That belt really is cursed. Back in '05, Batista had to cut his run short due to an injury. In '06, Rey is holding the belt, but due to his own injuries, he cuts back his schedule for a while before officially taking time off, and thus they get the belt off of him. Mark Henry was supposed to win it from him, but he gets injured, so it goes to Booker. This year, Undertaker wins the belt and has his run cut short due to an injury. They plan on giving the belt to Kennedy, but he gets hurt and WWE changes their mind to give it to Edge. Now Edge is hurt, so he has to drop the belt.

o.o That's a dangerous belt to have, or be slotted to win.

maybe that's why they gave it to him so they can have an excuse to get rid of the worse wrestler in the company :lol:


you know i never thought about this till now but shouldn't this thread be in the Entertainment forum since it is branded as Entertainment not an actual sport?

Another Wrestler's 'Untimely' Death
John Kronus Found Dead in Girlfriend's N.H. Apartment
John Kronus, right, gained acclaim for his part in Extreme Championship Wrestling's champion tag team the Eliminators. Kronus was found dead at his girlfriend's New Hampshire apartment earlier this week. (Handout) By DAVID SCHOETZ
July 20, 2007


Authorities in New Hampshire found former professional wrestler John Kronus dead in his girlfriend's apartment after responding to a call describing a 34-year-old "untimely death."

While police are not calling the wrestler's death suspicious, an autopsy and toxicology report are required because of Kronus' youth.

"Because of his age, an autopsy will be performed in Concord," Sgt. Chris Adams, a spokesman for the Laconia, N.H., police department, told ABC News. "They'll determine the cause of death, and most likely they'll do the toxicology report."

Kronus, whose real name was George Caiazo, wrestled from 1989 to 2002, gaining acclaim for his part in Extreme Championship Wrestling's champion tag team the Eliminators. The ECW was purchased by the World Wrestling Inc. in 2001.

The death came the same week that toxicology reports revealed 40-year-old wrestler Chris Benoit had elevated levels of testosterone in his body when police say he systematically killed his wife and son before hanging himself the weekend of June 22.

Since the Benoit family was found dead, professional wrestling has come under fire for the disproportionate number of wrestlers who have died early since 1985. Wrestling fans grown accustomed to news of wrestlers dying young were no lo longer alone.

Earlier this month U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., called for Congress to investigate steroid allegations in professional wrestling.

"Between 1985 and 2006, 89 wrestlers have died before the age of 50," Stearns told the Baltimore Sun. "Of course, not all of these deaths can be attributed to steroid use. However, this abnormally high number of deaths of young, fit athletes should raise congressional alarms."


Authorities Find 'Nothing Suspicious'
The local fire department received the call shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday and responded with police to an apartment just north of Laconia's downtown area, according to Adams.

Authorities found Kronus dead upon arrival, and he was surrounded by neighbors and his girlfriend, according to Adams.

"There was nothing at the scene that pointed to anything suspicious as far as foul play," Adams said. "But whenever you have someone that young passing away, you definitely want to do the autopsy to see what happened."

There are a lot of classic ECW guys that, for whatever reason, WWE just sort of doesn't include when they're highlighting the company's history. At one point in time, Kronus and Saturn as the Eliminators were arguably one of the best teams in the world. Kronus was a guy who when he was at his best, really was amazing. We're talking about a guy who was probably around the size of Snitsky who could do 450 splashes.

Ironically, Perry Saturn hated teaming with him, because the two were polar opposites personality-wise. Saturn was the kind of guy who took everything very seriously and was practically militant when it came to the business, while Kronus was always just laid back and never took much seriously.

Anyway, this is very sad. It probably won't be felt too much by the wrestling world since he'd fallen out of the spotlight for probably about 8 years or so, but it's still one that makes you go "Aw, man..."
Once upon a time, a man lived. This man was a man who really lived. He was the best there was at what he did, living. Living is what he did, and he did it well. In fact, he did it too well. He lived so well that he made other people stop living. That is why he had to be stopped. To stop him, they sent Rimo.

The Great Khali is without a doubt the most talented and and agile wrestler that the WWE has seen in years. I am proud to be a fan of the company he represents. Not only is he strong but he moves around the ring with the grace and style of a Cheetah.

Recently while doing press for The death of Benoit, Brett Hart was asked who was the best in the sport today. He replied, "Without a doubt The Great Khali,.He reminds me of myself when I was young"

We should all look forward to unparalleled wrestling skill and high flying action.

I look forward to the upcoming Rivalry between The Great Khali and Mark Henry. But be prepared that much action will make the luchalibres look like they are standing still...

I'm so excited....
