As I was watching Kimbo Slice virtually rip a guy’s ear off this weekend, it dawned on me that he has a striking resemblance to one of my all-time favorite wrestlers: The Junkyard dog.

They may not look exactly the same but come on. Kimbo moved his way up through internet backyard fighting. The guy fought anywhere, anytime in pretty strange conditions. It’s just a JYD vibe.

The Junkyard Dog’s real name was Sylvester Ritter. Unofrtunately Ritter passed away in 1998 (in a car crash, not steroids) but it would have been amazing if this guy came out and managed Kimbo Slice posing as his father.

I think the only fair thing to do would be to have Kimbo Slice start wearing a giant chain around his neck, a shirt immortalizing the JYD, and his new walk out song to be “Another One Bites the Dust.”

First of all, I had no idea that Roddy Piper was still alive. Secondly, isn’t it strange how pro wrestlers do one of two things in their careers?

They either die, or they wrestle until they’re at least 75 years old. In any event, this clip is pretty entertaining and it makes me long for the days where I was fully convinced wrestling was real.

Just a few names to jog your memory: Superfly Snuka, Jake the Snake, Koko B. Ware, The Dragon Steamboat, Macho Man. This list can go on forever, but I long for these days to come back.

P.S. What the hell is Carlito’s Cabana? Come on guys. Nothing will ever compare to the Piper’s Pit. Nothing. They need more guys like Ivan Putski to come back.

For the same reason that women can sit back and completely be in a hypnotized trance when watching “Gossip Girl” or “The Hills,” us guys need a show that can basically turn our eyes to mush and let us be morons for an hour.

Enter “Chick Fight TV.” I recently stumbled across these pictures and stemming from the archives of G.L.O.W (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) I’m hoping that Chick Fight TV makes it into the mainstream.
