Touched on it on the Twitter, but since I haven’t said it here, the word broke that Brock “Abeyance” Lesnar has signed a new WWE deal, presumably one where he makes a shitload of money to show up on TV three times a year. And then people wonder why they can’t make new stars.

It’s a lost cause, jabroni.

I totally forgot that Hulk Hogan endorsed a grill.

I wonder why it didn’t last long… oh wait.

As much as some might perceive this as doom and gloom, it’s probably a smart idea to save up on some money. I’m sure they got enough content from the past few tapings that they can afford to skip a month of tapings. Unless they want to start taping their shows from a pink studio with no people… nobody is going to get that last bit, are they?

Gotta suck for the talent under contract, though; having to wait for the next set of dates that might seem like months away. Wonder if they’re allowed to take bookings elsewhere in the interim.

Only saw a couple episodes and it’s alright… hell of a lot better wrestling-wise than what they’ve been putting out a couple years ago, but I’m probably gonna stick with NXT for my ‘alternate’ wrestling fix; an hour that goes by fast and fresh talent… also LIGHTS.

Alberto El Rio Del Patron tore his quad at a show. According to dubious sources, word of this reached Kevin Nash, who was seemingly irate that this “Mexican midget” was stilling his online gimmick. Eventually, cooler heads prevailed when he took solace in the fact that nobody would care about this in the long run.

“When I tore my quad twenty years ago, people made a joke out of it,” Nash had allegedly said, “And you internet geeks and marks got lots of mileage out of that. But when this Alberto Del Kabong or whatever his face is tears his quad, how many people are going to give a shit? The business is ruined, boys.”

Shortly after this supposed interview was (never) conducted, Nash tore his quad… again. On the bright side, the hospital where he was staying was kind enough to offer him a giant salad (with no olives – Nash don’t like the olives.)

Friday night at Madison Square Garden was Hulk Hogan Appreciation night at a WWE Live Event ™, as a bunch of people celebrated the life and career of one Hulk Hogan. As a token of appreciation and as a sign of how much Hulk Hogan meant to New York, a banner adorning his name was hung high in the rafters, among the banners of past New York champions. It was a momentous occasion for Hogan and his Hulkamaniacs; a telling sign that Hulkamania was truly and forever immortal and would live on until the end of time.

However, this past Saturday, during a NBA game that saw the New York Knicks trounce the Toronto Raptors in a rather tight game – or so I was told – some fans have noted that the prestigious banner and undeniable proof of Hulk Hogan’s immortality and “GOAT” status (groan) was nowhere to be found. One has to wonder if the banner would ever see the light of day beyond the occasional WWE telecast from New York. One has to wonder if the banner is still in one piece.

With no other details at hand, it is safe to assume that on that fateful Friday night, Hulk Hogan left his creative control card at home.
