WWE Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio recently toured Spain where he invited Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul and their Real Madrid teammates to WWE’s upcoming SmackDown and ECW live event in
Madrid on Sept. 24.
"It was an honor to be invited to visit Real Madrid’s training ground and meet Raul, Ronaldo, Kaka and all the other footballers that play for such a successful team,” Mysterio said. “I am
looking forward to seeing them again in September when I am back in Madrid and to give them a taste of my own kind of athleticism!”
"Rey, it is a pleasure to meet you,” Raul told the SmackDown Superstar. “Thank you for the invite to see you in Madrid. My kids love your show."

Credit to the people at the Sun for this lovely gross photo. I can't believe that I am actually going to say this, but Paris Hiltion has
just ruined my chance of ever liking Cristiano Ronaldo.
A little background info for the foreign readers who don't know who Hilton is. She is an heiress to a hotel fortune. She really isn't known for anything else. She is what we call the bike of the "entertainment" world because everyone has had a go on her.
Anyway, Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Madrid is a world record.
The scoring machine and Paris got down and dirty as they teamed up to celebrate the soccer ace's £80million transfer.
A witness said: "They were sucking each other's faces off like their plane was going down. At one point Ronaldo had a bottle between his legs and Paris was stroking it. It was very racy."
The pair were united in Hollywood's posh My House nightspot as news broke that Man Utd had accepted the mega-offer for Ronaldo from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
After sharing steamy cuddles and expensive champagne for two hours, Paris headed to sister Nicky's home in the Hollywood Hills at 2:05am.
Ronaldo, 24, joined her there an hour later after a brief stop at his hotel.
He left at 5am with a broad grin plastered across his face.
Paris, 28, last night confirmed she and the Portuguese wonder winger - now the world's most expensive player - were an item.
She told a friend: "He's hot, a real athlete - and the chemistry between us was electric."
The American party girl hitched up with Ronaldo just 24 hours after dumping previous love Doug Reinhardt. He has played baseball for the Anaheim Angels and Baltimore Orioles - and is a TV personality in the States.
But in a withering put-down last night, Paris told a friend: "Cristiano's much better than my ex. He was nothing but a low-paid minor league baseball player."
Ronaldo is on holiday in California after Manchester United's season ended in Premier League glory and Champions League defeat. Paris tried to pull him at the same time a year ago, thrusting herself at him in LA club Villa.
On that occasion the player knocked her back. But he never fell off her radar.
And a pal said: "She was determined to get her man this time. And what Paris wants, Paris gets. "She has been telling anyone who will listen that Ronaldo is the hottest thing she has ever seen. "She thinks he is sexy and exotic, and loves his body. And she loves men with accents. She says it's like an aphrodisiac."
Ronaldo made a beeline for Paris as soon as he spotted her with Nicky in My House.
He had intended to have drinks with some cousins but quit them to spend the rest of the night with Paris.
A nightclub source said: "As soon as he saw Paris, Cristiano kept staring at her and looking her up and down. He went over to her table to say hi - and appeared to be smitten. The two were flirting and laughing together all night. It was as if no woman but Paris existed in the club. Cristiano told Paris all about his new deal with Real Madrid and they toasted his massive new pay packet with Cristal champagne."
A bottle of Cristal can cost up to £650. And the club source said Ronaldo spent more than £15,000 on the bubbly and other drinks.
An onlooker said: "Ronaldo and Paris were all over each other, kissing in a VIP booth. They were kissing on the lips and meeting people as a couple, holding hands or with his arm around her. Her hands were all over his lap. There was a lot of very suggestive body language.
"They looked adorable together. It was as though they'd been dating for ages. He was reclined all the way back in a chair with his legs spread wide open. It looked almost pornographic.
"Paris's black minidress was getting higher and higher as the night wore on. At one point people on a neighbouring table threw silver confetti at them. A bunch stuck to Paris's upper thigh, which she draped over Ronaldo's lap."
At times Nicky tried to haul the pair up to dance with her. But they were too transfixed by each other to move.
The onlooker said: "Nicky was looking very bored and eventually she leaned over Paris's lap and grabbed Ronaldo's hands and started dancing with him in the seat.
"Then she stood up and started dancing, trying to get the happy couple to join her. But they were too busy going at it."
Paris had promised to marry strapping Reinhardt, 24. But she ended their six-month relationship after a row in another LA club on Tuesday night.
Reinhardt later arrived at her gated estate to discover he had been locked out.
Just before the split, he described Paris as "the Princess Diana of our generation"
He wrote on Twitter: "Such an amazing woman, so giving, gracious and beautiful. I love my princess. Paris is my world. Such a sweet angel."
Today, through a statement, Doug wished Paris the best of luck.
It read: "Doug refuses to take part in this ridiculous media circus. He wishes Paris and all of her future boyfriends the best of luck."
A word to Real Madrid....WATCH OUT FOR PARIS! She is a (excuse my language) a filthy slut and she will out a stain on your team if she continues to be with Ronaldo.
Also, about Hilton...she would be nothing if the media didn't pay attention to her.
Finally, Cristiano....GET OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Trust me Cristiano. I usually don't care about you, but oh dear god....this is the worse of the worse. Get back with one of your old ladies. :S
Anyway, thank you so much to the Sun for the photos and for the quotes. For video, and more photos, please go to the Sun's website

Manchester United have confirmed they have accepted a bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's future at United has been the subject of constant speculation, with Real having trailed his signature for the last three summers.
Real president Florentino Perez has made no secret of the fact that he would like to lure Ronaldo to El Santiago Bernabeu.
The Spanish titans have now agreed an £80million offer for the Portuguese ace and United have given the World Player of the Year permission to talk to the capital club.
Ronaldo will head to the Spanish capital to hold discussions with Real and undergo a medical.
Real have already snapped up Brazilian superstar Kaka in a world-record deal, but a move for Ronaldo would significantly eclipse that figure.
"Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid," read a club statement.
"At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.
"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30th June. The club will not comment until further notice."
Real confirmed the news in a brief statement on their website, adding that they hoped to finalise matters as soon as possible.
"Real Madrid confirm they have made an offer to Manchester United for the acquisition of the rights of the player Cristiano Ronaldo. The club hope to reach an agreement with the player in the next few days."
The news is bound to be greeted with some scepticism by United fans, who have repeatedly been told no deal had been agreed for the sale of FIFA's World Player of the Year in the face of regular statements from Spain the former Sporting Lisbon star was bound for the Bernabeu.
It was even suggested Ronaldo would be due a £20million compensation fee from Real if the deal did not go through by June 30, the date United now state themselves as when they expect matters to be concluded.
It now remains to be seen where the transfer fee could be reinvested in a squad that almost, but not quite, proved good enough to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, in addition to a hat-trick of Premier League titles.
The name of Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery is bound to crop up as a potential replacement, although the 27-year-old seems overpriced at the £40million figure being bandied about in some quarters, with Wigan's Antonio Valencia also in the frame.
Ferguson will certainly be making plans already to ensure his new faces are on board before United head to Asia for their pre-season tour.
Amid the frenzy over Ronaldo's impending departure, it is bound to be asked whether the current debt hanging over United of almost £700million has played any part in the decision to accept Real's huge bid.

Hello everyone! Happy Thursday! So, while writing this, I was going through a firedrill... So, I was thinking and thinking, while I was outside in the freezing cold waiting for the firetrucks to come, (The school always has to make our firedrills so....real) what should I write about today? There are so many things. For one, Guti isn't going to make it to El Clasico, Ribery saying that he wants to leave, and Mark Hughes saying that he is NOT after Eto'o. So, instead, here are some links for you to read on your own. (I am a little hurried, the class period ends in 15 minutes.)
Ribery open for possible departure from Bayern--SI.com
Barca stars blast Blues---Sky Sports
Hughes NOT after Eto'o---Sky Sports
Toure hails Almunia---Sky Sports
More later, but it is time for me to change classes. XD So, I will write back later during lunch.

Oh goodness. Yes, today's post is about the WAGs of the footballing world. (Big, BIG thank you to Kickette for this!) See if you can follow this?
Danielle Lloyd has been spotted making herself at home with Jermain at the Tottenham players lounge. She’s also been hanging out at his £3 million home - the one he used to share with fiancée, Charlotte Mears.
Charlotte was one of the esteemed group featured on the WAGs Boutique, and has written tips on WAG travel for the Home Office. She and Jermaine got engaged in February and rumours started flying about Jermain being unfaithful back in July; the pair split up a few weeks after.
Before hooking up with Jermain, Danielle was seen table dancing and flirting with Jermaine Pennant and Jerome Thomas at a nightclub in London. She then was the recipient of a mini beat down by a random blonde who didn’t like the behaviour.
Danielle’s long journey into baller beds began with the geriatric playboy Teddy Sheringham, who she started dating during her brief stint as Miss Great Britain. Shortly afterwards, she ran her rather bigoted mouth on national television, lost her title and broke up with Teddy about 80 million times in a four month period.
During one of the Teddy break up periods, Danielle was out clubbing and began snogging the pants off of Marcus Bent as a ploy to make Teddy jealous. Teddy left the club with several dozen women completely unphased. But, a new relationship was born and many a paparazzi photo of Danielle and Marcus on vacation was snapped/mocked/etc.
Marcus is currently dating Gemma Atkinson, whom he dated briefly a few years ago when he left his long term baby mama for Gemma.
Gemma used to date Cristiano Ronaldo, but the whole prostitute pool party situ put a damper on things.
Gemma was rumored to have had a fling with C-Ron’s team mate, Alan Smith - who has a girlfriend.
Chantelle Houghton, a reality TV “star” of D-list proportions, worked her weave off trying to hook up with Jermain Defoe, and the hard graft paid off. The pair dated for a few months before Jermain cheated on Chantelle. Never mind that Chantelle broke the cardinal rule of dating her friend, Danielle’s, ex-boyfriend, she was still shocked and heartbroken.
Chantell did learn a lot about love though. At the end of her relationship with Jermain, she declared: Expensive shoes don’t make you happy, they really don’t.
There’s no helping some people.
After a brief period of dating “regulars” and pledging never to hook up with ballers again, Danielle has now returned to the Tottenham grounds to date her third Spurs player - Jamie O’Hara. No, we’ve never heard of him either.
From Teddy to Jermain to Jamie - the status progression is far from inspiring. We girl-crushed on this?
ALSO!!! Danielle allegedly hooked up with Armand Traore, Gerard Pique and Ryan Babel at some point last year.

This adorable LOL
pic of the day was first spotted on The Beautiful Game and as well as Off the Post...
It seems that even defenseless babies are now taking a crack at Ronaldo!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah
Now, you may be wondering, "Why aren't you going to do a review? Simply stated. Liverpool were shite in the second half. So, I am not going to write a review. Nope. :(
Ok, so next order on the list. It seems that Czech Republic manager Petr Rada has been sacked as coach of the Czech Republic 24 hours after captain Tomáš Ujfaluši announced his retirement from international football.
Rada, 50, replaced Karel Brückner following the team's failure to pass beyond the group stage at UEFA EURO 2008. However, the Czechs have since won just two of their six qualification matches for the 2010 FIFA World Cup – against Slovenia and San Marino – and lie fourth in Group 3, five points adrift of leaders Northern Ireland. After they drew the return fixture with Slovenia on 28 March, the side's 2-1 home loss to Slovakia four days later proved the final straw for the Football Association of Czech Republic. A successor has yet to be appointed.
In addition, Milan Baroš, Radoslav Kováč, Martin Fenin, Marek Matějovský, Václav Svěrkoš and Ujfaluši have been excluded from the squad for disciplinary reasons in the aftermath of the historic defeat by Slovakia in Prague. The 31-year-old Ujfaluši did not play in that match but has nonetheless decided to call time on an international career which began in a friendly against FYR Macedonia in February 2001. The Club Atlético de Madrid centre-back, who followed Tomáš Rosický as captain last year, scored twice in 78 appearances, the highlight of which came at UEFA EURO 2004 when the Czechs reached the semi-finals.
The Czech Republic's next game is a friendly against Malta in June before they resume their qualifying campaign with a match in Slovakia on 5 September. Slovakia's triumph at the Sparta Stadium last week was their first-ever win in Prague as well as their first victory over their neighbors since 1997.

*sigh* All I have to say is god damn it!! :(
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has won the 2008 Ballon d'Or award ahead of Lionel Messi and Fernando Torres.
Ronaldo was the clear favourite to land the prestigious prize after a remarkable year at Old Trafford.
The powerful attacker netted 42 goals last season as the Red Devils claimed Premier League and UEFA Champions League glory.
His summer was overshadowed by Real Madrid's courting of the 23-year-old, while he missed the start of the new term with an ankle injury.
But Ronaldo has demonstrated his impressive ability in recent weeks, netting nine times since September.
Ronaldo finished runner-up to Brazilian forward Kaka in 2007 and overcame strong competition this time around from Barcelona playmaker Messi - who finished second - and third placed Liverpool star Torres.
He is already FIFPro World Player of the Year and also took the top prizes from the Professional Footballers' Association and the Football Writers last term.
The Portugal winger is the first United player to win the Ballon d'Or since George Best in 1968 and the first from his country since Luis Figo in 2000.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Manchester United), 446 points
2. Lionel Messi (Argentina, Barcelona), 281 pts
3. Fernando Torres (Spain, Liverpool), 179 pts
4. Iker Casillas (Spain, Real Madrid), 133 pts
5. Xavi (Spain, Barcelona), 97 pts
6. Andrei Arshavin (Russia, Zenit St Petersburg), 64 pts
7. David Villa (Spain, Valencia), 55 pts
8. Kaka (Brazil, AC Milan), 31 pts
9. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden, Inter Milan), 30 pts
10 Steven Gerrard (England, Liverpool), 28 pts
11. Marcos Senna (Spain, Villarreal), 16 pts.
12. Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo, Arsenal), 12 pts.
13. Wayne Rooney (England, Manchester United), 11 pts.
14. Sergio Aguero (Argentina, Atletico Madrid), 10 pts.
15. Frank Lampard (England, Chelsea), 8 pts.
16. Franck Ribery (France, Bayern Munich), 7 pts.
17. Samuel Eto'o (Cameroon, Barcelona), 6 pts.
18. Gianluigi Buffon (Italy, Juventus), 5 pts.
19. Michael Ballack (Germany, Chelsea), Cesc Fabregas (Spain, Arsenal), 4 pts.
21. Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast, Chelsea), Sergio Ramos (Spain, Real Madrid), Nemanja Vidic (Serbia, Manchester United), 3 pts.
24. Edwin van der Sar (Netherlands, Manchester United), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Netherlands, Real Madrid), 2 pts.
No votes : Karim Benzema (Lyon), Pepe (Real Madrid), Luca Toni (Bayern Munich), Rafael van der Vaart (Real Madrid), and Yuri Zhirkov (CSKA Moscow).

Villarreal CF and Manchester United FC booked their places in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages after an eventful game provided everything but a goal – making it four 0-0 draws between these sides in as many meetings.
Wonderful performance
The sides had already assured their places atop Group E bar an unlikely combination of results, and although they eliminated any doubts at El Madrigal, the scoreline belied a game not lacking
in attacking intention, with Cristiano Ronaldo putting in a scintillating performance. The Portuguese international came closest to breaking the deadlock when he hit the bar with a lovely
first-half volley and showed creative intelligence for 90 minutes, harrying the Villarreal defence until left-back Joan Capdevila was shown a straight red card for a rash tackle with eight
minutes left.
Early vigour
The first-half pace had been ferocious as Ronaldo applied huge amounts of verve and enthusiasm to his work, looking nothing like a man whose participation had been in doubt due to a minor leg
injury. As Villarreal stuck to their methodical trademark of accurate passing, the European champions quickly drove the ball high up the pitch whenever possible as Ronaldo and Nani stalked
the touchlines. It was an effective tactic, particularly with the visitors' defence comfortable containing former team-mate Giuseppe Rossi and Ariel Ibagaza.
Brilliant display
Rossi and Santi Cazorla had fierce shots on target while Anderson did likewise at the other end as the teams jockeyed for supremacy. United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak's occasional fumbles
exhibited some nerves, but it was opposite number Diego López that owed most to a stroke of good fortune five minutes before half-time, and it was inevitably Ronaldo that caused the scare.
That the United No7 was playing so well and Javi Venta and Sebastián Eguren both picked up first-half yellow cards was no coincidence, each presenting opportunities for the winger to show his
set-piece expertise. His first free-kick caused little trouble but his next brought a tremendous save from López, who had been well beaten when Ronaldo's technically-brilliant volley
ricocheted off the crossbar moments earlier.
Total control
United's talismanic winger picked up where he had left off after the restart, firing in a hard, low drive that López fumbled but, first to the rebound, Wayne Rooney could not profit. Such was
Ronaldo's threat that Villarreal increasingly used three men to close him down, allowing Darren Fletcher space to shoot narrowly wide, while Anderson twice forced stops from López. United
were in total control, and midway through the second period Rooney got in on the act, volleying against López's arms from point-blank range.
Fierce tackle
Rooney was in the thick of the action again soon after, waltzing down the left wing and sending in a deflected shot that was looping into the net before Capdevila intervened to divert it over
the bar. It was where the defender's luck ran out, however, as he was soon given his marching orders, meaning he will miss the trip to Celtic FC on Matchday 6. Top of Group E on goal
difference, United host Aalborg BK knowing they will qualify as section winners if they match the Spanish side's scoreline.
