Hall of Fame
THE IRON SHEIK
Inducted by: Sgt. Slaughter
From: Tehran, Iran
Finishing Move: camel Clutch
Titles Held: WWE Championship, World Tag Team Championship
It is great to see The Iron Sheik get inducted. He won the title in 1983 and lost it to Hulk Hogan in 1984. This match is considered to be the match that launched Hulk Hogans career and put wrestling back in the mainstream. But many remember his epic battles of good vs. Evil against Sgt. Slaughter. And nobody could believe it when Sgt. Slaughter joined sides with The Iron Sheik. After tagging with Nikolia Volkoff and winning the tag titles The Iron Sheik had a few recurring roles with the WWE.
Good Pick
PAUL ORNDORFF
Inducted by: Bobby Heenan
From: Brandon, FL
Finishing Move: Pile Driver
Titles Held: WCW Television Championship, WCW Tag Team Championship
This is a very odd pick for the Hall of Fame. Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff spent the majority of his career in the WCW. Not to say he didn't have a good career. Its just a really odd pick. Although he did mainevent the first main event. He teamed with Rowdy Roddy Piper against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.
Odd Pick
BOB ORTON, JR
Inducted by: Randy Orton
From: Kansas City, KS
Finishing Move: Superplex
Titles Held: None
"Cowboy" Bob Orton a second generation wrestler will be inducted by his son, current rising WWE superstar, Randy Orton. Cowboy Bob is remembered for his patented cast he always wore. Orton also partaked in the mainevent at the first wreslemania. He was in Piper and Orndorff's corner. He was supposed to hit Piper with his cast, but missed and hit Orndorff instead. He was also in Pipers corner when he had a boxing match with Mr. T at Wrestlmania 2.
OK Pick
JIMMY HART
inducted by: Jerry "The King" Lawler
From: Memphis, TN
Finishing Move: None
Titles Held: None
"The Mouth From The South" is arguable the greatest manager of all time. With his signature blow horn in hand his wrestlers were often unstoppable. In the WWE he led many wrestlers to Intercontinental championship and Tag Titles. He hit the big time following Hulk Hogan to WCW. He was in Hulks corner when he captured the World Heavy Weight Championship. Jimmy Hart is professional wrestling. He wrestled a short time and is famous for tagging with Andy Kaufman to wrestle Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Great Pick
NIKOLAI VOLKOFF
Inducted by: Jim Ross
From: Moscow, Russia
Finishing Move:
Titles Held: World Tag Team Championship
Nikolai Volkoff, as well as The Iron Sheik, capitalized on Americas view of Russia and Iran. He was able to use his heritage to his advantage. He was a great heel. His trademark was having the audience rise while he sang the Russian National Anthem. It is single handedly the best heel move ever, and it has often been duplicated. Volkoff and The Sheik captured the World Tag Titles solidifying them as one of the most hated tag combos.
OK Pick
RODDY PIPER
Inducted by: Chris Jericho
From: Scotland
Finishing Move: Sleeperhold
Titles Held: Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper is probably the most hated villain of all time. In a class heavy in villains Piper is easily the most hated. Piper mainevented the first 2 Wrestlmania's, had a great rivalry with Hulk Hogan in the 80's, and is most known for Pipers Pit. A segment where Piper would interview superstars. At Wrestlmania 21 he will again host the Pipers Pit with special guest Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Great Pick
HULK HOGAN
inducted by: Sylvester Stallone
From: Venice Beach, CA
Finishing Move: Leg Drop
Titles Held: WWE Championship, World Tag Team Championship, WCW Championship
There is a reason he has earned the nickname "The Immortal." Hulk Hogan transcends time. This man has every right to wrestle till the day he dies. He made professional wrestling what it is today. A billion dollar industry. Everyone knows who Hulk Hogan is. Hulk Hogan is bigger than Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and any other superstar you want to name. There is to much to be said about him.
Best Pick They Possible Could Have Made
They will be joining Hall of Famers: Andre The Giant, Antonino Rocca, Arnold Skaaland, "Baron" Mikel Scicluna, "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd, Big John Studd, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Bobo Brazil, Buddy Rogers, Captain Lou Albano, Chief Jay Strongbow, "Classy" Freddie Blassy, don Muraco, George "The Animal" Steele, Gorilla Monsoon, Greg Valentine, Harley Race, Ivan Pulski, James Dudley, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Johnny & Jimmy Valiant, Johnny Rodz, Junkyard Dog, Killer Kowalski, Pat Patterson, Pedro Morales, Pete Rose, Sgt. Slaughter, Superstar Billy Graham, The Fabulous Moolah, The Grand Wizard, Tito Santana, and Vince McMahon, Sr.
So there it is the class of 2005. Let me know what you ladies and gents think. Is there anybody out there you would like to see added to this great list. I can think of many other deserving wrestling greats.

Good Times
So for all you wrestling fans out there (even you closet fans), who would make your day to see in that squared circle. Yes it was fun and memorable to watch the Rockers do their thing, but I would go crazy if Sting was ever to enter the WWE.

Memphis
Hopefully everyone out there is enjoying the madness. OU got it handed to them by Utah. But thats ok, I guess. Not like there is a whole I can do about it. The are a young club and I didn't see them getting past the Sweet 16. I picked OSU to win it all. I think they've got just as good a shot as anyone.
It looks like tomorrow we will all be back it again. So I'm gonna enjoy my Sunday and rest a little.

Extensor Digitorum Longus
Pledges suck like usual. Especially everybody else's pledges. I tell you what though anytime you need something done they appear. And thats really handy.
So there is a "new" social club on campus. AXE is apparently there call sign. I wonder if they realize how close that is to ass. And that is how I feel about the whole situation. Apparently their reasoning for starting up a club is they wanted a Christian Brotherhood. I am very disappointed in Senate because of how blind they are to the social club status on our campus. Having another club is not good for social clubs. Currently their are 5 male clubs on campus and only 2 of them are thriving. So lets throw another one in the mix and let that help kill out the rest. Half of the 10 guys, thats right I said to 10 to all of you in the know, where looking to pledge other clubs. My opinion is that they are giant pussies and didn't want to pledge, they just wanted a set of letters. So there you go, you got a problem with what I've said, "Bring It!"
Cause the Loondaddy ain't scared!!

Honorable Mentions
- The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiasi
- Harley Race
- Brett Hart
- Rowdy Roddy Pipper
- Jerry The King Lawler
- Chris Benoit
- Arn Anderson
- Chris Jericho
Now for a little dispute I have with Papa T. Ric Flair did 'borrow' somebody else's nickname. But it wasn't Nature Boy Kirby, it was Nature Boy Buddy Rogers. I did recognize Baron Von Raske. And as you can tell from my list one of the absolute all time greats in the wrestling business The King Harley Race. All of the guys you listed were local Mid South guys that wrestled for Harley Race.
As for Tysons list, I dug his top 4 and I can see Jericho making a top 10 list, but the rest come on. Up till about a year ago I would have probably put Goldberg on my list. What he did in WCW was awesome and I totally was into it. But since his very short stint in the WWE and his relatively short career I just don't think he is even in a top 25 anymore. But there is always the future and maybe he will make it back up on my list, cause he has amazing ability. But Randy Orton, the kid has only been wrestling for a couple of years and still hasn't shown he could carry the belt. They took it from him in a matter of months. Kevin Nash just hasn't had the career that he could have, because of injuries and going to WCW. Booker T showed his worth when he went to the WWE and has barely carried the US Title and he was the '5 time' WCW champion. Come on, seriously. Rey Mysterio is the sad one out of all of your pics. I have to admit that is a great pic. I still don't think he is top 10 of all time but he unfortunately will never be a Heavy Weight Champ. Just the Nature of the Beast.
Let the Controversy Begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Greatest
10. The Stiener Brothers
I know its a tag team, but they were great. The first time I was Scott Steiner do the frankensteiner I was hooked on the tag team. They held the WCW Tag Titles 5 times and the WWF Tag Titles 2.
9. Road Warriors/Legion of Doom
that's right another Tag Team. I promise this is the last one. I have been fortunate enough to see the Road Warriors live and in person. These guys just destroyed people. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh What A Rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. Mick Foley
Mick Foley made this list solely on the basis of Cactus Jack. I absolutely loved Cactus. His other personas where good and Mick Foley himself is great. But Cactus Jack was the man. Bang! Bang!
7. Triple H
Mr. Stephanie McMahon himself made my list. All kidding aside, There will be a day when this man is at the top of my list. 10 time Heavy Weight Champion. That's just ridicules. He is the game.
6. Stone Cold Steve Austin
In my opinion the savior of WWE. Wrestling was heading down an odd path before this man. And he had the coolest title belt ever. The true working mans wrestler. Flipping the bird and telling your boss off, who doesn't identify with that.
5. Undertaker
The deadman is very much alive. He's just as old as Hogan and all those other losers, but he moves like he's 30 years younger. I personally like the biker taker the best, but I will take him however I can get him.
4. Hulk Hogan
No, definitely not Hollywood. Hogan is arguably one of the top 2 wrestlers of all time. But this is my list and during Hogans hay day I was watching WCW. Hogan brought wrestling main stream. He made it entertainment and not wrestling. The business owes him everything, for what it is.
3. Ric Flair
The last gladiator. He is wrestling. Flair is the other "arguable one of the top 2 wrestlers of all time." He has helped keep the wrestling tradition alive. Jet flying, limousine riding, kiss stealing, wheeling dealing son of a gun. Whoooooo!
2. Shawn Michaels
The Show Stopper, 5 time World Heavy Weight Champion. It almost doesn't get any better than him. With a lot of first under his belt he earned the nickname the innovator by participating in these matches; First Ever Ladder Match, First Ever Hell in a Cell, First Ever Elimination Chamber, First Ever Grand Slam Champion, 95 1st to enter the Royal Rumble and win, First Ever Back to Back Royal Rumble wins (96 & 96), Wrestlemania XII 1 hour Iron Man Match.
1. Sting
My personal favorite of all time. I dig the "scare crow" Sting that has been all over the place the past 6 or 7 years. But nothing is better than the bleached blonde wild man. Sting has held the coveted NWA World Heavy Weight Title 1 time. The only other person on this list to have also held the title in it original capacity is Ric Flair. WCW World Heavy Weight Title 9 times.

So to make a long story short I'm gonna be posting a list of my top 10 wrestlers of all time and it will be great!

Back At It
So I spent the weekend getting over that horrible Tuesday, that will be forever known as "Black Tuesday." For those of you out there who are curious I spent some great quality time with the wife. We mostly worked on some of her school work. You know, the usual, lots of coloring and cutting out stuff. Good times.
Tonight was time spent well. Another one of my passions, besides Sooner Football/Football in General, I was able to enjoy this weekend is wrestling. That's right, you might know it as rasslin', but its just good old wrestling. I love the stuff and to tell you the truth, its real! I mean come on I know its planned out and all that crap. But the physicality 100% real. These guys night in and night out take their bodies to the limit. And tonight was New Years Revolution. Its the first pay-per view have gotten in a while and we were not disappointed. A great night, sure was.
BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

State of the Sooner Address
We must first bid farewell to one of the greatest Sooners to strap on the Crimson and Cream. Good luck and farewell Mr. White, it has been great. You brought the Sooner Nation a lot to be proud of; a Heisman Trophy, 2 undefeated regular seasons, 1 Big 12 Championship, 2 trips to the National Championship. All be it no National Title, but a lot to be proud of and thankful for.
We must also say good bye to one of the greatest senior classes will ever see. A lot them will get their name called on that fateful day in April when the NFL holds its draft. A soon to be force in the NFL and backbone to the Sooners, Dan Cody. The best Wide receiver in the Draft will be Mark Clayton. We can't leave out the Antoni Perkins, Jamal Brown, Vince Carter, Lance Mitchel and the list can go on forever with this stellar class.
The future looks bright for our Sooners. Do I have to mention the phenom Adrian Peterson. #28 hopefully will continue to "run all-day," and bring us home one of those Heismans. Fortunately we were able to Red Shirt Big Tall Paul Thompson. We've got Tommy Grady, and Rhett Bomar. Both blue chip QB's out of high school. And they are just chomping at the bit to write their own pages in Sooner history. The Defense under Bob Stoops will always be full of Blue Chippers.
Friends, Family, Sooner Nation no need to worry only 3 months till Spring Ball and 8 months till the season opener. My friends Sooner Magic will be restored. Until then all one must do is close your eyes and you can see all the Sooner greats; Billy Vessels, Steve Owens, Billy Sims, Greg Pruit, The Selmon Brothers, Joe Washington, Tony Casillas, Brian Bosworth, Keith Jackson, Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer, Roy Williams, Rocky Calmus, Josh Heupel, Teddy Lehmen, Tommy Harris, and Jason. All of them roaming Owens Field, in all of their Glory.

Back To Work
So did anyone catch the Capitol One Bowl, with Iowa beating LSU in the final moments. It was a great game, one of the best of the year. Be sure to check out the Nokia Sugar Bowl tomorrow night. I predict the Virginia Tech to upset Auburn. Virginia Tech has probably played one of the best last half of the season than anyone out there and they will continue there winning ways against Auburn.
This goes out to all you heathen Ok State fans out there. How about that coach of yours. Les Miles to LSU. How about them apples. I can honestly say I'm a very happy man about this. I feel Miles was a great coach and the fewer of them we got lining up across from us on Saturdays on a regular basis is a good thing. Good luck Coach Miles!
2 Days and Counting

BCS! BCS! BCS! BCS!
This being the first day of BCS games and all be it only one game has been completed. The day has been good. For all you Cal lovers and BCS haters, you have to be wallowing in your own self pity right now. With Cal getting handled by Texas Tech and Texas beating Michigan, your argument that Cal should have been in the Rose Bowl is all shout to hell. Texas truly was the better team. And all of you BCS haters that thought Texas got a free ride, ha. Not that I am a Texas fan, but them winning is good for the Big 12 and what's good for the Big 12 is good for OU. I still hate Texas will all the fibers of my being, but them winning proves how good OU really is!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve celebration. I know around here we did. Wish everyone a great and bright New Year! Ours around here has already stated off on a great note, with my wife becoming gainfully employed by McLoud Public Schools and we hope for many more great things this year.
3 Days and Counting till the "greatest game," as everyone who thinks they are somebody says. The only thing great about it will be OU winning!!!!!!!
BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naples and Rome?
So did anybody get to watch OK State get thumped on by THE Ohio State. 33-7, ha. As much as I wanted dominance by the Big 12 in the Bowl games I couldn't help but laugh at them Cowboys. Talk about a disappointment. There is no hope for them, unless they are playing OU. I will admit, it doesn't matter how good they when that Autumn day rolls around and Bedlam is in full swing anything can happen. But Ohio State, despite their off field problems pulled it together and showed that they are still big dogs. There is still some happiness in Big 12 land with Colorado's win over UTEP 33-28 or something really close like that.
There 4 wonderful bowl games today for you folks who care. The Continental Tire Bowl - Boston College vs. North Carolina. As of right now those Tar Heels are up 24-21. Looks like a good one. Emerald Bowl - New Mexico vs. Navy. My pick is those Midshipmen. Pacific Live Holiday Bowl - Texas Tech vs. California. Look for Cal to make a statement that they should have been in the BCS. Silicon Valley Bowl - Troy vs. Northern Illinois. Maybe that big ole lineman will get his hands on the ball like in the season opener and take it for 70+ yards again. So hopefully all you guys out there can check out these wonderful bowl games.
Just to let everyone know Chrisanna got a job this week! She is now a 1st grade teacher at McLoud Public Schools. I have had the fortunate task of helping her get her classroom in order. Its been kinda crazy, the teacher who left was not organized at all and there is stuff every where. But all in all its been great spending time with the wife and getting to see her in her element.
Only 5 days till the thrashing in South Florida.
BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAWAII
Talk about fun stuff UConn's first bowl trip was a hit. UConn upset Toledo 39-10. This is the season for upsets. I'm truely loving this. The bowl games are fun and are worth watching for all you scroges out there. So be sure to check out the Independence Bowl, Miami (Ohio) vs. Iowa State and the Insight Bowl with Notre Dame vs. Oregon State. A lot of 6-5 teams, except Miami, they walked away with 8 big victories.
My Sooners all arrived in Miami safe and sound today. With 8 days to prep they are looking like MANIMALS! Ready to go out and rip into some Trojan bait. I just can't wait.
BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thus Eve of Christmas
So I haven't been able to watch to many of the bowl games. I know, I know, they are pretty much meaningless if you don't care about either one of the teams. But, I guess I sympathize with these guys. This is what they work for all year. A Bowl game, who cares if its not a BCS game anyways. Especially the seniors, its a couple more weeks of getting to strap on those pads for probably the last time the rest of thier lives. For most teams its getting to take a trip to somewhere they have never been and possible never go again. Think about this for a moment: Marshal has ruled the Mid-Major teams and Cincinnati a Confrence USA team, known for their Basketball. Cincinnati goes out there and has a blast and wins the game. Same with Wyoming over UCLA. UCLA just couldn't match Wyomings intensity. And that shouldn't have mattered, UCLA should have had their way with them Cowboys. And I undterstand that that was last night and only last night all the other bowl games have went pretty much as expected. Bowling Green beating up on Memphis, Georgia Tech slaughtering Syracuse, Southern Miss. rolling over N. Texas. But last night made it all worth it. The underdogs prevailed. So if you're sitting around with family and want a little something to watch, with some real possibilities of excitement check out Hawaii and UAB today. Maybe UAB will pull that upset. But if not, you will have watched one of the best college offenses this year (Hawaii).
Only 11 days and counting till my Sooners masacre USC. I don't know if I have really expressed this to anyone, but I don't want that close game that goes down in history. I want that masacre that goes down in history. I just as rather we go out there and put a serious thumping on them and that Virginia Tech beats the snot out of Auburn. So everybody and their dog will get over OU being in the National Championship game. I don't know if anybody caught this from me earlier in my blogs but I think we should be playing Auburn, but whatever. Day of reckoning for USC is coming!!!!!!
BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
