Captain Insano Debuting for AEW?

Adam Sandler is my favourite actor. He’s hilarious and has been in one some of my all time favourite movies. Passes the “dude” test too. You just want to hang with him and grab a couple of pops. One of Sandler’s most iconic roles is of Bobby Boucher in The Waterboy. He plays a bit of a developmentally delayed type character who is passionate about two things. High quality H2O and good ol’ professional wrestling.

Boucher calls his favourite wrestler Captain Insano live on TV and is made fun of by Insano and the announcer because of his deep voice and that he’s 30. It’s a hilarious scene and the wrestler who portrays Captain Insano is the Big Show aka Paul Wight.

AEW owner Tony Khan tweeted out a GIF yesterday of Bobby Boucher saying his favourite wrestler is Insano. Wight had talked many times about the character coming to AEW where he now works. The character is one of the most infamous fictional wrestlers, right up there with Randy the Ram and that jabroni, Hulk Hogan!

According to Xero News it sounds like the Insano character will be making his AEW debut in the Rampage Battle Royale. I think it’s awesome. It’s harmless enough because it’s in a multi-men match that’ll reportedly feature NBA Hall of Famer Shaq.

A stare down between Shaq and Captain Insano would certainly be a visual. I’m going to have to tune into Rampage on Friday now. It’s Captain Insano, baby!

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
