TNA Wrestling are morons, Spike TV should go to hell for this. I don't have Destination America and Comcast wants $10 more!

I was just enjoying my afternoon of watching The Chew on ABC and worry about my 63 year old mother who is going have foot surgery to remove a needle point, which she step on and she needs to remove it tomorrow, when I am on my Facebook account and see Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Superstar Rockstar Spud's Facebook page sharing great news, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is going to Destination America and will continue to air their program, Impact Wrestling, in January 2015. See the article: http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/6216

I was wondering if I have the network. So, I went to the website and it says that I do with Comcast Xfinity at channel 113. So, as I went to check, I see I don't have it. Now this is not the first time the American cable provider don't have channels that I need with the package. In fact Comcast don't have El Rey Network, which they do provide Lucha Underground. In all of this bullcrap, if I want to watch wrestling, I would have to go to any of the independent wrestling promotions who house, Chris Hero, Tim Donst, Veda Scott, Gregory Iron, Jimmy Jacobs, Eddie Kingston, Chuck Taylor, and any other wrestler who I can think of. Now you all are asking me, Lindsie, why don't you watch WWE? Well, if you want to know, I think this blog entry I did on both Chris Hero and Tim Donst could explain it: http://misslindsie.blogspot.com/2013/11/chris-hero-tim-donst.html

But, I should really add, that the real reason behind of Chris's release is that they did not have anything for him.

But, why is this important to me about where TNA Wrestling ends up? Well, I have more fun, since Dixie Carter and her team brought in Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, and Jessica Havok, but, I won't see them on TV by the new year, due to no researching if every wrestling fan has Destination America. In fact Dixie should have her head in shame, because of this. You know who else should be ashame: The people who are in charge of Destination America, Spike TV, and Comcast. Why? Well, here is the breakdown:

Spike TV: They should resigned their deal with TNA Wrestling and put them back on Thursdays, when they have Bobby Lashley, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal who are not only part of TNA Wrestling, but, also Bellator, which Spike airs it.

Destination America/Discovery Communications: For picking up TNA Wrestling, without telling them that there viewers don't have their network. There are other channels that could take it because I am sure there are Impact fans have the channels, except for the NBC networks, since they are the ones that have TNA Wrestling's rival, WWE on their USA Network and Syfy Network, which it's owned by NBC Universal.

Comcast: Well, I  had to found out today by one of their analyst (I'm sure this is out of country, since a analyst name is Lady and there is no American goes by that name, unless it's a dog) that I have to pay $10 more to a bill over $100 that my mother is paying for cable, internet, and phone services. This is not what I need to make my mother more angry then what she has.

I could try to tell my mother about this, but, she thinks I watch WWE. I could not come to my senses that there is more then that, but, on top of that, I have not watching WWE program in over a year, because I will not forgive them for releasing Chris and I rather go see him in a building that house a few hundred then go to arena that house few thousand. Maybe I will tell her, when her situation is blew over. I am nearly scared that my mother has to go under the knife and I don't have someone to comfort me. But, when I need to forget something, I turn to watching wrestling.

WWE are morons to do something real stupid as an article while they hide their stupid mistakes

I was just going through my Gmail and I went to see the latest from WWNLive Alerts for their upcoming shows, when I saw something that makes me livid, WWE post on their website an article about Ring of Honor and got the stories from Tyler Black, who wrestles currently in the WWE as Seth Rollins, since 2011, Bryan Danielson, who wrestles currently in the WWE as Daniel Bryan, since 2009, Claudio Castagnoli, who wrestles currently in the WWE as Antonio Cesaro, since late 2011, Colt Cabana, who used to wrestle in the WWE in 2008 as Scotty Goldman and best friend of CM Punk and host of the podcast, The Art of Wrestling, and Gabe Saplosky, the man who founded Ring of Honor, now owns Dragon Gate USA and Evolve Wrestling. One thing that in the article broke me down in tears is what Claudio Castagnoli said. This is what he said:


I had a show with a friend, and they had one of those do-or-die tryouts in New Jersey. I died, but I did well. I was brought back and competed against Nigel McGuiness in my first real ROH match and against Alex Shelley in my second. Then I was just kind of wrestling in Ring of Honor mostly for the ROH Pure Title against Nigel. When Chris Hero came in during the [Combat Zone Wrestling]-ROH feud, I turned on ROH and joined CZW. It was the first run of The Kings of Wrestling.

Claudio mentions his friend and trainer, Chris Hero, who was in WWE for 21 months as Kassius Ohno. I was shock that Claudio did not say, Kassius Ohno, but Chris Hero, I was in deep, yet, I remember that WWE really make me upset for releasing Chris, yet, he's mention in the article. What's worse is the photos that WWE posted on their website, had Tyler Black's feud of former Ring of Honor star and current TNA Wrestling Superstar and 4 time X-Division Champion, Austin Aries and Claudio's feud and reunion with Chris. It really hurts me. Even though, this article is a stupid way, since their stupid mistakes like releasing Chris, bringing back Batista, having a shitty Royal Rumble that I did not watch, yet I saw everything on my twitter timeline, and being so mean to the fans who bring posters of former WWE superstars, like CM Punk. In fact, this article that happen is a way to hide their stupid mistakes and should be ashamed about it. If there is any fan who wants to know about Ring of Honor, Chikara, Combat Zone Wrestling, Dragon Gate USA, Evolve, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, westside Xtreme wrestling, Pro Wrestling Noah, heck even Absolute Intense Wrestling or any of the wrestling promotions that house Claudio Castagnoli, Tyler Black, Bryan Danielson, Colt Cabana, Chris Hero, CM Punk, Nigel McGuiness, Austin Aries, Jimmy Jacobs, and others that I could list on here, including Tim Donst who follows me on twitter, search online, ask them or even me. Because I had to know about this as much, since 2009 when I had to look up on Bryan Danielson and finding where the late Lance Cade was up to, before he pass away in August of 2010.


Believe me on this, WWE needs to be ashamed on what they are doing.

Grammys>Royal Rumble

So, last night I was watching the Grammys and I have to say that it was a very good show. Most of the night is when Macklemore & Ryan Lewis won 4 Grammy awards and had an okay performance if they did not had Maddona performing and Queen Latifah officiated a straight/gay wedding for 33 couples, despite, Los Angeles County deputize her to perform the ceremony, according to New York Times (Click here for the article). However, Daft Punk, an French Electronic music duo, took home 5 Grammy awards (Best Engineered Album Non-Classical, Best Dance/Electronica Album, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Album of the Year, and Record of the Year) had the best performance as they, along with Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, and Stevie Wonder perform a music montage of "Get Lucky" (Daft Punk with Pharrell Williams singing and Nile Rodgers playing guitar in the music video), "Le Freak" (Perform by Chic, but written by Nile Rodgers), "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" (Daft Punk), "Another Star" (Stevie Wonder), "Lose Yourself to Dance" (Daft Punk with Pharrell Williams), and "Around the World" (Daft Punk). Also another best performance was Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar with their songs, "Radioactive" (Imagine Dragons) & "m.A.A.d city" (Kendrick Lamar). I have to say it was very awesome, because it felt that I was there with legendary international independent pro wrestling superstar, "Knockout Artist" Chris Hero.

Speaking about wrestling, I saw on my timeline on twitter as I was tweeting about the Grammys, a lot of people watched WWE Pay-per-view, Royal Rumble, which the main event, the Royal Rumble, did not go well. Everyone was disappointed because Dave Batista, who haven't seen in three years, suddenly return and enters the Royal Rumble and wins it. I seen that everyone was not happy and feel like they got screwed. Mostly, Mick Foley went on tirade about Daniel Bryan not in it as he curse out the only wrestling company who induct him to their Hall of Fame. Even though, Mick had also mention about that WWE don't care for the fans. Well, Mick...

WELCOME ABOARD!

That is not the only thing WWE has done. If you all remember what happened back in November, WWE made a huge mistake of releasing Chris Hero, due to not having anything for him. See, it's just pathetic of what has been happen. However, if you are done watching WWE, but, still want wrestling, here are a few things to take:

1. Watch TNA Wrestling: I know everyone is so mad about what is going on with Dixie Carter going nuts, Magnus is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and Sting no longer wrestling. But, there are better things, like Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards who swore to reveal the investor who hire the guys, Austin Aries being TNA X-Division Champion for the fourth time, Madison Rayne, who had her first child, is our TNA Knockouts Champion, and many more.
2. ROHwrestling.com: Okay, this is very serious. If you want to see Chris Hero in action, I recommend you go to the Ring of Honor website and see if you have the TV show or you can sign up for a free membership to watch or if you wanted to see past episode on the website, you have to upgrade the membership by paying $7.99 per month, $19.99 every three months, or $59.99 per year.
3. Independent promotions: There are independent promotions that do wrestling and see if they do iPPVs or not, but they will tell you to go to their store to buy their DVDs or go to SmartMarkVideo.com. I purchase a digital copy of Absolute Intense Wrestling's Dead Presidents 2013 to watch Chris Hero vs. Tim Donst, but they have a great show.
4. Always go abroad: Not only there is wrestling here, but, there are shows in other countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. They host their native wrestlers and foreign wrestlers. If you don't believe me, you better learn German, buy tickets to get to Germany and to westside Xtreme wrestling's 16 Carat tournament in March to watch Chris Hero, Adam Cole, Trent Barreta, and others to try to win the tournament.  

That is all of what I'm saying.

There is no crying in WRESTLING!

Okay, this blog explains about something happened last year. As you are well know that I am blogging about well, many things and most of all, it have to do with independent wrestling, but, I have to tell something and maybe give an ideal for a certain wrestler to take on this one:

Austin Aries

What does Austin Aries have to do with last year and my title, "There is no crying in WRESTLING!"?

Easy. 

Last year, Austin Aries was booked to face against Bobby Roode at Destination X 2012 and what happened, sure enough made me cry. See, Austin was doing his promo in front of Chrissy Hemme and he said that he is dedicating the match to his mother. I was surprised that he said that, but, what happened really done it. Apparently, I was watching the match and I thought, Bobby Roode have this match, Austin Aries is going to lose! But, I felt that Aries got this match, and sure enough, he did. Using every maneuver he knows, Aries sure enough pinned Roode for the win after using the Brainbuster on Roode. When I saw it online, I cried about it. If I was there seeing it live, let's just say, something weird would happen. I don't know if that would be the reason why I would love wrestling, but, I should never cry over something as this!

Possible Thanksgiving plans, 5 Star Smash, Duke Mens Basketball game, Impact, and more.

So, this Thursday is Thanksgiving and I have possible plans. In my normal tradition as I was a young girl was that my mother would cook thanksgiving with my family, other times it would be at the nursing home with my great-grandmother on my father's side, but as we got older and my father left my brother and I, we end up having dinner at Charlie Brown's steakhouse with just the three of us, my mother, my brother, and me. One time we were joined by my mother's friend, Roberta. This year we maybe be joined by my brother's girlfriend, Miranda, who has some kind of sickness and her mother, who is battling brain cancer. I wish I had someone special to have for Thanksgiving, but, I don't mind the company of my brother's girlfriend.

So, if you seen in one of my blog entries about Tim Donst, then you want to read this next part. I seen through Tim's twitter account that he has a YouTube series coming soon called, 5 Star Smash, a variety talk show starting Tim, his high school pal Jimmy Viola, and Nikki Black, a young woman who is battling breast cancer at a very young age of 23. The show will be mainly surrounds pro wrestling as their guest for the first episode are Danny Havoc, who wrestles for Combat Zone Wrestling, and Jervis Cottonbelly, a mask wrestler who wrestles for Wrestling is Art and Wrestling is Fun. Tim tweeted from his twitter account to a response from a twitter user that the first episode will be up in a few weeks. I hope I will know by then, since I follow all three on twitter. You can follow them too. Tim's twitter handle is @TDonst, Jimmy's twitter handle is @JimmyValhalla, and Nikki's twitter handle is @NikkiBlackattack.

So, last night my friends Valentyna and Dominique watched Survivor Series and they saw their favorites and no offense to them, I did not see the PPV, since I am still a protesting not to tweet about WWE on twitter, due to the BS they done of Chris Hero and I still won't understand the real story behind Chris' release. I told my friend Karl that I am under protest not watching RAW or Smackdown due to the release of Chris, but Karl believes that Chris will return to WWE before Wrestlemania 30. I won't believe that until I meet Chris! However, what happened last night, I watched online a college mens basketball game as Duke University Blue Devils play against University of Vermont Catamounts. Not only did I see a very great game that Duke played, but, I was searching for someone. Yes, I was looking for Chris Hero, because Chris was at the game, supporting his favorite team, Duke, and I seen on his twitter account that he was at the game and wearing a Duke jersey with a black shirt underneath of the jersey, grey jeans, blue sneakers, and a grey jacket. Chris tweeted during the game last night where he was standing five rows behind Duke's head coach, Mike Krzyzewski or as the Duke fans would say, Coach K. I looked, but, I could not see Chris. I don't know who should I blame, but, I am not.

So, also this Thursday on Impact, we are going to see an eight man tag team match between Team Angle against Team Roode. I don't know who is going to be part of Kurt Angle's team nor Bobby Roode's team, but, I am pretty sure of an idea of who will be on both teams. For Team Roode, I am positive that Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kaz) and Chris Sabin will be joining Bobby and for Team Angle, it will be Gunner, Storm, and either Austin Aries or TJ Perkins (aka MANIK) would be joining Kurt. I heard about some spoilers that we might see a new TNA X-Division Champion in Austin Aries for his third reign, so it's possible that A Double will join Team Angle, since Sabin could be on Team Roode and Sabin would have the X-Division title on the Thanksgiving episode.

I want to touch on a subject about cancer and it's not just because I been followed by Nikki Black, but, it's a horrible illness. I know, WWE Diva Layla lost her mother to breast cancer, WWE Superstar Titus O'Neal lost his grandmother to breast cancer, TNA Wrestling Founder Jeff Jarrett lost his wife to breast cancer, WWE Superstar John Cena's brother battled against brain cancer and yes, I mention it earlier, my brother's girlfriend's mother is battling brain cancer. Each of them had support by family and friends. I also understand about getting treatment, is because my brother had battled against Leukemia for five years. Yes, Leukemia is a cancer that effects the blood or bone marrow. Thankfully it was blood and it really effected out of my brother, but it also affected my family, since my brother was in hospitals two to three months every time for five years. I tried to have a normal childhood, but it became a visit to the hospital after school until late at night. Yes, my brother was diagnose in November of 1993 at the age of 7 until 1998 at the age of 12 when he finally finished treatment and being remission since. While my brother was in the hospital he was visited by soon to be WWE Hall of Famer, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase while DiBiase was in WWE. So, with that being said, Nikki Black has being fighting breast cancer and being a stand up comedian like Tim Donst's high school pal, Jimmy Viola is so brave and so courageous. I hope when the first episode of 5 Star Smash, I hope to see Nikki and the boys, Jimmy and Tim. I forgot that Nikki has a tumblr site called, "I Don't Know Anything About Breast Cancer", which she tells of her journey of fighting breast cancer and shows that it's scary, but she embraces it. Here is the link: http://idkbreastcancer.tumblr.com

One more thing, I am tweeting off what I am thankful for for four days. I am tweeting two things per day until Thanksgiving. So far, I am thankful for Dominique, Naomi, and Valentyna for sticking around for me for the past two years and I am thankful for Tim Donst who really being nice to me after we follow each other since then. Who else will I be thankful for? Stay tune!

The passion and perks of being a wrestling fan/My crazy rant of what happened this past weekend.

If you already following me on twitter, @MsLindsieStarr, you notice since Saturday, I change my bio to suit my anger of what happened between Friday Night after the TV show, Haven to Saturday where I got so upset and felt making an ass myself:

Yes, I put that there. No offense to my friends, Valentyna, Dominique, and Naomi, who have their favorites still on the WWE roster, but, I'm hurt. I was in shock to say that WWE has made a huge mistake on it. Why? Well, for one thing is why they released Chris Spradlin and give such high praises for his pal and trainee, Claudio Castagnoli is that the difference is that Claudio has been in shape, since the two were a tag team in the independent scene years ago. A lot of dirt sheet websites accuse of Chris to be lazy and to be honest, those dirt sheets are lying, because they only report about WWE and TNA Wrestling, and not once look at the independent scene. But, I have friends who does go to the independent shows and I do follow a lot of independent wrestlers, like Kevin Steen, Jimmy Jacobs, Roderick Strong, Rhett Titus, and Tim Donst, who by the way followed me before, I decide to follow him, back in August this year. Now, I learned a whole lot about Chris during his time in WWE's developmental territory, NXT, which started from a video of a promo from Ring of Honor in 2006, when Austin Aries and Roderick Strong were mad, but calm as they are, speak out about their lost of their tag team match against the Kings of Wrestling, which Aries and Strong had the ROH World Tag Team titles on the line. As you can see, my reaction was first that I felt sorry for Austin Aries, because in his promo, Aries said that he got his ribs bruised by a briefcase that the tag team used on him (later on, I find out it was Claudio who had the briefcase and used it on Aries during the tag team match by a video someone posted on YouTube) and he cough up blood. Even though it was seven years ago, I felt bad. So, I had no other choice, but to dig to see who Austin Aries was talking about. So, I search on the Ring of Honor YouTube channel and found out who they are. I learn that the bald man was Claudio Castagnoli, and the one who could be identical to Triple H, Edge, or even the late Lance Cade, Chris Hero. Now the video I saw was either two or three years ago, but, what made me started to like him?

Well, to start, he has great promo skills and yes, I would say that his voice was like heaven to me, since I am a female. I had to dig in more to see if there any matches of him and sure enough, I find Chris' YouTube channel and watch the matches and maneuvers video clips and I was in awe. Because of that, I was defiantly really liking him so much. Ever since then, I was looking into videos on YouTube of Chris' matches and promos from either Ring of Honor, IWA Mid-South,  Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (Just previews or clips), Combat Zone Wrestling, and Chikara, while I was waiting to get to see the next episode of WWE NXT to see if Chris is on. I seen from that matches and promos during his days in the independent scene against Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Bryan Danielson, Kevin Steen, CM Punk, Rhett Titus, Kenny King, Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, Eddie Kingston, and yes, even promos on Claudio during their feud against each other and I seen a preview between the two men battling each other at a PWG show for the PWG World Title that Claudio was champion. As, I see that applied on WWE NXT, I was amazed about it. I notice that in Chris' promos, Chris would be wearing either his ring gear or wear t-shirts and jeans, however, one day as I was getting ready to celebrate my brother's 26th birthday last year (we went out to dinner, since we could not celebrated on that Tuesday), I get on to my iPhone and watch the October 2nd episode of WWE NXT, which in a minute in the episode, I see something very interesting when I see someone coming in and was approach by Dolph Ziggler's brother, Briley Pierce for an interview. I instantly figure out it was Chris, but to my surprise, damn, he look that very good. Chris was out of his element, but, I am surprised that seeing him wearing something different made me smile a whole lot. Chris has been in feuds during his time in NXT, especially against William Regal, which I felt nostalgic coming from those two, because I see that they use every single maneuver that they learn and despite Regal had to dislocated Chris' fingers during the match (Which Chris had to pop it back in), they brought me into appreciate Chris even more, after Regal beat him.

I spoken to my friend Valentyna about Chris if he ever joins the main roster, we both agree that it would be interesting to see him with Wade Barrett, since both of them have skills and performed in England and the United Kingdom and been trained by great European wrestlers (Barrett was trained by Robbie Brookside and Hero trained by William Regal, Dave Finlay, and Dave Taylor), it could work. Plus, they both look great in red wrestling tights. But, sadly, I won't have the chance to see that.

Now, I know you are wondering, Lindsie your blog title is called, The passion and perks of being a wrestling fan, where are the passion and perks? You are ranting about Chris Hero, but nothing else!

True, but, there is more to this. Now, I don't want you to go on twitter, find the first wrestler you find and say, "Hey! Please follow me!", because that is a huge no-no, because wrestlers don't like it. But, however, I do recommend to follow them, but, go and meet them, more then once, and then ask them if it's alright for them to follow you. If they say it's okay, do it right now in front of them, so they can know. Also, it's best to try to go to an meet and greet more then once. Also, don't send out a surprised tweet that you are being followed by them, that could start a bad way to interact with them. Also, be very nice to them. If you follow them and being a real pain in their side, you might be blocked by them. Don't say anything stupid to them either. That's grounds to be block by them. However, say something nice and they will respond back.

To be honest, I read by wrestlers, since I follow them on twitter, that fans really say stupid things and end up being block by the wrestler. Sometimes, there are fans who say stupid things like they want to marry them, but, it made the wrestler feel awkward. I should know, I seen it from Chris Hero on twitter. However, sometimes wrestlers act real strange, but, it's up to you to see what they are about. Believe me, like I said earlier, back on August of this year, I was followed by Tim Donst, and I was surprised that I find out that he is a wrestler and what is strange is his bio. This is what it says:

The instances I read the bio that says, "Former Young Lions Cup holder" it hit me. I figure out that Tim has been in Chikara and I end up looking in and soon enough, as I learned much of Tim, I take the chance to follow him. I really got scared to tweet to Tim, but, I end up doing it so and well, look at the first time I tweet to him:

You can tell, I was shy. However, you can see other tweets that I had with him:

You can see here, I tweeted about seeing Ethan Carter vs. Tim Donst on TNA Impact Wrestling and Tim retweeted it...

Also: 

I felt that talking to Tim and help him to promote his website is a huge thanks for him to follow me and me following him. Otherwise, what do you think? 

That's how to be passion and the perks of being a wrestling fan.

Now, on to other matters. I do want to apologize to anyone to know how I was feeling during the weekend. It's not what I do expect to give a guy the chance to make it big. I feel that there are a lot of corruption could behind it. However, we won't know. A lot of people are suggesting that Chris Hero would be in TNA Wrestling or Ring of Honor, but, I say that won't happen until Spring of 2014, due to the WWE 90 days no TV competing claws, and since WWE had to air the three NXT episodes that has Chris has been in against Tyler Breeze and Alexander Rusev. Until then, it would give Chris a chance to rest, celebrate his 34th birthday, and hopefully to compete in the independent scene again. I would like to see Chris in a match against Tim Donst, since those two never faced against each other and this would a second student vs. teacher for Tim, since a few years ago or so, Tim fought against Mike Quackenbush, who also worked with Chris to trained Tim. It would be interesting and have fans to see two greatest wrestlers to go at it. 

Now, I read a blog by Andrew Riche, titled A Hero's Exit, on Place to Be Nation website, which he explains the whole career of Chris Hero and he believes that what WWE has done is a good thing and hope he would get a second chance as he compare it to Chris' rival, Austin Aries. However, there is a huge difference between Aries first and second run with TNA Wrestling to Chris' first and maybe only run with WWE, is that there was miscommunication between TNA Wrestling and Aries, which wound him back in Ring of Honor, but, when Aries return to TNA Wrestling happened after Aries had more feuds and winning the Ring of Honor World title again for the second time. I don't know if that is true, but, it was in the time of Aries' life that he needed something to do, since he was considering to retire from wrestling and pursue other things like acting (If you seen the Keri Russell Cover Girl commercial from 2006 and if you play WWE '12 Road to Wrestlemania Hero Story of Jacob Cass, you know what I mean by). Somehow he got the call to come back. Now, look at Aries, he's facing against Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Bobby Roode, James Storm, Bully Ray, and Chris Sabin while he is maintaining a regiment that he set himself years ago by eating healthy foods and training. Heck, Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode at Destination X last year for the TNA World Heavyweight title was the best match ever in 2012 and yes, it made me cry, because not only did Austin Aries beat Bobby Roode for the title, but, Aries dedicating the match to his mother is the sweetest thing he ever done. To be honest, I never see that in my life. 

For once, I'm hoping to get the chance to see Chris Hero. Maybe even Tim Donst.

Photographers vs. Fan photos/True wrestling paintings vs. fan wrestling painting

I am here on a MAJOR topic. I have been a very angry mood, due to photos of WWE NXT shows that has been taking by fans, which shows me that they only care for their favorite NXT Superstar and/or Diva. It's really sad that they can't take photos of the whole show. With that said, they take photos and they post it on twitter. However there are photographers. One in specifically, Joe Hrycych, has been taken photo of WWE NXT shows and he does not take his favorites, but, the whole entire show. He is not just doing it for himself, but for everyone who wants to see. I really respect Joe for what he has done. It really makes me smile a whole lot just to know how Chris Hero (Kassius Ohno to the WWE Universe) is doing. I know that wrestling news websites are waiting for photos on twitter, but, I had to share the photos from last week's NXT show to my friend Karl and explain to him that Joe is excellent on what he can do.

Now, there is fans who are in painting or drawing of their favorite WWE Superstar and/or Diva and it just makes me feel iffy on some. One fan, who I block on twitter, but, I won't mention their name, has done a minimal of art on subject of their favorite WWE Superstars, Antonio Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli), Seth Rollins (Tyler Black), Dean Ambrose (John Moxley), and Roman Reigns. I seen it and I feel it's not good, because I don't see how it good to in compare to Rob Schamberger, extraordinary wrestling artist, who done paintings of not just WWE Superstars and Divas, but, NXT Superstars and Divas, Pro Wrestling legends, TNA Wrestling Superstars and Knockouts, and independent wrestlers. His painting start at $100 and prints start at $25 on his store. Some of Rob's work of wrestlers that I really like are the following:

Austin Aries

Beth Phoenix

Chris Hero (Kassius Ohno)

Mitsuharu Misawa

Tyler Black (Seth Rollins)

All of these work by Rob Schamberger is on his website: http://robschamberger.com/

Now there is another artist, current TNA Superstar Sam Shaw, has been doing wicked drawings. If you follow him on twitter (@RealSamShaw), he post a photo with his e-mail. I don't know how much he is asking for, but, if you do, please tell me. His works so far are some WWE Superstars and some TNA Superstars. I am going to be a sly devil and admit that I would like to see if Sam would draw Austin Aries and Chris Hero from PWG show Ninety-nine, where Chris defended the PWG World title against Austin Aries back in April 2009, just a few months before Austin Aries beat Jerry Lynn for the ROH World Championship.

Bottom line, I have respect for people who can do more than their favorites.

Kassius Ohno, Austin Aries, Lita

Kassius Ohno

I was told by my friend on twitter, Karl, that Kassius Ohno had some kind of injury during the last tapings of NXT, but, I haven't heard much on it, due to the fact that I haven't read it in. However, since Thursday Night (July 18th), Kassius was seen at the live NXT shows. About more then a week ago, Kassius was seen at the WWE Performance Center Press Conference with Adrian Neville and a recent signee, Independent wrestling star, Sami Callihan (I seen some photos that he was in Dragon Gate USA with Jimmy Jacobs and Austin Aries and he was on an episode of a YouTube show hosted by Rhett Titus). In my last entry titled, "Is there a possibility for a fourth member of the Shield?" I stated that Kassius Ohno could be there as the newest member, but I quickly got so much confused about it, since he tweeted to someone, which shows signs that he was still in Florida and not Philadelphia. However, I still got a vibe about it and I don't know what the creative plans for him. It's possible that if he was suppose to debut on the main roster, it could be between after Summerslam, but before Survivor Series. If there is a plan for Kassius capturing NXT gold, I say make it at the next tapings in August. I think he can be NXT Champion, since the creative threw us a curve ball and crap of a chance for Kassius Ohno to be NXT Tag Team Champion with Corey Graves, instead we get Adrian Neville. But, creative could give us Leo Kruger and Kassius Ohno for a NXT Tag Team Title run.

Don't get any ideals about Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno being NXT Tag Team Champs. WWE might open a can of worms and offend Sara Del Ray and Shane Hagadorn. 

I think with a recent photo from the July 18th NXT show, Kassius is showing signs that he is still the same healthy weight, but I may need to see more photos of him.

Austin Aries

I wanted to add from my last entry, "Just to clarified..." Austin Aries sans the mustache, is not the second time he did it. This is actually the third time he did it, since the first time he did in Ring of Honor in 2008. Aries was going though a sort of Gothic phase to a rock star phase, where Aries had the long hair and it was sometime around spring or summer of 2008 during his feud against Jimmy Jacobs, he shaved the mustache off. I would admit that him with long hair and the mustache shaved off, it brings out sort of a sex appeal, but that was 2008. But, what I said in my last entry is true, but, I wanted to add upon what you saw on Impact is that this is the third time Aries shaved off his mustache.

Lita

There is news surrounding WWE Legend, Lita, saying that her fans worry about her on Facebook. A hardcore punk band, 7 Seconds, post on their Facebook, that something "shitty and difficult" she is going through. I am not sure if it's her or something or someone in her personal life, but I will check in about it with my sources. I have respect her when she dominated the Divas division and having the best feuds with certain divas and superstars, namelessly, Trish Stratus, John Cena, and capturing the women's championship four times. I came across a video of a tag team match Lita had outside of WWE sometime around 2007, with Jerry Lynn against TNA Wrestling Knockout Chrissy Hemme and TNA Wrestling Superstar Austin Aries (At that time, A Double was known as Austin Starr). Lita and Jerry Lynn beat the two, before Lynn would face against Aries around two years later in New York City for the Ring of Honor World Championship that Lynn had before losing it to Aries. I am not sure what is going on with Lita, but, I hope we know by then.

Just to clarified...

Last month, I made a blog entry about CM Punk at Payback:

When I saw CM Punk returning at Payback, he was going for the Wolverine (Marvel's X-Men) look, but, I feel he was more looking like Austin Aries per say 2011. I know what everyone thinks, but, it's what I am thinking of. It's just freaking me out, but we will see how Punk will be of the rest of this year.

Well Austin Aries have done something recently (Source: Austin Aries twitter profile):

Oh, he also tweeted this to those who think Aries steal Punk's style:

I hate to be right. I am such on a roll...okay, I will explain that I had to figure out that a while back, Suicide beat Chris Sabin for the X-Division title, however Hogan wants to know, because the one who was suppose to play Suicide, T.J. Perkins, got jumped. After reading a tweet, I tweeted that I smell a vegetarian rat...or is he vegan. I guess that it was Aries and I was right. 

To be honest, I did not read any spoilers or I DM Austin Aries. 

Okay, that second one is suppose to be funny.
