Lou Ramirez



I have a deep respect for wrestling performers and the industry of sports entertainment. This page is designed to highlight my interviews with WWE superstars. If you are looking for scoop, gossip and/or news about the WWE look elsewhere...

Thanks to the superstars who have allowed me to speak to them and to the WWE for setting up my interviews with their performers.

WM 24



The Great Khali
Friday 10-10-2008 11:19am CT



He’s been gored by a bull, tasered in the cajones and even had his eyeballs bathed in hot sauce, but now America’s favorite jackass, Johnny Knoxville, may be facing his most serious hurt of all, thanks to 7-foot plus WWE Superstar, The Great Khali

 

The trouble started when Knoxville, a big wrestling fan, invited the former World Heavyweight Champion onto the October 3 edition of hisJackassworld.com chat show, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.  After repeatedly needling the increasingly perturbed giant about his size, he asked Khali if his manhood, “tallywacker” in Knoxville vernacular, matched his towering height!

 

The situation escalated when a clip of this interview was aired before The Great Khali’s match on USA Network’s October 6 edition of Monday Night RAW, making the India-born wrestler and movie star challenge Knoxville to leap into the ring to learn a little about what true “entertainment” is. The Great Khali is waiting and hoping for a response from Knoxville and would like to settle the feud, one way or the other, at Anaheim’s Honda Center for the October 13 edition of Monday Night RAW on USA Network.

WWE PREVIEWS CLINTON-OBAMA MATCH ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW
Friday 04-18-2008 1:53pm CT
World Wrestling Entertainment has extended invitations to Presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama to settle their differences the American way—in a wrestling ring — on a special three-hour edition of USA Network’s Monday Night RAW, starting at 8 p.m. ET, the night before an increasingly important Pennsylvania primary.

               

Some have been comparing at least one of the candidates to Rocky (you'll have to figure out which one) and both have been seen recently flexing their muscles in a bowling alley and on a basketball court, but can they wrestle?  WWE, in partnership with videogame publisher THQ, has made the confrontation a reality – or at least a virtual reality.  Using WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, voters can preview what the two candidates’ ring entrance might  look like, complete with music and pyrotechnics, as they enter the squared circle at the BI-LO Center in Greenville, SC, where RAW will emanate from this Monday.
