Title: ESPN's Take on WWE Summer Slam
Post by: eS El Duque on August 22, 2005, 05:21:53 PM: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/050822

10:44 -- Poor Hulkster just bladed (cut himself with a razor blade to make himself bleed, although we aren't "supposed" to know he did it) and has fake-looking streaks of blood rolling down his face. He was always terrible at blading -- in WrestleMania 2, you could see him doing it during the King Kong Bundy match, I remember being devastated at the time. But that's a whole other story. Anyway, he's wearing the crimson mask.

"Guys, what did I tell you?" Coach says smugly. "Hulkamania dies tonight."

10:03 -- Just saw a promo for "Wrestlemania 22." That's right, no more roman numerals. You think wrestling fans were getting too confused? Yeah, it's Wrestlemania ex ex eye eye ... um ... how many is that?

9:11 -- Angle wins in six minutes and gets his medal back. I'd rather not talk about it.

Post by: eS El Duque on August 22, 2005, 06:26:09 PM: 8:10 -- Our first match is for the U.S. Championship: Orlando Jordan against Chris Benoit, who has an "I used to headline some of these things, now I'm wrestling some guy named Orlando Jordan?" look on his face. This match will last about as long as Jose Cruz Jr.'s career did with the Red Sox.

8:11 -- Yep, Benoit used the German suplex and the Crossface to win the title in about five seconds. Good to see the WWE is still practicing the old SD Jones Policy with black wrestlers -- in other words, come out, dance around, lose in under 20 seconds.

O.K., there's a couple ways to take that.

1. Maybe, the guy thinks Hogan bladed, and thinks he's smart for seeing that, but since the blood looks fake, maybe the guy mistakenly saw Hogan blade?

2. Maybe, the guy's just an idiot who can't discertain that he's contradicting himself in the same sentence, or

my favorite

3. The guy is trying SO HARD to be a cynic that he can't just hate Hogan's outward actions (blading) he even has to criticise the blood that runs through Hogan's veins (looks fake).
