Back-Leg
Frontkick: 2005 Quasi-Year End
Blowout Edition Or Something Like That!:11/25/05: Featuring: Completely
Random News: Not Really Year In Review! Plus, *ALL NEW*
Material Including WWE Whore Zone, Vince Opens A Wendy's,
And Chappelle's Show: WWE Style! All This Plus Much
More!
Hey all. And welcome back to the column written by
the guy voted "Most handsomest wrestling columnist on the
Internet" three years running...by my Mom, The Back-Leg
Frontkick! Your source for completely infrequent and pointless
wrestling blather! That's
right.
First and foremost, before I
get to the “hilarity” as it were, let me be the first
millionth to say
Rest In Peace to the late great Eddie Guerrero. I pretty much
said my piece at our world famous forums, and don’t wish to be
a broken record, (unless it’s with my parodies…I couldn’t
possibly repost them anymore beyond their point of relevance;
but I’ll be damned if I don’t try) so if you just HAVE to hear
my take,
head over there. But bring women. It’s a fucking sausage factory
in that place.
WWE Whore
Zone?
The other night, the venerable James Walker and I
were idly discussing among other things, the WWE Divas and how
sexually promiscuous WWE has written their characters over the
years. Obviously, the first name to spring to mind was Lita,
who of course is the WWE’s sleazy vixen of the month, and
their current Queen whore. However, unlike the real Amy Dumas
(who let’s just say has reputedly had enough partners that if
the science were possible, her Gynecologist could pretty much
clone the ideal wrestler from ALL the leftover DNA. Creating
in all likelihood, a buck-toothed lanky guy who in turn had an
inherent urge to write emotionally angst-ridden messages
online, wore a mask, and possessed an uncanny Lucha offense.
He may or may not also like to piss on people.), the CHARACTER
of Lita, although definitely promiscuous, actually pails in
comparison to several of WWE’s most beloved Divas. I was
surprised to be
honest.
With that said, the criteria I
came up with is as follows. The character has to have a
somewhat long-term “established relationship” with a wrestler.
Accompanying a wrestler to the ring for one week doesn’t
count. And if WWE has ever alluded to a “sexual relationship”
with any wrestler or personality, it counts. Basically any
allusion to sex of any nature
counts.
Now, with all these intangibles, we came up with
3 frontrunners.
Trish
Stratus: Beloved WWE Women’s Champion. Respected worker.
Whore? Yup. Or so WWE storylines have alluded to. And you know
what’s funny? The bulk of the Trish character’s looseness came
while she was a BABYFACE! (a trait that strangely is prevalent
in the other two frontrunners as
well.)
First and foremost, one could
argue that Test, Albert and Val Venis all got some while under
the management of Trish. The fact that I don’t know anyone who
would want to follow Albert’s monkey-loving notwithstanding.
From there, Trish began an “official* storyline relationship
with Vince, while the Chairman’s wife was comatose. You know
the same old story. Vince’s idea of foreplay was to get Trish down on all fours and have her
bark like a dog; and soon the relationship went south. Go
figure. At some point soon after, Jeff hardy and Trish did a
storyline where the two were alluded to being an item.
However, since Trish didn’t have a penis, or copious amounts
of cocaine, the relationship fizzled as well. Not that Jeff
could remember it though. Around this point, Trish worked her
way up to an alluded “relationship” with The Rock where the
two made out on RAW. Probably much to disdain of Mrs.
Maivia who was seen throwing a pineapple at her TV screen.
From there, the Stratus character would stay clean and
wholesome, until falling for the charms of one Chris Jericho,
before breaking her sizeable heart when she learned that he
bet Christian a Canadian Loonie that he could bed her. If only
it had been an American dollar she thought. Which of course
has a net worth of 300,000 Canadian
dollars….
Of course, she eventually
found solace in the arms of his friend Christian, who began
slipping her the old “peeparoni”, and thus broke Y2J’s heart.
“How could you cheat on
me with my best friend after I deemed your value at about one
dollar?” Jericho
soon asked. This one baffled us
all.
And finally, Trish may or may
not have bedded Tyson Tomko at last year’s Taboo Tuesday. You
see, in their final spat, Christian & Trish argued over
whom would get Tyson in their corner that night. Trish
ultimately won out, after whispering what can only be a
promise of carnal lust if things went her way. It didn’t take
Tomko too long to leave with Trish, and it’s a good thing too.
After spending the last three years in Oswald Penitentiary and
servicing Adebisi, a woman, any woman, looked good. Okay, he
was never on OZ.
Whatever.
Side note: James and I debated
if in fact Viscera should be counted. I ultimately
disqualified him from consideration because Trish did her
damndest to avoid the advances of the big man. Probably for
the best, though. Just finding Big Vis’s genitals would likely
be akin to fishing the remote out of the sofa cushions. Good
choice.
Possible but eliminated considerations: Bubba
Ray Dudley. HHH (in 2001) Kurt Angle
(2001)
Stacy Keibler:
Oh no! Not Stacy! She’s a nice
wholesome girl! Wrong. Well, at least in the kayfabe
world.
Now in order to truly get a
broad scope of Stacy’s sexual improprieties, we must first
journey back to
WCW.
Her first non-Nitro Girl
exposure was as the manager of Lenny & Lodi. Ok, umm,
scratch them. Anyway, in 2000, we learned that Stacy was
“pregnant” while she was rolling around in mud with Major
Gunns. So many women find out this way. This news made David
Flair….her “real life” boyfriend, as well as on TV, very
happy… until he learned that BUFF BAGWELL may have been the
father. However, Buff would have to be out of his Mother’s
sight long enough to procreate, so this is debatable. However,
it didn’t stop David from chasing Buff around that summer
trying to jab him with syringe. You know, something I’m sure
is completely foreign to Buff
Daddy…..
From there, David was to marry
Stacy, but the wedding was interrupted by Vince Russo who was
alluded to, but never officially outed as the Father. The
angle was soon dropped and we were never told if the semen
responsible for spawning the child was derived from Vinnie
Ru’s “spaldings”. The scuttlebutt at the time also suggested
that perhaps The Nature Boy himself was responsible for the
Child. The rumor further stated that it would turn out that
Ric was really Stacy’s father from a night of passion with her
mother twenty year’s prior. This of course would mean that he
was fucking his own daughter! And David was in turn having
relations with his sister! However, WCW was based out
of the south, so who knows?….
From there, Stacy revealed her
pregnancy was all fake and began a relationship with Shawn
Stasiak and his “Meat” until WCW folded. Once in the WWE,
Stacy eventually found herself with The Dudleys. It was never
ever established if the Dudley’s “Got Wood”…then promptly buried
it in her picture perfect ass, but I think it’s within the
realm of possibility. Stacy was also seen grinding her money
maker into the groin of the lead singer of Drowning Pool at
Wrestlemania X8. He killed himself a few months later. (Not a
bad way to go out though,
eh?)
After her stint with the
Dudleys, Stacy found herself
as Vince McMahon’s latest storyline squeeze, ever so briefly.
No doubt just long enough for Vince McMahon to bring his
“grapefruits” down to… Apricots? I don’t know. From there,
Stacy hooked up with Test (her actual real-life beau at the
time) and helped him find his “Testicles” …and not just
because he was on Steroids and that kinda happens. Eventually,
Test started mistreating Stacy, which angered Scott Steiner,
who was known for his chivalry…you know, when he wasn’t trying
to run over people backstage with his Jeep. Soon, Stacy found
herself in the middle of a tug of war between two guys whom
combined, possessed the testicles of a normal man. Eventually,
Stacy moved on, and after a year or so, eventually entered
into a strange storyline relationship with Randy Orton. It was
love at first RKO, as Orton would eventually sever the
relationship by dropping Stacy on her neck. I guess “I don’t
want to see you again” was too cliché. Oh
well.
Side Note: Stacy spent a considerable amount of
time with Rosey & The Hurricane this past year; but as a
rule, Super Heroes don’t tend to “get it on”. I mean look how
long it took Superman to hook up with
Lois
Lane
. Although the fact that one
Superman cum shot would cause her to explode may have played a
part. All things considered. I’m officially filing their
relationship under platonic. So as far as official canon goes,
Hurricane kept his Shining Wizard
holstered.
Torrie Wilson: The
hilarious thing about Torrie, is that 95% of her sexual
exploits took place while she was a babyface. Quite the role
model for young girls her character was. “Girls, when you grow up,
you can put out with every single guy you come across
too!” On second thought, who am I kidding? That’s GREAT
advice.
Anyway, the poor Torrie
character has seen SO much action, you could probably drop a
regulation sized NBA basketball into her cooter and have it
clear all sides.
With that said, much like
Stacy before her, Torrie’s story starts in WCW where she was
introduced in 1999 as nWo’s potential concubine, which pretty
much opens up a whole grotesque myriad of coital
possibilities, not just limited to Horace and Vincent.
However, Nash seemed to take a shining to her, and the former
Diesel likely painted her nether region “Black and White” in
honor of the nWo. ( but mostly white though ;)).
From there, Torrie was awarded
to David Flair as a barter to get him to betray his Father at
Superbrawl. David of course did. Can’t say I blame him. In
fact, I’d admittedly stab my own Father in the heart on the
spot for one night of shallow lust with Ms. Wilson (ok,
probably 15 minutes but don’t tell anyone). Later that year,
Torrie hooked up with Billy Kidman (her longtime boyfriend and
eventual husband) and that eventually segued into a stint with
the Filthy Animals, and God knows what went on there. If
Juventud was bringing ecstasy to the party, who knows what
might have went down? (and no doubt if it did, Kidman was
right there to catch it all on the Kid-cam…).
Eventually, Torrie would
betray Kidman for Shane Douglas. From there, Shane would
practice his other favorite “Belly to Belly” with Torrie,
pretty much until WCW folded. Torrie would then wind up in WWF
in July of 2001, and almost immediately help Vince lose about
2 pounds of water weight, in different areas of the backstage
area, before turning on Vince and leaving him humiliated and
pantsless in front of his wife! Score one for WCW! Wait, Vince
got to feel her up over a two hour period. Fuck WCW. From
there, Torrie would hook up with Tajiri of all people.
However, after time, Tajiri and his Asian penis were not
enough to satisfy Torrie and she moved onto…Maven?! If ever so briefly. The
two were often filmed at locales like WWF New York having
dinner together. This was WWE’s strange way of trying to get
Maven over. Hey, what better way to get guy’s to like
you then to romance a woman they’d never have a chance with?
SCORE! This relationship didn’t last long however, but if
anything good came of their time together, Maven would at
least eventually take a hint from Torrie’s Brazilian (Hey I
bought the Playboy) and finally mow his fucking eyebrows.
Later that year, Torrie
entered into a relationship with Dawn Marie who was seeing her
FATHER. And as only you can when a young woman is seducing
your father… you have NO CHOICE but to give into a night of
depraved lesbianism with her, if only to free Daddy from the
shackles of this evil temptress! We’ve all been there, sister.
Soon, Dawn Marie murdered her Father by fucking him to death,
and this left her to settle their differences the only way you
can… in a court of law! Wrestling ring. This
however ended the free muff, and let Torrie move onto bigger
and better things. Things like Sable….who herself possessed a
disturbing laundry list of Sexual conquests including a Little
Richard impersonator, a gigantic bull dyke, a one legged
teenager…and Vince McMahon.
Sable lusted after Torrie, and
after denying her many times, Torrie finally said “why not?”
and made out with Sable after a Bikini contest.
From there, like star crossed
lovers, Billy Gunn and Torrie found each other. Billy was of
course basically coming off a relationship with Chuck Palumbo
where he more than lived up to his moniker, but ultimately
turned the other cheek so to speak, and returned home to the
rolling valley’s of Pussyville. Mr. Ass and Torrie were
together for about 2 months in storylines, where Billy was
still an “Ass Man” but this time he didn’t have to worry about
a hairy pair of Italian balls below it….or so he thought. You
see, Jamie Noble took an immediate liking to Torrie, much to
the dismay of his girlfriend Nidia, who’d go blind several
months later…and not from looking in a mirror either (I kid).
Noble eventually found himself on the winner’s end of a match
with Billy Gunn, which now meant she had to fuck Noble (which
no doubt would definitely stand up in court. “But your
honor! I pinned her boyfriend. IT’S MY RIGHT.”). Torrie
being a woman of her word, agrees, but somehow the whole thing
turns into a four-way romp with Billy Gunn & Nidia
included. Oh no! Billy is off the wagon! (Fagon?)
Anyway, not much comes of
this. Torrie pretty much stops her fornicating ways for almost
a year, instead channeling her energies into worthwhile things
like winning rigged bikini contests. However, as it always
seems, Torrie somehow found her way back onto the path to Tuna
town, hooking up with fellow Playmate Candice Michele. And
this time she’s brought a dog! …….
Yeesh.
Ok, the contest is over.
Torrie wins hands down (and cocks up.) If the Dick fits you
must acquit. But really, there is no winners. Ok there’s the
guys who laid the pipe. But other than that,
Nada.
Side note: I’m sure, there’s
probably some arguable omissions here, but really, if you
added them…would you really be helping their
cause?...

The Not Really Year In
Review!
In about a month,
every asshole and his brother will be penning a “Year in
Review” column where they’ll give their biased takes on the
Year that was in Professional Wrestling. They’ll be
EVERYWHERE, and they’ll all sound exactly the same. Now,
that’s where I come in. You see, I could write an expansive,
detailed soliloquy on the events of the past calendar year in
the ring, but… I don’t want to? That’s right. You know what
happened. Batista
won the Title; White kids across the nation embraced John Cena
as their hero, decking themselves out in gaudy jewelry in
honor of the Doctor of Thuganomics, before being promptly
stuffed into their lockers by the bigger cooler kids; Jericho,
Christian & The Dudleys left the fold stumbling for new
identities; and Hulk Hogan & HBK battled to see who indeed
possessed wrestling’s hugest and most impressive omnipresent
receding noggin at Summer Slam. It was the Best of Times. It
was the Blurst of times. But you were there, so I’m not really
telling you anything you don’t already know.
So, with that said, I
instead, as I always do, chose to go back and revisit those
stories that either fell through the cracks, or were so absurd
they had to be (re)told. This is the BLFK Year in Review. So,
put on your lobster bibs, it’s about to get
messy.
(Van) Damned If You Do, And (Van) Damned
If You
Don’t
In the last to years,
WWE has rewarded the troops in Iraq with a WWE
appearance. Unfortunately, how they’ve rewarded
them was putting Undertaker in the ring with Heidenreich. Man.
Why not just lob some mustard gas into the crowd instead? In
any event, Vince has said that the trip was “optional”, but
hey, let’s face it. Not going to Iraq for Christmas
was about as optional as Mike Tyson telling a date they have
the option to not sleep with him. However, enter Rob Van Dam,
who actually took Vince up on this “option” and instead spent
Xmas with his family, while poor schmoes like Luther Reigns
hoped to make it out of Baghdad that night with less bullet
holes in his body than he came in
with.
The rumors soon began
flying that RVD had huge heat with the office as a result, but
fortunately(?) he was injured and went on the shelf before any
burying could take place. Lucky him.
In any event, there’s
always this year for RVD to make it up to the Armed Forces.
And the best part? He doesn’t even need to wear any equipment
if by chance chemical war breaks out. I mean, Rob’s always
immerging from gaseous smoke filled areas, so it’d be just
another day at the office for
him.
Cheating
Death, Stealing
Jewelry
Former WWE star Jim
Neidhart and his wife Ellie (Stu Hart's daughter) were accused
of stealing $10,000 in jewelry from the house of John McCann,
a Calgary businessman, between
March and September of 2004. Neidhart ended up selling the
jewelry to a pawn shop, all while no doubt stroking his beard
in a menacing fashion. McCann ended up paying $9,937 to get
the jewelry back. Neidhart's wife claimed that the charges are
"faultless" because the jewelry belonged to McCann's wife, not
McCann himself. She also claimed Vince screwed
Bret.
This story broke me up
for no other reason than my visual of The Anvil decked out in
Cat
burglar gear, slingshot shoulder-tackling himself through the
neighbor’s bay window, cleaning out the goods, then fleeing
the scene after calling out to Ellie, “Come on, baby!”…of
course followed by insane cackling and more beard stroking, as
the fuzz approached. There is a chance I thought too hard
about this,
however.
Pfohl
Speed
Ahead!
Lex “Guy who killed
Elizabeth
” Luger has fallen
on hard times this past couple of years. First his girlfriend
choked to death on his watch, while he likely marveled at how
“spot on” her Great Muta impression was, instead of calling
911. From there, the authorities found enough illegal muscle
enhancing drugs in his town house to fund the entire German
Olympic team for years to come. And finally, earlier this
year, Lex was arrested and charged with DUI after he was awakened from being passed out at
the wheel by a cop, before subsequently taking off, forcing
the Officer to chase him down. My question? Just how fast can
a forty foot Red, White & Blue bus possibly
go?
No
Shit?
Over the past year,
Randy Orton has become the subject of wrestling’s most
hilarious urban legend. Did or did Randy not shit in people’s
Gym Bags? Well, reputed “victim” and former WWE Cup of coffee
Diva, Rochelle Loewen finally put all the rumors to rest. NO.
He DID NOT crap in her bag, although she claimed he was indeed
capable of the feat. However, there WAS a Gym Bag violation
that took place, but it was “suntan lotion” that was smeared
all over her unmentionables according to Loewen. Although,
considering how much young Randall apparently had the burn for
her, I wouldn’t be too sure. And hey, if you get pregnant
after putting on those panties, don’t say I didn’t warn
you!
Dying To
Be On PPV.
In a forgotten tidbit
from earlier this year, Erik Watts, son of Bill Watts, and
maybe the most over-pushed blob of nepotism EVER without the
surname “McMahon”, tried to overdose on drugs one week before
a PPV match with Raven. He survived, and sympathy prevailed
the night of the show as Erik was given the win over Raven;
despite the fact poor Scotty was stoned for 2/3rds of his life
and got jack shit. Tough
World.
In any event, like any
good Father, The Cowboy chose to air Erik’s dirty laundry in
public, you know, rather than quietly trying to help his son.
However, what he wrote (on the Mid-South message board) still
rings out hilarious to me.
“Erik feels (justifies) he
'needs the pain pills' in order to wrestle, because of the
physical toll on his
body.”
The physical toll on
his body? Heh. No wonder Cowboy banned all those off the top
rope spots in WCW! He was REALLY saving Erik from performing
all those death defying 450 splashes he was known for! Makes
perfect sense now! All kidding aside, just how does one “pay a
toll on their body” when their only offense consists of waist
level dropkicks? Never
mind.
TNAcious!
After two years of
toiling in Redneckville, TNA finally moved operations to
Orlando and established themselves as the TRUE alternative to
WWE. An Alternative built around a nepotistic heel champion
who refuses to step out of the Main Event despite the fact
that no one wants to see him on top; lumbering hosses brought
in to work the Main Events, despite the fact the lighter
weight guys put on better shows; and saturating the PPV market
with too many shows. Wait. If I didn’t know better, I’d say
they were the
WWE!
All kidding aside, TNA
has really stepped up in the last 6 months, and in a lot of
people’s opinions their PPV quality has even surpassed that of
WWE’s (even with stacked match-ups like Eugene & Jimmy
Snuka against Rob Conway & Tyson Tomko. Even!).
Congratulations TNA. Now maybe you can start getting those
assholes who chant Hoyt for two hours straight to actually pay
for their
tickets….
X-Pacalypse
Now
We all know Sean Waltman has had his issues with
drug dependency. And if I had sex with Chyna, especially on
camera, I think I too would turn to any and all barbiturates I
could get my grubby mitts on. Luckily though, in Waltman’s
case, he’s seemed to have cleaned himself up. Watching that
One Night In Chyna video has a strange way of sobering up a
brother fast.
In any event, earlier this year, the X-Pac/Joanie
Laurer “love”
story took a hilarious turn, when X-Pac went on record saying
that Joanie basically assaulted
him. Here’s it is in his own
words:
"Joanie (Laurer) was arrested on 1/1 for domestic
battery. She assaulted me, struck me in the head and face
countless times after getting back from the Playboy Mansion.
There were several witnesses to her behavior, including Jeff
Meecham from The Extreme Mayhem Show, and unfortunately, my
two children witnessed and heard all of this. She was released
today, once again, having to suffer no consequences for her
behavior. She showed no remorse."
Who the fuck would
ever admit that their girlfriend basically kicked the shit out
of them? And am I to believe this all went down without him
breaking out one wheel kick or X-Factor! That shit works in
real life! I swear! Vince wouldn’t lie to us! Oh well, I guess
he’s a gentleman. But to me, chivalry tends to go out the
window when your girlfriend has a bigger penis than you. Just
saying.
Quick,
Hide The Pot! (Not
RVD)
Rhyno was seemingly on
top of the World. He was main-eventing Heat every week; he
hadn’t seen a PPV pay day in months; and he was completely
buried and mired in the midcard. Things couldn’t have been
better. But it all went downhill fast for the Man-Beast, when
his wife informed him Wrestlemania weekend that she was about
to leave the country, and take his kid with her. So, Rhyno did
what any man would do in the same situation. He hurled
his huge body through the first potted plant
he saw in the Hotel. We’ve all been there, big
man. Luckily, Tommy Dreamer was on the scene to break things
up. One could point out the irony that it was just like old
times again in ECW, with obliterated furniture, a screaming
woman, an insane Rhyno pacing around looking to kill someone,
and Tommy with the heroic babyface “save”. And that “one”
would be me. EC-dub! EC-dub!
EC-dub!
Queering Doesn’t
Make The World Work!
You’d never know to look at him that
Warrior was possibly insane. You know, when you discount the
fact that he talked to his hands, is completely
unintelligible, always speaks in the 3rd person, and has the name
“Warrior” on his Drivers license. Wait. I take it back.
Anyway, for 3 years now, Warrior has been
this website’s *unofficial* muse, giving us COUNTLESS pages of
material for MONTHS. And what transpired in early April of
this year was no different. You see, this was the night
Warrior spoke at a conservative lecture at the University of
Connecticut, and eventually, he opened up the floor for
questions. From there, Warrior, when asked about homosexuality
uttered the now infamous phrase:
“Queering Doesn’t Make The World Work”. However, I
think even Warrior will admit that it’s a pretty damn
effective way to maintain your Main Event push….
In
any event, yours truly was the first one to jump on this
story, and soon I felt the full wrath of Warrior. Ok, it was
actually his minion “Chris Lewis”, Director of Warriors and
all things of a Warrior nature, who tried as he might to crush
me beneath the mighty weight of Destrucity; attacking me in
word with the same ferocity of one of Warrior’s absolutely
terribly worked punches. And all because I questioned how a
dude who cupped guys junk for a living and wore Speedos 95% of
the time would cast the first stone against homosexuality.
However, rather than relay this whole
sorted mess again, I’ll just re-direct you to
the follow up
article in question.
WARRIAH!
One Snake That Didn’t Go Hungry
When we last heard from Jake Roberts, he
was wanted in England for allegedly starving Damian to death
(not the Anti-Christ). And although I was glad that 14 years
later, Earthquake was finally off
the hook for a murder he did not commit, I wondered if we’d
ever see Jake again. I got my answer a few weeks before
Wrestlemania, when Jake was a guest of Chris Jericho on the
highlight reel. And when he emerged from beyond the curtain I
was blown away. “Ladies and gentlemen Jake The Snake Roberts
cannot be with us this evening, but here’s the man who
consumed him, Folk songmeister David Crosby!” Wow. This guy is
a workhorse. He’s got time to impregnate lesbians and drop the
DDT. I take my hat off to him. Let’s see Stills and Nash do
that! Ok, Ok, it wasn’t Crosby, but damn did he look like
him. Maybe it was the walrus mustache. Who knows? But still,
it was cool to see Jake, one of my favorites again, even if he
did look like WWE probably dropped him back into the Arctic
after the show; where he could at least finish out his days
eating seals. Goo goo g’joob.
Life On (And Under) The Edge!
By
now you’ve all heard the Edge/Lita/Matt Hardy story ad nauseam
(mostly by me), However, outside of Eddie Guerrero’s tragic
death, it was easily the biggest wrestling story of the year.
A Love story. A story of boy meets girl, boy pretends she
hasn’t slept with hundreds of Luchadors, boy gets injured, so
girl has an affair with his best friend, boy goes insane and
runs over her likeness with his corvette while being armed
with more heavily artillery than the fucking Punisher. You
know, same old story.
The story soon spilled over into WWE
storylines. Crowds were merciless. The first victim was Kane,
who was “married to Lita” and when Lita betrayed and left him
(And if a marriage can’t be built on the principles of forced
sex, terror and sadism, than clearly there’s no hope for us
all) no one had any sympathy for the Big Red Machine, because
everyone saw through the storyline, and knew Matt was the real victim. However, eventually emo
tears would dry on the fat swollen faces of teenage girls
across the country, because their hero, Matt Hardy was finally
coming home! Matt Hardy was heard crying for all to hear “I
will not die!” to which Vince probably answered “Good, it’ll
be kind of awkward for everyone on the roster to pin you if
you do”. Anyway, Matt and Edge
warred. Blood was spilled. We got to see 7/8ths of Lita’s
titties on a weekly basis. And then it was over. Edge and Matt
would war for the “Money in the Bank” (now half of that thanks
to the now Mrs. Edge likely:)) and afterwards, Matt was exiled
to SmackDown where he’s actually prospering. See there are
happy endings! Oh wait. The Adulterer won. Scratch that….
In
any event, Matt has moved on with his life as he’s now dating
Diva Search Winner Ashley. Good. At least Matt can start anew
with a woman who is the complete opposite of Lita. You know, a
goth-punk who blows a ton of spots in the ring. Hey wait!
But still, the moral of this story?
Anyone, whose conquests include a person named “Fishman”, is
probably not someone you should ever consider having a
relationship with.
Dropping Legs And
Laying Eggs.
For years, the only brainless creature
running around in circles with zero direction on Hulk Hogan’s
property was Brutus Beefcake. This all changed earlier this
year. Before his show “Hogan Knows Best” went to air (Hey,
I’ve seen his ideas in WCW, Hogan knows shit), the stark
ravin’ Hulkster made the news when the family’s pet rooster
become a bone of contention amongst neighbors due to the
obvious crowing. The city council decided the bird’s fate and
it didn’t look good. And the worst part? Hulk could no longer
hilariously ask strangers if they want to see his “cock”, and
not get arrested for it.
Anyway, at the end of the day, the only
“animals” allowed to run wild (along with Hulkamania) were the
24 inch pythons, dude.
Beware The Beast Man.
Once upon a time, Kurt Angle used to
preach the benefits of abstinence. Then he discovered the joys
of bestiality. Or something like that. You see, earlier this
year, we discovered Angle had contracted a little jungle
fever, and looked forward to the time when he could mount
Booker T’s wife Sharmell in the old Referee’s position.
However, as weeks past, Angle began insisting that he’d like
to perform on Sharmell, and I quote, “some of that dirty
bestiality sex”. Man. Either Angle never actually bothered
looking up the term, or his opinion of Mrs. umm, T? was a
little low. And if it’s the latter, thankfully Angle chose to
pursue Freestyle wrestling for a living and not say,
Sheepherding. (A job I always thought would become obsolete
once the fence was invented…)
In
any event. Angle moved to RAW, and left bestiality behind. And
it’s a good thing he and Batista never really crossed paths,
‘cause Lord knows what may have happened…
Mysterio Solved!
He
lies! He cheats! He umm, provides the necessary sperm to
father another man’s son!? This is the little tidbit of
storyline info we received during the Rey Mysterio/Eddie
Guerrero feud from this past spring/summer. You see,
apparently Rey-Rey was shooting “blanks” and was unable to
provide the seed possible to create a Rey Mysterio, junior,
junior. And sure, one could
argue that whatever caused buddy’s eyes to turn fucking white
probably also wreaked havoc on his balls. But whatever. Enter
Eddie. He had enough "Latino Heat" to get the job done... and
presto! Enter Dominic, who was in turn “adopted” by The
Mysterios.
All was fine in the Mysterio house, until
Eddie revealed the horrible secret. Dominic would never look
at his father the same way again. Although, that’s probably
more because Dominic doesn’t know what his dad really looks
like because he’s always wearing a fucking mask all the time.
But I digress.
Somewhere along the line, Eddie decided
he wanted to take back his “son” and him and Rey settled the
custody the way it’s always been
done: in a winner takes all Ladder Match! Ultimately, Rey won,
and they were a happy family again. And finally Dominic could
get back to the innocence of childhood. Innocence that likely
included going to the playground and swinging around the
equipment, kicking other children in the face with his feet.
Dad would be SO proud.
The Great Midcard Purge
Unfortunately, in order to pay for sound
future financial investments like “Eye Scream Man”, The RAW
Divas Search, The Juniors! and Liposuction for Steph, the axe
had to fall somewhere in the WWE. And where it fell was the
WWE midcard. Many superstars were let go over the next few
months including but not limited to Kidman, Charlie Haas,
Jackie Gayda, Rhyno (who still got to be called “Rhino”
because WWE are imbeciles when it comes to grammar apparently)
and most notably the Dudleys. The latter of which were hit
hardest, having been stripped of their identity, and sent
packing. Eventually they found their way to TNA, and became
Team 3D. And not Team “Team WWF”
(World Wildlife Fund) as I had hoped;
complete with matching panda suits, if only to get back at the
scummy WWE for stealing the characters THEY invented.
Christian eventually followed suit, but
was lucky to come out of the deal almost unscathed,
trade-marking the name “Christian Cage” when he went to TNA.
Sure beats my choices of Episcopalian or Benedictine, that’s
for sure.
Here Comes
The Pain! Wait. Nope, There It Goes.
After his dreams of joining the NFL
fizzled, Brock had a choice to make. He could make his living
piling into a Yugo with 10 other assholes named “Milos” and
play for NFL Europe, or he could go back to McMahonland and
play his cards. You see, he was unable to wrestle anywhere
else, because he signed a 10 year no-compete clause, and like
Mark Henry whose paid the penance of the deal over 9 years by
getting fellated by a transvestite and impregnating an elderly
woman, so to would Lesnar be a slave to the WWE if indeed he
went back to wrestling.
With that said, last Summer, WWE and
Lesnar were apparently incredibly close on a deal, but the two
couldn’t come to terms on several issues including salary and
the amount of days Brock would work. WWE wouldn’t budge, and
sadly, Brock couldn’t even barter Sable’s services to ensure
things went his way, as she had disintegrated in the car ride
over. And yes, I just wanted to make that joke.
Ultimately, with WWE no longer an option,
Brock headed off to Japan, a place that even though he might
be on Steroids, he could still have the biggest genitals in
the locker room.
UPN Cancels Hassan
As
we all know, Muhammad Hassan was killed off in WWE storylines.
Murdered by The Undertaker. And all because UPN figured that
Hassan’s “sympathizers” were really “terrorists”. But aren’t
“terrorists” supposed to inspire “terror”? You know rather
than hilarity? I mean, I think it was fairly obvious it was a
bunch of swollen white guys under the hoods and desert
camouflage (Detroit is KNOWN for its deserts after all. Gotta
blend in!)
In
any event, the handwriting was on the wall for Muhammad and it
wasn’t good. And sure, Undertaker had been burned, stabbed,
blown up, and crushed MANY times before, but that was all done
by God fearing Americans, damn it! (well, except Kamala, but
we never had issues with Uganda as far as I know). Oh well.
UPN can’t be held responsible. They do have an image of
integrity to uphold. The Network just can’t be sullied with
that kind of content, when there’s wholesome quality shows
like The Mullets to produce!
All Brets Are Off.
After years of swearing death upon each
other, Vince McMahon and Bret Hart have finally buried the
hatchet, and not in each other’s skulls. The two actually came
together to produce the DVD that will chronicle Bret’s
wrestling career, and no doubt, Bret likely agreed to the
terms if only to preserve his legacy.
Originally, prior to Bret agreeing to be
part of the works, the disc was to feature the Montreal finish
looping repeatedly for two hours straight while the Benny Hill
theme played continuously in the background. While from
there, the special Easter egg features Shawn, Earl and
Vince breaking into Bret’s Calgary home in the dead of night;
HBK placing a slumbering Hitman in the Sharpshooter, while
Earl rang a makeshift bell while they all laughed and pointed,
before once again scurrying off into the night. Clearly
Bret made the right decision.
Introducing The Bob
Holly Wrestling Academy!
In
my travels across this fair Internet in late Summer, I
accidentally came across a link to The Bob Holly Wrestling
Academy! A place where YOU, John Q. Fatbody, can
finally learn the basics, all from the man himself...
basics like bumping, bleeding from the mouth, spitting
out your teeth, and having your trust completely violated. Oh,
and let's not us forget you will inherit the ability to LEAP
INTO THE AIR AS IF GOD WAS YOUR WINGS AND PLANT YOUR FEET IN
ANOTHER MAN'S FACE. And if you're really lucky, people will
christen you the best in the world at it. Even if you possess
no other discernable talents. And yes, you'll have to PAY for
these HONORS.
And I've just been informed that since
Bob Holly only has enough flailing limbs to properly
annihilate no more than two trainees at one time, he'll have
guest instructors like BILLY GUNN also showing you tricks of
the trade. You know, "time honored traditions"
like how to get by on look alone, and blowing up five minutes
into a match. And there's no doubt YOU can be a superstar
too...if you take the advice given and do the complete
opposite of it. So what are you waiting for, a kick in the
fucking mouth? No, I mean, seriously. You'll be kicked in the
mouth.
Anyway,
while checking out the site found here, you will see the GREATEST
and most inspiring message EVER (found in his comments
section) :
"At a time when
too much of the world thinks the typical American is just a
bitter, witless bully who abuses his position because he can,
it's important that they get to see another side. I think Bob
Holly is the antidote. I think Bob Holly is freedom."
Testify.
Nash’s to Ashes. Dust to Dust.
When TNA finally got its primetime slot
on Spike TV, they needed a main eventer; they needed a man who
personified “Total Nonstop Action” (well, if you’re talking
about how many ring rats he’s fucked); They needed KEVIN NASH.
And who better to put asses in the seats than a man who holds
WWE’s record for putting the least amount of them into them?
Oh yeah, that’s right, ANYBODY.
But still, fate was not smiling on the
latest “well deserved” foray into the top of the card for
Kevin Nash. And the weekend of Bound For Glory, the stress of
expending absolutely no energy whatsoever for a year was too
much for him to take. And naturally he suffered a heart attack
as a result. So let me be the first one to say, slow down,
Kev! You’re too hard on yourself! Get well, big man!
Rectum? Damn Near Killed Him!
You know, most bosses just don’t have the
common courtesy to knee you in the groin when you’re fired.
They just let you go, maybe throw you a party, and leave you
with a fairly decent severance package. But not the McMahons.
They truly CARE about their employees. I mean, why air a nice
tribute video showcasing your appreciation for their many
years of service, when you can just air, I don’t know, a video
making light of colon cancer!? Sounds about right. Oh, and the
best part? There’s no silver lining! You’re not coming back!
Your best friend who’s “defending” you on TV is booked to
lose! It’s totally and completely futile. Man, I love this
company.
In
any event, while Vince was pulling JR’s head out of his ass
(although it looked more like V.P. Dick Cheney to me, see
here)
he might as well have booked an appointment to have his own
rectum given an exam. I mean, only a huge asshole could create
this much shit, right?
Let’s Get Retarded
Eugene, wrestling’s most celebrated
mongoloid, was suspended indefinitely for overdosing on what
has been revealed to be somas. He’s been since sent to rehab.
Man, Eugene. Don’t you know drugs can give you brain damage?
You don’t want to end up a retard, do you?
Seriously though, the guy was actually
expected to be that character by the WWE EVERYWHERE. I wish I
were kidding. And with that in mind, if the guy was stoned, would you really be able
to tell the difference? Who could? “I
think there’s something wrong with Eugene! He seems to be
acting all coherent and normal. I tried to give him some glue
to eat, but he just swatted it out of my hands. I’m really
worried about him.”
Ah, I kid. Get better buddy.
That’s Mr. Dog Face to You.
In
the one of the most hilarious stories in while, Rick Steiner,
last seen using Lash Leroux’s quasi-lifeless body as a speed
bag in 2001 on Nitro, has now retired from wrestling (he
apparently had been selling Real Estate. “This dining room is so quaint. You could
over-head belly to belly, 5 maybe 6 people in here! It’s just
perfect for you!”) but apparently, he’s ran, and WON a
seat on the Cherokee County school board. And I don’t know
about you, but clearly I want the education of my children in
the hands of a man who once lost a verbal debate to fucking
Chucky from Child’s Play.
Anyway, the article (read
here)
goes onto say “Steiner praised the
district's anti-bullying program”. This is too much. Rick went on to say “Ya, to hell with the bullies! We should
stiff them and bloody ‘em up until they stop their bullying!
And we should get the bigger, stronger kids to help us do it!
Hoo, hoo, hoo!” Ok, clearly, he didn’t say that.
Whatever.
Better Not Bring Yo' Kids!
Last September, rumors began
swirling that at some point, Vince had seen Comedy Central’s
Chappelle’s show, and became inspired to create a character
(or characters) based on some the sketches. Ultimately,
nothing came of this. And I’m sure that sat well with those
black wrestlers backstage who’d have likely been forced to go
up to Stephanie and say “I wish I had 2 more hands. So I could
give them titties four thumbs down!” Sadly, we’ll never
know.
However, this didn’t keep
Harry & I from speculating how WWE might have been
different had Vince implemented these characters.
Obviously, it’d be safe to
assume that Matt Hardy would be subjected to “When keepin’ it
real, goes wrong”. And from there, mostly due to the bald head
and huge moustache, the Immortal Hulk Hogan would be
repackaged as… ORANGE GALLAGHER; destroying watermelons with
the atomic leg drop, and if the situation called for it, the
awesome will of HULKAMANIA alone. And from there, we’d all
bear witness to Pro Wrestling’s first ever Racial Draft!:
“The blacks have just
taken back John Cena. He is now 100% black. But wait. The
white delegation has just countered this coup by claming
Jonathan Coachman as their own. This just in. The
Black Delegation will agree to this trade so long as the
Jewish Delegation agrees to take back Marc Mero".
And of
course, the Chappelle tribute would not be complete without
Lil Jon! Here’s what you might have seen (thanks to Harry for
this) had Shelton Benjamin been forced into the
role:
Johnny Ace: Shelton, can I talk to
you for a minute?
Lil Shelton: WHAT?
Johnny Ace: Shelton,
can I talk to you for a minute?
Lil Shelton: WHAT?
Johnny Ace: Shelton,
can I talk to you for a minute?
Lil Shelton: YEAAAAAAAAAAH!
Johnny Ace: I'm
sorry, but we're going to have to release you.
Lil Shelton:
WHAT?
Johnny Ace: I'm
sorry, but we're going to have to release you.
Lil Shelton:
WHAT?
Johnny Ace: I'm
sorry, but we're going to have to release you.
Lil Shelton:
WHAT?
Johnny Ace: (Sighs)
...never mind.
Lil Shelton: OKAAAAAAAAY!!
Unfortunately, we may never have known
what Vince may have had in store for us. Thank
God.
WWEndy’s!
Not much has been
made of this online, which I’ve found surprising, but HHH has
recently been featured in commercial ads for Wendy’s. He’s
seen for a fraction of a second, proudly proclaiming his love
and admiration for “his” patented hamburger: Triple Beef! Also
appearing in the spots was Verne “Mini Me” Troyer. And I think
based on the rub alone of a mega star like Mini Me, we can
safely say that this means that HHH can now consider himself
among the upper echelon of Hollywood royalty.
Now, with that said. James
Walker and I, several weeks ago were discussing
just this. And it got me to thinking. What if Vince McMahon,
in an attempt to branch out, purchased the Wendy’s franchise,
and ran it his way? What would the menu be like?
Which WWE superstars would work there, and if so, what would
they do? Etc.
First, obviously, the ENTIRE franchise
would be built around the sheer deliciousness of TRIPLE BEEF;
primarily because no other sandwich could work main menu in a
believable fashion. Other large oversized hamburgers would
also litter the menu, with the lower calorie, and lighter
meals being unfortunately relegated to a drive thru that no
one ever goes through.
Some items on the menu could potentially
include the “RVD baked potato”, because after all, who knows
more about dishing out potatoes, and being baked than our Mr.
Monday Night?
No doubt people will
be somewhat queasy when they discover Gene Snitsky is handling
the meat in the back. And from there, the odd accident may
occur, not limited to Big Show freezing to death in the stock
freezer, passing out with a swollen stomach after devouring
all the condiments. Nathan Jones will also likely be brought
back, if only to provide custom-made milk shakes…straight from
his own glands! Who says the unnatural side effects of
steroids can’t be useful? And sure, there will probably be
some more snafus along the way. Take Booker T. for example.
Old habits will die hard for the Book, when he’ll be compelled
to relive his youthful indiscretions, by slipping on a wool
balaclava and stealing all the money in the till… before
scurrying out the pick-up window where Sharmelle will be
waiting with a started car. However, he’ll be immediately
busted and fired, because he didn’t have the good sense to
first change his monogrammed Booker T. trunks before pulling
off the heist. Too bad.
From there, Vince will begin utilizing
some of his classic business techniques, including stealing
the fry cook away from the competing Burger King. Only to send
him off to work at a mall food court for “seasoning”, before
ultimately firing him altogether. People however will rejoice
when the underutilized and underappreciated salad bar makes
the jump to McDonalds. It’ll all be a learning curve,
really.
As
for the service itself, I can imagine the following exchange
between customer and cashier over the limitedness of the
menu:
Customer: “Do
you have anything smaller? All these huge patties are getting
a little monotonous.”
Cashier: “You
just don’t “get” it! No one wants to eat the hamburger you
want. It doesn’t draw! Its job is to enhance the Triple Beef.
You don’t want it. Trust me.”
However, long before you’d ever even get to take your order, HHH
would come out, and you’d first have to listen to him describe
the specials for upwards of 30 consecutive minutes, until he’s
completely beating a dead horse (not Triple Beef) before any
of the cooking even starts. The whole process will also likely
end with Trips getting up on the counter and taking a huge
gulp of your “Biggie” drink and subsequently spewing it onto
the line-up of horrified potential customers. Good times.
And of course finally, despite the fact
that there’s pretty much the same thing on the menu constantly
(well, except on Taboo Tuesdays where the customer can have
his choice of any three TRIPLE BEEFS they wanted. They’ll have
all the power!) Vince will address the staff in an attempt to
turn things around.
Vince: "Ok guys. Business is slow.
No one is really buying Triple Beef it seems. So, obviously,
that means we’ll have to make some big changes as it pertains
to Triple Beef. And I think the most logical way that can be
done is….. Menu cuts! Clearly, the less options there are, the
more people will be FORCED to order the Triple Beef. Right? It
HAS to
work!"
On
second thought, I don’t know about WWEndy’s. I think I’d
rather just eat at a TNA restaurant. Sure all the food looks
the same, and the menu is chaotic and somewhat nonsensical,
but the service is at least fast; even if Don West telling me
that “this is the greatest burger I’ve ever
seen in my life!” every time I order might get old pretty
quickly. But, even if I do get tired of that, I can always sue
them when the Jarrett Burger gives me food poisoning. Sounds
like a plan.
