Great stuff as always Bruce. Your take on steroids is controversial, yet makes sense. Canseco has gone on record to say, if one knows their body well and knows the effects of steroids, it'll only benefit the person.
You shouldn't hate on hip-hop so much.. the mainstream stuff is garbage, but if you check out guys like Common and Talib Kweli, you get a good song with a great message to boot.
Also, on the 25 minute matches.. I enjoy them heaps. If you mix the fast paced 8 minute matches with the slower, more story driven matches, you'll have a happy wrestling audience, but thats just my take. I also believe that a top tier wrestler should be able to do both of these types of matches (i.e. Stone Cold in his prime).
Thats just my take on everything..once again, great read as always..Keep it up.
I do agree that a "top guy" should be able to go 25 minutes, but when it was done with guys like Austin, Rock, and even Trips, its always "built up". You wouldnt see Triple H go 25 minutes his first time against someone the likes of a Rob Conway, or Shelton Benjamin. Even though he put Shelton over twice, it was both times under 12 minutes. 25 minute matches have their place, but they must be built properly.
Never heard the underground Rap stuff you talk about, guess because I am not into it enough. I told Sedrick I would sacrafice 5 minutes of my life and listen to some Kanye West song he wants me to hear, but I havent done it yet. I will give my take on it once I do.
Canseco is the "juice doctor". He is a dumb motherfucker, and totally threw his boys under the bus, but he is a genious when it comes to bodybuilding and "hormones".
Good read, I agree 110% on your view on steroids, as well as most other drugs that dont turn people into thieves. Face it, a number of drugs, such as pot, steroids, mushrooms, lsd, and other similar drugs are only going to hurt the user, if they even do that. The war on drugs is a joke that is being lost, and has been being lost since it started. Fact is, there is too much money being made by the government with the war on drugs, which are predominantly victimless crimes. The jails are overcrowded due to it, taxpayers pay more for the prison care, and the police are worrying about a guy with a needle in his own ass or a joint in his mouth, instead of going after thieves, rapists, and murderers.
Thank you. The government needs to get their Priorities straight. They dont have to worry about juicers and stoners going out and molesting kids. The drugs are not an issue, and if the govt wanted to make a killing they would legalize it all and regulate and tax the hell outta the stuff.
And if they were to legalize it, and decriminalize much of the hard stuff, most of the theives would stop too, because many of them steal FOR the drugs.
Sounds easy to us, but when you have companies that make alcohol and prescription medicine dumping huge money into the coffers of the politicians, nothing is going to change soon.
Bruce, I think you've taken one too many chair shots or something because there is no way that Winky Wright is beating Felix Trinidad on May 14. Trinidad KOs Winky in round 7.
And yeah, I'm a big Trinidad fan. I shed a tear or two when he lost to Bernard Hopkins in 2001. I totally forgot that Wright was from St. Pete, so now I'm glad I have someone to talk shit to building up to the match.
It sucks to hear about Tenderfoot too. Hope everything works out for him.
Will, you are outta your fucking mind man. Winky is the MAN. I will say this, I do see this fight going the distance, but Winky is just so long and Linky (you see what I did there, I rhymed Linky and Winky). I think Winky will keep him back with the jab, and will win unanimously 116-111 ( 8 rounds to 4, Winky knocks him down once for a 10-8 round). I expect a great fight though.
So you go with your Puerto Rican (hey I'm Puerto Rican too, but kayfabe, I dont want people to know), and I will go with my Hometown Hero. This will be fun to watch and debate over.
