To be fair, Hogan has got to play this whole thing up as much as possible.

It's possibly good for morale and gives everyone that extra edge to perform well come January...

Dutch Mantel's latest blog recalls a night that he and Undertaker went out drinking. The end result was Taker knocking out a fellow bar patron with one punch. "The bouncers had seated us at the front of the bar but when Mark left, he headed into the back where the rest rooms were," Dutch wrote in his latest blog. "As I was looking into the crowd of people toward the back looking for Mark, I saw some activity going on and I heard some loud yelling. Since Mark wasn't right beside me and he had been drinking, I had the wrestler's intuition that something was wrong. It took me 30 seconds to find out.

"Off I went to find Mark and as soon as I got close to the rear of the club, I saw some dude laid out all over the floor. Everybody was standing in a circle around the guy with some girl kneeling over him. He was in dreamland. I then saw Mark over to the side with the bouncers talking to him. I walked up and asked what had happened and the bouncer said that Mark had leveled this one guy with one shot and he dropped him like a bad habit." To read the full blog, visit DutchMantell.com.

- According to an article today by The Greenwich Times, the death of Eki "Eddie" Fatu is beign used against Linda McMahon in her Senatorial bid for the State of Connecticut. Opponents of McMahon claims that there is no proof that McMahon did everything in her power to prevent deaths in wrestling. Former wrestler Marc Mero, author Irv Muchnick and WWE's attorney Jerry McDevitt all commented, here are the highlights…

* Irv Muchnick On Linda McMahon's Responsibility: "I think she bears responsibility in the sense in that coal mine owners were responsible for the hazards coal miners faced in getting black lung and other illnesses."

* Mark Mero On Linda Running For Senate: "I've wrestled against 28 people who are dead. You often question, if you don't care about your own, who are making millions and millions of dollars, what do you care about the people of Connecticut?"

* Jerry McDevitt On WWE Providing Free Passes Instead Of Suspensions To Wrestlers That Failed When The Wellness Policy Started: "When you are going to embark on a drug testing program, there's sort of a fair notice concept."

- Also, the Fatu family and Dwayne Johnson were contacted for comments, and did not respond.

I think the only reason people even want to see Rock and Cena interact is because Rock could damn near bury Cena's career with one line.

 

[Nightmare]

lol, and it'd be beautiful.

Oh no no. You got it all wrong.

Cena would burn Rock with a goofy penis joke.

 

[Eric Draven]

And he'll probably give the Rock the Attitude Adjustment.

I really dig his double arm DDT an how vicious it looks. I liked when Foley did it but when I see McIntyre do it I see myself not getting up

 

[RetroNaz]

This might not win me over with you guys...but I was never a fan of Foley's double arm DDT.

It always seemed to lack any real power behind it.

I only liked when Foley did it on barbwire bats and other weapons cause no matter what that would do some damage but your right its not that powerful from him hence why I love how McIntyre does it

i thought i would bring this up

When was this, recently?

I was never a fan of Foley in general

I've only become that way with his TNA run

 

[Kane52630]

i dont know, i found it online

 

[Dr. Evil]

That was from an episode a few years ago, I forgot what it was all about though.

 

[enterthemadness]

Call me mad, but I like this card for tonight's iMPACT.

And this Foley.....just say that Russo and Mantel write good stuff? Which is winking at the viewers that we know it's scripted?

 

[Mr.Webs]

I was never a fan of Foley in general

I admit, he's really been tarnishing his legacy these past few years in TNA...but, really?

 

[enterthemadness]

did Scott Steiner just threaten to punch a 1 1/2 yr old baby in the face?

that is gold, sirz.

Wait!?!? The Rock is hosting Raw on January 4th????

 

[Savage]

I gotta say, TNA has been getting increasingly awesome and deserves better ratings than Raw. Shame it's not gonna get it.
