Future Stars Today! Raul & Ramon (Los Locos)

This is my first Future Stars post, one I hope to keep doing. In these posts I would like to bring attention to some of the wrestlers in OVW that I think deserve a chance on one of the big shows. In this my first "Future Stars" I would like to point out a tag team that has worked very hard at being the best they can be, Los Locos! Right now they are on top of OVW's Tag Team Division and probably enjoying more popularity than they have ever had. It baffles me that the WWE has packed up and left these two behind. WWE says they are looking for more Latino wrestlers, but instead of signing the two that have worked so hard to prove themselves they sign wrestlers that have their lives so screwed up I doubt we will ever really see them in WWE. I have watched Los Locos over the past couple of years and have seen them improve ten fold. They work great as a tag team and I think would have made a excellent choice to be Chavo's sidekicks in ECW or a good addition to the tag team division on RAW. So to you Raul & Ramon I ask that you stick in there and keep trying, you have worked hard and you deserve the chance. I am sure someone will take notice in the future.

Backlash Predictions!

First off I want to start by saying that Backlash is not really looking that interesting to me this year. All Heavyweight Championships are just repeats of Wrestlemania, except for the addition of JBL in the WWE Championship. I am glad WWE decided to make it an Fatal 4-way Elimination Match. It almost makes up for the repeats. I have not decided if I will actually pay the money to see this one yet, just may leave it up to the kids. Anyway here are my predictions!

12 Diva Tag Team Match
Mickie, Ashley, Kelly, McCool, Cherry, & Maria vs. Beth, Nattie, Jillian, Melina, Victoria, & Layla
This might not be the most popular prediction, but Beth's team has the power and experience over Mickie's. Layla is really their only weakness. Beth's team should win.

HBK vs. Batista with special guest referee Jericho

Although I agree with everything HBK has said in the whole Flair situation, I do not think he will be able to overcome the power of Batista. Jericho should call it down the middle here with Batista winning.

ECW Championship

The best thing to do is keep the belt on Kane, somehow he will overcome the addition of Bam Neely and put both him and Chavo on their ass! Kane to win.

WWE Championship 4-way elimination

By making this an elimination match Orton could finally be in trouble. A normal Fatal 4-way would have favored Orton and Bradshaw, but elimination will favor Triple H and Cena. I will have to go with the smartest one in the ring, Triple H should leave as the new champion!

U.S. Championship

Matt Hardy seems to have come back well rested and 100% better. Time for MVP to go down! Hardy to win.

Battle of the Giants

Kahli is to slow and Big Show is alot faster than he used to be. Big Show to win!

WWE Championship

Though call and should be the match of the night, but I feel it would be stupid to have Undertaker lose the title after one month! Undertaker to win!

Ten-Bell Salute! "Playboy" Gary Hart

"The Playboy" Gary Hart

Passed away on March 16, 2008, aged 66, following a massive heart attack at his home in Euless, Texas after returning from an autograph session. Before his death, he made a call to his friend, Michael Hayes.

Championships:

3 time NWA American Tag Team Championship

Gary Hart really made the rounds as a wrestler in the Wisconsin - Illinois area in the early '60s , believe it or not, was a bleech-blonde "nature boy" type as a wrestler in the mid-60s known as "Gay" Gary Hart , but he is best remembered for his heel-manager roll in promotions like World Class Championship Wrestling.

A list of wrestlers that Hart managed reads like a who's who of professional wrestling: Angelo Poffo, George "The Animal" Steele, The Kangaroos (Al Costello, and Karl von Brauner), Missouri Mauler and Brute Bernard, The Spoiler (Don Jardine), Mark Lewin, Curtis Iaukea, the Great Kabuki, the Great Muta, Pak Song, Bob Orton Jr., Dicky Slater, Buzz Sawyer, Bruiser Brody, Gino Hernandez, Al Perez. In all, there were probably 25-30 wrestlers.
