I just assumed that Sgt. Slaughter as Raw guest host in Calgary was Vince McMahon trolling the entire country of Canada for two hours.

They do that almost every time they go there now. They wonder why they get the "bizarro world" reactions (that they really don't get anymore, but whatev), maybe it's because every time they do TV up there they spend the whole show slapping them in the face with their collective dick.

Canadian wrestling fans love Sgt Slaughter. Why would anyone even think otherwise? I do not know of one fellow wrestling Canadian wrestling peer who doesn't like Sgt. Slaughter. In fact, every one of them is a big fan. None of them watch wrestling anymore but if they knew the Sarge was on TV, I guarantee you they would be bringing in more Canadian viewers.

 

But yeah as a general rule, Canadians are a big fan of the Sarge.

Sarge was the GM because GI Jow opened this past weekend.

Is calling Jeff Hardy the 2009 Lex Luger, a fair comparison?

In what way do they compare?

Expand more. Wasn't Luger always charged with being all physique who couldn't win the big one? Jeff's won the title a few times, and well, his physique isn't what sells.

No...Jeff is a harder worker than Luger ever was.

Jeff is More over than Luger ever was

and Jeff actually loves the business as opposed to Luger. Who would deny to people he was even in the business.

Not sure Jeff loves the business as much as he loves meth.

Not going to argue Jeff isn't over as hell - especially after seeing him live - but Luger in 88-90 was in the same neightborhood.

Not going to argue that Jeff does bigger spots, but Hardy has never had as good a year as Luger had in the ring in 89.

Given that Jeff's been going all out in his matches despite the fact that he's leaving, shows he has some passion for wrestling

Luger...Who would deny to people he was even in the business.

I need to know more about this. He would tell people he met that he wasn't a wrestler? Would say it was a temp job and he wasn't "in the business"? Would tell people he wasn't this "Lex Luger" fellow?

Funny, I agree with all three points you make here. I'd rather watch Luger at his best than Jeff Hardy at his best, without any doubt.

Occasionally on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Brian Alverez answer questions asked on the forum. Today someone asked "In the 90's Bret Hart bought a mansion in American from Monty Burns. Did he ever sell it back to him?".

 

I physically laughed out loud for awhile. Not at the silly question, but the fact that oblivious Dave (and I guess Alverez) didn't catch it and talked seriously for about 2 minutes on Bret's housing situation in the 90's and frugalness. Poor Dave, he expects actual questions and doesn't deserve these rick-rolls.

 

The guy on the forum also said he asked if Bret ever had the match with the Shrieking Sheik? but it wasn't asked on-air.

What are you basing all of that on? All three points you listed are debatable, with the third one being based in nothing I have ever read or heard.

LOL if Bret himself sent that question. I would think someone like Meltzer would be a Simpsons' fan.

In what way do they compare?

I actually wasn't talking about from a work standpoint, but as far as drugs and drug abuse is concerned. Just a lot of shades of Luger

If Bret had been on Friends or 90210 Dave would've caught it right away :-)

Man, that question for Dave was brilliant. There are some clever people in the world.

So what the hell is this at F4W.com about A.J. Styles' retirement?

He announced his retirement at last night's TNA tapings. He announced his return to the ring at tonight's TNA tapings. Will he be as good as he was before? Only time will tell.

There's a story going around in English rugby right now about a physio slipping a player a blood capsule so he could head to the blood bin and be replaced by a goal kicker. Should've bladed.

as to the third point - Mike Graham on the Legends Round table on Classics on Demand told of his disgust of seeing Luger deny to people on planes other places that he was Lex Luger. He was given all the chances in the world to get over in the WWE and what did we wind up with "The Lex Express". The man liked the money but plainly had no passion for the business and kindly name me three good matches he had with someone not named Flair.

He had two good matches with Pillman and one with Steamboat. I win.
