'Til I Can't Go No More- Rare Interview with Rey Mysterio Jr.

Great interview with Rey Mysterio Jr, conducted by Peter Rosenberg.  In this fifteen minute clip, Rey delves into his health and Edge's sudden retirement, his wrestling childhood, saying he was "born to be in the business."  No doubt.  He theorizes about a heel turn and whether he could actually pull it off and concludes with a weighty discussion about death and dealing with loss.  Mr. Rosenberg is an extremely personable interviewer and there is no wonder he is allowed access to high profile 'superstars.'

You Almost Hit Me in the Nuts You Asshole!- Botchamania 175


Great Botchamania this week folks.  The usual mix of missed spots and tears in the fabric of Kayfabe is accompanied by two new segments- one is the Michael Cole and Mick Foley commentation of Shea Stadium WWE 24/7 footage, the other being a Chimel Wildline, which is basically WWE Ring Announcer Tony Chimel fucking up his job over and over and over again while Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler try to help him get it right.

Big Andy Wins Tough Enough; Travels Back in Time a Decade


I have been watching Tough Enough pretty regularly this season, especially so since I do not follow the WWE product closely and this was a good way to watch WWE programming without investing too much time.  The show was decent, my interest waning after indie regular Matt Cross got axed for not making the other contestants look like tards.  Can't say I am surprised it was Andy who won, Luke is deuche-tacular.  Overall I like the format and the hosts/trainers a bunch so I am sure I will youtube up season 2. 

We all saw the slap and the stunner coming, but that didn't take away from my sense of dejavu.
