Aaaaand Kristal is now gone as well. Don't know what's up with this one yet, but it sounds like there might be some juice to this firing.
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.

I can't seem to remember which one is Kristal. :confused:

Kristal was the one recently involved with Teddy Long in the storylines, and now we know the details, but it turns out it wasn't as interesting as I thought. For those who avoid spoilers, you might want to dodge this post, but since Kristal's gone now I think the odds are that this whole story is now out the window as well.

So, the original plan was that Teddy's heart attack was all a setup by Kristal and Vickie Guerrero as a plan to get Vickie in a position of power, so obviously they would both become heels. In a couple of months, it was going to turn out that Edge had actually put Kristal up to the whole thing as a way of getting back at Teddy for stripping him of the title, resulting in Edge and Kristal becoming the new version of Edge and Lita.

What happened is that Kristal did not want to do that angle, instead wanting to be moved to Raw so she could travel with her real life boyfriend Bobby Lashley. Basically, WWE decided that if Kristal wasn't willing to do what they asked of her, they had plenty of other divas who would, and so they let her go.

So...my own personal opinion here, I think Kristal was being lame. Doing the shtick with Edge would have given her the opportunity to do something new and grow as a character, and besides that, if you're asked to do something, then you should do it. However, I do also think it sounds like WWE reacted a little overmuch.

You don't refuse a story line when you are a minor character... Raj didn't even remember who she was.

Silliness. What are these people thinking? It's one thing to say you are not comfortable being slammed through a table but to refuse a story line that it is harmless is just crazy.




The black representation in the WWE is really weak right now.

Booker T was the only good person they had. Lashley is great but he has no personality

Brock Lesnar HAS signed to fight in the UFC

Quote:
 
Source: UFC.com

Cincinnati, Ohio (USA) – International superstar Brock Lesnar has already achieved high grades for his transition from pro wrestling to mixed martial arts. Now the former NCAA Champion and four-time All-American is ready for the next step in his career - taking on the best heavyweights in the world in the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) organization.

UFC President Dana White announced the signing of Lesnar to a promotional contract during the pay-per-view broadcast of UFC 77 at the US Bank Arena.

“I don’t think there are any other pro wrestlers that can make the transition to MMA, except for Brock Lesnar,” said White. “And if you look at his amateur wrestling credentials, his size, and what he’s done, this guy can end up being a force in the heavyweight division of the UFC.”

“If you want to go with the NFL of the fighting game, it’s the UFC, and it was an easy choice for me,” said Lesnar. “Obviously I don’t think I’m ready for a title shot right away, but I will be there, and I’m not gonna turn down any opponent because I’m here to prove myself. I’m not here to pick and choose my fights. I’ll fight whomever they want. I don’t make the fights; that’s not my job. I’ve got one job to do and that’s to fight.”

The date and opponent for Lesnar’s UFC debut will be revealed in the near future.

A native of Webster, South Dakota who now makes his home in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, the 6 foot 3 ˝ , 265 pound Lesnar first made a name for himself as a wrestler at Webster High School, compiling a 33-0 record in his senior year. This success eventually led him to Bismarck State College and the University of Minnesota, where he was a four-time All American, two-time Big Ten Champion, a second place finisher in the 1999 NCAA Championships, and the 2000 NCAA National Champion.

After finishing his college career with an astounding 106-5 record, Lesnar became a household name as a professional wrestler, and even had a short stint in the NFL® with the Minnesota Vikings.

In 2007 though, Lesnar was in need of a new challenge in his life, and he turned to mixed martial arts, where world-class wrestlers like himself have had enormous success throughout the sport’s history. On June 2, 2007, Lesnar made his long-awaited MMA debut and took only 69 seconds to destroy Min Soo Kim with strikes that led to a submission.

Lesnar’s signing to the UFC bolsters a talent-rich heavyweight division that includes former PRIDE heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira, Cheick Kongo, former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia, Brandon Vera, Gabriel Gonzaga, Mirko Cro Cop, Fabricio Werdum and Heath Herring.
What is the terror of death?
That we die, our work incomplete.
What is the joy of life?
To die knowing our task is done.

They also have Shelton Benjamin, who I still haven't heard any good reasons for why he hasn't been pushed. The only legitimate knocks against Benjamin that exist are that his mic skills are lacking (although until he gets an opportunity to cut an actual promo, I want to put an asterisk next to that one), and that he doesn't exactly have a fleshed-out character (which is not really his fault). He is as talented in the ring as anyone they have on the roster, and he also has a natural charisma about him.

Elijah Burke is someone who, while I don't think he's ready for a massive push yet, could very well become a main-event player for the company, or at the very least an upper-midcard guy. Lots of talent both in-ring and on the mic.

Most significantly, though, MVP has recently become one of WWE's single most entertaining acts. His feud with Matt Hardy has been the best thing WWE has had going for it over the last few months, and he has shown an aptitude for really playing a heel well while also putting on good matches that none of us thought he had when he first debuted. MVP is a guy who within the next year could become a legitimate title contender, and possibly even champion.

That said, though...outside these three, I agree that there isn't much worthwhile African American representation in WWE. Lashley is one of those guys who just gets a push because Vince is angry he lost Brock Lesnar, Boogeyman still just sucks, and while Mark Henry and Big Daddy V deserve credit for the improvement they have both shown recently...the fact is, they're still Mark Henry and Viscera.
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.

MVP is great very funny. Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke are very good as well. But Booker T is a main eventer. I don't think any of them are really main event people yet. MVP is getting there... he has only been here a year... But I really enjoy him more than a lot of the older guys.

How much did they have to pay Big Daddy V to take his shirt off?



And how much will it take to pay him to put it back on again?

Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and make bad decisions.

Candice looked like she was dead. I'm surprised she woke up. That is the worst fall I have seen in years.
Wow.
The match ended about 10 minutes before it was supposed to that is why we saw her on the stretcher.
I am always afraid that someone is going to get hurt when I watch the women fight. I'm reminded of GLOW where people were getting hurt on the air. I hope she is OK.




On a lighter note...Super Kick 3 weeks in a row...lol
