Rick DiPietro loves sweaty men in their underwear
DiPietro knows how to lay the smack down (or something)
Because I didn’t feel like I’d posted enough about the Islanders lately, here’s a story on Rick DiPietro attending the WWE’s Great American Bash last night.
“I’m a huge wrestling fan, so I had to come down. I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of good matches,” said DiPietro, a 2008 NHL All-Star. “I have a lot of admiration for what they do. It’s a lot harder than what we do. Hockey and sports-entertainment are both strenuous on your body, but with WWE Superstars the amount of work they put their bodies through night-in and night-out is amazing.”
Somehow, I really doubt DiPietro implied that pretending to fight and doing a bunch of flips is harder on the body than playing in the NHL.
DiPi also received a customized Spinner Belt from WWE champ and fellow Boston-area native John Cena. It will almost certainly be the only hardwear he wins in his career.
For more on this, please for the love of god click on the photo gallery. DiPietro isn’t usually this uncomfortable until he’s given up five goals to the Penguins in a period and a half.

While I don’t enjoy wrestling in the slightest, it is actually pretty physically demanding and has just as high a penchant for serious injury as hockey. Most wrestlers will ultimately die young, and not just because of horrid ‘roid abuse, just about every wrestler you see on tv is working with a concussion or two.
It’s fake in terms of violence, but there’s some serious weight getting thrown around nightly, and you need to be an athlete to do it.

Thats a really lame title…seriously. I know he is hot and all, but you have to leave your fantasies out of this and turn on your A/C.

[...] a post I did about DiPietro going to some WWE pay per view at the Coliseum that was entitled “Rick DiPietro loves sweaty men in their underwear.” Sadly many of these hits are from people googling “men in underwear.” I fear [...]
