I ramble about things.

Chael Sonnen Retires After Failing Drug Test

Read the story here.

It’s kinda funny when you think about it; guy fails a drug test, guy retires. But you can’t fault the guy for setting his priorities straight and good for him… maybe he’ll be back. Not an MMA fan myself, but I always thought Sonnen was one of the more interesting cats in UFC. The kind of guy who would fit perfectly in a sports-entertainment environment… it wouldn’t be unprecedented, either. Doubt he’ll go for that sort of thing, though. I don’t blame him.
That said, how long before McMahon tries to offer him a contract?

Anyone know what's going with MMPRINO?

It seems as though their last Facebook post has then encouraging discussion on Austin St. John’s return to the world of the living. Any news as to where their generico stuff is going? Is it cancelled? Did it get taken down? Are they even working on the bloody thing? Are they waiting for the reboot to come out in a couple years so that they can take credit for it?

I’d check, but I’m far too lazy.

The Movement Is Done…

In the end, it was a broken neck that ended the dream… Well, it had to happen sooner or later.

People are probably upset about this turn of events and might even think the past year of pushing the guy to the top seems like a waste, but at the end of the day, I’m not displeased with how things turned out. The guy got to beat John Cena clean, got to headline PPV main events, managed to get the crowd behind him, and eventually got the one Wrestlemania moment that made it all worthwhile. All of these things, you cannot take away from Bryan Danielson no matter how hard you tried.

It was a good story with its ups and downs. A shit ending due to real life circumstances, but a nice feelgood story from an organization that produces so few of them these days.

Best of luck in your recovery, Bryan. And here’s hoping you come back stronger and better than ever.

TNA Draws Little…

From a Lords Of Pain posting, a fan photo of a TNA Wrestling event in Bowie, Maryland, where they played to a crowd of up to 300 paying fans at a minor league stadium. To give some context, the average minor league baseball game would draw at least three times that number. I don’t want to speak ill of TNA (mostly to avoid attracting that kind of fan), but for a decade-old wrestling organization with national television exposure and having been home to some major names to draw this paltry an attendance is pretty pathetic and pretty telling of TNA’s woes at the moment.

Of course, ask any TNA fan or office worker about this sort of thing and they will insist that EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Yeah… right…
