J.R.'s Superstar of the Week - Triple H
From J.R.'s blog:
This week’s Raw Superstar of the Week is a man who had to win Monday night in Hampton, Va., to qualify for the Royal Rumble Match. Triple H is this week’s recipient of lovely gifts from www.jrsbarbq.com, including the “I’ve Got Big Nuts” T-shirt that promotes one of our newest items, our large, Oklahoma-grown peanuts. The Game is back in the game, no pun intended, and his presence will certainly get his 29 other adversaries’ attention come Sunday on pay-per-view.

Tito Ortiz Comments on Last UFC Fight
From an interview with FightNetwork.com:
"I was expecting a bigger fight. I think the fans were expecting a bigger fight. I got pressed into it, and all of a sudden, it’s all over the Internet that Tito Ortiz won’t fight Machida. I’m just looking to get my final fight over with the UFC. They said I wasn’t worth the money. I was worth no more than what I’m getting paid now, and I’m not a commodity to them anymore. I’m not as viable to them anymore. That was a sign of disrespect. With [UFC President Dana White] in charge, I don’t think that fight will ever happen for me,” said Ortiz.
“Dana has bad blood for me and nothing but bad blood. UFC is caring so much about the brand itself. They could care less about the fighters. Fighters are a dime a dozen. They’ll keep coming. Dana is really out for himself and the company. He doesn’t give a sh*t about the fighters. They’re going to try and ruin me."

The “grind.”
For professional wrestlers, there is no offseason. They don’t get vacation — unless they get hurt. Pay-per-views, live television programs, house shows on the weekend, autograph signings, special appearances, photo shoots, gym workouts, physical therapy sessions, etc. Whatever leftover time is dedicated to your real life.
If you even have one....More?
