If you missed Quinton "Rampage" Jackson’s foray into the world of professional wrestling on Monday night’s WWE RAW Viewer’s Choice show, count yourself lucky. Let’s just say that Rampage and his A-Team co-stars fit right in with the calibre of acting that was featured on the show, which isn’t saying much. Hopefully his lines in the A-Team are few and far between.
Well, apparently Quentin has the wrestling bug. He’s been hitting his Twitter page (Rampage4real) hard this week, tweeting about how he "wants in," which could be an indicator that he may follow in the footsteps of fighters like Josh Barnett and Ken Shamrock who have wrestled "professionally" (what an oxymoron). I wonder if he’ll change his Twitter handle to Rampage4fake if he does.
Here are a few of his wrestling-related posts he’s been furiously typing like an enamoured Justin Bieber fan who saw the little puke while he was out with his mom and his bodyguard buying new sneakers:
"John Cena was cool, but Ted [DiBiase] is the man. I want to do a movie with him. Vince [McMahon] was cool as hell, Bret [Hart] is my new home boy, [Roddy] Piper is so down to earth."
"The King (Jerry Lawler) is laid back, Mean Gene was pimp, everybody was damn cool. I would like to go back as Rampage and do the powerbomb."
"I was like a kid today, I have not been happy this past week,but meeting my child hood heros,and making new friends was all I needed I’m back."
"I will tell y’all everything tomorrow, it’s late here, I’m still on tour, I will let y’all know what I’m doing so y’all can keep up,btw I want [i]n."
"Everybody was cool! They r a bunch of big kids like me, doing what they love. Big Show was so funny! He showed me the choke slam. I want [i]n!!!"
Rumor has it that all WWE staff was warned prior to taping that they were not to mention the UFC or MMA at all. Apparently mentioning "real fighting" is like telling wrestling fans that Mommy and Daddy are the ones who hide the eggs, put a quarter under your pillow and sign the presents, "Love Santa."
Serious question. Does anyone other than 10-year-old kids actually watch wrestling? That’s when it became lame for me and my friends. I figured it would fizzle out like Pogs and ALF.

@Mike Russell
I know I've been critical in the past, but I really wasn't trying to attack you Mike. And I'm being honest about Rampage's posts. Here are links to the actual tweets:
hxxp://twitter.com/Rampage4real/status/15721073786
hxxp://twitter.com/Rampage4real/status/15720851477
Perhaps you copied the edited tweets from another source, like hxxp://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/WWE/article10012330.shtml? (I see them there edited, also.)
Yeah I know pro/fake wreslters get hurt and what they do is very physical and sometimes the blood is real... but really I think real fighing would hurt and injure you a lot more.
And if 'Page went to pro wrasslin' maybe he could win. No pressure to perform when it's all scripted. Win and take the glory, lose and blame it on the script.
For example, you quoted:
"The King (Jerry Lawler) is laid back, Mean Gene was pimp, everybody was damn cool. I would like to go back as Rampage and do the powerbomb."
Rampage's actual tweet:
"The King is lade back,Mean Gene was pimp,everybody was damn cool,I would like 2 go back as Rampage and do the power bomb then wowl. Ny next!"
Another, your version:
"John Cena was cool, but Ted [DiBiase] is the man. I want to do a movie with him. Vince [McMahon] was cool as hell, Bret [Hart] is my new home boy, [Roddy] Piper is so down to earth."
Actual tweet:
"John Cena,was cool,but Ted is the man,I wanna do a movie wit him. Vince was cool as hell,Bret is my new home boy Pipper so down to Earth"
Rampage doesn't need an editor - he's keepin' it real!
At least it hints that rampage may be working on rounding off his game a bit. The man hasn't even attemped a crazy body slam/power bomb in years. Get some of your old flair back Rampage, let's see a little airtime before you spike some middleweight and get DQ'd re-enacting your pride days.
May The Iron Sheik make you humble, old country way.
Wrestling is fags performing for fags, so what the fuck are you talking about fag? If you call that shit entertainment I bet you've got Jerry Springer's signature tattooed on your ass cheeks and you go to Walmart just to eat at McDonald's every other day in your spandex tights, cowboy boots and sleeveless Dokken concert tee. Or have you been too busy snorting lines of crank off Ric Flair's shriveled old cock to get out of the trailer? Please stab yourself in the testicles repeatedly with a rusty ice pick to prevent any conceivable chance that you might possibly replicate your DNA. Immediately.
No, seriously, do it now. Find a hammer or a large rock or some other blunt instrument if you can't get something resembling a rusty ice pick and smash yourself in the balls, just like Japanese Deathmatch.
