Wrestling Thread! Wrestlemania XXV...Texas!

Break the walls dooooooooown! Things are getting interesting in the WWE corner, but like Clo said "TNA FTMFW". The Outsiders are back also. lmao
 
I was kinda hoping that Jericho was going to come back during the Santino bit and those two would fued...that would have been awesome. xD

My brain would have exploded.

I love Santino, though. Sure, he's not very good in the ring, but I seriously laugh at everything he says. I can't wait to see who he feuds with next.
 
haha I remember that. Randy Orton should've followed the rock's example. Jericho owned Orton mic wise. But that in that video Rock owned Jericho lol.

omg he got completely owned. But you gotta remember Jericho has been in this business a long time and he has verbaly dueled with the best, since WCW. Orton will learn a lot from the outcome of this feud.
 
This was an interesting read from Batista on homosexuality. go figure, I'd be the one to post this. lol But for real, it is kinda interesting. :o

Spoiler:
As a child, how did your mother’s sexuality impact you?
It didn’t. It really didn’t. I don’t really remember my mom not having girlfriends. I never really thought about it. I don’t think I was really aware then. It’s not like my mom was making out with girls in front of us. [Chuckles] She just had her girlfriends around, and that’s how she referred to them—she called her girlfriends “girlfriends.” Even my dad—I don’t think I really ever noticed my dad that much either. I don’t have any strong recollection of him being with us for any long period of time.

Throughout your autobiography, you mention running with a rough group of kids. Were you ever made fun of for having a lesbian mother?
Never. I was a pretty tough kid. I don’t know if they were just too afraid to say anything or what. In San Francisco, it’s really no big deal, but I don’t remember ever getting any grief for it. And it was very obvious. My mom’s girlfriends weren’t the most feminine girls. It wasn’t hard to figure out, but I don’t remember ever hearing anything about it. Anybody who did would get a smack from me. I wasn’t afraid to stick up for my mom. She’s my mom, and I love her. I don’t care if she's got a girlfriend or a boyfriend. She’s my mom; I love her.

Various Web sites and features promoting Batista Unleashed describe it as “scandalous.” In the book itself, though, you mention your mother's being a lesbian quite in passing.
That is only a very small part of who my mom is. It’s not like it was some dirty secret I had to hide, and I think a lot of that comes from my her. She was never secretive about it. She never made us feel it was something to be ashamed of. I think the most important message about my mom is not that she’s a lesbian but that she’s a single mother who struggled to keep her three kids safe and alive, off the streets and out of prison, to keep food on the table. Those are the messages I wanted to convey, not who she was in a relationship with at the time.

For your grandfather, that your mother is lesbian was far less troubling than the fact she’s a Democrat.
My grandfather is actually a great guy, but I’ve never talked politics with him. [Laughs] Now he seems very easygoing, but back then he might have been a little more uptight. My mom is still kind of touchy about certain things around him.

You take time to thank Pat Patterson, who, though he was once tabloid fodder when he was basically outed in the 1980s, has managed to stayed relevant in the industry.
First of all, I love Pat to death. It took a long time for Pat to really warm up to me. He’s somebody who really loves our business. He really thinks you should pay your dues. Once he saw I really do have a passion for the business, I can’t even tell you how supportive he’s been. He’s openly gay; he’s not ashamed, and everybody knows about it. Honestly, nobody cares. We all respect Pat Patterson for what he’s accomplished and what he helps our company with. He’s somebody I always talk about my matches with on the road. He cares about the wrestlers. We could care less who he’s sleeping with at night.

It’s hard to imagine sexuality not being an issue in an industry so driven by ego—and testosterone.
It’s not. It’s not at all. I think our company -- and the industry in general -- is not today what it used to be. It’s also not the same industry it was 20 years ago. A lot of people have that “big ol’ redneck wrassler” stereotype still in their head. That’s just not what it is anymore. Our company has grown with the times. Any kind of discrimination like that in our locker rooms is not accepted. It’s just not cool.


Yay for gays I guess. haha
 
oh, double post!

btw - we need to get this thread up higher then the music thread so we can sticky it! ;p
 
Man during the whole Orton talking through the whole thing I was like you haven't beaten the undisputed champion. I still love Orton though even though he's a real dick and can't do mic work for shit.
 
I wonder what Vince will do for himself in WM24. Or if he'll even have a 'match' in it.
 
Hard to say really. I would say hornswoggle will get involved but a lot can happen between now and april or end of march.

Speaking of vince, I just got done watching royal rumble of 99. Thats the one that he one haha.

Oh god. haha That guy is just fucking ridiculous. xD
 
Yeah. Its hilarious watchig him interfer in Finely's matches but thats it. Getting him involved in this storyline just isn't that great. I hope he's not involved with Vince at mania. That will be dissappointing.
 
So yeah..Edge and Vickie guerrero making out...wtf?

I knew this story was coming out, but meh. I dont like it.
 
That just doesn't seem right really. I know guerrero is dead and all but if I had a good friend who died, it would be very akward to go making out with his wife. Just wouldn't feel right to me.
