Ever since Eddie Guerrero passed away, the morale in the WWE locker rooms has dipped to an all-time low. Many WWE Superstars, such as Tajiri, have left the company because they felt that a huge chunk of WWE died along with Eddie. Meanwhile, Randy Orton continues to make derogatory remarks on Eddie on Byte This! and other radio interviews. And yes, Benoit vs. Samoa Joe would absolutely rule.

It pretty much blows their minds. That match, by the way, is the 2nd of 3 5-star rated matches that Joe was in, in the span of roughly a year and a half. If ratings from Meltzer mean anything nowadays, that is still impressive for someone of his age and experience. The other two were Joe/Punk 2 and Joe/Kobashi, which I HIGHLY reccomend.
areaseven Posted February 4, 2006 Author Posted February 4, 2006 Some wrestling news (from TOPWRESTLING.com): - There may be an official announcement this month about TNA Impact!'s new time slot on SpikeTV. If confirmed, the show will move from Saturdays @ 11:00 p.m. to Thursdays @ 8:00 p.m. And is Vinnie Mac's on-screen character taking him over off-screen? When the story regarding Vince McMahon being accused of groping a worker at a tanning salon in Boca Raton, FL last Sunday broke out a few days back, WWE has been receiving nothing but headaches. Another story was published today in the Boca Raton News, apparently Vince is seeking a divorce from Linda.- Below is the Full article copied word for word The chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment could face assault charges for allegedly groping a Boca Raton tanning salon worker Sunday afternoon, according to a police report. A clerk at the Tanzabar Salon on North Federal Highway accused Vincent K. McMahon, 60, of trying to kiss her and of running his hands over her body as she tried to clean the tanning bed he had just used. The report said the 22-year-old woman pushed him away, "rejected his advances" and "walked out of the tanning room." Before using the tanning bed, the report said, McMahon asked the clerk to take several pictures of himself with his camera phone to send to his girlfriend. Then, the report said, he showed her nude and semi-nude photos of himself. After the incident, she said, McMahon - who listed an address on South Ocean Boulevard in Boca Raton - went outside to his black Hummer and sat there for about 20 minutes. Police did not take McMahon into custody. They took a sworn statement from the clerk, which will be submitted into evidence. Police said they will have to speak with McMahon about the incident. His attorney reportedly said the suspect could not have been McMahon because he was out of town on Sunday. No charges have yet been filed against McMahon, police said. According to his biography on the Internet, McMahon started in the wrestling business when his father, Vincent McMahon Sr., hired his son as an announcer. He went on to manage the World Wrestling Federation after his father retired in 1982. The wrestling boss has had tussles with the law before. In 1992, his biography says, he was accused of supplying wrestlers with steroids. Although he was acquitted, the trial forced McMahon into a two-year wrestling hiatus. He is also reportedly seeking a divorce from his wife, Linda.
Apollo Leader Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Also it's come out in recent weeks that the Ultimate Warrior is taking Vince McMahon/WWE to court over that DVD they put out about him a few months ago. Suck to be Vince these days!
areaseven Posted February 5, 2006 Author Posted February 5, 2006 That's just one of many wrestling-related lawsuits going on. Here are some other ones: 1. Diamond Dallas Page sues Jay-Z for using the Diamond gesture without permission. Jay-Z should've apologized and stopped using DDP's trademark, but he made matters worse by saying, "F-U!" to DDP. 2. Brock Lesnar sues WWE to contest his no-compete clause. Sorry, Brock, but it's your own damn fault.
areaseven Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 I should be hyped up over the return of SNME, but I'm not. Twenty years ago, SNME was the wrestling show to watch, as they had all the biggest names in wrestling history - Hogan, Savage, Andre, etc. Now, all we have is HHH and people who really can't do much at all. Hell, even the worst SNME episode can still beat any WrestleMania made today in terms of entertainment value. In order to make SNME worth watching, WWE has to make it much better than RAW. As a matter of fact, they have to make it better than TNA Impact!, which is, at this moment, next to impossible.

areaseven Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 April Fools Day? 370238[/snapback] I thought the same thing. Last time WWE announced Bret's return on RAW, nothing happened. Instead, we have the Vinnie Mac screwing HBK angle. Last year, Bret appeared at RVD's 5-Star Comics to sign autographs, but left L.A. on the day of WrestleMania 21, thus killing all rumors of him showing up at the PPV. Though the WWE Hall of Fame falls on April 1, expect Bret to show up. After all, he and Vinnie Mac have already buried the hatchet, as we've seen on Bret's DVD.

Also, I don't think that Vinnie Mac wants Bret to work for TNA anytime soon and pulling a "stunt" would only further aggrivate the situation. Imagine Bret going to TNA and forming a face Hart Foundation to fight the heel team Canada

areaseven Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 And so, another wrestler has fallen... Mike "Johnny Grunge" Durham was pronounced dead on arrival at an Atlanta area hospital this morning.The only available details were he was at a friend's house in Peachtree City, GA, and was gasping for air and rushed to the hospital. The preliminary diagnosis from the hospital is that it was said to have to do with complications from sleep apnea. Grunge and the late Rocco Rock (Ted Petty), as the tag team of Public Enemy, were the first major stars created by ECW in a program against The Funk Brothers. They became ECW's most popular act, to the point they were subject to a bidding war of sorts between WCW and WWF. However, taken out of the ECW environment, they weren't as successful. Grunge, whose age is believed to be 39, was said by friends to have never been the same since Petty's death. Credit: Wrestling Observer

Vinnie Mac then told him that he just "opened the floodgates of his personal hell." - Trish in another stupid love triangle storyline? - Wow...Edge started the year as Champion, and now, he's feuding with Foley?

j_wong00 Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Question for you A7. From your posts, you've seemed... less then impressed with what's happening in pro-wrestling, so why are you still watching? Holding out hope it'll get better ? Just to let you know, I do find it amusing when you comment on them.
areaseven Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 From your posts, you've seemed... less then impressed with what's happening in pro-wrestling, so why are you still watching? 371305[/snapback] I still watch wrestling because it's been a part of my life since birth. It doesn't matter how bad WWE is these days - I'll still watch RAW occasionally. However, I watch TNA more often, as they have a much better product than WWE. And I just ordered a dvd from the Canadian-based International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS), which is supposedly more hardcore than the old ECW.
Zor Primus Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 While waiting on Friday night to go out I tuned into Smackdown...this show in my opinion has gone down the proverbial shitter...with a single exception. The Good: Super Crazy, wow I had no idea this ex-ECW star had made it into WWE. It was very refreshing to see him in action. Granted it was jobbing Gregory Helms with the other Cruiserweights but his somersault brought back fond memories of the last time I saw a live ECW event. The Bad: Michael Cole and Taz still suck as an announcing team. After all these years they still seem to force their commentary. Booker T coming down I guess as a heel now to the ring and call a match was like listening to Macho Man speak in ebonics. The Ugly: The Boogie Man...wtf is this guy? Eating worms? Come on this is wrestling not fear factor. The first impression I got of this guy was that he reminded me of: Nuff said..
areaseven Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 A buddy of mine told me that the Boogeyman was some homeless dude who lived in Venice Beach, CA, and pumped weights at the public gym before WWE decided to pick him up. And it's been reported that he does eat live worms backstage. As for Cole and Tazz, WWE is keeping him because: 1) Cole supposedly has mic skills, but doesn't know all the holds; and 2) Tazz is there to explain the holds to Cole, even though he has no mic skills. BTW, did you watch TNA Impact! last Saturday?
