I think the most important news here is that Dalip Singh is going to feud with the Undetaker. Dalip is a badass. He's killed a man in training.
Yeah I saw that around a week ago, coinsidently I was browsing IGN when the news broke about it The graphics look god damn amazing but they'll probably be toned down a bit on the PS2 which is probably the system I'll get it on if I don't have a PS3 by then.
I read at rajah.com (don't know how many of you know of the site) that Randy Orton was suspended after results came in on his drug test. Interesting.
That's just one of the rumors going on. I think the rumor that is most likely to be true was Orton has been having issues since January, when Kurt Angle was brought to Smackdown. Since then, Orton has had a few problems that have been kept inside the company, and everything came to a breaking point on WrestleMania weekend. One could surmise that Orton was unhappy about not getting a chance to be the World Champion, which was originally planned for him at WrestleMania, or even earlier than that. Angle being brought over to be champ because WWE had no confidence in anybody on SD to be champ probably got to him a little bit, and Rey Mysterio getting the title because of Eddie Guerrero probably would piss most people off who thought they were more deserving. I'm certainly not saying Orton is more deserving than Mysterio or anybody else to be World Champ, but I wouldn't blame him for thinking that he is. Plus it has been said that he is a prick backstage and that he did harass two former WWE Divas. (this was back when he won the WHT)
He was basically miffed that he didn't win the World Title at Wrestlemania 22. Randy Orton responds to being suspended Prior to SmackDown this past Tuesday, Randy Orton was told that he was being suspended for 60 days due to unprofessional conduct. WWE.com recently caught up with Orton to get his reaction to his suspension. Here is what he had to say: Orton: “WWE has certain standards of conduct they expect out of all the Superstars on both RAW and SmackDown. Unfortunately, I violated those standards and was not representing WWE the way I should have been. Basically, my conduct was unbecoming of a champion, which is what I will be again when I return.” It's stupid, really.
No it isn't. The dude's a prick The PWTorch Newsletter is reporting that Randy Orton’s suspension is due to his behavior backstage at WrestleMania 22. The issue with Orton seems to be mostly due to his attitude about how he is a main eventer and feeling that he does not have to follow the same rules as everyone else, as opposed to doing something to someone else or his health. The word going around right now is that Orton feels he is above the rules, and has had several issues in the past backstage, mainly with female co-workers and the way he talks to them. Randy Orton is one of the least liked people backstage, and has the most heat of anyone right now. The Undertaker is said to despise Randy Orton, and it’s not just an issue with “serious people” not liking his attitude, as people who love to party like Ric Flair and Kurt Angle do not like him either. This suspension is likely to be very good for locker room morale, and it doesn’t look like anyone will be missing him backstage.
And now these stories: I don't think they'll fire Orton. I think Randy knows he's untouchable. He may get suspended, but they'll keep him around.
some news from all around.. mostly what i thought was new and/or interesting. Partial Source: Pro Wrestling Torch -On Monday, a fan went to a Chili's restaurant prior to RAW. He saw Ashley, Matt Hardy and Mr. Ken Kennedy at the restaurant. The fan talked to them and he managed to get Ashley's autograph. He asked her about when she was coming back to WWE. Ashley said that she will be back in about a month, however, fans shouldn't look for her to appear on RAW. And she left it at that. -With that being said, it looks like Ashley will transfer to the SmackDown brand upon her return. Ashley has been out of action since February when she fractured her left fibula after she was eliminated from a women's battle royal on an episode of RAW. Due to the spiral crack in her left fibula, Ashley had to undergo surgery. Thanks to Don for the fan report. -Mr. Ken Kennedy is set to return to SmackDown later this month. He should be ready to return to the ring in May. Kennedy has been out of action with an injury since December. *^HELL YEAH!^* -The Undertaker and Kurt Angle enjoy wrestling with each other. They have great chemistry off-camera, which might explain as to why their matches earlier in the year were particularly good from a workrate standpoint. Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter -Former TNA female Trinity (Stephanie Finochio) recently started appearing on Ohio Valley Wrestling shows. She signed a WWE contract back in Mid-January after making a cameo appearance at the January 02, 2006 Heat tapings with fellow indy female wrestler Talia. Also, she recently went under the knife as she got breast implants. According to one source, the proposed three-way love triangle angle involving Orlando Jordan playing a bisexual, Orlando's Jordan's personal real-life friend, and Trinity, was put on hold a few weeks ago. According to another source, the angle has been dropped all together. Orlando Jordan is currently languishing on Smackdown as he's often not booked to even appear on Velocity. *^Trinity wasn't bad looking, right ? it's a good thing.. right ?^* -He is no longer under WWE contract, however, Chad Dick (Chad Wicks) wrestled on an OVW house show two weeks ago. James Dick (Tank Toland) has also appeared on a few Ohio Valley Wrestling shows lately. In an angle that recently aired on OVW TV, James implied that Chad was a homosexual when he said that he looked for him at Wicks' boyfriend's house, but he couldn't find him. Wicks' sexuality is the main reason as to why he was ribbed and bullied so much while he was in WWE. *^had no clue the dude was gay, weird.^* finally... some dirt on Cena being an ass!!! -Incident Involving John Cena At A Chicago Airport By Andy Steven, WrestlingInc.com Staff Thanks to "Spiral" for the following information. An incident involving John Cena took place at the O'Hare Airport in Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday morning. The following information came from two sources from the O'Hare Airport. One source is a person's eye witness account of the incident. The other source is from written documentation of the incident. Here is an eyewitness report in regards to situation at hand... "John Cena was at O'Hare Airport in Chicago on Tuesday morning to get a flight to Tampa. He arrived too late to check in his bag for the flight and was informed by the ticket agents that his bag wouldn't be able to make it. Cena started swearing at the agents and gave them the finger before leaving his bag and departing for the gate, despite knowing his bag wouldn't make the flight. The gate was called and told to not let him to board. Cena returned to the ticket desk and saying "f*** you" repeatedly to the agents present, and he was told to stop using profanity. A manager came to the desk and again told him to stop using profanity. He was rebooked on a later flight. Apparently, this incident caused a big scene at the airport, and it could have much worse than it actually was. In situations such as this one, the customer is not allowed to the fly on his or her original flight. Customers that are abusive to airline staff usually have the police stationed at the airport, called in. A WWE representative personally called the O'Hare airline to apologize for Cena's disruptive behavior. Also, the source was told that if Cena ever misbehaves at the O'Hare airline ever again, he will be denied boarding on the flight and he will have to find another airline in which to fly on.
Rumors suggest that Mick Foley will be Wrestling Terry Funk at this years ECW: One Night Stand PPV. That should be interesting.
There are rumours flying around that Randy Orton's suspension could be indefinate and with WWE posting that Randy Orton broke his ankle in Kurt Angles ankle lock at the Tuesday smackdown tapings one might think that there is ground to this story...
Yea, the broken ankle definately suggets something deeper is going on. I think they have either increased the suspension, or they are assessing his position in the company. I hope he gets fired, it would be a classic time to be a poster. On ProWrestling.com anyway.
Everyone needs to go and check out the new Tim White suicide thing on wwe.com because it's the weirdest fucking thing ever...
That series was actually quite interesting and I never missed an episode. I thought it was stupid when they introduced it at Armageddon and I never thought it'd turn into what it did, but it turned out to be and awsome thing none-the-less. Heh, R.I.P. Josh Matthews.
Tim White is amazing, lol. I named my beard after him. Okay, the series kind of sucks but he was one of my favorite referees, haha.
Oh I know that dude. I kindof hope they continue this thing and go with a Josh Matthews depression thing and how he can't kill himself eaither, or something. Hell, bring it on T.V.!
