Wow, so my WWE Universe just had like, the most awesome moment ever.
The main event on Raw was Triple H v. The Miz for the #1 Contender for the WWE Championship (champion is Edge). As much as I love The Miz, I just can't pick him over Triple H, so I was controlling Triple H.
So, I win the match with relative ease. Miz, bless his heart, tried to put up a fight, and countered a few of my moves. But in the end, he fell to the Pedigree. Triple H wins, #1 contender, Miz becomes a victim of the shovel, a blooded and beaten victim. Right?
Well, the match is randomly restarted as a falls count anywhere match. Okay, so Triple H continues the beating on The Miz. And when the match inevitably makes it's way outside the ring, Triple H goes for the sledge hammer. Hammer shot after hammer shot, Miz is laying motionless outside the ring. Finally, Triple H hits the Pedigree on Miz outside of the ring.
Well, just as that happened, Edge makes his way to the ring. Yea, if I haven't mentioned it beforehand, Edge and The Miz have formed a stable together. So Edge rushes into the match, and starts attacking Triple H. Triple H and Edge take their scuffle into the ring, where Edge hits Triple H with a Spear. Meanwhile, while all of this was going on, The Miz decides to grab the sledge hammer...
And after Triple H got hit with a Spear, Miz decides to enter the ring and proceed to beat the crap out of Triple H with his own sledge hammer. After a bunch of hammer shots, and choking Triple H out with the sledge hammer, Miz goes for the pin, and the victory, becoming the #1 Contender.
I don't know how I'm going to continue this relationship with Edge and Miz, now that they are facing each other for the title. But I just thought that was a pretty epic happening.

Wow, that's pretty cool. This is the 2011 version?
Hogan must be feeling pretty good but I hope he doesn't risk his new health by getting back in the ring.

New Hogan pic. That must have been one hell of a back surgery he had. Its been years since he's been in this kind of shape.
Damn... I really don't ever want to see that man even attempt to wrestle again, but good for him. Despite all the ****** things he might have done, I still hate seeing these guys completely break down and live in pain. If this is any indication of how much relief those surgeries gave him then I'm happy for him. Let's just hope he doesn't take it as a sign that he has yet another "one last run" left in him.

For some reason, seeing the WWE logo at the top of this looks a bit odd for me.

Where Are They Now? Dean Malenko
By: Ryan Murphy April 13, 2011
I had about a 30-minute window to get to the hospital or I wouldnt be having this conversation with you.
Dean Malenko was remembering the day in late November of last year when a heart attack nearly killed him. It happened suddenly early one morning when health problems were the furthest thing from his mind. He was only 50, active, had worked out for years. Things like that didnt happen to guys like him.
But there he was, sweating profusely and losing consciousness as his friends rushed him to the hospital. Here, he would discover he had 100 percent blockage in his main artery the kind of episode most men dont come back from.
They call it the widow maker, Malenko said. Its actually what John Ritter died of.
It nearly took Malenko's life, too. In fact, he went under for nearly three minutes before resuscitation and defibrillators pulled him back. For just a moment, he was dead. Its a morbid thought, but Malenko looked at it like this: I now get a second opportunity at life.
If Deans second life started on that day then his first life began in Tampa, Florida, in 1960. The son of Boris Malenko, one of Floridas most hated grapplers, he was guaranteed an out-of-the-ordinary childhood from the very beginning.
It was hard to get friends to come over the house, Malenko said with a laugh. It was like, Is your dad going to kill me?
As a boy, Malenko saw America from the backseat of his fathers station wagon as the family traveled around the country in search of Boris next payday. These formative years were spent in beer-soaked rafters and dingy locker rooms where the oddball characters his father battled in the ring confused and frightened him.
"Haystacks Calhoun I still remember to this day, because when I first met him I cried," Malenko said of the 650-pound wrestling icon. "I was so upset, because he was so big bigger than life as a kid."
It was an uncommon lifestyle that Malenko had no plans of pursuing, but fate took its course. An exceptional amateur wrestler in high school, he had aspirations of succeeding in the sport, but an auto accident in his teenage years brought a sudden end to those dreams. Unsure of what to do with himself, Malenko began training at his father's Tampa wrestling school under renowned grappler Karl Gotch.
Gotch, a hard-nosed Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust, was known as the "God of Wrestling" in Japan for his unmatched influence on the craft. A legit tough guy, he had been all but blacklisted by American promoters after breaking former WWE Champion Nature Boy Buddy Rogers hand in a scuffle. Still, he was a devastating technician and a consummate trainer and his guidance would be an invaluable asset in Malenkos evolution into one of the masters of the mat.
But Malenko did not use his family name to immediately walk into a major North American promotion. Instead, he spent his early 20s in the rough rings of Japan where he competed in long, hard-hitting matches with legends like Dynamite Kid and Tiger Mask. It was a grueling way of life, but Malenko loved every minute of it.
It was such a great experience for me, because I got to see a variety of different styles, he said. It gave me a real education of what the business is about.
Working both as a single and a tag team with his brother, Joe, Malenko began to adapt and expand his style as he locked up with competitors from all over the globe. He learned the catch-as-catch-can technique from England's Marty Jones, brawling from Fit Finlay, lucha libre from an endless array of Mexican masters. These influences would all gel together to give Malenko a completely unique and effective ring style that would wow fans when he finally received his first major North American exposure.
That opportunity would present itself in 1994 when he debuted in ECW. Then known as Eastern Championship Wrestling, the promotion was gaining steam thanks to the dangerous hardcore matches that stars like Sabu and The Sandman had popularized. It should not have been Malenkos scene, but The Shooters mat game was quickly embraced by the usually hostile Philly crowds.
"My work stood out, because it was so opposite from what was going down there at the time, Malenko recalled. I was un-extreme.
Over the next year, Malenko captured both the ECW Tag Team Championship and ECW Television Championship, but the crowning achievement of his career would occur on August 26, 1995 when he battled Eddie Guerrero in a classic 2-out-of-3 Falls Match. By all accounts, the dramatic contest is one of the greatest matches in the promotions history and the bout that put both Malenko and Guerrero on the map. For Dean, it was not only a career highlight, but a cherished memory with a fallen friend.
"Every year on the anniversary of Eddie's death, I wake up and watch the match," he said.
It would be their last match in ECW, but not their last match together. Following their legendary encounter, Malenko and Guerrero both transitioned to World Championship Wrestling. The doomed promotion has long been the target of negative press, but WCW did showcase some of the most brilliant competitors of all time during a boom period in the mid-90s.
"[WCW] became a nightmare, but for the first two or three years it was good, Malenko revealed. Thats when they took a bunch of guys like Psicosis, Juventud [Guerrera] and Billy Kidman and put them in the cruiserweight division and it was fast-paced action. For the American audiences, it was like, Wow.
Then known as "The Man of 1,000 Holds" for his technical prowess, Malenko continued to forge a reputation as the best grappler around thanks to amazing matches against the likes of Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio. In fact, the Florida native's ring skills were so respected at the time that he was voted as the No. 1 wrestler in the world by Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine in 1997. It was the first time the honor had been bestowed upon a technician and, in many ways, signaled the peak of The Icemans career.
There would be other highlights, of course, including a run as a member of a reenergized Four Horsemen, but things in WCW started to sour by '98.
Once guys like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash ran roughshod over the business, it was not fun anymore, Malenko revealed. I saw myself and my comrades around me that loved this business more than anything become very disenchanted. It made it a struggle to go to work.
Dean existed in this poisonous climate for the better part of a year. He won titles and had solid matches with talented opponents, but he was unhappy. His friends were unhappy, too, and together they were about to stage a walkout that would shake up sports-entertainment.
On Jan. 16, 2000, Dean Malenko was finally ready to quit World Championship Wrestling and he was not alone. According to Malenko, there were at least 20 competitors ready to join him in the mass exit. But the closer the group got to the management offices, the smaller the crowd became.
Every time I looked over my shoulder, somebody darted into another room," Malenko laughed. "By the time I got to the door, there were about seven of us, but I didnt care. It wasnt about them it was about me.
The group, which included Eddie Guerrero and Perry Saturn, was tired of WCWs corrupt politics and rampant mismanagement and together they demanded their releases from Senior Vice President Bill Busch. The executive balked at first, but eventually gave in. It was a huge move. Suddenly, a handful of WCW's brightest stars were free agents and it wasn't long before WWE signed them to contracts. Within two weeks, Malenko, Saturn and Guerrero debuted on Raw.
For Malenko, it was a homecoming of sorts. In the mid-80s, he had actually worked as an official on various WWE shows, including a Saturday Nights Main Event where he kept order in a bout between Macho Man Randy Savage and George The Animal Steele. But what was more important to Malenko was the ability to work in a positive environment.
I was making a lot more in WCW only because Eric [Bischoff] was nice enough to spend [Ted] Turners money, Dean admitted. But my biggest goal was to make sure I finished out my career with a company that took the business seriously.
The Iceman competed in WWE for the better part of two years before retiring and had some memorable moments during this relatively brief run. He held the Light Heavyweight Championship for nearly a year, competed at WrestleMania 2000 and even had a series of unique intergender matches with Divas like Lita and Chyna.
It was fun with the girls, Malenko said. It wasnt fun trying to explain to my wife at home, but I had a good time with it.
By no means a main-eventer during his time in WWE, Malenko was always a gifted performer who could steal a show against an opponent like Scotty 2 Hotty or Essa Rios. Still, he knew when it was time to walk away from the ring and in the summer of 2001 he did just that. Dean has not competed since.
I never wanted to be one of those guys that had to go back to hear the roar of the crowd or collect another paycheck, Malenko said. In my mind, I did everything I wanted to accomplish.
Truth be told, The Iceman did not get very far when he decided to walk away from the ring. Immediately upon his retirement, the veteran was hired by WWE as a producer. In this role, he's looked upon to draw from his life in sports-entertainment in order to educate and instruct the young Superstar of today.
That was a little bit of an odd transition, because after 20 years of going to the arena with my tights and boots now Im going with a pen and a notepad, he admitted. But Im really happy I did it.
Working alongside fellow greats like Arn Anderson and Mike Rotundo, Malenko keeps a close eye on blossoming Superstars like Evan Bourne and Yoshi Tatsu and gives them advice on how to improve. If there's a video in WWE's library that will help them, he'll recommend it. If there's a maneuver that would work well in their arsenal, he'll show them how to hook it on.
There are a lot of young, talented guys with good heads on their shoulders, Malenko told WWE.com. Its part of my responsibility to take these guys and guide them in the right direction.
It's a responsibility the former United States Champion takes very seriously. For Malenko, it's not just a job. He sees it as his duty to carry on the legacy of the great sports-entertainers he's known in his life, from his father to his brother to his friends like Eddie Guerrero.
I feel responsible to give back, Dean said. I need to know that 10 years from now that this business is still intact and that I didnt work for 20 odd years for nothing.
Outside of his current role with WWE, Malenko spend his free time with his wife of 15 years and their three children. Since his heart attack last November, his family is even more important to him than ever.
I thank God that I was able to go home and see my kids, he said.
Although his health problems were serious, Dean did not take much time off before returning to work and has been doing well ever since. Hes started on a healthier diet and checks in regularly with his doctor, but the biggest change to his lifestyle has simply been the way he approaches the day.
"I kind of look at things a little differently," he said. "I really appreciate life."

Watched the parts of Smackdown with Edge and man that was some good stuff. I teared up a few times during his speech and it was just nice to look back on such a great career he had.

New Hogan pic. That must have been one hell of a back surgery he had. Its been years since he's been in this kind of shape.

That Nitro DVD cover is good. I'm really looking forward to that release. I just hope they give my boy Sting the due he deserves on it and spend the time talking about his importance to the show and WCW.
Hogan looks great! Despite his ego and his politics, I'm glad his back is better. Honestly, I wouldn't care either if he came back and wrestled a match as long as it was at BFG and it's against someone who can work the style of match he does.

Jack and OneInchBiceps were joined by the beautiful tandem of Torrie Wilson, Lilian Garcia and Candice Michelle. Catch their Touch Enough Recap show on www.ustream.tv/afterbuzztv after Raw every Monday.
Jack asked what should the contestants do when they meet wrestlers? Torrie says it depends on what wrestler you meet but you should shake everyone’s hand. Candice says it’s all about respect especially if they achieved what you wanted.
Jack asked how were they treated? Lilian said she was treated pretty well but a few whispers were said, she gave credit to Howard Finkel and Tony Chimel for training her. Candice Michelle said the men loved her and the woman hated her, she remembered Lita slapped her because she had the best spot to do makeup in the lockeroom. Torrie Wilson said no one had a welcoming party but she said everyone was pretty nice. She was happy to have Stacy Kiebler with her to keep up company. Jack asked what does the TV exposure on Tough Enough give for the losers? Lilian says its brilliant even if you haven’t won the competition you will get a contract because you are exposed to the world. Candice Michelle said WWE should wait to give contracts out after about a month not straightaway like what they have just done.
Jack asked was better for the winner to be on TV? Lillian says as long as they have planned and are ready its fine but depends on the push given by Vince McMahon. Jack asked their thoughts on the Alicia Fox versus Melina match from last week? Lilian said if that’s her favourite match, it’s her favourite match. Candice said she was new to the business so you can’t blame her. Lilian says she could do research on YouTube but how can she search people she doesn’t know.
Jack asked the girls how quickly did you get a passion into it? Candice said she watched when she was growing up, she had a Hulk Hogan doll. Candice said she stopped watching it for a few years when she moved to Los Angeles, but she had no regrets doing it, going to the ring early and getting respect. Torrie Wilson said she appreciated more in WWE then WCW, because she didn’t wrestle. Lilian goes it was rough for her and she didn’t know she was announcing till the morning of the show, she had to earn her respect which she did by learning wrestler’s towns and weights.
OneInchBiceps had a message from the board: Tommy D asked did Lilian enjoyed the feud with Howard Finkel? Lilian Garcia said it was her only match, she remembers doing a run-in and had a lot of fun. Jack asked if there was more pressure to do any more work? Lilian goes never because her role was different. Jack asked what was it like for woman in WCW? Torrie Wilson said it was hard especially at the power-plant where Madusa dropped her on her head. The experience was painful. Candice said her passion fell in love after about a year in the WWE. She enjoyed it often and it must hurt if you had no passion over.
Jack asked if it was hard to be friends of other woman? Candice said people would hate you and like you. It was just a bond which TLC have. TLC all said Stone Cold was the same character he is in Tough Enough. Jack asked their thoughts on Indie wrestlers not making it? Lilian said if you are good enough you will get in. Candice you have to make your dream come true and there are other ways to get in. Jack asked if they had any nick-names? They said that will be revealed later on. Candice said her Victoria and Lilian travelled together and Victoria was known as the “Queen-Bee”.
OneInchBiceps had a question from the board: Matt asked did she gain revenge on Charlie Haas for knocking her of the apron? Lilian said Charlie Haas felt really bad and they are still friends. It was good and it was turned into storyline.
Jack asked what advice would you give for the winner? Lilian said don’t have a big head and give respect when needed, Candice agreed and said be humble to people and they will give you the same. If you do the opposite they will get rid of you.

I'm enjoying Codys act a lot but would it have killed him to wear some pants out there?
Yeah they are. I loved the Cena vs Hogan one.
These are also fantastically put together.
