Best chant at the last ROH show in Collinsville was when Lethal got stripped out of his clothes by Taven and wrestled in his underwear eliciting a "this is awkward" chant. Outside of that the chants were not ECWesque. Im just hoping some of the St. Louis Anarchy guys get to be in the dark matches tonight.

I found out there was an ROH event in OKC on the day of the event. If I had known sooner, I may have considered going even though I know a whole lot of nothing about ROH. Could've been fun. I wonder if my boy Sunny Mac went...

Tough Enough season 5 runner-up Luke Robinson said:
About two weeks before we were flown to Florida for the FCW taping, I get a call from the executive producer. He goes “Who’s Donnie Drake? What’s this Donnie Drake stuff?”

After college, I worked for two companies that market what they call ‘custom videos to a homosexual audience.’ I’m fully-clothed in normal wrestling gear, there’s no sex acts, no nudity, (just suggestive holds, nothing that you couldn’t see on Monday Night RAW). They wanted attractive guys with muscles and they market it to a homosexual audience. I put it on my background check … it wasn’t a secret. I never compromised my morals or values.

You know when you’re a babyface selling? You’re crawling up the heel, using his kneepads and tights to pull yourself up. Someone made a crude photoshop picture that got passed around… (on the internet it got distorted to ‘Luke did gay porn’).

(A buddy of Luke’s) was trying out in FCW, he was down there when John Laurinaitis was down there. (A couple of weeks after the Tough Enough finale, people were asking) “What happened to that Luke Robinson kid from Tough Enough?”

My buddy called me and said the direct quote from John Laurinaitis was “We don’t need any of that homo shit here…”

That was four years ago, and obviously you have Darren Young now. Now they use some of this PR stuff in a positive light to paint the picture that they’re a very philanthropic company. Stephanie McMahon’s admitted in an interview with Forbes that ‘the future of marketing is philanthropy’. I’m not saying it’s not wonderful that they promote the anti-bullying and Make A Wish, but the fact is there’s a lot of bullying and bad things that go on behind the stage.

Thing is....I don't know if he would still be hired today. Porn is porn....whether it's soft core or not, and it sounds like no matter how he wants to put it, he did porn.

Edit: Looking at some of the images....clothes are on, but definitely porn.

Thats awesome! Im looking forward to seeing Delirious and Sydal make their returns to the area. I watched both back in the day when they started with GCW in St. Louis.

It's literally the exact same thing Ambrose and Rollins did. They worked for one of those companies. Both were hired. Rollins also had the nudes leak, yet still was given the belt.

I've looked at both actually....they're both more laughably bad wrestling than porn.

Can't believe there is a market for that sort of thing....at least Ultimate Surrender makes a show of the wrestling part of it.

Is Spike re-airing Glory 22 tonight? Who the heck is watching the live showing at 4 pm Eastern on a Friday?

Edit: Nope, we get a bloody Cops marathon tonight instead.

Never watched Glory, but saw it listed on Spike as you did. Was definitely curious. Is 22 the most recent one?

I've never bought food at a theater.

Wait 1 1/2 - 2 hours and go outside and pay less for something that doesn't taste like rubber.

It's airing live from France today on Spike. I'm surprised there's no prime time re-airing, but I guess a Glory rerun would do worse than the fabled Cops rerun block.

Would you believe me if I told you I got offers to do them a bunch and turned them all down?

The money the talent gets for it apparently is ridiculous, though. One girl gave me a figure of like 2k for a weekend, and that's apparently normal

I'd never film em, though. Normal wrestling shows have done some shit that already made me feel uncomfortable!

I like how HBK's Playgirl shoot comes at literally the height of his boring babyface championship run. Gives great material for Bret and Austin in the future.

I ain't no SEXY BOY!
