AJ meets AJ

The Miami Herald reports that AJ Styles met AJ Pierzynski Thursday night in an in-ring brawl

World series champion catcher A.J. Pierzynski of the Chicago White Sox found himself in the middle of a brawl Tuesday, Nov. 29 in Orlando, Fla., when he attended a TV taping for TNA Wrestling’s iMPACT!, which airs every Saturday night on SPIKE-TV (11 p.m. EST).

Pierzynski, a longtime pro wrestling fan, was there to present White Sox memorabilia including numerous team-signed items to The Phenomenal A.J. Styles, Chris Sabin and Sonjay Dutt — three of the top wrestlers of TNA’s electrifying, death-defying X-Division, a group of amazingly-talented wrestlers who have no fear, no limit and no boundaries.

During the presentation, the cocky Simon Diamond and his Diamonds in the Rough entourage of David Young and Elix Skipper interrupted the proceedings.

Dale Torborg, one of the White Sox’ strength and conditioning coaches and a former pro wrestler (WCW’s Demon), also was present, along with pro wrestling Hall of Famer Bobby The Brain Heenan.

Torborg, a former Florida Marlins conditioning coach, is the son of former major league player/coach/manager Jeff Torborg, now a broadcaster for FOX-TV.

The highlights from Pierzynski’s TNA Wrestling appearance will air 10 p.m. EST Thursday, Dec. 8, during a one-hour prime-time iMPACT! wrestling show on SPIKE-TV.

Plus, Pierzynski will manage Sabin, Dutt and Torborg against Diamond, Young and Skipper in a live pay-per-view match on Sunday, Dec. 11 in Orlando. Fellow Major League Baseball players are expected to be in attendance to support Pierzynski.

During the White Sox 2005 playoff run, ESPN and numerous other media outlets referred to Pierzynski as, The Phenomenal A.J. Pierzynski, borrowing the nickname from Styles, TNA’s X-Division champ.

Other athletes and celebrities including race car driver Hermie Sadler, ultimate fighters Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock and country music star Toby Keith have been involved in TNA matches in the past.

WWE Superstar Eddie Guerrero passed away Sunday morning in his hotel room in Minneapolis.

The cause of death is unknown but some sources are sighting a possible heart failure.

He recently celebrated his 4th year of being clean and sober from substance abuse and was proud of his new-born faith in Christ.

He will be missed.

He made an impact on those around him and it’s interesting to note that WWE CEO Vince McMahon made sure to point out Eddie’s recent acceptance of Jesus in a press conference regarding his death.

What a show…

Albert the Ref

Well the 2005 CWF Year has come to a close. We wrapped up our year with a great show in Rockwall, Texas Saturday night.

I would say it may have been one of the funnest shows of the year. No one expected the outcome in the final match.

I believe we had two decisions Saturday night, which is always a blessing and the reason we do what we do.

So for those who missed it, here’s a recap of the show (if you were there, feel free to leave your comments below):

Jesus Freak Rob Vaughn def Apocolypse for the CWF Heavyweight Title
Son of Thunder def Michael Malick
Phillip “The Bishop” Barron gave his testimony
Yours truly interviewed CWF Lightweight Champion Seven
Shiloh def. Chris Idol
Rob Vaughn called for a Battle Royal – Order of elemination: Michael Malick, Son of Thunder, Shiloh, Jesus Freak and then….
Seven came out as a late entrant. He dumped both Apoc and Chris Idol over the ropes….
Then he revealed his secret identity – Albert the Ref!

Oh man – what a finish! No one expected that! I don’t even think Apoc and Chris Idol did. I know I didn’t. Amazing.

And thanks to the guys in the back on the rib with my entrance music. Somehow I ended coming out to Michael Jackson – what’s up wit dat?

So that’s it. Our last show for the year is done and we’re making plans for next year. So be sure to keep us in your prayers. Thanks!

This guy voted for Pedro..

“Just tell them if they vote for Pedro – all their wildest dreams will come true.”

A UT student got the chance to play onstage with U2 in Dallas Saturday night. Lucky.

Playing quarterback for your favorite team. Rocking out with your favorite band. These are the dreams that fill a teenage boy’s heart.
Sunjay Devarajan, 19, traded sunglasses with Bono after joining U2 on guitar Saturday.
Of course, most boys don’t think they’ll ever actually realize those fantasies. But as 19-year-old Sunjay Devarajan strapped on a guitar next to Bono, The Edge and the rest of U2 on Saturday night in front of 20,000 screaming fans at American Airlines Center, his teen dream took life right before his eyes.
“This is like a Make-a-Wish Foundation kind of dream,” said Arlington native Sunjay, a day after Bono plucked him from the crowd to play the band’s “Angel of Harlem.” “I’m just so thrilled that they gave me that opportunity. That they were adventurous enough to actually pick somebody that they had no idea who he was from the audience and have him play guitar.”

DJ’s: Cuttin’ Up C-Span

DJ RX pokes fun at Bush and other politicians with his mashups.

RX combed through videotapes to build the bogus phrases he needed to have the president “sing” songs like U2’s antiwar anthem “Sunday Bloody Sunday.”
