Resident Evil Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 There are several guys who do it. Which match are ou asking about in particular? Paul Boesch does Houston normally. Boyd Pierce is often paired with a wrestler or Watts on commentary. Ric Flair vs Butch Reed. Super Star Wrestling Pretty good match by the way. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ccOm-TZXFxw This is the kind of commentary that I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 According to the latest Observer, Big Show is on his way back to WWE. Yet another wrestler who rips the company on the way out and then comes back as soon as they show any interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.L.L. Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm not sure if this is apropos of anything, but.... ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- A number of entertainers were named in connection with an Albany-based steroid investigation, but they are not part of an ongoing criminal probe, according to a published report. The Times Union of Albany cited unidentified law enforcement officials in reporting Sunday that R&B music star Mary J. Blige, rap musicians 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean, and award-winning author and producer Tyler Perry may have received or used performance-enhancing drugs. Law enforcement officials have said evidence does not indicate that the celebrities broke the law, but that investigators are focusing on doctors, pharmacists and clinics that provide the drugs. Albany District Attorney P. David Soares launched the investigation into steroid trafficking last year. Soares is "not confirming, denying or discussing any of the names" involved in the investigation, said spokeswoman Heather Streeter Orth. A spokeswoman for Blige denied the singer had taken illegal steroids. Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for Perry, declined to comment. There was no response to calls Sunday and Monday seeking comment from representatives of other entertainers. While athletes use steroids and human growth hormone to get bigger, faster and stronger, the drugs can also lure other people with their supposed anti-aging qualities. Soares' multistate investigation has focused on Signature Pharmacy of Orlando, Fla. So far, 10 defendants have pleaded guilty and news reports have linked some professional athletes to Soares' probe. Soares has said Signature was at the center of a web of businesses and doctors that illegally wrote prescriptions for steroids. Authorities raided the company almost a year ago and its owners and operators are awaiting trial in Albany on related charges. Records shared with the Times Union and information from several cooperating witnesses on Long Island allege the celebrities received prescribed human growth hormone or steroids, the newspaper said. The newspaper said that Blige received the human growth hormone Jentropin and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in orders sent to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Her spokeswoman denounced the report. "Mary J. Blige has never taken any performance enhancing illegal steroids," Karynne Tencer told the Daily News. Former Sen. George Mitchell released a report last month on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. That report said former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski provided steroids and human growth hormone linked to several prominent players. Radomski pleaded guilty last year to charges that he dealt steroids to players for a decade. Congressional hearings are to begin this month on the Mitchell report.

Bix Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I really don't get why that level of star would use an internet doctor/pharmacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomk Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 It also doesn't say what type of steroids. Is Mary J blige using steroids for her vocal chords (which at this point pretty much every singer does) or is she using steroids that make her look cock diesel. I would like to see actual prescriptions here. Fifty Cent and Timbaland being on the juice is no surprise, like Bix them not going to a real doctor seems silly though. Of course I assume lesser stars aren't going to make the news. Cop: Hey totally confidential but Saigon is on the list of Signature users. Times Union of Albany: Who?

Bix Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Signature was specifically selling bodybuilding drugs, I believe. Plus I don't understand using an internet doctor/pharmacy for non-anabolic steroids, on top of the "why are stars this big using Signature" part.

tomk Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Mary J. Blige, 37 The Bronx native’s first album — “What’s the 411?” — debuted in 1992. Since then Blige has produced seven multiplatinum albums and won six Grammy Awards. In December 2006 Blige won nine Billboard Music Awards for her album “The Breakthrough.” Between August 2005 and January 2007 Blige allegedly received multiple shipments from an Orlando pharmacy of Jentropin, a human growth hormone, and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in orders sent to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel, MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and Clay Gym in New York City. At least one of the orders was mailed under the name “Marlo Stanfield,” which is the character name of a drug kingpin on the Baltimore-based HBO crime drama “The Wire.” Blige’s representative did not respond to a request for comment. So jentropin and oxandrolone and Marlo Stanfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.L.L. Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Dave sez.... Ken Shamrock and son Ryan (19) have signed multi-fight deals with EXC, and debut on the 3/8 show at London's Wembley Arena (Dave Meltzer has cornered Alicia Webb/Ryan Shamrock with the damning evidence) Dave: I want the truth! Ryan: Alright....Ken....he's my father. *SLAP* Dave: I said I want the truth! Ryan: He's my brother. *SLAP* Ryan: He's my father. *SLAP* Ryan: He's my brother. *SLAP* Ryan: He's my father. *SLAP* Ryan: He's my brother. *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* Dave: I SAID I WANT THE TRUTH! (He throws Ryan down in a heap on the floor. S/he starts sobbing loudly) Ryan: HE'S MY FATHER AND MY BROTHER! (Fin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Dave as Jake Gittes is a frightening thought. Wait... The Sham as Faye Dunaway might be even more creepy. John, wondering if Bob Myerwitz gets the John Houston role... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, wondering if Bob Myerwitz gets the John Houston role... Well, technically, it would be a transsexual Alicia Webb/Ryan Shamrock/Symphony as Faye Dunaway, and the Sham himself in the John Huston role. For multiple reasons, I guess this would also mean Vince Russo gets to be the thug who slices up Dave's nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're write... wasn't reading close enough. For multiple reasons, I guess this would also mean Vince Russo gets to be the thug who slices up Dave's nose. Russo is too much of a loadmouth pussy to actually cut Jake Meltzer's nose. The late Road Warrior Hawk would be good in that role... though only Dave probably would get that joke.

smkelly Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Chavo Guerrero Jr. is the new ECW World Champion.

I don't agree with this booking decision, but whatever, congratulations are in order for Chavo, regardless of how ridiculous it is. I think a problem may be that C.M. Punk is too strong, no one really buys any of ECW's mid-card challengers against him. I'm curious to see where this goes, because they can easily tie into the Edge/Misterio feud.

Cox Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 According to a posting on his website, Bobby Lashley has been released. So I guess this is the second time in as many years that a previous year's Wrestlemania headliner was fired before the next year's Wrestlemania.
