Triple H playing risky game

Most people would not respect anyone who spat in their face. But not Triple H. And if you watched The Game closely two weeks ago during his encounter with Carlito, he smiled as phlegm and Red Delicious apple chunks ran down his eyes and cheeks. He liked the fact that Carlito had the guts to spit in the face of someone he didn’t think was cool, even if that someone was the 10-time world champion and King of Kings...More?

Konnan's fund raising drive is appalling

...Konnan is a pro wrestler who was in need of a kidney transplant. I read months ago about a donation drive to pay for Konnan’s medical expenses regarding the kidney transplant. At the time I was infuriated by the whole idea of the donation drive and would get into arguments with mutual friends of Konnan’s about it. Hey, this has nothing to do with being a nice guy but for a guy who claims to keep it real let’s get real for a second here about Konnan.

I think the idea of raising money for a man who blew millions of dollars throughout his career to replace a kidney as a result of years of drug abuse is appalling...More?

UFC Sets Record

This past weekend, 4.7 million viewers tuned in to Spike TV to watch UFC 75: CHAMPION vs. CHAMPION. The event featured the first UFC title match ever on Spike and saw Quinton "Rampage" Jackson retain the UFC Light Heavyweight championship against Dan "Hollywood" Henderson. The UFC 75 telecast emanating from the O2 Arena in London, England peaked at 5.6 million viewers. The fight card drew more Men 18-34 and Men 18-49 than anything else on television, broadcast or cable on September 8, including heavy sports competition from college football on ABC and ESPN, NASCAR on ABC, and the U.S. Open Women’s Final on CBS. “The ratings are further proof that the tide in American sports is changing,” said Kevin Kay, General Manager, Spike TV. “Young men, who constitute the Spike TV core audience, prefer the incredible action and athleticism of the UFC to more traditional sports.”

Stop the Witch Hunt Against the WWE

Since the Chris Benoit murder/suicide the sports entertainment industry has been under scrutiny, especially the WWE. While steroids and performance enhancing drugs need to be eradicated, one company should not be singled out and portrayed as the "evil empire". Show your support for the WWE and sign the petition to stop the witch hunt!

Kaliqo's Commentary

As of 6:45pm this evening, Triple H is leading the voting (23.58%) of the fan guesses as to who is Mr. McMahon's illegitimate son.

My guess is that it will be revealed that Triple H is his son and then when Ken Kennedy returns from his suspension, they can reveal that there was an error with Hunter's DNA test and Mr. Kennedy is really his son.

Another possibility is to have Shawn Michaels revealed as the ba*tard son. His name isn't even listed as one of the choices so that angle would be quite a surprise.
