HHH acknowledges marriage to Stephanie McMahon

On this past week's broadcast of Friday Night Smackdown, HHH (real name: Paul Levesque) actually acknowledged his marriage to the daughter of WWE owner Vince McMahon. Even though HHH has been married to Stephanie McMahon for quite a while now, this marks the first acknowledgment of their real-life marriage on WWE television.

While there has never been an outright, storyline-related, on-air acknowledgment, their marriage has been alluded to many times over the years. Most recently, HHH's on-screen friend, Shawn Michaels, would make fun of HHH, saying that he married and knocked up "what's her name." These instances were treated as inside jokes for fans who have knowledge of the personal lives of WWE wrestlers.

The storyline reason for the revealing of HHH and Stephanie McMahon's marriage was that Randy Orton, following several brutal attacks on the male members of the McMahon family, attacked Stephanie, and now HHH wants payback for the attack on his wife.

WWE Star Chris Jericho strikes fan

This past weekend, WWE star Chris Jericho (real name: Chris Irvine) spat on and allegedly hit a female fan after she and a group of others heckled him. Chris Jericho was possibly being heckled due to his current portrayal as a "heel" (which in wrestling terms means he is portraying the bad guy, for the purposes of angering the audience and making the good guy wrestler appear all the more righteous). As the story goes, Jericho spat in the face of the woman then she started striking him at which point he struck her. The defense provided by the WWE is that Jericho was justified in his actions because be was being attacked by a mob as he was leaving the wrestling venue. This event happened at a WWE show in Victoria, Canada. This particular WWE show was not televised. I have also included an image of Chris Jericho talking down to retired 16 time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair, this past Monday at the televised WWE RAW event in Oakland, California, which I attended. Also, since it appears that a few of us are wrestling fans, we will be adding interesting news in the world of sports entertainment to our site because it is definitely entertainment.

WWE

I have been watching WWE for approximately 10 years, back when it was still the WWF. "WWE Raw" currently holds the record as one of the longest running shows on television. It is also one of the shows the does not show reruns. The only exceptions are clip shows of past matches, and these are rare usually reserved for if the show day is on a major holiday or if there is a death of a major figure in the company. I will be going to "Raw" in approximately a month and will post some photos. I look forward to hearing the discussion about the entertaining world of wrestling.

In a related topic, it appears that the tough times have even affected the WWE. The company has reduced it staff by 10 percent and have let go around 60 employees. The job cuts have been across the board ranging from Vince McMahon's limo drivers to WWE stars like Val Venis and D'Lo Brown.
