Kelly Klein Punks Disco Inferno On His Comments About Womens Wrestling.
With added help from Lance Storm.
during an Impact Wrestling media call, Disco Inferno defended his stance about women's wrestling and stated that he's not sexist. One of his comments about women wrestling involved him comparing it to the WNBA and saying that, "They're not as good as the guys."
Inferno was also quoted saying, "I am a fan of the women's wrestlers that can combine good looks with good work. If there's a girl out there whose work isn't as good but she's hotter and has sex appeal, I'm a fan of that." He also mentioned that there was too much TV time dedicated to women's wrestling.
Former Women of Honor Champion Kelly Klein shared a link to a story about Disco Inferno comments with the caption: "Dude you are so gross but congrats on finding a way to get some attention."
Former ECW and WWE star Lance Storm quickly replied to Klein's tweet with, "I don't want to bother reading. Is his reason because he's upset most are having better matches and accomplishing more than he did during his run?"
Eric Bischoff Gives His Thoughts On The Professional Wrestling Scene Today
The wrestling industry we knew from the Hulk Hogan and even the Attitude Era has dramatically changed. Some embrace it while others challenge all that is happening. Once on the former's side, Eric Bischoff is now leaning towards the latter.
While reviewing WCW Souled Out 2000 on the 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff and Conrad Thompson discuss how the landscape has changed, using a Bret Hart rant from the dying days of WCW as an example. Bischoff empathized with a lot of what he wrote, even though Bret was never happy about his time in WCW. The product today, like WCW's product years ago, is different than what people are used to. Eric has heard similar comments like Bret's from various legends from the industry.
"I've heard the same thing from Dusty Rhodes to Ole Anderson to Greg Gagne," Bischoff stated. "Everyone I talked to that was a generation older than the current generation of wrestling lament the fact that the industry has changed; it is not what it used to be, the young guys are killing the business. I have been hearing the same conversation since 1987 from different people. I listen to it from Nick Bockwinkel, from Wahoo McDaniel and Ray Stevens. It is true. I think the business today doesn't reflect at all what the business was 15 years ago."
There are various reasons for the change in the business. While competition has been lagging since WCW died, the wrestling world has seen organizations try different things. Others, according to Eric, have either not changed or have done so for the better.
"It is completely different; it is completely scripted and sanitized," Eric went on to say. "On one side of the equation, you have WWE. On the other side you are watching stuff from the independent scene that looks more like America's Dumbest Home Videos in some cases. Then there's great stuff in the middle like Cody and the Bucks who are doing All In. Ring of Honor and other independent promotions are doing some really cool stuff as well."
While there are complaints all over, there is not much the older generation can do. Eric has accepted this due to the industry always changing on the fly. He recommends others do the same.
"The industry has changed and it always will," said Bischoff. "It will be different 20 years from now than it is today. You either adapt or you cry about it. Change your expectations, embrace the new way the product is being presented or you sit back and you get bitter and you talk about the good old days. Its the nature of the business. The same is probably true with really hardcore football fans. Sh*t changes, you got to change with it."
Kurt Angle Talks Actually Punching Brock Lesnar In The Face During A Match, Remaining WWE Goals
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle did another Facebook Q&A with fans. Here are some of the highlights:
If he has actually punched any WWE Stars in the face during a match:
"Yes. Let me see....Brock [Lesnar], [John] Cena, Shane [McMahon], and [Samoa] Joe. I've done it quite a bit. My punches can be a bit stiff...LOL. One time I hit Brock in the face, and he said to me 'Do I owe you money or something?'"
Eddie Guerrero winning his first WWE Championship:
"Eddie broke the barrier of being undersized and winning the World Title. He and Chris [Benoit] made a huge statement at WrestleMania 20. It was one of the greatest 'feel good' moments I've ever seen. Eddie was the most deserving of this prestigious moment. He earned it."
If it bothers him how everyone usually comments on Brock Lesnar's botched shooting star press during their match at WrestleMania 19, despite the match being really good:
"No, everyone knows how good it was. I'm happy that people talk about the shooting star press, that's what gets people that haven't seen the match interested in watching it."
What's left to accomplish in his wrestling career:
"I have nothing that I feel I need to accomplish, other than an amazing retirement match, whenever that is."
