Publicist: "Heath Ledger Will Not Fight At WrestleMania"

Jericho Seeks Other Oscar Nominees To Challenge

No laughing matter: Y2J and The Joker may be headed to battle.

(Hollywood, CA) - A representative for 'Best Supporting Actor' Oscar nominee Heath Ledger says the actor has no plans to compete against Chris Jericho at World Wrestling Entertainment's annual WrestleMania spectacle.

Ledger, star of films such as The Dark Knight and Brokeback Mountain, is "fully committed to his acting career,” according to his publicist.

Jericho, WWE's first-ever undisputed World Heavyweight Champion, challenged Ledger on a recent edition of Larry King Live to step into "his world" at WrestleMania 25.

"Mr. Ledger turned in a commendable performance in The Dark Knight, but battling superheroes isn't as quite that effortless in actuality," Jericho said. "Mr. Ledger, if you ever crossed the threshold into my world, you'd be a dead man."

If Ledger doesn't accept Jericho's challenge, the Winnipeg native may challenge 'Best Actor' nominee Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), 'Best Supporting Actress' nominee Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button) or 'Best Writing In An Original Screenplay' nominees Andrew Stanton and Jim Reardon (Wall-E).

Keller's Take: Booking Jericho against Taraji P. Henson would be a mismatch, pure and simple. If WWE really wanted to challenge their audience, they'd have him face Viola Davis (Doubt).

Happy Greg Valentine's Day!

What Better Way To Say 'I Love You' ?

It doesn't have Hallmark on the back. It does have a Hammer, though...

(Seattle, WA) - World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame Greg "The Hammer" Valentine has entered the lucrative greeting-card industry, just in time for Valentine's Day.

"I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier," Valentine told World Wrestling Insanity News. "I mean, it's right there in my friggin' name."

The cards will be available wherever fine wrestling stationery is sold, and many will contain a photograph of Valentine's smiling face, romantic imagery and well-written prose.

There's also this one.

Thankfully, it's still not too late for you to slap a figure-four leglock on that special someone.

The Club WWI "Aaron Wood Sucks" Sign Contest!

 

"My name is Aaron... and I love to SUCK!"

A few weeks back, World Wrestling Insanity Hall of Famer ZAH   ( remember him? ) and I created a contest with the sole expressed purpose of humiliating Captain Suck Aaron Wood.

 

Basically, ZAH and I want to see a sign that says "Aaron Wood Sucks" pop up on television, DVD or pay-per-view. We want this sign to last for all time in the annals of wrestling history. Whether it's on RAW, SmackDown, ECW, TNA or (sigh) ROH, ZAH and I want visible (ideally HD) proof that "Aaron Wood Sucks" was in clear view for the world to see.

The grand prize will include:

  • One (1) DVD
  • At least two weeks of shout-outs on Complete and Utter Bulldog and The World According To ZAH .
  • At least three weeks of pimpage and kudos in this very column.
  • The respect of your peers and knowledge of a job well done.  

So what are you waiting for? Let's see that sign!

WWI Obscure Wrestling-Related Reference Of The Week

I forget... who screwed who again?

Worldwrestlinginsanity.com reader Legend Killer writes: "The other day, I was at a Ring Of Honor show, and my friends and I started shouting 'You Screwed Bret! You Screwed Bret!' for no discernable reason. It reminded me of the time when Vince McMahon screwed Bret Hart."
