Congress recently released a report on steroid use in wrestling, and Time magazine has some details. Including this interview with Stephanie McMahon:
When someone walks out on that stage, they either connect with the people or they don't. If you walk out on stage and nobody cares and you don't have any presence, you are never going to be a main-event guy. But if you walk out and you make the people notice you, you can be a main-event guy. You really don't even have to be a good wrestler. Hulk Hogan was a terrible wrestler, and he still is.Is that a real interview, or setup for a Wrestlemania angle? Stephanie sure has guts, brother.
Speaking of wrestling- "The Wrestler" is a great, great movie. I put it in the bottom half of the top ten for the year, and really can't decide between Mickey Roarke and Sean Penn for Best Actor. My favorite touch in the movie was probably that the Iron Sheik character ("The Ayatollah") wasn't Iranian or Middle Eastern at all, but rather an American black guy.
