Back with a vengance

I haven't been posting as much as I would like. Many things I have had to deal with which required my full attention. However, I plan to post as often as I can from here on out. I want to stray from wrestling(not too far away)to mention that I now have a new toy to play with, called an Amazon Kindle 3. Now what does a wrestling fan need with a Kindle? Let's take a look. I searched books about pro wrestling and found the following:

Blood, Tables and Chairs by Dennis T. McHawes

National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Pro Wrestling by Tim Hornbaker

Chris & Nancy: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death by Irvin Muchnick

One I will buy asap

Swimming with Piranhas: Surviving the Politics of Professional Wrestling by Howard Brody and James E Cornette

So you see what is out there on the e-readers for wrestling fans, and more on the way. I am really enjoying this thing.

TNA

I love TNA wrestling. I think that it is the best wrestling out there now. If only the wrestlers would believe it now. I love the poking fun of WWE's "PG" rating. Reality check here, wrestling was never meant to be a "PG" product. Many things which are "PG" were never meant to be "PG". Google Loony Tunes. Those cartoons were for adults when they started out. There were not for kids. Loony Toons morphed into being for kids. Wrestling, with Hulk Hogan, morphed into something for kids. The so-called "Rock and Wrestling" age was kid driven. Wrestling was always for the adults, and TNA sees this. The don't try to dumb down the product. But there are storylines I wish would die a quick death:

1. The Dixie Carter/Hulk Hogan lawsuit: Enough with this already. Everyone knows that Dixie Carter is running TNA. Everyone knows that Eric and Hulk are the "on air" office people. And, everyone knows that this is only to give Hulk time to recover from his 20th back surgery.

2. Bully Ray/Brother Devon fued: Kill this one fast. We all know how this will turn out. Either Bully Ray, or Devon will be facing another oponent, they will be out numbered in the match, and the other will come down and make the save, blah, blah, blah will be said. And the other will say that there is only one man who could ever be his partner, and bam! Team 3D is back in action. I have watched wrestling since the late 60s. Unless they can do something I have never seen, then this is the way it will turn out.

There comes a time when you know you have over stayed your welcome. I wonder when Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, and Ric Flair will ever get that idea? With all of the neck surgerys Angle has been through, he should actually be the first one to say that he is done. Ric Flair, while his wrestling days are over, should settle in to a managers role if he stays any longer. If anybody could ressurect the manager role in wrestling, it would be "Slick Ric". Jeff Jarrett needs to go away. His "MMA" stint was the most absurd thing I have ever seen. A gimpy 10 year old girl could have made him tap out. Anyway, the country bumbkin role is really wearing on me, and I'm from the south!

WWE

Can you smell it? Finally, The Rock has come back...to WWE! To host Wrestlemania 27 in Atlanta, GA, that is. I loved his shot on John Cena, really I did. And I like the fact that they have a wrestler to host Wrestlemania. Then, my heart went down as he announced that Wrestlemania will also have Justin Beiber. Really? (I ask as I hold my nose)

Why do I get the feeling that after this Sunday, that we may actually see Jerry Lawler as WWE Champion? What I do not like is that, just as I said with Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, and Jeff Jarrett, King Lawler should hang up the wrestling boots and stay behind the microphone. Instead, they are trying to sell the "fact" that Lawler has never been world champion. My how we forget the 80s, and that Jerry Lawler defeated Kurt Henning for the AWA World title in Memphis, TN, or the famous feud between he and Kerry Von Eric.

I like Michael Cole,but I am getting tired of him being head cheerleader for the Miz. Let's face it, he is not Francine. But I can see why he would do this. The Miz is the best wrestler out there at this time. And he is AWESOME!!!! I think that there is one more ppv before Wrestlemania, so if they give the belt to Lawler, they could hand it back to the Miz in time for the event. This would add credibility to his reign, and elevate the importance of the Wrestlemania match between he and John Cena(you know that is where this is going).

I'll be back next week with another post. Adios Amigos!
