After what happened to Ric Flair this past Tuesday, I think that all the wrestlers who are a little older should take a look in the mirror. Do we really need a legend to collapse at a television taping for the older wrestlers to realize that now is the time? Now is the time for them to step aside and let the “new blood” in the industry take over. New legends are waiting to be made and new staples are waiting to be strewn within the sport. Now is the time. For the love of the sport, enough is enough. Test the wrestlers and their health. Can you imagine the state of mind of that David Flair must have been in backstage? The poor kid is in an angle against his father and then his old man collapses. That is just not needed.
Did you see Flair during his interview on Thunder? He was red as a beet and goodness, he was shaking and perspiring like nuts. This wasn’t your normal wrestling interview, this was Flair going a little wacky in the ring.
Speaking of Thunder and Ric Flair, tell me that it wasn’t awesome to see Anderson run out with that piece of wood to the Horsemen music…that was great! And it can only be done, “Horsemen style!”
For everyone that is bitching and moaning that the WWF is doing a bit of an overkill with the McMahon family, know that the trio of active McMahons in the WWF are the highest ratings grabbers on all of Monday night. According to a recent compilation by the Neilson people, Shane McMahon has been the number one ratings grabber for the WWF this year, followed by his father in second and Stephanie in third. The WWF is overkilling their product with the McMahons? The numbers don’t lie.
I have been thinking about expanding the lair into other areas of entertainment…movies, music, computers, etc. Let me know what you think about turning this place into an overall megasite!
There are rumors abound that Goldberg will be returning to the WCW within the next month or so. Apparently, Russo and Bischoff want his return to coincide with the return of Steve Austin or The Undertaker, both scheduled to return within the coming weeks. However, Goldberg has stated many times that he is not currently into the wrestling scene of the WCW and he continually comes up with doctor’s excuses for not being able to perform on the big shows. Time will tell this story.
So Lance Storm has signed with the WCW. Everyone is saying that we will be getting all of these different feuds and all of this different stuff out of Storm in the WCW. To be totally truthful, I see nothing but mid card status in the future of this young star. I mean, where can they possibly squeeze Storm into their equation right now? They have some great feuds and some interesting storylines going on between the Millionaire’s Club (we are waiting for the t-shirt) and the New Blood, Vampiro -v- Sting, Kidman -v- Hogan,
