Finally, Chris fron Toronto has come back to the LAW! Man I wish the Rock would come back to wrestling. There are so many guys now he would have great matches with that he's never faced like Randy Orton, John Cena and Batista to name a few.

Also I want to rant a little bit about a you tube video I watched last night with the Honky Tonk Man. Honky Tonk Man, I hope you read this you sorry piece of shit, drunken Elvis wannabe. He made a comment that all wrestling fans live in trailer parks, live week to week and are on welfare. First of all, I have been a wrestling fan for 25 years and I have a great job and I could probably hire you to shine my fucking boots you has been asshole. Second, where the hell do you get off talking shit about people living in trailer parks when you look like king fucking trailer trash. With your fat out of shape body from being an alcoholic all these years and balding head with a pony tail. Yeah, I saw you being a damn crybaby, crying your freaking eyes out saying that Dusty Rhodes hurt you being he was a stiff worker. Dusty Rhodes may be a fat back stabbing slob but you look just like Elvis right before he died. That is out of shape, fat and bloaded and worn out from all the years of booze and drugs.

You are an idiot. Why would you EVER post something like that on a LAW messageboard? Im far from being a fan of his performance, but I would definitely POP for a Shake-Rattle-N-Roll on you 1..2..3 Whether you like it or not, he's going over.

I've been heavily for the removal of Vince Russo from pro wrestling but after seeing that Honky Tonk Man clip, the guy is nothing but a drunken bum. I used to be a fan of his until now. He wasn't just saying that comment to gain heat. He was saying it because he actually thinks it's true and he's nothing but a drunk, who's been drinking out of the same Gatorade bottle in every You Tube clip he's in.

Other than cm punk, tell me what other wrestler doesn't drink, come on KOTM, all of them hit the bar after there wrestling match and have a cold one or two... Some of these wrestlers only got this wrestling jobs and live paycheck after paycheck, they had a good string of great paychecks but they didn't invest there money wisely and now they are past their prime and they are looking for work where they can get it. Just look at the doc. BEYOND THE MAT and see how bad Jake the snake Roberts look, and have a little respect for the legends of the ring that entertained us over the years! peace out until another flying headbut comes our wat!!!
