    Some Quick questions on Ahmed Johnson

    There were physical and political reasons why he did. Ahmed Johnson was better suited for body building, not wrestling. It was obvious that his body was wrongly conditioned for athletic sports. He was always going to be at risk of injury. Also, WWE didn't have a very wide vision for black...

    Some Quick questions on Ahmed Johnson

    According to a 1996 edition of Wrestling Superstars, Ahmed Johnson spent too much time lifting weights and not enough on the treadmill or other dynamic machines. I can imagine that the muscles in his body must have become very tight and not the most elastic. For him, movements that involved...

    Why do you love Professional Wrestling?

    I agree. I also think wrestling is a very good outlet for our inner dark side. Roderick Toombs, Ray Traylor, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, to name a few, have enjoyed the high spots of their careers playing villains. Their other sides, so to speak, were highly entertaining and put us in touch with...

Please share the names of any topics that have gotten no responses, so that we can help address issues that might have become water under the bridge...

    Remembering the late great "Mean" Gene Okerlund...

    Of all the interviewers, his touch was the finest. He knew how to get the best out of people and never once did he make them insecure. He riled up Sid at WM 8, but that was just for show and Sid only told him to shut up because he was acting in character. The rest of the time, Gene made the...

    Remembering the late great "Mean" Gene Okerlund...

    RIP Mean Gene. You were smart, hard working and got along famously with everyone. The backstage interviewers are as good as they are because they followed your example.

    I was born to hurt and you will feel my pain!

    These were Chris Benoit's last words back in 2003, during a Smackdown vignette, in which he showed clear signs of lurid intent, both in the rest of his words and in his body language. It's on You Tube for everyone to see in all its disturbing glory. Although his words were scripted, I would like...

    5things that could happen after AJ Styles'attack onVince McMahon

    It looks like AJ is being groomed to be the next big thing. They always pick one person to take the lead and have him be the center of attention. Hulk Hogan started a trend that Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Kevin Nash, even Sgt. Slaughter for his brief run, continued to this day. Narrow focus is always...

    When will WWE die out?

    What is keeping it alive? For example, Daniel Bryan's heel turn is so unoriginal. Ludvig Borga was apprehensive about America's pollution and corruption in very much the same way. The Unamericans weren't far behind and the Hart Foundation had a similar idea. Couldn't WWE come up with more...

    If You Could Hang Out With Any WWE Superstar.. Who?

    Brock Lesnar. He is a man of principle, even if he is rough-hewn. He is said to be very loyal and supportive of his friends once they earn his trust. I admire him for his private nature, in the sense that whatever we would discuss would remain confidential and he wouldn't impose anything on me...

    If You Could Hang Out With Any WWE Superstar.. Who?

    Most likely, I would hang out with the Undertaker. He looks like someone you can rely on and sees the world through a clear lens. I'd feel like I could relate to him, be able to confide in him even, if I got to know him. Many wrestlers praise him highly and I can see why.

    When will WWE die out?

    How long is it going to take before WWE collapses? I mean, how much longer can it last? Heel turns, heroes, feuds, are all tried and tested things that have varied over the years, but have always come down to the same circle - good guys triumph, bad dogs have their day, but really, are there any...

    Which stereotypes are true?

    I will watch the video in due course, but I wanted to say right now that no stereotypes are true. Oversimplified images are never plausible. Human beings are complex creatures and should never be cast in a way that fails to look at their deeper aspects. I for one have never stereotyped anyone...

    Jokes about legitimate WWE incidents

    A lot of people make jokes about the wrestlers when they involved in accidents on You Tube. Is it really so funny to laugh at people who get hurt? Like, the Undertaker. I've read a variety of jokes about how he was 'all fired up' for his match at Elimination Chamber 2010 and that Kane was...

    Boxing Discussion Thread

    How so? I always thought American Boxing dominated the scene. What does British Boxing offer that American doesn't?

    Cyber Monday/Week

    Cyber Monday, why nothing about Black Friday? There were tons of very good offers on almost all the big IT vendors. Like, for example, I got Avast Premier for 19.99, instead of 69.99 on Black Friday. I also purchased Sniper Elite 4 Deluxe Edition for a little over 20 euros instead of 89.99...

    The Order of the Gash

    No, none of the Cenobites are dumb. They have the intelligence to speak to others and a sickly sense of style in the way they dress. I wouldn't say their minds are at fault. I would guess myself, perhaps they have sacrificed literacy in favor of complete devotion to their methods of inflicting pain.

    The Order of the Gash

    Okay, good to know. Now, what would you say the answer to my question about literacy would be, given the Order's life of torture?

    The Order of the Gash

    Oh, really? It's one of those words with double meanings, is it?
