2011 Pro Wrestling Thread

I think they actually might not screw it up ... Rodgers & Matthews on the frontpage of WWE.com right now:

Mentioned this on the Super Bowl headline thread, but I used that picture with the headline "The champs are here"
Anytime you can work a catchphrase into the paper, it's a good day.

 

Look at the front page of WWE.com now. VINNIE MAC IS BACK.

 

Yeah, it said that they were invited to Smackdown. Considering they always show football players in the stands at Raw, they really should bring them out as guest hosts or something like that.

Reminds me of how cool it was that they had gotten Buster Douglas to appear on the Main Event right after he won the title. Originally, they were going to have Tyson, but then Douglas beat him.

 

Wow, that entire last segment was Black Eyed-Peas-worthy.

Between R-Truth screwing up the city, and botching the one jumping spot in the corner, to the ref pulling the chair away from Ryan, only to just put it down on the floor and have Ryan grab it again, that was awful.

 

R-Truth is garbage. That is all.

 

I loved the "Milwaukee" chant.

That's what's up, dumbass.

 

Looks like WWE gave Rodgers the old spinning WWE title that Cena had ... Letterman presented it to him, and it even had "Aaron Rodgers" on the nameplate.

 

No Aaron Rodgers on SmackDown (don't blame him ... dude has to be exhausted after the past couple days), but there are Packers and one plays a role in this week's episode.

 

Just a quick note: I got my copy of Chris Jericho's "Undisputed" in the mail from Amazon.com today. If you order it online today you could get it by the weekend. It's not supposed to be in bookstores until next Tuesday.

Skimmed through it real quick before I have to get to work, including the color photo section. There's a couple of hilarious photos of Jericho and the Rock during a match on the WWF's Asian tour. Apparently, the two had a little "competition" going in which they would swipe the cameras from the ringside photogs while the action was outside the ring and take pictures of each other. The bet was which guy could make the most ridiculous face while he was being shot.

I'll probably get started on the book tonight after work. Might have a little mini-review sometime next week.

 

I want to buy the new Jericho book but he's signing copies in Boston next Thursday and I'll wait until I find out if it's one of those "You have to purchase the book here" book signings before I pick it up.

 

I can't wait for the new Jericho book. He is hilarious. I've heard it's better than the first.

Wish he would come to small-town Midwest, but I'm not holding my breath.
