Hello Everyone! My last post was a no holds barred slap to TNA, and a few people took it seriously. This post won’t be any different, but I also have a ton of happy notes to get to, so let’s get to it!

Sailormoon: moonsisters.org has been under a huge update spree since moving to a new server from HostMonster.com, with the long anticipated fan art section now fully functional. Sailormoon fans are advised to check out the new goodies.

ROH: Cary Silkin, Ring of Honor staff and wrestlers…. You rock! And that’s no kiss-ass plot, no bull, and to quote Larry Sweeney, “Ain’t no doubt about it baby.”

Saturday, November 22, 2008 saw one of the most amazing nights imaginable. Debuting at the PPV taping were brand new lights, a new dolly for a camera that spins 360 degrees, new lights, new music and a whole pile of action emanating from the Frontier Field house in Chicago Ridge, which saw a crowd of over 1500 fans!

In the pre-show event, The Phoenix Twins defeated Grizzly Redwood and Aaron Scott. Despite the loss, Grizzly received a huge pop from the Chi-town crowd, an instant hit with newcomers to the promotion. Grizzly is a charismatic lumberjack around Mitch Franklin’s size, who has recently starred in a few skits filmed for the ROH video wires. Aaron Scott is also spirited, and gave the match his all. The Phoenix Twins teeter from faces to heels, but are well liked by the
Chicago crowd.

An impromptu tag title match started the main show, as Kevin Steen and El Genericho scored a surprise win over the Briscoe Brothers. However, thru sound of the bell would not end the dual team squabble, as security and wrestlers alike piled in to separate the teams after the brawl.

In a hard hitting, agile and eye opening match, MisChif retained the SHIMMER championship against Sara Del Ray. Sara shocked the crowd by coming to the ring wearing a silver and white wig. Manager Larry Sweeney screamed and raved throughout the contest, as MisChif unleashed a bevy of brand new twists and moves, reminiscent of the Lucha style meets The Matrix. After the match though, Larry reverted to that of a newborn kitten, and quietly escorted Sara out.

Delirious decimated Rhett Titus in a short match, which saw the victorious Delirious assault Rhett’s manhood, almost pulling it off. After the match, Delirious continued to assault Rhett by beating him with the Top of the Class trophy. Delirious was so angry, the trophy began breaking in his hands before he beat Rhett with the prize. After the bout, the formerly shy Allison Wonderland swayed to ringside, and caressed the victor, leading the members of the audience to gasp and chatter about what might be going on between the AOTF followers.

In a four corner survival match, the devious Claudio Castagnoli defeated Sugarfoot Alex Payne, Silas Young and newcomer Sami Callahan. However the win would not satiate Claudio, as after the fight, he began assaulting Sugarfoot, and would have laid him out with a chair, if not for a surprise save made by none other than Bryan Danielson.
Bryan, sporting a new light blue shirt with a pink heart on it, threatened to knock Claudio silly, noting that Claudio is forgetting how to fight with honor.

Go Shiozaki, Chris Hero and Davey Richards scored an upset win over Brent Albright, Roderick Strong and the returning Ace Steel. Ace, who practically stole the show, was eager to aid Roderick and Brent, after spending over a year away. Ace received a deafening “WELCOME BACK” chant from his hometown audience, as fans begged Ace to never leave again.

Austin Aries won a grueling and gruesome I QUIT match against Jimmy Jacobs, in a bout that was a constant high spot. The confident Jacobs blew kisses at the crowd prior to the match, and had Tyler Black, armed with a white towel, as his second.
Austin was offered the chance to choose a second for himself, but ultimately declined, wanting to beat Jacobs unassisted. The two former friends duked it out, with Jacobs seemingly gaining an early upper hand. Each time referee Todd Sinclair (who’s lost about 10 pounds since his last Chi-town event) placed the microphone to
Austin’s lips to ask him “DO YOU QUIT?”
Austin’s weary replies were “Dada? Nana. Uh-uh. Nawww. Nu-uh” and “Naw I’m good thanks.” Sparking sympathetic laughter from the crowd. The sadistic Jimmy Jacobs then chained
Austin to a chair, and was about to hit him, when an unexpected twist occurred.

Lacey came back!

Dressed in a red and black stripped shirt, ala Nightmare on

’s Freddy Kruger, Lacey held a white towel in her hand. Jacobs momentarily froze, unsure of whether he should smile or scream. He eventually chose to scream, as he began yelling at her for dumping him in front of a live
Chicago crowd back in April. Upon seeing Lacey, the skittish crowd group inhaled all of the air out of the building, and then gave an ear piercing “HOLY S#IT” chant, pointing at Lacey. Lacey then offered to toss in the towel for
Austin, which promptly woke him up.
Austin screamed at her NOT to throw in the towel, or face his wrath. Lacey-for once-complied, and eventually left the ring after stealing
Tyler’s towel too. The distraction was just what
Austin needed, as he soon took advantage of Jimmy’s weak point, and made the Emo Pimp submit. After the match, an upset Tyler came rushing back out, only to be smacked and screamed at by the Emo Pimp, who was irate enough to blame the loss on Tyler. Tyler, whom has been on the outs with Jimmy, just took a breather, and stormed to the back to calm down.

Credit for the term Emo Pimp goes to the younger brother of Codename Sailor Earth. The duo was seen at the show, as Codename Sailor Earth greeted Cary Silkin with a homemade Xmas card prior to the show’s start.

In a dominating performance, Nigel McGuiness once again retained the ROH belt against the persistent Bryan Danielson.
Bryan had trained non-stop for this match, forgoing the one thing he needed most… sleep. Still, the weary and injured
Bryan made an amazing effort, refusing to back down. Not to be outdone however, Nigel retaliated against
Bryan’s motives by dishing out each and every one of
Bryan’s signature moves. It was at this point that
Bryan was now facing himself in a heavier form. Adding to
Bryan’s frustration, when the match went to the floor, Claudio came back out to attack
Bryan. Sugarfoot however fought back, making sure that Claudio would take a powder. However it was Nigel’s lariat that ended the fight in a flash.

After the match, the crowd instantly began cheering and chanting, because the best was saved for last.

Just for the home crowd, Samoa Joe came to ringside amidst cheers of “WELCOME BACK” to square off against Tyler Black. As soon as
Tyler got in the ring, the crowd erupted in a cheer of “JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU!!” And true to the fans’ warning, Joe annihilated
Tyler.
Tyler tried every trick in the book, but Joe only rolled with the punches, and doubled his attack. After a muscle buster, Joe wrapped up the fight with the Kokina Clutch, making
Tyler tap like Shirley Temple.

After the match, Joe gave a heartfelt speech, reminding fans that even though he wanted to stay, as a TNA contracted wrestler, his place for now is in TNA. However he also said that deep down, his blood is the black and red of the ROH logo. With that, Joe showed the utmost respect for ROH and its fans by kissing the logo on the mat, as the crowd thanked Joe, and begged him to return.

Just days after the taping (which airs in January), Codename Sailor Earth put up a video, showing how far ROH has come: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xghqI-AbmJY

TNA: Well, it seems that Rhyno and Team 3D pay attention to this blog and the TNA fan base as a whole, as the three men have really shaped up since my last post! Rhyno has taken the TNA Originals, now TNA Frontline under his wing like a concerned family member, and Team 3D pulled a shocking face turn last night bu joining the Frontline against the Main Event Mafia, supplying A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe and the other young ones with beating sticks after the ECW alumni pulled a fake out on the MEM. So here’s an update and I hope you people at TNA are taking notes:

Rhyno, Ray and
Devon: Excellent job, gentlemen. Not only did you pick the right team, you put an awful lot of thought into your choice and knew when to pull it together. This is why I favored ECW over WCW back in the day, and I’m damn proud of it.

Sting and Kevin Nash: Wow. You guys actually sunk to a new low. Let me ask you, what business is it of yours how A.J. Styles’s childhood went? More importantly, how does his past with his father affect your match? Correct answer: it doesn’t. By airing A.J.’s past, and then accusing him of lying about his dad beating his mom, shows all the viewers at home that you pigs truly do not care what becomes of your image or this business. How dare you boys, especially YOU Decan Sting, ridicule a man who came up from nothing, and fought his was here, just because he wasn’t as privileged as you. While you two were being handed title shots by promoters to chicken to say anything to your faces, this 31 year old “kid” was fighting for his life, and the lives of his family. Back in WCW, when Vince decided not to carry you over to WWF, you guys were alright with that, since you had enough money to retire off of. Meanwhile, A.J. who was a WCW newcomer at the time was put out on the streets by the very company you had the choice to turn down. A.J. didn’t have that choice. For him, it was either have a tryout with WWF, and see if he could earn a $35.00 weekly paycheck, OR try and find a company that would pay him a living wage for less exposure. A.J. had a wife to feed, and bills to pay. You and your squirts were squared off. While you’re only here for pocket money, A.J.’s here to support his kids. Your kids are big enough to accept the word “no” and you’re well off enough to pay for all of their needs in advance. A.J. has two toddlers, who need food, medical care and diapers. Do you really think this “punk kid” likes having to make a choice between his son’s food and his son’s clothes? Do you honestly believe this “arrogant snot” likes having to bargain shop and haggle at the dollar store for toilet paper while you guys screw around at the golf club? Tell me now who’s disrespectful.

Jim Cornette: Lemme get this right, Eric Young fights his butt of, obtaining that X Division Championship, and you revoke it because the ref caught Sheik cheating? Retire.

Kurt Angle: A true American Hero learns to take his wins and losses QUIETLY and with grace. You are flat out stalking Jeff Jarrett. GET A GRIP. You lost. And even if Mick wasn’t there, you still would have lost. Grow up and deal with it.

Dixie Carter and Vince Russo: Retire. A turkey costume? Really now.

Alex Shelley: Seriously. You couldn’t have forgotten what you learned about honor. I know you hate picking sides, but for once, just listen to Mick and Joe and the others. They’re trying to keep you alert, so the MEM doesn’t sabotage your career.

WWE: I’m not going to go through the whole shebang, just some highlights.

John Cena is the new WWE Raw champ.

Edge is the new SmackDown champ.

While Cena’s win makes sense, Edge’s comes across as a screw job victory. Here’s the rundown:

Saturday, WWE reports that Jeff Hardy was hospitalized, his condition still unknown as of this post.

Jeff was released, but WWE pulled him out of the PPV, initializing a one on one match between HHH and Vladimir Koslov.

But in the middle of the match, Edge was sent in as a last minute replacement, with little fanfare.

Jeff Hardy came to the ring gimping, and thwapped HHH with a chair, then screamed, wanting to know why NOBODY called him to tell him he was off the card, and why would they replace him with the man who dicked over his big brother.

Edge speared Jeff, attacked HHH, got the 3 count and the belt.

What the F*ck???

Well that’s it for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

The Rasslinkitty

Hello Everyone! Again I apologize for lack of updates, there’s been a whirlwind of news just piling up faster than I can type. But let’s get to it!

Sailormoon: There’s an article about the lead singer of Birthday Massacre. The significance? Her stage name is CHIBI! She admits to taking the name from Sailormoon. You can read the article here: http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,24641309-5003421,00.html

In other news, Moon Sisters has gotten under full swing, as owner Codename Sailor Earth has added new platform-style games, starring the Sailormoon cast, and has even begun adding scans of various Sailormoon books. For this and more, head on over to moonsisters.org!

Firing Squad: As I type this, WWE is currently under a massive firing spree. Here’s the current list thus far, keep in mind, more may be to come by week’s end:

Paul London (Cut due to lack of a roster spot and injury)

Chuck Palumbo (Cut due to lack of a roster spot)

Kenny Dykstra (Cut due to overcrowding on SmackDown. I know.)

Elijah Burke (Dropped from tv, then cut due to lack of roster spot.)

Lena Yada (No roster spot and was not fully trained.)

Mike Adamle (Resigned on a live telecast of RAW, November 3rd, 2008!)

Armando Alejandro Estrada (Cut due to lack of roster spot)

Super Crazy (Quit over carrer direction dispute, may return to Mexico.)

WWE talent fear that the current firing spree will NOT spare anyone, reguardless of character, fan support or even roster. WWE is blaming the spree on the poor economy, but others view the poor economical state as a poor excuse.

ROH: In my last post, I brought up the fact that Gabe Saplosky was let go as ROH booker. In a recent interview, Gabe squelched all of the rumors that came about that week over his release, informing fans that he’s still friends with EVERYONE on the ROH roster, and that he’s taking a break from booking for a while.

In his place, Adam Pearce was announced as the new head booker! Some people were concerned, considering the fact that Adam was not a proven booker, and was mostly a wrestler at heart, but three weeks into his new job, alot of those fears have ceased. Adam is doing his best, and the nay-sayers who doubted him are now praising his ability on such short notice. The most prevelant fear, was that Adam would book himself all over the card, but all decisions must be OK-ed by Cary Silkin before showtime, so again consider this fear squelched.

In other news, FIP star Sal Rinauro lost an ECW match to newcomer DJ Gabriel. No word yet on whether or not this appearance on WWE television will affect Sal’s FIP status.

PWO: The small Ohio company is getting stronger, now airing new weekly tapings, with another one set to air Sunday after Survivor Series on Sportstime Ohio.

Aaron McGuire recently moved in as Hobo Joe’s new neighbor, after losing all of his wealth, by foolishly betting on the August Wrestleution match of Jason Bane vs. Cronus. After the bout, Cronus moved away to California, leaving Aaron, who fed, cleaned, trained and fought for Cronus, high and dry. Aaron and Hobo Joe now live in a dumpster behind the PWO office, and were seen shairing a “joint” during an interview.

SAY NO TO DRUGS.

In other news, after an extensive medical exam, Johnny Gargano has been diagnosed with a herinated fracture in his neck. Gargano has been advised to saty out of the ring for the next several months, up to a year if the injury gets worse. PWO claims he suffered the injury in his August match against Gregory Iron, but Gargano claims he suffered the injury after he tripped and fell signing an autograph. Either way, Kharma has gotten to the brash Gargano, whom has made a game out of abusing handicapped and downtrodden wrestlers.

TNA: *Sigh* I HOPE someone from TNA is reading this, as unlikely a chance as that sounds. Today I’m not going to go down the laundry list of events since my last post, I’m just going to send out a message to the TNA staff:

Mick Foley: Keep doing what you’re doing. As long as SOMEONE with a brain is listening to AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and the other TNA Originals, there’s hope. Keep at it Mick!

Jeff Jarrett: Don’t… ever… leave… again.

Kevin Nash: SHUT UP! You have spent the last 26 years glomming onto the brighter stars, so you can have a chunk of their wealth. It is 2008. Grow up, and stop whining like a nine year old little girl!

Sting: SHUT UP! Samoa Joe and A.J. Styles would NOT be trying to wring your neck each week, if you hadn’t have botched their matches over the summer, and then go AWOL the week after! Quit messing in other people’s affairs. Christopher Daniels used to be okay in the head. Then YOU came along, spewing your right wing nonsense. Where is he now? Hmm? Abyss used to enjoy being where he was, and he had a decent team with James Mitchell. Then came YOU, now look at the poor boy. He’s under how much counseling? Your advice is only good IF people ask for it. But if nobody’s asking you for your two cents then please SHUT UP. Do NOT run this company into the dirt like you did WCW. And STOP messing around in the rafters. The wrestling world has lost too many guys to accidents, let’s not add to it. Get your arthritic butt down from there before you get yourself hurt.

Kurt Angle: You need two things. A psychiatrist and a sista. Kurt, you’re a free man, and there are 100,220 black women who will feed you, care about you, and listen to your story about the 1996 Olympics 100 times and not get boared. Now that you’ve dumped Karen, go get a honey. P.S. Jacqueline likes your booty.

James Storm: QUIT DRINKING. It’s one thing to be a drunk cowboy, it’s another thing when you can’t even tell the differance between the turnbuckle and the ring post. Ife u dink wat dis ib ritten rite, puddown ta bottl.

Dixie Carter: STEP DOWN. It’s obvious you don’t care about the wrestlers OR the fans, otherwise you would quit tossing aside good wrestlers in favor of paying through the nose for classic no-shows like Sting. Just because a guy has tenure does NOT mean he’s any good at what he does.

Vince Russo: RETIRE and this time, stay that way.

Samoa Joe: Come on home to ROH, where people love you no matter what. We all miss you like crazy. I’ll be in the crowd, Saturday.

A.J. Styles: See Joe.

Eric Young: Congratulations! You won the X Division title AND you’ve been showing fearless backbone. That’s excellent, keep it up!

Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin: Dear God men, what have you been on? Lemme clue you in on something. The Main Event Mafia are jealous and want you dead, literally. Samoa Joe’s team love you like brothers and want you alive. 2+2=4 figure it out. Do you WANT to end up like Petey Williams? Get your act together and show these old timers what the MCMG are all about! WAKE UP BOYS!!

Kip James: Get pants that fit you. Angelina and Velvet could be your daughters. They even look like you. Dude, seriously. Also, I’m not saying anything in particular, but if you were to come out of the closet, you WON’T lose any fans. I’m just sayin’…

Shawn Davairi: YES I AM using your old name. Shawn get a grip. You’re American. I’m American. The End. Quit ragging on everyone with your racist garbage. In calling Americans every name in the book, you are becoming what you hate. Knock it off. Can’t you come up with a better gimmick?

Rhyno: See Shawn Davari. Look dude, he’s American, like you. And by ragging on immigrants, you’re coming off as a racist heel. Cut it out! Of all people, YOU know what it’s like to be different. Remember ECW?

Scott Stiener: RETIRE you racist prick. There, I said it. What kind of moron are you that you don’t belive in Samoans? HELLO! You’ve been working with Samoans your whole damn carrer! And why are you hating on mulattos? Until last week, you still had supporters who were mixed race. In the end, all wrestlers are black anyway, so why does it matter?

Jim Cornette: RETIRE. Your promo skills make no sense, your biased towards “select” people, and it’s clear your mental health is in jeopardy. Go home.

Earl Hebner: RETIRE. You suck as a ref, and NO I’m NOT bringing up a certain night in 1997, I’m talking about the rest of your carrer. What do you have against Canadian wrestlers? Seriously, go home.

Dudley Boyz: Yeah, I’m using THAT name. Two words: Face turn. Make it official, it’s time.

Bobby Roode: SHUT UP. It’s time you re-organize your goals, because clearly you’re act is sending fans to the bathroom.  A good heel cuts villain like promos to make people pay to see faces beat you. What you do is just send them away.

Blondie commentary girl: Lauren? Go home. If the faces, tweeners and heels all agree you should shut it, then it’s time for you to persue other carrer options. And don’t worry about TNA, we still have Jeremy Borash.

Awesome Kong: PLEASE beat on Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. You’ve taken out the faces, now go take out the heels. I’m begging you!

Raisha Saeed: Mellissa I can see you under there. Give it up.

Roxi: Keep doin’ what you been doin’ girl!

Booker T: Dude, you’re from Texas, NOT Africa. PLEASE stop embarrassing me. Don’t tempt your current employer into calling Stevie Ray.

Sonjay Dutt: SOBER UP! Whatever you’re on, get off it before it kills you.

So Cal Val: Honestly, you dumped Black Machismo for Sonjay? Are you on crack? Sober up.

Homicide: See Samoa Joe.

Hernandez: See Samoa Joe.

Curry Man: See Samoa Joe.

Shark Boy: Good lord man. Where do I start?

Abyss: See Samoa Joe. P.S. there are some sistas in the midsection of the crowd each week, discussing all the pretty babies you could make with them. Bottom line, get with a sista.

Christian Cage: Well I’m not sure IF I have you on the right roster, but what the hell. If you stay in TNA, start a rebellion. If you leave TNA a word for the wise: SAY NO TO WWE!! Remember the last time you were there? How they kept demoting your status for the fun of it? How every spot offered got handed to Edge? Do you want that again? Indies dude. ROH, think about it.

Well that’s all for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

The Rasslinkitty

Hello everyone! I apologize for taking a whole month off, I live in an area that has experianced high volumes of BAD weather over the last six weeks, so for today I’ll only focus on the important notes, rather than the weekly play by play, at least to get you caught up until my next post. Let’s get to it!

In Memoriam: Over the past week, Leah Maivia, the wife of the late Peter Maivia and grandmother of The Rock, passed away at the age of 81. Prayers go out to the family.

ROH: Due to financial setbacks, star booker Gabe Saplosky had to be let go yesterday. This comes as a devastating loss, as Gabe was well loved in Ring of Honor. Gabe also worked as Paul Heyman’s right hand man during the days of the original ECW, years before WWE’s buyout. Gabe worked in ROH as a booker, announcer, website manager and various other positions, and certainly this was a VERY difficult choice for Cary Silkin to make. No further comments at this time are available.

Cary, if it helps, my mom just put in her order. Hope to see you in Chicago!

Gabe, thank you so much for all your hard work. As a lifelong wrestling fan, I can tell you honestly you are the best booker the industry ever saw.

Prince Nana made a shocking appearance at ROH two nights ago, pleading for his job back. Nana was escorted out by security, and an announcement was made that Nana’s entrance was NOT part of the show, NOT part of the storyline, and NOT planned. No word yet on where ROH will go next with Nana.

After a whirlwind summer of Delirious having his heart broken by Daize Haze, which ended with Delirious joining Age of the Fall and poking Daizee in the head with a spike a few weeks back, the tensions have caused Daizee to snap.

This past weekend saw Daizee jump Rhett Titus and beat him silly, even when the cameras were off! Daizee is blaming Rhett for everything that went wrong with she and Delirious, EVEN THOUGH DAIZEE’S THE ONE WHO TOLD DELIRIOUS SHE DIDN’T WANT TO BE WITH HIM! Rhett’s reaction thus far is understandably confused…

Sailormoon: My good friend Codename Sailor Earth informs me that her site Moon Sisters has moved to http://www.moonsisters.org. The website, which is three and a half years old, was moved to HostMonster, due to Time Warner shutting down AOL Hometown, where the site sat since it’s opening. To celebrate the move, Moon Sisters has new wallpapers, and other new content.

TNA: Jeff Jarrett… don’t you ever leave us again!!!

Jeff Jarrett’s return to television has spawned a stellar fight with Kurt Angle, and a new voice on the side of the younger talent, a voice very much needed, as elder wrestlers Sting and Kevin Nash have tried their level best to muscle out true stars like Samoa Joe and A.J. Styles. Adding to Joe’s cause however is none other than Mick Foley, who recently bought a share in TNA, officially making him a new boss alongside Jeff Jarrett! The news was a welcome surprise, which should soon bear fruit.

WWE: Cyber Sunday saw it’s fair share of ups and downs. Here’s the post PPV rundown of events:

Shelton Benjamin retained the US Championship against R-Truth, formerly Ron Killings.

As of three weeks ago, WWE has changed the name of Sho Funaki to the horridly stereotypical “Kung Fu Naki”, ironic since Funaki doesn’t do Kung Fu. No word yet on how Funaki can put up with this abuse.

Rey Mysterio Jr beat Kane in a shocking No Holds Barred match!

Matt Hardy and Evan “Matt Sydal” Bourne put on a stellar performance, which saw Matt Hardy retain the ECW championship.

Miz and Morrison somehow beat Cryme Tyme. No doubt this will only fuel the rivalry these two teams have shared.

Honky Tonk Man had his first match in a WWE ring in several years by beating Santino Marella. However, due to an incompetant ref, the win was via DQ since Beth Phoenix tripped the beloved I.C. legend. This prompted ZSantino to scream at her, which annoyed Honk Tonk Man further, which caused Golddust and Rowdy Roddy Piper to come out, which resulted in a very LONG OVERDUE beat down, as the three legend beat the daylights out of Santino. THANK YOU!

Undertaker beat Big Show in a Last Man Standing match. Though the two obviously would have wanted something more exciting, the two put on a hardcore performance, taking each other to the limit.

Mickie James won a diva contest, and then was beaten down. NEXT!!

HHH was jobbed again, retaining the title against Jeff Hardy. NEXT!!

Batista beat Y2J Chris Jericho to win the WWE title.

AAA: X-pac Sean Waltman is set to return to Galavision airwaves soon as part of the new stable “De-Generation Mex”. X-pac still comes out to the DX theme.

Well that does it for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

The Rasslinkitty

Hello everyone! Due to the amount of news, I will be condensing the WWE and TNA sections again. Also, I am spreading out all of the news into new sections, to speed up your reading time. Rest assured there’s a ton of news so let’s get to it!

Sailormoon: Wikipedia, IMDB and several other news sources are currently dealing with an unusual error. Apparently the Sailormoon S voice actress for Sailor Venus is gaining credit for another Senshi voice she did NOT do. Emilie-Claire Barlow, who also did voice work for the hit show

Total
Drama
Island, is being touted as the voice of Sailor Mars in the Sailormoon R movie, and again in the first and second seasons. Katie Griffin was actually Sailor Mars in the R movie, and in much of the English version of the series. It is unknown how the error occurred. On the upswing, Ms. Barlow is enjoying a successful Jazz career.

I hope you all are taking part in the Sailormoon campaign. If you want Sailormoon back, then pick up your free goodies on the Rasslinkitty how to save Sailormoon link on the blogroll. Just scroll to the right and down.

Legal news: Ashley, daughter of Ric Flair was arrested this week on charges of kicking a police officer. Apparently Ashley and her father Ric were involved in a fight with a young gentleman. Ric walked away with a black eye, and Ashley was carted off after being tasered. No word on how the fight began. In other legal news, Kurt Angle was acquitted of his 2007 DUI charge, due to lack of evidence.

Roster changes: Mick Foley has signed on for a short stint with TNA, Tomko is back part time with TNA, and Eddie “Primo”
Colon and his elder brother Carlito were moved to SmackDown, after gaining NO attention from Mike Adamle.

Debuts: Afa JR debuted at WWE Unforgiven as Manu. He has aligned himself with Ted and Cody, and was an FCW standout. Ron “The Truth” Killings is now R-Truth, and has resumed entertaining crowds as a member of the SmackDown roster. His last SmackDown appearance prior to his current stint was in 2001.

Injury report: C.M. Punk suffered a concussion at last Sunday’s PPV at the hands of Randy Orton. Randy kicked an already down Punk, trying to show up Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase JR. Also at Unforgiven, Chris Jericho suffered numerous welts, caused by an insane Shawn Michaels. Shawn sat on
Jericho in an unsanctioned match, and bloodied
Jericho with a belt.

Corrections: In my last post, I said that Shawn would be out 6 months. As it turns out, his triceps tear is miniscule, as is the injury near his elbow, and Shawn was able to work the Unforgiven PPV. He probably won’t miss too much time after all.

Title changes: CONGRATULATIONS to Matt Hardy on his win of the ECW title, and to Chris Jericho, who won the RAW title due to emergency booking and a quick pin.

Idiocy report: After watching the writing team of both WWE and TNA continually belittle the intelligence of both wrestlers and fans, I now debut this new category. It is my hope that this will shame certain people into shaping up.

Starting off the idiocy report will be WWE. For some strange reason, WWE insists upon keeping Mike Adamle as Raw GM. This past week, Adamle stopped the main event because he was board. The match was supposed to have been Batista vs.
Jericho, who was already injured, but midway through was changed to Batista vs.
Jericho and JBL, making no sense what so ever. But the idiocy didn’t stop there. Last Sunday, they chose to have Big Show re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-RE-start his feud with The Undertaker. Why? Because somebody in the back didn’t want loudmouth Vicky, to take one for the team. This is the umpteenth time Big Show has had a spontaneous feud with Undertaker, simply because they are both large.

Next up is TNA. The fans know Sting is a heel. The wrestlers know Sting is a heel. Management knows Sting is a heel. Sting thinks he’s a face. WHAT? Sting has spent the last three weeks coming out at the last minute to babble incoherently about how he thinks the young wrestlers suck and only the elders should run TNA. He thinks that the young ones owe him something. Everybody else on planet Earth knows that without young guys like A.J. and Joe, there wouldn’t BE a TNA for Sting to go peddling his pension problems to. This storyline involves several people, and yet nobody has been smart enough to book Sting vs. Joe & A.J. If anyone needs to be asking for respect, it should be A.J. Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe. Without these three men, TNA would not exist. Sting and Kevin Nash never truly learned respect when they were young, didn’t pick it up at TNA, but ought to learn it, if either of them wants to stay employed.

Also. May I ask why Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, Maryse and Michelle McCool are employed at all, when none of them are wrestlers?
Bikini contests? Whiney outbursts? Trashy costume displays? Last time I looked, WWE and TNA were PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING companies, not babysitters for the mentally challenged. Boys, get your act together. They’re UGLY, and they’re frontal man grabbers aren’t even that big.

Rounding this off, I’d like to point out PWO. Yes, you guys are broke. That ain’t the problem. What is the problem is the fact that 94% of your roster can’t act. The storylines get dragged out as far as possible, but seldom are the matches booked. For example, Jason Bane and Cronus have been at war with each other for months, yet how many matches have they had together? How many times have I seen Bane vs. Cronus? Oh yeah, I haven’t. And why does Johnny Gargano only want to feud with the handicapped? Of ALL the wrestlers in PWO, you pick Gregory Iron? What’s he ever done to you? Dude seriously. Furthermore, whoever is booking this needs to pay less attention to his mullet, and more attention to his roster. That’s right, I’m looking at YOU.

WWE: Since my last post, Chris Jericho has become the new Raw champion, after Punk was taken out.
Jericho was chosen by Mike Adamle as a last minute replacement, and won via a rollup, bypassing a beating from JBL, Batista, Rey and Kane. However Adamle proved once more to be a moron, as he scheduled the concussion ridden Punk and the welt ridden
Jericho to face off for the belt in a steel cage, THIS Monday. You can watch the match live on
USA.

TNA: WELCOME BACK JEFF JARRETT!!! WE MISSED YOU!! Now go El Ka-bong Sting for me. Jeff returned Thursday, standing over the main entrance ramp, on a NEW ramp that sits on top of the old one. (Nice effects!) Samoa Joe braved the rafters long enough to tell Sting (who was in the ring) that he’d be going to the PPV, just not alone. Jeff appeared, amidst the roar of the crowd, guitar held high above his head.

ROH: The new movie “The Wrestler” which features Ring of Honor roster members swept audiences away at the film festival, and has now been picked up by Fox Searchlight for a national distribution! Read all about it here: http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117938197.html?categoryid=31&cs=1 and here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080909/ap_en_ot/film_the_wrestler

Currently, ROH is touring
Japan, and the roster is totally excited. There’s a daily article up of rohwrestling.com, documenting their progress. It’s a good read, and I highly recommend it.

Mixed Media: Lance Storm has a new commentary up on this past week’s TNA and WWE tapings. If you would like to read an intelligent summary of events, then I must recommend visiting http://www.stormwrestling.com/tvthoughts.html .

Hello everyone! This is going to be a short post, but it’s chocked full of news, so let’s get to it! (Especially for you Sailormoon fans!!)

Injury Report: Due to a personal oath I made with myself, I will not spoil tonight’s Raw taping. Raw was taped last night, because today is Labor Day. However, there is one injury I must report from tonight’s taping, and that is the re-injury of Shawn Michaels. During tonight’s broadcast, Shawn leaps off to attack Lance Cade and Chris Jericho, only to BOTCH the move and land horridly. As a result, Shawn has a torn triceps. Shawn will most likely have to pull out of Sunday’s PPV, and will be out of action for 6 months.

Fans worldwide from America, Great Britain, Nicaragua, Thailand, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Ghana, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, China, Japan, The Philippines, Mexico, Puerto Rico, North and South Korea, and several more countries all pooled together their families and friends, voting on the most popular Sailormoon characters.

Hello Everyone! For those of you who want Sailormoon back in ANY capacity, you only have until 11:59 central U.S. time to e-mail me your votes. The final votes will be counted tonight, so be sure to send in your votes NOW. 11:59 is your deadline, and I will have an update on today’s current standings in a moment, but first, some tragic wrestling news.

In Memoriam: Killer Kowalski passed away August 30^th at the age of 81. Kowalski had suffered a heart attack on August 8^th, and had been battling various health concerns over the course of the last year or so. Born October 13^th, 1926, Kowalski wrestled all over the United States and Canada, and held numerous titles  in the NWA, WWWF (Now WWE), IWA, AAC, MAC as well as the legendary Stampede Wrestling. Kowalski, trained by Lou Thez, was himself a great teacher, having trained such notable stars as HHH, Perry Saturn, Chyna, Frankie “Kaz” Kazarian, Giant Bernard (A-Tran/Prince Albert) and now joins the heavens with two of his other students, Big John Studd and John Kronus. Kowalski is survived by his loving wife and friend Theresa. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations are made in Killer Kowalski’s honor to:

Injury Report: John Cena will be out 2-4 months, as a result of a herniated disc. Cena suffered the injury during his Summer Slam bout against Batista, though Cena did not start to really feel the effects until later the week after the PPV. Last Monday, Cena lost all feeling in his right arm, and was sent to the hospital. Cena had a disc that was bulging, pushing down upon his spine, causing the numb sensation. Cena went in for successful surgery, and will now be replaced at Unforgiven by Rey Mysterio Jr. Cena begins physical therapy this week. 

Also out is Ken Kennedy, who will be gone from television 4-6 months due to torn labrum and damage to his rotator cuff. Kennedy went in for surgery Friday. The injury occurred at a house show several weeks ago. Ken was told to obtain physical therapy, but the therapy only seemed to agitate the injury, which is quite serious.

Legal Report: Kevin Lawler, son of Jerry “The King” Lawler and brother to Brian “Grandmaster Sexay” Christopher, was arrested this week on suspicion of burglary. Kevin Lawler has dabbled as a wrestler and ref, and is involved in the carpet industry.

In other Legal news, Raven, Chris Kanyon and one other individual are suing WWE for shady dealing involving contracts. WWE has long been touted as the main company to contractually screw wrestlers, and this lawsuit is based upon WWE’s no-compete loopholes, which have impeded several wrestlers from obtaining lucrative post-WWE bookings with many notable Indy promotions. If Raven’s Flock succeeds, this will mean that ex-WWE wrestlers will have a quicker time getting into TNA, ROH, or anywhere else they please, meaning wrestlers can be allowed to go anywhere they want to, SANS a no-compete clause.

Sailormoon: Atlanta is reporting on one of the youngest Sailormoon fans visiting an anime convention. If you live in Atlanta, today is the only day you have to visit! Check it out here: http://www.accessatlanta.com/entertainment/content/events/stories/2008/08/30/dragoncon_atlanta_parade.html?imw=Y

WWE: The Undertaker made a stand on SmackDown, reminding General Manager Vicky that he is after her soul. The beloved Deadman set the ring posts on fire, early Friday night, as Vicky watched in horror in her office. Chavo, Bam Neely, Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder then proceeded to lock her in. Vicky stayed sealed within her tiny office, until the end of the episode, as the lights went OUT, and all you could hear was her screaming…..

Did I mention that I love the Undertaker?

In other news, former TNA star and WWF standout Ron “The Truth” K-Kwik Killings debuted on Friday as R-Truth. The smiling sensation came out to his TNA music, and whooped Kenny Dykstra silly, to the delight of a pro-TNA crowd.

Also debuting Friday were the Bella Twins from FCW. One twin (Brie Bella) went in against
Victoria, and was dutifully annihilated, but it was her sneaky sis stealing the victory. Yes, the old’ Basham twin switcheroo.  This comes as interesting, as one twin is darker than the other in skin tone. *Sigh* The Bella twins whom are skinny but pretty, were amongst the first divas to have had extra training by Billy Kidman in FCW.

TNA: Kevin Nash and Sting have few, if any fans left, pending this past Thursday’s debacle. Nash broke storyline, b*tch slapping TNA champ Samoa Joe for no apparent reason. Joe had been on commentary praising Nash during Nash’s match against Kurt Angle, when all of a sudden; Nash leapt out of the ring, smacked Joe, and told Joe

“Pay attention to my match, b*tch! Keep your eyes on ME.” To wit the shocked Joe stood up, and asked “Keep my eyes on YOU motherf***er??” Don West and Mike Tenay tried to verbally retrain an irate Joe, but Joe did what anyone else would have done, and went to ringside, low blowing Nash. After Nash lost, Joe confronted him in the ring, screaming “What happened to what you told me? Watch your temper, Kev!!” Kev walked out in a huffy hissy fit, ignoring the confused Samoa Joe, who was asking Kev to practice what he preaches.

Sting rambled at the end of the taping about how he could never retire, knowing that guys like A.J. Styles and Samoa Joe were the next stars to come up. Sting rambled like an incoherent father, even bringing up the immortal line “When I was YOUR age…” which is hysterical, considering the fact that the “kids” Sting was referencing are either pushing or already over 30, with A.J. being a married father of two. Sting, who turns 50 on March 20^th, is an Aries Pisces mix. Sting swore that he showed respect to Ric Flair, doing “EVERYTHING” Flair told him to, which if you check out youtube.com sometime, you will find out that Sting is a LIAR. Sting dared ANY young wrestler to come out and say he’s wrong.

A.J. Styles came out and said “You’re WRONG.” A.J. echoed what I was thinking, when he asked Sting “WHO do you think made TNA???” to the delight of the crowd. Sting tried to back peddle, by claiming that he thwapped Joe in the head, and dropped A.J. on his, because he wants to save them and see them grow. A.J., who still uses common sense, saw right through Sting’s stupid lie. Sting then gave A.J. his baseball bat, and dared A.J. to take a swing. A.J. swung, only to be hit by Sting, who dropped him on his head again. Jeff Jarrett’s music then played as a warning to Sting.

In other news, So Cal Val is putting her ring on the line at the next PPV, over a ladder. Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal., winner can marry Val. C’MON LETHAL!!! >_O

ROH: OMEDETOU GOZAIMASU GO SHIOZAKI-SAMA! Go won the FIP title from Erik Stevens, thus making his recent tour of
America successful. In other HUGE news, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are returning to Ring of Honor this October. Could this mean a full time return within the next year? This reporter hopes so!

Well that does it for now. As always, stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello everyone! Your wrestling and Sailormoon news is here, but I must start off today’s news on a sad note.

Injury Report: Sadly, 22 year old standout Pelle Primeau has been medically forced to retire, due to the beating Delirious gave him in Chicago Ridge on August 16^th. You may recall that I documented the beating in my last post. Pelle was throttled, and did not land right on several occasions. The result is a serious head injury, along with blunt head trauma.

If I could sum up Pelle Primeau in one word, it would be determination. I was lucky enough in June to get Pelle’s autograph, and I can tell you, Pelle put effort into every single move.

On April 1^st, 2006 in Chicago, I met my friend, who’s also a wrestler, Jason Saint. Jason and I stood by, as Pelle went to go up against Derek Dempsey. (Bobby Dempsey’s brother) Pelle stood in the ring, and the two went toe-to-toe. Derek made a comment to Pelle about Pelle’s size. (Pelle is less than 5’2.) Pelle cocked his head. WALKED up Derek’s chest, kicked Derek, and then landed perfectly on his feet, before Derek even realized Pelle had moved.

Pelle had recently begun dying his hair differently, experimenting with his look to see what the crowd thought. He didn’t need a gimmick, because fans at ringside were generally happy to see him wrestle. Pelle also worked security, and also helped out with setting up and taking down the ring, and also with general repair and maintenance. Even there, Pelle worked hard, trying to make the show that much better.Pelle, a graduate of the Ring of Honor School, had won the 2007 Top of the Class trophy, and endured a long feud with Shane Hagadorn. He then feuded with Chris Hero, and subsequently the entire group of Sweet n’ Sour Inc.

On August 16^th, I stood across from the ring, and could loudly hear each “thump” whenever Pelle landed, during Delirious’s assault. I had seen Pelle hurt before, but this time, he just didn’t move. This is the first time in my life; I’ve ever seen the end of a career up close. And certainly I’d never think that end would involve someone as young as Pelle Primeau. 

Before his retirement, Pelle had made 2^nd runner up in the PWI Rookie of the Year award, and made #307 in the PWI 500. Below is an excerpt from his 307 ranking:

307 Pelle Primeau (5’5, 140, 4, 354) Was a second runner-up in the Rookie of the year voting in the 2007 PWI Achievement Awards… Participated in the ROH “Race to the top” tournament, defeating B.J. Whitmer in the first round before falling to Davey Richards… Teamed with Antonio Blanca to defeat The American Nightmare, only to have Blanca turn against him… Got revenge by beating Blanca in December… Recently teamed with Delirious to win a tag team scramble match against Brent Albright and Chris Hero and The Vulture Squad.

And below is an excerpt from the PWI 2007 Achievement article with Pelle:

Pelle Primeau [12 percent] Second runner-up: Primeau excelled at Ring of Honor’s training school and regularly competes on ROH cards, graduating from special “student matches” to becoming a solid mid-card competitor, even winning 2007’s Top of the Class trophy. Primeau has suffered his share of one-sided losses against some big names in ROH, but he has also shown remarkable resilience and a determination to improve at his craft.For as short as his career was, Pelle still has legions of fans, and I for one wish him well, and hope he can recover fully. WE MISS YOU PELLE!

Firing Squad: TNA and Gail Kim have come to the agreement of her release. Gail had her last TNA match Thursday night, losing to Awesome Kong. How the sudden split came about is unknown, but it is said to have been an amicable split. The release comes as a huge shock to the Knockout division, as Gail was in the middle of a new storyline, involving her “sister”. What exactly will become of Gail’s “sister” is unknown.

Sailormoon:  There’s only 6 days left to vote. The final votes will be tallied at 11:59 pm on August 31^st. Winning Sailormoon characters will be featured in the new Sailormoon campaign, which begins September 1^st! If you really want Sailormoon back, then please VOTE!!

WWE: Both Raw and SmackDown are gearing up for the dumbest title match they’ve had this year. General managers Vickie Guerrero and Mike Adamle introduced a concept sure to bring about chaos at this year’s Unforgiven. The match will go as follows:

5 wrestlers will be selected, including the champion. 2 men will enter the ring, with another to go in randomly during the first few minutes. There will be a 20 minute time limit. The title can change hands any number of times during that time limit. The man to get the final pin gets the belt and will be the ONLY man acknowledged as champion during that night. Even if someone else had the belt 2 seconds before him, WWE will NOT acknowledge him. That sucks.

Speaking of Vickie, The Undertaker returned to a standing ovation Friday night. Vickie brought out all of her boys to the ring, giving a half-hearted apology. ‘Taker did not accept, telling her that he came NOT for an apology… but for Vickie’s soul. ‘Taker then proceeded to beat the daylights out of her entire squad.

Much of SmackDown was marred by hasty re-hashed matches, but had one single highlight. That was The Undertaker. Aside from his long awaited return, SmackDown had a rumble style match, which Brian Kendrick inadvertently won, via Big Show’s help. Big Show had torn into the ring during a battle royal to determine who would qualify for the championship scramble. Big Show had been excluded by Vickie, for unknown reasons, which she tried to cover up by saying “oversight”. Big Show blew through 10 wrestlers, and accidentally gave Brian Kendrick the win, when Spanky flew over the top rope into Ezekiel’s arms, instead of the floor. The ref saw it, and allowed Ezekiel to push Spanky back in, thus he will now be one of 5 men in the SmackDown scramble.

The other four men are current champion HHH, MVP, Shelton Benjamin and Jeff Hardy.

TNA: Okay, like the SmackDown tapings, I’m going to whittle this down to news only.

So Cal Val was invited to Karen’s Angle. Karen tried to bully Val into making a decision about Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal. This comes across as highly ironic, considering the fact that Karen is on the brink of divorce from Kurt Angle. Sonjay came on the set, to try AGAIN to persuade Val to choose him over Jay. But as Sonjay was touching Val, she screamed and bolted for escape, as Jay jumped Sonjay, and beat him senseless. Jay flung Sonjay around like a rag doll, and reared back to strike Sonjay again, but accidentally hit Val. Val’s head fell hard onto Karen’s floor, resulting in a concussion.

A.J. Styles retained Kurt Angle’s medals in a ladder match. A mysterious guitar fell from the sky to help the ROH alumni. Hmmm… ^_^

ROH: rohwrestling.com is currently gearing up for the next video wire, which will document Pelle’s accident in Chicago. In the meantime, there is a large article up on the subject, along with an article on how many people Nigel McGuiness has beaten to retain the ROH title.

PWO: CONGRATULATIONS JAKE CRIST AND VINCENT NOTHING!!! ROH alumni Jake Crist and PWO star Vincent Nothing are the very first PWO tag team champions. The belts were won after a LONG and laborious ladder match at PWO’s annual Wrestleution event. The Ohio promotion is small, and doesn’t earn much annually, so in place of the traditional hook and wire that most promotions use, the contract for the belts was hung on a long piece of yarn, which stretched out over the ring at an outdoor arena. Jake had to endure a cheating ref, who was helping everybody up the ladder in an effort to speed the match up, and the men also had to put up with flimsy and dangerous ladders, which buckled several times during the bout. Jake climbed the ladder, while everyone else was counting stars, and grabbed the contract. As he tried to unhook it, the yarn snapped, sending Jake all the way down to the canvas, as he cradled the prize.

Well that does it for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello everyone! Before we get to today’s Sailormoon and Wrestling news, I just want to point out something. Due to the amount of news, some sections will be split off, while others will be condensed. Also, due to lazy booking from both WWE and TNA, most of the results have been chucked, so you can get to the NEWS items faster. However, there’s enough news to keep you up to date through Thursday, so let’s get to it!

Firing Squad: WWE has had a massive firing spree over the last 2 and a half weeks, and many wrestlers fear that it’s not over yet. Since August 7^th, a large number of mid to low card talent, rookies and referees have all been fired for NO apparent reason. Here’s a timeline of the firings thus far:

August 7^th: Braden Walker a.k.a Wildcat Chris Harris was fired. WWE officials site poor behavior and a “bad attitude” but wrestlers and fans alike find that hard to swallow, considering the fact that Braden was in the middle of a push.

August 8^th: ECW Superstars Nunzio and James Curtis, SmackDown Superstars Shannon Moore, Domino, and Big Daddy V, and WWE referee Nick Patrick were all fired, for no apparent reason. These groups of firings seemed irresponsible, considering the fact that Domino and Big Daddy V had JUST been traded back in June, and were in line for new storylines. Furthermore, Nunzio was one of the last original ECW alumni left on the roster, and James Curtis had just inked a new deal not that long ago. Making things worse for the WWE, Shannon Moore had a STRONG following amongst female fans, and rest assured this might not be the last we hear of it.

August 9^th: FCW talent Charles “The Hammer” Adams, Brad Attitude, and Matt O’Neal were all let go. The Hammer debuted earlier this year at Wrestlemania 24 as one of Floyd Mayweather’s crew, and was also a former OVW tag champ alongside Bam Neely. Matt O’Neal was a football player, and Brad Attitude made many appearances on Velocity.

August 15^th:  ECW stars Stevie Richards and Colin Delaney, Raw tag team the Highlanders of Robbie and Rory, SmackDown Diva Cherry, and WWE referee Wes Adams were all fired without warning.  This was the most irresponsible firing out of the last few weeks, as two of the fired were in the middle of storylines! Cherry was one of 5 divas in line for the SmackDown Diva Title as well as one of the best liked divas all around, and Colin Delaney was in the middle of a program with Tommy Dreamer and Mark Henry. Robbie and Rory had JUST returned to Raw the week of their firing, and Stevie was one of a handful of original ECW stars left.One theory suggests that the two fired refs were let go because Nick Patrick (son of the Assassin and WCW alumni) was unable to work, and Wes Adams was dropped due to him giving a FAIR call. Wes, who doubles as a wrestler, was last seen one week ago, calling the match between Matt Hardy and Morrison. Vince McMahon reportedly wanted Morrison to win, but Wes made a fair call, and rightfully Matt Hardy was declared champion.16 people all together have been fired as of this writing, with more expected by the end of the week. With several of these people having been used weekly, right to the end, one can only wonder why WWE is slitting their own throats (metaphorically) and in the immortal words of Bill Goldberg, Who’s Next?

Injury Report: Ken Kennedy will be out for an undisclosed amount of time, following a dislocated shoulder. Also Umaga will be out 4-6 months after ripping his PCL during a house show. Both men are under observation and may require surgery.C.M. Punk received several stitches in the back of his head after his victory against JBL at SummerSlam. Punk appears to be okay, but was checking his wound for blood on Raw. JBL was well enough to compete on Raw as well, but may need to be reevaluated pending the same match. JBL had fallen at the PPV, slamming his head against the canvas WAY too hard. Jeff Hardy Had fluid in his elbow last week, and may have suffered one other undisclosed injury during SummerSlam weekend. No word yet on Jeff’s condition.

Sailormoon: 11 years after the final Sailormoon episode aired in
Japan, the pretty soldier of love and justice is still a trend setter, perhaps in a bizarre way. Young ladies in Japan have long since accepted the radical and often foolish surgical practice of giving themselves more “Western” eyes, but now many Japanese adults are having an altered version of the surgery, to make their eyes look more like Usagi’s instead of their own beautiful ovals.

WWE: In lieu of your usual results, I’m condensing this section to news for today. The only results I will be posting are from SummerSlam. Hopefully by Friday things will have settled down enough for me to return to the usual format.

In several recent interviews, Mick Foley made it VERY clear that he might be leaving soon. Mick’s contract expires September 1^st, and Mick has been absent for two SmackDown tapings. Mick did offer to appear at SummerSlam, but at the last minute, management pulled Mick for undisclosed reasons. Tazz has thus been moved to SmackDown, despite the fact that Tazz is ECW, and Matt Stryker has been moved back to ECW to replace Tazz.

SummerSlam suffered from haphazard booking. MVP beat Jeff Hardy via interference from Shelton Benjamin, Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix beat Mickie James and Kofi Kingston, with Santino winning the Intercontinental belt, and Beth winning the Women’s title. Matt Hardy beat Mark Henry via DQ after Tony Atlas pulled on Hardy during the fight. After the match, Jeff Hardy came out and helped his big brother beat on Mark Henry. HBK came out with his wife Rebecca a.k.a. Whisper, to announce his “retirement”. Y2J had come out to confront Shawn, and Shawn in return made a snide comment, involving Y2J’s family.
Jericho took a swing, and Shawn ducked, letting Rebecca take the blow. As officials came to her aid, she was heard to have been telling Shawn that she’s okay, just swollen. Shawn cried. Like a baby. As noted earlier, C.M. Punk beat JBL, and Batista beat Cena. In the main event, The Undertaker annihilated Edge, and then went back in the ring, and choke slammed Edge off a ladder in the ring, and through the ring itself! When ‘Taker lifted his hands, the hole where Edge’s body was ignited in a pit of flames!

Notes of interest from WWE: Kane revealed that Rey Mysterio’s mask was in the burlap sack he was carrying. In the midst of the firing squad, Colt Cabana and Shawn Spears made their overdue debuts in the ring since my last blog. Colt debuted last Friday as Scotty Goldman, and jobbed Brian “Spanky” Kendrick. Both boys are from ROH. Shawn Spears came out as Gavin Spears and lost a well fought brawl with Ricky Ortiz. Shawn had been in OVW for quite some time, and even worked a storyline not too long ago with Colt, the highlights of which are on youtube.

TNA: Jeff Jarrett is reportedly unhappy with Sting’s current conduct. Sting decided to no-show the impact tapings for this and last week, holding the company ransom for cash AGAIN. This caused a major stir amongst TNA talent, and last week’s taping was emergency re-booked around Sting’s walkout. Sting was supposed to have come out in person and address his “problem” with A.J. Styles and Samoa Joe, but instead, the younger stars were reshuffled. Joe wound up in a winning tag team match with Kevin Nash against Team 3D, but Joe was visibly upset after the match, and beat on the Dudley Boyz after the match was over. Referee Earl Hebner tried screaming at Joe, and was clocked for his effort. Earl then cried to another ref, and reversed the decision, giving Team 3D the win.

Jeff Jarrett has made it clear that he will no longer allow Dixie Carter and TNA to kowtow to Sting’s every whim, and will NOT approve another pay hike for the 49 year old. Sting will have to be content with his current multi figure salary for now, until he can prove himself a necessity.

Impact suffered from scrambled booking, with the main event being a Greco style match between A.J. Styles and Kurt Angle. Kurt received Sting’s bat, but Jeff Jarrett (who went unseen) dropped A.J. his guitar, allowing A.J. to thwap Kurt with said implement, causing Kurt to bleed and A.J. to win Kurt’s gold medal from the 1996 Olympics.

ROH: The reason for my absence was my preparation for an amazing Ring of Honor show in
Chicago! I was in a cozy crowd of 500+ fans who rocked the roof off the Frontier Fieldhouse Saturday night.

The pre show saw Ninja Blue and Ninja Yellow from the ROH School; team with Jaguar Jackson, to square off against beloved star Egotistico Fantastico, Nate Bash and Ben Sailor. The crowd was not too impressed with Sailor, Bash or Jackson, but were thrilled to see Egotistico and welcomed the Ninjas. Finish saw Team Ninja score a pinfall.Pre show main event saw Sugarfoot Alex Payne beat Hunter Matthews, proving once and for all who the king of Minnesota is. Hunter wanted desperately to be taken seriously as a heel, but kept screaming like a girl each time he was hit.

Kevin Steen beat Kenny King in a high energy bout, with the crowd behind Steen all the way.

Pelle Primeau was supposed to team with Delirious in a tag team scramble match, but Delirious had gone missing. Here’s a rundown of events:

Delirious likes Daizee.

Rhett Titus likes them both.

Daizee has no clue that anyone likes her. Period.Rhett made a video and told everyone (including Delirious) that he (Rhett) slept with Daizee.Daizee says Rhett’s a liar.

Delirious asks Daizee out.

She says let’s just be friends.

In Ohio, Delirious has a match with Rhett Titus. The Age of the Fall come out, begging Delirious to decimate Rhett and then join them. Delirious accepts, and bloodies Rhett. Daizee begs Delirious not to go with AOTF, but he goes anyway.

In Chicago, Pelle tells the live crowd that Delirious is missing.

Daizee comes out to the crowd booing her, as she asks Delirious out on a date, effectively changing her mind…. too late. Oy.

Mischif drops Daizee on her head, smiles, then leaves. The crowd applauds this.

Delirious comes out with the AOTF, and bloodies Pelle.

As a result, they were replaced with Mitch Franklin and Trik Davis.

Jigsaw and Ruckus beat Mitch & Trik, The Briscoe Brothers and Chicago’s own Phoenix Twins. This match was fast and furious, with the crowd screaming in delight, even up to the shocking finish of Jigsaw and Ruckus’s win. The Phoenix Twins are two bald boys from
Chicago, who wowed the crowd with speedy athletics. Hopefully, these two will be booked again.

El Generico defeated Tyler Black in a thrilling match. Tyler came out with Allison Wonderland, who flinched during the entire match.

Erick Stevens retained the FIP Championship against Chris Hero. Hero attempted to be serious through the match, but ultimately goofed up and Erick took advantage of it.

Bryan Danielson (Who was very badly sunburned) and Austin Aries defeated Nigel McGuiness and Claudio Castagnoli in tag team competition. Claudio came out wearing a long, cheetah print skirt, and a clean shaved head. Claudio has undergone a complete change, becoming more aggressive in a feud with Bryan Danielson.

In the Sweet n’ Sour Gauntlet, Roderick Strong beat Bobby Dempsey (who gave String a win while Larry Sweeney was distracted), Shane Hagadorn, Adam Pearce and Chris Hero, but due to Hero’s tactics, Roderick was pinned by Larry Sweeney, who was wearing a light blue Richard Simmons style singlet with pink stars.

Brent Albright retained the NWA World Heavyweight title against Go Shiozaki in a long and brutal match. Brent won by kneeing Go in the neck, until Go passed out!

The long awaited match of Jimmy Jacobs vs. Necro Butcher was the main event. Prior to the match, Jacobs made mention that Necro and his wife had just welcomed a baby girl into their family. (Awwww mozeltov!!) Jacobs tried to get out of the match, by sending Necro on a mission to Alaska. Necro asked Jacobs “With WHOSE money??” And “What’ll ya pay me?” and Jacobs reply was that it would be for the mission.

Necro asked for the mic.

Necro told Jacobs that his priorities were with his baby and his wife.

Necro then tried to help Jacobs with his priorities by clubbing him in the head with the microphone. Four times in a row.

The match spilled out onto the floor, fans crowded the area, following the match intently, while Sugarfoot and another man worked security, trying to keep everyone safe. Trash cans (the thick ones, not the flimsy WWE ones) chairs, and a wide variety of other utensils of destruction were used by both men as the match progressed back towards the ring. The crowd was HOT for the match, but eventually Jimmy Jacobs won via help from Tyler Black and a table. However, the fight did not stop there, as Delirious came out to help too, but so did the Briscoe Brothers, Kevin Steen and El Generico! Soon, the four faces had fought back the AOTF, and then fought each other. Once everyone got back in the ring, an irate Necro Butcher fought EVERYONE, then propped a chair, daring Jacobs to come back and face him again. Jacobs instead walked away, crying.

NOAH: Takeshi Morishima was caught by NOAH officials wrestling in two WWE dark matches this week. On Monday, NOAH officials sat in the
Chicago crowd with Harley Race, and watched on as Morishima-sama beat Charlie Haas, and then they watched again Tuesday at the SmackDown/ECW tapings as Morishima-sama beat fellow ROH star Jamie Noble in a short dark match. Hopefully, Morishima-sama will NOT sign with WWE, as they have a habit of stereotyping their oriental stars unfairly.

Well that does it for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello everyone! This has been a strange weekend, so let’s get to it!

In Memoriam: Although they weren’t wrestlers, they are more than worth mentioning. Comedian Bernie Mac, whose famous sitcom featured Stone Cold in one episode, and all around legend Isaac Hayes both passed away over the weekend. Bernie Mac suffered from pneumonia and sarcoidosis; the first mentioned having taken his young life at the age of 50. Isaac Hayes was only 65, and the cause of his early demise is unknown pending an investigation. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these two men, as they were taken much too soon. The two had been working together on a new movie due out November 14, 2008, titled Soul Men. On an eerie note, the movie follows two musicians who reunite pending the death of their band mate.

Injury Report: Killer Kowalski suffered a massive heart attack Friday. He is currently alert, aware and recuperating in a hospital. The 81 year old athlete is also suffering from long standing knee damage, and had surgery some time ago to repair the damage. More as it becomes available. Speedy Recovery, Killer!!!Also, Maryse reportedly suffered a broken nose, after her match on SmackDown this week, when Maria accidentally kicked her too hard.

Sailormoon:  There’s a news article up this week about the growing popularity of Bento lunches, the tiny malnourishment boxed meals celebrated in
Japan. The meals are now making a hit with health nuts and the article mentions Sailor Moon being a forerunner for this success, and even shows a Parallel Sailormoon inspired Bento, complete with a rice rabbit head, ala Kousagi’s enemy.

WWE: WWE.com reports that there was a massive firing spree starting Friday night and ending Sunday morning. This is NOT storyline, this is real.

In addition to Braden Walker/Chris Harris, Shannon Moore, Nunzio, Nick Patrick, James Curtis, Domino and Big Daddy V have all been fired from WWE, for no apparent reason. None of the aforementioned men had failed any known tests, nor did they fall into any immediate fault category. Each man curiously came from both the SmackDown and ECW rosters, which is odd considering the fact that these two brands are short on talent. Shannon Moore stayed on the light side of things, by telling 1wrestling.com (formerly owned by Joey Styles) that he “wishes WWE well in all their future endeavors.”

In other news, several newspapers are noting Mick Foley’s sincere unhappiness as a color commentator on SmackDown. The worst part seems to be how Vince McMahon screams into the earpieces of each commentator, rather than let the men do their job. Mick’s current contract expires September 1^st.

SmackDown: Adding to the above note, Mick did not show up for SmackDown on Friday night. Whether or not this is related to Edge’s attack the previous week has yet to be determined, but Tazz’s absence from ECW was explained, as it was announced that he had been sent to SmackDown to take over for Mick.

Maryse, Victoria, & Natalya defeated Michelle McCool, Cherry, & Maria in an Olympic dress up match. Maria proved to be no match to Natalya, who easily made her tap out.

In an ironic and now sad moment, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder defeated Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore. None of the four men knew Shannon would be unemployed after this match, as the decision to fire Shannon was made after SmackDown aired. This match is now bitter to swallow, as Shannon was denied a decent farewell match, despite the WCW veteran’s track record or fans, nor was he even given a heads up. This was a foolish and disrespectful move made by WWE.

Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin ended in a DQ, after MVP butted in and booted Jeff in the head.

In a VERY needless segment, HHH faced off against Khali in a broken glass arm wrestling match. It was the usual arm wrestling table, with broken glass. Wow. HHH made very racist jokes about Khali’s handler Ranjin Singh, prompting eye rolls from the crowd. Khali flung HHH around, and then squashed his head. HHH needed a carry out.

Vladmir Koslov beat Jesse and Festus in a handicap match.

In the main event, Brian Kendrick beat Super Crazy, whom although is ECW was sent ahead to SmackDown. After the match, Kendrick’s friend Ezekiel put Super Crazy in the torture rack.

During the evening, mysterious things happened backstage. Equipment was damaged, and Curt and Zach were layed out. Each scene had a black rose on the victim, prompting Chavo, Vickie and Edge to meet in the ring after the main event. Edge made it out as though this was Undertaker’s fault, but low and behold it was Edge. Edge whacked Chavo with a chair, then one man conchairto’ed Chavo. As Vickie screamed, Edge flipped over her wheelchair, and then babbled incoherently that he will take out her whole family, for putting him in a Hell in a Cell against The Undertaker this Sunday.

TNA: Hard Justice was a disappointment. Here are the quick results:

Petey Williams retains the X Division title against Consequences Creed, due to Davairi’s interference.

Gail Kim, ODB and Taylor Wilde defeated Awesome Kong, Velvet Sky and Angelina Love. Traci Brooks was the referee.

Beer Money of Robert Roode and James Storm defeated LAX and are now the new Tag Team Champions.

Jay Lethal, whose family was at ringside, defeated Sonjay Dutt in a Black Tie Brawl and Chain Match. Sonjay made the fatal mistake of making fun of Jay’s family.

Christian Cage and Rhyno defeated Team 3D, and even got post match aid from Abyss.

Kevin Nash tried unsuccessfully to get Sting to talk.

A.J. Styles decimated Kurt Angle in a last man standing match. Kurt had to be carted off after the match. A.J. was then ambushed from behind, by a crazed Sting. Heels, Faces and commentators all agreed that something is WRONG with Sting, perhaps beyond the realm of story.

Samoa Joe beat Booker T in the Six Sides of Steel Weapons Match. During the end of the match, the lights went out, only when they came back on, Sting was NOT there, but a guitar was!! Joe nailed Booker T with it, to score the victory. CONGRATS JOE!!! Could this be Jeff Jarrett?

ROH:  SHIMMER this fall will debut the new SHIMMER tag team belts! No word yet on whose in line to get a shot, but the details will be known shortly.

This Saturday will see the Chi-town ROH debut of Tweek and Dash Phoenix, two local kids who will be thrown into a tag team scramble against The Briscoe Brothers, Ruckus and Jigsaw, and Delirious and Pelle Primeau.

And on an even happier note, Jerry Lynn will make more ROH appearances this September. If all goes well,
Lynn might be an ROH mainstay!

Well that’s it for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!
