Nice article....

 

Benjamin seems like a very good person to hang out with...

Former wrestler Greg Gagne, son of Hall of Famer Verne, told me that Cena had asked him for his advice about the crowd, which was as hostile toward him as any I've seen against an athlete. "Sell," Gagne said. "Just sell and they'll turn. But that's Chicago for you. They're always hot and they always cheer for the heel."

See Cena, that's why you don't take advice from Greg fucking Gagne.

Cept he's right. Chicago LOVES a heel. But the only way they would have liked Cena is if he had a time machine and was able to go back and give them a Cubs World Series. And even then they might have still booed him.

Well it was the city of Chicago that pratically turned Steve Austin face at WM13.

That was a really good read. Thanks for posting the link.

The thing is though, the whole Austin/Bret double turn wasn't so much due to the crowd...it was due to the booking.

 

I don't think Chicago hates all faces and cheers for heels. The fans only boo the faces that they don't have much respect for. You know, like Greg Gagne or Cena.

Or Rey Mysterio?

Victoria owns a place called Fat Tony's Pizzaria?

 

Hmm...did she buy it from Tony Shiavonne?

 

And..the thing about Hogan's blender is hilarious.

[MarvinisaLunatic]

Yay for double posts.

At the Mall of America i saw Benjamin walk into a gamestop and buy a game.

 

I shook his hand and left him alone while 2 mark kids ran up and harrased him to no end, he looked pissed.

"WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA!"

Hogan's biggest news, however, is his latest business venture. "Brother, I'm getting ready to knock out George Foreman's ass," he said. "I'm getting to launch Hulk Hogan's Ultimate Grill next month and it's going to be poetic justice. True story. About 10 years ago, my agent Henry Holmes calls me up and leaves a message that he wanted to talk to me and George about a grill and a blender. I get home late and call Henry to see what was up with this grill and blender. By this time George had already agreed to do the grill, leaving me with the blender and the rest is history -- 400 million bucks later, George is sitting pretty and I've got this blender. The truth is I made about 400 grand off it, but it was this little machine where you put eights ounces of protein and water and it blended and then after a couple times it would take a fart and would never work again."

 

True? Work? Love ya Hulk!

After Cena finally won, a few guys in the back gave golf claps and were shocked at how loudly Cena was getting booed. "They can pump up that music as loud as they want," said one wrestler. "But you can't hide those boos. There's no mix in that reaction."
