JG's Insanity Notebook: Total Nonstop Morale Boosters, Jim Ross Before The Jacuzzi, Say Hell-o To The Fake Guy, Why Uso, Too Much Drinking in 1992, and More

By James Guttman Jul 15, 2010 - 12:30 PM

- A lot has been made of Dixie Carter's TNA talent meeting this past week where the owner told employees to tighten up their in-ring work.   While some see this as an unneeded shot to the roster's morale, TNA says it's not like that at all.   All the talent was said to be in good spirits following the meeting and were allowed to return to their cages in time for their bread and water dinners.

 

- Also, rumors continue about Paul Heyman's possible debut with the company as a backstage employee.   Heyman would come in following the company's highly publicized debut of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff just seven months ago.   It all follows their new motto - "TNA - We Are Wrestling…From 15 Years Ago"

- It narrowly beat their alternative motto - "TNA - Cross The Line Rather Than Stand In It To Get Tickets To Our Shows."

 

- Ricky Steamboat is looking better by the day and ready to be released from the hospital soon.   WWE has gone out of its way to insist that his burst capillary had nothing to do with his attack from the Nexus members.   It's actually because of all the lighter fluid he drank for his 1992 WWF entrances.

 

- Buff Bagwell announced his retirement this past week.   His co-workers were in tears and said that The Olive Garden wouldn't be the same without him.

 

- Am I the only one who thinks that Drew McIntyre kind of resembles a pony?   I feel like he should let kids brush him and feed him carrots before matches.  

 

- Untrue Fact of the Day:   Rikishi's last name is not "Uso."   It's Rubenstein.   The only reason his sons use that name is because when they tell women at bars that their dad is the guy who used to ram his ass into people's faces for WWF, they say, "Ewww.   So?"

 

- Jim Ross wrote on his blog that he's been doing marathon sessions of voice-over work for the new WWE video game in recent days.   Of course, those in Oklahoma know that "voice over work for the new WWE video game" is actually slang for PCP.

 

-  Speaking of Ross, WWE removed him from their opening for the start of their shows.   Goldberg tweeted that the move was done as punishment for J.R.'s on-camera interview at UFC 116.   With all these J.R.-WWE things through the years, am I the only one who pictures Jim and Vince McMahon having phone calls like Mel Gibson had with his girlfriend?  

 

- "I DON'T LOVE YOU, J.R.!   I DON'T TRUST YOU!   YOU F*****IN' B**W ME FIRST BEFORE THE JACUZZI!   BEFORE THE JACUZZI!  BECAUSE I DESERVE IT!   (heavy panting)   Look what you do to me.   LOOK WHAT YOU DO TO ME, J.R.!"

 

- On a side note, if you told me ten years ago that there would be a sentence that began with the phrase "Goldberg tweeted," I'd have stared at you like you had three heads.   Hell, even five years ago.

 

- It was revealed recently that former wrestler Rick Bogner, who played the fake Razor Ramon in WWF, has written a book.  Actually, it's just a piece of wood that's painted to look like a book.

-

- Florence Henderson hosted Raw this past week.   Of course, Florence appeals to the coveted demographic of no one ages zero to a million.

 

That does it for me this week.   I think I got my ranting out and can now go on with my week.   If you haven't yet, check out my awesome interview with Amazing Kong on ClubWWI.com.   Or you could call it my amazing interview with Awesome Kong on ClubWWI.com Either way, it's a glimpse at the real side of Kong, who's really a sweet person who does a lot of charity work to help others.   I think you'll really enjoy it.   There's over 250 more on there too…including Buff Bagwell.   Yup.   So check it out and Be Well.   Thanks for sharing my Insanity.
