The Squared Circle

[AndThePickles]

Batista's new book was released last week. It's been described as "controversial", but who knew Batista would reveal himself to be such a despicable human being.

Here's a quote from the book that is nothing short of shocking:

<< Now, don't get me wrong, my ex-wife is the love of my life and I would never knowingly hurt her. However, while I was busting my butt on the road like a dog, she would sit around the house and do nothing. I mean, yeah, she had cancer, but she couldn't vacuum? And since the chemo made her "not in the mood", I had no choice but to have threesomes on the road. I mean, she's talented and I hated to see her waste her life like that when she could be a dancer, or maybe a nurse. But she's not a bad person and I take full responsibility for my actions, even though it was her fault. >>

Later in the book, Batista said that his wife suspected him of cheating. Batista claims he wasn't cheating on her yet, but started a "physical relationship" with WWE Diva Melina shortly after.

Woooow

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Someone get Spoons in here to explain Batista's actions.

Je ne parle pas L'anglais!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

You sound jealous and bitter. We're all guys here...if Melina was willing and wanted another girl in the mix.....I dare any of you to refuse that....

I accept your dare with every fiber of my being

 

[BlackLantern]

I accept your dare with every fiber of my being

I bet Spoons, If Pickles came home with Melina you would be all up in her goodies. Like I posted before, if he wants to be a scumbag so be it, but there are consequences to every choice. by virtue of that quote his wife could drag his ass to court for defemation of character......

 

[Warhammer]

Damn, Batista. Those comments were really low.
DL is probably right with it being some WWE writer writing it, and the quotes being there for shock value. Perhaps, if DL was right, Batista is ready for a heel turn?

I thought we were assuming none of the ****s was my g/f and she was sick at home w/ cancer.

If Pickles brought Melina home for some "fun", me accepting wouldn't be *****ebaggy at all.

Batista and Edge can team up and be "The Homewreckers". Make it happen, Vince!

 

[BlackLantern]

no Spoons it wouldnt be *****ebaggy......like I mentioned previous, if this gets bought up on air then I would think that is going too far....

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Right, I just didn't realize your dare involved our g/f's/wives as one of the sex participants. That changes the scenario.

whoa i read this book and aside form the paraphrasing i dont remember that line that everyons fussing about used in that context . so basically we are taking two lines in a paragraph and cutting everything in between. he also stated hes not proud of any of it and that she is the love of his life and wants her back.

so are you saying the Internet is lying???...how can that be???

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Wouldn't surprise me either. I need to read it

 

[Hunter Rider]

Did he cheat on his wife, then blame her and then tell all in his book ?

 

[Max J Power]

True. For all we know, the passage could be preceded by "I never said anything along the lines of..."

he basically admits it was wrong but fell into temptation.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Hahaha

what really suprised me about the book was the mention of his daughters.

From PWI

~Kristal Marshal's release. Due to the nature of the Teddy Long storyline, where Marshal had left TV to be with Teddy, neither her nor WWE have acknowledged her release. The original plan for the angle with Teddy Long was that it would be revealed that Edge had put Kristal up to seducing Long to get him out of the picture on Smackdown, as revenge for Long stripping Edge of the World Heavyweight Championship when Edge was injured. Edge and Marshal would then become a retread of Edge and Lita from Raw, with Marshal becoming a much more sexual character. Marshal was very against the idea for a number of reasons, mainly the sexuality of it. She is currently dating Raw superstar Bobby Lashley, and the two of them had both been pushing for Kristal to be moved to Raw so they could be together. WWE was no in favor of this, and decided that if she wasn't going to "play ball" with them on the Edge storyline, then there were plenty of divas who would and she was then released. No word on how Lashley is reacting to this release.

I can't believe my favorite diva from the WWE, hell, the world, has been released. I'm deeply saddened by it. Think about it guys. Doesn't Kristal come off as a pretty sexual girl? Why would she object to being in a storyline with one of the biggest heels in the company? Afterall, it's all an act, and how bad can NETWORK tv PG get? The only reason that she said no that comes to mind is that Bobby Lashley greatly influenced her decision. And for that, I'm very angry. He couldn't get over himself so Kristal could get more success. His selfish decision has cost her her job. No doubt she went along with his plans because of his supposed status as a big face. Is Bobby ******ed? Faces don't have girls. What use would Kristal bring him by having her in a storyline with him?

According to WWE.com, Candice Michelle suffered a cracked clavicle in her fall from the top rope last night on Raw. As of now, Candice is expected to be out for 6-8 weeks.

To me it looked like she was supposed to fall and straddle the rope and just didnt get herself set in time.....at least when she fell, she did the smart thing and went limp.....the worst thing you can do when falling is stick your hands out and try to stop yourself, you risk more injury that way.....I hope there are no long lasting effects and that she comes back OK

Who would have thought, when seeing Candice with her stupid go daddy gimmick, she would become so talented in the ring in so short a time? When she was having a little real life feud with Melina, and I read one of her interviews, I laughed when she said she had passion for wrestling and wanted to learn, I didn't believe her for 2 sec. Now, I can't help but like her and be impressed when I see her in the ring. She's worked so hard, and it shows. It's really amazing. Imagine what the roster would look like if just a quarter of the other divas became as dedicated and trained as hard as Candice. Imagine Layla, or Kristal, or Brooke wrestling and actually looking like they know what they're doing in the ring. I hope Candice heals fast and I can't wait to see her back in the ring.

Krystal served no purpose in the WWE untilll this Teddy Long storyline.....she willl NOT be missed...

I'm surprised she lasted that long. I mean if you i don't wrestle or manage get the hell out.

Vince is a idiot though for hiring almost all the diva search losers. I mean the whole contest loses its point. But it lost that a long time ago.

 

[NDX]

how is it tasteless when its mostly true...? I don't think the automatic door step at Wal-Mart opens the door if you are under 275 lbs.

The comment's bull**** and you are just being a ********. You sound exactly like all the people who call wrestling fans inbred hicks and ******s because we watch "men grope each other in underwear!" Enough already. The stereotyping is not funny, it's insulting and makes you look like a petty fool.

Smackdown spoilers.

Spoiler

Dark Match: Chuck Pulumbo def. Kenny Dykstra-both got good heat, pretty solid match.

SMACKDOWN
MVP Lounge with Hardy/Finlay/Rey-hyped the tag match

Kane def Mark Henry-I thought Kane was going to do the job, glad he won.

MVP/Hardy def. Finlay/Rey-good match. Finlay turns on rey so that MVP/Hardy can pick up the win. Matt does a impressive blade job

Divas Segment

*Just a note JBL was getting massive heat all night. during commercial breaks we would chant JBL SUCKS*

Jamie Noble hits on Vicky, she puts him in a match with....

Batista def. Noble in about a minute

Jesse/Festus def. Nobodies in a short match

Big Daddy V def. Miz and Morrison in a triple threat.

JBL does a great promo before he interviews Undertaker. This guy has still got it. Undertaker comes out. JBL gets chokeslamed. Batista comes out, talks crap to Undertaker and then spears him(or was it a spinebuster?) as Batista is leaving, Undertaker gets up.

Dark match main event: Batista/Rey def. Khali/Finlay

Not a bad show, but nothing impressive. Looking forward to MVP/Hardy vs Rey/Finlay match.

Good read, and good points. TNA should take notes, because these are mistakes they keep making. (Surprised this came from Lance Storm of all people.)

I'm not sure about the one The Rock was with but the one Cena was with was officially affiliated with WWE, Rock's probably was as well as like Orton he was groomed for stardom from the start due to his 3rd generation status.

Cena came up with UPW in California, which is not an official training ground with WWE (last I checked), but WWE has taken a lot of their talent from them. They scout their shows regularly, and several stars have been found from there.

There was a major breakdown in a tag match featuring the Undertaker & Kane vs. Finlay & Chris Masters during WWE&#8217;s European tour last week. It started when Undertaker was working on the arm of Chris Masters. Masters tagged out and just stood on the apron without selling the &#8220;injury&#8221;. On the other side of the ring Undertaker gestured to Masters to get him to sell his &#8220;injured&#8221; arm. Masters continued to just stand there, causing the Undertaker to yell at him across the ring. Masters sold it for a bit and apparently forgot again.

When they tagged back in to face one another, Undertaker worked him stiff, blooding and perhaps breaking his nose. Masters was having trouble breathing and finally rolled out of the ring like he had suffered a legitimate arm injury. They ended up taking him to the back with Finlay finishing the match as a handicap match.

As it turns out, Masters dislocated his elbow at some point during the match. This was the last time Masters wrestled on the tour.

Steve Austin is in the latest WWE.com &#8220;Superstar to Superstar&#8221; feature with actor David Arquette. Throughout most of the feature they talk about films, but there are some wrestling related topics. Below are the highlights:

On becoming WCW World Champion, Arquette says, "You know, it all happened because I was doing this movie Ready to Rumble and they were using all of the WCW stars at the time. I got to know a couple of the people who promote the show, and they threw me in the ring and people hated me enough that they wanted me to come back. Then, in a strange twist and turn, I got the belt &#8212; which pissed a lot of people off. I don&#8217;t blame them. It was a good time, I&#8217;m proud to be in the record books. I just hope I didn&#8217;t take down the whole company."

Austin's response to Arquette: "I don&#8217;t think it was you who took them down; I think it was ultimately their fate. When you became the WCW champion, how was the backstage politics? When you&#8217;ve got guys, and that&#8217;s what they do for a living, and all of a sudden, you, David Arquette, a very successful actor comes in &#8212; who has probably never stepped foot inside of a wrestling ring &#8212; were there any feelings of animosity toward you? What was it like?"

Arquette's response: Yeah. There were some bitter and very angry people. I mean, just traveling with wrestlers &#8212; that was the most amazing part of the show. Things like getting drunk with Ric Flair, just being a part of this crazy world, just seeing how amazing and talented wrestlers are. Your bodies suffer, and you guys are running non-stop city to city &#8212; it&#8217;s like a carnival. It&#8217;s crazy. So, I gained a lot of respect for wrestling."

A question from Austin, including a comment that will annoy TNA fans: "Knowing wrestling like you do, being in WCW for a little bit and now seeing the business today with really only WWE around &#8212; you&#8217;ve got some stuff in TNA but no major stars &#8212; who is your favorite guy going right now? If you had to pick one guy you had to have come back into the wrestling business and work with, who would it be?"

Arquette's response: "Gregory Helms did all of my stunts in Ready to Rumble. I&#8217;m a big fan of his. I know he&#8217;s out now. I like the whole Triple H and Mr. McMahon thing that&#8217;s been going on, the family dynamics is always good entertainment. I like The Great Khali &#8212; I always like to see a giant. That&#8217;s a good type of thing. You know, Ric Flair is also one of my favorites of all-time. Whenever he does anything, I just love it."

Austin's response: I think he&#8217;s probably the greatest world champion that ever lived. I have so much respect for that guy

What is with you lately Internet Journalist NDX? You have become terribly sensitive lately and I fear if we don't remove that sand from your hoo-ha you just may explode. So if something on an internet message board is spinning you up that much, maybe you should take a break or something.....
