Yeah, I feel sorry for Edge.
I heard he's not coming back until early 2010.
 
Update On Jeff Hardy's Contract Status
By Brad Ingles

WWE officials are under the impression that Jeff Hardy will take time off when his contract expires in a couple of weeks. There have been discussions of Hardy working a short-term deal through the SummerSlam PPV. The general feeling backstage is that it would be smart to sign through SummerSlam to get the big payoff. Wrestlers who were set to leave the company in the past have complained about the PPV payoffs, but the major difference with Hardy is that he is not leaving for another company. WWE officials want Hardy to return, and he should expect a big payday if he works SummerSlam.

So where not going to be seeing Jeff Hardy for a while? Thank Goodness. =)
 
Sucks that Edge is injured. By far the best wrestler in the E at the moment. I wonder what they are going to do with the tag titles. I hope they pair Ziggler up with Jericho. Ziggler is gold, and working with Jericho is just what he needs to get him to the next level.

While I am at it, Smackdown is by far the best wrestling show at the moment. It has a great mixture of experience and young talent. The matches are always high quality and it steals the show at every ppv since the draft. Punk, Hardy, Jericho, Edge, Rey and Taker when he returns gives the show experience and people like Ziggler and Morrison get a chance to move up the card. Unlike Raw, which has the stale main event of Cena/Triple H/Orton/Batista part 32659823468273052759384, and guys like MVP, Miz, Matt Hardy and soon to be Swagger and Bourne being jobbed out.
 
Beserker, I totally agree with you. Ziggler, when I first saw him, I thought he was a punk. I still think he is, but a punk with talent. Lolz. Though fix the look.

Smackdown is indeed the best show. I think the RAW superstars need to switch to SD!. Hmmm...Hope RKO and Cena get drafted to SD!. :P

WWE PPV Buyrates
By Michael Bluth

-- The Pay-Per-View buyrates are in for WrestleMania, Backlash and Judgement Day and the numbers are not pretty. WrestleMania 25 fell short of the coveted "1 million buys" threshold the company always shoot for, bringing in approximately 970,000 buys. Backlash, which was presented just 3 weeks after WrestleMania, did approximately 185,000 buys. Judgment Day did approximately 235,000 buys. It's worth noting that all three of these events did fewer sales than in 2007 or 2008. (Source: PWInsider.com)


WWE Wants SummerSlam PPV To Be Like WrestleMania
By Brad Ingles

WWE would like SummerSlam to become an annual event similar to WrestleMania, and have used the idea of the Fan Axxess event for this year's PPV. The plan is to host the PPV in major cities in hopes of the public acknowledging that this is WWE's second biggest show of the year.

There is an issue with this year's event with there being only 30 days between this month's Night of Champions PPV and the SummerSlam PPV. The general feeling in the company is that 30 days is not enough time to build up a large event that is supposed to be second to WrestleMania. There are talks about eliminating one of the PPVs to create time to promote the other events, and increasing the ticket prices of SummerSlam.

Bobby Lashley Announces He Has Signed With TNA, When He Will Return
By Daniel Pena

Bobby Lashley announced during an interview with ESPN Radio Wednesday that he officially signed with TNA Wrestling this past week and will be on hand for Sunday's Victory Road pay-per-view as well as next week's slate of Impact tapings.

During the interview, Lashley said: "I signed with TNA. It's a big thing because I am fighting and my main focus has been fighting and it still is. I left wrestling so abruptly a few years ago and the fans kind of threw their hands up. I left and they were like, man, what about us? I left at the top of my game. I still wanted to wrestle, but I wanted to fight, so it was like, how do you do both? I spoke with Dixie Carter, the owner of TNA, and she was really, really helpful and she wanted to give me an opportunity to give back to wrestling. With their schedule, they only do four days a month. This week, my schedule is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and I'm done for the month and can concentrate on my fighting. It works out real well."

Who do you guys think Jericho is going to choose as his Tag Team Partner for Night Of Champions(Which is this Sunday).
 
Lolz, what even happened to him. I know Festus went to RAw, what about Jesse....no offense, but he's nothing without Festus. Lolz
 
Jesse, or J-easy, is still with his gangster act. It's quite sad really.

I hope Jericho's partner isn't Ziggler. He isn't good enough.
