I think Renee should wrestle on NXT

Alfredo Esquivel is only 10 but has been fighting all his life.
Alfredo was born with a congenital heart defect. Because he has just one ventricle in his heart, instead of two, the San Antonio, Texas, fourth-grader often struggles for air, must frequently use oxygen and tires easily.
And he's having arrhythmias that need to be controlled with medicine. And sometimes his heart rate goes to 200, his nurse, Paty delPalacio, said.
Alfredo sometimes uses a wheelchair, but it has never stopped him from pursuing his passion: wrestling.
The boys wrestling idol is WWE superstar John Cena.
I like John Cena because I think he's a good wrestler and I like how he fights and everything. And I like that if he's champion, he doesn't go bragging about it, Alfredo said.
Alfredo and his brother enjoy watching wrestling together and Alfredo himself has mastered many of Cenas moves.
Alfredo was able to study those moves up close last month when Macys and the Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfilled his dream to meet Cena.
This is the seventh year Macy's and Make-A-Wish have teamed up for the Believe Campaign to spread holiday cheer to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
The Nov. 23, 2014, trip to St. Louis was a surprise treat for Alfredo and his entire family. Alfredo was excited before his meeting with Cena, and when his idol greeted him and asked how he was doing, he was star-struck.
Oh, my God, he said.
The fun didnt end with the meeting. Cena presented his fan with a WWE Championship Title belt, T-shirts and autographs and took him on a tour of the backstage area.
There were even ringside seats for Alfredo and his family, including his brother Mark, 11, to watch the wrestling action up close.
Cena may be Alfredos idol, but the boy is an inspiration to Cena.
It is such a gratifying feeling, one, to have somebody say that their one wish is to hang out with you, Cena said. And then on top of that, to be able to see the end product, see the joy in the kid's, and the family's faces.
The meeting made Alfredos ultimate dream a reality.
If I'm having trouble in the future, I can always look back and say, Today is the day I met John Cena, he said. I shouldn't be feeling bad because I should just think about the time when I met him. Don't be stressed out. And just relax."
If it takes her away from commentary, that would be nice, she's not improving unfortunately.
Just reading back some of the last few pages... You guys are funny. If this community was around in the 90's Shawn would've never lost his smile.
She's pretty good. Easily the best on colour they have in NXT since Regal went to GM.
I just want to meet the kid who wants to meet Brock or Kane.
1 is a sociopath and the other is a Benjamin Franklin tinfoil fedora wearing libertarian.

Damn. Tough deal for that kid. Hard life man. :\
...I bet he complains less than Punk.
That's a cool kid, that's what he is.
Probably like "Fuck cancer, I'll beat this shit and go on a 3 month vacation like my hero Brock"

Im a big Vince Russo fan, I think hes very talented, I think he gets a bad rap, but I feel like the way everything played itself out, when Im negotiating a business deal and its private, you have to keep certain things confidential whether its a new signing, or how your creative is going. All things are critical to the right element, and things were getting out concerning his involvement, and it was becoming a distraction. I think hes incredibly talented, I really do, but its like when you have a football player on your team, and that player is getting a certain amount of attention and distraction, he may be a very good player but youve got to ask yourself if its the right thing for where youre at right now, and if youre trying to create a certain kind of locker room of peace, we were right in the middle of very important stuff, and we didnt need that. Im a fan but it wasnt the time to take it to another level. Vince has worked with us three different times, and the one thing Ive learnt in wrestling is that you never say never and Ill never say never on Vince [coming back to TNA].
Best commentary team is PWG's team of Excalibur plus anyone else.
How do those Punk pictures exist? I thought WWE didn't promote anyone but Cena?
Is the best color on NXT just going 'OH' because they could sign any indie geek to do that.
Did anyone bring up that Nash and Punk were a Jeopardy question this week?
Nah, frail ass Punk just happened to be in the hospital, so he did the Make-a-Wish appearance as a matter of convenience. And his idea of cheering the kids up was to ask them to smell his fingers.
TNA's big problem going forward in 2015 is that they laid off basically everyone on the side of the company that did the actual touring wrestling business. So they are a TV show on a third rate channel that can't make any money going on the road. They are fucked.
His pants are sagging because Hunter stole his belt.
