Crazy UFC News: Couture Returns

Craziness! It seems that the lawyer’s from the UFC finally submitted Randy Couture and Mark Cuban in the battle to decide where the now-45-year-old cage veteran will be allowed to fight. People in Las Vegas have been whispering for some time that UFC President Dana White and Randy had begun to renegotiate on more personal (read: no lawyers) terms–and it turns out the rumors are true!

Wrestler Needs a Chair And Fans Deliver

I don’t care how “fake” professional wrestling is, getting hit with fifty f**king chairs is going to hurt, regardless. At least he didn’t ask them bricks…

A Chat With WWE Diva And Playboy Covergirl Maria

She’s made Ric Flair fall face first with a kiss, she has an irresistible smile, she cancan take body slams, and most importantly she loves babies and puppies. She’s none other then WWE Diva turned Playboy Covergirl, Maria Kanellis.

Maria won wrestling fans hearts with her ditzy personality (don’t let it fool you), long legs, green doe eyes that melt even the coldest heart, and her gestures of blowing kisses to the crowd. Maria was kind enough to take time out of her busy schedule to talk to COED about everything from wrestling, life, and Barry Manilow?! Read More »

Confessions Of A Wrestling Fanatic

wwe.jpgThere’s usually some sort of bustle on the floor in my dorm on Monday nights. My roommate’s focus is Top Chef, while my friend Allison used to be utterly devoted to Prison Break (she dropped it in favor of Pushing Daisies, which should be back soon!). Heroes used to be playing in at least three rooms on our meager 9-room floor. But my girlfriend and I, from 9 until about 11 (sometimes 11:05 or even 11:10), are otherwise occupied. All year ‘round. What on earth could we be watching that doesn’t end the season at some point?

Wrestling. Monday Night Raw, specifically.

I used to watch wrestling and play the games with my cousin. I didn’t really get into it a whole lot; I though everyone looked kind of weird, aside from that Shawn Michaels dude. Okay, he was kind of weird too, but not like Hulk Hogan weird. I liked The Rock, too; he made me laugh. But I didn’t watch anything regularly. I only watched it with my cousin when I was over at his house and it was on, or he wanted to show me a VHS (throwback!) or something similar. My mom HATED wrestling and wouldn’t let me watch it at home, even if I wanted to.

I dropped out of the WWE (then WWF, but changed because the real WWF threw a hissy fit. I still think it’s be great to throw the Rock and a panda in a steel cage match together) for a pretty long time once I stopped hanging with my cousin. It wasn’t until I came to college that the girl who was then just my good friend somehow managed to get me to watch Raw. Read More »

Floyd Mayweather Comes to the WWE

Floyd Mayweather WWE

The greatest pound for pound fighter in the world is about to step into a different ring. Last night on WWF RAW, Floyd Mayweather accepted the challenge of “The Big Show” Paul Wight for a match that will most likely occur at Wrestlemania 24.

The storyline for the match began at Sunday night’s WWE Pay Per View, No Way Out, when The Big Show attacked WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio Jr.

Mayweather, a Mysterio fan, was in the audience and decided he had seen enough and confronted the Big Show. The Big Show shoved Mayweather, who responded with a series of stiff shots (read: closed fist punches) to the wrestler’s face, giving him a bloody nose. Read More »

Hulkster’s Getting Divorced

hulk hoganA reporter for the St. Petersburg Times blind-sided Hulk Hogan on Friday with news that his wife Linda had filed papers for divorce.

Hogan told the reporter he “knocked the bottom out of me” and had to hang up the phone for a little bit to figure out what was going on. The Hulkster would later call back and thank the reporter for the “great information” but would decline to make any further comments due to the personal nature of the issue.

Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, married his wife Linda in 1983, just prior to him winning his World Wrestling Federation Championship from the Iron Sheik in Madison Square Garden, which is the subject of a grudge the Sheik still carries to this day. Read More »

Everybody Loves Midgets

Everyone Loves Midgets These days good humor is hard to find. Everything is watered down because people are afraid that a joke will offend someone of another race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or meal preference. However, there is one thing that will always put a smile on people’s faces: midgets!

Midgets always equal fun, no matter what. Take for example midget wrestling. Does anybody remember when the WWE used to have a midget division? It was great! They even had a midget version of Randy Savage called the “Macho Midget� who would drop the big elbow off the top rope. And who can forget Doink the Clown’s little companion, Dink.

Midgets have also given us some of the most memorable movie characters of all time. Who can forget Warwick Davis as Willow? And the Austin Powers‘ sequels would’ve been nothing without Verne Troyer as Mini-Me. And of course there was the Lord of the Rings trilogy where the main heroes are hobbits and dwarves. Famous actors portrayed the characters but if you look closely, whenever Frodo and his buddies are standing next to humans there body doubles are midgets! Gone are the days when the midget portrayed only a troll or fairy. Read More »

Chris Benoit is just another statistic in an alarming new trend

Yeah, yeah by now we all know that Chris Benoit was an enormous psycho. The guys smothered his 7 year old son for cryin’ out loud. Not to take away from the horrible tragity but the death rate among pro wrestlers is an emerging trend that is quite alarming. Eric Cohen from About.com explores wrestling “Dirty Little Secret” the death rate among pro wrestlers.

Cohen blames the trend on steroid use, large bodies, accidents and the culmination of all these factors in their “old” age. Cohen then goes on to list what looks to be 100+ names of WWF/WWE superstars that have died before the age of 65 from 1985 - present. While everyone is analysing why Benoit flew off his hinges it is also important to look at Cohens article and the blairing statistics.
