LOL, Wresslin' Cavalcade of Wrestling and LOLing!

Yes, dear readers, it's that time again. Our news fields have grown beyond the strength of our four deft hands, and it's time to clear cut the damn thing so fresh news can grow in its place. It's time for a LOL, Wresslin' news round-up. We do these from time to time when a number of stories crop up and we don't have much to say on any of them, so we throw them all together in one super blog and you think you're getting a boatload of great content! It's a little game we like to play.


First up, we have good ol' J.R., who likes to rattle on from time to time over at his blog, as if he can come anywhere close to what we do over here. But we let him entertain himself.

It's actually a pretty good read every now and then, and he doesn't seem to mind to get down and dirty about the wrestling business. Naturally, we wanted to know what he thought about the hot new pay-per-view "EXTREME RULES!!!!!" (emphasis added, but it should totally be there to begin with.) Imagine our surprise to find out that he's a little trepidatious heading into this Sunday:

It is ridiculous to assume that human beings can wrestle in so many diverse bouts in such extreme circumstances and people not get hurt. I can virtually guarantee you that "Extreme Rules" will see some formerly, able bodied individuals head to the "Injured List" after Sunday night. I hope that I am wrong.

Looks like someone doesn't want to see some blood and guts, do they Jim?


Actually, this should probably be filed next to the story about Ric Flair missing the adoration of the fans in the "Also, the sky is blue" file. Seriously. The word "extreme" is in the title. Of course someone is going to get hurt. Somehow we think that's the point.

Speaking of getting hurt, one person who doesn't need any help in that arena is one Mr. Ken Kennedy, aka Kevin Nash for a New Generation.

Like Pepsi, but with injuries.

Kennedy made a grand return at Raw's big show in Los Angeles, and then promptly got hurt. Hmm, we seem to remember another wrestler doing that exact thing.



So WWE did what most companies would do with a guy who doesn't feel like staying healthy enough to show up at work - they canned his ass. Yes, Mr. Kennedy will no longer be gracing a Raw or Smackdown ring, not that he has in the last year anyway.

But we should disclose that both of us are pretty big Kennedy fans. Allow us transport you back in time to August of 2005, when SummerSlam set up shop in Washington, D.C. Laugh Twin Adam still resided at university, and Laugh Twin Matt had wrangled all the cattle he needed that month, so he took a trip up to the seat of our nation's government to watch a little rasslin'. And the night before, the two sat in Adam's apartment watching Velocity. Yes, this was a Saturday night in a city with a halfway legitimate bar scene. We're that damn cool.

Disregarding our lady-killing powers, we were awarded with the first looks at one Mr. Ken Kennedy, wrestling one of his first matches with the WWE. This dude was solid in the ring, comandeered an announcer's microphone, and said his name twice. We were total marks from day one. We even spent part of the next night's even trying to convince even bigger wrestling fans that they should check out this Kennedy fella. Well, him and Rob Conway.

Damn it, we're gay.

In any case, we hope to see Mr. Kennedy reappear soon somewhere. Please, though, take some time to really get yourself health and make a good run in the business this time.

Maybe stop doing things like this? That's just dangerous, man!

Finally, we have some more Kennedy-related news, as the WWE Champion Randy Orton flips the flip out on some douchey Mexican reporter when he suggested that the leader of Legacy might possibly be soft and injury-prone. If you haven't seen this yet, check out how helpful we are:



Now, certainly this seems to be a work, as we all know that the Randy one is really a sweetheart deep down and just loves having a good time.

Just a rock hard good time.

However, it's naturally concerned enough of you out there to think that Randy might be down in paradise shoving around all the Mexican "journalists" he can find. So much so that it prompted this dude to make a video directing to you a link in his description field that linked to the Orton video.

It makes about as much sense as what we explained.

Just watch it.

So that's a good look around the wrestling world at the moment. Of course, there's always more going on at any point in time, like Chris Jericho's band Fozzy releasing a sample track from their new album, but if anything in that sentence sounded remotely interesting to you, you need to trip off a cliff.
