks and forehead...disturbing.

Honorable mentions to Scott Steiner and Tank Toland. I saw Toland work a match in ROH where his backne was bleeding from taking bumps.

Jake the Snake and Scott Hall are both still alive ... life is so strange

I tired so hard to watch Raw the other night....I just can't.....

The anonymous GM thing is just so damn lame to me.....

As ridiculous as the GM gimmick is, its usually an afterthought in terms of goofy nonsensicle shit that they do.

Rick Rude was ridiculously gigantic for his frame in the late 80s.


In terms of the complete opposite, I'd like to know what kind of gym/diet regiment Roderick Strong got on a few years back. He use to be a chubby guy and then all of a sudden, it looked like he dropped 30 or more pounds and was lean.

Yeah, Strong went from soft to juiced to lean.

He got lean during that period where seemingly the entire ROH locker room stopped juicing. Brent Albright went from ripped to chubby, Aries got skinny, Strong shrunk, the Briscoes, almost everyone. Right after Benoit.

Castagnoli was the only guy who stayed shredded.
