My Against All Odds '08 Predictions

2008-02-10T17:16:00.000-05:00

Finally, I get back to this blog, and hopefully it's for good.

Eric Young vs. James Storm (w/ Jackie Moore) (DCS Match, Storm picks the stip.): This match is to decide who the real drinking champion is. It's been decided that James Storm, the man who won last time, decides the stipulation for this match. Does anybody see a bar room brawl coming out of this? As far as winner goes, I think Eric Young is going to win again. That is, unless Storm pulls out some crazy tactics that gain him the win. But, I'm really leaning towards Young. PROBABLE WINNER: ERIC YOUNG
Traci Brooks vs. Payton Banks: I think Payton Banks is going to win. Robert Roode will probably cause some type of distraction and it'll cost Brooks the match. Plus, TNA operates really funny so it'll definately be Rain--I mean Payton winning it. PROBABLE WINNER: PAYTON BANKS
Scott Steiner vs. Petey Williams (Case vs. Case match): This match is for the two remaining Feast or Fired cases. There has been a pretty decent war going on between Petey & Scott about who gets which case. Well, Jim Cornette found a solution; a case vs. case match with the winner taking both cases. I'm all for Petey bringing home the gold. He won't win the Heavyweight title, but he'll definately get the X Division title. Power to the Maple Leaf Muscle! PROBABLE WINNER: PETEY WILLIAMS
Booker T vs. Robert Roode: Booker T needs his night of revenge and he said we'll never forget AAO, and I wouldn't doubt him for a minute. It's good to have the old Booker back. So, Booker T has this. PROBABLE WINNER: BOOKER T
Motor City Machineguns & Jay Lethal vs. Team 3D & Johnny Devine (c) (Hardcore Street Fight): For those of you who don't know, this match has many stipulations. If MCMG & Lethal win, the person who gains the pinfall is the new X Divison champion and Team 3D can only wrestle when both of them reach below 275 lbs.; basically 3D has a weight limit if they win. If Team 3D & Devine win, the X Division is disbanded forever and the title means nothing. Team 3D & Devine have been winning by knocking the ref out as of recent and I wouldn't doubt it they did it this time so I'm saying the match goes in favor of Brothers Devon, Ray, & Devine. Watch this, the one time I pick them they lose. Excellent. PROBABLE WINNERS: TEAM 3D & JOHNNY DEVINE
AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. BG James & Bullet Bob Armstrong (TNA Tag Titles): Supposedly there is going to be a presenting of colors before the match & the Marines are going to be in attendence to support Bullet Bob and BG James; they have a long history with the Marines so they have major support. AJ & Tomko have been having some major differences lately but I highly doubt that'll make much of a difference. Kip James still seems really ticked off about not being BG's partner, even if it is BG's Dad. When they were cutting their promo on iMPACT! on Thursday Kip sounded really fake, which tells me he might be planning something. PROBABLE WINNERS: TOMKO & AJ
Awesome Kong (c) vs. ODB (Women's Title): Something tells me this is going to be another Beth Phoenix/Candice Michelle situation. Just like WWE is saving the belt for Candice, TNA is probably saving the belt for Gail Kim. So, it's still going to be Kong's. Should still be a good match regardless. Plus, isn't there going to be a rematch next week that's going to be a no DQ match? PROBABLE WINNER: AWESOME KONG
Abyss vs. Judas Mesias (w/ James Mitchell) (Barbed Wire Massacre II): This match is so bloody that it had to be pre-taped in Orlando rather than done live in South Carolina. With this match, I'm really not sure. Probably Judas Mesias because he beat him last time and TNA is probably trying to ECW these guys, therefore the heel wins first before the face does. Therefore, put Mesias on a winning streak against Abyss and at Abyss' last chance he wins. So, this ought to be a good match seeing as I'm a fan of these types of matches. Plus, didn't ECW do something like this before? PROBABLE WINNER: JUDAS MESIAS
Kurt Angle (c) vs. Christian Cage (Heavyweight title) (w/ Samoa Joe as Special Enforcer): So many wildcards in this match it's not even funny. You've got Karen & AJ who'll get involved in a milli-second if it'll keep the belt on Kurt. But, you've got Tomko on Cage's side to counteract Karen & AJ. AND, you've got Joe as the special enforcer. Kurt tried to threaten Joe to be fair on iMPACT! and Joe was buying none of it. Therefore, Christian is probably going to win but who remembers TNA's new policy? If someone wins on a DQ the champion still walks away the champ. Therefore, Christian Cage will win BUT Kurt Angle keeps the title. PROBABLE WINNER: CHRISTIAN CAGE BY DQ

And that's about the long and short of this PPV. Stick around for the reactions/results of the PPV.

Final Resolution Reactions, Show back to WWE, Harris & Killings to WWE, Current Rumble Participants

2008-01-13T15:54:00.000-05:00

Here are my reactions to Final Resolution. Rather belated yes, but here they are none the less.

LAX vs. Rock n Rave Infection: This match was overall good and decent way to start off the PPV. The crowd popped huge when Shelly Martinez (or, as they call her in TNA, Selinas) made her debut. Christy Hemme's reaction was the greatest too. And, as usual, I liked Hernandez all during the match. Hernandez = Very talented individual.
Kaz vs. Black Reign: This match was overall decent. Kaz taking Black Reign's "arctic fox" was one of those head scratchers but I hope Marlina is happy with her newly decorated cage and new name. But, anyway, not my favorite match but definately interesting.
Gail Kim (c) vs. Awesome Kong (No DQ) (Knockouts Champ): I liked this match a lot. TNA is really pushing it's boundaries with it's women's division. They're doing stuff that WWE wouldn't even TRY to do. This match was REALLY good though, easily the show stealer on the PPV. There were a lot of rumors going around post-match that Gail Kim had hurt her knee after that hanging incident but those are not true. I loved this match, and WWE wouldn't dare to EVER main event their women's division either.
Judas Mesias vs. Abyss: I was completely blown away when Judas Mesias won this. I mean, Abyss has been manhandling everyone else but I guess Judas was just too much this time around. It's great to see Mesias back and especially since we finally saw the match that had such a huge build up. Almost lighting him on fire was pretty weird however, although it would have been interesting to see.
Booker T & Sharmell vs. Robert Roode & Ms. Brooks: Not my favorite match in the world, especially since Robert Roode forced Ms. Brooks to basicially follow him like a little sheep, as usual. Anyway, it wasn't that bad and I wasn't expecting Sharmell to go in at all, but she's the one who got the pin fall, unfortunately she was taken out by Robert Roode. I can't wait to see what Booker does to him, especially since Brooks is gone and this Peyton Banks chick is in.
MCMG & Jay Lethal vs. Team 3D & Johnny Devine: Holy schnikes! Johnny Devine almost died like 3 times in the duration of this match AND he ended up getting one of the injury Xes from the referee. Other than that, Guns did a good job selling their hand injuries and Team 3D thought with their heads when they did the Devon holds on the rope/Brother Ray walks idea. Anyway, I liked the match except for the ending. I could be biased however seeing as I'm a Johnny Devine fan.
AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. Kevin Nash & Samoa Joe (Tag Team Titles): Okay, so maybe I was wrong about Nash & Joe. Anyway, Nash just walking away is going to create some good "angry Joe" promos and some good Nash vs. Joe matches. I'm excited. It's really weird seeing AJ on one side with Tomko his estranged partner, like they still talk but AJ is all with Kurt and Tomko is just off on his own. It's just a really strange way for things to run.
Kurt Angle (c) vs. Christian Cage (Heavyweight Title): I was right on one thing, this match rode on who AJ chose, and personally I think AJ made a pretty bad decision. Nonetheless, this match was all Cage until AJ "stabbed him in the back". I liked the match and hopefully Cage gets another title shot.

Now that's enough of that. Onto news ..

There was a rumor going that WWE signed a multi-time world champion and there was a lot going around about who it would be. The next rumor that went around: Paul "Big Show" Wright would be making his return to the WWE ring. If he is indeed coming back, I'm excited, probably one of my favorite wrestlers and even though he maybe skinnier he's still the Big Show. Big Show vs. Mark Henry or Big Daddy V anyone?

One of the current rumors going around is that WWE has signed Ron Killings to a contract. Other than that, nothing else (to me anyway) is known. I'll keep you update.

A lot of people are saying that Chris Harris, who is officially done with TNA, has signed with WWE but there are a lot of conflicting reports. Some are saying he signed a regular deal and a few people are saying that his agent has only signed some type of deal with WWE. No matter what, even if his agent did sign a deal, he's still probably going to WWE anyway. I can't wait to see him back on my television screen and hopefully not whiny. Also, his old AMW partner James Storm inked a new contract with TNA.

Here is a list of the people who are already confirmed on WWE.com as participants in the Royal Rumble: Umaga, Snitsky, Hardcore Holly, The Miz, John Morrison, Hornswoggle, Mick Foley, Batista, Undertaker, Kane, Jamie Noble, Finley, Cody Rhodes, Carlito, & Santino Marella. I'll keep you updated on participants as they're announced.

Massaro & DaBone, Killings in WWE, Rock Might Induct Family into HOF, McIntyre to Raw

2008-01-06T15:08:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year! My resolution: Post here more. I think I have a little bit of a good thing going here and I keep screwing it up by not posting sooooo ..

The general feelings are, based on what's going on at house shows for Raw is that Ashley Massaro will be moving to Raw. Raw also hosts Paul London whom Ashley is currently dating. Anyway, she'll most likely be managing Atlas DaBone who is coming up to the main Raw roster in the near future. Ashley, prior to DaBone's matchs at house shows, has been going out there and speaking about Survivor and how she's glad to be back. After the match she'll then leave with DaBone. So, put two and two together and that is the conclusion you can come away with.

Word is that WWE might be "getting rowdy" again with Ron Killings. WWE has supposedly offered Killings a contract but no word on what he has said. I'll keep you updated because Ron Killings coming to WWE will make me extremely happy.

WWE is interested in having The Rock induct Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia into the HOF and having been (supposedly) sending out feelers to him. The Rock has been really interested in doing it (according to sources) and it all depends on if his movie schedule will allow it. I hope it does because that'd be a pretty nice touch to an already great day for Johnson and Maivia.

Remember, tonight is TNA's first PPV of 2008 Final Resolution. Come back here after the PPV to hear my reactions. It might be a little delayed because I'm not going to be reading the online update like I usually do, I'll probably be downloading the torrent for it. Anyway, you'll definately see them tomorrow here and on The Daily Suplex, which now has it's own link on this page.

Final Resolution 2007 Predictions

2008-01-04T22:13:00.001-05:00

And here are my prediction's for this Sunday's PPV Final Resolution.

LAX vs. Rock n Rave Infection: I HIGHLY predict that LAX has this one in the bag. Word on the street is that Shelly Martinez has confirmed her appearance this Sunday so she'll becoming out as a member of the Latino Nation. Therefore, she will fully distract Jimmy Rave, Hoyt, and Hemme and give LAX the victory. PROBABLE WINNERS: LAX
Abyss vs. Judas Mesias: Abyss hasn't lost to any of them yet, so I wouldn't be amazed if he won this one. He's beat Raven, Black Reign, and Rellik at least once each so he'll definately beat Judas, as much as he's the head honcho of all them. Anyway, Abyss for the win. PROBABLE WINNER: ABYSS
Kaz vs. Black Reign: Kaz is one pissed off dude right now, so he's going to come out swinging. Remember, Black Reign has a bad track record at PPVs but Kaz is pretty good on PPVs so I think Kaz has this. Plus, who wouldn't be pissed off if their opponent put a rat over their head in a bag? Yeah, Kaz has this one. PROBABLE WINNER: KAZ
Booker T & Sharmell vs. Robert Roode & Ms. Brooks: Ms. Brooks wants absolutely nothing to do this match so it's going to be all Roode during the match. I've also heard that this weekend they'll begin the full on seperation of Roode & Brooks that should give Booker & Shamell the clear victory. Therefore, Booker & Sharmell will win on the fact that Ms. Brooks either assists or just walks away. PROBABLE WINNER: BOOKER T & SHARMELL
Gail Kim vs. Awesome Kong (Knockout Champion) (No DQ): Alright, I would love to say Awesome Kong but they've given Kim a lot to work with it being no DQ. This could also mean Kong shines brightly as well because now she can do more. Plus, I want to see the belt OFF Gail Kim. At least for like a month or something, I hate seeing someone with the belt for too long a time. Plus, I think it's Kong's time to shine pretty soon (even though she was eliminated at the 4th seed area in the gauntlet on Thursday). I'll jump out on a limb, and say Kong. PROBABLE WINNER: AWESOME KONG
MCMG & Jay Lethal vs. Team 3D & Johnny Devine (Ultimate X): Don't even need to discuss this one. Yeah, they may have injured MCMG's hands but that doesn't mean anything. It's time for Lethal to get his gold back because it's only so long before this sorta gets old. No explanation needed, MCMG & Lethal. PROBABLE WINNERS: MCMG & JAY LETHAL
AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash (Tag Team Titles): The one thing I always remember is that in TNA weird things happen with their titles. They'll totally lead you in one direction and then just drag you in the other and you'll be like, "Holy crap! I didn't see that coming!" So, their title matchs are generally really hard to predict. You have a pissed off Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash but at the same time something odd could click with AJ & Tomko and they could just go off and do it. Plus Cage or Angle could break things up, or make them worse between the champs. I'll say Nash & Joe just because I think Tomko is going to go off on his own and he'll be tied to AJ as a tag team champ. PROBABLE WINNERS: SAMOA JOE & KEVIN NASH
Kurt Angle (c) vs. Christian Cage (Heavyweight Title): Now this match is really going to throw me off. It all weighs on what AJ does, we already know that Tomko is out of the picture after what he said to Angle last Thursday. The question is, what is AJ going to do? TNA has done a good job of making AJ just look completely clueless and able to throw you off as to who will win. But, no matter whose side that AJ takes, Angle has found a way around everybody he's faced thus far. Therefore, Angle. PROBABLE WINNER: KURT ANGLE

Stick around later for my reactions to the PPV.

Armageddon Predictions

2007-12-16T16:58:00.001-05:00

Here are my predictions about tonight's WWE Armageddon 2007 PPV:

Finley vs. Great Khali: I'm all for Finley on this one, it's going to take some tricky manuevering from him and Hornswoggle but I got the feeling that they've got it. I mean, Khali has been attacking him for the past two weeks and it only makes sense that Finley just goes for it and wins. So yeah, Finley all the way. PROBABLE WINNER: FINLEY
Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Kennedy: Shawn Michaels must pull this off, no possible way he can lose to Kennedy. Kennedy has been trying to play mindgames I think the only time the guy playing mindgames actually won, was maybe 2-3 years ago in a match I probably don't even remember (I definately don't remember). Shawn Michaels for the win on this one. PROBABLE WINNER: SHAWN MICHAELS
CM Punk & Kane vs. Big Daddy V & Mark Henry: Who didn't this match coming? I had a feeling they were going to have this kind of match on PPV, because we all know the ECW title isn't worth defending on a PPV scale. Dumbies. Anyway, I got the feeling that CM Punk and Kane are going to pull off a victory on this one. Yeah, BDV & Henry are HUGE AND they've got Matt Striker, but CM Punk and Kane have a little bit of momentum going into this and I think it's enough to carry them. PROBABLE WINNERS: CM PUNK & KANE
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy (Winner gets a shot at the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble): Easy one, the Hardys always get screwed therefore Triple H has this. We all know the Hardys have the talent, they just haven't been given a full on main event set-up and they're starting to get it now (at least one of them is) but I don't think they're going to get carried to the title. Plus, Triple H only sees one thing in his life: gold. PROBABLE WINNER: TRIPLE H
Beth Phoenix (c) vs. Mickie James (WWE Women's Championship): We all know that Mickie James is going to be injured in the process of this match, win or lose. Anyway, welllll .. I really don't know. I would love to say Beth Phoenix keeps it so that Candice Michelle can win it back, and that would make sense. So, I'll go with that. PROBABLE WINNER: BETH PHOENIX
MVP (c) vs. Rey Mysterio (US Championship): Oddly enough, I think MVP is gonna keep it, he could end up saving it for the return of Matt Hardy BUT Rey could win it and then lose it back to MVP. Hmm, this is a toughie. For the record, I'll say MVP. PROBABLE WINNER: MVP
Randy Orton (c) vs. Chris Jericho (WWE Championship): Chris Jericho just got here, and I think he needs to stay out of the title picture at the moment. Keep him as a mid-carder/upper mid-carder and then just build him up. Plus, they should build up Randy Orton as unstoppable a little bit more too. Therefore, Randy Orton will come out victorious tonight. PROBABLE WINNER: RANDY ORTON
Batista (c) vs. Undertaker vs. Edge (Triple Threat) (World Championship): Oh damn, I have a really good feeling that Batista is not leaving the champ tonight, it's just that simple. And Edge is on a roll but he just got off injury so why throw the strap on him right after he gets back? I say give it to Undertaker, overcome the adversity of Vickie and Edge and finally beat Batista for the title with Edge legally being involved. Taker is gonna be the new champion leaving Armageddon. PROBABLE WINNER: UNDERTAKER

And that's about it for Armageddon. I'll post my reactions after the PPV and a little bit of news later.

Small Break, Predictions/Reactions Still to Come

2007-12-15T19:14:00.000-05:00

I'm taking a minor break for this weekend and only posting the reactions/predictions for tomorrow's Armageddon PPV. On Monday, I'll kick it all back off with news everyday because I seriously need something new to do with my time.

Delayed Turning Point Reactions ..15th Anniversary Information ... The Truth is Gone from TNA

2007-12-10T17:33:00.000-05:00

Here are my delayed Turning Point reactions. Dude, I suck so bad.

ODB & Roxxi Leveaux vs. Angelina Love & Velvet Sky: I was a little taken a back by this match but may be they could step over the one storyline women's boundary and start something here? Decent match however. ODB and the "liquid courage" never quit.
Team 3D & Johnny Devine vs. MCMG & Jay Lethal: Holy crap I wasn't expecting that! This has got me excited and seeing Johnny Devine is great, I really like that guy and not only as a wrestler. Anyway, they still have the title even after the ladder match. It's good stuff and go Team 3D! Teach MCMG how to play the game!
Feast or Fired: Well, Petey Williams, Senshi, Scott Steiner, and BG James. Hot damn this'll be interesting. But, with Christopher Daniel's winning the departing Senshi's briefcase I can't wait to see how this turns out. And Matt Morgan needs to stay more on top of this stuff!
Eric Young vs. James Storm: Textbook, just didn't see the miscommunications coming in there.
Gail Kim vs. Awesome Kong: Holy crap she lost it! Best match on the card, this feud is really good so they should keep it going. Plus, both of these chicks can wrestle a great match.
Abyss & Raven vs. Black Reign & Rellik: Raven on the face side of this match? What is this? I was really confused by this but I marked out anyway because it's Raven, and that's just how I am about him. Anyway, Rellik jammed tacks in Raven's mouth, nice really nice. I always mark out over gimmick, hardcore matches like this so this was my cup of tea, just like the Hardcore title was before the 24/7 rule (beginning of the end really). Unfortunately, Rhino had to pull out because of a family emergency.
Booker T & Kaz vs. Robert Roode & Christian Cage: There was straight up nothing memorable about it except that Kaz got me points on Stablewars for an appearance and a win. And Roode and Cage got me points for an appearance and a loss. That's about it.
Angle Alliance vs. Eric Young, Samoa Joe, & Kevin Nash: I hope TNA really learned their lesson with this one. They always thrust WWE dropouts and guys with histories of problems into the main event scene and then boom, they drop out and go. Samoa Joe did a really good shoot out in the ring, went over board but he even yelled at Dixie to fire him. Eric Young is now launched into all of this, probably just the break he was looking for. Ridiculously dumb match other than that.

Turning Point was really good, but a total disaster at other points. I look forward to the cases being opened this week on iMPACT!.

Raw's 15th Anniversary is going to be awesome and complete mark-out night for all. Trish, Lita, Stone Cold, Hogan (didn't he say he wasn't coming back?), and just about anybody else you can imagine. The Bisch even! 15 man battle royal tonight and I've got some predictions on who might be in for a competition but I'm wayyy too lazy to repeat them here. Word on the streets is that either Sid Vicious or Bret Hart is going to be there, but that's highly doubted. Carlito and Jeff Hardy ought to be interesting too.

Just a really good, mark-out night tonight. I'll post reactions afterward.

TNA Turning Point PPV Predictions

2007-12-01T14:11:00.001-05:00

Yep, I'm back to give my predictions for tomorrow's Turning Point PPV. Here goes.

Feast or Fired (3 Titles Shot [ON A POLE], 1 pink slip [ON A POLE]): This match is totally Vince Russo from start to finish. Anyway, it's basically a battle royal with three winners winning a title shot at the X Division, Tag Team, or the Heavyweight title. So far the 15 people involved have not been announced so with the three choices I've gotta take a wild guess and for the guy who's losing once again a while guess. Anyway, I'll throw my hat into this and say Christopher Daniels for the X, Hernandez for the Tag, Chris Harris for the Heavyweight title, and Raven to be fired. Unfortunately, for Raven, it just has to be that way. WINNERS: DANIELS, HERNANDEZ, HARRIS///LOSER: RAVEN
ODB & Roxxi Leveaux vs. Angelina Love & Velvet Sky: Onto the women who were given stupid names. Anyway, ODB and Roxxi are the toughest chicks in the new division but you can't count out the other two who might just lie, cheat and steal their way to victory in style. I'm leaning towards Love & Sky for this one, they just seem like the shoe in for it. Buttt, ODB and Roxxi sound good too....Hmmm...Ehhh, I'll say ODB & Roxxi. Roxxi has VKM in her corner so they could swing things in their favor. WINNERS: ODB AND ROXXI LEVEAUX
Eric Young vs. James Storm: This is really interesting and I like how this match came about. Eric Young is gonna win this, he's beat Storm at drinking so why not in a match? WINNER: ERIC YOUNG
Booker T & Kaz vs. Robert "It Pays To Be" Roode & Christian Cage: With the Coalition being over and Styles trying everything in his power to make it up to Cage it's a pretty good guess that Styles is gonna come down to the ring and really screw everything up. Ms. Brooks could have her final run in with the fan and officially be fired. Brooks could cost the match too. Therefore, Kaz & Booker have this, plus Booker is on a push right now since coming and you can't losing an entry PPV match, just not possible. Kaz is on a roll too. So, Kaz & Booker for the win (ftw). WINNERS: KAZ & BOOKER T
Abyss & Rhino vs. Blackdust & Rellik (Match of 10,000 Tacks): What is up with TNA putting Rhino with all the freaks of the place? What? Are they trying to make him look like one of them because it's not working and even if it did it would be an awful gimmick. Anyway, Abyss has the momentum as does Rhino, therefore they will pull off the victory tonight. Plus neither Blackdust or Rellik have won a match against either on PPV. They also seem like a really unorganized team. I wouldn't mind seeing the return of Mesias either. WINNERS: RHINO & ABYSS
Team 3D & Johnny Devine vs. Motor City Machine Guns & Jay Lethal (Tables Match): Team 3D & Devine will lose and the guys will get the title back. It's as simple as that and needs no explanation. You can't have a match at the beginning of the night to find out who gets the title shot if the champion doesn't have the title. WINNERS: MCMG & JAY LETHAL
Gail Kim (c) vs. Awesome Kong (Women's Title): Awesome has this, we do need a new champ but I'm sure after this Kim will get it back. Buttt...Kim could find a way. Ehh, I don't know, I think I'll go back to Gail Kim. WINNER: GAIL KIM
The Angle Alliance vs. Hall, Nash, and Samoan Joseph: Hmm, wow. I'm not sure on this one. I'd love to say the Angle Alliance but with Tomko injured who knows who the replacement will be. Anyway, Hall's return and with the way Joe has been wrestling lately they've got this. WINNERS: HALL, NASH & SAMOAN JOSEPH

Wow, thanks to TNA for being predictable that was amazingly easy. I'll be back later with news and hopefully you catch the PPV tomorrow. I'll post my thoughts on it either on Monday or directly after the PPV.

Feast or Fired? ... Update on Sting ... Hogan Divorce? ... Tomko Injured ... Hardy Injured

2007-11-25T20:23:00.000-05:00

Here is a quick update on all the stuff I missed randomly during the week.

TNA has a new sort of gimmick match announced for their 12/2 Turning Point PPV. It's called Feast or Fired. It's a battle royal where there are 4 briefcases hanging from 4 poles (go Russo!) each with a title shot (tag team, X Division, & Heavyweight) and one that has a pink slip. I'm really excited for this concept for some reason. It'd be interesting to see who got fired. Once I know the full roster for the match I'll post it and give my thoughts on each contestant.

Sting is currently on break and TNA has offered him a contract extension. No word, however, on if he's agreed on it or signed it.

According to sources Hulk Hogan's wife has filed for divorce. I had a strange feeling this was coming because the last season of their show wasn't that happy between the two from what I've seen. Plus, the stress of what happened to Nick and his friend could have played a role. When information becomes available I'll let you know. Other word is that this took Hogan by surprise and it took an interview guy to tell him what happened. Take that for what it's worth.

According to sources Tomko went in for emergency surgery on a torn muscle. Obviously, this happened in Japan. When more becomes known I'll post some more about that.

Matt Hardy also had to go under an appendectomi the other day. It was on the night of the Smackdown/ECW tapings. He is set to be out 2-3 months. In my opinion it seems like he's hit a spot of bad luck as of late. But that's just me. He's missed out on a few matches even if they have been kayfabe injuries (and one that wasn't, thanks Rey). Personally I feel that he's been being screwed out of the US title and he's just not having a good time.

My get-well wishes go out to Tomko and Matt Hardy. =) Get well soon guys!

Survivor Series Reactions

2007-11-19T20:32:00.000-05:00

Survivor Series was an ehhhh PPV. Then again, for some reason I haven't been a big fan of WWE PPVs and TV shows lately. So, here are my reactions to the matches.

CM Punk vs. Miz vs. John Morrison (Triple Threat) (ECW Title): Who called that? I did! Anyway, I can't really remember much from the match but I do remember last night really liking it and thinking it was a good match to start the PPV. Which is something about 85% of wrestling fans are saying (if you're not part of that 85% you're not mentally right.) Anyway, I was hoping CM Punk would keep the title and I guess WWE has been impressed with his work as champ because they've kept him as such.
Beth Phoenix (c), Jillian Hall, Melina, Victoria, & Layla vs. Mickie James, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, Maria, and Kelly Kelly: Hmmm, I thought this match was alright. With only one real wrestler on the face side I was a skeptical about it but from people watching the PPV on TV (I do online PBP updates because I'm unfortunately kinda poor and to boot our TVs have cable stuff built in so I don't have a box) Kelly Kelly was doing really good. I'm all for Kelly Kelly getting some wrestling training in, going to Raw, and fighting it out for the Women's Title. Next draft my friends, next draft.
Triple H, The Hardys, Rey Mysterio, & Kane vs. Umaga, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, BDV, & Finley (Traditional Survivor Series Tournament): The promo that aired before this was hilarious, they just had to bring up Katie Vick. Anyway, that was majorly hilarious and showed how much of an ass Triple H is sometimes. Anyway, Matt Hardy was out and considered elimanated because of his "leg injury". In the end, the surviving team was Team Trips and it was Triple H and Jeff Hardy as the survivors. From what I hear it was alright, but I wish I had seen it first hand.
Batista vs. Undertaker (Hell in a Cell) (World Heavyweight Title): Dude! Edge! Holy crap! What a great return for him and NICE JOB throwing him back in with the Undertaker. I was highly impressed with this match, even though Batista supposedly did a bad gig job and you could see him slice himself. Whatever, anyway really good match and I was happy that I got it right.
Cade & Murdoch (c) vs. Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly (WWE Tag Team Titles): Disappointment city dude. I was kinda bummed that Rhodes and Holly didn't win but then again Rhodes needs more experience plus they could get another run at the titles later. So, whatever.
Hornswoggle vs. The Great Khali: Dude, what in the blue hell happened here? A man, Finley, who was a heel maybe a match or two before and is now suddenly face and helping out his buddy Horny? What? Huh? Who? Yeah, and who else kept forgetting that Finley was in the SS match? I know I kept doing it. Anyway, match sucked. Plain and simple.
Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels (WWE Title) (Special Stipulations): Dude! That was awesome! I really liked this match. Michaels was just ripping off everyone's finishing moves. He used the crossface, angle lock, and his usual sharpshooter. I was like, "Dude! Crossface! Ring the damn bell!" It was great. Anyway, I liked this match, unfortunately Orton was able to pull off the victory. It was good stuff though.

I'll post some news tidbits from the past few days later. Also, who's ready for RAW IS JERICHO!?!

Survivor Series Predictions

2007-11-18T13:36:00.000-05:00

Alright, the PPV that I once again know nothing about. I have no clue what is going on with me and WWE PPVs. I'm just not as into WWE as I was before. Anyway, here goes nothing.

Beth Phoenix (c), Jillian Hall, Melina, Victoria & Layla vs. Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Torrie Wilson, Maria, & Michelle McCool - Hmm, this certainly is an interesting one and yes this is indeed a tag match rather than an elimination style thing (which would have been cool). Anyway, Beth Phoenix & Co have more wrestlers on their side which definately works out in their favor while Mickie James is the only real wrestler on her side. Something tells me this match is going to be all about retribution between the two teams. Anyway, I still think Mickie & Co will pull off the victory in some amazing fashion. PROBABLE WINNERS: MICKIE JAMES, TORRIE WILSON, MICHELLE MCCOOL, KELLY KELLY & MARIA
Hornswoggle vs. The Great Khali: Lots of interference and Hornswoggle is going to Guerrero his way to the win, by Guerrero I mean lie, cheat, and steal. Hopefully we see a Mick Foley run in as well. Maybe McMahon will stick up for his son? Anyway, this match is all Hornswoggle. PROBABLE WINNER: HORNSWOGGLE
Cade & Murdoch (c) vs. Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly (World Tag Team Championship): This is a given, Cade & Murdoch haven't been on the same page since the Mickie James incidents so this might be the final implosion of the two. Rhodes & Holly on the other hand are on a roll plus they're an odd couple tag team therefore they have to win (just like MVP & Matt Hardy and Miz & Morrison). PROBABLE WINNERS: RHODES & HOLLY
CM Punk (c) vs. Miz vs. John Morrison (Triple Threat) (ECW Title): Eeee, wow. I really don't know. I think that Morrison is supposed to get the title back once he came back, but I also think CM Punk should hold it longer. He's been a great champion. I just don't think Miz is ready to the hold the title so I guess we're down to CM Punk and Morrison. Hmmm ... I'll once again go out on a limb and say CM Punk. PROBABLE WINNER: CM PUNK
Triple H, The Hardys, Rey Mysterio, & Kane vs. Umaga, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, Finley, & BDV (Traditional Survivor Series match): Hmmmmm, alright still standing for HHH's side will be (give or take a 1 or 2) Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, and/or Kane. On Umaga's side it'll either be Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, and/or BDV. Now, for the winner, it's going to be Triple H's side. They've got all the amazing guys so, in the words of Vince McMahon, "No chance in hell." Plus, Umaga's team has too many personalities that'll clash. PROBABLE WINNERS: TRIPLE H, THE HARDYS, REY MYSTERIO, & KANE
Batista vs. Undertaker (Hell in a Cell) (World Heavyweight Title): Hmm, this I'm really not sure about. Like in all honesty I have no clue what so ever. Hmmm...let's do a run down of the odds. Batista is just going insane right now (like he does before every PPV where he has a gimmick match) and this is Undertaker's speciality. I'll have to say Batista, I have no clue why however. PROBABLE WINNER: BATISTA
Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels (WWE Championship) (Special Stipulations): Alright, no SCM from Michaels and no blatent DQs from Orton. Okay, sounds stupid. Anyway, Michaels all the way. I know he can do it without the Music, I mean he's got a sharpshooter he's good at right? But, they could screw him out of it by having the ref down and out while Orton taps out. Orton gets a weapon then an RKO, and boom, still champ. I'm still pulling for Michaels though. This last scenario is an idea proposed on stablewars.com. I also smell MONTREAL SCREWJOB PT. 2...Nevermind. PROBABLE WINNER: SHAWN MICHAELS

See ya'll later. And, as always this will also be posted on http://www.thedailysuplex.com. I'll post some news later.

TNA Creative Changes ... Controversy over new TNA DVD

2007-11-15T23:35:00.000-05:00

Today is a day entirely dedicated to TNA it seems. Anyway, there seems to be some changes on the creative side of TNA. Jeff Jarrett is still in charge and Vince Russo and Dutch Mantel are still around. However, Mike Teney and Jeremy Borash have officially been added to the Creative/Booking team. Abyss has also begun to sit in with them so it should be interesting to see if anything new does occur within TNA.

There is supposedly some issues with the new DVD on the 1st year of TNA by the uppers in TNA. They didn't get to approve of some of the scenes in the DVD so they're rather angry. There were thoughts on editing it, but they probably won't do it therefore, rush out and get it while you can! It's on my christmas list.

Peace!

JBL yells at The Miz and John Morrison ... Abyss Injured ... Havok back to Johnny Devine ... Kevin Thorn Being Punished

2007-11-14T23:49:00.000-05:00

Yesterday at the Smackdown tapings JBL took a bunch of people aside (most notably Matt Hardy, The Miz, John Morrison, MVP, and CM Punk). He yelled at Miz and Morrison for their color commentary on ECW and for completely tearing into a guy they were trying to put over and distracting the audience. He then yelled at them again for a match that I guess didn't go so well on Smackdown against Matt Hardy and MVP. He told them they need to apologize to Hardy, MVP, and Punk because they made them look bad. Miz apologized (he's not that much of an ass after all) while Morrison told JBL, in simplest terms, "Go eff yourself". There was a little bit of a physical altercation which was quickly broken. That is just completely ridiculous in my opinion. JBL is a "wrestling God" on TV, not back stage. I understand you know he's a veteran but it's none of his business, but I guess that's just how things work out.

When Abyss was pushed off the stage in the box by Dustin Rhodes and Johnny Stamboli at Genesis he suffered a minor shoulder injury. They wanted him to escape the box through a trap door but he refused to do so. At least he tries to make things look legit and takes the bumps for it. I respect him a little bit more now.

I know you don't care but Havok and decided to go back to his original ring name of Johnny Devine. There goes my dream. I'm sure he'll go back to a "normal" gimmick too but Havok's dressing really isn't that bad. Plus it was completely his idea. Speaking of names, Johnny Stamboli's Redrum gimmick will be called Rellik (which is Killer spelt backwards).

The reason we haven't seen much from Kevin Thorn on ECW is because he's being "punished" for botching a finisher against KC James on ECW a few weeks back. I do remember seeing this finish and I believe that the way he landed he almost broke James neck. I mean, it was a pretty sloppy match to begin with. Anyway, that's supposedly but I would also blame the fact that they have absolutely nothing for him. Now, all I need is my Stevie question answered...

WWE Screws Up .. Again

2007-11-14T00:41:00.000-05:00

Still, absolutely nothing. Anyway, WWE had a major screw up today. They released the cover for December 2007's WWE Magazine and, let's just say this, they made the Jericho return painfully obvious. Jericho is on the cover and it says they'll reveal the real reasons behind his "shocking" return. It's supposed to hit news stands next week (later in the week) but as is custom subscribers get it a week early and they always release the cover a week early. So, way to go WWE. I applaud you.

Jericho Returns Next Monday ... Ms. Brooks Faints

2007-11-12T23:38:00.000-05:00

Really slow day today. The biggest news to come out today is that Jericho is indeed returning next Monday as shown by the new viral video done on Raw tonight (or last night). This is taken from eWrestlingnews.com:

Here are some of the phrases that flashed :

X+1=Y
J=9+1

BREAK_THE_CODE
BREAK_THE_WALLS

6_DAYS
23_hours
33_MINUTES

The Answer is the Code
19_LAUNCH
NEXT_MONDAY

Good stuff. I'm excited now.

And Ms. Brooks had a legitimate faint yesterday at Genesis. That was not an act at all. They believe it was the heat that got to her. She was out and about later in the show so she's alright.

Post-Genesis Opinions ... Redrum Reaction ... Booker T Reaction ... Lena Signed by WWE ... Fatu Not Done With TNA

2007-11-12T00:41:00.000-05:00

Well, as promised, my Post-Genesis reactions and several other pieces of news.

Abyss vs. Black Reign (Shop of Horrors): I think we all knew Abyss was going to win this one. But, we weren't expecting the debut of Johnny Stamboli aka. Redrum. The thing that sucks is that nobody had any clue who it is but I'm sure on the next iMPACT! those who don't do stuff online will find out. It's nice to see a new face involved in this. Hopefully we can suck him into Serotonin one of these days.
Motor City Machine Guns vs. Team 3D: This was an easy one and unfortunately we saw no cool run ins. It was nice to see MCMG win though, and supposedly Team 3D put them over really well, which I liked and I thought was good. We haven't seen the last of Team 3D for the night.
Gail Kim (c) vs. ODB vs. Angel Williams vs. Roxxi Leveaux (TNA Women's Championship): This was an amazingly easy one to predict. It was also a rather good match from what I hear. I have to say I am highly impressed with TNA's Women's Division. You have a lot of good athletes in there and all of these chicks have a more than basic idea of what they're doing. WWE's chicks are just eye-candy while TNA's chicks are eye-candy who can do a really good job at doubling as wrestlers. Really good stuff. I do have to say though, ODB is rather humorous.
Jay Lethal (c) vs. Sonjay Dutt (TNA X Division Title): It was sort of a filler match if you will. It gave the X Division some exposure which it has been lacking lately. The ending though was really something. We seriously saw the invention of the modern day Macho Man Randy Savage, a very humorous Sonjay Dutt, and the new Miss Elizabeth (SoCal Val). Unfortunately, Team 3D came and ruined it by taking out Sonjay & Lethal and then abducted the X Division Title saying that the X Division must suffer for what MCMG did.
AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. The Steiners (TNA Tag Team Championship): I know I said Steiners, but AJ & Tomko had a really fair shot. Anyway, I thought they might implode but that wasn't the case and I think they worked better together than they usually do. It's just their style I guess.
Samoan Joseph vs. Robert Roode: I thought we would see more action from this but it was interesting enough at least. I thought we would see more Ms. Brooks stuff but what we saw really did suck. All that happened was that she was taken out but we're not sure how or by who but I'm assuming Rain and with some kind of random object. Anyway, it sucked but the match was good.
Kaz vs. Christian Cage (Fight for the Right Finals) (Ladder Match): You all know how I feel about Kaz. Therefore, it sucked. And Tomko and AJ cost Cage the match, which is something else you could have guessed because they always seem to do that when it's important for Cage. Anyway, no further opinion.
Kurt Angle (c) & Kevin Nash vs. Sting & Mystery Partner (Tag Team Match for the TNA Heavyweight Title): I hate the concept of a tag match for a title change but whatever. Anyway, Angle kept the title which makes me thing that Sting is screwed for a title reign before he retires. I only really stuck with the PPV to see who the mystery partner is (and it was Booker T). I was rather surprised at the end when Tomko and AJ came out and helped Angle and Cage had no clue what was happening. I knew the Coalition was going to implode, just I wasn't sure how. Anyway, we also saw Sharmell get into a cat fight with Karen Angle so this could get reallllllly interesting.

Anyway, overall good PPV. I was just really shocked by some of the stuff that happened and I was also disappointed by a few things.

I think Booker T returning was awesome. Especially as the old skool WCW/early WWE Booker T. This King Bookuh stuff was BS. Anyway, good luck Booker and hopefully things work out for us on the fan/mark side.

I was NOT expecting the debut of Redrum but I think that maybe that was the point. Anyway, he's a decent replacement for Judas and I can't wait to see what he can do. I'm also rather excited at having another new, twisted character to cheer for outside of Black Reign, Raven, and Mesias. For some reason I have a thing about twisted, heel wrestlers. They're amazing.

WWE has signed Diva Search reject Lena to a contract to be a backstage interviewer on ECW and possibly a wrestler. Supposedly she is in Tampa starting her training by taking minor bumps and things like that.

Lastly, Junior Fatu might not be done with TNA. According to him he wasn't at the iMPACT! tapings because of prior commitments and he was never really done with TNA to begin with and he wasn't sent packing. Supposedly his travel arrangements can get messed up because he lives in two different areas of the US so hopefully we see him at the next tapings. I'm excited to see him again.

Genesis Predictions

2007-11-11T14:19:00.000-05:00

Oh yes! The time is here! It's time for the predictions for Genesis! Woohoo! Here goes ....

Team 3D vs. Motor City Machine Guns: The clear winners here are MCMG, hands down. It's just how TNA operates. They're a very "happy ending" type of promotion. You could also see a few run-ins from other X Division guys. I wouldn't be amazed to see Havok, Triple X, Petey Williams, or Shark Boy get involved. Anyway, the numbers game is huge going into this match. 3D doesn't have the man power. PROBABLE WINNERS: MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS
Samoan Joseph vs. Robert Roode w/ Ms. Brooks: Once again, very happy ending promotion so Joe's got this in the bag. I'm sure Roode will put up a good fight but in the end Joe will hold out. I'm also predicting an end to the whole Roode/Brooks problem. She'll possibly cost him the match and quit. Or accidently cost him the match and be fired. If this does occur we'll be seeing the hiring of the planted fan in the crowd on the next iMPACT!. PROBABLE WINNER: SAMOAN JOSEPH
Abyss vs. Black Reign (Shop of Horrors match): It's about time Abyss loses so I'll go out on a limb and say Black Reign will win. Seriously, Abyss can only last so long before the numbers game catches up to him. I wouldn't be surprised to see the return of Judas Mesias tonight to help Black Reign pull off the victory here. I wouldn't be surprised to see a run in from Raven and Havok either. Whatever occurs, I'm going for who I'm rooting for in this match, not who might win. PROBABLE WINNER: BLACK REIGN
Kaz vs. Christian Cage (Fight for the Right Finals) (Ladder Match): Kaz has this in the bag. I don't care how many people get involved in this match, plus usually when Tomko and AJ are involved in a match later in the night they don't help out Cage. Plus Kaz is on a huge push right now and I'm sure that eventually he's going to be the TNA Heavyweight Champion. Only to be toppled by Raven. Mwahahaha! Sorry .... Why does every post have a mention of Raven? No clue, but yeah, Kaz gets it. PROBABLE WINNER: KAZ
Gail Kim (c) vs. ODB vs. Roxxi Laveaux vs. Angel Williams (TNA Women's Championship): Nobody in this match has a shot, plus Kim can't drop the title that quick. This division is believed to have been built around her so Kim isn't losing anything. PROBABLE WINNER: GAIL KIM
AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. The Steiners (TNA Tag Team Championship): I'm going for the Steiners in this one. I have the feeling the Coalition isn't on the right page after AJ became "team captain". Tomko seems to be getting fed up so he could intentionally cost them the match. Or, Styles could get overzealous and cost them the match enraging Tomko. Anyway, I think we might be seeing an end to Tomko and the Coalition soon. PROBABLE WINNERS: THE STEINERS
Jay Lethal (c) vs. Sonjay Dutt (TNA X Division Championship): Jay Lethal is going to be winning this one. Sonjay Dutt doesn't seem ready to hold the title and I think this might be a title match just so the X Division gets it's spot on the PPV. I would be really amazed if Sonjay did win and if he did win he wouldn't be holding it long. It'd be like Havok winning the TNA Heavyweight title, it won't last. I think we might also see a furtherance of the Jay Lethal/SoCal Val storyline because something might be going on there. PROBABLE WINNER: JAY LETHAL
Kurt Angle (c) & Kevin Nash vs. Sting & Booker T (because we all know it's him) (TNA Heavyweight Title): The way this match works is whoever gets the pin on whoever wins the title. It's pretty stupid way to do it but whatever. Anyway, the real question heading into this was who is Sting's mystery partner, and we all know by now that it's Booker (coming in as Booker T because King Booker is owned by WWE). Anyway, they won't hand the title to a guy just walking in the door because of the history of guys coming and going. Nash is just just getting back in the ring and I have the feeling that Angle isn't keeping this title. Which leaves us with Sting, he needs one good title reign before he retires and I think this might be it. PROBABLE WINNER: STING

And that's about it. I'll be posting this on The Daily Suplex as well, which I encourage you to check out at http://www.thedailysuplex.com. Until later =)

Divas Gone From WWE? ... Speculate On What A Shop of Horrors Match Is

2007-11-10T23:57:00.001-05:00

As many people have noticed, the Divas are removed from WWE.com. It is believed they have been pulled for a redesign of that section although I'm hoping that's just gone. I'm hoping it's just that because we've already dropped the Cruiserweight title and stuff. It probably is but just to be safe keep an eye out.

Now my real question for Genesis is what the hell is a Shop of Horrors match? From what I take it's a no-DQ, hardcore sort of match. But you guys know about Black Reign's little shop in the back? Maybe it's something that involves tools and things like that? Or it could be the type of moniker that WCW used in hardcore matches that involved Raven (Raven's Rules). I dunno but that's my question.

See me tomorrow for my predictions for Genesis and and check out thedailysuplex.com to see what's going on over there. They get news out quicker than I do.

CNN Screws up Cena Interview ... Chyna changes name? ... Video of Hogan crash revealed ... TNA has own saveus.222 ... TNA screw up

2007-11-09T22:28:00.000-05:00

Word is that during the John Cena interview on CNN they completely screwed up what Cena was trying to say. I'm not going to voice my opinion, I'm just going to let the videos speak for themselves because this is just completely ridiculous.

Edited by CNN Version
Unedited Version Caught by WWE Cameras

Anyway, according to TMZ.com Joanie Marie Laurer has officially changed her name to Chyna. She issued a challenge to Vince McMahon saying, "Do I want to go back to get abused by you and get punched in the head every day and have people not stand up for me besides the fans? No. Would I like to go back for one day representing myself and all these people to kick your ass and your ass only? Cause you are the boss, right Vince? Then I would love to do it. You know my number. You know where I live, obviously. And you know my name. Bring it, Vince!" Obviously, she's eithering hitting the same drugs Warrior was hitting when he changed his name or she didn't get WWE's "We'll Pay For Your Rehab" letter. Either way, she's just being really stupid. Mind you, when I was little I used to look up to her. So, thank's for making me respect the new skanks more than you.

According to Nick 'Hogan' Bollea's attorney there is a video that proves all the 'eye-witnesses' were lying when they said Bollea was racing when he crashed his car severely injuring his friend John Graziano (I got the name today). The video shows that the guy they were 'racing' was stuck behind a stalled car therefore they wouldn't know if they were and there was no chance they were. Therefore, I guess the attorney is trying to say is just because he's the child of a celebrity everybody is trying to get him in trouble and put him on the same pedestal as all of the other Hollywood trainwrecks. Nice. I'll keep you updated on how this goes down.

TNA has decided to release it's own (rather late) version of SaveUs.222. It's a puzzle that is found at 11t11n07a.com. There are several things that give it away that it's Booker T at Genesis. It has a picture of Sting in the upper-left corner along with Huffman and Bordon spelt backwards. Bordon is Sting's last name and Huffman is Booker's last name. It also says Genesis and the initials BT at the bottom. Done. And a little too obvious. If you do go and make the puzzle, you have to flip a few pieces and you do this by pressing Spacebar while the piece is highlighted in red.

And a really quick piece of news that shows you how gaff TNA is. They originally said it was Jay Lethal vs. Elix Skipper for the X Division Title on TNAWrestling.com while on air they said it was Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt for the X Division Title. They finally cleared it up however. Nice going TNAWrestling.com web team!

Sting's Mystery Partner is Still Just That .. A Mystery

2007-11-08T23:25:00.000-05:00

TNA was kind of annoying and wasn't really that great. Brief opinions in bulleted notation:

Karen Angle's attempts to "take care of business" are getting redundant and annoying. They need to end this running gag because it's beginning to make me gag.
I wouldn't have minded seeing Chris Harris complaining tonight myself.
The Gail Kim vs. (insert chick jobber's name here) match wasn't that great. The end just sucked too. This match isn't going to be great at Genesis.
Who the hell has ever seen a female jobber?
We had a typical tag team moment with Black Reign getting involved and an X-Division guy getting taken out.
Who say Sonjay Dutt getting a title shot? I definately didn't.
That Kaz vs. Cage match for B/S. Maybe it's because I'm a huge Raven fan I dunno but I hope that Cage owns Kaz wicked bad.

Other than that nothing really noteable happened.

WWE Releases Two ... Genesis Mistake ... Review on Impact Later ... Quick Opinion on Talent Exchange

2007-11-08T19:15:00.000-05:00

WWE has decided to release both Chris Masters and Dr. Death Steve Williams. Williams was a trainer down in OVW and the believed reason he was booted is because he lives in Colarado and it costs too much to fly him out. WWE is just cutting it's financial corners. The next thing is, who will take his place? I'm thinking they'll send either Tommy Dreamer or Val Venis down since they seem to have nothing for either of them. Speaking of people having nothing, where's Richards and Thorn? We obviously all know why Masters was evicted, his Wellness violations have gotten too numerous plus they really seem to have nothing for him because he's such a one sided person.

Since there is really nothing, I'll hand you this piece of just really stupid information. In TV Guide's preview for Genesis they list Jeff Hardy as one of the people going there. As we all know, as far as wrestling goes TV Guide can't tell it's ass from it's elbow. Pretty funny though.

Alright, I'm going to say something about this Smackdown/ECW talent exchange. This exchange is just burying the jobbers/mid-carders on ECW. Ever since this exchange began I have not seen one bit of Stevie Richards or Kevin Thorn. They're two really talented guys just I think they should go better places. If it was my world, they'd be released, both sign with TNA, and mysteriously end up with Raven. Richards for the 293853729 time in his life. And Thorn would be a good fit with him anyway. The same is not happening on Smackdown because they have 2 hours compared to ECW's 1.

Alright, I'll post a little something after iMPACT! tonight just to break the monotony of this awful update. Hopefully they'll tell us what the hell a Shop of Horrors match is.

Word on Brooke's Release ... Nick Turns Himself In ... Pacman To Serve Full Suspension ... New Match Added to Survivor Series

2007-11-07T19:05:00.000-05:00

According to sources the reason that Extreme Expose's Brooke was released is because she got into a tiff with Melina over furry boots that she was going to wear on Raw and that everything turned into a really diva issue with it coming out with Melina being the only one wearing furry boots on Raw. Take that for what it's worth but recently people have been released for some pretty ridiculous things. Am the only who's noticed that wrestlers are gotten a lot more divaish it seems? Oh well.

Nick Hogan aka. Nick Bollea turned himself into the police this morning because of the charges stemming from his accident where he severely injured his friend. The accident was attributed to speeding. He is being charged with reckless driving with injury resulting.

Things in the NFL do not look good for Pacman. Commisioner Roger Goodell said no to shortening his season long suspension. Many attribute it the fact that he signed up with TNA and that if he hadn't then he would be back in the NFL "making it rain". Nice.

There was a new match added to Survivor Series. It will be a triple threat for the ECW title with Miz vs. John Morrison vs. CM Punk. This oughta be interesting.

I got really bored earlier and decided what would happen if ECW was in charge of the US? So I made the cabinet for the US if ECW was in charge:

President: Paul E.
Vice President: Tommy Dreamer
Secretary of State: Raven
Secretary of Defense: Sandman
Secretary of Treasury: "The Franchise" Shane Douglas
Attorney General: Cactus Jack
Secretary of Interior: The Blue Meanie
Secretary of Agriculture: Rob Van Dam
Secretary of Commerce: Sabu
Secretary of Labor: Stevie Richards
Secretary of Health & Human Services: Mikey Whipwreck
Secretary of Housing & Development: Tazz
Secretary of Transportation: Balls Mahoney
Secretary of Energy: Chris Jericho
Secretary of Education: Cactus Jack
Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Terry Funk
Secretary of Homeland Security: Steve Austin

If you think you can do better then me. Post it!

Forgot About Lesnar's Stuff .. RIP Moolah

2007-11-06T20:01:00.000-05:00

I forgot to mention the new information on Brock Lesnar just now. He'll be debuting at UFC 81 against Frank Mir. Here is an article I gathered from MMANEWS.com:

According to Dave Meltzer of WrestlingObserver.com, Brock Lesnar's opponent has been officially confirmed and the terms of the contracts have been agreed to by both sides.

At UFC 81 on February 2nd it will be the former WWE superstar and NCAA amateur wrestling champion Brock Lesnar facing off against former UFC Heavyweight champion and dangeorus submission specialist Frank Mir.

What a crazy match to book considering Lesnar will want the takedown and once there, Mir has an incredibly dangerous guard and submission game for a newcomer like Lesnar to deal with.

In any matter, it's official - Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir for UFC 81 on February 2nd.

RIP Fabulous Moolah. You will be forever missed and remembered as the longest reigning champion at 28 years.

Stipulation Added to Survivor Series .. Speaking of SS Current Card .. Lesnar's First Opponent Announced .. Genesis Card .. Snow Gets Engaged

2007-11-06T19:39:00.001-05:00

First off, let's get some PPV cards out of the way. Let's do a quick run down of the Survivor Series card currently.

Randy Orton (c) vs. Shawn Michaels (WWE Championship) - There is a special stipulation added that I'll go over later.
Batista (c) vs. Undertaker (World Heavyweight Championship) - Hell in a Cell (Woohoo!)
Triple H, the Hardy Boyz (going old skool on that one =]), Rey-Rey and Kane vs. Umaga, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, Finley, and BDV.
Hornswoggle vs. The Great Khali

For some reason I think this PPV is going to shape up to be a decent one. And with word of Jericho's return after it I'm really looking forward to it because it means we're one day closer to a revisit of the Attitude Era.

Speaking of Attitude Era, that has to be one of the funniest Raws I have ever seen. I even got to see Duggan and Super Crazy! First 20 minutes was just DX. Memorable quote:

Triple H: Everything's cool right?
Shawn Michaels: You know I don't know cool! I'm a father of two, all I know is Higglytown Heros and the Wiggles!

Sorry, I found that amazingly hilarious. And THANK YOU Stone Cold Steve Austin for shutting Santino up. Although I'll miss "can of ass whip", "stomping a mud pie", and "that's the bottom lines". Oh well. Also, did anyone else catch the little kid in the front row who got the full on frontal of beer? That ain't cool. And it's great to see Snitsky back! Not really ...

Ahh yes, the Survivor Series stipulation I was speaking of earlier. Randy Orton requested to have the Sweet Chin Music banned from the match, and indeed it was. But, if Orton gets disqualified the title goes to Shawn Michaels. Look out for a good match.

The wedding bells will eventually be ringing in the future of Al Snow and his new fiance Cynthia "Bobcat" Lynch, who was a WWE Hardcore Champion while she was there. Al Snow is still training down in OVW. Congrats!

Nowww, the Genesis line-up. Genesis is this Sunday so buy it! It promises to be a good one. Raven will always weasel his way in, as usual.

Kurt Angle (c) & Kevin Nash vs. Sting & His Mystery Partner (we'll delve into potentials later) (TNA Championship): Who ever pins whoever in this match will leave the TNA Champion.
Samoan Joseph vs. Robert "It Pays To Be" Roode
Team 3D vs. MCMG - Battle for the pride of the X-Division
Gail Kim (c) vs. Roxxi Laveaux vs. ODB vs. Angel Williams (Women's Championship)
Black Reign vs. Abyss - Shop of Horrors match.

We have a few questions going into this PPV. The first is, who is Sting's mystery partner? TNA is trying to get us to believe it's Scott Hall but it can't be, Hall was never a World Champion in WWE, he was only Intercontinental Champion. The only other free agents that fit this description would be Rob Van Dam and Booker T, and RVD seems to be having fun doing what he's doing so I'm leaning towards Booker T. Good luck with TNA. Hopefully he doesn't Test/Junior Fatu you.

The other question, for myself anyway, is what the hell is a Shop of Horrors match? I'm sure this Thursday there will be a Black Reign job-out match where they tell us what it is. I look forward to finding it. Hopefully it's not a creation from the mind of Russo, I won't like it as much. Raven could have possibly thought it up? I mean, he did do Hangman's Horror and House of Fun so I could see him using his Mensa sized intelligence to do it again.

Remember, you can also catch me at The Daily Suplex. Beginning at Genesis I will also be posting my PPV Predictions and results there.

Until tomorrow.

Cyber Sunday Predictions

2007-10-28T17:00:00.000-04:00

I'm posting everyday from now on. Even when no real news is there, just whatever.

These predictions could get hairy so bare with me people.

Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy, Shawn Michaels or Mr. Kennedy (WWE Title): Kennedy has no shot in hell after his steroids issue. Shawn Michaels is a definate shoe in for it, but if he does get voted in he won't win because of his knees. Jeff Hardy has a huge shoe in for it too buttttt, he won't win it because of his current title reign. PROBABLE WINNER: RANDY ORTON
Batista vs. Undertaker (World Heavyweight Title) (With Referee of JBL, Stone Cold or Mick Foley): This really doesn't matter. Batista is keeping the title fair and square. We shouldn't drop it to Taker so hastily. Keep this going and you'll have a good feud on your hands. As far as referees go, it's either going to be Foley or Austin. Nobody likes JBL and as Randy Orton so nicely put it, "If they don't like you, they won't vote for you." PROBABLE WINNER: BATISTA
CM Punk vs. BDV, John Morrison, or The Miz - Definately not BDV, people like CM Punk and that's like throwing him to the wolves. The most likely person chosen is Morrison and Morrison will get the title if he does go in. If Miz is voted in, we'll probably see some Balls Mahoney in there but I predict Morrison going in and winning. PROBABLE WINNER: MORRISON
MVP vs. Matt Hardy (US Title) (MMA, Wrestling, or Boxing Match): I'm sure everyone is going to vote MMA or Wrestling because they all want Hardy to win and Boxing doesn't go so great for him. Butttt, Hardy might be dropped tonight after the injury he sustained at Smackdown (which was legit, that huge cut on his head is legit and on accident). His head got caught on Rey Rey's leg brace and he got cut open. Anyway, I think MVP is keeping the title. If they do drop this, this would the second consecutive last minute PPV roster switch because of injury creative would have made. PROBABLE WINNER: MVP
Triple H vs. Umaga (Street Fight, No DQ, or First Blood match): It's definately going to Triple H and it's going to be a First Blood or Street Fight. PROBABLE WINNER: TRIPLE H
Rey Mysterio vs. Finley (Shilleglah on a Pole, Stretcher, or No DQ): You've got to be joking me, what a stupid match. Seriously. All of the concept matches for this suck. This match sucks so much I won't even make a prediction on it.
Halloween Costume Contest (Mickie James, Melina, Maria, Victoria, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Brooke): It's going to break down and there will be no winner. We're going to have a huge cat fight. It'll be pretty funny to watch. PROBABLE WINNER: ALL NON-GAY MEN OF THE WORLD

I hate this PPV.

Oh, and who's ready for Chris Jericho?

My thoughts no a few things .. Lesnar Signs with UFC

2007-10-21T16:02:00.000-04:00

I've got a few things to get off my chest.

1. TNA is going to become the next WCW. With The Outsiders returning and more power hungry wrestlers winning over a very lax owner something bad is bound to happen. Then we've got Vince Russo, one of the main people blamed for the fall of WCW. The whole formula just smells fishy. Something really bad is going to happen and my feelings are if Dixie/Angle/Russo win then TNA will be on a gradual slide and will soon see the same WCW fate. Go Jarrett!

2. ECW is done by the end of the year. There is no salvaging it. It'll become just as insignificant as Heat and Velocity. We might as well start the next book, The Rise and Fall of ECW Pt. 2. It's gonna be unfortunate but what did you expect? They advertise it under ECW but they treat it like it's WWE. Why can't we go back to what ECW was? ECW had an attitude where you could ask fans in the front row to hand you their chair and you wouldn't get pulled aside by Paul Heyman afterward. It was an environment that just bred insanity, which is what ECW was all about. Thanks Vince, for further massacring ECW. It's appreciated.

In better news, it was revealed at UFC 77 last night Brock Lesnar has finally signed a deal with UFC. No details are known about his debut date or his debut opponent. Good luck to him, from what I hear he's really good at it.

School Sucks .. Booker, Sharmell FINALLY Released .. CM Punk, Maria Done .. Couture vs. Emelianenko? .. PPV Prediction Results for BFG and More

2007-10-16T19:44:00.000-04:00

I'm so behind from school, so I apologize if this is really really amazingly long, but when you're behind it's what must be done.

The word is out from WWE.com "King" Booker and "Queen" Sharmell have been released. I'm not sure who didn't see this coming but I know I did. More on releases, Daivari was released as was Teddy Hart, which completely screws up the New Hart Foundation type of thing they were looking for. We shall have to see where this goes.

Maria said in an interview that CM Punk and herself have been broken up for about 4 months. This should be good news to many guys around the world. And chicks as well.

Randy Couture vs. Fedor Emelianenko could still happen. Cage Fighting Championships (CFC) is offering $3 mil to get these two to go at it for them. $1 million up front for each fighter and then the other $1 million going to the winner. I'm cheering and rooting this one, but unfortunately they are going to showing it on PPV and I don't have a shot at buying PPV. This sucks.

My Bound for Glory picks were near perfect! I got them all right except for Jay Lethal vs. Christopher Daniels. I then noticed a pattern which was confirmed later by ewrestlingnews.com, they always let the face win so the people can go home happy. Not one heel won last night, that's a little abnormal and I hope we see some type of revenge from the heels on TNA this week and next week. Hmm, Raven hunting down Abyss anyone?

According to WWE.com Armando Estrada and Vicki Guerrero have been in "talks" about unifying both ECW and Smackdown so all talent can appear on both shows. This could mean one thing, ECW could be once again on it's way out. SciFi hasn't been really impressed with it's rating supposedly although it's one the highest rated shows on their network. This is completely ridiculous. If you're going to combine brands, do it Attitude Era style and have it all together. Obviously this brand extension stuff isn't working. WWE seriously needs a fire lit under it's ass, like TNA getting heavy ratings and moving to Monday night (which, in Vince's words, has "no chance in hell").

This is getting sickening seriously.

No Mercy Predictions

2007-10-07T14:59:00.001-04:00

For some reason this PPV sounds really boring. Anyway, predictions away!

??? vs. ??? (for WWE Championship) - Hmm, the real question is, who's going to be in this match? My feelings are Orton and Kennedy. Kennedy was in a big push prior to his suspension and was set to win the title sometime later in the year or in 2008. Word is Orton was supposed to win it this time around. Another good idea I heard was Jericho vs. Orton, but that seems highly unlikely, although it would be very interesting. PROBABLE WINNER: RANDY ORTON
Batista (c) vs. Khali (World Heavyweight Championship [Punjabi Prison]) - Hmm, stupid gimmick match? I think so. This match just annoys me, the entire idea of a Punjabi Prison match just sickens me, it's something you'd throw Abyss in, not Batista and Khali. Anyway, I'm still pulling for Batista. PROBABLE WINNER: BATISTA
Triple H vs. Uma(n)ga - I still can't get over the fact that William Regal calls Umaga Umanga. But, that's besides the point. This match could get very interesting, with a few run-ins from VKM (not Voodoo Kin Mafia dummy) it should be interesting. My money's on Triple H however. PROBABLE WINNER: TRIPLE H
CM Punk (c) vs. Big Daddy V (ECW Heavyweight Championship): I think I've already made my point known on this match. PROBABLE WINNER: CM PUNK
Finley vs. Rey Mysterio - The build up for this match I've been missing because of field shows with the marching band *shakes head*. Anyway, I'm not really sure so I'll throw this one out randomly. PROBABLE WINNER: REY MYSTERIO
Candice Michelle (c) vs. Beth Phoenix (WWE Women's Championship) - This time around I think Phoenix has Candice's number. Seriously, Phoenix is going to beat some ass in this match no doubt about it. I know I've said this for the past Phoenix vs. Candice matches, but this time I've got an inkling I might be right. PROBABLE WINNER: BETH PHOENIX

Alright, interesting news outside of No Mercy. Hmmm, well James Mitchell is working on a new stable that will include Raven (wow, he's going to be a follower, how sad), Havok, Judas Mesias, and Black Reign. Something tells me this is just a mish-mash or Serotonin is just aligned with them for the meantime and Raven really isn't taking orders from anybody. Anyway, Monster's Ball involving Raven, Black Reign, Abyss, and Rhino. This is gonna be sweet.

The first two-hour iMPACT! rocked! I loved it!

TNA is in talks with a former Intercontinental and European Champion (WWE titles) according to their mobile service (which I need to subscribe to once I get a good phone). And by process of elimination that's either D'Lo Brown and RVD since the other guys are already under WWE contract or are under TNA contract. RVD is open to TNA while D'Lo is still hoping for a new shot with WWE, so we'll see.

I'm done, for now.

Cena Injured .. Possibilites for Replacement Match? .. Michaels might not be returning .. Predictions for Burke/Dreamer tonight

2007-10-02T18:20:00.000-04:00

Well, I guess John Cena was really injured because this afternoon they finally pulled him from the No Mercy card and cancelled his big Last Man Standing match against Randy Orton. They're also going to be stripping him of the title. Which leaves us with this question, who will be in the new match? Of course, we know Randy Orton for a fact will be involved. But, by my going through process of elimination on the roster, I came up with his possible opponent being Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy tends to bust people's shoulders and Orton is "The Legend Killer" so it'll work out great. Plus, Kennedy has absolutely nothing to do at No Mercy, and all they need is one match out of him. He's back from suspension and they aren't going to award him with a title just yet. I'm know for a fact that Orton will get the title this time around. Trust me.

According to word Shawn Michaels may not be returning. The Game has been trying to talk him into it but Michaels just appears to want to stay home and spend time with his family. It's understandable, but don't leave us with such a sour taste in our mouths? Just at least come back for one last retirement match to make everyone happy.

It really doesn't matter who wins the Tommy Dreamer vs. Elijah Burke match tonight as for neither will win the title when they face CM Punk. CM Punk is supposed to drop the title back to John Morrison now that he's off suspension. I'm leaning for Burke to win however, but if Dreamer wins I'm sure that the 'ECW' chant will be heard 'round the world.

New Video (And More Stupid Theories)

2007-10-02T01:00:00.000-04:00

Yes, tonight we got a new Y2J video, which makes me believe that we'll be getting a new one every week until something goes down. The new video now says 8.2.11/SAVIOR_SELF.

So, all together we have:
Save_us.222
8.2.11/SAVIOR_SELF

Am I the only one who noticed a play on words here?
Savior Self = Save Yourself

Maybe he's not coming back at No Mercy? Hmmm. Interesting.

I just heard a pretty outrageous theory, to me anyway, somebody is trying to pass it off as HBK, here is what was said since I couldn't put it in better terms (I got this from ewrestlingnews.com):

The video tonight seemed to be more about HBK than Jericho. It said 8-2-11 alot. H being the 8th letter of the alphabet, B being second, and K being 11th. It also said grand slam, HBK being the first ever grand slam champ. The Savior thing could also have something to do with the ultra religious HBK. It also said big show and no one turns it up for a big PPV like the Showstopper. Last week I'd say was about Jericho, this week seemed to be about HBK.

I just think that's over thinking. So now the possiblities are Chris Jericho, The New Hart Foundation (highly doubted), and HBK (even more highly doubted since HBK wants to stay home with his family longer).

That's about all for now.

Crazy Week in Wrestling

2007-10-01T19:29:00.001-04:00

Here is the week basically in a summary with bullets because if I wrote paragraphs they'd be long and tedious.

Raw:

All of the suspended WWE superstars are going to be off suspension.
Mr. Kennedy is set to be wrestling tonight.
Of course the Triple H vs. Mr. McMahon match.
We'll also be seeing the furthering of the Mr. Kennedy is a McMahon storyline.
More information on the SAVE_US.222.
Return of Stone Cold Steve Austin was a program with Santino

ECW:

Since the ECW roster only has 13 active wrestlers beginning this week they'll be calling up all kinds of people from OVW according to sources to supplement. So, seeing new people will be great.

iMPACT!:

Of course the fact it's going to 2 hours!
We'll be seeing all of our favorite jobbers (which is just a guess since I haven't read the spoilers).

Smackdown:

Suspended wrestlers returning.
New Hart Foundation expected to come up to Smackdown (just not this week but eventually).
What the plans on with Vickie Guerrero. How is she going to handle being interim GM?
What's going to happen to Kristal? Is she moving to Raw?
How is Teddy fairing?

This is a huge week. Look out for some good stuff.

TNA & ECW have same rating .. Jericho or New Hard Foundation? .. BDV is angry

2007-09-26T22:46:00.000-04:00

Since all this Jericho stuff has slowed down news has next to stopped. I've only got one Jericho update. Supposedly they were pitching this SAVE_US.222 for either Jericho or the New Hart Foundation. Something to get people thinking, but by the evidence I've seen it has to be Jericho.

The rating for ECW this week is a 1.1, which is next to the same as iMPACT!'s 1.08 last week. Hmm, could we have a Tuesday/Thursday War on our hand here? That's pretty pathetic.

After the ECW show when BDV was leaving the ring he was being heckled by fans, and he was heckling right back. Yelling at people and pegging people off, Striker is the one who has to basically push him backstage. He almost went after somebody in the audience but luckily Striker and security stopped him. Where does he think he is? Mexico?

Chris Jericho! (My Opinions) .. Kidman Return..In TNA?? .. Orton is Married .. Hardcore Holly Returns? Amazing

2007-09-25T18:26:00.000-04:00

Not really much news today considering everyone's tied up on the Chris Jericho story. I mean, this is truly awesome, amazing. I'm impressed, WWE has done a great job of getting us intrigued again. Firstly, here's the video:

I think everyone is over interpreting this but I am going to bring up some good points.

They mention a ton of Jericho's title matches, they mention his matches for hardcore titles, when he won the heavyweight title, and when he won the IC title. Not to mention the year he won KOR (King of the Ring).
A "Save Us Y2J" poster was seen in the crowd the other night. (SaveUs.222)
Chris Jericho doesn't have a myspace, so don't believe that malarkey. Plus, why would he kill his own storyline? Only rookies like The Naturals do that.
Catman has been seen. Hmm, Lion Heart anyone?
Jericho hasn't slated any book signings for any Mondays in October.
Bookshelf is also mentioned in there somewhere.
Jericho debuted in 1999 interrupting The Rock and according to sources that's mentioned in there.
There is a part that does a very well hidden Jericho-style countdown.
Billy Gun isn't involved in the least. Neither is Gail Kim OR Mr. Kennedy.
There is a voice that says "I'm Back".
7OCT = The date for No Mercy. This is also shown in the video.
Anymore details can be founds here.

Complete insanity. On to other debut news, TNA is going to be debuting a woman wrestler soon, so look out for that on the road to BFG. Billy Kidman has been backstage at the last 2 TNA tapings and could have been backstage at No Surrender and quite possibly tonight. I'll keep you updated on that one. How cool would it be to have Kidman and Raven back together again? They can take Havok under their wing and start a new Flock. Sort of.

The reason Randy Orton hasn't been seen on TV nor at house shows is because he got married over the weekend. Congrats to him :)

Who else was surprised when Hardcore Holly returned? I thought the guy was a goner after him still having discomfort in his elbow. Oh, and wasn't Cody Rhodes supposed to be getting a push? Whatever. Also, did you hear tons of people shout "Kennedy!"?

I'll keep you updated on more Jericho stuff.

EDIT: Steve Austin will be returning on next Monday's Raw. He'll be promoting The Condemned and starting fights like he always does.

Junior Fatu, Killlings, Pacman Up In Air .. Is Teddy Okay? .. Nash, Dawn Marie Return?

2007-09-23T19:39:00.000-04:00

Alrighty, see I'm already keeping my promise. :)

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.

I Need To Speed Up .. TNA stars want to leave .. TNA BFG Women's Division .. Unforgiven Predictions (was I right?) .. and More.

2007-09-22T21:30:00.000-04:00

I seriously need to keep up on this blog. From now on I make a promise to write everyday even if there is no serious news to go around.

Alright, here is what went down with my Unforgiven predictions. I drew it even on this PPV, I thought I was going to have a losing record but I didn't do that bad. Here are the ones I was spot on with.

CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke: This was easy, the "plan" is for the title to go back to Morrison when he's back from suspension. Nobody else is getting this title. MY CHOICE: CM PUNK
Triple H vs. Carlito: Easy enough, he's in the middle of a push so of course he's going to win. MY CHOICE: TRIPLE H
John Cena vs. Randy Orton: I was right technically in this one. Randy DID win by DQ (and get punted to boot) but he didn't win the title. MY CHOICE: RANDY ORTON
Undertaker vs. Mark Henry: Taker in the middle of a push too so of course he was going to win, plus it's a return match. I heard it wasn't that remarkable of a match either. How come all the big guys always look cool but never have good matches? It makes no sense. MY CHOICE: UNDERTAKER

So with that being said, here are the losers.

MVP & Matt Hardy vs. Deuce & Domino: What the heck happened here? I'm not sure what I was thinking saying "Oh yeah, D&D are gonna win." Shouldn't I have realized that odd couples that win titles never lose them until the descension becomes too much? MY CHOICE: DEUCE AND DOMINO
Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix: What was that all about? "All of a sudden"??? Something bad must of happened for this match to end this way. MY CHOICE: BETH PHOENIX
The Great Khali vs. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio: So this is the only way that Batista can win a title? If Rey Rey joins him in the ring? You'd think they'd give the guy that's coming back a push for the title then have him fight Batista over it? That would have made compelling TV. MY CHOICE: THE GREAT KHALI
Cade & Murdoch vs. Kendrick & London: Wow, what was that all about? MY CHOICE: LONDON & KENDRICK

Now let's get to subject of firings and quitting. In WWE firing news Sandman and Marcus Cor Von have been fired. The reasons behind Cor Von is because he hasn't been seen on TV in a long time because of his family problems and I guess WWE has just had enough of it. Supposedly Sandman's was a little out of left field though. He was a model employee and would always offer to help put people over (supposedly), so to everyone backstage it was either a shock or not one depending on who you ask because supposedly creative had nothing for him either. Whatever. Now in the TNA department supposedly there are a few stars who want to leave, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, LAX, and Sonjay Dutt among them. Sabin & Shelley would like to go to Japan because they have the tag titles over there while the others just want out. TNA has told them to wait it out until 2 hour where they'll be getting more TV time (but we know how TNA is about that ..)

The TNA Women's Division's main star will be .. Gail Kim! Yes, she'll be representing the title and it will be based around her, that's not saying she'll win it but she'll be the flagship star of the whole thing. The money drawing name if you will. I think Jackie and Hemme will too since they're all former WWE Divas.

Judas Mesias has only been here a few weeks and already he's got some killer injuries going. During a show he did in Mexico he was doing a dive onto somebody from a 20 foot ladder in the floor but they moved and he had no cushion and he got knocked out. He's also battling some sciatica. His recovery time cuts right into the TNA tapings for the first 2 hour shows. This does not bode well for TNA.

Unforgiven Predictions

2007-09-16T17:51:00.000-04:00

Sorry if I seem a few days behind, I decided to take a quick break from wrestling blogging because of band and school (I'm being jam packed at the moment). As most of you know, tonight is WWE's Unforgiven PPV, featuring the return of the man who can't be destroyed, Undertaker. Here is what I think will go down, from the bottom of the card, up.

MVP & Matt Hardy (c) vs. Deuce and Domino [w/ Cherry] (WWE Tag Team Championship Match): Alright, one of two things could happen here. MVP and Matt Hardy could stop being so sarcastically nice to one another, work together, and pull this thing off. The other thing is that they could pull a Sting and Kurt Angle and turn on each other, ultimately losing their titles. We could also see another Matt Hardy doing all the work and MVP picking up the scraps and winning for them. Personally, I think they'll lose the titles to Deuce and Domino so they can focus more on the US title. PROBABLE WINNERS: DEUCE AND DOMINO
Candice Michelle (c) vs. Beth Phoenix (Women's Championship Match): I'm behind Beth Phoenix on this one 100%. The only possible way Candice Michelle can win this match is by outside involvement (highly unlikely) or just really kicking her butt (which is also highly unlikely). This is Phoenix's push, therefore she shall pick up the victory and the title. PROBABLE WINNER: BETH PHOENIX
Cade & Murdoch (c) vs. London & Kendrick (World Tag Team Championship Match): I'm totally behind London and Kendrick. Since they hold the record for most days holding the other tag title, wouldn't it be fitting if they did that with this title too? Then again I could be bias because I've never really seen Cade & Murdoch wrestle, maybe once I've seen them wrestle. London & Kendrick have already won the title, who says they can't do it again? PROBABLE WINNERS: LONDON & KENDRICK
CM Punk (c) vs. Elijah Burke (ECW Championship Match): CM Punk can't drop the title, he's going back against John Morrison and giving it back to him when he's off suspension. PROBABLE WINNER: CM PUNK
Undertaker vs. Mark Henry: Undertaker is gonna put an end to Mark Henry once and for all. I'm sick of seeing him in the ring going on and on about how he "took out" the Undertaker. I'm sorry, but nobody "takes out" Taker, that's not right. Taker is gonna put him in his place. PROBABLE WINNER: UNDERTAKER
Triple H vs. Carlito: When was the last time Carlito won a match? PROBABLE WINNER: TRIPLE H
The Great Khali (c) vs. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio (World Heavyweight Championship Match) - The Great Khali will keep the title after completely annihilating both Batista and Rey-Rey. In the end though, they will put up a good fight, but I don't think two men can knock Khali. It just doesn't seem right. PROBABLE WINNER: KHALI
John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Match): You can only hold a title for so long until it gets old. Randy will pick up the victory, since Cena's head will be in another place (just like Samoa Joe's at No Surrender in a match he lost). Plus, it's about Randy's time. PROBABLE WINNER: RANDY ORTON

I'll write some more news later tonight, and I'll write tomorrow to let you know if I was correct, or if I wasn't. As usual. =]

TNA No Surrender Right or Wrong?

2007-09-09T22:55:00.000-04:00

Well, the announcement was what we thought, 2 hour iMPACT! starting October 4th. It will air from 9-11 EST. This could bode well for some of the jobbers in TNA (think Lance Hoyt, Raven, and Havok). Unfortunately there was no news on the signing of the "former World Champion" but it has been confirmed they DID sign someone. We're not going to be finding out soon.

Alright, here are the matches I'm right on. Tonight, I actually had a winning record.

Rhino vs. James Storm: This was an easy one. We knew Rhino was gonna win from the get go. Rhino beat him down. And, what did I tell you, Storm was gonna bring alcohol to the ring (in this case a keg). Rhino gored Jackie too, even better. WINNER: RHINO
Kaz vs. Robert Roode: This is not over, trust me. I thought Kaz, but it's not that easy with Robert Roode. Roode was pissed at Ms. Brooks for not really helping him out. I think Kaz might have just made life worse for Ms. Brooks, as much as he doesn't want to admit it. We'll see where this goes, but with more and more people getting mad at Robert Roode for what he's been doing, Kaz is going to have a lot of back up. WINNER: ROBERT ROODE
Black Reign vs. Chris Harris: Chris Harris has just completely had it with this guy, and I don't blame him. And now Black Reign's carrying around a rat called Misty, dude seriously this guy has recessed into his own mind. I like how BR's introduced though, "From the deepest, darkest part of his mind", I think that's a pretty cool way to be introduced. Black Reign did beat him down at the end of the match though, but Harris still pulled it off. Supposedly the match was really uneventful, so it sucked. We did see a change in Harris though, maybe we'll see more of this? WINNER: CHRIS HARRIS
Samoa Joe vs. Christian Cage: Dude, Samoa Joe SNAPPED and I think that's the only reason why I was right. Plus, he snapped because of what Christian Cage did on Thursday to his Samoan Dancer. I can't get over this dude, I was even right on WHY he won. Amazing. WINNER: CHRISTIAN CAGE
Abyss vs. Kurt Angle (c) (For the TNA Heavyweight Title): Dude, Angle took him OUT! And what did I say, Judas Messias was going to have involvement, I can't wait to see how this turns out on iMPACT! WINNER: KURT ANGLE

Now, here is where I was wrong.

Kurt Angle & Sting (c) vs. Team Pacman (Pacman & Ron Killings) (TNA Tag Titles): This one I couldn't believe, just wow. What a one-sided tag team they're going to be. With Killings doing all the work, or K-Kwik as many WWE fans would know him as (I finally did my research on that and I right). But Team Pacman "Got Rowdy" in this one and pulled off the victory. I think this match could lead into a Sting vs. Kurt Angle feud because of what Karen Angle lied about. WINNERS: TEAM PACMAN
Jay Lethal vs. Kurt Angle (c) (TNA X Division Title): Well, I guess Jay Lethal pulled his "B7!" because he did get Kurt Angle's number on this one. This one I wasn't expecting but it's what Kurt Angle gets, now he's got just one title which works out and seems better. Now the Tag Titles are back with an actual tag team and the X Division is back in the X Division. All is calm in the world. WINNER: JAY LETHAL
TNA Tag Team Gauntlet (#1 Contender for Tag Titles): Alright, I started out with LAX, VKM, Team 3D, MCMG, or Triple X as my predicted winners. I later changed it to LAX, Triple X, or Shark Boy & Eric Young. Well, I came amazingly close, Eric Young was the last person eliminated. If I had stuck with MCMG I would have come even closer. But, half way through the match I was started thinking that Tomko & AJ Styles would win and, they did. They beat MCMG. WINNERS: TOMKO & AJ STYLES

Sorry that was so long, but it was a crazy night and not as wonderful as I hoped it would be. They're taping 3 episodes of iMPACT! tomorrow which should last them until they get their 2 hour spot. Hopefully we'll be seeing Raven sometime soon because of the control of his health problems.

Actually Excited For PPV? .. Announcements .. Booker T Hands in Notice .. Ric Flair Retraction .. Suspension Thing Gone Awry .. Change My Mind

2007-09-09T19:00:00.000-04:00

For the first time in my life I'm actually excited for a TNA PPV. For some reason this one just seems like it's going to intrigue me greatly. I'll be using 2xzone.com and TNA.com to get the live updates online. Hopefully they do it fast enough so that I can know who gets eliminated in order during the Gauntlet match. Dude, why the hell do they call it a Gauntlet? That's kinda dumb.

Supposedly the 2 major announcements are the two hours and the signing. Obviously the new person isn't going to be there because nobody backstage even knows.

Booker T handed in his 2 weeks notice because he doesn't want to serve his 60 day suspension (so he definately was suspended). I don't see why he didn't quit long ago, he's as old as Raven and has tons of other things working for him outside of WWE. So, just go, please. And bring that skank of a wife with you.

Ric Flair got asked in an interview if he really quit WWE to which he replied that he didn't. He said he's going back to that same station next week where he'll talk more about it.

This whole suspension thing has gotten crazy, we still have no clue who has been suspended. Which is just out of control. At this point, I really just don't care.

I change my mind on my decision for the Tag Team Gauntlet match set for tonight. I'm taking a few people off my list and adding some. The ones I originally chose were Motor City Machineguns, Triple X, LAX, VKM, and Team 3D. I'm taking off MCMG, VKM, and Team 3D. MCMG needs to do more work on air, VKM has better things to do, and Team 3D need to finish off The Steiners. I ended up watching The Road To No Surrender last night and EY and Shark Boy won a match for the #20 slot, which EY is getting. I'm throwing them in there as the dark horses. REVISED PROBABLE WINNER(S): Triple X, LAX, or EY & Shark Boy

See you guys DIRECTLY AFTER the PPV (for the first time) with the results and if I was right or wrong. =]

Oh, and by the way ..

2007-09-08T12:06:00.001-04:00

Happy Birthday Raven!

Raven turns 43 today.

Major TNA Announcement .. No Surrender Predictions .. Raven Feeling Better

2007-09-08T11:39:00.000-04:00

Hello hello, I finally have TNA news. =] TNA has been teasing at a major announcement set to be announced this Sunday at No Surrender. Obviously it's going to have something to do with the 2 hours, but they're also talking about a new wrestler secretly being signed and that they will be announced this Sunday. I'm leaning toward it being Brock Lesnar, but I'm not sure at this moment in time. From what I know last time they had announced Kurt Angle, it would only be fitting if Brock Lesnar was announced in the same manner as his friend. Judas Messias a possibility?

Now, here are my predictions for this Sunday at No Surrender:

10 Team Gauntlet Match (VKM vs. LAX vs. Team 3D vs. Motor City Machineguns vs. Triple X vs. Tomko & AJ Styles vs. Sonjay Dutt & Petey Williams vs. Raven & Havok vs. EY & Shark Boy vs. Lance Hoyt and (the debuting) Jimmy Rave): This is sort of a tough one but there are some you can automatically get rid of, Hoyt & Rave, EY & Shark Boy, Serotonin (at least what's left of it), Sonjay & Petey, and Tomko & AJ Styles. So that leaves us with LAX, Team 3D, MCMG, VKM, and Triple X. My prediction would be anyone of those, my money weighing heavily on Team 3D so they actually have a reason to fight with The Steiners over something. PROBABLE WINNER(S): VKM, LAX, TEAM 3D, MCMG, OR TRIPLE X
No Disqualification Match (Black Reign vs. Chris Harris): Chris Harris is definately going to find some crazy way to win, he'll find a way to get into the mind of Black Reign, which I think from his outburst on iMPACT! on Thursday he already has. Black Reign will put up a good fight, but Chris Harris will come out on top. PROBABLE WINNER: CHRIS HARRIS
Kazarian vs. Robert Roode: Not only is Robert "It Pays To Be" Roode going to lose his girl, he's gonna lose this match too. Kaz just has a lot of years on him and a lot of agility. I'm all for Kaz in this match, he's not my favorite guy in the world but hey, anybody is better than Robert Roode the friggin' woman beater. We all know Traci is gonna get involved, so either she'll get involved and run off with Kaz or get involved and cost Kaz the match. She'll be getting a beating at the end no matter what. Bringing up that new point, I change my mind Roode is gonna win. PROBABLE WINNER: ROBERT ROODE
Rhino vs. James Storm: Rhino fell off the wagon? James, have you checked yourself lately? I'm leaning toward Storm coming to the ring drunk off his ass, drunk to the point where Sandman or Steve Austin would be proud. He's probably gonna offer Rhino a beer and Rhino is just gonna beat him down. PROBABLE WINNER: RHINO
Samoa Joe vs. Christian Cage: With Christian's little lackeys having gotten their asses beat the beginning of the night they're not going to be happy. Either of these things could happen, we know they'll be getting involved to begin with and Samoa Joe could thwart it or he could just get his ass beat. His mind is also not in the right place after the attack on one of his Samoan dancers. Christian Cage on this one. PROBABLE WINNER: CHRISTIAN CAGE
X Division Championship Match (Jay Lethal vs. Kurt Angle [c]): Kurt Angle. He'll keep it. Has to. Just to rub it in everyone's faces. PROBABLE WINNER: KURT ANGLE
Tag Team Title Match (Team Pacman {Pacman Jones & Ron Killings} vs. Kurt Angle & Sting [c]): Once again, just to rub it in everyone's faces Kurt Angle & Sting will retain the titles. I thought Pacman wasn't supposed to be wrestling? PROBABLE WINNERS: KURT ANGLE & STING
Heavyweight Championship Match (Abyss vs. Kurt Angle [c]): Judas Messias will get involved and cost Abyss the match. Or, Abyss could win and then feud with Judas over it, which I highly doubt. Kurt Angle will win just to rub. PROBABLE WINNER: KURT ANGLE

That's how that goes. According to sources Raven's health problems have slowed down so we'll be seeing him on TV a lot more often, which makes me very excited. =]

Test Released .. Flair Hands in Notice .. Benoit Had Brain Damage

2007-09-05T14:35:00.000-04:00

TNA released Andrew Martin today. Supposedly he didn't mesh with anyone backstage that much, which means he was a major ass. Isn't he known for that though? Supposedly they asked him to shrink up a little bit muscle wise. Never thought you'd hear a wrestling company say that.

It's become public that Ric Flair handed in his 2-week notice a few weeks ago. WWE hasn't granted his release yet and are doing everything they can to keep him though. Speaking of signing people, there is a HIGH chance that Chris Jericho will return to WWE after the amount of money they supposedly offered him.

It turns out Chris Benoit had severe brain damage when he killed his wife & son and then himself. According to the doctor who did the examination his brain resembled that of a "85-year-old Alzheimer's patient". I feel that it could have been a huge contributing factor.

Henry Not Leaving .. JR Up In The Air .. WWE Return News .. McMahons To Become Regulars .. Names Mentioned As Suspended on Wikipedia

2007-09-03T12:31:00.000-04:00

Alright, now we've got some decently normal, non-release/suspension related news.

Mark Henry inked a new deal that extends his contract so that he's not leaving after Unforgiven which would give Taker and himself a better storyline. I would think that they'd make this storyline longer just so they can build Taker up some speed after his return at Unforgiven. Then he'll move on to other stuff.

Speaking of contracts, JR's one year contract is about to expire and according to sources there have been no talks with him, but they also haven't been working on someone to take his place. Nothing much else is known at this point but when word comes around I'll let you know.

Now some WWE return news, opposite direction than what we've heard. WWE might be trying to rush Shawn Michael's return which is something that HBK isn't too keen on. They're still working on trying to bring him back though so we'll see where this goes. Chris Jericho is also in talks to return to WWE, and he's probably going to be getting a deal that's more to his liking than anybody else's. His agent, Barry Bloom, says that Jericho has a lot of leverage. I'm sure that he'll use it to his advantage. Unfortunately, it's not going to be a "right away" return, just like HBK's. I'll keep you updated.

After tonight Stephanie, Linda, and Shane are going to become regulars to WWE television again. They're also thinking about bringing the fact that Steph & HHH are married back to TV because everyone already knows as is.

Wikipedia mentioned a few suspended names. They've got King Booker, Umaga, William Regal, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, and John Morrison. Sharmell isn't going to be around either until KB comes back.

This Is Friggin' INSANITY!

2007-09-02T22:23:00.000-04:00

Not only are we suspending people, which is supposedly, according to Stephanie McMahon at yesterday's ECW/Smackdown talent meeting at about 13 (this could be wrong or they're BSing the media).

WWE released Cryme Tyme today after an incident that involved them and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch at a house show. So there goes the fun and games that were actually making Raw interesting. Eugene was released too as previously reported. Are they trying to clear out the locker rooms or what?

Tommy Dreamer has taken Simon Dean's place in the interim until they find a replacement. They're thinking either Ty Bailey or Val Venis, Ty works in the office and Val has been in WWE forever. I seriously want to see Tommy on TV and I think Val Venis just needs to stop jobbing and find something else to do.

Batista wants to sue the media for saying his name in the whole pharmacy thing. He says he never bought anything from them and he's pissed off that Sports Illustrated and other places mentioned his name.

The business has fallen into turmoil in the span of a week. My question is, what's going to happen to TNA?

People We KNOW Are Suspended (Spoilers) .. WWE Spoils It's Own Storyline, Dummies

2007-09-02T13:51:00.001-04:00

Alright, from information I've gathered, we have a few people that we know for a fact are suspended. Mr. Kennedy and Umaga are said to be going to a Raw house show. Chris Masters is the mysterious 60 day person because only Randy Orton and himself were doubletime offenders. Supposedly Randy wasn't suspended because he fessed up months ago, which everyone thinks is complete bull, and I do too. It's just because he's in that high profile story line. Simon Dean was fired, so that handles him.

We also know John Morrison is suspended which leads us into the SPOILER ALERT. According to WWE.com CM Punk is the new ECW champion, which means Morrison was suspended. On Monday it's supposed to be Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga, and Umaga was mentioned on the list so I think we already know where that title is going. So out of 11, we already know the fate of 7 (read down for why there are 7, not 6 if you've been keeping score). We'll probably find out more soon enough.

The 11th person who got suspended was for missing their flight, not steroids like everyone thinks, supposedly anyway.

On to other sports news that interests me, Clay Buchholz threw a no-hitter for the Sox and a Pats player is suspended 4 games for the same thing WWE has been suspending it's wrestlers for. This is getting crazy man.

Eugene got released too, currently it's not known why, even to him. It could be because he was suspended in 2005 for a Wellness violation and he's considered a "liability". That's just my thinking anyway. It's a good theory too, we'll find that out later I guess.

UFC Fighter Fired (This Is Great, Seriously)

2007-09-01T18:29:00.000-04:00

I got this from The Daily Suplex.

Dave Meltzer reported at WrestlingObserver.com that UFC president Dana White has confirmed that Renato Sobral has been released from his contract.

Sobral was involved in a controversial match that did not air on the UFC 74 pay-per-view. Sobral choked out his opponent David Heath and refused to immediately release the hold. Sobral and Heath had exchanged words at the weigh in.

After Sobral released the choke, Heath was unconscious and twitching on the mat.

Why do I find that so amazingly awesome? Is it because I'm a sick twisted freak? Or because it proves that UFC is just insanely awesome. You be the judge.

And My Smile Faded ..

2007-08-31T18:53:00.000-04:00

That whole Samoa Joe thing is a rumor. Now I'm disappointed.

That's what I get I guess.

-Amanda

Whoa Whoa Whoa .. What?

2007-08-31T01:16:00.000-04:00

I just read on the card for No Surrender and it will be Kurt Angle vs. Jay Lethal for the X Division title. Didn't Christopher Daniel's recently win a gauntlet to be #1 Contender for that title? What happened here?

More Information On The Wellness Bust

2007-08-30T22:30:00.000-04:00

Here is an article that I got off eWrestlingNews.com. I'm sure this'll explain things better than I can.

- At this point, no names have been confirmed to be suspended by WWE.
Earlier today, WWE did confirm that 10 unnamed WWE superstars had been
suspended. Late this afternoon, The New York Daily News revealed several WWE
superstars' names that came up in the Albany, NY DA's investigation into
Signature Pharmacy. Here are the names that The NY Daily News revealed:

Randy Orton, Charles Haas, Adam "Edge" Copeland, Robert "Booker"
Huffman, Shane Helms, Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci, Anthony "Santino Marella"
Carelli, John "Morrison" Hennigan, Darren "William Regal" Matthews, Ken
"Kennedy" Anderson and Chavo Guerrero.

- Later this evening, ESPN named more superstars that were clients of
Signature Pharmacy. The names ESPN revealed are:

Shoichi Funaki, Dave "Batista" Bautista, Chris "Masters" Mordetsky in
addition to Edge, Morrison and Helms who were previously mentioned.

- Around 7PM this evening, The New York Daily News updated its article
adding Eddie "Umaga" Fatu to the list of clients for Signature Pharmacy. SI.com
also issued a detailed list of WWE superstars receiving shipments of drugs which
you can read here on the site.

- So far, the WWE is refusing to list of suspended names but they have
confirmed they issued the suspensions based on independent information received
by the Albany DA. WWE is the first organization to reprimand its employees in
the Signature Pharmacy scandal. Investigators say they expect numerous stars
from Major League Baseball and The NFL to emerge soon as well.

It's obvious that this has rocked WWE to the core at a very bad time
for the company as they prepare for the Congressional hearings. We will keep you
up to date on any breaking information as soon as it becomes available.

I'll keep you updated too.

10 WWE Stars Suspended

2007-08-30T18:32:00.000-04:00

Dude, I'm amazed. Seriously, WWE is sort of stepping up to the plate now and I guess they aren't afraid to give their talent the finger. Which is excellent because they've been needing to do that for a while. I've got a list here of names that were "supposedly" involved in this. I got this list of names from eWrestlingnews.com so don't blame me if they're wrong and don't hold me accountable, they're the first names I've read so I figured I'd pass them along. If I read a different list or if I see names multiple times we'll know something's up but I'll post every new list I see.

And the supposed victims are: Randy Orton, Charlie Haas , Edge, King Booker, Shane Helms, Mike Bucci (Simon Dean), Santino Marella, John Morrison, William Regal, Mr. Kennedy and Chavo Guerrero. I'm laughing right now because some of these names I highly doubt and I think it's odd that a guy with a neck injury is suspended when he's already out until mid-2008 anyway (Shane Helms). And Edge is out too with an injury so .. I wonder how they'll tack that on. I just think this list is funny as hell though and definately disputable. I'm just too lazy to dispute them right now but about 75% of this has to be wrong.

Also, tonight and next week I will be watching TNA iMPACT! because of the plain fact I'm bored and tonight the Motor City Machine Guns are wrestling. Next week Raven's wrestling so it'll be a fun little time watching TNA. I'm also going to see what's supposed to be happening at No Surrender since I haven't heard of any matches on and why they're on it. We'll just have to see.

Summerslam Rights .. and Wrongs

2007-08-28T19:13:00.001-04:00

Hey, I really didn't do that bad this time! Let's see my run down ...
Here are the ones that are correct:

Kane vs. Finley - I didn't offer a opinion therefore I was right either way. Obviously I was leaning Kane. WINNER: Kane / MY CHOICE: No effin' clue
Uma(n)ga vs. Mrrrrrr. Kennedy vs. Carlito - I made two choices for this one, Umaga or Kennedy. And Umaga came out on top and on Raw we saw exactly why. Because Hardy is back and they're bringing that storyline back. WINNER: UMA(N)GA / MY CHOICE(S): UMA(N)GA or MR. KENNEDY
Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero - I don't need to explain. WINNER: REY REY / MY CHOICE: REY REY
Diva's Battle Royal - Now this one I was surprised I got even the bottom four remotely right. I said it would come down to two divas from Raw and two divas from Smackdown. I got the two Raw ones exactly, Melina & Beth Phoenix (who went on to win it). The two Smackdown ones were Michelle McCool (one of my choices) and Torrie Wilson (not one of them). I thought Victoria would be there rather than Torrie, but I think I was close enough. I was leaning really hard towards Beth, and I guess I was right. WINNER: BETH PHOENIX / MY CHOICE(S): VICTORIA, **BETH PHOENIX**, MELINA or MICHELLE MCCOOL
Beer Bash - No brainer. WINNER: STONE COLD / MY CHOICE (WHICH WAS MADE WHEN MVP CAME TO THE RING WITH THE BEER): STONE COLD
Triple H vs. King Booker - Refer to Rey vs. Chavo. WINNER: TRIPLE H / MY CHOICE: TRIPLE H
The Great Khali vs. Batista - I was right, but not in the way I thought. I thought Batista would get a pin and win the title but obviously I believe it was a DQ of some sort (I don't remember and I don't have the results right in front of me at the moment) so the title didn't change hands. I was still right thought because Batista did win. WINNER: BATISTA / MY CHOICE: BATISTA

So, those were the ones I was right on, there were only two I was wrong on and I don't understand what the hell is going through WWE's minds with these but here goes.

CM Punk vs. John Morrison - Alright, I have no clue what the hell happened here but obviously it wasn't normal. Now we know it's just to push BDV so it was basically a BS Summerslam "Yay Let's Give Joey and Taz Something To Do" match. I feel really bad for Taz and Joey, all they do is sit there and doing nothing and twiddle their thumbs except for one match. Why didn't they fall asleep like I do in Math class? WINNER: JOHN MORRISON / MY CHOICE: CM PUNK
John Cena vs. Randy Orton - I was all for the RKO but the FU stood through and now I'm just annoyed. I'll never deny John Cena's talent for a minute, but they need to do something here. I mean the matches for all these titles now are just BS. Oh man I wish I was in Creative, I'd get the ball rolling here. Oh I'd be wonderful. :) But that'll never happen. Anyway, the result of this match pissed me off, what's next for Cena? Probably something boring. WINNER: JOHN CENA / MY CHOICE: RANDY ORTON

That is as far as that goes. I hate to give away a spoiler but Raven is going to be on next Thursday's ( Sept. 6) episode of TNA iMPACT! facing Samoa Joe. I'm not going to go into details about what happened in the match but maybe we'll see Raven get into this whole tango with Samoa Joe and all those homeboys. Or is my buddy gonna stay a jobber? I wish I knew.

Quoth Mander,
Nevermore
(Heck yes I just ripped him off and I will be until I get bored)

Summerslam Predictions

2007-08-26T18:07:00.000-04:00

Ahh, my non-informed opinions. (In Order from Beginning to End of Show .. I think) ..

Kane vs. Finley - This is really just a time killer match (you can tell) so I really don't know who is gonna win on this one. I do know we'll see a Hornswoggle/Noble run in which could make this match anyone's ball game. Plus, this is probably filling in for the Matt Hardy vs. MVP match that won't happen because of MVP's heart condition. PROBABLE WINNER: No effin' clue.
Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero - It has to be Rey-Rey, you don't come back to a loss unless you're a jobber. I mean yeah, Chavo has been going crazy but still, he'll put up a good fight but Rey-Rey will come out on top. Speaking of which, Rey Rey was on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld on Friday. PROBABLE WINNER: Rey Rey
Diva's Battle Royal - Once again, anyone's ball game. I have no clue. It will come down to at least one chick from Raw and one chick from Smackdown. There isn't a enough time on ECW to have a women's champion. I think we'll also see some guy involvement too (think Miz, Dykstra, Mahoney, Wang Yang). It'll come down to either Beth Phoenix or Melina vs. McCool or Victoria. PROBABLE WINNER: Phoenix, Melina, McCool, or Victoria
Triple H vs. King Booker - Triple H is the King of Kings. And this is one of those "you don't lose on your return match when you're a headliner" type of deals. PROBABLE WINNER: Triple H
Umaga (or Umanga as Regal so eloquently states) vs. Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Kennedy vs. Carlito (nothing special?) - Damn. Really hard one. Ummm, let's see. I think Uma(n)ga is gonna keep it because this is basically gonna come down to Kennedy & Carlito beating the snot out of one another for 5 minutes while Uma(n)ga waits in the shadows and strikes (like he did on Monday). There is also a sly chance that Kennedy could win since they've been trying to push him. PROBABLE WINNER: Uma(n)ga or Kennedy
John Morrison vs. CM Punk - "You're time is up, my time is now." PROBABLE WINNER: CM Punk
The Great Khali vs. Batista - Batista, after that display on Friday and the fact he can counter the claw now and knowing that once you take Khali off his vertical base he's worthless. Batista allllllll the way. PROBABLE WINNER: Batista
John Cena vs. Randy Orton - I'm leaning toward Randy Orton. John's almost at a year and it seriously just needs to change hands. Fans are getting pissed off and I think WWE is beginning to sense that. Plus, the word on the street is that HHH is supposed to feud with Orton over the title, which would be something to see. PROBABLE WINNR: Orton

Alright, I'm done. I'll get back tomorrow to see if I was right. There is also word (thanks to everyone's favorite Boston Rock Radio station WAAF) that there is going to be a dark match main event rematch tomorrow prior to Raw between Cena and Orton. No word on who will win the match however.

So it has been written, so it shall come to pass.
Quoth Mander,
Nevermore.

My Smear Campaign Against TNA Continues

2007-08-25T22:14:00.001-04:00

Oh yes it does. I haven't really read anything interesting but I made some observations about WWE that I'll post later but, I found this insanely interesting. I will copy/paste this from the Daily Suplex because I can't put it any better:

TNA favorite Samoa Joe is telling people close to him that he'd rather sign an
entry level WWE contract, around $50,000 a year than re-sign with TNA with his
current contract.

Hahahahahahahahhaahaha. Does that tell you anything about TNA? Yes it does. Excellent. Alright, on to my observations.

I noticed recently they're trying to push the ECW Originals, thank God. They seriously need it, I mean Tommy Dreamer is basically jobbing to BDV but still we're seeing him. Hopefully he'll go further into his little search for the title after CM Punk robs it from Morrison. Stevie Richards and Kevin Thorn is quite interesting and it's nice push/angle to bring in. Hopefully that goes further.

Isn't John Morrison starting to sound loads like Raven? With all the poetry and shit. I think Raven should come over for one show and they should have a Def Poetry Jam and see who wins. I think Raven will drop the bomb, his intellectual Vietnam. :)

That's about it.

Yay, More Nancy Grace .. Ashley Massaro on Survivor

2007-08-20T19:15:00.000-04:00

Who isn't excited for Nancy Grace's one hour look on wrestling? I'm so excited to listen to the media, once again, smear wrestling. It's going to be so wonderful. Especially with the media's best friends Marc Mero and Chyna. I'm so excited to see this. *sigh*

Ashley Massaro is going to be on Survivor which is premiering on Sept. 20th. Oh yay, let's watch.

So much TV, so little time.

Matt Bentley on Between The Ropes

2007-08-16T21:35:00.000-04:00

Matt Bentley shoots on BetweenTheRopes.com. UFC fighter Joe Stevenson is on there too. Pretty sweet. Give it a listen.

I Hate TNA

2007-08-16T21:02:00.000-04:00

Seriously, I was thinking about it today and I hate TNA. They just don't develop characters right and they spread themselves too thin. They hype ex-WWE guys more than they hype TNA Originals. Like Raven, he's a great wrestler and promo cutter and deserves some stuff. Matt Bentley was promising, but they fudged up the Serotonin storyline so first Matt, and then Jonnie, and then Raven. It's just how things are gonna go down. And, hopefully, we see them go to WWE, maybe not in the same way but Raven will always be Raven and I'll love to see him back in WWE. He has a better show on ECW as an ECW Original. Can you say Raven/Dreamer storyline all over again? I do.

Tonight, August 16th, is my last episode of TNA. They have disappointed me and thrown wool over my eyes so that I don't see what they're about. Plus, they don't have a drug testing policy. I'd rather them having a drug testing policy. Therefore, I choose WWE.

Way to fall short TNA. From now on I'll only be following Raven/Havok news from TNA.

I Just Noticed This

2007-08-16T19:28:00.000-04:00

There is no interesting news but I did notice this. If you want to watch The Great Khali acting watch The Longest Yard. He's the crazy football player who is in solitary.

5 TNA Stars Released

2007-08-15T23:07:00.000-04:00

5 TNA stars were released today. Which is kind of incredible considering the fact that one of them is one of my favorite people.

The people are:
-The Damaja
-Basham
-Brother Runt (who didn't see that coming?)
-Matt Bentley (Martyr from Serotonin)
-Jerry Lynn (He asked to be released)

There goes Serotonin. New member? Or are they done and Raven is going back to his old wrestling ways? I wanna know.

Jerry Lynn is probably the most surprising one though, considering he asked for it.

Lesnar to TNA .. Eric on BB8 Worked for WWE .. Congress Finally Catchs TNA

2007-08-15T18:41:00.000-04:00

Word on the street is that Dixie Carter has been having secret meetings with Brock Lesnar to bring him to TNA. This is something I'd love to see. I know Lesnar and Angle had a feud going in WWE, do you think they'd bring that back in TNA as well?

I'm not sure how many people watch Big Brother 8 but America's Player, Eric, worked at WWE headquarters for a while. He said it was a dream job and that he was working 120 hour weeks.

Congress has finally caught up with TNA. They finally requested records from TNA on their "drug testing policy". Excellent. They also asked NWA as well. I'd love to see this.

Well, I'm gonna go enjoy a big glass of milk with Angle, who afterward will take 3 Viagra (yes The Rock said this).

My TNA Predictions and if I was wrong

2007-08-13T16:05:00.000-04:00

I made predictions for Hard Justice and now we'll see if I was right or wrong.

MCMG vs. Triple X vs. Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal - Dammmnn was I off on this one. I said Triple X but it was Dutt & Lethal. Not something I expected.

Kaz vs. Raven - This just had to be the way it ended. Kaz won. Hopefully Raven & Serotonin move on and start wrestling more with better things in their future rather than being jobbers. At least Raven tried to get him back.

Rhino vs. James Storm - Wow, first one I'm right on. I said James Storm and that's what's up. I think that this is just gonna keep going.

VKM vs. LAX - I was so close to being right. VKM won until Hector Guerrero came around and said that VKM had cheated because Roxy threw powder in Hernandez's face. Guess what? They overturn it and LAX wins. That pissed me off.

Eric Young vs. Robert Roode - I was so close on this one. Eric Young lost, but still T&Fed Ms. Brooks. I was close.

Chris Harris vs. Black Reign - I seriously have no clue what the hell happened on this one. It just was a hardcore promo for Black Reign. He tried to kill Harris but luckily some people came out. Reallllly dumb and something that just sucked.

3D vs. Steiners - Who didn't see this ending with Steiners winning? Hopefully all this Steiner vs. 3D stuff is over and we get something new for both of them.

Pacman annoys me.

Christian Coalition vs. Abyss's Coalition - Once again, this should be all over. Christian should just lay off Abyss now. Abyss just proved he pwned hardcore and that Christian sucks therefore back off.

Angle vs. Samoa Joe - Sucked. Seriously. I hope Kurt Angle just starts losing titles left and right. It'll be great. Also, was this an elaborate plan set up on her first visit or was this just a really quick "Hey let's screw over Joe" thing. I wanna know.

Onto other news:

Sylvan Grenier got released. He was supposed to have a storyline but they pushed it back and then I guess they decided not to do it. Oh well.

Benoit Mentioned on Flavor Flav's Roast

2007-08-12T22:27:00.000-04:00

Wow, I just heard the stupidest thing ever. I was watching The Roast of Flavor Flav and Jimmy Kimmel said that "Chris Benoit was a better father than Flav." Seriously not funny. Go die.

Michael Cole is Fired

2007-08-12T13:17:00.001-04:00

From what I hear he gave Vince McMahon's "child" away. He spoiled a story AND it was Vince's. Yeah, Nanananana, nanananana, hey hey hey hey gooooodbyyyyyeeee.

I Have A Burning Question

2007-08-12T12:21:00.000-04:00

My question is, is Raven vs. Kazarian preshow? It certainly doesn't deserve to be pre-show. I think that this should of gotten a little more airtime because they're both really good wrestlers and it would have been insanely interesting. I understand Raven has a thyroid problem but from what I can tell he's gonna start wrestling again, has anyone noticed the blonde hair is gone? He just looked like he used to, maybe a little bigger because of the thyroid but I wanna see more of him, he's a good wrestler. Maybe when TNA goes 2 hours? I know that WWE is two hours and I think I see just about everyone at least once every two weeks. Seriously, they still let Val Venis on TV.

It just makes me feel badddd. TNA is listing it on the final match card for Hard Justice, wouldn't they not announce it if it was on the preshow? I have no clue how TNA works so it'll be interesting.

What This Restraining Order Means for Pacman

2007-08-10T18:17:00.000-04:00

It is finally official, the Tennessee Titans have filed a Restraining Order against Adam "Pacman" Jones to bar him from going to Hard Justice this Sunday. But, what does this mean to everyone? Well, it's too late to contest anything now so I guess we definately won't see him debut at Hard Justice and possibly not next week the way things in the judicial system roll. I want to know what TNA is going to do to fill in for all this? Perhaps add another last second match to get more people to watch? I don't know but it would be interesting to see.

Could TNA also get sued for signing Pacman knowing that he wasn't allowed through his Titans contract? That's another good question I want to see answered.

Konnan Kidney Rejection .. Pacman Has Obstacles .. Why I Love Don West .. Comparing the 2007 Roster to the '06 Red Sox Team

2007-08-10T16:10:00.000-04:00

According to reports Konnan is rejecting his donor kidney. He's heading out to San Diego to see what they can do about it. I'm not much of a religious person but if you are seriously keep him in your mind. He needs it.

Pacman ain't getting off so easy. Titans have put up a restraining order that is preventing him from even showing up at Hard Justice. That's all I really know and remember but when I get more I'll get back to ya.

Don West is effin' crazy and he makes me laugh so much. Watch TNA Today and you get to see Don West's Comeback Special, which is all 12 DVDs from 2005 for the PPVs and the 2 PPV DVDs from '04. For only 59.95. Insanity. And the way they conducted the whole thing was hilarious. It's a must watch even if you don't plan on buying anything.

I started thinking today about the Red Sox vs. Wrestling. I came up with this. The Red Sox in the '06 season started out really strong, they were insanely good and it was a massive tie with the Yankees until half way through the year, when one of the most important people on the team, Jason Varitek, had to get knee surgery. Then soon, everyone else dropped like flies and the Red Sox suffered. Now, the 2007 Roster for WWE was doing really good up until about the middle of the year, when WWE's Premiere "King of Kings" got injured with a KNEE/LEG injury and had to go out. Then it was all downhill from there. Do you see a pattern? I most certainly do.

NOTE: I don't blame Triple H for all this, I know there are some powers that are out of our control but it was one thing I noticed.

Wow, what a show Pacman .. Raven vs. Kaz Yay =D .. Explain me this .. Final Card (With the matches nobody cares about) .. Thoughts on Impact!

2007-08-09T23:27:00.000-04:00

Wow, what a debut for Pacman Jones. I'm so scared of him. Let's see a better "debut" on Sunday shall we?

Alright, I'm now a happy little girl and really want to buy the new TNA pay-per-view. We've got Raven vs. Kaz, with hopefully Serotonin at ringside. Here is the entire card for the Hard Justice PPV. Remember, I got this Wikipedia but Wikipedia was right on this entire thing.

Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe // Winner Takes All (IGWP Title, TNA Heavyweight, X Division, Tag Team) - Dumbest idea this side of dumb ideas. I hate the idea of a 1 wrestler having all the titles, much less 2 wrestlers wrestling for all the titles. The original idea was ridiculous and so is this. Please, end this. Fallen Angel gets X Division, Tag Team goes to the Dudley's, and the other ones I just don't care.
Team 3D vs. The Steiners - I can't wait to see this. Seriously, I think this will be amazing. So much bad blood, so much goodness. =D
James Storm vs. Rhino // Bar Room Brawl - Damnnn kid this is gonna be good. According to The Daily Suplex it's going to be filmed in an actual bar, a definate "I wanna see this so effin' bad" match.
LAX vs. VKM - Initials vs. Initials. Yay. What is the point of this match anyway?
Triple X vs. Motor City Machine Guns - Dude, I am insanely excited to see this match. Triple X are great and we all know how I feel about MCMG so that's about it on that. I just really want to see this.
Robert "It Pays To Be" Roode vs. Showtime Eric Young // Loser gets Tarred & Feathered - Go Eric! Everyone loves you! .. I think. At least we don't have to pay to be Eric Young. You're free =D
The Punisher Andrew Martin, Sting, & Abyss vs. The Christian Coalition // Doomsday Chamber of Blood Match - Longest match name I've ever seen, but should be great. Well, doesn't beat the original name of the House of Fun match, "Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match". Wow. It'll be really great though. You have to bleed to win and you can't excape and if you want to you will be torn to shreds. Excellent ideas Abyss.

Now somebody decided to go on Wikipedia and screw it up but Raven vs. Kaz was there so all they're doing is just putting up the "main" part of the card. Hopefully that get's updated because it's annoying how much un-airtime this match is getting. In my eye's it's a good feud and should be mentioned. There was another match listed but it was taken down too.

Can you explain me something? TNA said they would sign no more people until 2 hours starts. Then how can you explain Pacman, Andrew Martin, and Morgan? Jeez.

Impact! tonight was pretty good. Not great but I got to see myself some Raven so I was happy. This Kurt Angle/Karen/Samoa thing is just dumb. End it. Before I just stop watching. Also, where is Serotonin? Why didn't they go with Raven? Has he changed again?

Bad News

2007-08-08T22:14:00.000-04:00

You know the wrestling news sites? Yeah they completely kill my computer so I can only report/comment on what's going on on TV and and what TNA Today has to say. Plus, reading them annoys me because I read the same redundancy over and over again.

"Showtime" Eric Young vs. Robert Roode in a Humiliation Match. This could be good.

Maybe CM Won't Get Screwed .. Rene Dupree's release notes .. Heidenreich Pissed Off .. I was wrong (again) .. Real Reason Jeff's Gone

2007-08-07T17:56:00.000-04:00

Hmm, maybe CM Punk won't get screwed tonight. I hope he doesn't, he needs this. I would love to see him get the title at Summerslam because isn't that what this match is for? Qualifying for Summerslam?

It's going around now that the reason Rene Dupree was released is because he's tested positive for steroids in the past. He also asked to leave before they decided to release him. Craziness I say, craziness.

Heidenreich is amazingly pissed off at WWE. He did a crazy interview, and the link is here.

Alright, I'll admit it I was wrong. Triple H wasn't coming back and Kennedy didn't really do much of anything last night except remind us of his annoying last name. This paternity thing though I was not expecting. And damn William Regal from taking a hardcore Raw away from us, that bastard. Anyway, Triple H wasn't there either. I'm pretty sure and hoping he'll show up during Booker T's crowning ceremony and save Jerome from having to do that.

And now supposedly Jeff was suspended because of backstage immaturity. Nice.

If TNA Goes 2 Hours

2007-08-06T18:05:00.000-04:00

Here is what's going to happen if TNA goes 2 hours (which it is by the way). It will be filmed bi-weekly with one being filmed on Monday and the other on Tuesday.

What a buzz kill. You stay in the same arena, why not just film every week? Better yet, draw me in and go live on Thursday. You have no more competition on Thursday anymore. Do it.

TNA Finally Signs Pacman

2007-08-06T12:57:00.000-04:00

Dumbies.

Supposedly Title Storyline

2007-08-05T23:53:00.000-04:00

I figured I'd get this out. I've heard this circulating so I figured I'd say something.

John Cena is going to lose the title to Orton which will open up a story line between Orton and HHH. Supposedly.

Also, on Raw tomorrow Triple H might be starting his beef with King Booker.

All just speculation however.

Taker Returning? .. TNA YouTube Suspended .. Santino Injured .. LAX #1 Contenders .. Official Vince Angle .. Title Phase Out .. Merger

2007-08-05T16:32:00.001-04:00

Wow, lots of interesting stuff, let's get started.

There has been a lot of talk of Taker returning at Unforgiven. TV ads, radio ads, poster ads, and now we're finally seeing the new poster for Unforgiven. It used to be Triple H but now it's the Dead Man. Oh snap.

TNA's YouTube account got suspended by Viacom for copyright violations. Therefore that's why TNA Today has been down for the past 2 days. TNA had the highest rated/viewed channel on YouTube at the time and might have had no idea what Viacom was doing. It might have some SpikeTV involvement too. More on that as the information comes.

Supposedly Santino Marella might have a shoulder injury that he received at a house show. He was in a match with Umaga when the ref decided that the match needed to be over. He was supposedly helped up the ramp by someone.

Another house show story, LAX have won a #1 Contenders match again Team 3D at a house show over the weekend. Therefore, congrats to LAX :D. Finally, Team 3D are being told to shut up. Could this be setting up for a Team 3D departure?

Here is some more information on the Vince angle. This is along the lines of what I thought. I heard this from ProWrestling.com. Vince faked his own death with some help from Kennedy. This is what was originally scheduled with everyone framing Linda McMahon. Who knows, will they pick it up from there? (I think I might be repeating myself here.)

Uh oh, TNA might be phasing out the X Division title. According to ProWrestling.com with the signing of all the big guys and because a big guy has the title we might be losing the X Division title. Aww, and I was just starting to love the X Division in general. I personally feel we should just return the title to the X Division. Give it to the Fallen Angel, isn't he #1 contender or something?

According to ProWrestling.com, after Raws lackluster rating they were talking about a merger between Raw, Smackdown, and ECW and making it one show. After finding out the rating was wrong, they threw the idea away. Hopefully for good.

Angle Ideas for Vince Return .. TNA Stars Leaving .. Kurt Angle Story Reeks Of Benoit?

2007-08-05T00:04:00.001-04:00

Yo yo yo. What's going on? Hopefully nothing of importance so you can read this. Anyway ..

I was reading some stuff online about Vince returning and I read something about how Linda was supposed to be behind his original killing and Mr. Kennedy had something to do with it. That's just what I read however. Anyway, I think that McMahon is gonna say that basically he survived and now he's on a huge manhunt to find out who masterminded this idea. He'll say he was tipped off or something dumb. We'll find out. It'll be something totally retarded like that.

We have TNA stars that might be leaving and one that is definately never coming back. Team 3D's contract expires in a little while and there have been no talks of a resigning, so we're not entirely sure where all of this is going. The Damaja missed the last taping for TNA because he couldn't get a plane ticket to Florida according to WrestlingInc.com. He didn't call anyone down there, not even Doug Bashem, his brother. We'll see where this goes. Konnan is definately not returned to TNA ever according to new reports. They tried to talk but it just didn't work so don't expect to see Konnan anytime soon. I wish him well with his kidney D: Last time I heard it got rejected.

Ahh, now the opinion part. People are getting all mad because Kurt Angle's divorce storyline supposedly reeks of Chris & Nancy Benoit. They bring up the fact that he I guess scared her and she wanted a divorce. Well, Karen wants a effin' divorce on air, get over it. Seriously, it has nothing to do with Benoit or anything like that. It's a storyline, plain and simple, people need to learn how not to be offended by things they hear on TV. People are saying that it's "in poor taste", I don't agree. It's just a story line, grow a pair, be a man, and get over it.

Smackdown Better Than Raw? .. Hogan's New Promotion .. Orton To "Kill" Another Legend. Anybody else sick of it?

2007-08-04T14:03:00.001-04:00

Welcome welcome welcome! We have preliminary ratings for Smackdown and I'll say this, Raw definately isn't the premiere one anymore. On Smackdown's 2nd hour they made CW the highest rated channel on TV at that time slot. Excellent. I personally feel that Raw is getting to the point where it should be taped and Smackdown should be live. That's how horrible all this is getting.

Hulk Hogan is striking out on his own. He and a few of his friends are attempting to make their own wrestling company. He wants to make it into a more natural place. None of that big brute BS from the way it sounds. He says he hopes that his promotion because successful enough so that everyone will have to follow suit with his "natural" stuff. He also wants it on the air right away from the way ProWrestling.com is making it sound. He's been talking to TV people and promoters and stuff and needs about 100 mil to start this up, and right now he's at *checks article again* about 40 mil. You can read the article here. Do you think you can donate?

Randy Orton is set to kill another legend this Monday. According to WWE.com which I found out through ProWrestling.com. I started to put a few things together because Sid Vicious wants to return to wrestling and WWE has been reportedly tossing his name around, could he possibly be the new legend? I mean the guy's been around for ages so why wouldn't he be considered a legend? Who else is sick of this Randy Orton "Legend Killer" BS? Seriously, it's getting really old. If you want to prove he's such a good wrestler actually put him in matches with good, modern people. No jobbers and no old timers. It's getting annoying. Same with Big Daddy V and all those dumb people like Johnny Nitro. -_- Welcome to wrestling I guess.

I'll post more later because RSS feeds suck at life.

Well slap me across the face and call me Betty

2007-08-03T22:29:00.000-04:00

How can a person be wrong in 2 posts? Go me. Anyway, Jeff Hardy is suspended but I have no clue why, when I find out more I'll mention it.

I also had the strange feeling the Neilsen system was messed up and I was right. I just didn't let on that I had the feeling. Anyway, at least all this grossness is cleared up now. It was also only on that network too. For approximately 2-3 days. Wow, could have noticed sooner hmm? Dumbies.

Why TNA Interests Me More Than WWE

2007-08-03T13:41:00.001-04:00

You know what, I've fallen victim to the "TNA is more interesting than WWE" bandwagon. And it really is. WWE to me is just really redundant. You see the same things over and over again. With TNA I'm seeing faster paced matches & just more interesting moves. Yeah, I know TNA sort of picked up the dregs of the wrestling worlds TV people who have fallen out of WWE grace. Here are a just a few reasons why.

TNA has more interesting characters. Seriously, Serotonin is something you'd never see in WWE, only in TNA would I ever see that. TNA has more interesting storylines, WWE is just the same things over and over again, redundant as I've stated before. Plus, who doesn't love Shark Boy? Seriously kid.
I see better moves. I love watching AJ Styles fly around the ring. He's just really good at what he does, which is just what I think. I mean yeah, the Swanton Bomb was really cool for a while, but when you guys going out there doing stuff I've never seen, that's when it's just great. My applause goes to AJ Styles for really drawing me in.
Everyone there is just a nicer personality. I mean yeah, TNA is more serious than WWE but the intensity with which these people wrestle you can just tell. Plus, AJ Styles makes me laugh with the fact that after Christian Cage walks away he always has something to say. Plus, Tomko and he's toy belt, come on now, funny.
They've got Sting, Devon, Bubba Ray, Test, Kevin Nash, the Steiners & Raven. Nuff said on that subject.
All of the good people from WWE from jumping ship and going to TNA, so therefore all the people I enjoy watching will be going to TNA. Test, even though he wasn't signed to WWE at the time, went over, and I love that guy. Plus, with the way Jeff Hardy is going we'll be seeing him back soon. Trust me.
TNA has better stables and better tandem teams over all. Plus the young ones are great, I do remember Motor City Machine Guns and Triple X the best. They just interest me a lot. Plus, the Steiners, seriously.

Personally, TNA just does it more for me that WWE does. Sure, WWE has a better Wellness Policy, last time I checked they aren't asking TNA for files on their drug testing policy, trust me now I know they have one, it's just not as inclusive as WWE's.

If anyone has any comments, tell me. I'm just starting to think that TNA is going really extreme while WWE is trying to clean up, I like extreme. Which ECW just isn't anymore. Oh, and nice attempt by trying to use Johnny Nitro (I will forever call him that he's just a dork now) and Elijah Burke to win me over, it's just not working.

More Serotonin? .. Jeff Hardy gone? .. Congress Needs To Lay Off

2007-08-02T19:03:00.000-04:00

Ahh, the first entry, it's a wonderful thing is it not? Anyway, on to what's important, the wrestling

My feels are thus, we need more Serotonin on TNA. I think they're pretty interesting and I'd love to see more of them for whatever reason. Maybe when TNA decides to go to 2 hours (hopefully that happens, I hear they moved UFC to Wednesdays which might open up TNA's 2nd hour). I also wonder this, if TNA does go to 2 hours are they still going to film every 2 weeks or is it going to be every week, 2 hours? I don't get it but if I can get an answers it would be nice, seriously. Anyway, when it goes to 2 hours more Serotonin AND Motor City Machine Guns? Sabin = O.O mmmmmmm

Hmm, how many know about Jeff Hardy either a.) not showing up or b.) being sent home? Something tells me he's in big shit right now. If I knew more, I'd say more.

Alright, this goes out to Congress. You guys have more important things to worry about than drugs in a place that really isn't a sport, it's entertainment. The only people that are dying are the ones that have been using steroids since the Steroids Ages as I call them. They are the left over dregs. And then we have people running around saying "500 lbs men were sitting on me beating on me". Seriously, get a life. I understand you're being honest, but all half of them are doing is trying to bring their fame back, and other's are just being unrealistic as far as I'm concerned. I'd never expect it from Joanie Lauer either. -.- Currently you've got a bridge collapse, terrorism, finding Usama bin Laden, and also cleaning up Gitmo to worry about. You have more on your plate than wrestling.

And go wrestling ratings for getting better every week :rolls eyes:. For those who have switched to TNA, they don't have a drug testing policy like WWE does from I hear.

I'll probably post more later.

By the way, I don't post spoilers and I don't do anything like that. I will voice my opinions about shows afterward however.
