You want Zack Ryder on RAW? Ok...here he is...in a 30 sec squash of Michael Cole. Lawler even said "I think this is the first time he's ever been on RAW!"

You dont like Cena as the champ? JR's response to the "controversial" response Cena gets? "Every seat is full and that's what matters."

As for putting the belt back on Cena and bringing Punk back right away?

WWE needs a new BOOKER...stat!!!!!!!!

As for the Knockouts...I'd fuck the shit out of ODB!!!!!! She's my kind of lady!

[Edited 7/25/11 23:20pm]

hehhe odb looks like she can break someone in half!!

and once again without doing a thing, the knockouts prove they are better WRESTLERS than the diva's. Kelly Kelly is a joke as a champion when there is still the talents of Beth Phoenix in the back

They are the best at starting a really good angle or story and then just letting it fizz out without proper follow up. They can never seemingly have a good story and storytelling from the beginning to the middle to the end. They already brought CM Punk back too soon, and I know it was so they can have something to sell for Summerslam, but this could've gone in such a more explosive manner. The story's got legs, and they're doing their best to chop it off at the knee and deliver the same ol' predictable bullshit month after month. I hope I'm wrong, but damn.

I got a kick out of people saying this was the start of the "NEW" Triple H era and how things were going to be so different. Lol! Like the Miz basically said in that promo last night, it's the same ol' shit. I would love for The Miz to get into a feud with Trips, though. That could be nice!

Also, who else here thought either Cena or Rey was going to turn heel by decking the other after that match was over (when Cena was helping Rey up and raising his hand)? Damn, I was hoping Cena would turn. Wishful thinking as always...

the only way rey could turn heel would be 2 go after sin cara otherwise rey will never be a heel. tho it would have been grand 2 have the miz enter the ring and slap the shit out of both of them lol

and tho u may think cm punk came back too soon, i'm not cause now the chants of cena sucks will not die so quickly. even hearing people last night cheering 4 cena was making sick

Smackdown Spoilers (to be aired 7/29):

Big pop for Booker T and lots of heat for Michael Cole when the commentators were introduced. Smackdown opened with Triple H making his entrance. He cut a promo on the state of the World Heavyweight Championship. Christian interrupted and talked about how Teddy Long has tried to run Smackdown into the ground. Hunter said that interrupting him is like slapping him in the face.

Triple H announced Christian vs. Randy Orton in a No Holds Barred Match for SummerSlam.

R-Truth came out and said he was there to continue what they started on Raw. He talked of the conspiracy against him. Triple H announced R-Truth vs Randy Orton for Smackdown, and also announced that Christian vs. John Morrison was up next.

Backstage, Triple H and Teddy Long were interrupted by Zack Ryder. Hunter announced that Ryder will be Long's new assistant.

1. Christian defeated John Morrison. Christian really played up the heel antics. Morrison looked great in his return match, according to Wesley. There was a botched reversal at one point that looked bad. In the end, Morrison executed a backdrop off the top rope and tried unsuccessfully to follow up with Starship Pain. Christian hit the Killswitch and got the win. Jim labeled it an "excellent TV match."

Wade Barrett cut a promo regarding Daniel Bryan. Bryan interrupted only to take a cheap shot from Barrett. Bryan countered and made Barrett tap to the LeBell Lock.

Ryder and Long were shown backstage with Mark Henry. Ryder said he would find Henry an opponent. Henry said Long better thank his assistant.

The Nexus vs. The Uso Brothers was advertised for later in the show.

2. Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, and Melina defeated Natalya, AJ, and Kaitlyn. AJ has improved, according to Wesley. Fox hit her axe kick on Kaitlyn and got the pin.

There was a Justin Gabriel video that showed him at home in South Africa.

3. Mark Henry beat Bobby Heller. Heller is a local wrestler from the Philly area. Henry destroyed him in a squash with two World Strongest Slams and a killer backbreaker.

Henry grabbed a chair, but Teddy Long stopped him from using it by saying he had a lawsuit pending and no one wants to fight him. Sheamus mades his entrance and said he will fight Henry. Sheamus slapped Henry and then tossed him out of the ring. Sheamus grabbed a chair and Henry retreated.

4. Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga defeated The Uso Brothers to retain the WWE Tag Titles. The Uso Brothers did their tribal dance to no reaction whatsoever. New Nexus came out to Justin Gabriel's theme song. Weird. The Uso Brothers showed a lot of energy and worked in some double team moves. However, McGillicutty hit his neckbreaker to get the win for his team.

Backstage, Ryder booked Ezekiel Jackson in a handicap match against Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes.

Another pointless Johnny Curtis vignette was shown. Wesley said there have been consistent C.M. Punk chants throughout the show.

R-Truth was interviewed backstage by Matt Striker. He said he's going to swoop down like a bunch of eagles on a snake when he faces Orton. Wesley labeled it a great promo.

5. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase beat Ezekiel Jackson in a handicap match. Decent heat for the heels. The paper bag men were out for the crowd. DiBiase started and was getting destroyed. He tagged Cody, who tagged back to Ted. DiBiase applied a sleeper. Zeke picked him up with one arm. Zeke had Cody in the Torture Rack, but Ted broke it up and Cody hit CrossRhodes for the win.

Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali cut a promo from a luxury suite. It was hard to make out what was said since there was great heat and USA chants.

6. R-Truth beat Randy Orton by DQ. Truth came out to a little heat, while Orton got the thunderous ovation. R-Truth received "sucks" chants and sold it by looking pissed. Truth got in a lot of offense and some near falls. Orton came back and then Christian came out. Randy hits a DDT off the ropes and struck the Viper's Pose.

Truth saw the RKO coming and dipped out of ring. Christian distracted Orton. Truth got his water bottle and hit Orton with it. Orton mocked Truth and drank water. He followed up with a Thesz Press and punches. Orton hit Truth with a chair for a DQ. Christian ran to the stage. Orton hit a pair of RKO's on Truth on the announcers' table to big pops.

Dark Match

1. Christian defeated Randy Orton in a Street Fight to retain the World Hvt. Championship. Teddy Long's music played for roughly five minutes after the previous match before Zack Ryder finally came out and set up the dark match. Christian said Philly does not deserve a Street Fight for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Christian said he hasn't met one tough person from Philly and he said they will not see a RKO on him tonight. Great heel work by Christian. The Crowd ate it up. In the end, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase came out and distracted Orton, and Christian rolled up Randy for the pin. Orton hit RKO's on everyone to close the show.

Has anyone heard CM Punk's interview on ESPN's Bill Simmon's podcast?? Punk is VERY candid in this, and he answers a couple of questions I had about where this angle has gone. He does mention he didn't change his mind about coming back until the actual MITB PPV, which I don't buy but hey, whatever.

Listen to it when you can. It's only 41 minutes: http://c.espnradio.com/au...122419.mp3

WWE Diva: I Fear 'Crazy ...ill Me!!!

WWE star Maryse Ouellet claims an "extremely disturbing and delusional" man is OBSESSED with her ... and now she's asked a judge for protection after he allegedly promised to "take me to heaven with him."



Maryse -- a WWE diva who's been romantically linked with former WWE champion The Miz -- filed a request for a permanent restraining order against 61-year-old Lee Silber ... claiming he has sent "numerous terrifying letters to my home and left more than 50 voicemails on my personal cell phone all of which are extremely disturbing and delusional."

In one of the letters Maryse claims she received from Silber, he promises to "not only give you a check for $100,000, but give you a 100 carat diamond ring worth $20,000,000 to prove I am your friend."Maryse says Silber's letters have gotten scarier over the last few weeks ... with Silber promising that he will be "coming to LA for me" ... and will "take me to heaven with him."

In the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Maryse states, "I fear for my life."Maryse tells TMZ she's beefed up security at her home recently ... calling Silber a "crazy stalker ... who needs to either be in a psychiatric hospital or jail!"Maryse is due back in court August 3rd. TMZ placed several calls to Silber for comment -- so far, no response.

Did you get a chance to listen to it yet? If so, what'd ya think?

July 28th News & Notes (gleaned from several sources):

– WWE officials went to great lengths to keep the arrivals of both CM Punk and Jim Ross a secret before they aired on Raw. Both talents were hidden from almost everyone in the organization. They were sent to different hotels from everyone else in fear that someone would see them and relay it online. Neither came into the Hampton Coliseum until they were given the cue to appear, both being sequestered somewhere on the premises. They were not even on the sixth and final script for the show and aside from those who had to directly interact with them on television, all performers weren’t aware of either of talent being in Hampton, Virginia. Ironically, the arena itself was advertising Punk for the event.

– Tyler Reks, who has portrayed a heel character since debuting last October on the SmackDown brand, went on Twitter to defend himself for congratulating Rey Mysterio on his WWE Championship victory on Monday’s Raw.

Reks wrote, “Lotta talk about me celebrating Rey’s win with everyone last night. Bottom line is that Rey is my friend & I wanted to say congrats. No crime in that.”

– WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race is advertised to host SmackDown live events on August 27th, 28th and 29th in the state of Missouri as WWE stops in Cape Girardeau, Springfield and St. Joseph.

- Former WWE champion Mick Foley was backstage at Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown taping from Philadelphia – and we can now confirm that Foley is in negotiations to return to the company.

Foley was asked today by a fan on Twitter whether he would consider working for WWE again. Foley responded:

“Sure, I would – I’m considering it right now.”

- SmackDown star the Big Show is taking a few months off to rest his body. At 39 years old, Big Show is at the point where he can prolong his career by taking time off every now and then for the benefit of his long term health.

- There have been talks of turning Sheamus babyface and having him heel with Mark Henry this fall.

- Here are some recent WWE attendance figures:

* RAW on July 22nd in Springfield, MA drew 4,000 fans for $120,000.
* RAW on July 23rd in Wildwood, NJ drew 6,000 fans for $195,000.
* SmackDown on July 23rd in Pittsburgh, PA drew 4,300 fans for $156,000.
* RAW on July 24th in Upper Marlboro, MD drew 3,300 fans for $112,000.
* SmackDown on July 24th in White Plains, NY was a sellout of 4,300 fans for $180,000.
* Monday Night RAW on July 25th from Hampton, VA was a sellout with 8,000 fans.

- Over the past several months, there have been various reports claiming that Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank winner Alberto Del Rio has been slated to win the WWE championship a few times this year. Thus far, those plans changed each time and he has yet to capture WWE’s top prize.

As noted in an earlier report, WWE’s original plan for Summerslam was for Alberto Del Rio to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase and challenge John Cena for the WWE title at SummerSlam. With SummerSlam taking place from Los Angeles, WWE saw dollar signs in their top heel Mexican star wrestling for the WWE title at a major pay-per-view in a strong hispanic market.

Additionally, WWE had discussed the idea of Del Rio holding the WWE championshpi heading into the company’s tour of Mexico in October.

Plans for Del Rio at Summerslam changed when the decision was made to bring back CM Punk sooner than expected.

According to Dave Meltzer, this is at least the 4th time Del Rio had been scheduled to win the WWE or World Title and it didn’t end up happening.

- Monday’s RAW featured Triple H’s first night in charge as well as the surprise return of WWE title holder CM Punk. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there were actually six different scripts written for RAW – one of which would have resulted in Triple H laying out CM Punk with a pedigree. Although the obvious scenario would be for WWE to capitalize on CM Punk’s recent popularity and push him to the moon, most of the scenarios presented for Monday’s RAW were not to get Punk over, but to emphasize Triple H’s new role as Vince McMahon’s successor. Prior to WWE settling on what we saw unfold on Monday night, the original plan for CM Punk’s return was for him to get attacked and pedigreed by Triple H. Alberto Del Rio then would have come out, cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase against John Cena at SummerSlam. While this would have certainly put Triple H over as a major heel and led to an eventual program with a babyface CM Punk cooler heads prevailed and the angle of Punk getting squashed on the night of his return was scrapped.

- Tyrone Evans (a/k/a Michael Tarver), who was released last month from his contract with WWE following several months of inactivity, posted a bizarre diatribe on his Twitter account today accusing John Cena of feeling threatened by his talent and intentionally fracturing his arm with a chair during a pay-per-view event last year to put him out of commission. The founding Nexus member also alleges that Cena laughed in his face afterwards.

Here is his post in its entirety:

“Family im a baaad man YAHWEH NISSI ,, soooooooo stop me if you heard this one for starters I went from sleeping in a car to being on 2 Wrestlemanias fun fact there soooooo this guy has a dream job but an adv he meets his dream girl assn db on his dream job he was to be away From his kids so he makes it work while spendiing 3 years trying to get his daughter to tampa to live him away from addcict mother

“Now during this dream job he fights trains show crazy potential on the mic regarded as one the best ever in developmental so he moves on ,,,To nxt and raw where he is burried on tv treated like trash back stage to the point where a certain top superstar takes notice of this Guy building steam with his promos back stage and begins to feel threatend so one night on a ppv the champ purposely fractures this Persons arm with a chair and after.the match backstage laughs in his face about it and walks off you know im talking about you just cant see See him anyway he takes out threats to his throne back stage to the point where the even get released from their dream job and ironicaly This guys dream wife leaves him tthreatening to take everything from him a month later on the se day his daughter was to move in with With them now his daughter is hysterical beyond help and has to be sent back home after three years of fighting and one week there

“Hmmmmm makes you wonder is it worth it because in your opinions WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO IS BAD.ENOUGH TO SCARE A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY So I saw to all things mention ME ,,,,,,,,IM THAT BAD MAN ,,,,,,,,,,,YAHWEH NISSI”

– Sarita, who announced three weeks ago via Facebook that she had suffered facial paralysis, continued to wear a protective mask at this past weekend’s TNA Wrestling live events as well as last night’s Impact Wrestling taping in Orlando, Florida. Her condition, however, has improved in the meantime. Sarita is advertised to appear at this weekend’s live events in Texas since the organization is targeting the Hispanic demographic with Mexican America and Sangriento. She will also appear with AJ Styles at Direct Auto Insurance 6630 South Congress Avenue Austin, Texas tomorrow from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

– TNA Wrestling’s annual Turning Point pay-per-view event is scheduled for November 13, 2011 at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

– Gunner and Murphy are advertised to appear at EAW Wrestle War V, which takes place Friday, August 26, 2011 at the National Guard Armory in Wentworth, North Carolina.

– Multiple sources believe Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero, who perform as The Kings of Wrestling for Ring of Honor, will conclude their obligations with the organization next month and join WWE immediately thereafter. Though they are advertised for the August 13th Ring of Honor television taping in Chicago Ridge, Illinois, one source says it’s possible they will debut for WWE—bypassing developmental—before the end of the month. There are also rumors that they could be involved in CM Punk’s current storyline.

– A profile on John Laurinaitis, WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, has been added to the Alumni section on WWE.com. Contrary to CM Punk’s derisive remarks concerning the corporate executive during a pseudo-shoot promo last month on Raw, Laurinaitis is referred as “a respected WWE employee” in his bio. His previous life as “a successful sports-entertainer” in both Japan and the United States is also acknowledged.

– WWE’s Capitol Punishment pay-per-view event featuring R-Truth vs. John Cena drew approximately 200,000 buys, according to business figures released for the month of June 2011 on their corporate website. The preliminary figure is up from 143,000 buys for the previous June’s pay-per-view event, Fatal 4-Way. Capitol Punishment was also up from the previous month’s pay-per-view, Over the Limit, which drew approximately 150,000 buys. Cena was also featured in the main event, but against The Miz in an “I Quit” Match.

– Sin Cara, who is currently serving a 30-day suspension due to his first violation of WWE’s Talent Wellness Program, is advertised for an event WWE.com has just listed; a SmackDown taping in St. Louis, Missouri taking place September 27. Regarding the masked grappler’s status with WWE, many employees are under the impression that management “had decided to cut bait on him.” Creative wasn’t informed until a day or two prior to Money in the Bank that he needed to be written off television and were also told to not “put any thought into any scenarios for him going forward.” A final decision regarding his immediate future has not been made.

- The ratings are in for Monday’s episode of WWE RAW. The July 25th edition of WWE RAW drew 3.2 rating with 4.8 million people watching. A trend worth noting is that show opened with a 3.01 in the first hour and climbed to a 3.4 for the final hour. This week’s viewership was virtually even with last week’s post-Money in the Bank RAW.

- WWE diva Maryse Ouellet has filed for a permanent restraining order against an “extremely disturbing and delusional” fan who she claims is obsessed with her and has threatened to “take her to heaven” with him. According to a report on TMZ.com, the freakshow in question is 61-year-old Lee Silber, who Maryse claims has sent “numerous terrifying letters to my home and left more than 50 voicemails on my personal cell phone all of which are extremely disturbing and delusional.” Maryse tells the L.A. County Superior Court that she fears for her life and wants the stalker kept away from her at any cost. She’s due back in court on August 3rd to follow up on the restraint order request.

- Kevin Nash is the latest WWE personality to give praise to CM Punk, offering the former WWE champion his protection services:

“Still up trying to unwind from todays shoot.2-3 days left on Rock of Ages. Enjoying Raw, Punk doing a great job. Punk if you want back up you got my number. Your worth me going back on the road full time. Offer stands understand if you want to go it alone.”

He added that he misses that rush he felt when he made a surprise appearance at the Royal Rumble. Nash is currently filming the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway show Rock of Ages, which stars Tom Cruise, Mary J. Blige, Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones..

- Alberto Del Rio has once again been victimized by WWE’s haphazard booking as his long planned match with John Cena at SummerSlam was nixed hours before last night’s Raw telecast in Hampton, Virginia. Creative overhauled the match line-up for SummerSlam Monday afternoon after deeming their creative plans for CM Punk for the event as “awful.” Del Rio was effectively removed from the title picture as a result. WWE’s braintrust felt that had Punk not been slotted in the title match, his much talked about storyline would extinguish. Though Del Rio had the rug pulled out from under him once again, creative has the 34-year-old pegged for a title run this fall. WWE announced today they will present a landmark tour across Mexico this October and a number of high ranking officials feel the countryman returning as a conquering hero will garner a great deal of media attention. Meanwhile, The Miz was at one point scheduled to reign supreme in the WWE Championship Tournament on Raw. Creative later changed their mind and the WWE Championship was awarded to Rey Mysterio, who got to hold the belt for approximately an hour and a half.

- WWE’s “new CEO” Triple H turns 42 years old today.

- Monday’s RAW featured 40 minutes and 6 seconds of in-ring action, up a bit from the week before.

Hmmm, you mean to tell me the PPV that Truth was headlining significantly outdrew the previous month's PPV's numbers AND the previous June's numbers?? This match was the one where Truth didn't get his rematch, right? Hmmm, you don't say.

Wake up, WWE, ya racist bastards!!!

Okay, this is some crazy shit right here. He's accusing Cena of sabotaging him and being jealous of his talent?? I just don't see this happening, and Tarver really seems to be high on himself here. He's gonna break his wrist from stroking himself so much. I didn't even remember who this mofo was until I looked him up! Does anyone here think any of this is true? He could've kept the personal bullshit out, though. Nobody cares about his kid or marriage, to be honest! lol

July 28th News & Notes (gleaned from several sources):

Okay, this is some crazy shit right here. He's accusing Cena of sabotaging him and being jealous of his talent?? I just don't see this happening, and Tarver really seems to be high on himself here. He's gonna break his wrist from stroking himself so much. I didn't even remember who this mofo was until I looked him up! Does anyone here think any of this is true? He could've kept the personal bullshit out, though. Nobody cares about his kid or marriage, to be honest! lol

if u didn't post this picture i wouldn't know who the fuck it was either lol

Say it ain't so, Sin Cara!! He better get that ego in check or else!

Smackdown Spoilers (to be aired 7/29):

Big pop for Booker T and lots of heat for Michael Cole when the commentators were introduced. Smackdown opened with Triple H making his entrance. He cut a promo on the state of the World Heavyweight Championship. Christian interrupted and talked about how Teddy Long has tried to run Smackdown into the ground. Hunter said that interrupting him is like slapping him in the face.

Triple H announced Christian vs. Randy Orton in a No Holds Barred Match for SummerSlam.

R-Truth came out and said he was there to continue what they started on Raw. He talked of the conspiracy against him. Triple H announced R-Truth vs Randy Orton for Smackdown, and also announced that Christian vs. John Morrison was up next.

Backstage, Triple H and Teddy Long were interrupted by Zack Ryder. Hunter announced that Ryder will be Long's new assistant.

1. Christian defeated John Morrison. Christian really played up the heel antics. Morrison looked great in his return match, according to Wesley. There was a botched reversal at one point that looked bad. In the end, Morrison executed a backdrop off the top rope and tried unsuccessfully to follow up with Starship Pain. Christian hit the Killswitch and got the win. Jim labeled it an "excellent TV match."

Wade Barrett cut a promo regarding Daniel Bryan. Bryan interrupted only to take a cheap shot from Barrett. Bryan countered and made Barrett tap to the LeBell Lock.

Ryder and Long were shown backstage with Mark Henry. Ryder said he would find Henry an opponent. Henry said Long better thank his assistant.

The Nexus vs. The Uso Brothers was advertised for later in the show.

2. Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, and Melina defeated Natalya, AJ, and Kaitlyn. AJ has improved, according to Wesley. Fox hit her axe kick on Kaitlyn and got the pin.

There was a Justin Gabriel video that showed him at home in South Africa.

3. Mark Henry beat Bobby Heller. Heller is a local wrestler from the Philly area. Henry destroyed him in a squash with two World Strongest Slams and a killer backbreaker.

Henry grabbed a chair, but Teddy Long stopped him from using it by saying he had a lawsuit pending and no one wants to fight him. Sheamus mades his entrance and said he will fight Henry. Sheamus slapped Henry and then tossed him out of the ring. Sheamus grabbed a chair and Henry retreated.

4. Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga defeated The Uso Brothers to retain the WWE Tag Titles. The Uso Brothers did their tribal dance to no reaction whatsoever. New Nexus came out to Justin Gabriel's theme song. Weird. The Uso Brothers showed a lot of energy and worked in some double team moves. However, McGillicutty hit his neckbreaker to get the win for his team.

Backstage, Ryder booked Ezekiel Jackson in a handicap match against Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes.

Another pointless Johnny Curtis vignette was shown. Wesley said there have been consistent C.M. Punk chants throughout the show.

R-Truth was interviewed backstage by Matt Striker. He said he's going to swoop down like a bunch of eagles on a snake when he faces Orton. Wesley labeled it a great promo.

5. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase beat Ezekiel Jackson in a handicap match. Decent heat for the heels. The paper bag men were out for the crowd. DiBiase started and was getting destroyed. He tagged Cody, who tagged back to Ted. DiBiase applied a sleeper. Zeke picked him up with one arm. Zeke had Cody in the Torture Rack, but Ted broke it up and Cody hit CrossRhodes for the win.

Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali cut a promo from a luxury suite. It was hard to make out what was said since there was great heat and USA chants.

6. R-Truth beat Randy Orton by DQ. Truth came out to a little heat, while Orton got the thunderous ovation. R-Truth received "sucks" chants and sold it by looking pissed. Truth got in a lot of offense and some near falls. Orton came back and then Christian came out. Randy hits a DDT off the ropes and struck the Viper's Pose.

Truth saw the RKO coming and dipped out of ring. Christian distracted Orton. Truth got his water bottle and hit Orton with it. Orton mocked Truth and drank water. He followed up with a Thesz Press and punches. Orton hit Truth with a chair for a DQ. Christian ran to the stage. Orton hit a pair of RKO's on Truth on the announcers' table to big pops.

Dark Match

1. Christian defeated Randy Orton in a Street Fight to retain the World Hvt. Championship. Teddy Long's music played for roughly five minutes after the previous match before Zack Ryder finally came out and set up the dark match. Christian said Philly does not deserve a Street Fight for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Christian said he hasn't met one tough person from Philly and he said they will not see a RKO on him tonight. Great heel work by Christian. The Crowd ate it up. In the end, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase came out and distracted Orton, and Christian rolled up Randy for the pin. Orton hit RKO's on everyone to close the show.

i wanted 2 wait and watch the show b4 i commented and maybe if i read this b4 i watched it, then i wouldn't have been appalled by what i saw.

i'm seeing a fucked up pattern happening in the WWE or something that has been continuing 2 happen for years:

mark henry is SUPPOSED 2 be wrecking people left and right. if not why bill him "the worlds strongest man" ..but lets send in shames 2 save the day from this big bad man

ezekel.. another strong man gets done in by 2 guys. hmmm i can semi let this one pass due 2 the numbers gang..but again someone of ezekel's physique should have put them home 2 bed running 2 their mama

then we have r truth and what randy did 2 him after the dq...really? seriously? gotta put the man who's calling it like it is 2 everyone about the conspiracy but is "silenced" by a raving lunatic fan favorite

now what do mark, ezekel and r truth have in common? *waves the hand in front of the face cause ur not supposed 2 see the "card"*

think about it

I give up. What do they have in common? I don't get it.

To be honest, I almost forget Ezekial even exists. I can't remember the last match he's one or the last one that was for the title. I'm all for the bruthas gettin' ahead, but he bores me to tears. He's got ZERO personality, but his loss here did make sense since it was 2-on-1. Hoooowever, I seem to remember Cena going up against the tag team champs in a handicap match and winning. Easily. So, I do hear you, though.

I'm just glad Truth actually got a win. I'm hoping he has NOT been demoted to SD full-time now. And yes, we all know SD is a demotion, because the WWE doesn't really care about that show. When important news or whatever breaks out, it ALWAYS happens on their flagship show, Raw. Besides, Truth's promos work so much better in a live environment. Going to SD would be a smack in the face. Send Morrison, I don't care. Just not Truth. BUT, if he actually gets to have a title on SD - something he'll probably never do on Raw - I might be for the move.

I'm actually not gonna bitch too much about what Randy Boreton did to Truth after the match because he did the same thing to Christian at MITB. But, you knew they couldn't just let the match end with Truth getting the rub. Boreton had to have the last laugh. God, his character SUCKS!!!!

R U serious?

and you consider Christian to be a must see champion. Golf excites me

more than Christian. I agree with you on Truth. I love his new character

but come on i would kiss Karma's big toe if they let RTruth become champion.

with cm punk on rawr and the way they either keep screwing ADR's future title run, Truth it smees won't get a title run agin for a while, so maybe if he did go bck 2 SD he might have a better shot there of winning the title

And what's so exciting about Boreton? All he does is make Bushwacker faces now and ANY of his promos are all monotone with no personality. I'm hoping the "voices in his head that talk to him" tell him to just go home and stay there!

I read this recently of Billy Gunn being apologetic towards Triple H:

With a career spanning more than two decades, Kip "Billy Gunn" Sopp has had plenty of high points. To many fans of the WWF Attitude Era, Gunn is most remembered as DX's "Mr. Ass". Alongside Road Dogg, X-Pac, Chyna, and Triple H, Billy created some unforgettable TV moments. However, when he left the company in 2004, he made waves with some harsh comments pointed at his former DX stable mate Triple H. He lashed out at the Game and appeared to blame him for his WWE departure. Years removed from those comments, James Guttman asks Bad Ass Billy about those stinging shots. Gunn takes responsibility and explains some of his reasoning to ClubWWI.com members:

"Know what it was? I didn't want to take the blame for what I had done- things that I was doing, things that (made it so) they couldn't keep me around. I just couldn't take it that (WWE) called me and said - not that this matters - but they had said that when I'm done wrestling, "there will always be a spot here for you as an agent or something like that." I love helping other people. I love teaching now. I love trying to give away what I have if anyone is interested in knowing a little of what I know. My frustration came out on the one person that was the main guy there and that was Hunter. I just opened fire on him because it was all about me and not wanting to take responsibility for me and my actions."

Guttman asks Gunn if his position has changed on Hunter. ClubWWI.com members are familiar with wrestlers unloading on the authority figures in WWE, but it's rare that someone owns up to saying something they regret in hindsight. But that's what Billy does…

"Has my position changed with him? Yeah. It has. Do I want to pick up the phone every day and call him to apologize? Yeah. Because it was something I did out of selfishness and the selfish person that I was back then. Not that I blame it on anything, but I had a bunch of things going on in my life that was really not that good. I took it out on him and, like I said, I wasn't taking responsibility for my own actions. That's what I did.

"I lashed out at him and everybody I could and I had somebody who was willing to listen and let me go on a live shoot tape to say whatever I wanted. Why would I not? It was all about making me look better and making someone else look bad. I know now that people were going, "Yeah, well it's really just you. It's not anyone else." So yeah. I regret what I did then and for sure now because I'm sure something like that is keeping me from being back there training people. I wish I could change it, but I can't change it. So I just have to live with the things I've done and the actions that I do from here on forward."

Here's the video of some of the things Gunn said of Triple H. Also check out Road Dogg's jealousy of The Rock at 3:40. It almost sounds like a man-crush! Lol!:

Gunn's apology just sounds like he wants a job again with WWE, so he's trying to rebuild bridges he burned down after he left. If he was really that apologetic, he would've picked up the phone or personally emailed Trips and apologized. Not just saying it in an interview, hoping he's reading it.

This particular skit may not be the funniest, but Eric Young the character is probably the most entertaining character TNA's got, IMO. In a company where most of the wrestlers are derivative of one another, I find something about him a little refreshing.

Check out his attempt to be an actor:

[Edited 7/31/11 2:48am]

Why do Otunga and Mr. Perfect's son (His in ring last name is too long ) have the tag team belts. When they were on Smackdown, I remembered they had them. When did they even win them?

AND WHY DID THEY BEAT THE USO TWINS?! Otunga and Perfect Jr are both incredibly lame. They bring as much entertainment as a Kelly Kelly vs. Bella Twin match
