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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
