Attention Pro Wrestling fans...

Yes, it's wrestling lingo, most of which was born out of carny lingo with a little scam artist lingo thrown in...which may be being redundant.

"A work" is a coined noun form of the verb definition "to practice trickery or cajolery on for some end."

I don't know if that made any sense....I feel like I'm getting dumber....

that's what happens around here sometime. we're like an "intelect balloon" if a bigger balloon gets hooked up to us, it makes us a little smarter, and makes the bigger balloon a little "dumberer".

Update:

PWInsider.com reports that there were quite a few Wellness tests given backstage at today's ECW/Smackdown taping in Cleveland, Ohio. One source estimated over two dozen WWE performers were given urine tests this afternoon. Since WWE doesn't give talent advance notice, there's no way to know whether the testing was already planned when the SI.com article naming several talents implicated in the steroid investigation broke yesterday afternoon. That said, it's entirely conceivable that a larger number of performers were administered tests in the wake of all the media attention.

And a Update to the Update:

WWE was aware that this story was coming, so it wasn't a big shock to them.
Shortly before the story broke yesterday afternoon, Vince McMahon's mood totally changed backstage. It wasn't so much anger as it was concern.

Actually, that's not true! A little science.....

In the case of balloons connected to each other (or bubbles or anything similar), they do not balance each other out! The gas from the smaller one moves to the bigger one, leaving the smaller one with virtually none!

I really can't comment on this. I still have a hit put on my head from wrestlers in the Mid-Ohio Valley for calling their sport "Choreographed wrestling."

WWE has a no steroid policy.
How does that work when the boss is obviously on them?

I thought it was a photoshop, but it's apparently legit.

I watches this last night, oddly enough; "The Man Whose Arms Exploded".

Here's some of it... http://www.flicklife.com/856b06e1273989 ... loded.html

It was ghastly.

Oh, man!

At the end, for just that split-second, when he turned that arm forward, the flop....

Ugh!
