Super Bowl Fashion

(UPDATE: To any angry wrestling fans, at the time I met the legend known as Eddie Venom, I was talking on the phone to my wife, whom I had left alone with my baby daughter during Super Bowl week. WTEM's Andy Pollin, whom I was with, stopped the mohawk man to ask about his hair, at which point I took a photo while still on the phone, and also overheard him telling Andy that he was a pro wrestler. Had I not been in the middle of a phone conversation, I would likely have gotten the full story. Of course, were I not writing a blog about mohawks, I would likely have won the Pulitzer, so there's that. Anyhow, all I had was the photo, and I figured "claimed to be a pro wrestler" was a fair statement of the facts as I knew them.)

Likely my final Super Bowl XLVII post of all time, but I had all these photos I sort of mildly wanted to post and never got around to posting, so here they are. Not surprisingly, about all of them could fit in under the designation "Super Bowl Fashion."


See, now that's a mohawk. This guy is pro wrestler Eddie Venom, and never forget it.This guy claimed to be a pro wrestler.





Best dressed at players' wives' fashion show. Easily. This is Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby.





I guess this is one of the Deal or No Deal Models at Carmen Electra's party.


Chad Jackson's footwear at Media Day.





Emmitt Smith's wife, at the fashion show.





Rickey Henderson, at the fashion show.





Marion Barber III's mom, at the fashion show.





Leonard Davis's wife, at the fashion show.

Nice. My favorite is Marion Barbers mom's jean jacket. You should have asked her about it.

Hold on. "Claim" to be a professional wrestler???? Wow, you really do your research, don't you? Why would I just "claim" to be a pro wrestler? When you usually ask people that you take a picture of what they do for a living, does "professional wrestler" come up often? Especially from a 6' 7", 295 lb. man? I don't think that would be something that alot of people would just make up. If I had said, "astronaut," or something like that, I could see your inclination to write, "claims to be a professional wrestler." If you would like some kind of proof of my profession, you may go to www.myspace.com/eddievenom and see for yourself. There I have many pictures and videos showing my profession. You can even see video of me wrestling on WWE's Smackdown. Or, it might be a show that only "claims" to be WWE's Smackdown, if that makes you feel better. I know how careful you writers have to be about reporting false news, and law suits and the such. So, Mr. Steinberg, I hope this has cleared things up for you, so you don't have to "claim" anything more about my profession. You can just say it as fact.

Sincerely,
"The Motor City Monster" Eddie Venom

Actually, that guy with the mohawk IS a professional wrestler. Quite good at it too. I'm surprised WWE or TNA haven't signed him for long-term work.

Posted by: Joe Cwik | February 6, 2008 8:03 PM

In regards to the picture of Eddie Venom (guy with mohawk who "claims" to be a pro wrestler), I can substantiate that "claim" for you as well. I have seen dozens of Eddie Venom's matches and actually have a video of him on WWE's Smackdown as well. I've known Eddie Venom my whole life and he is absolutely everything he "claims" to be! I suggest you check out the link he provided you with and see for yourself...then apologize to the man!!! I expected better research skills from someone employed by the washington post.com

Posted by: Melissa Adkins | February 6, 2008 8:04 PM

Eddie Venom is IN FACT a professional wrestler. No need to "claim" anymore...you can be 100% sure that he IS a pro wrestler. I know this because I have seen him wrestle many many times. and like he said...go to his myspace page and see the pictures and videos for yourself.

That's very rude to assume someone would lie about something like that...do your research, buddy.

Posted by: Karen | February 6, 2008 8:05 PM

I, too, substantiate the "claim" that Eddie Venom is INDEED a professional wrestler, as I have worked with Eddie numerous times with several promotions around Michigan and have seen him wrestle on WWE Smackdown! As a fellow journalist, I would think that facts should embrace statements that are either written in an article or editorial. Seeing as how you "claim" to be a reporter, perhaps you should contact someone who "claims" to be a journalism professor for tips of the trade.

Posted by: John McEvers | February 6, 2008 8:11 PM

Ya'll need to lay off Steinberg.
This, folks, is something we like to call a blog. It is as much editorializing as it is news, and when there is news, it usually has some editorial comments along with.
I am a big guy, and if I had a big ol' mohawk, I too could claim to be a wrestler. Is it Steinberg's fault that he doesn't follow the incredible coughsportcough of professional wrestling.

Posted by: DC to the real motor city | February 6, 2008 8:18 PM

In deed Eddie Venom is a wrestler. I've seen him wrestle many times live and used to talk to him all the time at the shows.

And yes, as he said go to myspace page and view his videos or even his pictures.

Thank you.
Next time reasearch a little bit first.

Posted by: Nicole | February 6, 2008 8:35 PM

Steinberg shouldn't lay "claims" to someones career without doing the backround work on it first. you can find Eddie Venom on myspace, and youtube. This is the age of technology.... checking someone's backround on things like claiming to be a pro wrestler is only a few key strokes away!!!!! we aren't trying to berate steinberg... we would just like him to make a retraction about it.

Posted by: Joey Scroggs | February 6, 2008 8:50 PM

Yeah! Eddie Venom, AKA the guy with the mohawk, is a balls-out, real live, don't-take-smack-from-no-one pro-wrestler. And a damn good one at that!

Posted by: Trish C. | February 6, 2008 9:11 PM

"This is the age of technology.... checking someone's backround on things like claiming to be a pro wrestler is only a few key strokes away!!!!!"

I, for one, am glad of this. Nevertheless, the pile-on seems out of proportion to the offense, somehow. (Though I am not a professional wrestler, so I wouldn't know.)

Maybe Eddie Venom has some thoughts on whether the Wiz should keep or trade Agent Zero?

Posted by: Lindemann | February 6, 2008 9:32 PM

dear sorry wrestling fans,

take it easy

Posted by: anon | February 6, 2008 10:05 PM

I think you ought to refrain from traveling out of the eastern time zone, Steinz.

Every time you go near the west coast, bad vibes accompany you back home. Or at least clueless commenters.

Posted by: ScottVanPeltStyle.com | February 6, 2008 10:06 PM

So, fashion is nice and all, but I'm really writing to say that there should be an article in the Post somewhere detailing AU's amazing, dominating victory over Holy Cross tonight.

Posted by: KC in DC | February 6, 2008 10:10 PM

Hey! I happen to be friends with the mohawk man, Eddie Venom, and I can verify that he truly is a professional wrestler. Unfortunately, a lot of people are under the impression that if you don't wrestle for WWE, ECW, or TNA, you are not a professional. Well,.......WRONG!!! Do your homework before you post something false.

Posted by: Jimmy B. | February 6, 2008 10:30 PM

Your goofy the guy with the mohawk is really awrestler named Eddie Venom. Go back to school and retake journalism 101 on how to do research. I guess you are a self-proclaimed journalist.

Posted by: Elise | February 6, 2008 10:42 PM

Dan, I bet you didn't have pro wrestlers commenting on your A1 story on Monday.

Posted by: DBKAlum | February 6, 2008 11:01 PM

Very funny comment whoever wrote *coughsportcough* about professional wrestling. You must think you are hilarious. Fact of the matter is professional wrestling is a predetermined sport, but a sport non the less. And until you've done it for youself, such as someone like Eddie Venom, or myself you wouldnt know the kind of physical tole it takes on you. Just thought I would clear that up.

Posted by: Kaitlin | February 6, 2008 11:44 PM

So his claim and the caption are true. What's the problem?

Also, this is a bog. It's not even a blog. Sorry if this is the type of big break you were looking forward to putting on your myspace page. Oh well. I'm looking forward to the complaining Deal or No Deal models.

Posted by: sitruc | February 6, 2008 11:47 PM

Ahahahahahaha - the quick and vociferous response here was classic sportsbog.

Wow Steinz - do we have a list yet of people that you must be careful not to piss off when you post? I can recall:

1) 6'7" WWE wrestlers.
2) Seahawks "12th man (men? women?)" (Admittedly they don't inspire the fear that rabid wrestling fans do).
3) Halo 3 players who would NEVER do anything unseemly to gain extra experience.
4) DTC haters

Posted by: Icantfeelmyface | February 7, 2008 1:22 AM

I have seen him wrestle many times and have been a fan for quite a long time. He is definatly a professional wrestler.

So no, it's not just a "claim" he is the real deal.

Posted by: Yep, Eddie Venom is a wrestler. | February 7, 2008 1:22 AM

I had forgotten about the Seahawks' fans, Icantfeelmyface. They were forgettable. I did immediately think of the Halo people though. Somehow, Halo 3 message board posters are much more rational than some people who know a wrestler and read his myspace page though.

True or False: The man pictured is Eddie Venom.
True or False: Eddie Venom claims to be a wrestler.
True or False: The man pictured claims to be a wrestler.

Where are the Deal or No Deal models?

Posted by: sitruc | February 7, 2008 2:02 AM

I've never met him, I can't say I'm familiar with his work, but I can definitely verify that the man you interviewed in the previous post was indeed the frontman for Sugar Ray.

I can also confirm that Georgetown's the only Atlantic 11-eligible team to have a top-50 RPI, Alaskan photographers seem to like Seth Greenberg's daughter, and Bobby "Bosworth" Boswell lost on GUTS to a girl.

Posted by: B.A. | February 7, 2008 2:40 AM

B.A., the daughter the Alaskan photographer likes is Paige Greenberg and the girl Bobby "Bosworth" Boswell lost to is Robin Rexroat.

Posted by: sitruc | February 7, 2008 3:07 AM

I don't know about the rest of you but I could really care less if this guy is really a professional wrestler or not. He got what he wanted and now his 15 minutes of fame is up and he's crying. All this is is a stunt on his end to bring more attention to himself. As far as I know "real" professional wrestlers don't have time to sit on the computer all day. Maybe you should spend time doing something productive, like trying to make it into the "real" wrestling world.

Posted by: Steve | February 7, 2008 9:14 AM

Hey did you know that Eddie Venom actually is a professional wrestler?

*rolls eyes, yawns*

Chill out and go watch your VHS copies of the '91 Royal Rumble

Posted by: Ron Mexico's Pet Hotel | February 7, 2008 9:30 AM

Geez, who knew wrestling fans were so sensitive. Or could write.

Posted by: mike8 | February 7, 2008 9:34 AM

I don't understand what should be retracted. Isn't it true that this guy claimed to be a professional wrestler?

My guess is that this is the first trip to the Bog for some of you members of the internet wrestling community. Tongue-in-cheek is the order of the day here. I'm sure that, at one point or another, Steinz has also said that Brandon Lloyd claims to be a NFL Wide Receiver. It's a joke, not an attack on dude's character.

Relax, and enjoy the publicity.

Posted by: Keynote | February 7, 2008 9:50 AM

Icantfeelmyface, you forgot anyone associated with Georgetown.


Dan, are you permitted to show a picture of Matt Leinhart without some blonde in the shot, too?

Posted by: Kim | February 7, 2008 9:58 AM

Eddie would have looked way more legit if he wasn't the 2nd person that commented. I wonder would have happened if you put a picture up of RIC FLAIR. Do you think RIC would have commented that he REALLY was a pro wrestler? Relax dude.

Posted by: Rando | February 7, 2008 10:17 AM

Man, you folks haven't even commented on the best pic here, the Arenas 'Skins jersey.

Oh, and by the way... just because people have to work out and be in great physical shape to participate in it, doesn't make pro wrestling a sport anymore than if I went to the gym ten times a week while performing nightly in an off-Broadway production of "A Chorus Line".

Pro-wrestlers are pumped up soap opera stars, better suited to the screen and stage than to a true test of competition. Now, on the other hand, the folks on American Gladiators (who use equally pumped individuals) actually would be a participating in a sporting competition.

Posted by: || | February 7, 2008 12:20 PM

Steve,

You COULD really care less?

Posted by: Just An Ignorant Wrestling Fan | February 7, 2008 12:21 PM

Wow, that's quite a list on the sign. "Potty Mouth". So where's murder on their sign, or biggot, or hate mongerer, or....

Eh, you know what I'm saying.

Posted by: EricS | February 7, 2008 1:14 PM

"Eddie Venom" is a Subway employee is HGH.

Do you know why people don't know who the heck you are?

Cause you are a nobody.

Your "Wrestling video" has 192 views on YouTube. You by my count, only have 27 fans, as all 27 have come here posting on the comment section.

My guess is you sent a MySpace bulliten to all 67 of your friends linking this blog.

The funny thing is, the author of this blog wasnt in anyway making fun of you, just posting a picture of your mohawk.

What I would do if I were you Eddie Venom, is take this publicity, because it's probably the best you will ever get.

And before you come back with some sort of redneck reply, I just googled your name.

It confirmed.

You are nobody.

Posted by: The Mayor | February 7, 2008 1:20 PM

"mike8": You're incorrect--they can't write, at least not many of the ones on this site.
Oh, the outrage! Agt. Steinz, how could you?
Stop it already, people.

Posted by: Arlington Pimp | February 7, 2008 1:58 PM

First things first for those of you that are taking the time to make nasty comments about E.V. defending himself, need to take a second to think about what you would do in his shoes (which most of you would probably not be able to fit in)...you would defend yourself and hope for some sort of compensation!! Being featured on an internet blog/website is just as big if not bigger than being on TV these days. But let me be clear...He doesn't need this exposure to be known around here...he already is.

Second..Mr. "the mayor" do I detect a little jealousy?!? I know Eddie Venom personally and not only is he one of the coolest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing but he is also one of the most talented...he wrestles, is in a band, frequents a radio morning show as a regular guest, holds a 9 to 5 job, and knows how to treat people with respect and kindness. I have a feeling not alot of people would be able to say that about you...just a hunch. Oh and have you ever Googled your name?? Wonder how much of a "Somebody" you are.

Posted by: Eddie V for President | February 7, 2008 2:13 PM

"Oh and have you ever Googled your name??"

Yes. Daily actually.

"Wonder how much of a "Somebody" you are."

Well, I don't want to put my resume out here. Buy since you asked for it....

B!tch, I am the Mayor of Fed Ex Field. I co founded the DTC, which incase you didnt know, is the BIGGEST Tailgate party at Fed Ex Field.

Wow! Eddie Venom has been a guest on a radio show. Well son, Ive been a guest on 2 radio shows.

Me and my crew have been featured on Fox, NBC, ABC, Comcast, The Discovery Channel and we just were featured in the HBO Real Sports season premiere 2 weeks ago.

I saw his "band". Funny thing is my rap songs that I make in my basement and record on my laptop get more plays than any of his songs.

Im glad everyone knows this guy in your town, I am known worldwide son.

My fitted hat and gold medallion with my face on it has more street cred that Eddie Venom.

And since you think that 179 views on YouTube is some sort of an accomplishment, check out one of many of the DTC YouTube videos.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LjTa9ijJdE

That one has almost 22K views. Just a slight differance to your 179.

Bottom line is this.

1. Eddie Venom isnt even close to my level. Either are you.

2. This guy works hard everyday for his publicty, I on the other hand just go to Redskin games.

Now walk away.

Posted by: The Mayor | February 7, 2008 2:32 PM

As my name states...I am NOT a wrestling fan nor do I know Eddie Venom, but I DID Google "Eddie Venom Pro-wrestler" and I must say he IS a "somebody" as there were quite alot of hits.

Maybe you were spelling his name wrong??

Posted by: NOT a wrestiling fan | February 7, 2008 2:36 PM

Yeah. I googled it too. Lots of hits. But for the Spider man movies. Sorry Edward but your not that important.

I am also a Wreslting fan for the past 20 years. Never heard of him.

Posted by: Can use Google | February 7, 2008 2:43 PM

Well "Eddie V for Prez" I would say you hit a little nerve on "The Mayor"!! But I would still say the Prez came out looking a little better..not only did he/she prove their point (at which I am assuming your point was) that you are an unhappy little person that takes time to put other people down to make you feel better about yourself. But they also got you to tell everybody who reads this who your real identity is and hopefully now exposes what a pompous jerk you are!! I will admit that you have a great resume and kudos to all those hits you have on YouTube...but I still agree with Prez that Eddie Venom probably has more friends that will continue to defend him and his name than you could ever have...and that makes his resume even better!!

I wouldn't admit to too many people that you Google your name on a daily basis...that's actually pretty sad

Posted by: R.T. | February 7, 2008 2:55 PM

Excuse me, wanna be mayor?

"1. Eddie Venom isnt even close to my level. Either are you."

Sweetheart, I would never want to sink so low as to be on "your level", and I don't think Eddie Venom could even if he tried. He's an incredible and talented individual. People love him. And if you rolled up wearing your "fitted hat and gold medallion with your face on it", I can guarantee I wouldn't give you more than a one second glance (surmising in that one second that you're a punk and nothing more.) I also find it extremely pathetic that you feel the need to google yourself daily, searching for validation at the key strokes of complete strangers.

You just sound like an arrogant jerk. You're known worldwide? *clap clap clap* I'm so happy for you. Really. You must feel so fulfilled. Now go back to your basement.

Posted by: Nunya | February 7, 2008 3:01 PM

Over 21,000 views on youtube is pretty impressive, The Mayor. Funny you forgot to mention that just about every comment is saying what classless MORONS you and little posse are. You're such a joke.

Oh, and you realize you're white, right?

Posted by: Ha. | February 7, 2008 3:41 PM

"Funny you forgot to mention that just about every comment is saying what classless MORONS you and little posse are."

Actually, if you had one bit of common sense, you would realize that is MY YouTube account, and if I was really upset about any comments, i would either disable commenst totally, or delte comments that offended me.

But I don't. You know why? Cause I don't care.

But thank you for watching my video.

Posted by: The Mayor | February 7, 2008 3:47 PM

...As for "The Mayor", you can put your penis away now. I believe Mr. Venom was only trying to validate the fact that he, in fact was a pro-wrestler. I don't believe he was trying to claim any of your precious territory(the world). So try some prozac, angry little man and a nice tall glass of shut the f*** up. Have a nice day.

Posted by: Amused | February 7, 2008 3:54 PM

Thank you, Captain Obvious. It was quite apparent that the account belonged to you. And I'm not surprised that the derogatory comments don't bother you either. You simply don't know any better. I guess the phrase "ignorance is bliss" would be appropriate here. I couldn't stomach more than a whole 30 seconds of the utter stupidity that spewed from your mouth. It's amazing how some people strive to be a total douche.

And again, YOU'RE WHITE.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Posted by: Ha. | February 7, 2008 4:05 PM

If the mayor had any common sense or spelling sense for that matter he would just walk away himself. He must not realize that we Detroiters defend and protect our own.

Again somebody went on to prove the obvious when "Ha." pointed out the comments left on his YouTube account...you find joy in talking smack about other people to make you feel better about your pathetic life. Now go record another rap song in your basement and keep that medalion around your neck cause in the end that is all you'll have going for you.

Posted by: Eddie Venom has my vote! | February 7, 2008 4:05 PM

Detroit is garbage. The state of Michigan has the highest rate of unemployment in the United States.

There is a very good explanation for that.

THEY ARE ALL REATRDS!

Eddie Venom is just the mascot.

The most joy I find, is when 30 low-class rednecks are on a DC Sports Blog defending theie inbred and mowhaked idol "Eddie Venom" who once wrestled in the Ann Arbor community center.

Infact, the most attention this douchebag has ever got, has been on this blog.

So keep watching my video until your small brains are so overloaded with DTC, that your prescoius little wrestler is forgotten.

At the end of the day, Eddie Venom and his groupies combined can't see me on my worst day.

Speaking of my penis, it's been in your sisters mouth "amused" so respect that.

Posted by: The Mayor | February 7, 2008 4:18 PM

EDDIE VENOM ROCKS!

That is all.

Posted by: A.L. | February 7, 2008 4:21 PM

Wow!! I didn't expect all of this! As to the poster that said this is a "tongue-and-cheek" kind of blog, I appreciate that, and obviously, my obvious "tongue-and-cheek" response wasn't obvious enough. I just thought it was funny that Dan posted my pic, and being that I am a wrestler, thought it would be funny to respond to what he wrote, and have some of my fans do it as well. And it definitely has been funny. What is the funniest thing that came out of it, was "Mayor." Listen dude, I'm glad that you do whatever it is that you do. I'm glad that you record rap in your basement. That's cool. Your thing is rap, mine is wrestling. And just for the record, I've wrestled for TNA on national television, as well as Smackdown, which is on TV worldwide. I also am know worldwide due to the countless wrestling DVD's that I've wrestle on, and that have been sold all over the world. So, again, we both have our thing. I don't have a gold medallion with my face on it though. I'll work on getting one of those made. It sounds rad.
But, if you are going to rip on people in a blog, or message board, or any kind of online page like that, you really should sound educated. I'm not saying you aren't educated, but when you write things like, "1. Eddie Venom isnt even close to my level. Either are you.", it makes you sound like you aren't. I believe the word you were looking for was "Neither," and not "Either." But that's cool. We all make mistakes. Just for the record, I didn't take this thing all this seriously, so I suggest you don't either. We're all just playing around on the internet, you know? Have fun! Don't be so negative. And remember, having an argument on the internet is like being in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still "special."


Posted by: Eddie Venom | February 7, 2008 4:26 PM

"REATRDS?" Is that some word you made up? I bet it means "super cool people".

I find it completely hilarious that YOU are calling anyone low-class. Doesn't your trailer have a mirror? By the quality of your spelling, my guess is you didn't even graduate from high school. Maybe if you pulled up your pants and straightened your hat, it would raise your IQ a little.

And you even pulled out the "my penis was in her mouth" line? How original. You're just the most original person ever! Kudos to you!


Posted by: Ha. | February 7, 2008 4:31 PM

Eddie, as the first post indicates, I thought this was a nice blog by the author.

At that point, I didnt give your picture a second thought. At first glance, you were a redneck with a mowhawk, and it made me laugh.

Obviously, this blog hit one of yoru nerves, because all of a sudden, 25 or so of your "fans" bombarded this board attacking the author.

Well like your cronies are defending you, I am defending the author.

Since you were the second one to post on this comment section, and your "fans" followed suit, it would leave me to belive that you directed them here, to defend you.

If you took the blog "tounge and cheek", what was the need to "call in the dogs" for your defense?

And all I was doing was defending Steinz here, it was until one of your "fans" decided to ask me if I ever Googled my name, and if I was "somebodY'

All I did was answer the questions.

Man. Detroit wrestling fans are tough. Again, all the author did was post a picture.

Posted by: The Mayor | February 7, 2008 4:35 PM

I think all of you people have no life and should get one. But wait, you are keeping me entertained by going back and forth with one another aruguing over something as stupid as wrestling or making a rap song in a basement. It seems like none of you have anything else better to do than entertain me so thanks!

Posted by: Amused | February 7, 2008 4:51 PM

I have only visited Detroit briefly for the Super Bowl a couple years ago and I had a great time, and met some wonderful people that love their city and state with great passion. Sadly I can't say the same about DC. It is unfortunate that Michigan has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation right now...but that is not something that is in their control, jobs are being taken from them on a daily basis and are shipped overseas. This is something that needs to be stopped!! Since they are the hub of the car industry, and headquarters for alot of other corporations it is only time before other states are going to be right alonside of them.

I really do hope some of your "fans" read some of the things you are saying to the people that are on here, it is raunchy and disgusting.

Oh and did I mention that I work for HBO and I will be sure to bring this blog to the attention of the people at Real Sports...maybe they will want to do a follow up on you and what a great stand-up guy you are. Since some of them are from the metro-detroit area they may find this interesting.

Good luck to you Eddie Venom!!

Posted by: Amazed | February 7, 2008 4:51 PM

"it was until one of your "fans" decided to ask me if I ever Googled my name, and if I was "somebodY"

I disagree Mr. Mayor, without coming down to your level and sounding childish, YOU started this!! As everyone else on here can read you were the one to call Eddie Venom a "Subway Employee" and a "Nobody" first..and that is what sparked all of this.


Posted by: R.T. | February 7, 2008 5:10 PM

"Did I mention I work for HBO?"

Did I mention at any point if I cared where you work?

Nope. I didnt.

And again, I am defending the author from all these poor, white trash, inbred yokels from Detriot.

And yes, I have visted there before. Pontiac is a very crappy area, with an average household income of less than 32K.

Now please make fun of where I live, Ashburn, Virgina. My next door neighbor plays for the Redskins and my TV costs more than most people in Detroits cars.

Did you guys want to talk trash or just chit chat?

Posted by: The Mayor | February 7, 2008 5:16 PM

Mayor got zinged--somewhat courteously, I might add--by Eddie Venom. Hey, Mayor, NOW you MAY be quasi-famous.
And, Eddie Venom, of all the replies to the idiot Mayor, yours is one of the finest posted on these pages. You are correct on one point especially: He's "special," all right--at least that's putting it diplomatically.
Also, I believe "REATRDS" is Mayor's Maryland vanity plate. Just a hunch.
Everyone else: Please use the direct-address comma, but I love the fact that people are realizing that grammar and punctuation DO matter.

This was a lot more fun last night when it was all just silly. C'mon kids. Behave and be nice. How about that team that we all like? Remember when you could look at a Pistons roster and think it was the Wizards roster?

Venom - you are definitely cool with most of the posters here. I thought it was awesome that you visited our "bog" for a day. (even if some of your "fans" appeared to be the same person under different names.... haha, just playin).

Also, no need to respond line by line to the Mayor - this is just what he does. Peace out and kick ass.

sitruc: Maybe we should repeat the request for more photos of "Deal or No Deal" models.
(You're always ahead of me on these requests, by the way. Nicely done.)

To be quite honest, when I was about 10 years old, all I wanted to be was a wrestler.

I used to watch WWF and WCW all the time.

I know it takes hard work to do it, and am not in anyway knocking the time and effort he put into his trade.

All I was doing was defending Steinz.

The same way people were defending Eddie Venom.

And I take back by Subway remark, as I just received an e-mail that Eddie Venom actually works at Quiznos.

Oh, I respect the fact that my sister is your mother,....it's me uncle Amused. By the way do you still look like Kip from Napolean Dynamite? Lot's of love always,

Uncle Amused

Wouldn't it be ironic if HBO," by the way, did he happen to mention that he works for HBO?" staged a little "get together" with the albino mayor and Eddie Venom. I would enjoy watching little mayor try to politic his wigger way out of that one.

Posted by: Oh by the way | February 7, 2008 6:56 PM

I think HBO would be more interested in showing my adult film that I made with some crack heads in Detroit urinating in my mouth.

Ok, now this has gone from silly, internet ramblings back and forth to someone being a complete moron. For someone to go to my Myspace, and see my wife's name, and post something so disgusting, just shows what a low-life, pathetic loser you really are. And I'm sure everyone here knows who posted that. It's losers like you who will never amount to anything in their poor, sad excuse for a life, and have to try to make yourself feel better by posting garbage like that. You are the kind of people that pulled the wings off of flies when you were a kid because nobody would play with you and your parents were too busy beating you in between alcoholic binges to pay attention to you. As you can see, my mood regarding this entire thing has changed, and I really hope that Mr. Steinberg, or somebody at the WashingtonPost.com has the good sense and decency to track your IP address and ban you. If I'm not mistaken, I'm sure your tasteless and childish post violates the agreement of conditions for posting on this site. I hope that you've amused yourself, and that you'll be laughing all night long in your parent's basement.

ROFLMOA, That is all I have to say. :)

Sorry. What did I miss? I was in the alley gargling crack head urine.

Posted by: Shay | February 7, 2008 7:47 PM

That was my urine!

Posted by: Tyrone (From Detroit) | February 7, 2008 7:50 PM

Yeah. Exactly. You're really showing your class. Good for you.

Posted by: Eddie Venom | February 7, 2008 8:19 PM

Eddie while you were toasting those tasty Quizno subs today I pooped on the bed.

I am so sorry baby. If you forgive me I will drink your pee!

"I'm tall. I'm rather handsome. I don't like anyone. I eat babies. I point and laugh at stupid people.......and then beat them up. I probably don't like you. Ummmm, that's about it. Oh, and I have a pretty kick ass wife. I love her more than anything."

Follow up to Washington Post picture of me....Need your help!


Well, if you've been to the website, and seen the picture, you'll see that the writer said that I "claim" to be a professional wrestler. I took offense to that, so read the response that I posted at the bottom of the page. And I encourage you all to respond as well. Let's see how many people we can get to bug this guy to post a retraction. See my last blog for the link to the site. Make sure you post a response! Thank you!!"

You would get stomped son

Dear Mr. Venom,

I wanted to say that I'm sorry for the things that I've been writting, as I was bustid on my computer last night when my moms came down to do lawndree in the basement. She sed that I wasn't being the yung man she slaved on the corner for years to raise. The reel reezon that I gave you sutch a hard time is becuz I....well,...uh....I have a crush on you. Pleese don't tell my moms, cuz she duzn't nowe I like men.

Sinseerlee,

The Mayor
(xoxoxoxo)

Imagine my shock when I was surfing thru this website, which I enjoy doing on a regular basis, and came across this discussion. While I do love reading Steinz bogs, and I would have been one to defend him in all this since I am positive that he didn't mean any disrespect towards Eddie Venom. I think The Mayor took it to a place that it didn't need to go. Nobody cares that you live next door to a football player, that you are the "mayor" of Fed Ex field, or that you have a medallion with your face on it (that anybody could purchase from a mall kiosk). I have seen you in action before at a couple different games and I have to say that more people than not would like to see a YouTube video of you and your crew getting your asses whooped. You are nothing but a wanna be and a punk.

And just for the record SON I could buy and sell you before I am done with my morning coffee so you can save your useless retort to me.

What's a "backround"? Did you forget the "g"? Or is that a slang term for "butt"?

I mean, I'm just wondering, but personally, I like to think it's the latter:

"Steinberg shouldn't lay "claims" to someones career without doing the [BUTT] work on it first. you can find Eddie Venom on myspace, and youtube. This is the age of technology.... checking someone's [BUTT] on things like claiming to be a pro wrestler is only a few key strokes away!!!!! we aren't trying to berate steinberg... we would just like him to make a retraction about it."

Why did Susan O'Malley have to leave? If she were still around, I could see a Stein vs Venom match as a halftime show.

Posted by: Po Boy | February 8, 2008 1:08 PM

Is it just me, or does "Mayor" make himself look even more retarded with every post?

Posted by: Curious | February 8, 2008 2:16 PM

Eddie Venom is great with Pearl Jam.

Posted by: mike8 | February 8, 2008 3:54 PM

After reading this long and VERY amsuing blog, I wish to note two things:

1. Eddie Venom, actual real-life wrestler guy, has a lot of loyal fans. Cool.

and

2. Whoever this "Mayor" character is, he needs to take a long hard look at how he spends his time...really...but, hey, if he/she wants to keep spewing hatred, ignorance, and other obvious symptoms of Napoleon complex, well, it IS quite amusing. So keep it up, Mayor! Your ridiculous observations, self-proclaimed wit, and complete lack of charm are MUCH more entertaining than the debate over whether Eddie is a wrestler or not!

Not just you, curious. I aways just skip those posts. I sometimes wish there were a real posting and account system here that allowed users to be ignored. Each time it's worse.

Posted by: sitruc | February 9, 2008 2:06 AM

Hey Jenn, suck my d!ck you stupid tramp.

Posted by: The Mayor | February 9, 2008 10:14 AM

See what I mean about The Mayor? He's so cute when he's angry. >^.^<
