Where My Dogs At?

j

I have never been a fan of MMA, I think its too brutal and has the same amount of rules as a street fight (minus below the belt hits.)  But, what I have always been a fan of is celebrity wrestling, let it be boxing, MMA, WWF, anything where the potential to watch washed up celebrities trying to quick buck gets hurt.  Now this news article stumbled upon my lap.  The canine master himself, DMX was scheduled for a MMA match after training for a few months with an established MMA group.  I don't know what these MMA groups are, I'm just guessing they are like the Bushwackers (whom I met as a wee boy) or the Legion of Doom.  Just think of the possibilities of DMX at a MMA match, I can just see him walking in dragging 5 pitbulls and Party Up blasting in the background.  It would almost be more inspiring than the criminally underrated Hulk Hogans, "I am a real American."  If that doesn't rally you around America, only dogs and DMX could.  Sadly, a just released press statement said that DMX is pulling out of the match. The only other option is obviously Coolio.  Do you not remember Dangerous Minds? If not, for the younger folks more recently you may know him from "Cooking with Coolio : Ghetto Gourmet" on the Food Channel.  The more I research both of these guys, they deserve their own posts, so be on the lookout for more.

I am Real American!

You may remember another classic post involving this photo.  Now one of my favorite wrestler when I was little was the Nature Boy Rick Flair.   For those of you not up on your wrestling history, he was a big rival of both the Hulkster and Roddy Roddy Piper.  As many of you may or may not know, Hulk Hogan has been a little down on his luck recently with a ugly divorce and his son in prison.  The only logical place to turn to for support would be wrestling where he is the most iconic figure of all time and a true American.  But if you believe the video below. which is said to be not staged, he is not as beloved Down Under in Australia.  Apparently Rick Flair, always a ladys-man, and Hulk Hogan and been running the same groupie circles recently and Rick Flair was there to proof to Hulk that this has been his territory for the last 40 years.

As Rick Flair says... WOOOOOOOOOOOO
