No, I believe that spot has already been reserved by John Cena.

I am the other subby trying to get this story green with a witty wrestling reference. I guess the admins dont like pro-wrestling or the joke falls flat on them.

Some of us have always thought "professional wrestling" was fake and stupid.

I'm sure the king of Spain is real farking upset about this.

This story has a lot of potential. It is writing the funniest and wittiest headline that is the problem on this one.

When does he start vacuuming the carpet at Skydome?

ManateeGag		2012-07-22 08:23:47 AM

Is he going to have to figure Miguel Cole for it?

I think I smelled what the Rock is cooking, and it smells like elephant.

In an unprecedented act of royal contrition, a sheepish Juan Carlos apologized, saying as he left the hospital: "I am very sorry. I made a mistake. It won't happen again."

Not until the next time he goes on safari

Dark1SAn		2012-07-22 09:49:08 AM

Just hope there isn't a "Madrid Screw Job"

Mrbogey		2012-07-22 09:53:07 AM

The best part is the WWE/WWF name change happened 10 years ago. So in a few years the reference will be lost on young people.

Wasteland		2012-07-22 09:55:27 AM

Well, at least there's one Spanish-speaking wealthy guy who can get heat.

IT'S STILL FUNNY TO ME, DAMMIT!

Also, I feel like a cartoon with world leaders acting like WWE characters has potential. Sort of a Lil Bush feel to it with typical WWE storylines, but every episode ends in some kind of match with shades of Celebrity Deathmatch.

Bastardo!

"I am very sorry. I made a mistake. It won't happen again."

That's a good line if you do something stupid while drunk. You don't travel to Botswana and shoot an elephant because you had one too many, or had a momentarely lapse of judgement.

/that said, if it's regulated, then what's the big deal. Plus he's a king, he should get to shoot large animals.

I'm so glad someone went for that reference.

He's king - he can do what he wants. When the story first broke (months ago) the bigger outrage was that the monarch was running around hunting elephants while his country was in financial crisis (as if the King has any real power in Spain).

liquidpoo		2012-07-22 10:30:14 AM

Seriously, who hunts elephants? Does he target practice with the broad side of a barn?

Came here for this, leaving satisfied.

Es un hombre cuyo coche esplendorosa vale más de tu casa.

In an unprecedented act of royal contrition, a sheepish Juan Carlos apologized, saying as he left the hospital: "I am very sorry. I made a mistake. It won't happen again."

Juan Carlos might want to cancel any royal trips to New Zealand with this news. Date night in Wellington:

It's never a good idea to mix tequila and Jägermeister.

Sure, as a king or just as a wealthy dude, he can shoot all the elephants that Botswana allows him to shoot... he just can't do it and expect to remain president of the WWF.

SharkTrager		2012-07-22 10:51:24 AM

1) It's a work.

2) Now I understand the reason there is always a Spanish announcer table to throw people through.

whatshisname		2012-07-22 10:58:07 AM

What kind of asshole goes elephant hunting?

Done in three. Not bad for Fark.

Finally, a news story the public can relate to. A King, having to give up something he holds dear to his heart because of his other love for hunting pachyderms. Box office gold.

DIOS MIO REY!

It's even more wrong than Jim Ross commentating on a porno

BAH GAWD SHE'S GOT A FAMILY KING! HE HIT HER FROM BEHIND!

It's good to be the king.

Len: "You got a couple of things though that could get in the way of this promotion. Like you should probably give up your membership to the all white Woodvale Country Club."

Jack: "That is not an all white club. What about Johnny Carlos? He's ethnic."

Len: "He's the king of Spain, Jack. I don't think that counts."
