SD vs. Raw '09 is already out of date.

It was only released today, and SDvsRaw09 is already out of date. In addition to Mike Adamle being done with the company, word today comes that Paul London and Chuck Palumbo were Future Endeavor'd as well.

This comes on the heels of news of Third Quarter earnings being down from last year: Operating Income at $7.9 Million, down 5 and a half mill from last year's 3Q. Net income down 3.2 mill as well, from 8.5 to 5.3. CEO Linda McMahon reported that the company would be looking at some cost cutting initiatives for 2009... does this include Future Endeavoring talent who's got nothing going on these days?

Deuce, Yang, Elijah, Armando... get ready to head to TNA!

Eliminated!

The Adamle experiment is over. After kayfabe "resigning" on Raw Monday night, reports are that Mike Adamle is, indeed, finished with WWE. After flubbing lines from day one, being so bad at commentating that Taz was making fun of him on-air, and then being the most boring GM ever, both parties have finally agreed that pro wrestling just might not be where he shines.

It honestly shocks me that he's been this bad. I know American Gladiators was 15 years ago, but he was great on that show. I was excited when he got picked up, but... such is life.

So does this mean that his horrific commentating on ECW really WASN'T a work? Egad.

Round and Round and Round It Goes

So Goldust has signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. It's kind of like a revolving door with this one. He just walks round and round and sometimes he falls out in TNA or ROH, but...

Let's all look forward to more Kung Fu Naki Dance Offs!

He's Super, He's Crazy, He's.... FIRED

Super Crazy was future endeavored today. The rumor is that he asked for release because though he was happy with his WWE salary, he was very unhappy with his status in the company.

Good news, he's poor and on the unemployment line, so he doesn't have to worry about sitting on his ass and getting paid for doing nothing while I work 60 hours a week to make ends meet.

Not that I'm bitter.

JR is a God, pt. 2

So with tomorrow being Halloween and all, many of the superstars and on-air talent dressed up in costumes for Tuesday's Smackdown taping. Jim Ross was... a sailor.

Let's hope, for all of our sakes, that this isn't his Donald Duck costume.

Natalya + handcuffs = random hotness!

Natalya Neidhart posted up a new blog on WWE Universe, talking about the Diva costume contest/match at Cyber Sunday, and one statement in particular caught my eye...

"Congratulations, Mickie...but in my humble opionion, you deserved to be arrested for your ensemble... and I had just the Swarovski handcuffs to do it!"

Mickie James + Natalya + handcuffs = almost too much for this dirty old man's heart to take! Natalya could grow her daddy's goatee and still be the hottest thing going today.

Jim Ross is a God...

There's been a ton of speculation that since Wrestlemania is in San Antonio this year the Showstopper Shawn Michaels could very well be retiring. Shawn Michaels is 43 years old, but in today's day and age you have to ask yourself it that's really all that old for a pro-wrestler. At this level of expectation Triple H will be done in three or four years. And the prospect of a DX free WWE by 2012 does not ammuse me, because face it... 2012 is not that far away.

Granted Shawn has been plagued by far more injuries than "The Game" but the thought of his retirement (though eventually immenent) is enough to make me hang up my own (metophorical) pair of wrasslin' boots. I shudder to think of a John Cena, John Morrison, Batista dominated WWE.

Anyhow, Jim Ross posted on his blog, and I think we can lay the rumors to rest for now. Jim Ross is a God by the way. Here's what he said about...

The possibility of Shawn Michaels retiring soon:
"HBK earns big money, works a schedule that he is ok with and is still the best big match wrestler in the biz. Shawn is at a place as to where if he is unhappy he won't be around. The WWE needs HBK much more than Shawn needs them."

And thank God someone admitted that! :)
