How was money in the bank? I heard a lot of praise for the Ownes/Cena match again?
the beast incarnate
I haven't messed with WWF since I was a kid / teenager, but is it me or have wrestling names become super lame ???. Wrestlers have the most corny/generic wrestling names now ahahahaha. Back in the day wrestling was creative, each wrestler had their own identity/character and monikers that reflected that (Sorta like rap names). Like I said, I haven't messed with wrestling for a long while, so I could be wrong ????. I just feel though (from what I've seen), that wrestling has lost it's creativity.
RIP to Nature Boy Buddy Landell

---James Storm leaving TNA after Slammiversary. A possible invasion angle involving TNA and Global Force Wrestling?
Te mass exodus from TNA continues, as Brian Fritz at Sporting News is reporting that James Storm requested his release from TNA and had it granted. You'll remember, he signed a multi-year deal just over one year ago. His final match for the company, at least for the time being, will come at the Slammiversary pay-per-view against Magnus.
That's also Magnus' last match with the promotion.
Again, for now.
That's because PW Insider is reporting that this isn't so much about Storm and Magnus leaving the company for good as it is a fundamental shift in the way TNA conducts its business. Because while they run a wrestling show on Destination America, they aren't exactly a wrestling company that operates as such, running less and less shows as time goes on.
That means less and less money for the talent.
So instead of attempting to lock them down to exclusive contracts, TNA is electing to allow them to work as free agents, only bringing them in for tapings. So they're still in future plans, they'll just be able to supplement their income with outside work without any restrictions.
And if WWE comes calling, yes, they can work out a deal much like Samoa Joe did.
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that there is skepticism within TNA on every release we've seen over the past couple weeks because of Global Force Wrestling and the possibility that it's all kayfabe for an invasion angle. Magnus, for his part, is already scheduled for GFW tapings in Las Vegas next month. That doesn't mean each wrestler's leaving TNA isn't totally on the up and up but this is the wrestling business.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Check Two, you're so silly.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I love Hulk Hogan. He's my favorite wrestler and he beat a lot of good wrestlers. I remember the first time I saw him pick up Andre The Giant and slammed him in WrestleMania 3. I couldn't believe that because Andre was very big. RIP Andre The Giant.
Hulk Hogan’s fellow WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is “shocked” by N-word comments that have cost Hogan his wrestling contract.
http://i0.wp.com/hiphollywood.com/wp...1.21.57-PM.png
“It’s 2015 and the N-word should be eradicated from the English language in my opinion,” Booker T, real name Booker Tio Huffman Jr., wrote on Twitter Friday. “I am shocked by the statements made by Hulk Hogan. It’s unfortunate, but that’s something that he’s going to have to deal with.”
The African-American wrestler’s comments come after audio has surfaced of Hogan dropping the racial slur in multiple circumstances. Although Hogan has apologized for using the offensive word while discussing his daughter Brooke Hogan’s dating life “during a conversation” caught on camera eight years ago, he also questioned in a 2012 radio interview why Booker T could use it and he could not.
“Well, Booker T used to do that to me, and every time I pull up YouTube there’s that famous thing with Booker T and his brother is there and they’re all talking trash, and Booker T says, ‘I’m coming for ya Hogan, you ni-er’ — and not ‘ni-a,’ he goes ‘ni-r,'” Hogan said.
Booker T said on Friday that he regrets using the racial epithet during the segment Hogan referenced.
In a 2011 interview, Booker T calls the comment captured in a 1997 WCW promo his “most embarrassing moment.”

“I’m from the street and that’s a word that use loosely all the time in the neighborhood, and I was just intense, I was caught up in the moment and it slipped out,” Booker T explained. “I thought I was going to be totally blackballed from that. And Hulk Hogan actually came to me and told me not to feel bad about it, but said, ‘You know what? I’m a good N-word.”

I've known @HulkHogan for 25 years. Here he is hanging with Kylin in NJ. There isn't a racist bone in that mans body.
https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/dennis-ro...205347064.html
Ahh N word hypocrisy is so good. The same people who say "well it has two meanings" are the same ones that go on about the confederate flag. Wrestling is gay though and I'm surprised hulk hogan is still around in 2015 lol
The man should be reinstated back in the WWE. It's politics with all of the stuff going on with the police and that shooting that occured in Charleston, SC. Firing Hulk Hogan wasn't a very smart business move. I know for a fact that other wrestlers have used the n-word, said 'faggot, talked smack about women, etc. Hogan should received a warning.
He should've just used the word 'wigga' and he would've been alright.
"I'm a racist, to an extent. Fucking niggers!!"- Hulk Hogan
Whoever denies that he is a racist and, as his own quote reveals that he is indeed a racist, you must be racist yourself, HIGHLY DELUSIONAL, or both!!
The nerve of this clown to even compare himself to Obama after saying what he said above alone is despicable. The context in which they used the word is COMPLETELY different and he totally set himself back with this.

I've noticed that there are a lot more people supporting Hogan(of all races) and don't think he's racist, than not.
LOL@IronSheik hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Who cares if Hulk Hogan doesn't like blacks. I'm still a fan of his and i could care less that the WWE fired him and won't let him wrestle. He's been retired for a long time and i'm sure he probably doesn't wanna wrestle anymore because he's old. I get so tired of blacks getting upset about whites calling them niggas when black men call each other niggas all the time and it's no big deal LOL.
Is Hulk Hogan's daughter dating a black man?
Hulk Hogan isn't retired from wrestling.
Oh ok. I thought he was retired. How old is he? Why did he say niggas? Did a black man opponent who he was supposed to wrestle piss him off?
it was a private convo that was recorded in Bollea's home (similar to Donald Sterling)...
The Enquirer and Radar have published excerpts of transcripts submitted to a Florida court overseeing Hulk Hogan’s $100 million lawsuit against Gawker Media. In the transcripts, reportedly transcribed from a sex tape depicting Hogan having sex with the wife of Tampa-area radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, the wrestler reportedly discusses his daughter Brooke Bollea’s business and personal relationships with a “black billionaire,” who apparently offered to fund his daughter’s burgeoning music career, and the billionaire’s son. Some excerpts:“I don’t know if Brooke was f*cking the black guy’s son,” Hulk raved, the sources add.It is not precisely clear how the Enquirer or Radar obtained the transcripts, which are currently under seal in Pinellas County, Florida. According to the tabloid, “an extensive news probe uncovered five independent sources who provided the dramatic contents of the tape to this publication.”
“I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever.” ...
According to sources, he said: “I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!
“I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger.”
SMFH Jesus Christ, dude.
Did he really drop F'n N-Bombs that many times in the convo?
Once was enough to make the point, that was overkill.
Still, people shouldn't be running tape on celebs in their own home for the purposes of extortion, blackmail, spreading gossip w/e.
Can't Hogan sue the fuck out of whoever recorded this shit?
If that doesn't constitute invasion of privacy I don't know what does...
Yeah people do need to stop recording people's conversations in their homes because that's not cool and they're using the conversation if they say something racist to give to the media to get paid LOL. Who cares if Hulk Hogan says something racist in his home. That's his business if he doesn't like blacks. That's not gonna make me stop being a fan of his.
--- Kamala says he brought a gun for a potential confrontation with Andre the Giant, defends Hulk Hogan, feels Vince McMahon didn't pay equally
The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast with Kamala
Interview available at tmptow.podomatic.com
Is the response to the Hulk Hogan controversy: The way I see it is, I didn't see it like that when I was growing up. But over the years, I guess I'm more mature and the way I see it now is we have our little things that we say about white people. Not that we mean harm by doing it, we do it in privacy. We have little jokes and have fun about it. This is me personally now, I do not think Hogan meant harm by saying that and Hogan is my brother until he decides not to be.
His relationship with The Hulkster and if he ever felt unfairly treated by him: We had a good relationship. Hogan, he was the world champion and to me, and I'm not knocking any other champions, but he was the most re-memorable champion from my point of view that I've ever been around. He was not snobby, he would always come to me and I guess that is why we had such good matches. He would always come to me and say 'Hey, brother, what are we gonna do tonight?' Now that's a champion asking me what I want to do and my input and we would put together our match just like that. Hogan would get in that ring and he would sell for me and make it look like I was killing him. I was happy for him to make his comeback. He was just a sweetheart, that's all I can say. Mostly all the matches I had with Hogan stand out to me. Not because he was the champion, that's part of it too but he was such a colorful guy. They could hit that music and the people would go wild.
Hogan helping Kamala get into WCW: He called me up and said "Brother, I need you to come down here and work with me and talk to Eric Bischoff about your contract." I could never get Eric on the phone so I went on anyway without a contract and when I did see Eric and asked him about the contract Eric told me "wait for a while and let me get a good look at you." Now I've been all over the world and if he hadn't looked at me in all of that time, he wasn't going to look. But I worked without a contract and I went to Hogan and I said "look, brother, I'm going to have to leave here and just go on and be a little old truck driver like I did in 1970 before I got into the business." He said let me go talk to him, he talked to him, and it was just a hair better. The last straw was when they booked me against Randy Savage and they told me they wanted me to put Randy Savage over and I had just got a bad bad paycheck so I told Hogan, brother, I'm leaving right now, the money is just not right. I walked out and I haven't seen Hogan since and that was in '95.
Finding out his pay was drastically smaller compared to his opponents: Summer Slam '92, that's when I worked with The Undertaker and we got paid two or three weeks later. Steve Lombardi who was my Kim-Chee, he was a part of the office and could get away with anything, so he went into Pat Patterson's dressing room and he came back out and he told that he knew how much I made for Summer Slam. He said you made $13,000. I didn't think that Pat would carry something like that in his book because he was just a booker. He showed it to me that Undertaker made a half million dollars. Steve told me himself that Vince (McMahon) didn't really like black people and even after Steve told me that Vince always treated me nice, I got along very good with Vince but that was before all the "kayfabing" and Steve told me that he (Vince) wasn't going to pay you the way he pays a white man. I kind of knew that or believed that anyway, but after I found out what The Undertaker made, if that was true, then I should have definitely made more than that.
An explicit example of comments made by Vince McMahon that could be considered controversial: There was one time where Chief Jay Strongbow was an agent when I was there and Chief came in and Vince was at one of the shows and he (Chief) was talking to Vince and I was sitting there and he told Vince that he was so full because he stopped at one of those soul-food restaurants and the food was so good. I heard Vince say "well, did they shine yours shoes?" So that made me think he was and that was kind of racial.
Did he pull a gun on Andre The Giant after he was called a racial slur in the ring: I had never wrestled him before and Andre and I were in the ring and there was a spot that the finishes were being told by the referee. I may have gotten a spot mixed up and Andre pulled me up off him and called me a dumb S.O.B and he jumped up and that's when I beat the hell out of him. Right there in the ring and that was for real. After that, the next night we were wrestling each other in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and I had a .357 magnum and I put it in my pocket and I went over to Andre The Giant in his dressing room, stuck my finger on his nose, and he threw up both hands. He didn't see a gun and said I'm sorry boss, I didn't mean to say that or do that. After that Andre and I had good matches everywhere we went and we went all over. I never had another problem with Andre.
