When your favorite disappoints: Reply to “Goldstein On Rasslin’”

I never had anybody I looked up to in the wrestling world, because growing up it wasn’t as much of an interest for me as it is now.  I don’t know what it’s like to have a wrestler disappoint you.  I could only comment on when (or if) my favorite disappoints me.

A lot of wresters fall from grace.

If you are into wrestling, you have a favorite.

It is easier to fall in the indy world, which is the world I chose to live in.

I made the perfect choice when it comes to my Indy favorite:

He is not a perfect person, but he tries to be a genuinely good person, and the fact that he also managed to become one of my best “online” friends, and whom I lovingly refer to as my “Cyber Husband”, is an added bonus.  That does not mean that I ever thought for a moment that any aspect of our friendship was or is ever “for sale”.  Celebrities of any level are not public property and they deserve a private life just as much as anyone else.  They should not have to worry about video phones, hidden cameras, screen shots, “stalkerazzi” parking and watching their house all day or going through their trash, text messages, etc. ruining their careers and their family and friend’s lives, no matter how much one dislikes them.  It is immature to think otherwise.

We all fail.  Not everything in life goes according to your plan.  We all get rejected.  I’m a freelance writer: to be a writer is to be rejected constantly.  Have those failures and those countless rejections ever managed to stop me?  Never.  I write even though it causes me to be a starving artist because it makes me happy.  I live off the grid as much as possible.  I am the diet version of Henry Miller.  All of the passion and focus for writing without the pesky plagiarism and constant begging for money, while being a single mother of an Autistic child to boot.

My hero is my sister.

My favorite is J. Pro.

Aw, bless his lil’ power ranger heart! #jasondavidfrank #UFC @CMPunk

Wrestlemania XXIX Review (or “Nothing New Or Interesting Happened”)

stuartreviewsstuff

So I’ve been out of action for almost a fortnight now having been struck down with food poisoning, but I’m certainly feeling more sprightly this week.

It’s definitely the morning after the night before for me though as I only recently managed to get to bed after staying up with friends for a yearly tradition; watching Wrestlemania.

Now I know instantly some regular readers will balk at this review because of the subject matter, but hey, don’t like it, don’t read it 😉

Anyway, going in to watching WrestleMania XXIX (or as the Sky Planner incorrectly named it, WrestleMania XXVIIII…idiots) I can’t say I was particularly energised about it.

WrestleMania is supposed to be the Season Finale for WWE. The centrepiece show to wrap up a year of storylines and matches where all the performers bring their A Game to the table.

It’s supposed to have all the big matches, the top…

Do You Remember When…?

Ringsidehustle.com

Last Monday was the 1000th episode of Raw. It definitely didn’t disappoint. So much occurred that it left us in awe and anticipating what will happen next week.  There have been so many great moments in Raw history. Whether it be Raw’s first episode, Stone Cold stunning Vince for the first time, John Cena getting drafted to Raw, Punk’s epic shoot promo, Edge and Lita’s live sex celebration, or countless others. It’s easy for any Wrestling fan to pick a moment the majority of the fans already remember and talk about it, but that’s not how we do things around here. This week I’m taking a moment that not many of you would possibly remember. It deals with Santino Marella and perhaps the greatest IC Champion of all the times.

Do you remember when Santino had the Honk-a-Meter?

The sparkly vest…..WHY????

John Cena dressed as Zack Ryder

RAW Deal – 11.21.11

*As much as I don’t like CM Punk as a person, he’s proved me wrong as a worker and deserves to be the WWE champion. I wonder how much Vince fined his new champion for referring to himself as a pro wrestler instead of a sports entertainer.

*Punk says he wants bring change…How about changing the bling bling title for something more respectable that a champion should be wearing.

*Wasn’t movie star Jonah Hill scheduled to be the guest host of RAW last night? What the hell happened? Believe me when I say, NOBODY was tuning in because Jonah Hill was hosting. Movie stars are NOT a draw on a wrestling show. Wrestling IS the draw!

*Can anybody explain to me what point was to put Zack Ryder in a squash match against Alberto Del Rio? Rather than give the kid a push, they have him doing job matches. How is that ever going to help him progress to stardom? Let alone, a superstar where the WWE can continue to profit from his likeness and gimmick?

*Nash’s returning character is more of a bitter old man who can’t let go of the past. His promos are geared more to fans of my generation whose ears raise when they hear mentions of the golden days of the business . The more this feud between Triple H and Kevin Nash drags out, the more it’ll feel like two old guys who can’t come to terms with their age and refuse to let go of their past. In other words, they’ll sound like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan.

*I gained a whole new respect for Cody Rhodes when he re-introduced the classic Intercontinental title design, and I am very impressed with the concept of a program with Booker T. This programs will help properly establish Cody by working with a veteran rather than someone at his own experience level. This little feud is exactly what EVERY young talent on the roster needs. Hats off to Cody Rhodes …now does anybody know what the hell ever happened to Ted Dibiasie Jr.?

*Punk’s match with Dolph Ziggler was nothing short of INCREDIBLE! As much as I loved the match, I couldn’t believe that the WWE was giving an exhibition of this caliber away for FREE! On the flip side of the coin, I’m kind of glad they did because I REFUSE to pay $59.95 for a WWE PPV. As I have been saying for weeks – Dolph Ziggler is one of the top 5 talents WWE has on their roster and in due time, he will easily be the face of the company. I believe in the prophecy. Even though he lost the match, it made him an absolute star! There is no denying his talent and ability. And this takes NOTHING away from CM Punk. As champion, he proved to be the ring general last night and for the first time in a long time – I saw an extremely bright future for the WWE!

*Here is something that legitimately bothers me – why doesn’t WWE stick to the brand extension? As much as I absolutely HATE the RAW/Smackdown brand split, if you;re going to do something then you should stick with it. Now it’s not so much the concept of supershows and cross promotions between the brands. It’s the fact of having two heavyweight championships on one show. What’s the point? If I had the booking pencil in the WWE, I’d have BOTH champions in the Royal Rumble – and would have one of them actually win it. The following night on RAW, that champion would challenge the OTHER champion to a match at Wrestlemania to declare an undisputed world heavyweight champion. But having both of them on one show is beyond moronic – because the “visiting” champion will always look weaker when they don’t have home brand advantage.

*WWE needs to do some more work with Wade Barrett. He has the tools to be a star (eventually) but he’s missing some key parts. One thing is his finisher. Here is a guy who is being promoted as tough as nails, yet his finisher is a front Samoan drop. He does more damage throughout the match than he does with the weak finisher. Why isn’t talent kicking out of it? Considering that Brock Lesnar won’t be making a comeback, perhaps Barrett should adopt a variation of the F5? He has the height and strength to pull it off and make it more effective.

*And then we get to the finale…The Miz turns on R-Truth. What a HUGE mistake! Miz and Truth were genuine heat seekers. So why split them apart? Especially so soon? This split was a huge mistake not just on a creative level, but on a level of establishing and retaining value for your stars.

Raw is a FAMILY FRIENDLY show. 0_o

The Lost “Macho Man” Randy Savage Shoot Interview

WWE’s Tough Enough

I’m Team Matt Cross, which if you know me as a wrestling fan, that shouldn’t surprise you a bit. I’ve been following his career since about 2003. Damn I’m old.

Maybe since Seaside is only an hour away, I could go to the t-shirt shop as seen on Jersey Shore and make a Team Matt Cross t shirt. That would be pretty awesome. It would be Lexi’s first time at the beach as well. What would be super cute is if I got a toddler sized “Team Matt Cross” shirt: I’m sure Matt would love a pic of that! She is my little wrestler, after all. She has loved it when I wrestler her (gently of course) on the living room couch or on my bed since she started to walk. If she asks to be a wrestler in high school I would be overjoyed. (Of course she can be whatever she wants to be but if she chose to be a wrestler that would be awesomesauce to me.)

All I know is I’m going to have one hell of a tomboy on my hands!

I digress.

I see a couple of people on that show who might give him a run for his money, but I really think Matt could win this if he really wanted to.

I wish him luck!

UPDATE 4/13/2011:

Matt was unfortunately voted off, but he had the best career out of all those wrestlers even without having been on Tough Enough, only now people who only pay attention to the WWE get to look him up and see how great he is.

The Zbsyzko vs Jericho War Continues

If you caught one of my last posts, you’ll see the self proclaimed “Living Legend” attempt to shit on one of the most talented and most decorated wrestlers in WWE history, Chris Jericho. Now, Larry Z gets his homeboy Scott “Got Any Drugs?” Hall to chime in in the latest episode of Last Call With Scott Hall. Fuck sending you to YouTube when I can bring YouTube to you. Check out the video below.

This video and feud is instigated with help by DieHard Pro Wrestling

Don’t forget to check out a new fan site dedicated to the exclusive online wrestling videos brought to you by DieHard Pro Wrestling.

Larry Zbyszko Responds To and Buries Chris Jericho on Comments Made in His New Book

Talk about some funny shit…. Take a look at the self proclaimed living legend (with Rogaine in his hair) trying to bury WWE mega star and world class entertainer, Chris Jericho, over comments made in Jericho’s new book.

Larry Z is being egged on by the douchebag behind the camera, the obvious John Cena mark sitting at the table and the dirty rat who looks like she just cleaned herself up after an all night gang bang in Larryland with his crypt-keeping friends. I guess this is what some people have to do to stay relevant in the business.

36 Minute Interview with Diamond Dallas Page

Whenever I get the chance to hang out with my buddy Diamond Dallas Page – you can bet that the time limit will exceed the length of any normal interview. It’s been a while since I had the chance to see Diamond Dallas Page in person and while we remain in contact, I always find myself amazed at his motivation and dedication to stay active and take on a slew of new projects while finding time to help others and make a difference in the lives he touches.

You may all know DDP as the former WCW Champion who headlined multiple pay per views against the infamous n.W.o, and at times with help from celebrity tag team partners such as Karl Malone and Jay Leno. But since retiring from the ring, DDP has actively pursued a career in professional fitness through his own designed Full Impact Workout System (originally designed as YRG – Yoga For Regular Guys). At his age, Dallas is still able to run circles around some of the youngest and most fit athletes competing in the business today. But as I mentioned before, Dallas’ passion isn’t just about bettering himself – it’s about helping other people better themselves.

In the first part of this interview, Page discusses his recent projects and some of the inspirational stories of how he’s been a part of some of his fans physical life changing experiences.

Now, I’m sure that there are plenty of you out there who remember when DDP was rocking the wrestling world and dropping his opponents in the middle of the ring with his patented Diamond Cutter. So maybe his latest ventures into the world of health and fitness might not necessarily be your cup of joe. All you’re interested in is hearing about “wrasslin'”… I hear ya. I know you’re thinking to yourself, “Come On DieHard. We’re talking to DDP! Don’t get all Oprah on us! Let’s get some dirt from the squared circle”.

As if I didn’t know you any better – that’s why I split this interview up into two parts! Part two of our sit down covers some highlights of the twilight of his career, but we also spend time talking about the death of his close personal friend Chris Kanyon, the failed WCW Invasion angle and some insight on some of the new stars of this wrestling generation such as Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Now it’s time for you to feel the bang!
