That's right, I am once again back to
dispense my particular brand of wrestling vigilante
justice --non-violent, cowardly, just hide and yell
things from a completely safe distance, vigilante
justice-- so, brace yourselves, and put on
your lobster bibs, because this could get
messy.

That being said, I just feel like rambling like an
idiot this week, with no direction, and because my brain is
overflowing with wrestling related diarrhea, that like the unfortunate vile
liquid of the same name, just needs to be purged for the betterment of the
asshole. (*Fun Fact: YOU'RE THE ASSHOLE!).
So, if you expected a
deep, insightful soliloquy on how the WWE can be turned
around, I'm sorry to break this to you, but I'm not your
man. But I can be. For the right price. I'm a
total whore.
REALITY
CHECK!
It's official, I'm hooked on Joe Schmo, and by the
mail I received last week, I'm guessing some of you are as well. And by mail I
mean both of you. If you read last week's column, and how dare you not,
since it's jam-packed with STUFF, some of which is coherent, you'd also
know of my disdain for The Mullets; so imagine my surprise when one of my
readers, Michael Feeney, emailed me telling me that the youngest Mullet and
"Hutch" from my beloved Joe Schmo are one in the same. Fate you are a cruel and
harsh mistress. I feel a lot like the guy from the Madame Butterfly
movie who finds out that his lover actually has a penis (A fate that only
HHH and Sean Waltman can likely relate to.). And although I do feel shocked
and betrayed, I shall persevere. This tragedy can only make me stronger. It'd
have to. As it is, I barely move. I think I may be
dying!
However, before I get
into the Wrestling portion of the evening (I swear this
time), I have this
totally random question about Crack Whores
that I've always been curious about. Being that I'm
from just about the whitest suburb in the world, and
have never really been subjected to the cold realities
of the world; I am curious, do you pay the Whores,
then they buy the crack with the money,
or do you give them the crack , and then they service you upon completion
of said transaction? This is always something I've been curious about, as the
term has always been an ambiguous one to me; and truthfully, I wanted
to avoid any humiliating crack whore faux pas if the sudden urge to
get it on with drug-addicted prostitute ever arises. Help would be
appreciated. And Penicillin.
Miscellaneous
Wrestling Commentary Of Ridiculousness;
-As much as I really
enjoy projectile vomiting and security guys having
matches, it still wasn't enough to compel me to order
last week's TNA. Imagine
that.
-How about that Mark
Henry, eh? Dear lord. At this point, I think
I'd like to see a Y2J-esque countdown clock
going as he wrestles, that, you
know, systematically counts down to the end of
this seemingly infinite ten year contract he
signed. If only to assure myself, that
yes, there is indeed an end to this
madness. Eventually. But just not for 3
more years.
*sniffle*.
But hey, at least, in
his defense, he can
tear phone books in half! That's a feat right there. Just how he then
subsequently orders the take-out from there that in turn maintains his
perpetual obesity is a mystery for the ages. Maybe he just gathers berries and
cruiserweights and sleeps in a cave for 6 months? I mean, why not? He does kind
of look like a bear. And I've watched his matches. You don't move that slow if
you're not getting ready for hibernation! And he does tend
to disappear for like a half year at a time. It just makes
sense. You can still shoot bears, right? What? I'm trying to find a
silver lining here!
-As seen on RAW last week, Teddy Long's declaration of
wanting to be President would be an interesting prospect. I don't think it's too
farfetched to assume his first order of business would be to paint the White
House. I mean, it only seems natural based on his disdain for whitey. Unless
it's Rodney Mack. No one has the heart to tell him he's whiter than the
Caucasians he's annihilating. Quick, someone ask him to dance, it's the
only way to find out for sure!
As for Teddy's political aspirations, I guess
for now he'll have to satisfied with just being President of the Turtle Club.
Come on, think about it; little bald head? Big suit? Belee' dat. Dear god. Poor
Teddy. I'm not going to say his head is significantly undersized or anything,
but he's probably the only guy I know who can wear his wedding ring as a fucking
headband.
-Hey, let's talk
about OVW! You know, WWE's main training facility!
Today's wrestling stars... tomorrow! Or something.
Although, it's not that bad. I think that
one kid they just brought up has a HUGE future. You know who I'm
talking about ?....You don't? ..You know, the one with the crew cut?...and the
unmarketable last name? No? Come on!... You know, the one who is
real tall and uses a lot of spinebusters and dropkicks? You still don't
know? Well, I'm not going to tell you then. Just look for that guy. EVERYWHERE.
He's going places. All of them.
-While we're on the
subject of OVW alumni, wasn't it nice how HHH *put over*
the young trio of Maven, Garrison Cade & Mark
Jindrak last week... by completely annihilating
them? What that whole match did to really
advance anyone, Trips included, is beyond me. It
did make me a believer though. A belief
in that I definitely never want to see Jindrak
wrestle again. But still, obliterating the three
youngest guys on the brand in one match is hardly
building for the future. Although, I'm sure HHH has
somehow convinced himself that he actually did them
a favor, and now
they'll be better off for it. You see, HHH is the equivalent of taking your
military trainees out to the desert and dropping a nuclear bomb
on them. And then whoever crawls out of the smoldering heap gets to
officially be one of the officers! Only, you know, like a fucking A-bomb, no one
ever climbs out of HHH's hole either. Maybe that's because he keeps insisting on
shoveling more dirt on as they try to climb out.
Maybe.
That said, believe it or not, Maven actually
carried the match for his team, and it looks like the
man, who has now eclipsed Bert from Sesame Street in my
eyes as official mono-browed standard bearer,
is actually going places. Unfortunately, though,
all those places seem to be my
fucking Television. Dear god. Hell, some
people are even saying that he, Cade & Jindrak could
eventually be aligned with Randy
Orton as a new stable! FAUX Horsemen? Maybe. All I
know is, I'll buy it just to see Maven feud
with Ric Flair, with whom combined would make the
single GREATEST pair of novelty glasses EVER. Tell
me I'm wrong. Get Jake Roberts mustache involved, and
holy shit, there'll be no stopping
them!
- Holy fuck, we actually
got two consecutive good matches out of the Divas in one
week. Quick, someone check the Guff and see if there's
any souls left! Although, not having a soul or
personality doesn't seem to stop you from getting hired
in this company, so never mind. All I know is, this many
good matches in the Women's division in a row HAS to be
some sort of sign of the impending Armageddon (LIVE..on
Pay-per-view!). Although, I don't seem to
remember reading about plastic women rolling around in
spandex with one another in Revelations. If only. I
think that'd give me the proper motivation to go back to
church again. Just think of the MIRACLES! Jesus turns 2
breast implants into 300. Vince could really get behind
a religion with benefits like that. I'd mention from
there Jesus using his powers to somehow give these women
personalities & charisma, but come on! Even God has
his limitations!
-The WWE sunk to new levels last
Monday with the propaganda laced placement of wounded soldiers at ringside. I
don't know about you, but I could literally see the eagles flying in slow
motion. It was that glorious. After watching Bubba, D-Von and company glad
hand, and TV time given to each one, I'm surprised they didn't further up the
ante by sending Terri out to give them all hand-jobs. Especially that one
poor dude with the fucking hook. Lord knows he can't do it
himself anymore for obvious reasons. Hey, maybe that's the real
reason pirates were so ornery? Who wouldn't want to pillage and destroy if they
couldn't masturbate? They don't teach you this pertinent information in School.
But they should.
That said, I know some of you people are saying,
Sean, WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM? And I don't mean to
be cruel, I really don't, making light of the pirate
soldier and all, but
seriously, who has a
fucking hook anymore? You just know this guy
has seen those rubber
prosthetic hands. But noooooooo. He's sticking
with the hook. Huh. Maybe someone should
have made Koko B. Ware donate Frankie to complete
the look?
-I know I'm not the only
man obsessed with HHH and this YJ Stinger product.
Not since the WCW days and "Surge" have I hated a
product so much and never even had it. I also find it
humorous that Triple H doesn't sell for
fucking killer bees either. For all we know,
the bees were originally supposed to kill Trips, but
Helmsley informed the Director they just "weren't ready yet.". YOU HAVE TO
WANT IT, KILLER BEES.
-Shane McMahon and Kane
brawling in the Hospital and then battling with a
big bag of hemoglobin does little for me other than
to convince me to never donate my blood any time soon.
Somehow, I don't think this was the best way to promote
the Red Cross.Ya, hey, just ignore the Bull Shannon
looking motherfucker with the dead-eye in his long
underwear kicking the shit of that preppy pudgy dude in
a tracksuit. Sign up here. Holy shit. Most people don't
need a complimentary piece of Pizza and a diet Coke that
fucking badly. Except me. It's free. What can I say.
Besides, the only blood I utilize at this point all
heads to the same place at once. Usually during Trish
Stratus matches. I think
I can spare a little.
And speaking of Kane, why is it that he
seems to be coming out with less clothes every week, yet
the Divas seem to be wearing more? And speaking of Naked Kane, where
are his SCARS? This dude was burned alive, remember? And hey, wasn't Jim
Ross a few months ago, too? Yet he's fine now, as well. What the fuck is going
on here? All I know is, if *I* was in a burn unit right now, I'd sign with WWE,
stat. Tragic burns all over your face and body only leave you with
non-healing wounds and a life of perpetual unending pain when you're
*not* a WWE superstar. Silly, everyone knows that.
-Onto the Smackdown side of things , it looks like
Vince and Steph will now "wrestle" in an "I quit" match at the PPV. YAY!
Although, somehow, I think it may be the fans themselves who yell it first.
I know I just threw in the towel. Only in my case, it was into the
laundry. Mostly because I just watched that Divas match from
last Monday, and umm, ya, it's needs to be washed. Forget I said
anything.
That said, is it just
me, or is Steph growing larger as weeks pass? And I
don't mean fat. I just mean mass. How did this
ever happen? How did our Billion Dollar
Prince..ess come to this? I mean, even her
voice has changed several octaves. Despite the fact
that prolonged exposure to her former
pitch would cause your head to explode
scanners-style, at least, back then, you knew it was
actually FEMININE. What happened? At the rate her voice is changing and
gradually getting deeper, by this time next year, she'll have ousted fucking
James Earl Jones from yelling "This is CNN!".
Stephanie: "Vince never told you what happened to
your Father...".
Hunter:
"He-uh, told-uh, me-uh, enough-uh. He-uh told-uh me-uh, you-uh killed-uh
him-uh!".
Stephanie: "No, I, am YOUR
Father!".
Hunter:
"Noooooooooooooooo-uh! That's-uh not-uh, true-uh!
That's-uh impossible-uh!".
I do have a theory,
though. Perhaps it's the hormonally enhanced super sperm
of the Game himself, causing these genetic
changes? You know, that once ingested, caused
Steph to triple her normal size? There's already
a precedent. I mean, Chyna got a whole lot
more feminine after breaking up with Hunter. All I
know is, if this was the Marvel Universe,
Ms. McMahon would now be fitted for a yellow spandex
unitard and sent off to Xavier's school for gifted,
err, youngsters, anyway. Although, I think she'd be better suited to the evil
brotherhood of mutants, myself. They could utilize her writing talents to
turn the tide in the war. All it'll take is a few of her terrible
storylines and the non-mutant threat will instantly surrender and the
Sentinels will all commit hara-kiri. NOTHING MOVES THE BLOB. Except funky
beats.
-Just for the record though, on the
comic book front, being bombarded with Gamma rays didn't turn me into an
unstoppable green monster, it just gave me inoperable cancer. What gives?
When do I get super-strength and invulnerability? And when will I stop bleeding
internally? Help? Stan Lee?
-So, HHH has put a one
hundred thousand dollar bounty on Goldberg? Normally, I'd like to see it the
other way around, but come on, let's be serious. Like a Jew is gonna part with
that much money! *Ahem*
-Thumbs up
to a great Ladder match on RAW last night. RVD scaled the ladder and regained
the belt! He then took the ladder back home to Battle Creek, because he just
remembered his parents garage rafters is where he last stored his
stash. His parents should find him on the weekend passed out amidst Funyon
bags. True story.
-Speaking of
RAW, how about that big Fabulous Moolah birthday comeback match last
night? Normally, the only thing people that age wrestle with is
incontinence. That said, Moolah deserved the moment. Even if
that was the most awkward and tedious schoolboy roll up in HISTORY. By the
time Moolah had finally finished rolling Victoria over, said Schoolboy was
graduating college and fucking shaving. But hey, whatever. Props to Moolah at
80(?). Although, I found her post-match pose-down a little disturbing. Who knew
Moolah had 24 inch pythons? I mean, sure, they're upside down, but hey, there
they were.
-And finally, it looks like I won't be going to
Wrestle Mania as tickets are expected to sell out next
week almost instantly thanks to the "not-at-all crackable" password the W's
gave their fans: MANIA. Jim Ross also denied that a proposed Hulk Hogan vs.
Randy Savage match would be taking place as speculated. Which is good, because I
don't think the WWE would purposely put their own younger superstars on the
back burner to promote a match between two fledgling 50 year olds and try
and pass it off as the real Wrestle Mania Main Event.
Oh.

AND NOW A WORD
FROM OUR SPONSOR:
INTRODUCING: RVD
POTATOES!
Whether they're BAKED or FRIED
or BOTH (which is often the case), RVD potatoes are a ONE OF A KIND taste
experience! Each RVD potato is ORGANICALLY grown in a *very special* and
*very secret* HYDROPONIC CLOSET, that creates a unique
and UNORTHODOX blend of flavor, that goes down great with a
myriad of snack foods such as Cheetoes and uncooked cookie dough.
Each RVD potato packs a tremendous punch, so much so, that
your wife will probably go complain to the boss and demand
that they be toned down a bit! They're that
good!
So, roll
out RVD potatoes with your next meal, or spontaneous snack at about twenty
after four every day. Each bag is GUARAN-DAM-TEED to remain FRESH for
up 22 STRAIGHT MONTHS. Where they'll then promptly be replaced and
the whole company will go out of business.
We guarantee that they're the best
VAN DAMN Potatoes* you've ever had, or your money back. Or IOU'd as it
were. (ask Paul Heyman). That's RVD POTATOES. Because when you think of big
Ol' Potatoes being dished out, you think
ROB..VAN..DAM.
* When opened, potatoes may flip
through the air for no real reason.

OK, I don't mean to beat a dead horse here...Ok,
there was that one time, but I was very drunk & lonely, and feel really
bad about it, but if you, or a longtime close personal friend (credit- Mean Gene
Okerlund) would like to have your two cents on wrestling heard, all you
have to do is drop me a line and send me a glossy pic of your girlfriend nude
and I'll post a few emails. Or if you want to just send me the pic that'd
be cool, too. Look at it as my way of giving back to the community! Much
like the current forced community service I now have to undertake
after pleading "no-contest" in court to certain brazen false charges. I
swear, I thought that was Alka-Seltzer that I was putting in her drink!
Honest!
