  • Randy Orton Would Be His Fantasy Football Water Boy

    No one talks smack better than a professional wrestler. It’s really just part of the gig.

    WWE Superstar Roman Reigns may in fact be king of banter. The former college football player out of Georgia Tech was an All-ACC defensive lineman. Equipped with a solid knowledge of the gridiron, Reigns recently selected his fantasy football team made up entirely of WWE all-stars.

    Reigns is set to square off against Randy Orton at SummerSlam in Los Angeles on Sunday, so to add a little fuel to the fire, Reigns selected Orton as his team’s water boy. “Randy Orton, he’s my water boy. He gets the towels,” Reigns said.

    But Reigns was not done dishing out the insults with just Orton. He also went after his former Shield teammate Seth Rollins, who recently turned heel (basically turning heel is like going to the dark side in professional wrestling terms) and betrayed both Reigns and his former best buddy Dean Ambrose. By omitting Rollins from his team, Reigns was clearly making a statement, “You can’t trust him. He’d probably send our game plan to the other team.”

    Here’s the rest of Team Reigns WWE fantasy football squad:

    Left Tackle: Big Show
    Right Tackle: Tensai
    Guards: Mark Henry and Bray Wyatt
    Center: John Cena
    Tight End: Wade Barrett
    Running Back: Dolph Ziggler
    Full Back: Ryback
    Wide receivers: Kofi Kingston and Fandango
    Quarterback: Cesaro
    Nose Tackles: Big E Langston and Rusev
    Defensive Linemen: Luke Harper and Erick Rowan
    Defensive Ends: Titus O’Neil and Curtis Axel
    Linebackers: Himself and The Usos
    Safeties: Xavier Woods and Chris Jericho
    Cornerbacks: Tyson Kidd and Dean Ambrose

    As for the team owner, of course it has to be Vince McMahon, “He’s like the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. That type. They’ll shoot the skybox more than the field.”

  • Ric Flair: What Is His Future Role With The WWE?

    Ric Flair made another return to the ring. The 65-year-old, semi-retired WWE All-Star showed up on Monday Night Raw. What his role is moving forward remains to be seen, and why exactly he was at the event is still a bit of a mystery.

    Geno Mrosko, a writer for Cageside Seats argues that, “Creatively, he (Flair) had no reason to be there.”

    At first, many speculators thought that Flair would pair up with The Miz on Monday night as some kind of mentor moving forward. However, that didn’t happen.

    Flair entered the ring with a suit and tie and proceeded to do some awkward flirting with Renee Young. The Nature Boy also got in a few classic quips that drew some laughs from fired up fans that never seem to tire of his banter. When talking about being in Richmond, Virginia, Flair said, “Good Lord have I had some fun in this city, just ask your mother’s fathers.”

    Flair also used his ring time to offer up a prediction for the big main event this weekend, the Fatal 4 Way at Battleground. Much to the chagrin of the crowd, who were hoping that the Nature Boy would side with Roman Reigns, Flair instead decided to back John Cena.

    Take a look at The Nature Boy’s performance on Monday:

    Mrosko didn’t see the point of Flair’s presence on Monday night, “From the WWE perspective, Flair still pops a rating when he returns, even when it’s a surprise. This time they promoted it, possibly to combat at the Home Run Derby on ESPN that undoubtedly stole some viewers, and possibly as the final push to entice fans to subscribe to the WWE Network.”

    No doubt that The Nature Boy can still fire up a crowd, and he has some sweet dance moves. Even still, Flair remains a polarizing figure in professional wrestling, some fans are tired of his stale routine, while some fans can’t seem to get enough.

    What do you think? Still a fan of Flair or can you live without him?
