The reason Kevin Nash won’t be facing CM Punk is that Nash did not get clearance to wrestle.

Matt Hardy is turning out to be a complete asshole. This is what he says in a you tube video titled “Goodbye.”

Goodbye, World …

My time here is

Almost complete …

I only have a few

Hours & minutes …

I loved you all …

Regardless of how

You felt about me…

I’ll miss you all

Meanwhile Jeff Hardy’s wife, Beth is saying that it is a “work” as police showed up at her home. She wrote the following:

“When the cops show up to our house at 11 pm, for a “suicide call” the fucking joke is over @MATTHARDYBRAND. Stop trying to work the Internet.”

The Sheriff’s office received almost 25 calls to check on Matt.

Rock says the reason he came back to the WWE is not to become champion again. I came back for these reasons: entertain the fans like no-one else can. Elevate the WWE to new heights never seen before. Challenge and mentor some of the younger talent. Give the millions what they want which is to kick John Cena's f'n a--. #RockTalk

CM Punk sure knows how to push Triple H’s buttons. Do you think Triple H looks good in pink??

There is talk that if the live Smackdown! does well on Tuesday it might make a permanent move to that time slot. 

Kofi Kingston and Evan Borne are the WWE Tag Team Champions.

Matt Hardy was arrested for DWI in North Carolina.

TNA released Matt Hardy following his DWI.

Talk is Jeff Hardy will return in October. His drug trail has been delayed again. But as I wrote this he is twitting that he will be at Impact Wrestling taping.

Rey Mysterio will be out. He is having knee surgery.

WWE announcer Todd Grisham is leaving to join ESPN. 

I began watching wrestling since 1967. My parents never watched wrestling, so I can’t tell you why or how I started, or for that matter the reason I began to watch, it just happened. It wasn’t even on regular television. In New York City it was on the upper UHF channel 48 which was a Spanish language station. Oh, now I remember why I started following wrestling. The commercials shown on the Spanish station consisted of scantly dressed women, or nudity that was digitized to block it out. I guess I was turning into a pervert at a young age. But in the end wrestling prevailed!!

I began by watching World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), with the likes of Bob Backlund, “The Living Legend” Bruno Sammaritno, Pedro Morales, “Superstar” Billy Graham and Ivan Koloff. Eventually the WWWF received a TV deal with a local TV station.

I always thought the WWWF was the only wrestling organization to rule the world (something that did happen until later on). But that theory changed once I joined the Navy and moved to Norfolk Virginia. I had continental cable while station in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. They showed several wrestling programs throughout the week.

The American Wrestling Association (AWA) was very popular in Minneapolis, Chicago, Omaha and other cities in the Midwest. They also made an occasional appearance in Houston, Memphis and San Antionio. This is where I got to see the likes of Mad Dog Vachon, Nick Bockwinkel, Verne Gagne, Rick Martel and a very green Hulk Hogan. They even had Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels, Madusa Miceli, Marty Jennetty, Road Warriors, Jim Garvin, Nasty Boys. As you can see, this core group of wrestlers would be the foundation for the WWF. Not to mention “Mean” Gene Okerlund and Bobby Heenan.

Jim Crockett Promotions had various shows within the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), like Southern Championship Wrestling and Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. But its main show was World Wide Wrestling. This is were I got to see for the first time Ric Flair, who would eventually turn out to be my all-time favorite wrestler. This wrestling organization eventually became World Class Championship Wrestling (WCW) when Ted Turner bought out Crockett in 1984. But, when I started watching they had Wahoo McDaniel, Dusty Rhodes, Tony Atlas, Ken Patera, Ray Stevens, Kevin Sullivan, Terry Taylor, and the Anderson’s to name a few.

World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) was based out of Dallas and Forth Worth, Texas in the world famous Sportatorium. They also had matches at the Northside Coliseum and the Will Rogers Memorial Center. But for the best years of WCCW all the action seemed to be coming from the Sportatorium. It was here that the Von Erich’s (Kevin, David, Kerry and Mike) made a name for themselves. Also wrestlers like Mick Foley, Jake Roberts, Gino Hernandez, Iceman King Parsons, The Fabulous Freebirds, Chris Adams and Ron Garvin. One of the better feuds were when Adam’s and his valet Sunshine and Garvin’s valet precious were involved. Sunshine also had a feud with Missy Hyatt.

While the Diva’s and the Knockouts of today are stunning, no one was more stunning then the first lady of wrestling Missy Hyatt.

In the meantime, I continued to watch my favorite wrestling organization, when suddenly the World Wide Wrestling Federation changed its name to World Wrestling Federation in 1979 a new breed of wrestlers captured my imagination. Andre the Giant, Jimmy Snuka, Hulk Hogan, Don Muraco Ricky Steamboat and the Iron Shiek to name a few.

As most of you know the landscape of wrestling has dramatically changed. With the exception of WWE, none of these wrestling organizations are here. They have been replaced by Ring of Honor and Total Non-stop Wrestling as the main competitor to the giant known as World Wrestling Entertainment.

That his how I got into wrestling. I still watch it today. 

Thoughts from an Island Girl

Okay I must admit,  I cheer for most of the bad guys.   It is kind of a passive-aggressive reaction to people who think this stuff is real.   The only good guy I really like is John Cena.   That comes from his love of the troops and helping them out overseas and here in the USA.     But who couldn't love 'The Miz'?  His shy mannerisms are so sexy!     He would never dare doing any remotely like self-promotion and down-to-earth?    He is that guy.  

But 'The Miz' is not the only self-effacing guy in the ring.   Another is that gentle giant, 'Shamus'.    His really white skin turns me on.    And that hair.  Look,  if I were a guy,  I would want to look like that.   Us girls love a guy who is humble like that. And he never cheats,  just like 'The Miz'.    They never take the short cut.    I saw the two playing with a box of kittens.   It was so cute,  so before any of you haters say otherwise,  just know that they really do care.

Next is another guy who can scarcely talk about himself.    That guy is the lovable and erudite Jack Swagger.   He is the real All-American American.   And his teeth are very white.   You know he flosses with red, white and blue dental floss?   I bet you haters didn't know that.  But alas,  I am here to set the record straight.   And how about them tights.   His big sexy legs.   Like the aforementioned good guys,  he is tall.    He can conjugate a verb and has watched 'Bambi', a record 4,000 times.   It would be in the Guiness World Book of Records,  but Jerry Lawler stole it.  

Vince McMahon will have the last laugh there.  The much maligned man in charge has a heart of gold and as we all know, the Hart Foundation are posers.     How dare they besmirch the kind-hearted Vince.    He lies asleep at night preparing text messages to give to Michael Coe.

Can you say,  sexy?  While all you guys get all twitterpated over Kelly-Kelly,  I have my eyes on this sexy man.  Oooh yah.      Now no good report about the WWE would be complete without the aforementioned Cole.  Everyone gets so excited at the anonymous texts or Cole's insightful comments on the matches.    "And I quote".   That brings a tear to my eyes.
