Until he became Godfather of the Mafia. Still surprises me how different he looks now than he used to. It's almost like seeing a completely different person than he used to in his early days on TNA and in WWE.

that's cause he's juiced to high hell

[LOC Veteran]

If he's juiced to hell, he sure needs to gain weight or something. He's thinner than a cracker at this point, and hardly looks like he's buffed up that much. Before we go convicting him of roids, remember that he does have serious injuries (including a broken neck among others) that may just require the use of HGH. I'm no doctor, but I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt before turning him into the next Benoit or something. Plus, he DOES have legal scripts for the HGH.

[LOC Veteran]

Haha, Angle retained his title on the TNA PPV tonight. Just awesome.

Watched the PPV tonight, I can't believe how small Kurt Angle has become. he's almost a damn twig. Me and my friends were so shocked at the changes.

[red.]

:laugh: One of the funniest best gimmicks ever!

:p I thought Hassan was awesome and most of the stuff he said on the mic was actually true. His music was kick-ass too.

Yeah like I said, if he's juicing, man it's some crappy juice he's taking lol

I could break him in half for gods sake.

Who else will win the TNA title...Angle...the face of TNA!

[LOC Veteran]

I think the face of TNA is AJ Styles. But, apparently the bookers don't. Plus, they could have easily give the title to Sting in the match, or god forbid Matt Morgan (they are grooming him for the world title anyways).

Either way, you have someone who was just in jail for violating a protection order, found with HGH (legally though) and a gold medal olmpyic winner. Come on TNA, gimmie a break.

Let us not forget, RVD was WWE Champ (finally!) and he got nailed for what speeding or smoking weed/drinking in a car and THE NEXT DAY literally he dropped the belt and was suspended. Yeah.

Variety has a new article where they take a look at the WWE RAW guest-host gimmick and reveal some future candidates for the spot that have yet to be mentioned before.

The article claims WWE has successfully become part of the "talk show circuit" where hollywood's finest stops by to promote whatever they have going on right now. The article talks about the Jeremy Piven and Seth Green hosted shows, quoting Stephanie McMahon talking about how this raises awareness among the brand in Hollywood and will hopefully translate to new viewers.

Variety claims the stunt is successful thus far, claiming the show has increased by 10% in viewership since the angle started.

The Variety piece claims the following celebrities are confirmed as future RAW guest hosts: Bob Barker, Al Sharpton, Nancy O'Dell, Floyd Mayweather and LeBron James.

Celebrities in talks with WWE to host RAW, according to Variety include: Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson, the Osbournes, Danny DeVito, Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa, Jimmy Fallon, Rachael Ray, MC Hammer, Woody Harrelson, Serena Williams and Ashton Kutcher.

UGH BLECH

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah if your a champ and you get done for anything criminal you lose the belt and your like midcard for a few months or away from the screen that **** won't happen in TNA because without Angle there is no real good main event..

[Victor Rambo]

Guys, is there any current diva in WWE which is hotter than Trish stratus? :shifty:

So true man, and I've said that before in this thread (I think). It's really a bad situation when you have someone who just got bailed out of jail 24 hours earlier retaining your biggest most important title in the company. I dunno, call me old fashioned, but if Hogan would have gotten nailed for that nothing would have happened, same with Stone Cold or the Rock. But Angle is NOT Hogan, Austin or the Rock. He may be an amazing wrestler (which he is) but he IS NOT one of the biggest names ever in wrestling.

Guys, is there any current diva in WWE which is hotter than Trish stratus? :shifty:

Hmmm, no I don't think so. The only one I think is hotter is Mickie James. I just saw some pics of her where she was on the beach or something and, my, god, in, heaven. I love belly buttons :(

Post match interview with Mick Foley (after he got stiched up, which Youtube already removed, sorry). This is why Foley is still GOD.

WWE diva "Victoria" planning move to MMA

Lisa Marie Varon is heading to the world of mixed martial arts.

Varon, perhaps better known as a World Wrestling Entertainment "diva" named Victoria, plans to make her pro MMA debut in the next year.

Her manager, J.T. Stewart, who also manages former UFC champion Rich Franklin, discussed the fighter's plans with MMAjunkie.com's Dann Stupp for the Dayton Daily News.

The WWE has sent two notables to MMA in recent years, including current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and undefeated heavyweight prospect Bobby Lashley.

However, unlike Lesnar and Lashley, who both had very successful collegiate wrestling careers, Varon is largely starting from scratch. The former fitness and bodybuilding competitor began studying jiu-jitsu earlier this year and is currently training other aspects of MMA in Louisville, Ky.

Despite Varon's recent debut with WWE rival Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Stewart said the nonrestrictive contract will allow his client to wrestle and compete in MMA simultaneously. (In fact, Lashley also recently signed a contract with TNA and debuted with the Spike TV-televised promotion back in April.)

While Varon is certainly marketable and athletic, she has one factor working against her: her age. At 38 years old, she will likely have a limited shelf life in MMA.

Regardless, Stewart said he hopes eventually to get Varon in Strikeforce, the only major U.S. promotion that promotes women's fights. Strikeforce hosted the historic Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos vs. Gina Carano event this past weekend, and the organization has recently bolstered it's female roster with notables such as Marloes Coenen, Erin Toughill, Sarah Kaufman and Miesha Tate.

However, Stewart and Varon have their sights set on another Strikforce-contracted fighter: Kim Couture (1-1), the ex-wife of former UFC champ Randy Couture.

Sad she left the WWE. She was actually one of the divas the could ACTUALLY WRESTLE. I also don't get why these wrestlers try and fake their retirement only to go to TNA. "cough" "cough"Kurt Angle.

[LOC Veteran]

She didn't really leave WWE, she was more or less forced out like Lita and all the others over the last few years. She also didn't want to have such a hectic schedule, and figured TNA would be much better for her (which it is, they only do like 250 dates a year, compared to like 320 with WWE).

Not to mention, TNA has the best women's wrestlers for awhile now. Though, Gail Kim and Mickie James and a couple others in WWE are pretty damned good.

[Rappy Veteran]

Mickie James and Gail Kim are the only women wrestlers I like atm.

I bet LOC is a fan of...

;)

[Gio Takahashi]

Mickie James, Gail Kim and Melina for me. I find most of the other Divas to be annoying.

[SolidSapphire]

I agree Mickie James is like the second coming of Trish Stratus although not to compare. I've liked Gail Kim but i haven't really seen much to like her a whole lot. I used to love Lita rock the ring but she is retired now. I used to love Dawn Marie but i don't remember if it was because she could wrestle or if she was just hot. :laugh: She is from NJ!

[Rappy Veteran]

Kurts is smalllll

[SolidSapphire]

I know he lost a lot of muscle since the WWE days. Not necessarily a bad thing though.

[Victor Rambo]

The lesbian angle between Trish & Mickie james was so awesome. :shifty:

[Mazhar]

Kurts is smalllll

Well, Kurt was never a muscular man, even in WWE. But really, in these days, he looks like a cruiser-weight!

TNA could give him the X-Division title! :p

[Gio Takahashi]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has decided to let Don West go as an announcer. This week's television tapings will be his last broadcasts for the company. Mike Tenay and Taz will be the announcing team going forward.

West will remain with the company and received a promotion in the merchandising department.

YES!

[Rappy Veteran]

haha finally! Taz is awesome!

[Mazhar]

I thought Taz decided to just leave, not from WWE only but overall.
