The Gator Pit #1

Brought to you by Nick Gator

I'm hoping this will be the start of a weekly thing where I come on and do my best Larry King impression, giving my musings on wrestling and anything else that strikes my fancy. If you like what I have to say then you should be following me on Twitter.

* I know many of us were hoping for the return to WWE of our favorite Chicago son, a guy who has held world titles and is beloved across the world. Unfortunately, Colt Cabana stayed home Monday night.

* Speaking of this past Raw, it was one of the better ones in recent memory. The "hijack" movement has led to Twitter accounts for upcoming venues. If that's what it takes to get excellent shows every Monday, then by all means keep it up.

* Also, the person who brought the "Cena Fears Freight Train" sign has won the game of life.

* Harley Race used to carry a gun in his bag. Today, wrestlers carry an extra Playstation controller.

* I love food with heat to it but I do not like food that's hot for the sake of being hot. Unless you're in a contest to win a t-shirt or something even nicer, I don't see the point.

* Watched WrestleMania 3 on the WWE Network. Why does Hulk Hogan think he can piledrive Andre The Giant? WHY? Also, why does the babyface try to piledrive the bad guy right onto the cement floor? Like John Cena today, Hogan did some things that are not exactly white-hat good.

* With NXT running on Thursdays, wrestling fans finally have something they can enjoy watching that night of the week.

* I am hoping for additional NXT arrivals to the WWE main roster as much as the next guy but you can't deplete the developmental talent pool. Continue bringing in new folks and those who are talented enough will not be forgotten.

* Leo might have gotten robbed at the Oscars but I think his harem of models will cheer him up. Just conjecture on my part.

* The best wrestling movie of all time? Body Slam starring Dirk Benedict and Roddy Piper. Take that Mickey Rourke. 

* Bill Apter popping up on the WWE Network makes me smile. 

* I love a backslide. The next person who wins an important match with a backslide becomes my new favorite wrestler of all time.

* What's the motivation for a neck tattoo? I asked someone earlier but he snarled and told me to stay down whatever that means.

That's all I can muster this week. You're out of touch, I'm out of time.
