    It's reporting that TNA are splitting from the NWA name this coming Sunday...meaning that there's a PPV this Sunday and we could possibly see Shane Douglas spitting on the NWA belt again, just replace Douglas with Samoa Joe.

    Wow. RIP Bad News Brown.

    On another note:

    Notice how we're losing wrestlers once every month?

    It's a conspiracy damn it! :lol:

    Not so much that as it's usually one of those "set in threes" deal.

    First Bam Bam, then Mike Awesome, now Bad News Brown

    Reports are saying WWE officials are trying to get Chris Jericho back in wrestling. They suggest he could return around september.

    I think he was better off in Wrestling. Fozzy never really became hugely popular and Jericho can't sing for his life. I'd love to see him back in WWE. There was even talk of Fozzy performing at Mania.

    I'd love for Jericho to come back, better yet go to TNA, but still. Oddly enough, I'd like The Rock to come back, was never much of a fan when he was there but you really start to notice he's missing after a while. He'll do WWE some good if he came back.

    I don't see Jericho going to TNA and The Rock wont be returning to WWE any time soon. Not even an appearance I don't think. I think he's done with Wrestling altogether. His profile was even taken down from the WWE superstars page.

    Not only that, but whenever he shakes the top rope, all I can think of is Warrior. :lol: But that might just be me.

    You probably knew I'd post that, haha. I'm also very glad about the decision on PPV's, now they just need to do the same to Raw, Smackdown & ECW and we'll be set.

    Apparently we shouldn't expect any actual ECW wrestlers apart from Tommy Dreamer to be working in WWE by summer.

    Eleven professional wrestlers, including the WWE's Randy Orton, have joined the list of athletes linked to a nationwide steroids investigation.

    Notable names linked to scandal
    MLB
    • Gary Matthews Jr.
    • Jose Canseco
    • John Rocker
    • Jerry Hairston Jr.
    • David Bell

    Boxing
    • Evander Holyfield

    NFL
    • Richard Rydze (Steelers doctor)

    Bodybuilding
    • Victor Martinez

    Pro wrestling
    • Kurt Angle
    • Randy Orton
    • Adam Copeland (Edge)
    • Shane Helms (The Hurricane)
    • Oscar Gutierrez (Rey Mysterio)
    • Eddie Guerrero*

    *Died in 2005

    SI.com reported Monday that Orton allegedly received eight prescriptions for six different drugs -- including stanozolol, nandrolone and testosterone -- between March 2004 and August 2004. According to the documents SI.com reviewed, two doctors whose names also appear in Gary Matthews Jr.'s file wrote prescriptions for Orton.

    Orton, through the WWE, declined comment, SI.com said.

    In its review of documents, SI.com reported it found Adam Copeland, a.k.a. "Edge," and Shane Helms, a.k.a. "The Hurricane," received HGH from Applied Pharmacy in Mobile, Ala., one of the pharmacies raided in the investigation led by Albany, N.Y., District Attorney David Soares.

    Through the WWE, Copeland and Helms didn't respond to a request for comment, SI.com said.

    WWE spokesman Gary Davis told SI.com that WWE policy prohibits performance-enhancing drugs but would not say whether any wrestlers have tested positive since the policy was enacted.

    Also linked to the scandal, in various reports, are baseball's Jose Canseco, John Rocker, Jerry Hairston Jr. and David Bell, former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, Pittsburgh Steelers doctor Richard Rydze, 1996 Olympic wrestling gold medalist Kurt Angle and bodybuilder Victor Martinez.

    Monday, SI.com also reported Arizona doctor David Wilbirt's name has come up in multiple files, including those of Angle, Oscar Gutierrez (stage name Rey Mysterio) and former WWE star Eddie Guerrero, who died in 2005.

    Through the WWE, Gutierrez declined comment to SI.com about the report that Wilbirt had prescribed him nandrolone and stanozolol.

    Wilbirt told SI.com he's not practicing medicine now.

    "I'll tell you one thing and then this conversation is going to end," Wilbirt told SI.com when asked about the professional wrestlers. "They had done blood work and had laboratory work done and they had come to see me."

    Isn't wrestling not consider as a 'major' sports like basketball, baseball, football, etc... and i thought these wrestlers are allowed to used them since these are for entertainment and not like realistic.(they have scripts)
