----So I crap on them all the time, so who do I like?? LAX [Homicide is so smooth], Junior Fatu [tons of charisma – just ask him] Christopher Daniels [hate the new gimmick makeup], Samoa Joe [always been a Joe mark], Christian [ditto], Raven [I still like his tired ass] My favorite team is “Motor City Machineguns” [Alex Shelly/Chris Sabin]. Don’t like the name that much, but love their work. I also am high on Kaz. He reminds me of…and some of you are going to say what??...but…he reminds me of Shawn Michaels. The size and smoothness of his moves. This guy will always be told he is too small, but given the right storyline and push, he could be a star. Not that stupid ass thing with Traci Brooks and Bobby Roode. Now, Roode has the “look”, but he needs mic skills to get over or a really good manager. Speaking of the “look”, Chris “Wildcat” Harris has really gained some weight since the last time I saw him. And finally, who can’t like Eric Young; right?? Am I the only one that thinks he looks like “Nightmare” Danny Davis from the back and Kevin Sullivan from the front??? Oh yea, I also like Traci Brooks’ boobs!!!
----I am not always one to think conspiracy, what the hell is going on over at TNA?? They are using ODB, who has been working OVW apparently without a contract. They also have been going after Joey Mercury, who has been working as head trainer of the beginner’s class [I think] at OVW. Why would TNA try to get these two people?? I am totally unimpressed with ODB, especially since she does a “redneck cooler” gimmick. Mercury has cleaned up his act, but why would both of them working OVW go to TNA?? Just seems strange to me, but it probably all has to do with mighty dollar. ODB is there on her on and I assuming Mercury is also, so the money may be better. Will Vince get rid of them completely?? Or use them for spies!!!
----Speaking of OVW, the net rumors have been saying that morale is low in OVW and everyone is scared about what is going to happen with them. I am hearing the opposite. I have been told the guys are happy that they might get called up for their talent and not because they might be a big monster on the juice. The main thing is that the “advantage” that some of the guys juicing might have had are not going to have it now. OVW had two students test positive a week or so back. WWE will not be touching them. The OVW students all have to be tested and be licensed to wrestle in the state of Kentucky. Even if you were just going for a tryout, you would have to take a drug test and get a Kentucky license. So, they are taking the testing and such serious. Maybe some of the guys that relied on the juice to give them the “look” may be worried, but overall the guys that can work should be happy with the opportunity.
----Dave Heath, Gangrel aka Vampire Warrior, is now porn star director. He stated in an interview that was posted on www.wrestlingobserver.com that “It’s just wrestling ah…maybe it just gotten too sleazy for me.” Oh I just loved that!! I compared the AIDS scare to the steroid scare not too far back and how the sex industry cleaned them selves up. How different are these two businesses?? It is funny that wrestling is considered sleazier than porn, but many people let their kids watch wrestling?? I take my kids to wrestling, but would ground them for life if I caught them looking at porn. Some of us smarks one time started using wrestling terminology to review porn movies. Great workers = girls that loved what they were doing. Tag team = threesomes. Natural or help from the doctors = boobs. Chokehold = chokehold. And back in the day, we would say things like he juiced bad, which meant he was bleeding bad and in porn, well…juicing was something else. LOL
----Well, that was the late Monday edition of “Coach’s Corner.” Please join me on Thursday when I will spend most of the column reviewing two wrestling related items that might interest a few of you.
