FOREVER UNCLEAN.

I haven't seen enough of his indy (or FCW/NXT) stuff to judge one way or the other, but in WWE he's been as boring as batshit.

Brodie Lee's work in Chikara vs. Claudio is worth seeking out. Imagine how they could win a crowd over with 15-20 minutes on a ppv.

I think Chikara has their cage match on YouTube too. So you can legally watch it for free.Brodie was awesome. I loved watching him boot people's faces off.

Brodie really took it up a level when he got the trucker gimmick.

[Marty Sugar]

Jim Ross's new blog has some subtle digs at WWE in it.

Subtle digs?

[JonnyLaw]

He's got no interest in shooting.

[Nice Guy Eddie]

I like that Brodie/Luke Harper is essentially the same aside from being in a backwoods religious cult. The indy fan in me always worries about how WWE is going to repackage guys that were fairly or well established on the indies.

He could've been much less subtle.  I wish he had, but I'm sure he legally can't.

I seem to recall some story about the Sin Cara figure with the sling being a "mistake." I think it was supposed to be Mysterio in the sling (coming off the whole deal with Del Rio injuring his arm) but somehow Sin Cara ended up in the sling instead during production. Either way, pretty darn hilarious.

Danshoku Dino needs to come in and start Wrestling is Gay

 

We had our chance and we blew it.

We blew it hard.

What an appropriate choice of words.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but Hulk Hogan is an idiot.  I've been watching 1995 Nitro shows and then reading the WON stuff on them afterwards.  In the September 25 issue, it's stated that Steve Austin was fired and Hogan and his crew felt he had no charisma.  On what planet does Steve Austin not have charisma in 1995?  Hell, in 94, he came across as amazing with a ton of potential, probably in 93 too but I haven't seen enough of his stuff from then.  My rant is over

'93 was a great year for Austin.  Besides the Blonds' run, after Pillman got hurt he started feuded with Dustin Rhodes.

[Tromatagon]

Even when he was in World Class and green you could tell he had it

For the second time this year.

 

Yup.

[mco543]

Is there any company willing to book him at this point? He's had to have burnt his bridge with every notable company by now.

[cool arrow]

Well, Extreme Rising is allegedly coming back, so maybe Shane would hire him.  (Or would've hired him anyway.)

Yet people still chuck money at Hogan ... that's the thing that puzzles me to no end.

[Niners Fan in CT]

There's been some talk about Hogan back in WWE at some point. Does anyone want to see him? I can't imagine. We are now a decade beyond his farewell tour the last time he was in WWE.

[jaedmc]

I'd want to see him come back and take a Cesaro Swing.

 

But he'd probably fall apart 

 

But...I guess I wouldn't terribly mind seeing that too.

 

So yes?

[cool arrow]

The last two times Hogan came back to WWE he beat people he had no business beating, so not just no, but hell no.

Probably at Mania.  He'd probably generate something for his first appearance but everything else after that would dwindle. 

 

Also, Hulk doesn't seem to have helped TNA in any major way in the last four years.

I've heard that the WWE "low balled" him offered him less money then he was expecting so he turned them down.

Well1. The shit about Austin is second hand information from twenty years ago. 2. Hogan got more eyeballs on TNA initially and TNA sucks so nobody stuck around.
