URGH
That was a pants PPV IMO. The best part was Shane-O teasing the Punt and then getting a SICK RKO from no where, and HBK's SuperKick was hellaciuos!!!

But thats it.
Im fed up with Edge winning now, he's bascially redoing what HHH did several years ago and its P'ing me off.

Edge's winning is always cool. Happy John Cena lost the title to him.

The Greatest Gym to ever be on PC

Spoiler:
What's done is done with EGL I do not want it to ever be revived, we want to progress to the future and evolve not go back in time. The times we had were fun and the memories will live on in our hearts to those that contribute. Now it's time for the next big thing to have a longer run than us, and thanks to Venks, speedy 101, shinypoke666, evilcheese, Ito_Igami, Ktn, darkspace, dunlop, Abyay, and Umanouski; the Original 12 in EGL and for making this league quite special. I'd also like to thank Shin although he wasn't an original member his contributions throughout the league were apperciated greatly, and I had a real blast meeting/getting to know a lot of you this was a wonderful expirence/journey and hopefully we can all hang again.

That last night was a good, but confusing PPV.

Great that Edge lost
Great that Cena lost
Confusing that Edge won

I loved the first match being the Elimination Chamber.

That was foul... I literally ripped my head of when i heard Shane lost to RKO... (Same when Edge won the Elimination Chamber...) Lolz, I see many people who hate Cena, and many who love him. I'm the guy who would root for Cena.

"You can't see me!"
he did it, not me.

Backstage Problems In TNA

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

-- Among some of the top wrestlers in TNA, there is said to be very little respect for the company these days, with one wrestler specifically naming Booker T as a prime example. Morale underneath is also said to be down, similar to the atmosphere in World Championship Wrestling during its dying days.

One TNA wrestler offered comments to the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer regarding the current backstage atmosphere after reading his thoughts on the problems plaguing the organization.

"You hit the nail on the head with the top guys just having no respect for the place," the TNA wrestler said. "They just d*** around and don't give a s*** what they do. House shows are an even bigger joke.

Take Booker, when he first came in he was gung ho about helping out the younger guys, contributing to the company and now he's the worst and doesn't give a s***."

There is also a feeling that if the wrestlers on the low end of the card performed as badly as some of the wrestlers being pushed at the moment, they'd be fired. However, the wrestlers working badly week after week remain pushed.

"It all starts with the booking. Like you said, it seems as if they have no care of good or bad."


Chris Benoit Ban Lifted

Written by Richard Gray

- "Chris Benoit celebrates his World Championship win with Eddie Guerrero as confetti fills Madison Square Garden – WrestleMania XX" is featured as one of the Top 50 Moments in WrestleMania History on the official WWE website. You can check it out at this link. It certainly appears as if WWE has significantly backed off of their Chris Benoit ban from history. Thanks to WNW reader Alan for sending that tidbit in.

Oh yeah, mid-card talent, I can't wait for this one. :\
Mid-card talent is what makes the WWE. Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H and even (shudders) John Cena were all Mid-carders at some point in their careers.

Plus now WWE can actually use their Mid-carders instead of paying them to do nothing.

In other news:
Vince McMahon is now trying to stop WWE storylines leaking onto the internet;

Spoiler:
Vince McMahon was quite vigilant in making sure that reports of Edge working both Elimination Chamber Matches at Sunday's No Way Out pay-per-view did not hit the Internet before the show.

McMahon was unhappy to say the least (which is putting things mildly) when word got out on Christian being pegged as the guy who attacked Jeff Hardy near a stairwell on the morning of the Survivor Series pay-per-view. This led to a change in plans as Matt Hardy ended up with Christian's spot on SmackDown and Christian getting Matt's top babyface spot on ECW.

To make sure that nobody on WWE's crew knew what was going to happen, McMahon actually ordered the ring crew to put a monstrous tarp over the entire Elimination Chamber in order to prevent people from seeing who was in the ring as the wrestlers worked out how the match was going to be scripted.


So, thanks to the internet rumors of Christian being the man who attacked Jeff backstage at Survivor Series we now have a Matt vs Jeff thing going on and Christian is now on ECW.

Thank you internet, thanks a lot.

Do unto others as they would do unto you, but do it first.

Waaa! I hate internet! Stupid Matt Hardy!
Well, actually, its good this way, I take my insults back.
ECW will probably be Good, if not, then OK. I didnt wanna see Cage being a heel.
As for the Matt & Jeff situation... I dont know how WWE is gonna put then back together after the storyline is finished....
he did it, not me.

WWE Cuts Another Superstar
Written by Luke Parks

- WWE.com announced today that Smackdown Superstar Scotty Goldman has been released:

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of SmackDown Superstar Scotty Goldman (Scott Colton) as of February 20, 2009. WWE wishes Scott the best in all future endeavors.

- Goldman debuted on Smackdown back in August in a loss to The Brian Kendrick. Goldman was used sparingly in the past few months. He was the host of the WWE.com show "What's Crackin' with Scotty Goldman."

- Goldman, also known as "Classic" Colt Cabana, is best known for his work in Ring of Honor as well as the short-lived Wrestling Society X.

WWE lost a major talent with this one, his work in WSX was better then good. Shame.

Yesterday's Smackdown was ill. Shame that the main event had to end the way it did. Matt and Jeff next week, right?
Smackdown lately has sucked. Hasn't been good in a few years as the WWE is developing no good talent, AND the good Talent they bring in from TNA is never used well. Also, they strip off talent to support the mukty show called RAW. That show is so bad compared to the 1990's its not even funny.

Another Wrestler Departing From TNA Wrestling
By Daniel Pena

source: PWInsider.com

X Division wrestler Sonjay Dutt, 26, is the latest wrestler to part ways with TNA. His contract was coming up next month and the two sides weren't able to come to terms on a new deal.

The departure caught a few people by surprise as he was a big part of the company's face in India, where Impact is a high rated show.

While he hadn't been used much in recent months, his name was still coming up in creative meetings as recently as last week, so company officials were looking to keep him on board until sometime this weekend.

As a result of Dutt's departure from the organization, it remains to be seen where SoCal Val goes from here. She had been working as his valet in recent months following the conclusion of his feud with "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal.

The TNA website has already removed his profile from the roster page, thus confirming his departure from the organization.

Debut Set For "WWE Superstars" Show, Three WWE Stars Up For Award
By Daniel Pena

-- The official website of WGN America is running a contest for a trip to two to WrestleMania XXV in Houston, Texas. The contest ends two weeks from new on March 8th with runner-ups receiving copies of WWE's Legends of WrestleMania video game. To enter the contest, click here.

WGN America is also running ads on television for the contest, as well as the new "WWE Superstars" show. According to the ad, the show will debut on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. The ad says Superstars from RAW, SmackDown and ECW will be on the program.

As reported earlier today, the WWE Draft scheduled for April 13th at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia will be a three-hour program. Due to the three-hour Draft, WWE probably won't be able to tape a slate of matches for the show's debut. If that's the case, the first "Superstars" taping will take place the very next week when Raw is at the London O2 Arena in the United Kingdom.

The new "WWE Superstars" show is expected to be a "C-Show," so it will likely feature Superstars having trouble getting ring time on the televised Raw, SmackDown and ECW programs. On Friday, we did a report listing the WWE Superstars who have competed in two matches or less on television so far this year. To recap, here is a list of the Superstars and Divas you can probably expect to regularly see on the program:

Superstars: Charlie Haas, Curt Hawkins, DJ Gabriel, Dolph Ziggler, Festus, Goldust, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Hurricane Helms, Jamie Noble, Jesse, Jimmy Wang Yang, Kizarny, Kung Fu Naki, Manu, Ricky Ortiz, Sim Snuka, and Zack Ryder.

Divas: Alicia Fox, Brie Bella, Candice Michelle, Katie Lea Burchill, Maria, Mickie James, Natalya, and Nikki Bella.

With the new "WWE Superstars" show taking place, it should also be taken into account that WWE will likely ease up on calling up developmental talent to the main roster (especially those on the bubble) because there should be less pressure to instantly succeed. WWE can tryout out new wrestlers and gimmicks before deciding whether to regularly feature them on the main shows or not.

No word yet on who the commentators for the show will be. WWE has former Velocity announcer Josh Mathews calling matches in developmental promotion Florida Championship Wrestling, so if WWE has plans to use someone new, he looks to be the best bet. As far as the ring announcer is concerning, it will probably be Lilian Garcia as the show is being taped before Raw and she's already available in the building. Garcia handled the ring announcing duties for WWE Heat through the show's demise last May.

Freddie Prinze, Jr. Leaving WWE
By Daniel Pena

source: PWInsider.com

-- It has been confirmed that Hollywood actor, writer and producer Freddy Prinze, Jr. has parted ways with World Wrestling Entertainment. Prinze had been working under Michael Hayes on the creative team for SmackDown.

Internally, Prinze's departure from the company is not being seen as much of a surprise as he had attended very few television tapings in recent weeks. One wrestler said he hadn't noticed Prinze at a television taping in about two months.

We never got any feedback on how Prinze was doing on the creative team, but he was well liked by the wrestlers since he is such a huge fan of the industry.

The actor joined the company last July after attending several major WWE events in the years prior.

WWE Interested In Released TNA Star
By Daniel Pena

-- As reported earlier, Sonjay Dutt has parted ways with TNA Wrestling. According to a source, Dutt has reached out to World Wrestling Entertainment, reports ProWrestling.NET. WWE has expressed some interest in signing the former X Division wrestler to a deal.
