Great article by Heyman. Stratus is dearly missed by WWE fans, but I love to see people doing what they want in life and enjoying it. All the best to Trish!

Ken Shamrock needs to give it up and come back to WWE.
He was gold on the mic.

Poor Shamrock like a boxer that won't quit - stiff!

As far as the Kevin situation, he's not going anywhere, TNA is putting on a negotiation show for the rest of the roster.
Listing Ken as a former WWE star instead of an MMA star is silly, don't feel like you guys have to justify the news item. I have met Mr. Shamrock a few times, he is as big of an a$$ as he comes across on screen. If he were a wrestler, he'd be 'living his gimmick'. That being said, it would thrill me to no end to see him pull of a victory over Ferguson.

Kimbo Slice is a F'N joke. I hope shamrock destroys him

"Listing Ken as a former WWE star instead of an MMA star is silly"
They're only saying that because it's a news item in the WRESTLING section.
Posted By: Donovan Carmichael (Guest) on September 29, 2008 at 01:39 PM
Poor, poor Kenny. I'm going to feel terrible seing him get destroyed so utterly.

How many robes do you think Flair still has? And how much do you think rich wrestling geeks would pay for those? I don't think Flair needs to be worry about money if only because of the $$'s he could generate with those things.

I keep forgetting about EliteXC. They need to put commercials on other channels to. I don't even watch CBS

Trish should have continued being a sexy "Diva" rather than a "woman wrestler". She was so hot and had the best body but unfortunetely she didn't capitilize on it as much as she should have. Why would you not utilize your best asset?? Bad choice. She could have been a real mainstream pop-culture hottie, a multi-millionaire, bigger than pam anderson! But intstead as far as the mainstream is concerned its trish-who? What a waste.

Shamrock will rock Kimbo.

Doesn't Heyman look liek Ron Jeremy?
Posted By: Guest#2747 (Guest) on September 29, 2008 at 04:52 PM
I dunno bout you guys, but I fully expect Shamrock to get the ankle lock on Kimbo. It WILL happen.

Posted By: andy (Guest) on September 30, 2008 at 10:08 AM
Shamrock is well past his prime, no question, but I still expect him to beat Slice.
