It seems like Sabu and RVD matches never wanted to end.

RVD is the perfect instance of a guy who was given way too much time.

Hogan's Metallica story is fine in the same universe where Undertaker dropped him on his head in 1974 and Hogan really is immortal just by flying against the earth's rotation to Japan causing him to live over 400 days a year.

Believe me there were some ECW matches that went way too long and then there were the ones way too short.

In the "all pro-wrestlers aren't fuck ups" series, the shoot interview with Jim Brunzell is really good. Comes off like a cool guy, tells a lot of good stories. If you believe his Wiki page he's 62, but he really doesn't look a day over 50. It puts things on perspective when you hear that he had to have shoulder replacement, and that he fucked up his left hips too, and that just because of throwing thousands of dropkicks and falling down on the left side. You don't think of crazy highspots when you think of Brunzell, yet it was enough to do serious damage to his body. Does a great Jim Barnett impersonation, but doesn't say "My boy" sadly.

It blows my mind that Rey Mysterio Jr. is still only 37. I know he started young but it's incredible just how young when you look at how long he's been active in this business.

 

I wonder how many years he will keep going. He's had a LOT of work done on those knees.

This is great stuff

I don't think it's as impressive when alot of his peers have had similar tenures, especially with the lucha guys.

Odd that he felt the need to do a run it at Classics of all places to defend himself in yet another does UFC get to much coverage debate

Would anyone besides me be amused if Batista came back to feud with Daniel Bryan just so they could book the angle as "The Animal" vs "The Vegan"???

 

Batista was one of the first guys talking shit online that Danielson didn't deserve the World Title, they could tie it all together in a nice little bow.

I hope Hogan eventually makes the argument that he predicted the rise of social media in 2000 and that his feud with Kidman was a decade ahead of its time. Trash talking online is how the WM main event this year is being built up after all.

Don't you go giving Hulk any ideas.

So CM Punk tweeted a few days ago about wanting to curb stomp Chris Brown and offering his services if Brown wanted to fight someone who can defend themselves (Chris Brown famously battered Rhianna while they were dating a while back and his prominent place at the Grammys this year rubbed a lot of people the wrong way). Brown's response upon hearing he was called out by a pro wrestler guy was to call CM Punk a roid abuser who's junk is to small to please a woman. Not only is that hilarious for obvious reasons, I bet WWE will freak out and make Punk drop it despite A: constantly whoring for mainstream attention and B: the fact that the vast majority of people agree with Punk on this.

God, Punk/Chris Brown at Wrestlemania would be off the charts. He's the kind of guy WWE would have used in the Attitude era.

Awesome except one thing comes to mind when I think of curb-stomping. American History X

Quick straw poll, but does ANYONE prefer bald psycho Kurt Angle to the three Is, milk-drinking version?

He looks better bald, but I prefer the earlier version.

I really liked the WWECW Kurt and Kurt during the Smackdown Six Era.

Not to mention it would be the closest modern wrestling could get to the "heels had to fist fight their way out of the arena" level heat.

 

Of course it also just occurred to me that considering their own history, WWE might not see anything wrong with Chris Brown.

Of all the fates that karma could bring upon him, that would be pretty weak. Nothing less than something out of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo would come pretty close.

Wow, that opening segment on Raw with Cena and Eve probably just ensured Linda's not winning this election either.

They finally made Cena a babyface in the eyes of the male fans in the audience. But yeah, that segment was "exhibit A" in the case for wrestling being viewed as trash by most people.

Watching the Jim Brunzell shoot on youtube...Jim mentions that he understood Rick Steamboat was in ill health. Anyone know what that is or was about?

He had the bleeding in the brain several years back. What's the date of the shoot interview?

Also... a summary of the Cena stuff? That way I can avoid turning away from the Holmes On Homes / Holmes Inspection marathon I'm having off my DVR to clean up space.
