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

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)

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 ..

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

That's what I get I guess.

Whoa Whoa Whoa .. What?

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

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

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

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)
