Hello wrestling fans! Last week I started a two part series on ‘Shoot’ fights (meaning real fights) that have happened in the scripted world of professional wrestling. But before I gt back into that madness, I wanted to tell you guys about how my bro and I wentand saw Ring of Honor last weekend in Richmond,Virginia. There was a huge, insane thunderstorm annihilating Richmond when the first bell rang, and I think that may have left a few of the performers stranded at the airport, so we ended up seeing alot of the same guys come out for more than one match. So that kind of sucked. Needless to say, I got hammered and had fun anyway.

Okay — now back to the shoot fights!

OK WWE, you got me. I fell for it hook line and sinker, I actually thought that last week CM Punk had gotten away with speaking his mind about the sad state of WWE’s product live on RAW. I can’t believe they had me with the whole “CM Punk has been suspended” shtick. I have to admit that this story line is pretty good and for the first time in a very long time I am actually interested in seeing where they take this.

It did however get me thinking about whether or not anyone has actually gotten away with doing something unscripted live on Vince McMahon TV. After a little research I did find some really interesting stuff. Some stories about things that happened on televison but some other stories about fights between wrestlers that happened backstage. Here are some of the interesting tidbits I dug up. I tried to double reference these stories to weed out the ones that were total bullshit:

Hello, wrestling fans!

Sometimes in the world of wrestling things can happen that are not a part of the “script.” These rare moments are some of the greatest things that can happen on live TV, because the audience gets to see something “real” instead of the same old boring fake wrestling crap. There have been a couple of times over the years when a wrestler will take advantage of the fact that it is live television and say something on the mic that wasn’t planned. In the wrestling world it is know as a “shoot.”

Such a moment occurred this past Monday on Raw. A wrestler called CM Punk came out on TV and said some pretty crazy things about Vince McMahon (video above). Some people are saying he is trying to get fired. I think it is very entertaining for sure. I love it when someone has the balls to shake things up a bit in the stale world of WWE.

Hello wrestling fans! I am sitting in JFK Airport getting ready to board a flight to Nantes. France to play Hellfest. The line-up looks retardedly awesome, and I have a couple hours to kill, so I am hammering down alcohol in preparation for the Flight. I figure since I have nothing to do but look at my computer screen for awhile, I would write the second installment of my blog for MetalSucks!

There has been alot happening in the world of wrestling in the past couple of weeks, most notably the passing of Randy “Macho Man”
Savage, a true wrestling legend and my peronal favorite wrestler of all time. Savage suffered a heart attack behind the wheel of his Jeep Wrangler. Anyone that has lived on this planet for more than fifteen years has to know exactly who he is — he was the most entertaining and memorable character to ever step into the squared circle.

So a few weeks ago I was hanging out on the internet and I saw that MetalSucks is calling me out for not writing a weed column for their website. Well, guess what, dudes? I am going to write you a column for sure, but it’s not going to be about weed — it’s going to be about pro wrestling! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a huge pro wrestling fan, and I don’t fuck around when it comes to useless wrestling trivia. I don’t know what it is about grown men pretending to beat the shit out of each other that I find so entertaining. I think it might be the fact that I have been watching it for as long as I can remember, and it reminds me of much simpler times, when Ninja Turtles and cartoons were my main interest.
