A midget, women wrestlers, and more circus fun

So deep down in my heart what I figured happen happened and what I wanted to happen didn't happen and it was obvious all along what was going to happen. It was like a John Cena title match. Hornswoggle is the "son" of Vince McMahon. Hornswoggle is the half brother of Shane and Stephanie McMahon. Hornswoggle is the half brother in law of Triple H. It's supposed to be funny?

Little people jokes are so archaic. I personally found McMahon's obvious excitement about the child being white the most funny thing in this entire ordeal. A millionaire white man? Duh. In any event, Vince being unhappy because his son is a little person and Triple H laughing hysterically just seemed...size-ist? I suppose since the majority of people found it amusing, and it gives the WWE a bye out of making it a non-Mr. Kennedy "legitimate" wrestler and getting far too much bullshit from us internet babies.

TNA also announced their expansion to a 2 hour show. I once heard a quote from a TNA upper exec about how by the end of 2007 they will have a 2 hour show on Monday nights offering strong competition to the WWE. Finally, in the 10th month out of 12, they'll be one step on their way! I will admit that this is exciting for wrestling fans, as perhaps it means another wrestling organization offering a fun product. Or it just means another hour of life devoted to Kurt Angle..

On perhaps a less expected but still inevitable note, TNA also has announced their plans for a women's division. They seem to have a larger abundance of athletic wrestlers and less "diva" like women, so here's hoping to a TNA women's division to consist of genuine feuds and actual "matches." Though I will admit, WWE is doing some good with Beth Phoenix! ... But alas, they're pushing their Diva Search, which might be the worst thing since Marlena being Brian Pillman's sex slave. Actually, that was kind of funny.

Professional wrestling as a "work" began to exist in fairs and circuses, so it seems appropriate that tomorrow night (omgosh tomorrow!) I'll be attended a Ring of Honor show at the Michigan State Fairgrounds. Holy excitement. The best part, is that I'm dragging 6 of my best friends who all not only dislike wrestling, but despise it, alongside with me. It's their birthday gift to me. :) If you guys are good, I'll post pictures up this weekend.

So the best way for a female college student to spend her prestigious 21st birthday is at an independent wrestling show, right? Ha ha. My birthday isn't until Tuesday and I imagine I'll to a bar or something, but still. I rock.

Later!

Monday Night Roars

Hey folks. Sorry I've been MIA. The new school semester has kicked off in a way much like a Mick Foley death match, hardcore. But no worries, I will make time for my boys (any girls?) who seek entertainment from my blog.

Tonight is a significant episode of Raw. It's finally when we will find out who it is that Senior McMahon is papi to. Last week, WWE denied our assumptions and said Mr Kennedy is not the son. So we must take a moment to look at some viable options.

We were given a clue. "Things are looking up." Who the heck gives a "clue" in this kind of situation? The circus that is professoinal wrestling, I tell ya. The clue can mean someone tall, or someone small, or someone optimistic. Some guesses:


Triple H - WWE.com did a poll and the highest winner was Triple H. Perhaps the kids that click around on the internet are sick f words or dumb smart asses. Either way, I'm 95% sure that the WWE is not nasty enough to have the fake ex husband and the real life husband of Stephanie McMahon wind up to be her brother. The 5% is the cynical me that runs into odd reports of a supposed "incest" angle that the WWE allegedly wanted to do at one point, that I don't believe but don't want to deny to look stupid later on. Like when I said Appalachian State had no chance against Michigan. Or when I said Michigan will avenge their lame loss in a harsh win. Yeah, don't wanna look stupid like that ever again.

Hornswoggle - "Things are looking up." Perhaps The "Little" Bastard is "Vince's" Bastard. He too, after all, "hails from Green Bay, Wisconsion..." This would be a nice way to ease out of making this angle in a big deal after Mr. Kennedy's drugage was made public. A nice out, if you will. I hope not. This would be boring. Maybe I think it's ridiculous or stupid, but a little person as a comedy character can only be so funny. Eh, I think it's kind of mean, but who am I to disagree with pro wrestling stereotypes? A hypocrite?

Stevie Richards - WWE.com's poll had him placed at 2nd, with 18% of the votes. Hm...That's kind of weird, but perhaps he'll show us, we'll see? I don't think I would even enjoy this option, mainly because it would be too forced. Had Stevie been further higher on the roster, I'd love to see him in a position within the main event. It's actually surprising that he never really has, he's always been pretty entertaining.

Paul London - Was it really that big of a deal that he was smiling the night Vince's limo blew up? To be honest, I hadn't even noticed. In all seriousness, I would absolutely love it if this turned out to be the case. I realize that it would make less sense than any of the other theories, but this would be the funniest for hilarious irony. Maybe he can kiss the center of the WWE ring if he was the son. In any event, this certainly will not be the outcome.

Santino Marella - Suspended, right? Hur hur. Plus he's Italian, not Irish. Anda that woulda be sucha disappointment! He's an italiano! This would make the "Miracle in Milan" make even less sense, and be absolutely more ridiculous than what it already is, so don't hold it past the WWE to go this route. Hur hur. Sorry. Sometimes I have to be a lame cynical wrestling fan. And sometimes Jay Lethal pins Kurt Angle cleanly, so let's say WWE will not do this.

The Great Khali, The Big Show, Kane, etc. - "Things are looking up." So obviously that means some sort of tall giant man? Would it really be a good thing to have any of these folk's mothers involved? No. Considering the age that these men show, it would be lame. The Khali having a mother would ruin any seriousness that might still be left (his roaring and gibberish kind of already does that sort of work), and Kane would just have even more of a background that made no sense. And I doubt we'll see The Big Show in WWE ever again, I just have that feeling.

And finally...

Mr. Kennedy - OMG HE'S SUSPENDED IT CAN'T BE HIM!...Why do wrestling websites report "news" when they don't know anything? Um, how about WWE has not reported any of the wrestlers as being suspended, so we don't know for sure. Mr. Kennedy being said as " not" being the child does not mean a thing! Remember when Vince McMahon was the higher power? Wrestling like to pretend the obvious isn't the truth, but ends up "surprising" us with the obvious. I think it still might be him. "Things are looking up." He looks up for the microphone! I realize this is a stretch, but folks need to realize...that pro wrestling is always a stretch. It's entire concept is a stretch of both sports and entertainment. So my money's still on Kennedy.

Who knows though. This is why I'm excited for Raw.

CM Punk, new face of extreme

At the risk of sounding like a cynical and unappreciative wrestling fan, I'm going to hold off on commenting on the whole suspension/steroid rumor filled story that's going on. Instead, I'm going to focus on a reason of why I love to watch wrestling, and that was last night's ECW Title match.

If you didn't catch it, I suggest you do. Canadians, make sure you get to watch it Friday. Non Canadians, download it. It was such a fun match, and John Morrison was spectacular. Let's not forgot CM Punk, even though it is a cliche to love him. He's earned his respect. I lovvvved it!

Hey Raw wasn't that bad, either. It seems as if all the guys who look like they are going to be suspended did great showings this week. Isn't wrestling awesome!?

Anyways, time for the first day of school. Please help me bite my tongue in "Sport Psychology."

WWE Suspends 10 Wrestlers

I'll update on this later....but some of the names included in this story are pretty big....

Bret Hart Book Delayed in U.S....but not Canada!

October 16th was supposed to be the day that Bret Hart's Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling was going to be released. PWInsider.com is reporting that it will not be released until 2008 in the U.S. Being that I am a long term wrestling fan who is very excited to read the (second, way more thick) autobiography by my ALL TIME favorite wrestler, I should be disappointed. But ha, ha, I live 20 minutes outside of Canada, where October 16th remains the date for the book to be released. I'll let all you non-Canadians know how it is. ;)

I'm hoping that it will be better than Mick Foley's Hardcore Diaries. Hard to believe that I expect even Bret Hart's book in which he will be discussing the 1997 "Montreal Screwjob" will be less self-serving than Mick Foley's third autobigraphy.

Oh No! Bryan!!!

Probably the only man to ever make me drool due to his ability to make pretend beating up look so damn real and heinous, Bryan Danielson, has a broken orbital bone and a detached retina. What a horrible injury. Poor guy....I always feel awful when ROH get such harsh injuries because these are the ones that put their bodies on the line more than anyone. They, like all indy wrestlers, do it for practically pennies, and more often then not go unnoticed.

On a completely selfish note, Gabe Sapolsky issued a statement saying that Danielson is recommended to take 4-6 weeks off. If that is indeed the case, looks like I won't be seeing him on either the September 14th Detroit show, or the September 15th Chicago show.

Part of Sapolsky's statement:

Bryan saw an eye specialist today and it was found that he had a detached retina. He had laser surgery today where they re-attached the retina and tightened the muscles surrounding the eye. The reason his eye couldn't come down after the match was because the muscle was loosened. It's an outpatient surgery, so he was released today after having surgery this morning. The surgery went well, and there's a 90% he will regain vision, although it may be blurred.

It is recommended he take 4-6 weeks off. He will have a check up next week and the week after to check on his progress. I promise you all that we will not rush Bryan back. Bryan is maybe the toughest individual I've ever known and that covers a lot of ground. No one saw the locker room scene after almost all of his matches after the shoulder injury and how much pain he was in and how he was able to gut it out at his own insistence. This isn't a guy that takes pain killers or anything even close. He is also a guy that knows his limits. He is just incredibly tough.

I do, seriously, wish him a full recovery. He is genuinely one of the best wrestlers I've ever seen. Here's a little tribute video I found on youtube that can only showcase a grain of this guy's talents.
