WWE References MH17 In Pay-Per-View For Cheap Heat

((HT: WWE/Larry Brown Sports))

This was NOT a smart scripting move by the WWE last night at their "Battleground" pay-per-view...

The HQ, in our younger days, marked out for the whole Hogan-Sheik-Slaughter-Volkov rivalry thing.
We got it...

But last night, the script writers got this move approved by Lana as she set up the Rusev-Jack Swagger match
(Until it gets pulled)


All it was in the old days was anthem singing, saluting, and embracing ideologies.
But, now that the levels have been elevated and the audience numbers are more important (translation: heat- get it now and keep it as long as you can...)

You pull stunts like that...
Ultimately, for Lana, it's what's on the script to read. It's the writers that are on the block for this one...

Sochi Mayor Says No Gays In His Town... Really...

((HT: BBC News))

Either Anatoly Pakhomov is blind or just not smart...

He is under the impression that there are no gay people in his town as the winter five-ringed circus approaches in a few week's time...

Evidence below...


Russian president Vladmir Putin passed a law banning propaganda of "nontraditional sexual relations" for the period when the world is coming to his country.

The HQ doesn't see this going over well at all...

US Ramping Up Plans If It Goes Sideways In Sochi

((HT: MSNBC))

The United States government is looking at their evacuation plans if terrorism rears its suspected head during the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia...

Russian President Vladimir Putin has put up a security perimeter outside the town itself that takes nothing short of an act of Congress to access. The US military, in return, are having warships and aircraft within reach in case of necessary evacuations.

Richard Engel is watching from Moscow...
For now...


A video put up on Youtube by an alleged terror group from the Dagestan republic laid claim to recent blasts in Volgograd and claimed incidents were coming to Sochi as well...

CNN's Jim Sciutto centers around a "black widow" that the Russians are keeping their eyers on as a focus for possible violence...

This Can't Be A Good Sign: Olympic Flame Goes Out On Relay

((HT: The Telegraph))

This, you could file under karma...


The flame was okay for President Putin, but when the relay runner went from open space into A TUNNEL... what did they expect to happen to flame BLOWN BY WIND...???

Huh...???

We ask you...

The torch bearer, Shavarsh Karapetyan, 60, was a champion swimmer for the Soviet Union who once saved 20 passengers from a trolleybus that had fallen into a reservoir... according to Russian media...

Putin lighted the ceremonial torch in Red Square before the blow out...
So to speak...

Vladimir Putin Has A Nasty Backhand

See for yourself...
((HT: Moscow2/youtube))


Get your head out of the gutter... what did you think we were going to show you...???

But the HQ does wonder... if you're the goalie in the shootout, do you defend or do you let the guy score...???

What say you...???
