I’m not saying much of anything here at the moment and I might want to touch on this further in a possible VLOG some time this weekend, but for now, I just want to leave this 2011 article from the Bleacher Report website covering the news of TNA severing ties with Chyna due to the release of her then-new porn video. And somewhere in that article, there is a rather specific blurb mentioning that her chances of being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame were slim to none now that her then-fledging porn career was in full swing. This was back in 2011.

So I leave you with this link so that you folks can read it, but I also leave you with this; if Chyna’s porn career was the catalyst in TNA (of all people) cutting their association with her after a couple appearances, what made anyone think that she had ANY chance in getting into the WWE Hall Of Fame?

Just some food for thought.

(2019 Update: Four years later, she’d be inducted as part of DX. So, this aged rather poorly… but it stays up… because it’s a historical document.)

At some point, human language has delivered a disturbing tendency to confuse “cool” with “stupid.” That would explain how someone would consider McSon-In-Law’s ridiculous looking costume to be cool.

You know what would’ve been cool? HHH in glasses and a leather jacket while riding a motorcycle. He could probably still pull that look off if he wanted to and you could’ve kept the Terminators too…

Then again,,, even Robocop would shake his head in shame at this total farce of an entrance…

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.)
