John Cena says Chyna might have a "fruit basket"

TMZ.com has a clip of John Cena at an airport recently and he was asked who would win a fight between Vince McMahon and Joanie "Chyna" Laurer. "Well, it's always said that you could stop a man cold if you kick a man in the fruit basket," Cena said.

"I don't know, I think Chyna might have a fruit basket." Cena added that he was joking and went onto plug his movie. Click here for the video.

Chyna might be a lot of things, but a man isn't one of them.

WWE Male Ratings Champ

World Wrestling Entertainment®’s television programming is number one among males on all of broadcast television on Friday nights; number one among males on all of cable television on Monday Nights; and number one among male viewers on Sci-Fi.

Friday Night SmackDown® on MyNetworkTV (8:00 PM ET/PT) is the number one program Friday nights on broadcast television among males under the age 50, especially the key M12-17 and M18-34 demos

For advertisers looking to reach the male demographic, WWE’s male dominance is the reason why it is considered the best value in entertainment...More?

Lance Storm Critical of iMPACT! and Raw

I don’t think I’ve ever been more flabbergasted with what I’ve seen on television, as I have been this week. I watched both RAW and TNA this week and left both shows completely shaking my head. If I were to shake my head any harder I’d probably end up with a worse neck than Kurt Angle.

While Impact was by far the worst of the two shows (it may have been the worst wrestling program ever) RAW was, perhaps more importantly, far more counter productive. Raw had a ton of momentum going into this weeks show. The heavy angle last week with Vince and Randy Orton was AWESOME. Randy was fantastic in every regard last week (as he has been since his return) and he was really coming off as the true Star in WWE. Kicking Vince in the head last week was an “Oh My God” moment like no other. It looked great, put a ton of heat on Orton, and left everyone thinking, what next. They then followed up with Orton winning the Royal Rumble and making Randy the most important player in the company.

Then… then… then the show fell off a cliff, crashed and burned, and died a painful miserable death. Shane McMahon came to the ring and beat the living shit out of all three members of Legacy. Yes Shane McMahon, the non-wrestling character, office working son of the boss, single handedly destroyed the newly created hottest heel in the company in a one on three situation.

You could have dropped this angle in liquid nitrogen and it wouldn’t have lost heat this fast...More?

J.R. Comments on Matt Hardy's Promo

"I thought Matt Hardy's promo on Friday Night Smackdown was the best verbal presentation that I can recall Hardy doing. The key to coming off a hot situation as Matt is after costing his brother Jeff the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble is follow through. Friday night was a solid follow up to Sunday and it will be interesting to see how Matt and his issues are addressed between now and WM25. Smackdown is in dire need of viable, hot antagonists and hopefully the older Hardy can help fill that void."

Phelps admits 'regrettable' behavior after picture shows him smoking pot

In a statement released to The Associated Press, the swimmer who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games conceded the authenticity of the exclusive picture published Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.

Phelps said: "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps caught smoking bong

WWE Divas: The Good and the Useless

Many Divas have passed through the WWE in years. From legends like Fabulous Moolah to future Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. We've seen Sable, Lita, and the more prominent Chyna. These women were great performers in the wrestling ring and you could tell they worked hard. Recently, though, we've seen the slow decline of the Divas unit.

Well, we can't blame WWE. Who actually said, "I can't wait for the women's championship match at Wrestlemania"! I can't recall saying that and I'm sure many can agree.

Nevertheless, even though we never talked about those great women wrestlers that much we appreciated them. Mickie James is pretty good and so was Molly Holly. Trish Stratus had fantastic matches with Lita, Molly Holly, and Mickie James. So we fast forward into present and what do we have? A joke...More?

Mark Henry and Vladimir Koslov Make Two of the Best Look Bad

Match reviews from iFight365.com:

...The Undertaker beats Mark Henry to qualify for the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out in a terribly slow and plodding match, winning with the Devils Triangle. Taker tried, but Henry is just so lumbering and immobile that it’s really tough even for Taker to get a good match out of him...

...The final Elimination Chamber qualifier was an early contender for Worst Match Of The Year, as Triple H won a triple threat match over Vladimir Kozlov and The Great Khali. Just like their interaction in the Royal Rumble, when Kozlov and Khali were going at it was the kind of action that makes you cringe. Just embarrassingly slow clunky and uncoordinated. HHH, as good as he can be, has never been a guy who can get excellent matches from mediocre opponents and tends to wrestle at the level of the people he’s in the ring with. For all that, I quite liked the finish, as Khali has HHH in the Vice Grip, so Kozlov goes for the running headbutt to the chest, but HHH escaped so Kozlov headbutted Khali. Then Kozlov charged at HHH who avoided him and sent Kozlov crashing to the outside, and the worst pedigree you’ve ever seen won the match for HHH...

I don't agree that Triple H wrestles at the level of his mediocre opponents. I think you can only make someone with no talent look so good. Even The Undertaker and Triple H cannot make these two look good. Hopefully after No Way Out, they will find another program for Triple H. He is wasting his time trying to get a good match out of Kozlov.

Chamber Mates

Undertaker, Big Show and Triple H all qualified for the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match at No Way Out, and each Superstar made sure their performances were dominating, sending a message to current champion Edge. Full Results.
