I saw a clip on YouTube where Stone Cold Steve Austin is at movie World in Oz signing autographs.

I think Hogan still wrestling is fine. To be quite honest, there really aren't many that bring the bang that he does...and I have no doubt that he wants to put over Orton.

From The Wrestling Observer, SummerSlam results:
'Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton is up next. Hogan won with a legdrop in the middle. The match was okay given Hogan's limitations. He did his trademark stuff that he could do, but it was a basic simple stuff that Hogan did that mostly didn't look good."

Still have no doubt POJO? I knew Hulk wouldnt put over Orton.....

Man, I haven't watched wrestling seriously in 4 years or more, but it doesn't sound like much has changed. Tired and repetitive. Without any real competition the WWE will continue to be stagnant. Maybe TNA can rise up to the challenge, but I don't know much about that promotion, are they any good?

And I can't believe Hogan's still wrestling. I've seen him on Hogan Knows Best, and that fool can barely walk. I saw one episode where he went to the doctor and they shot his spine full of something (cortizone?) with a damn horse needle, just so he could move around well enough that night to wrestle. Man's got artificial knees, hips...hang it up already.

Monkeythe had a feeling Hogan would put over Orton in return for a win over Stone Cold at WM23.

Looks like that one isn`t on the cards.

Not if they keep booking stuff like Christian`s heel turn on Sting at Hard Justice.

Did anyone not see that coming?

Sting has been made to look like a goof by so many of his "friends" over the years that I`m surprised he`s not paranoid.

Summerslam was hit & miss, as per the norm. LOTS of blown spots. Highlights/Lowlights:

Rey's mask coming off in the opening match was some LOL shit. Decent match, Chavo is an underrated worker.

The Big Slow/Sabu deal was nothing short of a disaster...just shy of throw-away comedy. Sabu has made a living fucking up highspots..mostly with legendary results. Not last night. Maybe he just made a statement regarding asinine booking.

Speaking of booking, King Booker carried the match with Blautista. Holy shit...anyone see the botched powerbomb? Booker T puts on a clinic in a forgettable DQ.

I Quit:
Let me tell you, I wanted to quit watching wrestling for about half a second after Foley bladed his arm in PPV glory. Blatant...ridiculous. Goddamn, I wouldn't be surprised if Stephanie radio'd in the finish after that shit. Fucking Flair...."I'll kill you." Just beautiful....

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

DX/Mcmahons':
Time-chewing crap. I guess the ECW announce table is pretty tough, cuntsidering the lame effect it had on HHH. Absolute crap.

Edge/Cena:
Highlight of the night. The double FU, and resulting finish was one for the books. Incredible match.

Speaking of the books, the show finished 10 minutes short of 11.

Bring on Cuntforgiven!!!

Angle fired today

Dave@wrestlingobserver.com

WWE fired Kurt Angle today. It is known Angle and his agent met with WWE officials this afternoon. More details should be forthcoming soon.

Well, there goes maybe the best active wrestler WWE had, Angle was hurting bad and needed a long break anyway....

[Mr Badguy]

No fuckin ` way.

He was the only good thing on the fuckin` WWE.

[Don Corleone]

Kurt released early......

Wasn't there a story involving Kurt and drugs around the same time RVD got busted?

[POJO_Risin]

Angle is always fucking hurt...

he needs to clean up...and get healthy...

[POJO_Risin]

Angle commented to the website, "My body is so beat up and run down, I can't even think straight." He said that the seven years of running on the road for the company have taken a major toll on him emotionally and physically, noting, "I haven't been able to really enjoy my life. I haven't seen my family, I've had problems with medication - I'm just fried physically and mentally." Angle's business manager David Hawk noted that the former Olympic Gold Medalist has been using prescription medication to deal with the situation and at this point, does not intend to return to the ring unless he can do so without the continued aid of prescription medication.

Angle's injuries from his final WWE match (as of now) in White Plains, New York against Rob Van Dam were noted as well, with Angle commenting, "Early on in the match, I pulled my groin, but I kept going, feeding off the crowd. Then I pulled my abdominal muscle off the pelvic bone, but I kept going as the crowd grew more wild. Finally, I blew out my hamstring, but we finished the match."

Angle noted in the article that there is no timeframe for his possible return to the company and that he is focusing on getting better, physically and mentally.

At least he knew when to step back, although he should have done that a year or two ago, if he comes back or not he will go down as one of the all time greats for sure....
