Zeke, Where For Art Thou?

Do you guys remember this shine-head nigga? His name is Ezekiel Jackson, and for someone who was crowned the final ECW Champion, to help elevate him on the Smackdown brand, I have to ask: WHERE THE FUCK IS HE!?!? He's has, what, two matches since ECW was laid to rest? He wasn't anywhere near Wrestlemania 26, and honestly, I'm not sure how they plan on packaging this bitch nigga when they DO decide to unleash him on TV.

What's sad is, I started this site to highlight the niggas within pro wrestling, but their roles are so dimished, it morphed into just ranting on the industry. I don't get it. I don't understand how someone who seemingly fits Vince's mold of an ideal wrestler isn't being used. Even if he can't speak - get this nigga a manager and let him run wild. Something.

EDIT Looks like Zeke wasn't at Mania b/c his pops died. Our condolences. Hopefully he can overcome that and keep it pushin'.

Wrestlemania 26 Recap

So I dropped my predictions for last night's event, then had a lot of people hitting up rockthedub.com for streams, and now I want to recap my thoughts on the event, and see how well my predictions were. Hit the jump!

Wrestlemania 26 Predictions

Eric Bischoff Responds To Vince McMahon

Bischoff responds to Vince's comments from the other day:

"So according to reports, Vince McMahon, the guy who wanted to watch his son-in-law perform a sex act on a dead body, asked me to make out with his wife AND daughter, owns a boat called 'Sexy Bitch'and wanted to me to promote 'Hot Lesbian Action' on his show considers TNA 'tawdry'...come on Vince, you are a lot of things (and many that I admire) but don't be a hypocrite."

Eric makes a great point, but I still think Vince won.

Vince Mcmahon On TNA

"We’re in different businesses. We’re in the entertainment business and they’re in the ‘pro wrasslin’ business. It’s different markets. When they moved to Monday nights they threw the kitchen sink at us and only did a fraction of our audience. It doesn’t speak well for the type of product they’re trying to present with the tawdry, blood-soaked action. I don’t think that’s what the culture wants these days."

Sounds like Matt Hardy isn't fucking around, which I'm glad to hear. He's been kind of gone since moving from ECW back to Smackdown, so I welcome him getting his game face on and taking it to the next level.

Who's Slamming Who?

I saw the homie post about Jim Cornette and I wanted a share a dope wrestling site I found a while back. Who's Slammining Who? is a podcast site featuring weekly shows from Jim Cornette, "The Genius" Lanny Poffo, and Jerry Jarrett. I recommend this site for the "smart" wrestling fan. I found Jerry Jarrett's podcast very inspirational. He gives a lot of advice for the wanna be wrestler, as well as valuable life lessons he learned along the way.

I've been listening to a lot of shoot interviews this week, so this is one I NEED to check out. You can cop it now via Kayfabe Commentaries.

RVD Interview, Post iMPACT!

Via Wrestleview.

The Morning After 3/8/2010

I dug TNA more last night than WWE.

I wasn't thinking I'd be writing those words, but it's true. I had both streams going side-by-side, so all I had to do was mute and move my screen when I got bored - and RAW stayed on mute more than iMPACT! last night... but it's not because TNA did everything right.

In fact, some of their biggest draws ended up being booked awfully...

Take RVD for example. Say what you will about his condition and rust or whatever, but he has a good following online, and is bound to draw eyes. I was never big on RVD, but I get his appeal. So, what does TNA do? They book him in a match with a freshly-heel Sting... but have him squash Sting in like 30 seconds, no finishers? Only to have him then get beat DOWN with the ballbat for something like 10 minutes? Had me thinking that this was just a one-night thing... and it looks like Jericho agrees.

Or the whole "first five minutes" that ended up being a horrible-blading bloodbath from and Hogan & Flair, with Sting making his return to beat the fuck out of Hulk and Abyss. It looked awful, but was far more intriguing than the normal 10-15 minute promo RAW did, even if it was HBK/Taker building up their WM26 match. TNA, whether it's the TV-14 rating or just the air of surprise, ended up looking the victor for at LEAST the first hour.

Think about it - WWE booked HBK/Taker, then a 6-Diva tag match, that had Eve put over for a second week in a row? Followed by Criss Angel pulling strings in his eyes? Seriously? When the Legacy match finally came about, most eyes were hooked into TNA.

TNA had great X-Division build-ups - that three man match for the title was great. Funny how Shannon Moore's debut (minus the eyeliner all over his face) was far better looking than Jeff Hardy's run-in at the end. Pointless. The segment with Waltman slapping Eric Young (then getting beat) was cool, but wasn't too crazy.

RAW? They had Morrison and R-Truth on RAW - why? They are Smackdown, and only the Unified Tag Champs can go show to show! Waste of a segment. It was good to see finally get his - he had been getting the one-up on Rhodes and DiBiase for weeks now. The Cena/Vince match was confusing and ended just how you figured it would - Cena getting beat down. And the HHH/Sheamus build-up? Yawn.

TNA? You won, but it's because WWE squandered a lot of opportunities to bounce back from last week's drab showing. Next week, with Stone Cold hosting? And the Wrestlemania Rewind matches announced? Come on! TNA better come tougher...

RVD To TNA?

Hogan hinted at it, and I wouldn't be surprised:



I guess we'll see on Monday night!

EDIT Looks like TNA is pissed about Hogan leaking this, but Spike TV ended up having to confirm it.

Awesome Kong Released From TNA?

So, judging by her most recent tweet, it looks like Awesome Kong has been let go by TNA, although TNA is not only not confirming this, they are flat out denying she's been let go. Given the back and forth between her and Bubba The Love Sponge, as well as her issues with TNA's payscale, I'm more inclined to believe her side of the story, but this is a developing ripple in her latest squabbles, which started around the time of the earthquakes in Haiti. We'll keep you updated.
