somebody told me a few weeks back that one of his carers was caught abusing him/slapping him around, which is awful on any level, nevermind a guy who could have murdered him with his thumbs "back in the day". Shitty few weeks for him

RIP Ox Baker.
He had such a great look for pro wrestling. I've heard he was also one of the nicest guys ever. His Heart Punch got over for a good reason - On June 13, 1971, Ox and his partner the Claw were wrestling in an AWA Midwest Tag Team Championship tag team match against Alberto Torres and his partner Cowboy Bob Ellis in Verdigre, Nebraska. Torres was injured during the match and died three days later. Though evidence indicated that Torres died of a ruptured appendix, Baker's Heart Punch was blamed and, though by his own account Baker was privately distraught over the death, he did "work" it as though he had killed Torres. On August 1, 1972, in Savannah, Georgia Baker faced Ray Gunkel, who was a popular wrestler in (and part owner of) the Georgia promotion. Though it was claimed that Gunkel dropped dead in the ring from the Heart Punch, other accounts, most notably in the biography of Vince McMahon Sex, Lies and Headlocks, state that Gunkel had suffered a heart attack apparently from over-indulging at a restaurant before the match. The truth is that Gunkel won the match and died in the dressing room after the match. In both cases, Baker was "blamed" for the death. Him and Ronnie Garvin were involved in one of my favorite angles. -Ronnie stomped on Ox's dentures Here's Ox Baker's full appearance on the Price Is Right Ox started a riot in Cleveland circa 1974 when he relentlessly heart punched another wrestler. |

Yeah, terrible news on Paige and Alicia joining Total Divas.
Especially if the "no cast member will hold the title" thing is true. Also, they are two of my favourites, so I have no desire to have my illusions about them shattered and find out that they are terrible people or something. |

Either that or its a sign that Charlotte and/or a few others are getting called up before the new season arrives assuming the no title for Total Divas rule still exists by then. |

Uhaa wrestled this past weekend in Thomson, GA. I was impressed by both him and his tag team partner Moose. They faced A.R. Fox and some other guy. Anyhow, There was an indyriffic spot where Fox and the other guy ended up double pinning Moose, and Moose throws both of them off of him at the same time. I was like "Whoa." Nation was damn good, too.
Also on the card, if you care, was Mr. Hughes (who lost a lot of weight), the Hurricane, and Sugar Dunkington. |

Here's a thought for you, if you ever feel like a goof:
Somebody in WCW heard that "Mean" Mark Callous was taking an offer to go North and though "Who cares. It's not like he'll ever be a big deal." Here's another one: Eric Bischoff was pretty much the only guy in WCW at the time that didn't think Steve Austin was going to be a big star. |

I'm going to take a guess and say that Natalya living with Cena will cause Nikki to become jealous. Classic "reality" television. It's about as scripted as professional wrestling is. |

I misread that and thought that Nattie was a furry.
