Big Nose interview:

Triple H appeared on Busted Open, which airs every Monday and Wednesday on Sirius 92 and XM 207 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

CM Punk’s controversial promo on June 27: “Punk said something about doofus, but he called John Laurinitis douchebag, which is way worse, right? The joke in the back was “at least I’m just a doofus, you’re a douchebag.” If you look at it from that standpoint, he called me a doofus, Stephanie an idiot and Johnny a douchebag, and everyone said “Oh my God!” He tore the roof off the place! He ripped the veil off! And it was like the most crazy promo of all time!” 5 years ago, no one would have blinked. That would have been a tame segment. Everyone would have looked at that promo and said “So what?” he didn’t say anything. In order for that to get the reaction that it did, we had to go where it had to go.

“I think sometimes, people think we bumble through this. Especially, and I don’t mean this disparagingly, the internet fan I think sometimes thinks that we throw darts at the wall and fumble around to see what we can come up with next. I mean there is actually a plan to a lot of this stuff, but things change. It’s live television, and people react certain ways and things don’t happen the way you expect them too, and you have to make changes. But there is a plan to a lot of this.”

Midcard talent possibly being affected by WWE’s rebranding: “Well I don’t think the end of the brands is here at all. I think it’s for a period of time, it’s trying to give the best shows that we can. If I was a mid-card guy or lower end, certainly I would look at that and go “Oh man, the spot that could have been mine is now Randy Orton’s”. To me, I’m a big believer, You know everyone thinks we make the stars. The guys make themselves. We follow what the fans want. Make yourself relevant. Go out and make yourself relevant. If you have been doing the same thing for years, and you have been getting the same reaction, and you’re in the same spot, change. We tell the guys that all the time and yet they don’t do it. We try to help them.

“There is just a different mentality, guys have to be willing and I think a lot of them think that they do, but they have to be willing to go out there and take it. They got to be willing to step on toes. They got to be willing to jump ahead. It’s a business. Be willing to step up and not take no for an answer. I have been a big believer that if you’re good enough, the cream rises to the top and you will get the spot.”

The PG product: “We had pushed the envelope so far and you get to a point that after a while, its like, Vince will always use this expression, even though it was completely irrelevant from a timeframe standpoint, but we had “Chainsaw Charlie”. Where do you go after a guy with a chainsaw? But there is a certain point and time where you heard all this stuff on TV you have to pull it back to a point where it almost becomes sterile to get back to a point where you can begin to touch the envelope again where people go “OOH! Like we made it so sterile, like when CM Punk said Ass for the first time, people were like “Oh My God, he said ass!” Where ass was said every 4 seconds for a while. We have to pull it back. Will we ever get where we were before? No, because the world has changed.

“I just don’t think you can kind of do that programming now, with the way that the world is. We will never get back all the way there. But I think there is definitely a huge gap between where we were and where we went to. But I think for the right reasons. You have to get to a point where you almost sterilize it to make it seem edgy again. If you just back it off a little bit, it kind of seems a little watered down. So we just took it to where it needed to go to get it back to where it needed to be.”

:rolleyes:

If you asked some random person "which one of these two is a professional wrestler, and which is the fan" i think they would be surprised by the answer!

I think you'd be more surprised where Evan's fingers had been, before that picture was taken...

I don't know, I think that fan has sort of a Brodus Clay/Bully Ray thing going on.

As if we needed more reason to be jealous of George Clooney...

Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler is dating actor George Clooney, according to a story on the Perez Hilton Hollywood gossip site. You can read the story at PerezHilton.com.

Powell's POV: There's a nearly twenty year age difference between the two. In other useless information news, Stacy was six when Clooney first appeared on "The Facts of Life" as the handyman with the Wham! inspired haircut and the big eyebrows.

Still going strong, the Duchess of Clooneyville

In the US on the September 25th edition of The Cleveland Show, Ric Flair will voice an animated version of himself. Here is the description of the episode… "Cleveland is upset when he finds out that his best friend Peter Griffin came to Stoolbend and did not call him to hang out. In an effort to bond with the guys, Cleveland takes them on a camping trip hosted by guest star Ric Flair."

I predict a white light on the ring while he's wrestling. Must've been the complaints from other wrestlers that made the change

Yeah, but nowadays he doesn't exactly look like he did in the 80's

MitchKoobski

Ric and Hulk currently look like pieces of leather that was made in the 1980's.

steelcityblues

CMpunked

To be fair, they have got made a dam good cartoon version of 80s flair.

There's a piece in the Irish Indo today, way back towards the end, which works along the lines of "Fair play to Clooney for dating a taller woman, but what is an A-lister doing with the likes of a lowly former wrestler in Stacey Keibler." It kind of annoyed me as a wrestling fan :mad:

If it was a man that wrote that and if he is reading this, you don't deserve a penis for not admiring George for pulling Stacey:pac::pac:

Some of you probably remember Bull Nakano from mid 90s WWF:

Here’s a crazy story. Keiko “Bull” Nakano, a pro wrestling Hall of Famer who has had almost nothing to do with pro wrestling since leaving the business in 1996, announced that she would have her retirement show on 1/8 (which is also her 44th birthday) at the Tokyo Dome City Hall. The former monster, Nakano was down to 130 pounds last year when she got married to kickboxer Daisuke Aoki. After leaving wrestling, she attempted but failed to qualify for the LPGA tour, but lived in Orlando for many years working as a golf pro at a local course. She returned to Japan at some point and wanted no communication with wrestling, but just recently reappeared at a show. She said that she would play Bull Nakano for the final time on that show, but would not wrestle, as a 1997 operation (I believe a knee operation but both her knees and back were shot by her mid-20s because of the physical style she worked at her size, she was actually one of the ten best female wrestlers of all-time and as far as a pure worker, the best of the 200 pound plus women). To do so, she said she’s eating heavily now, working on putting weight back on. She said she’s now 187 and her goal is to be at Bull Nakano weight of 220 by 1/8. If she wants to play Nakano, she also must be collecting every can of hair spray sent to the city of Tokyo. When she was wrestling, the women had a joke that there was a hole in the ozone layer in Tokyo right above her apartment. The expectation is many of the legendary women stars of the early 90s would likely be on the show, and they already announced her former tag partner and later rival, Aja Kong, to be appearing.

Here she was in 2010 looking very cute on the left:

If it's a man writing celebrity gossip stuff, he probably admires George more than Stacey anyway.
