I miss ECW.

The real ECW. Not this current Smackdown Lite. I never even really got to watch it, and I miss it. I guess what I miss more is the days when we had some real characters to get into. Watch Bubba in this clip and tell me he's not infinitely more entertaining than today's "BLAAAHHH I HATE THE X-DIVISION" crap.

This man is available to work again.

Shawn Daivari's 90-day no-compete clause is up as of today, meaning he's available once again to work for various other organizations.

In other news... Shawn Daivari was wished well in his future endeavors 90 days ago. He was so forgettable that I didn't even realize he was gone! Seriously, they might as well have let him go as soon as they released Copani (which was a crock, but... that's another blog for another day).

Seriously, Who Is This Guy Blowing?

So, PWI has named John Cena the "Wrestler of the Year" for the third straight year. This is so absurd, we don't even need a punchline. Next they'll be naming Britney Spears the "Young Girls' Role Model of the Decade," or George Bush the "World Leader of Forever."

Okay... so I understand the Superman push. He's (kayfabe) made Khali and Youmanga look like Lenny Lane and the Brooklyn (or is it Boston?) Brawler. He never loses the title clean. He never loses clean period. But seriously... wrestler of the year? They couldn't give a nod to Randy Orton, who's stepped up his game a million percent this year?

Even when he's injured and off my TV, Jawn Cener finds ways to annoy the bejesus out of me.

Weeeeelllll....

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Paul Wight (aka The Big Show) is all set to return to the WWE. I guess that would fit with the previous story in recent days announcing the signing of a "former multi-time world champion." Unless they count Ron Killings' 2-time NWA Title reign, who also just apparently signed with the company.

So what happened to "[Big Show] is my slave name"? There's an incredibly racist joke about slaves and wages and "yes, massa," but I'm trying my hardest not to make it. This blogging gig might seem like a glamorous job, but seriously people, don't envy me.

From tnawrestling.com

Chris Harris is no longer a member of the TNA Wrestling roster. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.


My God, not only do the recycle storylines, they also recycle completely insincere departure messages.

For the Dogs!

With the WGA strike USA is pulling in TONS of ratings for WWE on Monday Nights. Sure it's by default because there isn't really anything else to watch, but finally after years of struggle. The USA Network has agreed to move the Westminster Dog Show to another channel. WWE will go on as usual!

Score one for WWE!!

Why HBK Went Crazy

Shawn Michaels was unhappy that Umaga wore tights with Triple H's colors because he was afraid the fans would get them confused.

I fully understand his concern.

Really basement nerds, try harder next time.

These Two Men Are Killing Professional Wrestling.

Listen to this horseshit.

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

According to well placed source in WWE [Red Flag #1] there was a backstage incident that occurred while WWE was over in Iraq. The incident involved Umaga, Randy Orton, and Shawn Michaels. Apparently the seamstress told Umaga that he could not use the colors that he wanted for his tights because they were the colors that Triple H uses. [Are you fucking kidding me?] However, Umaga insisted that the seamstress fulfill his request.

The seamstress complied and when Umaga went through the curtain in the tights, Shawn Michaels completely flipped out. [Because Shawn Michaels has never seen a man wearing black and silver, or black and purple, ever in his life except for Triple H.] WWE Champion Randy Orton was said to be the only person that stood up for the Samoan Bulldozer and fired back at Shawn.

It has been incidents like this that have completely altered Randy Orton’s reputation backstage. The feeling is that he is now a leader and is one of the few superstars that does not take crap off of Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

Well let's just give Randy the John Wayne push, huh? My God, I hate newz sites.

He's Coming Back Any Minute Now!

Okay Everyone. Let's not all yawn at once.

Vote for Ron Paul or Kane will burn your House Down!!

I think Ron Paul is the Ross Perot of the 2008 election. I don't know, because if your name isn't Barrack Obama I don't care enough to support you, and I won't look into who you are until Barack pisses me off. But I do know a thing or two about wrestling, and Glen Jacobs, better known as Kane is endorsing Ron Paul. I've met Kane, and I've seen him wrestle in person, and I'm damn near scared enough to vote for Ron Paul for the hell of it.

Biggest Disappointment Ever

I've been hearing a lot about this guy Drew McIntyre who is moving from Smackdown to Raw. I don't watch Smackdown regularly so I had never seen him before. But I heard people throwing words like 'European' and 'model' around so I thought well why not, I've never been disappointed by a European Male Model before, so I'll google him.

First Time for Everything I suppose.

Pure Speculation...

The best way to put this is that I didn't read this anywhere. I'm purely speculating and thinking to hard, but at least I admit it instead of posting on it like it's stone cold fact.

Last I knew Vince and Linda had a really nice house in a gated community right outside Stamford, CT. Paul and Steph don't live to far away (I even heard they live in the same gated community), and Shane and Marissa are around fairly frequently even though they live off somewhere else. Seems like it's a great big happy family.

However, the last two times Linda McMahon was scheduled to appear on WWE Programming she didn't show up, and Vince made a snide comment about where she might be, both time claiming she was under the weather.

And now Vince McMahon has bought a 2 million dollar apartment from his friend Donald Trump in Stamford, CT. I'm pretty sure this is less than twenty minutes from where he already lives. He also has a big, big townhouse apartment in Boca Raton, Florida. Vince has been fairly vocal about his extramarital affairs especially lately with the Hornswoggle angle. Hmmm...

Where's Linda? And Why does Vince need an apartment so close to his house? Hmmmm....

Classy, Classy Guy

Yeah, this picture of Triple H is old, but when I imagine Triple H, this is the Triple H I see. So dream with me here. At a house show in White Plains, New York Triple H wanted to pay tribute to the late, great, Arnold Skaaland.

I don't know who Arnold Skaaland is, but he was apparently a promoter in New York. Triple H acknowledged Skaaland's wife Betty by hugging her.

Triple H is a classy guy, and how lucky is Betty? I mean I don't know who this dude was, but if someone said to me, you're going to marry this guy, and he's going to die before you do, but it's okay, because Triple H is going to hug you to help your grieving process.

SIGN ME UP!


.....sucks about your husband though.

Mrs. Triple H thinks We're Stupid

WWE Magazine got together with the WWE Creative Team to give away 2007 awards. The biggest surprise of the year was the arrival of Chris Jericho.

It's a good thing Triple H says "I think these people are smart..." a lot, because Stephanie seriously insults my intelligence. The return of Jericho really was the biggest surprise ever. I mean, I had no idea after the 153rd Save_Us video.

Gotta Love Jericho

Chris Jericho did a radio interview today where he told the hosts that people were finding clues in the save_us.222 videos that he didn't even remember about his career. Wrestling fans are officially obsessed.

From the Mouth of the Artist Formerly Known as Joanie Laurer

Following Britney Spears wild night of kidnapping and hospitalization TMZ.com traveled the streets of LA and asked celebrities if they had any words about Britney. Enter, CHYNA!
Chyna gave a shout out to Brit , another famous female whose recent bloopers have been all over the tabloids. Chyna said, "I love her and she's a superstar and she needs to shine now."

My God. She needs to "shine now". What? From her padded room in the hospital. My God Joanie is such a hot mess I'm forced to love her.

By the way, watch Celebrity Rehab, Thursdays on VH1 at 10 EST.

HOT MESS! HOT MESS! HOT MESS! :)

As If I Needed Another Reason NOT to Watch Raw...

Trashley Massaro is rumored to be returning to WWE's RAW Brand, now that she is done with her involvement with CBS's Survivor. This is probably because she and Matt Hardy have broken up...

I'm thinking Matt should have gotten moved to Raw. I mean, I don't like Matt either, but it saves me from watching Ashley Massaro.

Nope! Never Happened.

In hyping The Royal Rumble WWE has released a list of all of the past rumble winners. They however skipped 2004 choosing not to list Chris Benoit as the winner, acting as though it never happened. Therefore, very obviously erasing it from the mind of wrestling fans everywhere.

Now if only they could do that with Katie Vick, Hornswoggle McMahon, Billy and Chuck, Rico...

WWE, thinking we're all friggin' idiots, one backspace stroke at a time.

This Has-Been is Gonna be On TV

This person is married to some guy in the NFL who is playing in the playoffs, so they're pretty sure she's going to be getting some face time on the TV. In other news... Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care.
