THE GREEN TEABAGGER

The WWE section of the one and only World Wrestling Insanity Message Boards were lit up this week because there's some pay-per-view this weekend, oh gosh what's it called again?

Oh yeah. Wrestlemania 27.

Here's the card as it lines up now:

WWE Championship: The Miz (c) vs. John Cena
World Heavyweight Championship: Edge (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio
No Holds Barred: The Undertaker vs. Triple H
Jerry 'The King' Lawler vs. Michael Cole w/Jack Swagger and Stone Cold Steve Austin as the gues referee
United States Title: Sheamus (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
Randy Orton vs. C.M. Punk
'Dashing' Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Misterio
Trish Stratus, John Morrison, and Snooki vs. LayCool and Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero in their corner
The Corrrrrrrrrrrre (Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett, Ezekiel Jackson, and WWE World Tag Team Champions Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater) vs. Big Show, Kane, Santino Marella, and Vladimir Kozlov

Side note: Heath Slater is a three-time tag team champion. Scary, isn't it?

The go home show for Wrestlemania was this week's Raw with The Rock returning to confront John Cena and The Miz.

RDLee: Holy sh*t. Dana White just promoted WWE RAW for tonight. I never thought I would see that. Good for him.

JohnnyCraze: Gotta love the brand split.....actually, what brand split

The Green Teabagger: This happens EVERY year around Royal Rumble to Wrestlemania time. It's a fact of life to hype the biggest part of WWE's year.

RDLee: Now I feel sorry for Kofi Kingston, he isn't even on the card at all now.

T-Dog: Love seeing HBK breaking up this pretentious stoic sh*t by dancing like an idiot.

JohnnyCraze: Wow, just wow...........HBK basically just told HHH that he couldn't beat Taker at WM.

Aaron Wood: So, Snooki was apparently drunk during her skit. And yet, she was still a better worker than Jeff Hardy...
Well, yeah....

The pic is a few years old, but this is based from C.M. Punk's first Money in the Bank win and how it was supposed to be Jeff Hardy before he screwed that up. Kinda like what happened at Victory Road.

JohnnyCraze: Wow, I am pumped for WrestleMania. Suprised they didn't wait for that confrontation til Mania.

Bundorama: Really enjoyed The U.T./HHH/HBK, and Cena/Rock/Miz promos. The U.T./HHH match needed something else besides endless video packages, and this was it. That being said, I still don't think the majority of the fans are buying HHH to end the streak. This segment was a nice attempt, though....

Average: Does anything happen to the announcing team after WM after this god awful story arc is behind us?

Squeaky: Poor Kofi. Little did anyone realize that losing the strap to Barrett wasn't to have him get a rematch ala Bryan at Wrestlemania, but so the Intercontinental Champion would be booked. Pity. Taker/HHH was interesting. Almost making out Taker as the over the hill bully. This really showcased WWE's attempt at a more realistic product. Taker's mic work especially was impressive. Punk was gold and Orton is amazing. He sold the hell out of the knee and buckled so perfectly with the punt attempt. I think this is setting up Cena losing to Miz for the gold, with Rock laying the smackdown and declaring himself the special referee in some capacity.

Recently on Twitter, the seventh level of internet hell, Michael Cole was having some fun with Josh Matthews and well, one thing led to another and Cole called Josh a certain offensive F-word.

Fruitbooty? No, that's not it. Cole's better than Stevie Ray

Fat? That doesn't make sense. Josh Matthews weighs 120 pounds.

Funky? No, though I do hear Josh Matthews has some mean dance moves.

Fresh? You're not even trying are you?

Michael Cole called Josh Matthews a fa--ot. Yeah, that one.

The Twitter post was quickly removed and an apology given by Cole but this has sparked some conversation as to what WWE should do to Cole as far as punishment is given, especially given another recent incident concerning TNA's Jeremy Borash where he "wished death upon their family" as well as a bit of discussion on political correctness.

Bundorama: I don't think this is quite the big deal (ProWrestling.net's Jason) Powell made this out to be, given all that has happened since he posted it. However, he DID post a gay slur, and nothing can take it away. All I want to know is that for some here that were calling for Jeremy Borash's head when he (allegedly) told a follower on Twitter that he wished his "whole family died", are going to take the same stance here with Cole?

ZAH: Actually, I think it IS the big deal that Powell made it out to be. Calling somebody that is a very big deal and, especially after the recent dealings with GLAAD, WWE does not want to be seen as anything less than gay-friendly or have any type of negative publicity this close to WrestleMania. The word itself is offensive and is similar to calling a black person the "N" word.

Markus Ramius: i think the difference between this and wishing someone and their family would die are like apples and oranges. calling someone a ***got is just a name, Cole is the king of all douchebags on TV why shouldn't he be the same online.

Canadian Bulldog: I actually am in the camp of this being a big deal. Michael Cole has 23,000 followers, many of whom are young and impressionable. Even though he plays a jerk on television, doesn't mean he doesn't have a responsibility as a role model. If Cole is allowed to Tweet it, is it okay for some pre-teen to say that about a gay classmate? Obviously, a LOT of the things wrestlers do shouldn't be replicated by anyone (for example, hitting someone in the head with a chair), but the difference with Twitter is that its perceived as "real life" compared to what happens on Raw or SmackDown. The only good to come from this is, unlike TNA with Borash, is that WWE was pressured into taking some action here. Cole absolutely should be taking classes from GLAAD if he things calling someone that (joking or not) in a public setting is acceptable in 2011.

The Chosen 1: It's not about the gay slurs, it's about the fact that NOBODY in the public eye can speak their mind anymore in this country. He wasn't gay-bashing, he wasn't coming down on a gay person for being gay or calling a gay person less than him... he used a word that to THE MAJORITY of people in this country DOESN'T have the connotation that it has been given in recent years BY the gay community. For MOST people the word "faggot" is on level with "douchebag" and it is OBVIOUS by the way in which he said what he said that THIS is the way he meant it. The fact that because he responded to a friend on Twitter by calling him a faggot for ANY REASON, he has to risk losing his job and now has to take a sensitivity class or something (I forget what it was actually said he's doing now) is Absolutely, Amazingly RIDICULOUS. ) ESPECIALLY, BY THE WAY, When his PUBLIC PRESENTED PERSONA is that of an ASSHOLE! It'd be like Andrew Dice Clay apologizing for saying something mean or Howard Stern apologizing for Nudity on his show. THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE, IT'S HOW THEY ARE PRESENTED Character or NO Character.

squirrelz!: As for the "It's his character" thing, there's ways around that. It's called not being a moron by posting things on a social medium or don't go for shock value. You can be a jerk or comical without looking like a hateful individual. Just think before you speak/type. Basically I agree with you that this isn't too big of a deal from a personal standpoint, it is more from WWEs perspective. Your opinion about free speech just baffles me. You can't complain about people complaining because you yourself are complaining.

James Guttman: Cole's a putz. I talked about this last night in the audio I did. I think the reaction to Cena's promo was stupid and over the top, to be honest. He was making fun of a negative gay stereotypes rather than gay acts. He never made fun of Miz and Reilly because they blow each other. He said they ride tandem bikes to Bed Bath and Beyond. I thought it was funny. It's a big difference. It's like making fun of a jewish guy for being tight with his money - rather than making fun of him for having "a silly religion." It's like making fun of a black guy for wearing his pants around his ankles rather than for "being less of a person". You know, all that stuff. I found it to be too much and people need to lighten up in that sense. Cole's case - I feel differently. While I agree that he didn't mean it as a gay slur (Josh doesn't play an openly gay character on TV). It still was stupid. He represents a company online and needs to remember that in 2011, words that you could get away with years ago don't fly today.

Mike Johns: Note to everyone in the universe: if you say it in public, it's no longer your personal anything. You publicly shout the N-Word out on any street in America long enough, someone will kick your ass. And when they do, everyone looking on will think that you deserved it. If you go calling people F's on Twitter, eventually, someone is going to do something about it. It's not overly PC. It's living in a world where being an ignorant ass in public has consequences.

exx: While WWE is putting together these training classes for sensitivity to gays, they also need the whole roster to go through some kind of twitter training class cause there are too many people in the wrestling industry that don't seem to grasp how public twitter is.

I think if Todd Grisham or Josh Matthews would have done the same thing, they'd have been fired already and made an example of. If they would fire Daniel Bryan for being too violent, I'm sure they'd fire someone for doing this. They have too much invested in Cole at this point though. I don't know what kind of group (GLAAD) is, but if its one that puts pressure on advertisers this could end up pretty bad for the company.

THE GREAT WHITE DOPE

It's that time of year, again. WRESTLEMANIA! Which can only mean one true thing. Well, two true things if you count a majority of the world not knowing/caring. People trying to find ways to spend less than seventy dollars to watch Wrestlemania, yet still watching it live. Sure you could gather seven or more friends together and then buy food to watch it, but you're still looking at fifteen-twenty bucks. Us fans have to make this an experience. Luckily our resident Bulldog tried to get himself a WWI-party on. Why not join the boards, get with all of us, and come join a WWI wrestling party?

Canadian Bulldog

I realize this topic may have limited appeal on a message board, but figured it was worth a shot anyways....

WrestleMania is something like $70 on PPV this year, and local movie theaters are charging $27 a pop. I can't go to my fallback plan this year (go to The Big Rybowski's house and order it without him knowing), and there doesn't seem to be a follow-up to the AWESOME Iron Sheik and Virgil-hosted WM party I went to last year.

I'll throw this idea out there: Are there enough folks in the Toronto area (excluding Virgil) that would consider getting together at a movie theater to watch it? Just thinking it may be fun to do a WWI-sponsored get together.....

TheGreatWhiteDope

This is where we need to just get a WWi Convention with insanity stars (Hidenreich, snitsky, etc etc....Mae Young's baby hand) during WM weekend and just all watch the show in a theater.

Squirrelz!

Agreed! Where's the neutral location for this, must be done!

Squeaky

Anyone from the NY area know of a place that is showing Wrestlemania? Any truth to the rumor I've heard that WWE is charging sports bars for showing their PPV's by the SQUARE FOOT? Meaning a WWE PPV runs about 5 grand where a UFC PPV is under 1,000? All the BWW's and Dave & Busters up here show the UFC PPV's, but not WWE's.

So with Wrestlemania week upon us the WWI boards are usually in a frenzy. Most wrestling fans have that itch. Luckily James and Big Dick Johnson scratched that itch. Talking about everything from Big Dick to fat oily guys and everything in-between. James set-up the Club WWI members for a great early April Fool's Joke and revealed that it's the little things that please him.

The shoot was so intriguing resident board members quickly decided to re-subscribe just based on this interview alone. As someone who listened to it on my weekly commute I must say it was a unique and interesting treat. Talking about the creative side of wrestling this day in age is pretty damn interesting. A quick and pun-ladended conversation on our boards has left me with a challenge for all. Join the boards and try to top what Mike John's has called “Best Post Ever” (note: Canadian Bulldog tried right away. Unfortunately he was far to quick, didn't warm everyone up beforehand, and just kinda rushed in without a game plan.)

The Chosen 1

I haven't bought a subscription in about a month or so, but this one might bring me back when I get the $$$, quite a few interesting topics touched here... specifically the more CREATIVE related stuff.

Nelsolo

Great. Now I have a file named "dick" on my desktop. Well played.

James Guttman

Haha! I did that on purpose! I was going to make it "BDJ" but figured it would be funny that people would then have a saved file named "Dick".

It's the little things that make me smile, Nelsolo.

TheGreatWhiteDope

You're crafty though James. Because a video file, ok, the guy who owns the computer just wants to look at a penis. An audio file? It's intriguing. What is it? The sound a penis? The sound of a penis doing what? If I was using a friend's computer and this file was sitting on his desktop, it would be one of those "Don't touch the button" scenarios. I'd need to play the audio file.

James Bullock

The Canadian Bulldog

I'm surprised you didn't ask him if he ever stiffed anyone. It seemed like it would be a hard interview to get, but I'm glad he came.

With new avatars popping up every single week now on the insanity forums just to get the conveted spot of “AVATAR OF THE WEEK” (Seriously, this thing Is as big as a slammy. Probably about the same amount of notoriety goes with it too) I gotta go with an unchanged classic. Exx has had this avatar since most of our members can remember. If anything he is commemorating one of the greatest villains in one of the greatest shows that completely fell off the map after season one.

ALL HAIL SYLAR! Also, seriously go re-watch the amazing Season One of Heroes.

SQUEAKY

I'd like to think of myself as open minded. Experimentation is the spice of life after all. Music, art, expression, all of these things must be embraced.

With that in mind, f**k Rebecca Black and her no talent stupid song Friday. You waste of flesh, why on earth do I now have to live in a world where I know this piece of trash exists. THANK GOODNESS for the Insanity Galaxy (see guys I'm usin' it) and its contribution of not only a fantastic remix of that Rebecca Black abomination, but also an amusing remix featuring my least favorite castrati performer, Justin Bieber.

James Guttman:

Aaron Wood: That should not work as perfectly as it does. That is awesomer than awesome.

TheGreatWhiteDope: pfft

TNA Impact, 3/24…

…

…sorry Bundorama

squirrelz!: Not sure if I'll be watching, might go check out the McDonalds deep fryer for two hours instead.

The Green Teabagger: Only in TNA does a talking segment warrant a commercial interruption.

squirrelz!: hahahaha, during a TNA show they show a clip of John Cena beating up Hogan in the WWE All Stars commercial

TheGreatWhiteDope: I find it horrible that for this game when I hear Flair's music I can't tell if it's a match or a segment....when it should obviously only ever be a segment.

The Green Teabagger: The fact that Flair's in a suit doesn't even mean anything anymore either.

squirrelz!: Why does Flair get a weekly stripping but Madison Rayne doesn't? Life isn't fair

James Guttman: All the clips are on our main page now. Matt Hardy sucks. Sorry to be so blunt, but he's just weird. Either he's drunk for all his promos or else he's gotten to the point where he slurs and looks like he's about to pass out constantly. He seriously comes off like a 16 year old sneaking back into their house, trashed off their ass, and trying to play it straight for the folks.

Thank God he has Jeff. It's like the so-so looking girl who hangs out with ugly girls so she doesn't look so bad to boys.

Squeaky: Hey that's a future world champion you're talking about!

James Guttman: Any people who might think I'm just hating have to know that there was a time when Matt was really considered to be the next breakout star. The Matt Hardy V1 deal was awesome. Shannon Moore too. People were solidly behind the guy and I was definitely one of them. Since then, he's become nothing even close to what most people envisioned he would. It's really disheartening.

By the end of his WWE run, he was coming off like X-Pac towards the end. He was just there and greasy. The few times WWE let him run with the ball, he almost always certainly fumbled it. The Edge feud was a disaster for him and showed that all the talk about potential was in our heads.

Today, he's just incoherent. I don't get it. I don't get him. The slurring. The always public girlfriend-issues. The Twitter attention whore thing. The grapes on Youtube. Any one of those things would tank someone on the "superstar" totem pole. This guy has them all in one greasy package. You're killing me, Matt.

The Green Teabagger: It's easy. Bitch Hardy started believing his own hype about being the next breakout star, thought he could coast, and then never got over it when Lita fucked Edge.

RDLee: Tell us how you really feel James... lol. But yeah, I agree with you about everything you said. I smell a bait and switch tactic where Matt Hardy ends up as next weeks all new shoot interview guest for Club WWI since we would never expect it after what you wrote?

Aaron Wood: I think I know what the deal is. Matt's drug abuse isn't as obvious as Jeff's. Which if you think about it fits that family dynamic perfectly. Once again, Jeff gets to overshadow his brother.

Here at World Wrestling Insanity, we try to keep things clean. Emphasis on the word TRY. What started with an innocent homosexually themed photoshop image of Randy Orton and John Cena (which was removed…I know, I'm disappointed as well) turned into something much more interesting. The Aaron Wood and Canadian Bulldog Hate Each Other but it's not really about that this week so much as it's about full frontal nudity of Aaron Wood POST OF THE WEEK!

To say this is not safe for work is an understatement. It's not safe for your home. If at all possible, view this on a friends laptop…then burn it.

Aaron Wood: Who knew RD was into photography?

RDLee: Thank god I don't post the pictures I have of you then!

Aaron Wood: Go on. I dare you. Double dog dare you…

RDLee: NEVER double dog dare me Aaron Wood, I am the magic man… (CAUTION: NSFW! Nudity inside spoiler tag!)

Aaron Wood: I'm not even clicking that spoiler, but I'm gonna have to give you kudos for what I imagine is a photoshopped deal.

RDLee: I triple dog dare you to look inside the spoiler. Don't be scared... It's only your head on MacGruber's body...

Aaron Wood: I think I should wait until my dinner is fully disgested...

RDLee: Quit stalling and look at it already. Be proud!!!

Aaron Wood: OK just did. I suppose I might look like that if I were thin, albeit less hairy. I'd imagine I'd have a bigger wanger though. At least I wans't banging a dude like Cena and Orton there.

RDLee: That picture was taken when you were in your prime. lol. Imagine all you want but don't hate... Appreciate.

Aaron Wood: I've never had a prime. I've had plenty of prime rib though. That's how I look like this.

RDLee: Awesome. Same here buddy so no worries. QUIZNOS: PRIME RIB WITH PEPPERCORN SANDWICH FTW!!!

See, at least this had a happy ending.
