That's no shock. It was always funny looking at the shots at him wrestling in college next to his pro wrestling shots. It's like Bruce Banner and the Hulk.

Those are some recent pics, he looks well doesn't he?

I know I was sold on buying the PPV when I heard Donald Trump talk about "my large black friend Lindsey" in several media interviews he did.

He was facing a big beastly man named UTERUS.

Wow, Bobby does look quite a bit smaller in those pics.

Paul Heyman's first interview of any real merit since he left WWE. If nothing else, it's interesting the way he talks about Stephanie McMahon, since the sheets have always pitted them against each other. According to Paul, she was the one trying to get him to stay.

Of course, he is a huge liar, so who knows.

"For example, a finish in most every match. Simple thought. A winner and a loser. And a story with it that makes sense."

This sentence states perfectly everything that was right about the REAL ECW (and World Class and Mid-South in the 80's), and everything that is so wrong in modern day WWE, and too an infinitely greater degree, TNA. What also made ECW great was that it never forgot that it was always essentially an indy promotion, ala always developing new stars, and giving fans great storylines with a real payoff at the end. Heyman was a genious/visionary, and the biz is tremendously worse off without him.

Observer put the kay-bosh on the Punk in the doghouse rumors, saying that in actuality Punk is in a better position now that Lagana was fired as he was his main detractor and was pushing for Morrison to get the title back right away before and was the person who put the title on Chavo. Dusty is a big Punk fan and Hayes has been trying to get him on SD! for awhile. Ed Koskey(sp) is booking ECW now, with Dusty's help, however Hayes has a TON of political power right now and is likely overseeing both ECW and SD!

The movie is probably at your favorite torrent site by now, assuming your favorite torrent site has porn on it. Pretty lame, really, but Shelly gets spanked and licked and whatnot. So it has that going for it.

So apparently, TNA once again failed to provide a clean finish for their PPV main event.

I've gone from actually hoping for improvement to not even considering the idea of looking for a stream. What a worthless ****ing company.

Well, Big Show's back

Big Show got bloodied pretty bad by Pretty Boy Floyd. It was a work, supposedly, but damn it was real. The Orton-Cena match was bullsheet. They are booking the HHH-Orton-Cena for Mania but they went about it wrong with Orton and Cena.

No Way Out sounded like it was pretty nice. I can't wait to see the Mayweather-Show footage and fallout, because it seems awesome and it's going to be such a great angle for everyone involved.

Also, with Smackdown! leaving the CW this fall, TVweek is reporting that the two leading candidates to pick it up are MyNetwork TV (which you would have to think would be a last resort for the E) and WGN.

For some bizarre reason, I've always wanted WGN to have wrestling programming of some sort.

If they're doing a 3-way, they may as well just throw in Hardy. And then he'll end up winning, ala Rey a few years ago, when he wasn't originally planned to be involved.

I figured Mayweather would do some boxing thing with Big Show, since Show was training for boxing during his time off. But the new prowrestling.net site (offshoot of the Torch) says Mayweather is actually going to wrestle. Probably a tag match with Rey against Big Show and maybe Shane McMahon, assuming Rey can go.
