Orton had issues leading into his match at WrestleMania 22 with Mysterio/Angle and he was kept in there.

Orton is a totally different beast. I doubt Swagger will amount to anything now, not that he would have anyway. I mean, does anyone even remember this guys had been a world champ before ?

 

With Bruno getting inducted, and him giving the Wellness Program his stamp of approval, it would make no sense for Swagger to do the show now. It was a stupid gimmick anyway. Waste of a legend's time.

So I guess Bill Hicks was wrong after all?

I'm guessing he's talking about Hick's bit about stoned drivers.

 

"Now. You know what, if I was going to have a drug be legal, it would not be alcohol, you know why? There's better drugs and better drugs for you. That's a fact, so you can stop your internal dialogue. "Wait a minute, Bill, alcohol is an accepted form of social interaction which for thousands of years has been the norm under which human beings have congregated in the form of social events and..." Shut the fuck up. Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs, I see through you. Pot is a better drug than alcohol - fact, and I'll prove it. You're at a ballgame, you're at a concert, someone's really violent, aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot? (Audience) Drunk! The one and only correct answer, tell them what they've won, Johnny. I have never seen people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking impossible! Hey, buddy. Hey, what? End of argument. Say you get in a car accident, and you've been smoking pot. You're only going four miles an hour. Vroom... CRASH. Shit, we hit something. Forgot to open the garage door, man. We got to get the garage door open so Domino's knows we're home!"

Wow Swagger is a fucking moron. Enter: Mark Henry. Easy fix.

I like Mark Henry enough that I think he deserves better than the opening match.

Sorry, Will... heh. But, yeah, the idea of speeding whilst stoned, or doing anything fast, or really doing much of anything, is just... odd to me. He needs better shit.

Just because he was charged with DUI doesn't mean he was actually high at the time he was arrested. In most states if you're stopped with paraphernalia you get charged with DUI since it's not like booze where they can do a breath test to see if you're drunk or not.

Really? Damn, that sucks. Granted, I thought he looked stoned in the mug shot, he's a history of this kind of thing, and speeding is always y'know (then again, do we know how fast/far over/where he was doing it?)... but having some beers in the car doesn't mean you're drunk, either. There's a difference between a guy doing 70 on a 65mph interstate, sober, with a bit of weed on him, and a guy doing 100 through a 30?mph residential area whilst drunk off his face...

If he was actually stoned while driving, then fuck him since he could have killed other people. If he just had a baggie and a pipe in his car when he got pulled over for speeding, while still a dumb thing, isn't something he should have his career ended over.

Not that anyone should be driving while stoned but no one I have ever known have ever sped while stoned. Bill Hicks has it right when he says those drivers tend to be slower. Weed slows down your response time for everything.

Please. I beg of all of you. Don't let this thread turn into what the one over on DVDVR turned into over Swagger. Please...

 

So what is the latest on Undertaker? Judging by Raw, it really looks like they're putting Punk with Rock and Cena.

Has Fox News reported on this at all? I've heard they've had some unkind words about this gimmick.

It's basically making fun of their base. They should be pissed.

I think they're leaving that avenue open whilst, obviously, hoping Taker gives them a positive response.

As for FOX, I'm still waiting for the day someone pulls the trigger on a Dawkins-esque outspoken atheist. You'd need the absolute right guy to do it, but their weakness in getting their point across is the "you must be a fucking idiot to believe in God" attitude, and that's tailor-made for wrestling.

I think Punk is an atheist.

 

I meant to ask if Fox reported on the arrest.

Imagine a Dawkins-esque atheist character in the South... The heat, it would be beautiful.

WWE has challenged Glenn Beck to appear on Raw Monday. These sorts of challenges, such as Bischoff challenging McMahon to show up on PPV, always seem lame and desperate to me. I wonder if Vince is starting to worry about his somewhat weak Wrestlemania lineup and is trying to score any cheap heat possible to get attention.

Dirty Dutch gives no fucks. I love it.

God I hate this kind of shit

I'm totally torn on it. Like Dylan I kinda hate the "Hey, it's fake" stuff...but Dutch Mantell cutting a promo on Beck and morons of his ilk is so awesome.......

 

I'm gonna lean to "this rules", because it's Dutch.

In a way the fact that it's Dutch makes me hate it even more as his genius is being wasted on this

God I hate this kind of shit

 

Holy shit, I was watching the first minute or so and wondered why the hell would anyone hate it, as it's a pretty great promo from Dutch. Then... I understood why. Total Russoism. It's really too bad for Dutch that they wouldn't find something better to do with him rather than stupid shit like this, indeed. Watching Dutch read a pre-scripted promo and playing the corporate robot is depressing.

At least it's a payday. Kind of a crappy way to get a payday, but what are you going to do? At least it's getting a featured match payday at Wrestlemania, assuming Swagger didn't blow it for Dutch.

I turned it off as soon as they didn't emphasise "AMERICAN" English and then take a quick pop at Britain.

I noticed Swagger had nothing to say at all.
