LAW Dec 2 Update - Tag match added to 'Armageddon'
POSTED: December 2, 2008 - 10:37 pm
CATEGORIES: Wrestling
**The WWE has added Mark Henry & Tony Atlas Vs Finlay & Hornswoggle to the "Armageddon" Pay Per View on December 14th in Buffalo.
**The upcoming movie "The Wrestler" is one of the nominations for Best Picture for the Independent Spirit Awards. The movie will have a limited release in New York and Los Angeles on December 19th and a wide release in January.
**President George W. Bush conducted a video message today commending the WWE for their "Tribute to the Troops" event and thanking them for doing the show. A lot of the talent left after "Raw" last night to fly over. The show will air December 20th on NBC in a 1-hour special.
**TNA "Impact" did a 1.12 rating last Thursday night, which is tremendous considering the dent that Thanksgiving night used to have on "Smackdown" when it aired on Thursday nights. Their ratings may not fluctuate or grow tremendously but it is a very loyal audience that watches routinely every week despite that not translating over to Pay Per View buys.
**Canadians will get to watch "Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling" starting Sunday December 14th on MuchMoreMusic. The show concludes this Saturday in the U.S on CMT.
**Edge, Natalya and Rocky Johnson will be in Toronto Wednesday at the Daily Bread Food Bank at Islington & Lakeshore Blvd to encourage people to donate to the Food Bank's annual holiday drive, which kicked off on November 28th and runs through January 2nd.
**William Regal missed the "Raw" house shows and the TV tapings last night because of an illness he contracted on the recent European tour.
**The recently released Armando Estrada has posted the following posting on his MySpace page:
Esperate, Esperate, Esperate, Everybody Listen to Me! First and foremost greetings to all my fans, friends, and loyal supporters. It's been a while since you've last heard from Armando Estrada, and you may be wondering what is going on? On November 18, 2008 after sitting down with my boss, Johnny Ace, we came to a mutual decision to part ways. This was something we both agreed was in my best interest. By far this was one of the toughest decisions I've ever faced.
World Wrestling Entertainment is the one and only company I have ever wanted to work for growing up. I have a great appreciation for them allowing me to live out my dream. Nonetheless I enjoyed my time with the WWE, and have a sincere appreciation and great amount of gratitude toward them.
Also I would like to take the opportunity to thank the following for all their support: my family, the WWE fan base, referees, trainers, agents, OVW, and especially the boys. There is no doubt in my mind we will one day cross paths again.
And to everyone out there no need to be alarmed, Ha-Ha. Armando has not disappeared back to Cuba and will continue to entertain world wide only as he can. Keep a lookout for what's new in Armando's world on myspace.com/therealarmandoestrada.
**The WWE stock closed at $11.05 on Tuesday.

Speaking Of Hulk Hogan's Celebrity wrestling, Did you see the last episode Pollock? According to Hogan, Andre weighed over 700 pounds when he slammed him at Wrestlemania III. You got to love Hogan's warped sense of reality.

Yes, the infamous match where Hogan claims they went into the ring without a finish, it was a semi shoot, Andre was over 700 pounds, he blew his back out from slamming him and then went on a month straight of Japan dates right afterwards. Say what you will but the Hogan book is a must read for everyone.

On the October 19tth edition of LAW, now available for download at www.thefightnetwork.com\assets\Downloads\112\101908.mp3, John Pollock confirms that his new Cock Block Pollock segment is up and running and that he finds it exhilarating to converse with total strangers. Listen at 135.50 as the nun-beating fishdildo mentions his newfound friend and WCW original, 'Justin from Atlanta GA'. My dear readers, you too can become a friend and get to know all the gossip about wrestling and MMA... call John Pollock now at 416 486-8754 or leave a message at his voicemail, 416 987-2319 - he's oiled up and will be taking your calls and propositions in this new no-holds barred segment called Cock Block Pollock. Topics of conversations may include everything from 'why haven't you put the show up for download yet?' to 'how many times a week do you and Wai Ting do it?' His preferred time of taking calls is around 2 in the morning, and you can be sure to get all the inside dirt in the world of wrestling and MMA if you call him at this hour. Again, his numbers are 416 486-8754 and 416 987-2319. As a side note, let me assure you that this attention to the Cock Block Pollock segment does not detract from my main objective, which is to get the incompetent Dan Lovranski off the airwaves. I am fully committed to the cause, and I know the hundreds of fellow Lovranski-haters who signed the petition and emailed me are too. Together we are strong.

When is this stupid fued with Henry and Finley going to stop. Finley is the worst babyface I've seen in years. He was way better as a bad guy. Henry is just collecting paychecks now. He needs to get some real competion like Khali. Another horrid good guy. Khali and Henry should form a group and go after the creative team in the WWE. Why are they so predictable now? TNA may not have the best ratings but I feel their giving their fans a good bang for their buck for only one show. The WWE makes me feel pretty jipped right now.

Gotthorm is the perfect definition of a failed abortion. At least if youre going to post garbage be funny about it. Are you that guy who makes a little joke, gets a couple of smirks maybe a laugh or two and then beats the living ass out of the joke by going on and on and on? This would also assume people talk to you in real life, outside of your job of panhandling and being a test-slave to greasy biker sodomites. Now stop listening to the LAW and tell your mom herpes is an STD and certainly not a hobby.and to, in her next life, properly connect with the coat hanger.
