Diamond Dallas Page, Yoga Guru

As I was eating my Wheaties, the thought of hey whats Diamond Dallas Page doing lately. With spoonfuls of the breakfast of champions being chewed I googled DDP. Apparently the former pro wrestler has become a fitness guru.

While pro wrestling is not considered a sport, what pro wrestlers do is athletic and many aches and pains are REAL. What started out as Diamond Dallas Page’s reluctant use of yoga to help him recover from debilitating injuries has evolved into a hybrid yoga developed by Page, that “Ain’t Your Mama’s Yoga!!”. DDPYoga was created while Dallas was recovering from ruptures to his L4/L5 discs.

While watching his wife’s yoga routine the former 3 time WCW World Heavy Weight Champion realized, the benefits of yoga when he regained his flexibility and strength that were hindered by his ruptured disks. DDP developed a book which later turned into a series of workout videos entitled DDPYoga.

DDPYoga targets people who wouldn’t otherwise do yoga. DDPYoga is a combination of intense zero impact workout that combines yoga, rehabilitation moves, dynamic resistance, and breathing technique. DDP says “The workout jacks up your heart rate, helps you lose weight, gain flexibility, get your body back and own your life”

I think why DDPYoga is so successful is Dallas’ personality, he genuinely wants to see people succeed. Working out is a labor of love it takes determination and some sacrifice. Six-time WWE champion, Chris Jericho swears by DDPYoga. Here is a great 15 minute clip of DDP and Y2J doing some DDPYoga, eating gluten free waffles and telling Eddie Guerrero stories.

There are hundreds of testimonials via DDPYoga‘s twitter page here are two that caught my attention.

The Good The Bad The Monday Night RAW Before Royal Rumble 1/23/12

I know its a tab early for the WrestleMania rumors but since the Rumble is this weekend Maina talk will be all the rage for the next several weeks.

Contrary to what has been previously reported, it appears that and are the two big matches currently being discussed. , fans have been expecting the tentative plan and while those plans have not been scrapped by any means, officials have discussed a creative shake-up.

Because of the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community) and its conspiracies and assumptions, rumors are circulating that we might see Triple H vs. CM Punk instead Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk at Mania. While is isn’t confirmed or denied the possible match might be scrapped. WWE is hip to the Internet game and as we know the WWE likes to shake shit up. So Chris Jericho vs The Undertaker might be a go.

If this does happen The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho wouldn’t be a bad watch. Having Taker do a fresh WrestleMania match is way better than seeing the repeats like the last 3 WrestleMania’s.

Ok lets get in to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Monday Night RAW.

THE GOOD:

WWE “King of the Ring Old School” Snapback Cap

I’m really not a hat guy but I own a few snapbacks. Sometimes I get in lazy mode so a snappy serves a purpose. I need to add to my collect of 4 this beauty…The King Of The Ring snapback.

The cap features a Grey crown with Navy bill. The main logo is a retro-style King of the Ring from the early 90s. This is available now at WWESHOP.COM

Fact..The King of the Ring tournament had its first pay-per-view event in 1993, but the original King of the Ring tournament was held in 1985. Don Muraco was the first King of the Ring in 1985.

The Good The Bad The Monday Night RAW 1/9/12

Normally I review Monday Night Raw in its entirety, but since were in a new year I’m going to do something a tad different. The Good, The Bad Monday Night Raw.

This is going to be what I liked and disliked about the program. Raw and Smackdown air for several hours on Universal HD for time warner cable on Saturday nights, I get to view both programs twice and it really cement what I like or didn’t. I have the flu so bare with me if my enthusiasm is non existent. My brain feels like its trapped under Rick Ross’s underboob. Insane pressure.

THE GOOD:

WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston vs. World Champion Daniel Bryan

Bryan came out, very confident pointing at the Championship and going “I’m the Champion!!!!”. Bryan caught Kofi with the LeBell Lock in a very nice spot where Kofi came off the top rope with a reverse cross body.

Bryan did an over the top celebration after the match, standing on the barrier and on the announce table kept going “YES!!!!”. Bryan winning clean against Kofi this week and Cody last week establishes the heel “IM THE CHAMP AND IM GREAT” character. Bryan is doing a great job of being the cocky. The fact the announce team is treating Danielson like he got lucky really builds the to the heat.

Rick Ross Attends TNA Genesis & Taunts Wrestler (Video)

Rick Ross was at Sunday night’s TNA Genesis pay-per-view. The Bawse was shown on camera before the start of the 4-Way Elimination match for the X-Division Title Kid Kash vs. Zema Ion vs. Jesse Sorrensen vs. Austin Aries.

Ricky Rozay taunted X-Division wrestler Zema Ion. I can see Ross playing a Jimmy Hart type heel. The Mouth of the South of Miami he can do his trademarked Rick Ross Grunt before he starts his promos.

Kevin Nash Challenge’s The Ultimate Warrior to an MMA Fight

Old man beef is alive and well in the world of professional wrestling. Kevin Nash has challenged Ultimate Warrior to a fight. Nash tweeted the Warrior, issuing a challenge to a 3-round MMA fight with $100,000 on the line.

When asked by a fan why Warrior doesn’t dye his hair and have another run in WWE like Kevin Nash, Warrior replied “I’m not a dickhead who thrives on stealing the limelight from young guys.”

Kevin Nash continued his 140 character belittlement. Nash challenged Warrior to a MMA style fight the day before WrestleMania.

Not to be out done by Kevin Nash, Warrior responded via his Youtube page.

Whether or not or both Nash and Warrior have buried, destroyed or held down other wrestlers is up for debate. I do remember Warrior no-selling the pedigree at WrestleMania 12 but the Warrior didnt have feuds with the Champion when he returned in 1996.

I think rumors of that are over blown by the few people effected by Nash. I do think Kevin Nash was used wrong when he came back and cost CM Punk his first WWE championship. Punk and Nash’s cadences are vastly different. Nash is too big and is used to WWF style promos and WWF bodies. Somebody should have knew it would fail like it did. from jump make Nash feud with Cena…make Nash punks bodyguard or something but don’t put somebody too big and too old school with someone like punk who’s smaller and new school. It would have made a lot more sense than Nash coming back to make sure the company keeps the belt in house because his pal is in office.

If you wanna talk the name test like who would recognize the name more its Warrior. But it was a flash 3 years and gone. If Warrior came back, the TV would be white hot for a month, until you ask him to wrestle or the comeback shock wears off.

Nash would give you more over a longer stretch like he can be in more programs, help backstage stuff like that, Warrior you get a week buildup, the hot comeback, 2 weeks to see what he actually does and the last week of the late bloomers and people to jump off the wagon.

At the end of the day this is about one guy who doesn’t know when to retire and the other who never really liked the wrestling business even when he was in wrestling. Warrior is money hungry and Nash can blow out his quads sitting on a toilet squeezing out a turd.

Chris Jericho trolled the shit out of the WWE

If you thought Anyone but Chris Jericho would return yesterday ex this tab out now. Jericho saying the mystery man was Brock was a red herring. With all these cryptic videos the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community) knew these promos were Jericho related.

I can not tell a lie, I’m kinda bored with Jericho’s come backs. Reinvention is always a good thing. Jericho’s character’s have never stale thats for sure, I think thats why were all a bit like what the fuck was that on Monday Night Raw.

We’re all use to Jericho’s grand return which leads to the massive crowd pop, wordie promo and crowd change. Yet this time it was a bit different. Jericho was slapping fives and pandering the crowd. He went into the ring grabbed the mic said nothing and left. At first I quite upset I thought the celebration was going on to long, then I re watch his return upon second viewing, I realized the sarcasm of all.

Jericho was building heat. Clearly Jericho will be a heel and this particular return was mocking the WWE “universe” for its embrace of CM Punk. Jericho’s new character seems like a self centered, Hollywood diva. He’s playing a different heel maybe the egomaniac cant have someone else calling them selves “best in the world”.

Many fans on Twitter had a mix reaction for Jericho’s return. Some thought It was brilliant and others thought total let-down. It was neither. By saying nothing he did what he had to do create heat.

The crowd pop’d when he first came out and boo’d when he exited the arena. There’s going to be a steady build to this in weeks to come. All roads to Punk/Jericho at WrestleMania. I predict Jericho will win the rumble and then choose to face CM Punk at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.

The one issue I had with his return was the promos had nothing in common with the actual return. What did the girl in the promos have to do with his return? I need to know the “she that holds the mystery of your rebirth” bullshit. Maybe the mysterious girl is a metaphor for CM Punk? Hopefully this isn’t a work and were lead down the Positively Page route.

The Briscoe Brothers Are Everything That Is Right About Pro Wrestling

The Briscoe’s might be right about the WWE but the WWE from 2 years ago is different from how it is now. I really want WWE to have a serious tag division. Some say tags are dead and probably done for the forseeable future. I like to believe the landscape might be changing, with Punk and Daniel Bryan are world champions.

I still want to know what the true meaning of the “cosmetically pleasing” means WWE hired Brodus Clay..Think about that one.

The Briscoe Brothers keep it hood. This might be the first time I have ever seen a wrestler with mouth full of chew not look country. BTW The Briscoe’s won their 7th ROH World Tag Team Championship last night.

Gift’s That Dont Suck For Christmas: WWE Official Slammy Award Replica

Nothing says I thought of you like a Slammy Award. For years I wanted a Slammy Award I still do, maybe one day I will get hired by the WWE and share my genius with the world. If the person your shopping for is a HUGE wrestling fan (who isnt really) than this is the gift for them.

This replica WWE Slammy Award is actual size and molded directly from the actual Slammy. It measures over 14 inches tall and weights an unbelievable 6 1/2 pounds. Comes in a WWE logo black box. If you think $300.000 is a bit much, think again. WWE replica belts start at this price.

Props to Khal

Watch CM Punk & Other WWE Superstars Skydive

This was all part of the WWE Tribute to the troops week. Watch CM Punk, Alberto Del Rio, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes and Eve Torres skydive with the Golden Knights. Im real jealous that the Parachutist gets to be very close to Eve and Eve’s butt.

I have a question if you join the Army as a parachutist what do you do for your entire time in the service? Do you go to competitions and show off America’s parachuting skills?
