    Glad to post back here, it's been a while. Kennedy could have a permanent injury, so yeah, they still need to rehab him. He'd fit great into a commentary role. He might be annoying to some, yet no-ones as annoying a Michael "Vintage" Cole. Kennedy > Cole. :)

    It is. If he had never have that injury, he'll probably be World Champion by now.

    Not me. Carlito as a World Champion would seem wrong in so many ways. MVP has a better shot of winning it on Raw than Carlito does in becoming a contender.

    WWE Source Talks About Development System Problems
    By Brad Ingles

    One WWE source said that one of the main issues with WWE is their development system. The source said they seen all of the development talent training when the last did TV in Florida and no one stood out. According to the source, Shelton Benjamin is not the right person to train the talent. Benjamin was a gifted athlete, and majority of the development talent does not possess the same athleticism. The source feels that the development talent needs to learn from skilled veterans such as Dean Malenko, Ricky Steamboat and Arn Anderson.

    Top WWE Star Possibly Undergoing Surgery
    By Daniel Pena

    sources: www.f4wonline.com, The Sun

    -- Undertaker is suffering from both knee and hip problems and wasn't brought to last week's SmackDown/ECW duel taping as a result. At the show, there was talk he would be undergoing minor surgery on his knee, but nobody seemed to know for sure. There was also a feeling that his knee could have more serious damage when opened up.

    Oh, God. Noooooo! 'Taker. D:

    I hope he'll be okay. This should open more eyes on those who thinks that he's still fit to wrestle.

    Undertaker should be fine. He's been icing his knees since before WrestleMania before and after every show and besides, it's only minor surgery. He should only be out for a few months or maybe even a few weeks.

    Your idea of all these young people being better than Undertaker is wrong.


    When was the last time Benjamin, Miz, Kennedy, and MVP had some top gold meaning World heavyweight championship and WWE championship?

    The Florida Times-Union reported today the city of Jacksonville has entered in the bidding for WrestleMania sometime in 2012-14. Mike Bouda, Jacksonville Economic Commission's sports director, is awaiting word back from WWE officials about holding the event at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

    It is still early in the bid process, so no prices have been negotiated for stadium rental, according to Bouda.

    By Daniel Pena

    -- Jeremy Borash noted on his Twitter page (twitter.com/JeremyBorash) that Elijah Burke was backstage at last night's Impact taping in Orlando.

    Borash wrote: "Met Elijah Burke last night backstage at the iMPACT! tapings in Orlando. Nice guy..."

    Following his release from World Wrestling Entertainment this past November, Burke is free to appear on national television again as his 90-day no-compete clause expired earlier in the year.

    -- In hopes of boosting the paid attendance for their upcoming Slammiversary pay-per-view in Detroit, TNA is offering a $7 General Admission ticket.

    That Slammiversary ticket deal is crazy and if I was in the area, I would go.

    WWE Looking To Develop New Stars
    By Brad Ingles

    Stephanie McMahon held a meeting with the wrestlers at the last TV tapings and said that the company is looking to develop new stars. She said that there will be no holdbacks and for everyone to work as hard they can to achieve success. Wrestlers were also encouraged to come up with ideas for their characters and storylines. This is a major change for midcard talent, as in the past if you were not a top star then suggestions were not taken seriously. Some are skeptical on if this will lead to major creative changes for the company in the future, as most talent feel the only way to get over is during their promos, as majority of the crowd are not focused on their superb in-ring work.

    --------------------------------------------
    So...it only took the WWE 8 years to figure this out. They have been squandering much of the great talent for many many years. These stars went to TNA or Japan or Mexico, and are succeeding. TNA capitalized on this talent glut and have the stars they do thanks to it. They've also locked most of them in on multi-year contracts with MUCH less travel then WWE.

    On top of that, WWE has the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels going out in the next year (Though only one has been confirmed). Several others are getting up in age (HHH, Batista, Kane).

    TNA has a similar issue (Sting year, Angle questionable, Stiner is a disaster), but has the young talent, and access to Indy and overseas talent to back them up.

    The only thing that can help the WWE is money, but even they are not spending. PLUS, they squander all the TNA talent they've got. Haven't use one properly yet, except for Monty Brown.
