Yeah, I know what you're thinking right now, "What the hell is Shaq doing? And who is that over grown behmouth trading choke grabs with him?"
Well, if you didn't know the Diesel was the special guest host of WWE Monday Night Raw last night and things looked pretty good for Shaq. He is actually a huge fan of WWE and every time they show up in a town he is in (He has changed addresses a lot over the last few years) he shows up at the events and hangs with the boys in the back.
He was the special enforcer for a tag team match at the end of the show (I know the details, but not sure you want to be impressed by my geekness) and ended up getting involved. That led to the what you see here:
Seeing this got me thinking about the athletes that have made the jump into the ring. Lawrence Taylor, who headlined Wrestlemania IX, probably tops the list as one of the biggest names to appear in WWE. There's a big list of football players.
There are also some other sports stars. Dennis Rodman headlined a pay-per-view by teaming with Hulk Hogan in WCW.
He even has his own action figure (cause that's what boys call it!). There is one on eBay if you're interested in buying one, too. Haha.
Last night also meant a new T.O. Show on VH1. If you read yesterday's post, you saw how excited I was for it and I was once again impressed. This week we saw him arrive in Buffalo. You know, the more I see of him, the more I like him. Some have said it's the worst reality show ever, but I think it helps make him personable which is something he needs.
Here's one of the bonus scenes. It opens with his best friends and publicists talking about the episode. After this, you've gotta check out the entire episode.
That was the good side of Monday night. The bad was the Brewers game that saw Jeff Suppan give up 10 runs and Josh Willingham put himself into the history books.
Willingham hit not one grand slam (which deserves a pat on the back), but rather, two. Not sure if you're a massacist or not, but you can watch them here. Yeah I know! If it wasn't against the Brewers I'd be impressed. Instead, I'm ready to pack up the memorabilia and get ready for the Bears to open training camp Friday in Bourbonnais. The fact Suppan had to stay in the game because manager Ken Macha doesn't feel better about any of the other pitchers in the bullpen to come into the game says something about where the team is at right now. The talk about the team trading for a top tier pitcher like they did last year to get CC Sabathia, is now long gone because people are realizing it wouldn't help a whole lot. Like one of the guys I follow on Twitter wrote today, it really can't get much worse.
Enough of that, time to get something that can pick us all up. As just a regular guy trying to make it big I like to see some guys that have everything go through some tough times. Well, that's the news today as Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian have apparently parted ways. That, my friends earns her a spot on today's Nussie Hunter. As I'm not really a fan of her booty, here's her front side (which isn't bad if you ask me!)
Another programming note: Tomorrow I'm covering the WIAA Summer baseball state tournament for Preps On The Net in Stevens Point, but I'm going to try to make a post. It might be a bit later than normal, but we'll see what we can do.
