It's been a shocking past week here in Calgary. Last Saturday night, the wrestling world lost another superstar. Davey Boy Smith passed away while he was on vacation.
In 1995 at Stu Hart's 80th Birthday wrestling show, I had a quick conversation with Davey Boy, and in that 5 or 10 minutes, Davey became the one that helped me make up my mind on becoming a Pro Wrestler. I clearly remember him telling me that I should give it a try, since he thought I had the right look. I saw Davey only a couple weeks ago at Stu's 87th birthday show, and I thought he looked fantastic, he was in great shape, and looked as healthy as I have ever seen him, which is what makes it all that much more suprising.
I have been noticing some bad press re-emerging about Davey. I can't figure out why people take a tragic moment and try to exploit it for their own gains. Let's not forget how many times we were all entertained by The British Bulldog. Maybe we can let his personal life now rest with him
My thoughts are with the Smith & Hart families.
I was going to throw a few pictures of the British Bulldog up on this week's commentary, but I am have an extremely difficult time trying to find some pictures on the net (which is why the Juggerstories is 2 days late). So, as I find them I will post a few tribute pictures of Davey in my commentaries. None for this week, but hopefully I will come across something in the next few days. If anyone has some good ones, feel free to e-mail them to me at bigjuggernauto@aol.com and I will be happy to put them up.
I just watched Celebrity Boxing 2, and I am very disapointed. I had a choice to either go see the new Star Wars movie, or hang out and watch Celebrity boxing. I wish I went and saw Star Wars. I was excited about the 400+ pound William "Refrigerator" Perry vs. the 7'7" Manute Bol, but it turned out to be the worst fight of the night. I should have taken Allison Danger's advice and "not watched that crap". It was mildly amusing watching Darva Conger beat up Olga Korbet and I was a bit pissed that Screech held back on Horshack, but not as much as watching Joey Buttafuco win after cheating for 3 rounds. Don't get me wrong, I am FAR from a fan of Chyna (I read her book in 2 hours 17 minutes flat...it sucked) but every time Joey was getting hit, he would literally throw Chyna to the mat. Last time I looked, that was illegal in boxing, and penalty poins were deducted, but I guess not for Celebrity boxing.
This will bring me to a top 10 for this week. If I were the booker for Celebrity Boxing, things would be way better, so on that note, here we have the.......
Top 10 Juggernaut booked Celebrity Boxing Matches (This is just me using my imagination, so some of these may not physically be possible)
10. Mr. T vs. Sylvester Stallone
I always wondered what would actually happen in this fight if it were not just in Rocky III.
9. Pee Wee Herman vs. Carrot Top
May possibly be the most pathetic fight ever!! (Don't let Pee Wee's jail term fool you, it doesn;t mean he's tough)
8. David Blaine vs. David Coperfield There would be all kinds of tricks and illusions, imagine the levatating right cross that Blaine could throw.
7. Vince McMahon vs. Bret "The Hitman" Hart
I would definitaly want a huge cut of the gate, because this would be money in the bank.
6. Joe C. vs. Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf
I realize that they are both dead, but imagine how great that fight could have been!!!
5. Danny Devito vs. Joe Pesci
Just picture it!!!
4. Sammy Hagar vs. David Lee Roth
Another one that is money in the bank!!
3. Michael Keaton vs. Toby McGuire
Batman vs. Spiderman, then we will finally know who's tougher.
2. Stephen Hawkins vs. Christopher Reeves
Two guys in wheelchairs that can move nothing but their heads, I know it's pretty sick and twisted and maybe a little cruel, but imagine the sickening sound of metal on metal.
1. Gary Coleman vs. Webster
To find out who the true king of adults that look like kids actually is!!
Well I think that will be about enough for this week, I am just not in the mood for much more typing today, I will leave you with this picture of the week...........The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith!
Until next time, Chicks did scars, check out Allison Danger facelifted website (www.allisondanger.com), R.I.P. Davey Boy, and see you all next week.
