Jake Roberts Will Kill Himself In The Ring and other news
By Brady Carlson - Posted on June 28th, 2008
I will start your weekend with some wrestling news and your weekend will be so much better because of it:
*Jake Roberts tells Kevin Eck "I’ll never retire. [wrestling's] my passion. I hope to die in that ring." Wrestling bloggers, having never heard of a figure of speech, write that Jake intends to do the job in a handicap match against an electric chair, a cyanide capsule and a firing squad. Next week on Powell's POV: Samoa Joe really is going to kill you!!!!1111
*More fallout from the WWE Stupidity Draft, as Rey Mysterio is less than thrilled that Vince wants him to repeatedly injure his knee on RAW instead of Smackdown, but since Triple H is now on Smackdown there will be plenty of injuries already.
*A wrestler was arrested in Indiana for trying to pass himself off as Steve Austin. No, it wasn't Shark Boy.
*Oh, this stinks. Flood damage at the Wrestling Hall of Fame in Iowa.
*Scott Keith on Backlash 2002: "Jeff [Hardy]’s day-glo entrance makes him look like he had a barium enema before the match. And hey, if that’s what the kids these days are into, who am I to argue?"
