What Stone Cold Says….

Howdy there everyone,

Reading through some wrestling gossip today, I came across this little gem.
Stone Cold Steve Austin has said on his Twitter account that he thinks Fandango will be the Intercontinental Champion within 6-8 months.

“BOLD PREDICTION-FANDANGO WILL BE IC CHAMP WITHIN 6-8 MONTHS. #WWE You heard it here first. #steveaustinshow”

Honestly, like most people, I can actually see that happening sooner rather then later. I mean, with all this FANDANGOING going on lately it wouldn’t surprise me if he became the new champion within the next 6-8 weeks. But, I do trust Stone Cold so I guess we shall have to see what's happening.

Oh, and for all of you who are wondering what “Fandangoing” is, check out the link here.

Have fun and take care everyone.

I did a post last year Releases=soon? where I put down who I thought was most at risk. Some of them have been released so I’ll just go through that list….

  • Alex Riley
  • Evan Bourne
  • JTG
  • Mason Ryan
  • Michael McGuillicutty
  • Rey Mysterio

Now, for the color coding for you all….

Purple means that they are safe as/been featured on the shows recently…
Red means they are in danger of being released this year
Orange means that they are in a relative ‘safe zone’ but not out of the woods yet….
The ones in normal colour are the ones that I’m not sure about whether or not they’re safe and lastly….
The ones with the strikethrough have already been released.

So there we have it. If you don’t agree with my list. Let me know what you think….

Have fun and take care everyone Smile

The WWE Walkout contreversey of 2011

Hi there everyone,
Recently I did a blog post called "Some WWE news for today" in which I commented about the recent walkout on RAW with Superstars, Divas, Officials, Announcers and others against Triple H. There was a unanimous vote of no confidence against Triple H as COO and it is said to be due to 'unsafe working environment'.
WWE.com has a couple of articles up about the walkout and how it came about. The first one is "The WWE RAW SuperShow walkout: What You Need To Know" and it talks about how the walkout was inspired by Mr David Otunga after superstars had been seeing him for legal advice over Triple H and how he has been handling things (Miz/Truth ring any bells???). John Laurinaitis, EVP of Talent Relations in the WWE, had said to the Game to call all the RAW stars to come down to the ring and vote on the confidence that they had in the Game in the day-to-day operations of WWE. The result was the walkout which I can understand. After the show Superstars and Divas took to WWE.com and to Twitter to explain themselves and why they walked out on the Game.
Triple H has told WWE.com that he is not stepping down from his position and that he doesn't know what is going on with the wrestlers of today. He referred to an era in wrestling some time ago where, if you had a problem, you settled it in the ring.
The other article that I found was "Is the walkout creating breakout opportunities for young Superstars?" and my personal response immediatly was "Yes!" This would be the perfect oppurtunity for some up-and-coming superstars to push themselves into the limelight and say "I belong here!"
The superstars mentioned in the article that could benefit from this were Zack Ryder, Alex Riley,Yoshi Tatsu, Tyson Kidd and Sin Cara. Others that I think should of been mentioned were Brodus Clay, Johnny Curtis, Mason Ryan, Michael McGillicutty and Trent Baretta. These young and up-coming stars should push themselves forward and say that they are ready to take the next step. They should break away from the pack and forge their own path towards becoming the next John Cena or Randy Orton. It's the perfect oppurtunity and I think personally that they could benefit from it very well.
But we shall see what happens on RAW this week in regards to the protest that's being held and what happens at the show itself. I personally can't wait to see what happens ;)

That is all for now.
Until next time,
You know you love me

Future Endeavours

Hi there one and all,
Hope you all had a great day. I was looking at a fellow bloggers site yesterday and came across a video where they talked about who they think will be 'future endeavored' by WWE. I found it quite interesting and so I thought that I would make a list of superstars who I think will be future endeavored in the future. Real soon future.
Here are the names of the stars that I think will be released soon....
Alicia Fox
Chris Masters
Curt Hawkins
DH Smith
Drew McIntyre
Gail Kim
Goldust
Husky Harris
The Uso's
Johnny Curtis
JTG
Kaitlyn
Melina
Primo
Ranjin Singh
Rosa Mendes
Sin Cara
Skip Sheffield
Tamina
Trent Barreta
Tyler Reks
Tyson Kidd
Vladimir Kozlov

Now, alot of these names, to me anyway, just seem to be there to make up the numbers for the WWE. Alot of the diva's are only being used in multi-tag matches and really there is no point in having them. WWE would be much better off cutting some of the excess from their rosters and bringing in people who are more appealing to the audience and will get air time. Tyler Reks is someone who springs to mind when I say that because they last time that I ever saw him was in the Royal Rumble. If your going to have people on the roster, at least make sure that you are going to use them. Not just leave them there. Silly silly WWE.
Anyway, that is all from me for now.
Until next time,
You know you love me

P.S. The blog that I got the idea from is called 'Below the Belt'. You can find them here . Quite an interesting watch too. Have fun :)

Jeff Hardy Situation

  • Embarrassed
  • Upset
  • Unhappy
  • Bad
  • Problems
  • Concerned
  • Humiliated
  • Struggles
  • Pathetic
  • Hardship
  • Disappointed
These are all words relating to Jeff Hardy and his life right now. He is currently facing multiple charges relating to drugs and has had an ongoing trial since 2009. His performance at TNA's pay-per-view 'Victory Road' was less than his normal 5 star match. Many people are calling for him to be fired.  So where does this leave him?

On September 11, 2009 Jeff Hardy was found to be in possession of multiple drugs which included:
  • 262 doses of Vicodin
  • 180 Soma prescription pills
  • 55 millilitres of anabolic steroids
  • Residual amount of cocaine and
  • drug paraphanalia
He has since been charged with "....trafficking in opium, 2 counts of possession with intent to sell or deliver a controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling to keep a controlled substance, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphenalia." (link)
Despite it now being over 18 months later since he was first charged the trial is still going on with the district attorney asking for a continuance pending the results of lab tests on some of the evidence that was taken from Jeff's home.

At TNA's pay-per-view 'Victory Road' last week, Jeff Hardy was deemed by many to be 'unable to wrestle' and should have been pulled from his match (which was a WORLD TITLE SHOT!) with Sting.
Some sources say that Jeff was late to the building on the day and that he was 'apparently' found lying down in the bathroom. Other sources say that "He was fine all day and then no one could find him...".
Regarding his match at the show, heres my rundown on what I saw (via Youtube..... :D )
  • 0:07-Hardy's music starts
  • 0:52 Hardy appears, taking his time, slow, stumbling, fans still appreaciate him
  • 2:51-Looks like he's limping, might be injured......
  • 7:34- First bell sounds, Stings looking frustrated as Jeff decides where to throw his shirt
  • 9:03-First final bell rings, Sting is declared winner
Many people are saying that when Sting was walking up the ramp after he won the match he looked rathe 'peed off' but many have also said he was professional about the whole situation. Eric Bischoff was also praised with many as he called an 'audible' (if anyone can tell me what that means can you please tell me?) and also how quickly he responded to the situation.

Now, for my point of view.
Honestly, I'm a little confused. I don't know whether to believe it being himself or whther he is just in his 'anti-christ' persona. I'm leaning more towards the character side of things because I don't believe that someone who has recently gotten married and has a child would be like this. Maybe before those but not now.
As I said during the run down of the video, I think Jeff looks like he's injured. It's a possibility. To me, that may be whats happening but the only person who knows that for sure is Jeff.
And also, in regards to whether or not he should be released, I don't think so. Jeff is huge drawcard at his best and I believe that if he was nurtured back to 100% then it would be huge. I also think that TNA also need to put into place a wellness policy so that incidents, should they occur, could be dealt with accordingly.
Maybe it's just me, but I personally, in this situation, would like to believe the saying "Innocent until proven guilty."

For WWE's wellness policy click here
Thats all I have to say for now.
Hope you enjoyed the reading and remember,
You know you love me

ECW dead!


Hey there everyone,
If you watched WWE over the last couple of nights you would've seen that Vince McMahon has basically killed off ECW and is replacing it with a new brand called WWE NXT which is supposed to stand for Next Generation. It's supposed to start in 3 weeks time in the same time slot as ECW was.
In my opinion, I think that thats what he did to ECW and I am glad that now ECW has been put to rest peacefully. It's been, in my opinion, turned into this already by the bringing in of new talent from everywhere and their first port-of-call is ECW. It's sad really because ECW was such a great concept. I do like the old ECW. The innovation....Brilliant! The lifestyle.....Fantastic! And counter culture it was! I loved the old ECW and I am proud to say that.
Now, Tommy Dreamer and Taz, former members of the old ECW, have weighed in on whats happening via twitter messages.
  • Tommy wrote "Many people asked me why I left WWE. If you watched ECW tonight, a piece of the puzzle was revealed for my actions. Stay tuned."
  • Taz wrote "So, WWE ending their 'vision' of ECW (thank god). ANY ORIG ECW wrestlers get a thanks? How about Paul Heyman did he get a thanks? Classy move!"
Taz also wrote a blog explaining his twitter message and what he meant by it. He basically just puts forward the question about why WWE, in particular Vince, didn't really seem to acknowledge the hard workers of ECW (like Paul Heyman!) and could WWE perhaps make a video package to give ECW the proper send off they deserve?
I think that they should. It'd be the right thing to do. It's a company that brought the likes of the Dudley Boys, Taz, Tommy Dreamer and STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN! to the foreground and made these guys huge! And Stone Cold I imagine would be proud to say he was part of the old ECW!
Thats just my opinion anyway.

Until next time everyone, you know you love me xoxo
