DX for Summerslam

domingo, 2 de agosto de 2009.

- Scott sent the following: On Lilian Garcia's official MySpace she's put her upcoming schedule up and the last time she is scheduled for Raw is August 24th in Las Vegas, the day after her 10 year anniversary. So, I guess that's her last day with WWE.

- The latest word on Michelle McCool is that her injury from Friday night is legit. She was defending the WWE Women's Title against Eve Torres when her left knee got caught underneath her and went out. No word yet on the severity of the injury or how long she may be out. Michelle was scheduled to face Melina at the WWE live event last night in Bethlehem, PA but Katie Lea ended up taking her place.

- Devin Cutting sent the following: Even though WWE changed the name of Cyber Sunday to Bragging Rights, it appears that fans will still get to vote on aspects of the show.

- Eugene (real name Nick Dinsmore) made his official WWE return at Saturday night’s SmackDown/ECW house show in New Hampshire.Eugene was released on September 1, 2007 for reportedly receiving his third strike in the WWE Wellness program. Eugene wrestled Ricky Ortiz in the third match on the card, and is expected to feud with Ortiz when he returns to TV on the SmackDown brand. His return is rumored for the August 7th episode, but things can always change. According to official documents released earlier this year, WWE released Eugene for his third failed Wellness test.

-- Maryse will be out of action for at least three months following her knee surgery on Tuesday.

- It looks like Triple H will be facing Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes on next week's RAW in a Handicap match. Let the speculation begin on a Shawn Michaels return for next week's show to reunite DX.

Edge will come back at Royal Rumble

jueves, 30 de julio de 2009.

- World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Brian Kendrick as of today, July 30, 2009. WWE wishes Brian the best in all future endeavors.

- The current idea with the storyline between Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov on ECW is to make them a team and tag title contenders to Chris Jericho and Big Show.

-- Big Show's new ring attire is designed to make him look thinner and more athletic in the ring.

-- The WWE creative team is currently working under the impression that Edge will be out for the remainder of 2009. The best case scenario is said to be that he’ll be ready to return at Royal Rumble and build a feud with Chris Jericho for WrestleMania 26.

-- - In light of the news of Maryse needing surgery to repair a recurring knee injury, there was talk on Monday of turning one of the face Divas heel, with the mostly likely person being Gail Kim. It definitely appears she will be given the nod as there was a subtle hint in the Divas match on Monday as Kim tagged herself in to win the match just as James was getting ready to win the match for her team.

- The buzz at RAW last night in Washington, DC was that Shawn Michaels will make his return to the ring at SummerSlam and as speculated before, may be on RAW next week. More new promotional material for the pay-per-view just released is still featuring Shawn, for what it's worth.

Edge out for 6 months

martes, 14 de julio de 2009.

-- The jury is still out on the specific time frame needed for Edge to feel comfortable making a full-time wrestling return. Because an Achilles tendon tear is a serious injury that requires careful attention and rehabilitation, no one involved in the situation wants to make a full assessment on Edge's standing for a few weeks. A more detailed update is expected once Edge gets into the rehab process and re-visits the doctors. All that is known at press time is that he will miss at least six months and is slated to return as a face, a turning process which began via the Chris Jericho angle this week.
- WWE's Cyber Sunday pay-per-view has been changed once again. After going back and forth over the last few weeks on Cyber Sunday or the WWE Annihilation name, WWE has now changed it to WWE Bragging Rights.
-- Matt Hardy revealed that he will be starting a new training program today following surgery on his abdomen last week to get in shape for his return to WWE TV. “Today Is The Day.. That I start getting back to being me, Matt Hardy. Whether you love me or you hate me, you can't deny my passion and drive.” Hardy said on his latest myspace blog. “I start my slow, yet gradual climb back to the top of the mountain. I refuse to lose. I hope each and every one of you are in my corner.. and if not, then so be it.” Hardy also brought up the World Heavyweight Championship, “It's time for Matt Hardy to be what I'm destined to be.. The World Heavyweight Champ. And I will! I'm free to get my total game where it needs to be..”

The Undertaker come back in Summerslam

miércoles, 24 de junio de 2009.

- There is still no solid word on when Shawn Michaels will be returning to WWE television. Michaels was pretty banged up after his WrestleMania match and has been at home recovering, much like The Undertaker. Michaels has said that he wants to take off an extended period of time to be with his family, although people within WWE definitely want him back sooner than later.
Shawn and Triple H are both known as guys who are good at talking Vince out of doing the campy comedy angles that he and lead RAW writer Brian Gewirtz both love.
- Sources say that World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is banged up from some kind of injury but won’t be missing any time from it. Apparently it’s believed to be some kind of upper-body injury but nothing serious. Word is Punk has been doing his best to hide it but has been seen in some pain in the locker room.
While Punk isn’t expected to miss any time and it’s not anything really serious, he joins a long list of WWE talents who are banged up and hurting right now including Edge, Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio and others.
- - Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase are no longer be referred to as "Priceless," reports the F4W Newsletter. Rather, they will simply referred to as "Legacy." WWE recently issued a directive to the announcers regarding the change.
-- The following matches have been taped for this week's edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown:
* R-Truth vs. Shelton Benjamin
Divas Tag Team Match
* Melina & Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool & Alicia Fox
* Dolph Ziggler vs. The Great Khali
Non-Title Match
* CM Punk (c) vs. John Morrison
Steel Cage Match
* Edge & Chris Jericho vs Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio Special guest referee: CM Punk
-- Undertaker is said to be working out very hard in preparation for his return. WWE hopes to have him back in time for a meaningful match at SummerSlam.Taker’s surgery was a success but he is said to still be banged up. He is pushing hard to get back and is said to be very dedicated to still performing at a high level for WWE.He feels that the company needs him and he wants to get back and help WWE and more specifically help the SmackDown brand. Taker has his mind set on returning sooner than later, despite sources within WWE feeling that at this point in his career he should be more cautious and make sure he is completely healthy before returning.

Vince McMahon vs Donald Trump...... Will Continue???

martes, 23 de junio de 2009.

-- As was made clear with the angle on Monday's edition of WWE RAW, Donald Trump is no longer the storyline owner of RAW. But, following up on the Vince McMahon-Donald Trump pull-apart, WWE teased a future of heated encounters for the two tycoons.In a press release announcing Donald Trump's fictional sale and subsequent "firing," WWE noted that while "Trump is no longer the 'owner' of Monday Night Raw, this may not be the end of the feud between these two world class promoters."After selling Monday Night RAW to Donald Trump in a storyline on last week's show, Vince McMahon "bought" the brand back, at double Trump's cost, on Monday's show.-
- F4WOnline.com reports that Matt Hardy suffered an abdominal muscle injury--presumably a tear--during last night's Superstars match taping. He is slated to undergo surgery later this week.
-- WWE's 2009 Survivor Series pay-per-view has reportedly been booked for Washington, DC and there is already talk that Batista may be returning there. DC is Batista's hometown.
-- As noted before, Rey Mysterio and other WWE talents have been voicing concerns with their pay as of late. There was talk at last night's RAW about wrestlers being upset that WWE would do something like give away a $235,000 gate just to get Donald Trump over as a babyface in a storyline that ended before it began.
- John Cena appeared on Bubba The Love Sponge's radio show earlier today and confirmed he is getting married to his high school sweetheart soon. Cena also noted that he's looking over more movie scripts and hopes to start filming something this fall. He said the audience is changing because of WWE's switch to PG ratings and said he wants to film a PG movie so all his fans can see it. Cena also noted how The Undertaker runs the locker room.
- Announced for this Thursday's WWE Superstars on WGN America is a Triple Threat for the WWE United States Championship with Kofi Kingston vs. MVP vs. Matt Hardy.
- Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio will face Edge and WWE Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho in a "Rage in the Cage" match on this week's episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
- It looks like the Santina Marella character is done as Donald Trump "fired" it on RAW tonight. Still with Vince McMahon buying RAW back, I guess he could bring Santina back.

Jeff Hardy is the most popular wrestler

lunes, 22 de junio de 2009.

-- The post, issued Saturday evening, states that he is "week2week," implying that he still has not locked down a long-term plan for his future with the company. All indications from recent reports are that Hardy will ultimately sign a WWE contract renewal, although there remains a good chance that he will take some time off before fulfilling the commitments of that renewed deal. WWE remains very high on Hardy; a recent tidbit in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter cited a source in referring to Hardy as its "most popular wrestler."
-- PWInsider reports that Cody Rhodes is nursing a sore neck. Fortunately, there are no indications that it is a serious, prohibitive injury for the Legacy member.
- In an interview They asked how Cena came up with the YOU CAN´T SEE ME GESTURE and he said it was his little brother who came up with it and used it as an insult against him. He told his brother he was going to steal it and use it in the ring. His brother said he was bluffing so Cena took it as a challenge and told him he would get it on TV and it stuck.
--At the Grand Rapids TNA live show, Kurt Angle squashed the WWE return rumors. Angle announced that he loves TNA, wants to extend his contract with the company and that he will never return to the WWE again. He said he never wants to work for Vince McMahon again, despite his recent radio appearance where he said he could return to WWE if he wanted to, since his TNA contract is about to expire and he did not burn any bridges in WWE when he left.
- -- Regarding Sim Snuka’s release, it likely was not a Wellness Policy-related firing but rather due to creative not having anything for him. Snuka was last seen on TV at WrestleMania when he played a stunt camera man for Shawn Michaels to throw infront of Undertaker during a dive over the top rope down to the ringside floor. The spot was botched, and while it’s debatable whether Snuka was at fault or not, he ended up getting a little heat for it. He hasn’t been seen since and was given his release shortly after 5:00 PM on Friday, June 19, 2009.
-- WWE confirmed the releases of a SmackDown! Diva and RAW Superstar Friday. Though both releases are noteworthy, neither star had been part of an active television program.Gone are SmackDown's Candice Michelle and RAW's Sim Snuka. The related WWE press releases are below:"World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of SmackDown Superstar Candice Michelle as of today, June 19, 2009. WWE wishes Candice the best in all future endeavors.""World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Sim Snuka as of today, June 19, 2009. WWE wishes Sim the best in all future endeavors."

CM Punk turning Heel

jueves, 18 de junio de 2009.


-- After Vickie Guerrero did her final angle last week on RAW, a lot of talent backstage approached her to give their thanks for how well she did in her role with the company. Guerrero left WWE to take care of her two daughters and she didn’t think that she should be gone two or three days a week, as a single mother.

-- In an update to the CM Punk situation, the latest word is that WWE has not officially committed to the heel turn. Though the turn does seem inevitable, the final decision will be a product of fan reaction to Punk in his upcoming pay-per-view match with Jeff Hardy, given that WWE sees Hardy as the audience's most beloved babyface.

-- On the subject of Edge, sources say he was given this past weekend off to rest his body from the constant wear-and-tear. Edge has consistently worked aggressive matches for WWE with little downtime, and sources say he might be a candidate for a reduced road schedule in the near future.

-- There is still a lot of speculation that Ric Flair will be the next general manager of RAW, but as of Tuesday evening there was still nothing confirmed about who will play the role.
Sources say Batista is coming to grips with the fact that his days are numbered as a full-time, active WWE wrestler.While he plans to make a full recovery from his recent biceps injury, the talk is that Batista knows he will not be able to continue for much longer. Though most wrestlers end up going far longer than Mother Nature would recommend, the feeling is that Batista has accepted that his body is aging--he might not opt to make more returns if he again succumbs to injury after returning from this ailment.WWE still places Batista's expected return timeframe at 4-6 months, although there is some optimism that he will try to get back in the ring by the end of the summer.

- TNA Wrestling sources claim the company is definitely interested in Umaga (Eddie Fatu) and Mr. Kennedy (Ken Anderson), both of whom were released from WWE recently.TNA apparently sees money in a potential Samoa Joe vs. Umaga feud down the road.The 90-day no compete clauses of both Umaga and Kennedy expire about ten days from each other later this summer, so both could potentially join the company around the same time.A source close to Mr. Kennedy claims he's very much looking forward to joining TNA Wrestling, feeling he can be a top star in the company without restraints, such as those he felt he had while in WWE. Kennedy apparently felt he wasn't seen as a top star in WWE, but will be in TNA - and can be, if given the opportunity.

-- More bad news for WWE wrestler The Big Show. CourthouseNews.com reports that Paul Wight (Big Show) failed to reveal he owed the IRS $450,000, and now they have placed a lien on the home. The home is also part of the lawsuit.

Today´s Raw news

lunes, 15 de junio de 2009.

-- Chris Masters was indeed hired back by World Wrestling Entertainment this past week. "The Masterpiece" had a meeting with Vince McMahon at the Los Angeles tapings a few weeks ago and was recommended by Randy Orton to be brought back. Many in WWE are curious as to how he will look like when he returns as it was noted that it will send a message. WWE released Masters from his contract on November 8, 2007 six days after he had been suspended for 60 days for having violated the company's drug testing policy on a second occasion. The suspension was for 60 days because he had been previously suspended on August 30, 2007 when the Signature Pharmacy scandal broke out. Shortly after his return to the ring, he was suspended for failing a drug test. Contrary to his Wikipedia bio, Masters was not suspended when he quietly taken off the road in May 2006. Masters entered a drug rehabilitation due to an issue with prescription painkillers, but it did not count as a strike against because there was no drug test failure associated with him being sent to rehab. He returned to WWE four months later with much less muscle mass, leading Jerry "The King" Lawler to refer to him as "leaner and meaner" Chris Masters.
- As announced this week on Friday Night SmackDown, CM Punk will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Edge and Jeff Hardy in a three-way bout this Monday night. As it turns out, the match was originally scheduled to take place at The Bash pay-per-view later this month, but due to next Monday's three-hour RAW, it's being moved up. As of Thursday, the creative team were still scrambling on how to figure things out for Monday's show, not to mention how it would all lead to matches for the pay-per-view in two weeks.
- In a follow-up on an earlier report, Rey Mysterio did not hand in his notice to WWE officials as he still remains in the company. However, there are some issues between both sides which need to be worked out.
- Hurricane Helms made his ring return Saturday night at the SmackDown/ECW live event in Binghamton, New York. Helms teamed with Evan Bourne to lose to The Hart Dynasty after Helms took the Hart Attack.
- Saturday night's SmackDown/ECW event also saw WWE Hall of Famer Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat defeat WWE developmental talent Drew McIntyre.
- Triple H has been back on the road with the RAW brand this weekend, defeating Randy Orton in the show's main events.
- WWE will present a three-hour episode of tonight's RAW from Charlotte, NC at the Time Warner Cable Arena. The theme of tonight's show will be the "Three-For-All" edition. Matches confirmed include an ECW Title match with Tommy Dreamer vs. Christian, a World Heavyweight Title match with CM Punk vs. Edge vs. Jeff Hardy and a match to crown a new WWE Champion with Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. Big Show vs. John Cena.
- World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. has named Mike Pavone as Executive Vice President of WWE Studios. In his new role, Pavone will lead WWE Studios’ theatrical releases, direct-to-DVD movies, series and reality programming and report directly to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Pavone brings with him more than 18 years of experience in the film and television industry having worked as a writer, producer, director and actor. His projects include such notable titles as: The Client (CBS), Prison Break (FOX), High Incident with Steven Spielberg (ABC), Jack & Jill (WB), Against The Grain (NBC), Street Time (Showtime), The Blue Wall (Disney), Northmen for Warner Bros. and Seven Men from Now for Beacon Films.

Rey Mysterio could quit!!!

domingo, 14 de junio de 2009.



- Rey Mysterio's WWE status remains the week's biggest mystery. Earlier this week, rumors, supported by the fact that Mysterio missed this week's television taping, claimed that the wrestler had quit WWE. Numerous media outlets quickly noted that Mysterio's absence was a scheduled break to nurse lingering injuries; it thus could not be used as evidence to support rumors of his giving notice.As the weekend rolled in, F4WOnline.com reported that while Mysterio had not, in fact, quit the company, he did have ongoing issues with WWE management. That source added Saturday evening that Mysterio's heat with WWE officials is a two-sided conflict over "money issues." More details were not available.Interestingly, F4WOnline's report only focuses on the tension between the two parties--it does not directly address the significance Mysterio's injury played in explaining his absence. In any event, Mysterio is not expected to leave WWE over the conflict.

- In an interview with the Charlotte Observer, former WWE Champion Randy Orton says he hopes to follow a different path than industry veterans like Ric Flair.Though he does not mention "The Nature Boy" by name in the relevant quote, it is clear that Orton does not believe wrestlers like Flair epitomize his ideal wrestling legacy.“I don't want to put myself in a position where financially I need to perform when I'm 60 or 50 or even in my mid-40s. There will be a time when I'm a dad of two or three and I just want to be at home with my family," says Orton.Orton nonetheless praises Flair's contribution to his success as a WWE performer.He offers, “He was one of my mentors when I started. If it wasn't for him and Triple H and my father [former wrestler Cowboy Bob Orton], I wouldn't be where I am now."

- There is talk that the supposed "four month" absence for Batista might be overstated hype on WWE's part. Sources have conflicted on the matter - some say he will take more time off (and not return until the Royal Rumble), while others believe he can return as soon as Summerslam. What is certain, however, is that Batista is indeed injured and did indeed undergo surgery - rumors to the contrary are absolutely false.

Undertaker return!!!

viernes, 12 de junio de 2009.

- Former WWE Diva and current TNA performer Lisa Marie Varon denied rumors (no source of the allegation was provided) that she was Chris Benoit's "secret mistress" at the time of his double murder-suicide. Varon says that she would be willing to submit to a polygraph to prove the inaccuracy of the rumor, which supposedly is going around the wrestling gossip world."This [allegation] is absolutely false," she declares.
- JR WRITE IN HIS BLOG THIS:
JR On Batista's Surgery: "Dr. Jim Andrews, as I understand it, in Birmingham, Alabama performed the surgery to repair a major injury to Dave Batista's biceps. The Animal will be out at least 4 months and perhaps closer to 6. Bad break for a good guy but no one has to worry about how hard Batista will work to come back and be 100%. Nor will Dave be "lonely" one has to assume. Perhaps Nurse Slobberknockers will be available. Sponge bath any one??
JR On Undertaker: "Communicated with The Undertaker recently who is anxious to return to the ring sooner than later. I don't have a return date but there is no doubt in my mind that the future Hall of Famer will be back in a WWE ring by summer's end or early autumn. "They" don't make 'em like the "Demon of Death Valley" any more folks and for those that continue to send us questions regarding a 'Taker retirement be advised that they are still be deleted because there's nothing to that rumor."
JR On Lilian Garcia: "Lots of questions regarding WWE seeking a female, ring announcer/singer. This doesn't mean that Lilian Garcia is going any where but media company's like WWE are never NOT looking for new announce talents. I do not know what Lilian's long term professional or personal goals are but I have not heard any thing but good things about her work. We all know she can damn sure sing. Who knows, perhaps Lil is looking to cut back on her road
- For the first time, ever, in RAW’s history, the June 22nd edition of Monday night RAW in Green Bay, Wi will broadcast live with no commercial breaks. The show will remain uninterrupted from start to finish. WWE’s creative team will treat this show as a PPV, since they will have no breaks throughout the entire broadcast.
- MMA fans who wish to watch Bobby Lashley fight Bob Sapp later this month on PPV, can purchase the Ultimate Chaos PPV for $29.99 on June 27th.

WWE Rumours

martes, 2 de junio de 2009.

- Candice Michelle is scheduled to return to WWE next month from her latest injury.

- John Cena’s movie 12 Rounds opened at #7 in the UK this week.

- Triple H was originally advertised to appear in a six-man tag-team main evet at this Saturday's WWE "Supershow" in Pensacola, Florida."The Game" was scheduled to team with John Cena and CM Punk against Randy Orton, Edge and Chris Jericho in six-man tag action.However, Triple H was as of late yesterday replaced in advertisements with Jeff Hardy. So the match is now Jeff Hardy, Cena and Punk vs. Orton, Edge and Jericho.

- More details are now surfacing about the situation involving Mr. Kennedy and WWE. For those still in the dark, you should read the original article about why Mr. Kennedy got fired specifically and what went down backstage at RAW that night. It is on the newsboard if you go back a few days.As far as the update is concerned, it appears that not just Randy Orton went to Vince McMahon to complain about how dangerously clumbsy Kennedy is in the ring and how green he is. While no one is named directly, apparently two or three top, multi-time world champions (one should already come to mind) were among those that went directly to McMahon to vent their frustrations.According to sources, McMahon was already in a bad mood due to the NBA/Denver Nuggets situation and reportedly went insane with anger on a plane ride back home. McMahon apparently said Kennedy is now on the WWE's "do not call list" which very few people are on. It's the cream of the crop when it comes to testing the often-preeched "never say never" slogan in WWE.
