Stone Cold calling out Jon Jones????????????????

WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin had some strong words for UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones during his appearance on The MMA Hour earlier this week.

“I mean, you here a little stuff on the side, about his lifestyle. I mean, his lifestyle is a little bit different than what he preaches. But, as a fighter, premiere. And, God, in the light heavyweight division! And Gustafsson really handed him his ™™™ and took him in the deepest water that he’s ever been in. So that’s going to be a hell of a rematch. Anyway, he kind of gets on my nerves because I think he’s living two lives. To a degree, yes [he is a hypocrite]“

Austin added that he respects Jon Jones’ fighting skills, but he finds Jones annoying and wants to see him get his ™™™ kicked.

“Yeah, (he annoys me), but in a good way. I would love to see him get his ™™™ kicked, because it’s going to take a hell of a man to be able to do that. I come from pro wrestling, I’m not a judge; but I think he (Gustafsson) did enough last time to get that victory. Some people agree, some don’t, nonetheless it was a hell of a fight. And we knew Gus was on his way up to be a superstar. That match made him a superstar. But, what that match proved to me about Jon Jones was that when he’s in deep waters, he had the heart of a champion. So, when I say some things about Jon Jones irritate me, I respect who and what he is inside that Octagon, make no mistake about that.”

Jones and Gustafsson will fight again at UFC 178 on September 28th.
Austin also gave his opinion on several other UFC champions, saying Cain Velasquez is star and a “bad ™™™” that lets his work in the octagon speak for itself. He put Chris Weidman over as a “star in the making.” He thinks Johny Hendricks “isn’t quite Georges St-Pierre” and called Anthony Pettis “exciting” and “almost there.” Austin loves watching Demetrious Johnson and said it’s going to take a a very special fighter to take the gold from Ronda Rousey.

And that's the bottom line

AJ lee beats Eva Marie in a minute?

[Zeppelin1985]

I think the WWE edited out certain parts of the match where Eva was on "offense". I couldn't believe Eva Marie was facing the new Divas Champ fresh off her victory from Raw. Talk about sending a lamb into the "lion's den".

I would love to see this

Bully Ray noted during a recent Opie & Anthony radio appearance designed to promote TNA’s television tapings in New York City that he would jump-ship to WWE if given the opportunity. Bully mentioned that he would return to WWE in a “heartbeat” if Vince McMahon called him.

I don't see how the AJ Lee vs Eva Marie match made since. Why would you allow a diva who barely can wrestle to face your Divas Champion.

I'm pretty sure anybody that's not in the WWF right now would like to be. The business isn't booming right now but at least you get paid in there. That's why even the unhappy people aren't jumping ship to stuff like TNA because there is no point with no competition.

According to several live reports, one from reader Matt Harris, during tonight's WWE live event in Toronto, Ontario, Santino Marella got on the mic and announced to the live crowd that he had suffered his third neck injury, and his in-ring career is over.


Marella, an Ontario native, went on to say he never had the chance to be introduced from Canada, since his character is billed from Italy.

I always liked Marella, glad he had a push.
