WWE HOF stars talk

Thanks to Thad and ProWrestling.net for the following recap of Sgt. Slaughter, Ted DiBiase Sr. and Koko B. Ware on last night's episode of Tosh.0:


Just thought I'd recap what went down on Tosh.0 while you suffered through NXT. Sgt. Slaughter was the only advertised person, but it turned out to be so much more. The guy was getting the Web Redemption for crying at a "Starcade Reunion" Show/Questionnaire at the Coliseum in South Carolina. Daniel took a few jabs at the stereotypes of wrestling fans. We don't know it's not real, it's a bunch of sweaty gay guys rolling over each other and steroids. He took a shot at Ric Flair on that one. Typical stuff.



Although he said if any one thinks it's fake to dig up Owen Hart and ask him. I'm sure some won't like that. He came out dressed like the Ultimate Warrior and ran the ropes about 50 times. While he was doing the interview, he clowned around a bit and even did the rope shake at one point. He even slapped on a Figure Four. Good stuff. His redemption was presenting an award to a former wrestler. Here's were it gets weird. It was a trophy called "The Golden Singlet." They had Tosh's Pit instead of Piper's Pit. The Piper was crossed out. Tosh was dressed like Piper, bagpipes included.



They gave the award to Koko B. Ware. He accepted and Ted DiBiase Sr. came out and they fought over it. DiBiase threw it down and broke it, which led to a brawl between the two. The ended up in the ring and Tosh tried to interfere, but Slaughter clotheslined him out of nowhere. Tosh got a tag to the guy getting the redemption and was able to give the award back to Koko B. Ware. I've always been a fan of the show. Really funny guy. He's a fan of wrestling and said he missed the old WWF and told the current WWF (World Wildlife Fund) to go suck it.



Tosh called out Arn Anderson too, which he did a lot of during season one. It's season three and he still wants his match. Too Cold Scorpio was in the first season giving a guy with a failed backflip a web redemption. It's worth it to catch a replay or go to Comedy Central and at least watch that part of the show. The guy getting the web redemption would be from the south, of course, making us all look bad. Really good show tonight.

WWE's Ted DiBiase talks about life on the road and more!!!

RAW Superstar Ted DiBiase spoke with Valley24.com this weekend to promote the WWE live event on January 23rd in Youngstown, Ohio. Here are some highlights:




How often are you on the road?



Oh my gosh. I think the correct answer is a minimum of 257 days a year and I believe it's actually really more than that. It's most of the time.



Are there any more films [for you] planned right now?



Nothing right now. So, so, so busy. We do a branch of WWE Studios and I think they just filmed several movies this year. Randy Orton and John Cena made movies, The Edge and Big Show - but none of those films were as good as my movie. [Laugh] Mine was far superior, especially to John Cena who filmed the first "Marine." Mine was far better. Make sure you get that in there. [Laugh.]



Is there any chance we could see your brother on “NXT” at some point? It's the right area, the right level. I thought maybe there's a chance we'd see your brother on there.



You know, there's a possibility. That's actually out of my control. It very well could happen. If you see him there, you'll see him on RAW or Smackdown but we'll definitely see him soon, eventually, I would predict.



He's a talented and he's dying to get up here. He's ready.



I do want to get into the industry as far as injuries. I just wonder how you keep up with injuries.



I have a personal trainer and the way he constructs my workouts are to help prevent injuries, but they do still happen. What we do is certainly well-known that it's entertainment, but it's not ballet. We always take the opportunity when we can to say, 'Kids, don't try this at home. We're trained professionals. We trained for a long time before we started doing this.'



But it happens. People get hurt. If it's bad enough, usually, if you need to have surgery, you're off. If it's something you can work through, you usually just grit your teeth, tape it up real tight and try to go 'cause the show must go on.



WWE does an excellent job especially in the area of head injuries, as far as concussions. I know I was actually slapped in the face one night and it knocked me out. I had a mild concussion and they would not let me wrestle for three weeks to a month. I did other things in the show, but they wouldn't let me perform in the ring. That's the thing, as a company, we take very serious now. We go through a lot of steps, a lot of tests and stuff and we have our doctors who are certified to handle us and make the call.



We're taken care of.
