DAMN

 

That you, Ron Simmons?

 

DAMN

 

Gee, I wonder why Triple H isn't listed among the names ... could it be that his injury isn't the only thing that's hurting him right now?

Helms being involved means there's a real hurricane coming for WWE

 

Colin Cowherd did a good job imitating Barry Horowitz this morning regarding yesterday's news, and how he was lambasted after his comments immediately after Eddie Guerrero died.

 

Cowherd wasn't wrong a couple of years ago and the WWE fans that threatened him weren't right. He's certainly within his rights to proclaim how right he was, which he did yesterday...over and over.

At points, though, he sounded like he was flat-out celebrating Mr. Guerrero's demise.

Didn't Hulk Hogan already appear before some legislative committee to talk about steroids in wrestling?

Given McMahon's uberheel persona these days, it's almost shocking to see him in this old Letterman appearance, covering the birth of the Late Night Baby:

 

That's comedy gold ... Is that your tux, Vince?

RIP to Larry "Bud" Melman, too.

 

McMahon was on trial during the early 90's for alledged steroid distribution. Hogan actually testified for the prosecution, which led to some real bad blood between the two men for years.

Since the government seems hell bent on cleaning up professional sports (yeah wrestling is entertainment, but athletetic skill is obviously involved given the fact that people are willing to roid' it up), I'm wondering if they'll try to go after Vince again?

 

Surprised Larry King didn't get McMahon on his show to talk about the steroids stuff :

 

That's awesome.
Is it me or does Vince look way smaller through the chest in that clip than he does now? Vince partakes in the juice, no?
