Hooped Up

The concept of Ricky Rubio as a backyard wrestler is funny in any language under the stars.

Ooh yeah! As part of their WWF/WWE pack (best idea ever), Jordan Brand is releasing a series of Air Jordan Aero Flight shoes paying tribute to wrestling royalty of the past. Since I love this idea, don’t be surprised if I eventually show you the entire collection, but first up is the Randy “Macho Man” Savage edition cause he was one of my favourites of all-time.

With a White/Challenge Red – Court Purple – Atomic Green colorway patterned after a costume Macho Man wore. If you cop these kicks you’ll probably be doing flying elbow drop dunks off the top turn buckle in no time.Elizabeth would love these joints.

When LeBron James joined Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. It was exactly like the time when Hulk Hogan joined (The Outsiders) Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to form the nWo to wrestling fans. But, for those of you uncultured with this bit of fine wrestling history. This video breaks down that comparison clear enough for a blind man to see it.

On an official awesome scale made by Awesome Labs Ltd. (of course), this video would be detained at any border due to raw awesomeness!

Back in the good ole days of the formerly named WWF when 90% of the wrestlers you followed were still alive. The Legion of Doom (who are still kickin’) was the illest tag team in the squared circle and nobody messed with them. So it’s only fitting that K1X created a dope tee calling LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal the L.O.D of the NBA cause nobody wants to bang with them either.

Lets see if the Lakers play the role of the Demolition (including Crush) when they visiting the Cavaliers tonight.

Rasheed Wallace being fined by the NBA is about as surprising as “The Rock” making a bad movie. Seriously dude, we wanna see more peoples elbow into someones chest and less of you in terrible PG situations. So it’s no shocker that Sheed got choke slammed with a $35K fine for criticizing refs, after the Celtics took an L against the visiting Mavericks on Monday 99-90.

“[The officials] don’t like tough defense on [Dirk Nowitzki], so, of course, I get a whole lot of [expletive] calls,” Wallace said after Monday’s game in which foul trouble limited his minutes. “That’s how the story goes, I’m not worried about it. We’ll see them again.”

Yes Stu Jackson Sheed can certainly smell what your cooking, too bad to he likes it.

Mark Cuban hosting WWE Monday Night RAW next week is hardly a side show, because practically everything this dude does is a side show. Him getting in the squared circle with Cody Rhodes on the other hand, would be the Zenith of cool as far as NBA owners go.

Last year, Mark Cuban feuded with Kenyon Martin’s mom. Next up: Dusty Rhodes’ son? The Mavericks’ owner, who will host World Wrestling Entertainment’s RAW on Monday at American Airlines center, shrugged off a challenge by up-and-coming WWE star Cody Rhodes on Thursday. Rhodes is the son of Austin-born Virgil Runnels, better known as WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Dusty “The American Dream” Rhodes.

All I know is If somehow Dusty “”The Bull of the Woods”" Rhodes makes an appearance and drops a Bionic elbow on Cuban. I’ll be in wrastlin’ heaven.

Bumped from the Pepsi Center because of the Denver Nuggets playoff run, World Wrestling Entertainment will hold “Monday Night Raw” in Los Angeles at the Staples Center on Memorial Day.

The event was originally slated for the Pepsi Center in Denver, but the venue is now scheduled to host Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fans with tickets to the Pepsi Center show can get a refund through Ticketmaster or exchange them for tickets to a new show set for Aug. 7 at the Denver Coliseum, said WWE chairman Vince McMahon.

More than 10,000 tickets were sold for the Pepsi Center event.
