That's hysterical.

The first part of a two-part podcast featuring former WWE "wrestler" MVP is now up on IWantWrestling.com. He reveals that he left the company due to it becoming "too corporate" and decried that "wrestling" was now considered a dirty word.

This is a very good interview, especially for those wondering why all the FCW wrestlers brought up fail. It's sad, really.
 
UFC announced today that they are going to be offering injury insurance to fighters which would extend to injuries suffered in training that would go into effect on 6/1.

In a story by Kevin Iole at http://www.yahoo.com in the UFC section, UFC Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta said that UFC would now cover the approximately 350 to 400 fighters now under contract.

Fertitta said UFC would pay the premiums and the insurance would be through Houston Casualty Insurance Company, and would cover training related injuries. Fight related injuries had already been covered by UFC. Full health care insurance (like is provided in many jobs covering doctor's visits), non-injury related health issues and prescription drugs would not be covered with the new policy.

It would also cover injuries not related to training, such as an automobile accident during the period any fighter is under contract to the organization. Diseases would not be covered.

UFC had paid for training related operations and medical bills for some fighters in the past, but it was not a uniform policy.

It is believed to be the first fighting organization to offer this type of insurance. WWE pays for medical bills for injuries related to in-ring. TNA does not in most cases.

Yeah. The highlight of this episode. :lol

And I concur with others that a Kofi vs R-Truth feud would be intriguing. If they permit R-Truth to continue as an insolent, malicious heel, Kofi would provide a nice antithesis. And I think they would work a good match together.
 
Former WWE wrestler Shane Helms is under investigation for DUI charges related to his motorcycle accident last week. TMZ obtained the police report, which includes a witness telling North Carolina police that Helms had been hanging out at a local restaurant minutes before the crash.

The witness "was sure" Helms had been drinking before he and his girlfriend took off on the bike, and allegedly blew through a stop sign, lost control, and "drove straight through the metal chain link fence."

Who cares who gets booed? The EDITING of it is the pathetic part of it.

It's a live Entertainment crowd, you think a choir would EVER get a good response, much less one leading to the entrance of the Marine Preacher John Cena?

So if entrances were switched you think people would cheer NAS Cena and boo DMX choir Miz? Not to mention it's ATLANTA, deep in the heart of the Southern Church Gospel areas. Every fricking event they have some kind of choir. Check Grambling vs. Southern, stunned they didn't have a drum battle at Wrestlemania.

... insane ramblings that don't answer the question is a good way to counter internet arguments at times...

This is not one of them. But then you've never been one to make a single ounce of sense or care about self-respect in your posts.

Meh, who knows if Nas would've gotten a better reaction, but all I know is unless they were performing INSIDE the Church, there's no way a choir would get a good reaction. I'd expect silence or booing pretty much every time.

Actually, maybe if WM27 was in NYC, the Nas promo would've gotten a big response, and the choir would've been torn to shreds.

Next year watch rock come out to that assclown who was on raw last week and get massive cheers. I don't think the fans care as long as they like the wrestler IMHO.

They'll just blame it on Christian. If the ratings were through the roof they would have credited it to Orton becoming champ and the hype generated by the spoilers like when Foley won.
 
There's NO WAY they can justify the low Smackdown ratings being Cristian's fault when reports of RANDY ORTON winning and it being a "GREAT MATCH" were all the wrestling community was reading last week. If anything, people didn't watch cause they were pissed, or because of other sport events/TV Shows in the same time slot.
 
The Champ’s WWE Over the Limit opponent determined on Raw

Michael Cole has forwarded the following message from the anonymous Raw General Manager to WWE.com. And we quote:

Tonight, live on Raw, the challenger for John Cena’s WWE Championship at WWE Over the Limit will be decided. Once the challenger is decided, Cena will be able to choose the stipulation of the match.

To find out who will vie for Cena’s title in just two weeks at WWE Over the Limit, tune in to Raw tonight at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

How is it "overcoming the odds" when Cena gets to declare preferential stips for his title defenses?
How is it that the anonymous RAW GM needs to funnel his (or her) proclamations via Michael Cole to WWE.com instead of relaying them directly?
How is it that Randy Orton merely needs to win a popularity contest to be declared #1 contender to Christian's title?

CENA / ORTON / COLE = God-Tier
EVERYONE ELSE = Meaningless Fodder

How about we watch Heat vs. Celtics instead?
 
I didn't watch Smackdown due to the spoilers. I caught them on Youtube. Overall it was a good match, but the whole Christian losing turned me off.
 
According to local advertisements in the New York City area,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
is being advertised to return to WWE at the Monday night RAW TV taping at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY on June 13th.

Well they can and they will say something to the effect off 'Christian didn't draw people to the product just turn people away'. WE have to wait for the rating for this weeks Smackdown if its low(er) than this - maybe they will scratch their heads and ask Styles.

If this week's Smackdown rating is also down, they'll just say that people must still think Christian has the title and should be removed from the title program altogether.

Next week after that Christian gets removed from TV and gets a road agent job.

Formula Inside Vince's Head

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN FOR CHRISTIAN = RATINGS DEATH

This will eventually be answered by a main event championship reign for Michael Cole.

They've always had the mentality that the IWC doesn't make up a very substantial group of viewers to affect ratings. Therefore, there's no reason to cater to us in any way. So I really doubt they'll consider leaked spoilers on the Internet the reason ratings dropped, whether that's the case or not.

It's bad that the main reason I am watching Raw apart from Truth is the tiny bit of hope that Tarver or Percy may appear!

Speaking of old NXT guys, what the hell happened to Skip Sheffield? Shouldn't he have been back by now?

Also, I hope they use this JoMo injury to elevate Kofi and Bourne. We need some more faces near the top of Raw.

They were clearly booing Cena, not the choir.
 
I usually don't mind Cena as much as others do on here, so I'm not trying to nitpick when I say this. But having a gospel choir announce his entrance came across as really self righteous of Cena's character.

If they weren't in Atlanta I doubt they use a choir. He seems to do Wrestlemania entrances based on where they are, remember Detroit and the gangsters?

The choir was 100% Vince's idea. He thought there was no way on earth his audience would boo a church choir and thought it would get people to cheer Cena.

Oops.
 
Kaval and MVP had a sit down interview today on Sirius/XM and he revealed why the clusterfuck happened at the end of NXT S2. Kaval said it was Vince's way to humble Kaval about celebrating in Vince's ring. It was all an audible called at the last minute so nobody knew what to do other than attack Kaval. MVP and other jumped in because they had no idea what was going on and since MVP was a face, he went in to save Kaval. When MVP got to the back, I guess he got heat from management for jumping in. They question why he went in to help and MVP replied because he was a face and he wasn't going to just stand around doing nothing. Management said if it was Stone Cold out there, he would have just laughed at it all.

Gonna record the replay tomorrow.

No way. They tried that shit last year with the marines.

The only time Cena didn't get booed was when 1000 Cena's came out at WM25.

But that ending of season 2 on NXT was the best thing to come out of there. So many lulz moments.
