Tune in to this week’s WWE Superstars to see if that will happen. Here’s the teaser from WGN America.

On WWE Superstars, Shelton Benjamin will face off against ECW’s favorite surfer, Tyler Reks. Will The Gold Standard put a stop to the rise of this exciting young Superstar?

SmackDown’s rapping Superstar, R-Truth will appear on WWE Superstars to compete against Charlie Haas. Can Haas’ impressive amateur background compete with the unorthodox style of R-Truth?

Just a comment on the Divas match: Kelly Kelly, you’re cute and all, but I’ve admired The Glamazon for a long time for her wrestling skills and sheer power. Beth Phoenix FTW!

Well, Jericho is one of the top stars of the WWE and is currently a heel (a wrestler playing a villainous character) who is one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions along with The Big Show.

Apparently, someone started a meme on whether Chris Jericho is better than Chuck Norris. You know how the Chuck Norris thing goes, right?

Anyway, Jericho is on Twitter and has over 30, 000 Twitters, and a lot of people who saw that Chris Jericho is the top Trending Topic are now tweeting various Chris Jericho-related updates.

Guess this is further proof oh how much cooler Jericho is than fellow WWE pro wrestler The Miz (Jericho is on the SmackDown brand, by the way, while The Miz is on Raw), with whom Jericho has been a engaging a mock Twitter war, with each putting the other down with insults, as I previously blogged for CNET Asia.

Jericho was one of the WWE Superstars who visited Manila during last month’s SmackDown/ECW Live house show at the Araneta Coliseum. You can check out some video clips from that house show here.

You can also visit Jericho’s official site for more information about him and his band Fozzy.

Below are some clips of the cake surprise attack posted on YouTube by fans who attended this week’s Raw, which was held in Washington, D.C. and featured National Basketball Association superstar Shaquille O’Neal of the Cleveland Cavaliers as guest host. Check out my previous blog entry for Shaq’s encounter with The Big Show.

Here’s an account of the post-Raw celebration on Kevin Eck’s Ring Posts pro wrestling blog for The Baltimore Sun.

The moment it was announced that National Basketball Association superstar Shaquille O’Neal of the Cleveland Cavaliers was going to be the guest host on World Wrestling Entertainment’s Monday Night Raw, you had to know he was going to square off against “the world’s largest athlete,” The Big Show.

Well, Raw didn’t disappoint, and Shaq, a huge pro wrestling fan (in more ways than one, heh), was very entertaining and looked like he felt right at home. Maybe we’ll see him involved in WrestleMania 26 next year.

Here’s a clip of the opening segment. Shaq had a hilarious confrontation with Chris Jericho, who is one half of the WWE Unified Tag Team Champions. Jericho handpicked The Big Show to be his new tag team partner at the just-concluded Night of Champions pay-per-view, to replace his original co-champion Edge, who will be sidelined for months after undergoing surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. Yup, that’s a real-life injury, not a storyline one.

And here’s the epic encounter. Will The Big Show chokeslam Shaq?

By the way, in related news, Shaq wanted to find out if he was famous enough to just go to the White House (Raw was held in Washington, D.C.) and meet US President Barack Obama without an appointment. He tweeted that he was going to try it after landing in D.C. on Sunday to host Raw the following day.

Check out this Newsweek blog to find out if Shaq was able to meet Obama.

Here’s a look at the widget from Wrestling-Radio.com.

Marvel Studios has announced that Portman will play nurse Jane Foster in the movie “Thor,” which is slated for release in May 2011. Foster was Thor’s first love in the early issues of the latest Marvel comic to be adapted for the big screen.

Here’s an excerpt from the article on Marvel.com News.

Portman will star opposite Chris Hemsworth who will play Thor and Tom Hiddleston who will play the villain Loki. Kenneth Branagh will direct the film.

Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige will produce “Thor.” Principal photography for the film is set for early 2010. The film will be released in the US on May 20, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

By the way, I’m not sure how true those persistent rumors were for the past few years that World Wrestling Entertainment pro wrestler Triple H was in the running for the role of Thor in the new movie, but obviously he won’t be playing the God of Thunder.

Awesome ringside view — thanks to the fan who shared this on YouTube. Here are Parts 1, 2, 4 and 5 from this user; I can’t seem to find Part 3.

Here are clips from other users.

Here’s an ESPN clip showing highlights of the Lesnar-Mir fight.

I know Brock’s post-fight antics will give people even more reason to hate him, but frankly, Mir was talking a lot of shit before the fight. In fact, lots of MMA fans slam Lesnar just because of his pro wrestling background as a former World Wrestling Entertainment champion. Never mind his outstanding amateur wrestling background as the NCAA Division I champion, his uncanny speed for a man that big, his punching power, and, most important, his burning need to win. Critics just love bringing up his WWE past in order to bring him down.

Of course, Brock seems to enjoy playing the role of villain, and it’s that ability to play a great heel (a pro wrestling term for someone who plays a villainous character) that he seems to have brought over from WWE. Some MMA fans may hate it, but that ability to trash talk and “cut a promo” is part of what makes him a colorful fighter and a pay-per-view draw. Besides, it’s not like other MMA fighters haven’t been trash talkers — the two Huntington Beach Bad Boys, Tank Abbott and Tito Ortiz, immediately come to mind. Heck, Mir was doing a lot of trash talking, before Brock shut him up inside the octagon.

Even UFC president Dana White claimed to be shocked by Brock’s post-fight antics. White is also saying that he hopes to bring in to the UFC Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko to square off against Lesnar in what would certainly be the biggest MMA fight in history. Fedor, the World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts heavyweight champion of rival MMA organization Affliction and the last Pride Fighting Championships heavyweight champ (he remained an undefeated champ, but Japan-based Pride FC was bought out by the UFC), is considered the best fighter of all time by longtime MMA aficionados.

Meanwhile, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre easily retained his title with a unanimous decision over Thiago Alves. Will we finally get that dream superfight between St-Pierre and UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva? I’ll be rooting for Silva, if that happens.
