Would a Stone Cold / CM Punk feud be the best feud ever?

I think most people would agree that a CM Punk / Stone Cold feud is just too perfect. And with Stone Cold back involved in WWE for the Cole/Lawler Wrestlemania match and hosting Tough Enough its already got some people talking about the possibilities... including Punk and Stone Cold.

Heres some excerpts from Punk's twitter:



And heres what Stone Cold had to say in his recent interview with Jon Robinson at http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/videogames/blog/_/name/thegamer/id/6273910/stone-cold-stunned-wwe-all-stars?readmore=fullstory

Steve Austin: When you have a storyline like that, and the way CM cuts his promos, I think it would damn sure be entertaining and fans would latch onto it. He's done well in WWE, and I think he's got bigger fish to fry and bigger things to do in that company. I look for big things from him. And damn right, that would be a good program. I would love to be a part of that.

So what do you think?  How awesome would that feud be?  Will we ever see them in the same ring together?

Jerry Lawler's thoughts on his first mania match, similarites to Andy Kaufman fued

http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_48847.shtml

Some highlights:

-"Would I have preferred for it to be a wrestler? Maybe at first. But now, looking back on the way this has all unfolded and the way it's going to be now, I couldn't have had a better opponent. Especially now that it's so reminiscent of the actual Andy Kaufman feud. I mean here, just like Andy, I'm going in the ring against a guy who's never competed," Lawler told Matt Fowler of IGN.com.

-"I just had Vince McMahon tell me, not that long ago, he said, 'Man, you can't imagine. I've never told anyone this but I was actually jealous of the fact that you got to do what you did with Andy Kaufman because I knew that we had the opportunity to do it first and we turned it down. And then all of a sudden you guys were on TV and in New York. You got to be on David Letterman and Saturday Night Live. It just blew up.'"




What does everyone think? Is Cole the new Kaufman? Is their match going to steal the show? Is there ANY way Cole is leaving without a neck brace?

The Korean Zombie pulls off the first ever TWISTER in UFC

I'm a huge Eddie Bravo fan. So needless to say I marked my balls off when Chan Sung Jung pulled off the twister Saturday at UFC Fight Night. Yesterday Eddie Bravo himself uploaded a breakdown of the whole thing. Here it is:

Michael Cole calls Josh Mathews "Faggot" via twitter

Less than two weeks after the WWE and GLAAD teamed up to say they were going to work together to curb homophobic slurs in wrestling, one of the WWE's top announcers tweeted one at a fellow announcer.

Earlier today, Michael Cole simply tweeted one disgusting word towards fellow announcer Josh Mathews. Cole quickly took down the tweet and apologized, posting:

The WWE and GLAAD announced a partnership on March 17 to try and put an end to bullying based on sexual orientation after a series of homophobic taunts was made by wrestler John Cena.

WWE said at the time: "WWE takes this issue very seriously, and has already spoken with our talent about these incidents. We are taking steps and working with GLAAD to ensure that our fans know that WWE is against bullying or discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation."

A rep for the WWE tells TMZ, "WWE has alerted GLAAD to the situation and spoken to Michael Cole about his post. He has removed it and apologized for using hateful language. Michael will be included in the training session being done by GLAAD. WWE takes this very seriously and is against discrimination of any kind based on sexual orientation, gender, race, religion or other."

A rep for GLAAD could not be reached for comment.

Z! True Long Island Story Episode # 6

Zack Ryder has to be one of the most underutilized talents in the wwe right now. I thought his matches with Christin in ECW were some of the best of the year.

UFC Fight Night: Seattle 7pm/10pm PT/ET

So UFC Fight Night: Seattle is tonight and the main event is looking pretty cool. Last time we saw Mr. Wonderful(lol) he submitted Tim Boetsch with a submission he made up.  (That is, if you missed him stopping practice to save a ladybug.)  The guy is an absolute beast, 8-0, and definitely on the up, so it will be interesting to see how Nogueira will handle it.  Nogueira, whose been doing pretty shitty since coming to the UFC (losing to Ryan Bader and winning a decision over Jason Brilz which even Dana White was quoted as saying was bullshit), really needs the win.


Smackdown! NEW 2011 Theme - "Friday" by Rebecca Black

A vast improvement in my opinion.

Kurt Angle Arrested for Being Drunk in a Car

Kurt Angle Arrested for Being Drunk in a Car


Wrestling superstar Kurt Angle was arrested early this morning in North Dakota ... TMZ has learned.



Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... highway patrol in Grand Forks found Angle sitting in his car in the median separating lanes. We're told Angle told cops he had hit an icy patch in the road. During the conversation, cops say they smelled alcohol on Angle's breath. He failed a field sobriety test and was arrested.

Since cops didn't see Angle driving, he was arrested and later charged with being in control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated -- which basically means he was allegedly drunk behind the wheel but not actually driving.
