Hello Everyone! Okay, so I’m about 3 hours late as I type this, but I do have all the hot news you need to hear about for wrestling, so here we go! (By the way, no Sailormoon news yet.)

WWE: From the lazy booking department, tonight will feature a 3 hour Raw, devoted to WrestleMania Rewinding, as current employees will be tossed into rematches from the last several WM events. Despite nagging injuries, some of which stemming from an all too brutal match against Chavo on last week’s ECW taping, CM Punk is still scheduled to be in action. This will be interesting to see if WWE can even place Punk on the Wrestlemania rewind card AT ALL, seeing as how the former ROH champion has only been on TWO Wrestlemania cards. What’s more, his first WM, he was only stationed as a backup gangster for John Cena, and was not allowed to compete. CM Punk’s second appearance in WM history saw him in a Money In The Bank match against The Hardy Boyz, Finlay, Ken Kennedy, Edge, Randy Orton and current TNA STAR~ Booker T, who was brought to the ring by new TNA STAR~ Sharmell. With this said, Punk can NOT be in a Wrestlemania Rewind match, since one of his five opponents is in TNA. Besides, it was a Money In The Bank match, which Kennedy won, meaning that the winner of the bout gets a title shot, which he can use at ANY time within one year of his match. Once again, the booking dept. is absent.

TNA: The PPV aired to a hot crowd in  Norfolk, Virginia Sunday night. Fans are reporting that prior to the three hour spectacle, some were able to get autographs from Jay Leathal and Traci Brooks for $10, with proceeds going to charity. Aww! That’s cool. Here are the results:

LAX won the #1 Tag team title contendership in a bout against The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) and the Rock n’ Rave Connection (Jimmy Rave & Lance Hoyt), Jay Leathal beat Petey Williams with help from So Cal Val, who was then chased by Rocka Kahn, Eric Young became Super Eric and he teamed with Kaz to beat Rellik and Black Reign, Awesome Kong dominates spectacularly, defeating Gail Kim and ODB,
Shark Boy and Curry Man beat Team 3D in a Fish Market Street fight, however, due to a bet made with Cornette over their collective size, Brother Ray and D-Von may not have to be weighed before each match anymore. Impact will have more on this this Thursday.
Due to Payton’s help, Bobby Roode won a strap match against Booker T, with the stipulation that Payton would be allowed to whip Traci Brooks 10 times upon Bobby’s win. A distraught Booker T was forcefully manhandled away from the ring by security, and then Payton delivered her 10 lashes, even hitting Traci’s ear. But when the abuse was supposedly over, Bobby snatched the strap and whipped Traci himself. However, just as he was about to become more violent, Booker T’s wife Sharmell appeared out of the clear blue sky, and began whipping Bobby with her own strap! Security tried in vain to subdue the pint-sized former WCW valet, only to be strapped away themselves. Jim Cornette even made an attempt, and Sharmell was quick to whip the TNA match maker aside. Eventually she was restrained by a very frightened security team. Rhyno beat James Storm in an Elevation X match, bringing Rhyno’s E-X score to 2-0. James had been sober throughout the frightening match, but ultimately lost his grip, and crashed through a table. EMT’s arrived shortly there after to collect him. Samoa Joe, Christian and Kevin Nash defeated Kurt Angle, Tomko and AJ Styles in a six sides o’ steel cage match when Tomko got too cocky, and was quickly made to tap out by Samoa Joe! Although Karen Angle was absent from the PPV, Jeremy Borash delivered a message to AJ, declaring that Karen has an announcement planned for Thursday’s Impact.

ROH: DDT Promotion’s Kota Ibushi is all set for his mid-April tour of Ring Of Honor! One of Japan’s hottest prospects, Ibushi-san will spread out his tour over a week or so, in several matches to be fought in several cities! To find out where Ibushi-san will wrestle in the US, head on over to rohwrestling.com.

Mixed Media: A&E Biography this week is sporatically playing wrestling documentaries throughout March. Sunday saw the edited version of “The Unreal Story Of professional Wrestling”, a documentary that was filmed in the late 1990’s, lists WCW and WWF as the only two major promotions, and despite evidence of ACTUAL injuries, questions the validity of the SPORT. Anyone who doubts wrestling should take their inqueries to Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Sabu, Rhyno, Samoa Joe, or any other sane, anti-suck-up wrestler. There should be about One hundred million of them at least, in the United States. For everyone else who’s smart enough to know when a wrestler needs EMT’s legitimately, can watch this show ONLY for the spots that have wrestlers on it, and NOT for the “experts” who claim they know so much about sports, yet have NEVER even done anything more physical than to tie their shoes.

Are the storylines real? Usually no. Is the action real? YES. That’s REALLY a guy bleeding in the ring. That’s REALLY a guy’s spine hitting the canvas at 25 mph. They don’t make blood packets or color changing bruise makeup. It’s real. I dare any non believer to buy a ticket to an ROH event, and sit butt up against the ring. Go ahead. Now wait for the first guy who’s face is turning blue to lean over you. Watch his eyes. Check his cuts. Feel like being stupid? Doubt it now? No? Well then, I rest my case.

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