Anyway, let's do some quick TNA news. Junior Fatu has yet to sign a deal, so currently we already know that he'll have a role in the first two 2-hour iMPACT!s. TNA is trying to get him to sign a contract. Jeff Jarrett is pushing to get Pacman in the ring again and if he does The Truth and Pacman will last a little bit longer than it is since it's currently set to end at BFG. TNA is also torn on bringing Big Sexy back into the ring to wrestle, with it being Russo vs. Mantel, Jarrett ultimately making the decision. Time will tell. There is also talk of Dawn Marie going to TNA, supposedly she wants to get back into it and she's friends with Dixie Carter, who has held the door open for her when/if she wants to come back. Also, time will tell with that one.
WWE offered up this update on Teddy Long's condition after his Friday night collapse during his wedding (which I'll discuss the good parts of in a few):
It was supposed to be a beautiful night for Theodore Long and his fiancé Kristal. After months of preparation, the loving couple were finally set to say “I do”. But the evening turned horrific when the groom unexpectedly clutched his chest and fell to the ground. With an understandably upset Kristal screaming by his side, the SmackDown General Manager was motionless and unresponsive as SmackDown went off the air.
After being rushed to a local medical facility, Long’s doctors claim the groom was suffering from hypertension, which was worsened by the ingestion of the erectile dysfunction medicine Viagra.
“Mr. Long then suffered a myocardial infraction with cardio myopathy,” claims WWE’s Dr. Ferdinand Rios. “As a result, he is currently semi-comatose.”
According to Dr. Rios, Long has been slipping in and out of consciousness since early Saturday morning. At the moment, a long-term diagnosis is difficult to make. Long is currently under around-the-clock supervision, as the next few days are critical.
So, basically we have a dying Smackdown GM on our hands. The question is, if he does indeed pass off who'll take over him, and who's going to take over for him in the interim? You can't be GM whilst in a coma. This is going to be interesting. Should keep an on eye on WWE.com and see if they announce anything on there. Also, could this be a rouse to retire him? He seems old enough to wave the WWE good-bye and ride off into the sunset.
Speaking of that wedding, I got back from my football game (I'm in the marching band so I play field show/in the stands) just in time, they were just bringing Reverend Bruce Bruce out. I was excited but I knew it wasn't going to end all wonderful (I mean seriously, did you see Billy and Chuck?). Anyway, the Godfather always turns up for weddings and I was so happy to see the Godfather I started yelling. Then all of the guys leave with him. We have Jillian Hall singing, Godfather, Hornwoggle freaking out. Seriously, up until the Teddy dropping part I was laughing so hard you have no idea. I was highly entertained and not disappointed by this wedding in the least. I just wanna see how they play out the whole Teddy thing.
