Chris Jericho Eliminated From Dancing With the Stars

Tuesday April 26, 2011

Chris Jericho has been eliminated from Dancing With the Stars. For those of you that might think Chris will immediately be returning to the ring, I am going to have to give you some disappointing news. Fozzy will be touring Europe in June and July. The highlight for Chris and the band has to be Sonisphere 2011 where they will be on the same bill as "The Big 4". Chris was very excited about that gig when he spoke to Eddie Trunk a few weeks ago on That Metal Show.

The latest movie from Steve Austin hit store shelves earlier today. Knockout features Steve summoning his inner Mr. Miyagi as he mentors a kid being picked on by the boxing bullies at his school. Sadly, Steve's training for the kid doesn't involve tossing him beer cans which later turns out to be the motion for some special kind of knockout punch. To find out more about this film, click here to read my review of the film.

WWE 2011 Draft Recap and Analysis

Tuesday April 26, 2011

Over the past two days, WWE held their annual draft. In total, there were 30 draft picks which resulted in 28 wrestlers changing brands. Going into the draft, the biggest need for the company was to move a top level fan favorite to SmackDown to replace that glaring hole which was caused by Edge's retirement.

Draft Picks on Monday Night
  1. John Cena (SmackDown) - The moving of the top star in the company from RAW to SmackDown would have caused a seismic shift in the company. This move was done early in the show to get people talking and possibly drive up the ratings for the rest of the program. Unfortunately, John's tenure on SmackDown was really short as Monday Night RAW ended with him being drafted back to RAW.
