Hello everyone! I had to take a few days off to comprehend the amount of dribble spewed forth on both WWE AND TNA programming over the last week. A very sad thing for me to type at all, when writing about TNA.  As reported Monday and Tuesday, this was national “Writers insult the Viewers Week”. Whereas most shows drowned us with environmental warnings, WWE and TNA chose to drown us with several incriments of stoooupid. Alot of today’s wrestling news comes from all over, so expect to see new sections in today’s blog!

On the upswing though, I do have some Sailormoon news to report along with the wrestling side, so let’s get to it!

In memoriam: Elevera Anoai Fatu, the mother of Tonga Kid, Rikishi and Umaga, has sadly passed on. She was the sister of Afa and Sika (The Wild Samoans), and she had been battling cancer at the time of her passing. Condolences and prayers go out to her family.

Sailormoon: Tune into Jetix/Toon Disney THIS MONDAY for the latest episode of YinYangYo! In this episode, which is a parody of D.C.’s “Teen Titans”, Yin is wearing a SAILOR MOON costume. She is featured in the commercial for said episode, criticizing the sailor suit and tiara. With Pucca last year having aired “Tokyo-a-go-go” where title character Pucca transforms into Sailor Pucca Moon, and now with Yin on YinYangYo sporting a variation of Sailor Moon’s costume, could this be Toon Disney or Jetix’s subtle way of saying that they are trying to get at least the 1995-2001 cut of Sailormoon? Think about it, Jetix and Toon Disney both already have several blocks of programming devoted to 1990’s television shows, with the main Jetix block worldwide airing several animes (Digimon, Shinzo, and in the UK Sonic X) while Toon Disney’s portion airs Pinky and the Brain, The Tick, Superman and Batman. Also, DiC was once a part of the main Disney franchise, as is currently Buena Vista~ Which was the FIRST distributor of Sailormoon videos in the late 90’s. As scary as this sounds, the ties that Disney have to Sailormoon would be strong enough for them to get the show back, ESPECIALLY now that Disney and Toei have a firm bond. With the two companies already having brought you several Disney movies, PLUS the new line of Asian inspired shows set to debut from the Teoi/Disney crossover in Japan this Fall, this is becoming quite a predicament.

Mixed Media: Did you know that current TNA female announcer Lauren Brooke was actually brought in by Spike TV? Lauren makes the third blonde announcer brought to TNA in less than one year.  Also, did you know that current TNA Knockout Salinas (aka Ariel, Shelley Martinez) has a cousin in WEW? Mercedes~who was once in ROH and is a contracted SHIMMER wrestler~ lost in a hard hitting match on WEW television this week to Salinas. Accourding to the announcer, their feud hasn’t been completely explored on free WEW tv, which airs on the Sunshine network Thursday mornings at 2:01 ct/ 3:01 et am. The announcer for WEW mentioned that at one point, the two cousins went their separate ways when breaking into US Wrestling, and that somewhere along the way, Salinas once took her cousin’s man. If anyone has further info on this developing storyline, please leave a comment below. No bad languige though, as my comment box is having some sort of censor error, and I haven’t fixed it yet.

Michael P.S. Hayes Watch: Okay, lemme adress the under 20 crowd first. For those of you who are too young to remember, Hayes was once a popular wrestler and one third of The Freebirds~ a legendary tag team. For you kids who’s parents allow you to stay up late, you can catch old footage of Hayes on AWA Classic Wrestling on ESPN Classic every weeknight at 12/1 am. You may even remember MVP beating him up on Smackdown a few months ago. Hayes is a writer for SmackDown, employed by the WWE.

For everyone else, I’m sure by now you’ve all heard about the recent incident.

Hayes has been suspended 60 days without pay by WWE, after a horrid incident at WM24. Apperantly several people (including TMZ.com) overheard Hayes ranting drunkenly to Mark Henry, claiming that Mark isn’t “black enough”, and then Hayes proceeded to call Mark a very horrible word that begins with the letter N. This is not a isolated incident apperantly! Several wrestlers (whose names I won’t mention) are coming forward, each one with a complaint of his/her own, as most wrestlers worldwide are angered at Hayes’ remarks. One wrestler who respects Ranjin Singh (whom I hear is very cool in person), claims that Hayes belittled Singh a while back, imitating an Indian accent, and called him a bad name. Other wrestlers complain that Hayes’ is 99% drunk, and that this sort of idiocy is typical out of him.

Hayes’ current ‘tude doesn’t seem to match the image the man once held in AWA. Exactly how the once buff P.S. with long flowing locks, degraded himself down to where he is today, is almost unkown, save but for a few of the men and women who watched him all these years.

WWE: I’m going to skip the SmackDown report, as the only two things of noteare that Undertaker beat Batista, after HBK gave Batista Sweet Chin Music, and Natalya (Nattie) Neidhart beat the living snot out of Cherry. Natalya used many of her dad’s moves, and then beat Cherry with the Sharpshooter, made popular by her uncle Bret Hart. AWWWW! Natalya and Cherry have the best bods on SmackDown, and Natalya makes the third women’s wrestler currently employed by WWE to use non-diva moves, the others being Victoria and Beth Phoenix.  Anyway, now to Backlash.

The lovable Mick Foley has debuted as SmackDown’s new announcer, replacing Coach. While this is a great way for WWE to save SmackDown, I can’t help but wonder why Mick wasn’t sent to ECW, SINCE MICK IS AN ECW ORIGINAL, AND WAS ONE OF THE GUYS RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING ECW ON THE MAP!! Anyway, any chance to see Mick is a great one!

 MATT HARDY IS YOUR NEW US CHAMPION!!! Matt evaded all of MVP’s usual tactics, to end a title reign that lasted more than 10 months. And even though Chavo brought Bam Neely with him as a helper, Chavo was unable to beat Kane, and so KANE RETAINS!!! Big Show Chokeslammed Khali to score a win, after a long match where Khali showed off his regular mat skills. HBK tricked Batista with the old “possum” gag to score a miracle win. Remember kids! “Possum ain’t dead ’till you scrape it off the road.”~ Sal Bandini from the movie Ready to Rumble. Go rent it! The next match was all about heels vs. faces as the heel divas of Natalya, Beth Phoenix, Melina, Jillian, Victoria and Layla defeated the kinda face faction of Cherry, Mickie, Maria, Ashley, Michelle and kellyKelly. UNDERTAKER RETAINS!!! Yep Edge just tapped like Shirley Temple. However Edge was bleeding quite a bit after the bout, and was carried off via stretcher . No word on Edge’s condition.  And now the devastating news….

Triple H is your new Raw champion.

Yes, I could just cry about now. Hey WWE! Since HHH is the new champ, how about giving him a new challenger, whose name ISN’T JBL or Randy Orton, ’cause we’re all just SICK of them. How about A Hardy boy, or Jericho, or Regal or Funaki or Hardcore Holly (since you ignore the tag belts), or… or…. dang, I can keep going!

TNA: Okay, after rewatching Impact, I’m sorry to tell you that out of respect for the wrestlers on said show, I’m going to omit most of this week’s taping. I’ll just point out the important stuff. Samoa Joe beat the daylights out of Kurt Angle, retaining the title. Scott Steiner helped a bit, by whapping Kurt with a blunt object while Joe and the ref were distracted. After the match, Scott babbled incoherently at Kurt and Joe, and so Jim Cornette~now the most hated man on the roster outside of Earl Hebner~ decided to change the match at Sacrifice, by making it a 3 way for joe’s belt. It will now be Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle vs. Scott Steiner.

And that’s not all in the Cornette’s-insane dept.

ROH fans remember that Cornette was mental as all get out, before he was dropped from the ROH roster a while back, and now his insanity has gone into TNA.

Cornette rambled on Impact Thursday, saying that he is sick and tired of the entire roster, calling them spoiled moronic crybaby bimbos. He also said that at Sacrifice, he wants to see carrers, bodies and even a human being’s LIFE sacrificed. (This comment scared new commentator Lauren.) To that, Cornette wouls later announce a women’s battle royal for the PPV. It will start off with most of the TNA Knockout locker room piling into the ring, and then it will change into a women’s ladder match after all but two are eliminated. The winner gets to face off against Awesome Kong for the title. Loser gets a Britney-inspired makeover~ where she will be shaved bald. Out of touch there, Jimbo? Yeah, I can just imagine what the ladies are going through: If I win, Kong beats me up. If I lose, I get shaved. I just plain LOSE!

Ahe but it gets better.

Cornette didn’t forget the men that night, as not only did he screw up Joe’s match, but he also added the Deuces Wild Tag Team tournament. Here’s how the match works:
 
* Eight LEGIT tag teams will compete in tournament bouts on Impact to qualify for the Deuces Wild Match.
* Four teams will win. Then the four winning teams will make it to Sacrifice.
* Four more teams made up of singles performers will be put together randomly to face the four legit teams that qualified during Sacrifice.

……….. O_o; HUH??? If you need to go back and re-read that line, go ahead and do so. And if you think Jimbo here’s lost his mind, then you are correct.

Also, there are stories hitting several newspapers claiming that Shark Boy is to get his own show, aimed at preschoolers. Weather or not there’s any weight to this remains to be seen.

ROH: rohwrestling.com has a lenghty report on all the latest troubles surrounding certain wrestlers. It’s amazing how many of the feuds have a connection! Also there is mentioned Roderick Strong’s woes, as he is trying to maintain focus while dueling with Erick Stevens and also swatting away Larry Sweeney.

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

Hello everyone! I hope you had a good Earth Day yesterday. No news on Sailormoon, except for the fact that more newspapers online are comparing some of the new video games to the beautiful style of Sailormoon. But there’s plenty of wrestling news, so today I’ll start off with the most important news first, and then the WWE/TNA bits.

ROH: As you know, Mark Briscoe was stabbed after his match on Saturday by Jimmy Jacobs. Mark is set to undergo surgery Friday to repair the damage. His older brother Jay was told yesterday that Mark’s injury will not mean a vacation of the tag team belts. Jay is allowed to keep his half of the belts, but he will need to find a stand-in for Mark. Jay is currently making his decision, and will pick somebody already on the ROH roster. Jay will make his decision soon, and rohwrestling.com will have an update shortly.

WWE: Apperantly it’s national “Booking Commitee Insults Viewer’s Intelligence Week” as WWE once again failed to entertain the masses. Odds are, if you are reading this, then you are already sick of hearing about Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama’s apperance on Raw, but if you have succesfully avoided Monady’s travesty, here’s a brief run-through.

The three Presidential Candidates invaded Raw, each one giving lame, outdated speeches, trying to mimick wrestlers whom are NO LONGER ACTIVE. Hillary was Hulk Hogan, Obama was The Rock and McCain was Ric Flair. I’m not going to re-type the whole thing, I’m only going to point out that Obama is for universal healthcare, which America desparately needs. Anyway, Shimmer wrestler Lexi “Remember what happened to Ace Steel” Fyfe played Hillary, while EWA-CWA wrestler Deon “Don’t you ever do this again” Davis played Obama, and the two wrestled briefly, after the REAL Hillary and Obama had already embarrased themselves. The match lasted, until Umaga saved the day, knocking them both out.

William Regal became the new King of the Ring, after beating Hornswoggle, Finlay and CM Punk during the taping. Regal was the only one who had any kind of break during the gauntlet, as Finlay was already injured, having had his knees clubbed in by Khali. Hornswoggle tapped quickly in Regal’s first match in the tournament, and CM Punk was already suffering from severe back pain and knee problems.

Most of the other Raw matches were hastily thrown together, as were the matches last night on ECW. ECW ended with Edge’s “Cutting Edge” show, as Kane was his guest. Kane thrilled wrestling fans everywhere, with his mic skills, trouncing Edge, who had the audacity to bring up Lita, Kane and Lita’s dead baby, Kane’s dead parents, Kane’s accident, and the fact that Edge took Lita from Matt and Kane both. Edge briefly mention that Kane had another bad relationship prior to Lita. Was this in reference to Tori, Chyna or Katie Vick? Hmm. Anyway, what started off as entertaining suddenly turned violent, after Kane bopped Edge’s head. Edge, Curt Hawkins, Zach Ryder and Bam Neeley beat on Kane, and then Chavo bashed Kane’s knee in with a chair.

AND THE BOOKING DEPT. MISSED A GRAND OPPORTUNITY FOR UNDERTAKER TO COME IN AND SAVE HIS BABY BROTHER, BUT OF COURSE SINCE NOBODY AT WWE IS THAT PARTICULAR IN THE BRIGHTNESS CATEGORY, KANE WAS LEFT ALONE FOR NO GOOD REASON!

And they wonder why the ratings are slumping?

PWO: Saturday saw Gregory Iron get seriously hurt by Johnny Gargano near the end of this week’s taping. Gregory at one point was unable to breathe, after Gargano dropped him on his already injured head, and assaulted him, until the other wrestlers piled in. Gargano was dragged away, laughing, as all of the PWO wrestlers used a table and part of the set to make a make-shift gurney. One of the staff has had some basic medical training, and was able to stabilize Gregory’s neck, as the kid was trying to stay awake. One of the commentators even attempted to beat Gargano, as Gargano was boasting about beating up the kid with cerebal palsy. After several intense minutes, Gregory was hoisted out of the building. As someone whom has seen people struggle with cerebal palsy, and those whom are recovering from brain trauma as Gregory is, I am deeply appalled not only at Gargano, who is sick and depraved and beats on the handicapped quite often, but also at the promoter for PWO. What exactly is your problem, “sir”? Why would you

a. Hire a guy like Gargano, who thrives off of beating on ONLY the handicapped, and NOT the healthy wrestlers.

b. allow Gregory Iron to compete, knowing full well that he had no medical clearance, and already has suffered from brain hemmoraging and palsy, and

c. think in your head that this is actually a good thing to do???

Any promoter in his RIGHT mind, would have sent Gregory home, and then fired Gargano, or at least gotten counseling for Gargano before EVER letting Saturday’s events play out on PWO. For shame!

Well, that’s enough for now. As always, stay clean and healthy, and read a good book when you can. Until Next Time!

GET WELL SOON GREGORY IRON!

Hello everyone! Today I’m only going to write about what’s important, so all of the WWE and TNA news is postponed until my next blog. There’s no news on the Sailormoon front either, so let’s get to today’s HUGE news!

ROH: Mark Briscoe will undergo surgery Friday to repair his arm, after he was stabbed with a spike by Jimmy Jacobs, Saturday in Chicago. Mark’s injury occured after he and his older brother Jay lost a match with Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, but before I continue with the severe nature of Mark’s condition, lemme start off with the beginning of the show first:

Rhett Titus & Danny Daniels defeated Trik Davis & Current Top of the Class trophy holder Ernie Osiris in a fun-spirited match during the pre-show. Titus loves dressing up, and this time wore a white Playboy vest with matching bow tie.

At 7:45, the main show started. The opening contest saw Austin Aries defeat the returning Silas Young, who as you know, has come back from a several month stay with WWE. Silas tried many different moves, but ultimately he was bested by the more experianced Austin. AAaaaaaaaaand THAT’s where things got dicey!!

Jimmy Jacobs came out, and at first was happy, thinking that Austin was now a part of Age of The Fall, having previously sent Lacey to Austin’s to persuade him. However, Jacobs reminded his “friend” to stay back from Lacey from now on, as he doesn’t like people messing with HIS “things”. Ah, but Austin corrected Jacobs, telling him that during the week, Lacey and Austin had enjoyed plenty of “non-verbal communication” and that although she showed him what AotF could do for HIM, HE wound up showing HER what HE can do for her. He then added that for Jacobs to send a woman to do a man’s job, means that Jacobs is… an alternate word that means “kitty”. Austin warned Jacobs to stay away from himself AND Lacey. The two stormed off after that.

Sugarfoot Alex Payne and Mitch Franklin were supposed to have a one-on-one match, but Jacobs, still visably angry, decided that he was so upset at Austin for taking Lacey, that he was going to send Necro Butcher to beat up Sugarfoot and Mitch.

Okay, lemme re-type that, in case you just said “HUH??”.

Jimmy Jacobs, was so mad at Austin Aries for taking Lacey, that he sent Necro Butcher to beat up Sugarfoot and Mitch. Okay, Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? WTF?

Necro bloodied the two boys. And then babbled incoherently about facing Morishima in May. HUH??? (You should have seen everyone’s faces…)

Claudio Castagnoli & Pelle Primeau defeated Brent Albright & Adam Pearce who brought  Shane Hagadorn & Larry Sweeney along. Pelle had a hard time with Brent and Adam, but was sporting a cool new hairdo! From far back, his hair is now black with blue highlights, but up close, it’s also purple, green and yellow! (Nice kid, I got his autograph) anyway, Pelle survived many brutal chops from Brent, whom at one point hit the kid so hard his back almost bled! But Pelle carried on, and tagged in Claudio, and Claudio saved the match, to the delight of the Chicago crowd. After the match, Brent stormed off, leaving the rest of his group frantically trying to calm him down and bring him back. (Psst! Brent! Face-turn? It’ll work!)

MsChif beat the living daylights out of former PWO starlet Ashley “Lexi” Lane, in a four corner match that also included Daizee Haze and Lacey. Ashley had gotten herself new brests, in an attempt to woo the ROH crowd, but too bad the girl hasn’t learned yet that Ring Of Honor is about WRESTLING and well…. HONOR. Not showboating breastsusus. With that having been said, Ashley was dominated by Shimmer’s finest. By the way, MsChif as always had the best outfit of the Shimmer women, sporting  Christmas-Green attire. Daizee gets second place, with a cute white, lavender and green outfit in spring-time colors.

After the match, Jacobs came back out again, and was decent enough to hold the ropes for MsChif’s exit. Jacobs asked Lacey to tell him that Austin was lying earlier, and that nothing had happened. Lacey took the mic, and screeched for the crowd to give her some privacy! (Crowd cracks up!) Lacey says “Jimmy! Jimmy honey? Baby, I don’t want to do this in public, I…. I don’t know how to tell you… imbreakingupwitubyebye!!” To wit she drops the mic, runs up the ramp, and is greeted by Austin with a movie ending snog to end all kisses!!!!

O.O                    Woah…. Insert Tuxedo Mask~Sailor Moon pic here.

Austin and Lacey leave, with her echos of “I’m Sorry” ringing in Jacobs’s head, as he fell to the canvas, weeping.

………. And he stayed there, weeping. Until Tyler Black, Zach Gowen, Joey Matthews and Allison Wonderland came to collect him. Jacobs repeatedly swatted the team back, insisting upon privacy, as Tyler rolled his eyes. At first, the crowd was chanting for his tears, mocking him, but when it became obvious that he was REALLY hurt, the crowd turned sympathetic.

Chris Hero enjoyed a miracle win over Delirious, while Larry Sweeney spent the whole match tormenting Bobby Dempsey, trying to hide him, and even slapping him! Despite what’s been said about the shy Bobby, he HAS lost quite a bit of weight since his first pre-show matches.

The Murder City Machine Guns of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin had a miracle match of their own, when they somehow beat the Briscoe Bros! Alex and Sabin, whom were sporting Delirious inspired Green pants, were welcomed by the Chicago crowd warmly, after their one year absence from Ring of Honor, due to TNA commitments. Alex especially seemed at home during the match, while Sabin was showing off what he had learned from last year’s match. The match was intense and high energy, with the crowd leaping to their feet at EVERY single move either side had made. If there’s a reason to buy the DVD, THIS MATCH IS IT!!

After the contest though, Jimmy Jacobs (remember him?) came tearing out, as the full AotF piled in, beating on the Briscoes, while Alex pushed a confused Sabin up the ramp to safety.  Jacobs then pulled a pimped out spike, complete with Jaguar head, out from his cane, and stabbed Mark in the arm. Mark screamed up the ramp, as Jay ran after him, panicky. Necro Butcher was so shocked, that he declared Jacobs WRONG, and went his own way behind the other members.

Kouta Ibushi (who had Michael Nakazawa with him) defeated El Genericho in a slow starting, but fun match. Twards the end, both men started to really fly, as the crowd woke up in applause. This was Kouta’s first Chicago match, and hopefully by the pro-Kouta chants, it may not be his last. (Maybe??)

Tyler, Joey and Zach of the AotF defeated The Vulture Squad of Jack Evans, Ruckus and Jigsaw in another high energy bout. Ruckus has shown some improvement, though he copies off of Molly Holly, while Zach seems out of place with ROH, and botched several of his own moves.

After the match, Jacobs (Yeah, again.) came out to settle the score with Austin. Austin came right out, and was briefly subdued by the AotF. But as Jacobs was going to stab Austin in the neck, Lacey came trucking out, begging Jacobs to stop. Jacobs screamed at her, and threatened to spike her too, but ultimately still loves Lacey, and thus can’t hurt her. Nope, not even with the Chicago crowd behind him. Nu-uh. Jacobs walked away sobbing, while Tyler yelled out “Dude what is WRONG with you???” as the AotF followed. Necro was not with them at the time.

Kevin Steen got his butt beat royally by Nigel McGuiness in the main event. Steen needs a new hobby. First the Briscoes, and now Nigel? Oy vey… Nigel almost took the kid’s head off!

Well, Raw’s starting with MVP bothering Jericho, so I must dash. As always, stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until Next time!

GET WELL SOON MARK BRISCOE!!!

Hello everyone! Did you miss me? Of course you did! Now onto today’s top stories.

Sailormoon: Well! SOME of you have been helping ALOT with the Bring her back campaign, as numberous schools across Canada and America are allowing students to hold anime review stage plays, in which the theme from Sailormoon is sung aloud! Also, Google news has several new articles looking at the impact Sailormoon has left on new artists and the general North American populous at large. Please head on over to http://news.google.com/news?num=100&hl=en&um=1&tab=wn&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22Sailor+Moon%22&scoring=n to follow up on these developments. But be advised! This is only the beginning!! Please visit my page on “How to save Sailor Moon”, there’s a link on this blog. LOOK FOR IT FOR SAILORMOON!!

WWE: Fans are threatening a boycott of next week’s ECW taping, due to Joey Styles having been replaced with Mike Adamle. The decision to replace Joey was made just prior to airtime, with NO further warning made out to Tazz or the rest of the ECW crew. Joey will now head off a new area of wwe.com, but his new role is still unkown as of this writing. Adamle butchered ECW’s airing, even calling The Brothers Of Destruction simply “Destruction Bros.” Adamle had a difficult time keeping up with simple names like C.M. PUNK, and even got ALL of the move names wrong. Now, most fans would have looked past this, if not for the fact that Mike Adamle has been with WWE since January AND SHOULD HAVE ALREADY KNOWN THE NAMES OF ALL THE WRESTLERS BY NOW, INCLUDING THEIR FINISHERS, SINCE HE’S BEEN ON EVERY SINGLE RAW TAPING OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS!!! Tazz did his best to ease tensions and welcome Mike, but with Joey gone, only Tazz, Tommy Dreamer, Nunzio, Steve Richards and the partially inactive Balls Mahoney remain on the current ECW as ECW originals, since everyone else was too young for the original East Coast show. For those of you who are too young to remember, Mike Adamle was the announcer for the original American Gladiators, which you can watch on ESPN Classic each week. Adamle has no prior knowledge of professional wrestling, with his earliest tie being that a former athlete that was featured on American Gladiators (the original), would later tag team with Billy Gunn (Kip James) and Chuck Palumbo as the fun loving “Rico”. Paul Heyman is said to be outraged over Vince’s hiring of Adamle, and has posted a funny new read here: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/heyman/article1060395.ece Even non-Heyman fans are appriciating his wry sense of humor and thought provoking truths.

The ECW card was mild, with the best match of the night hands down being Undertaker and Kane~THE BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION, beating the daylights out of Miz and Morrison. ECW also had a diva contest for no apperant reason, with Kelly Kelly getting a cheap win. The crowd could not have cared less. Also, Mike Knox flun Colin Delaney’s body around like a rag doll. CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang defeated Deuce, Domino, Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin in an 8 man tag. Adamle managed to call Jimmy Wang Yang “Wang-yang” and Kofi “Coffee”.

TNA: Okay, this was a confusing card. Bare with me here. Samoa Joe came out to give a victory heads up to the viewers at home that he intends to hold the title with honor, dignity, and respect. Scott Stiener came out with Rhocka Kahn and Little Petey Pump, and gave Petey the X Division title shot briefcase. He then bantered incoherently at Joe, that at the next PPV he wants a title shot. The came Kurt Angle, who informed Joe that due to the “win belt or quit” contract Joe signed, that Kurt gets a rematch next week. Okay. So then Jay Leathal cut a promo while waiting for So Cal Val to vacate the LADIES bathroom. As he finishes, SONJAY DUTT AND VAL come out of the LADIES room! O_o Um…. nevermind. So then Jay wins a brutal match against Johnny Devine, retaining the X Division Championship. But then Petey comes back and WHACKS Jay upside the head with the briefcase! After attacking Jay’s head several times, he screams and babbles incoherently, and then asks the ref Rudy Charles to ring the bell. Petey then drops Jay on his head one more time in a Canadian Destroyer, and 1-2-3 Petey is your new X Division champ. During both matches, Petey and Johnny were incoherent, and Johnny made several passes at Val. The brutality prompted Sonjay to come back and tend to his friend Jay, while Val cried REAL tears, unable to comprehend why these two had it in for Jay. LAX faced off against AJ Styles with Tomko, and Eric Young with Kaz in a three way for the tag belts. During the match, Eric left and out came Super Eric. Super Eric pinned AJ, and the ref counted it, even though AJ’s shoulders were up! Now this left Super Eric and Kaz the new title holders, but AJ thought “Hey wait a second! If Eric wants us to play along and believe that Eric and Super Eric are 2 different people, even though they exist in ONE body, then shouldn’t Super Eric’s run in count as outside interferrance???” AJ brought this to Cornette’s short attention span, and after much bickering out of ol’ Jimbo, Cornette asked Super Eric if he’s still Eric Young in there. He replied that he is NOT Eric Young, but instead Super Eric, Son of Mortar, Father of Zyon. So because Cornette can’t be bothered to follow comic book lore, he stripped everyone of the tag belts, and now the tag team titles are vacant. Still with me here? Rhyno and Christian won against Team 3D, and afterwards, Brother Ray and Devon got into a huge fight, which security had to break up. During the night, Cornette had a screaming match at the TNA Knockouts, screaming that they are spoiled brats, even though the women all have to share one teeney-weeney lil’ dressup room that’s cramped. Cornette made no sense, even screaming at faces like Roxxi. ODB even paused drinking for a moment to process Cornette’s babbles. Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi in an exciting match. Bobby Roode, Kip James and James Storm were defeated by Booker T, Matt Morgan and Sting. After the bout, Morgan and Sting had some words, boasting about “their” victory, which Booker T took exception to. Booker T stated that he didn’t NEED THEIR help, and that if Sting wants a crack at him, meet him in the ring next week.

ROH: Kevin Steen has some form of death wish, as he is once again throwing himself at Nigel McGuiness, first in a tag team match tonight, then one on one for the title in Chicago tomorrow. Last week was so intense after Nigel used the ropes to score a victory, that Steen had the nerve to even scream at ROH owner Cary Silkin! O_O; Steen wants Nigel’s belt, and doesn’t really care how he gets it at this point.

Well that’s all for the moment. Wow that was alot, wasn’t it? As always, stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello everyone! I hope all you US fans had your taxes finished already. Today’s the due date!

WWE: Raw aired from London this week, and first I want to talk to you about the most shocking moment of the taping. During the night, Shawn Michaels came out to moan as usual about how rough he has it, and how he’s tired of always apologizing for his past. Flair’s music hit, but after several moments, Jericho came out! Y2J informed Shawn that although he feels Batista is taking the Flair incident a bit far, that he does agree with Batista that Shawn is thriving secretly off of his match at WM24. Some of Y2J’s comments include the following statements:

That Shawn thrives off of screwing certain people out of the WWE.

That Shawn probably was the main guy who gave Vince McMahon the idea to retire Flair.

That Shawn enjoyed screwing Bret.

That Shawn enjoyed kicking Marty Janetty, and then tossing him through a plate glass window over a decade ago.

That Shawn would probably do all of the above again, just for fun.

As Y2J begged the sulking Shawn to admit to all of the above, Shawn kicked Jericho at full force, close range with a sickening *BAM*. Shawn admitted to liking kicking Y2J, and pranced out of the ring, while Y2J clutched his jaw, checking to see if his teeth were all there. Jericho was later added to Shawn and Batista’s Backlash match as a special enforcer ref. Y2J would later win in an I.C. title match against Umaga, whom was called “You-Main-Ga” by playful London fans, since that’s what Regal calls him. Carlito and Santino became #1 contenders for Bob Holly and Cody Rhodes’ tag titles, after beating Paul London and Spanky, In an exausting surprise, Mickie James rolled up Beth Phoenix to win the Women’s Championship! After a commercial break, Mickie celebrated with Maria and Ashley, and forced a kiss onto Todd Grisham!! JTG beat Murdoch, which seems to have upset Lance Cade, Randy Orton beat Willaim Regal, after several botched moves, Paul Burchill was jobbed by Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and HHH was set to face off against JBL, but the match went to DQ, after Randy Orton got invoulved. JBL later hit Randy for this.

ROH: In the first contact since Friday, Austin Aries informed ROH officials that he is feeling much better, though it is unclear if he is truely healed enough for this week’s shows. The cards for the weekend are being updated, as Delirious will square off against Chris Hero in Chicago. Also, Pelle and Claudio will do battle with Brent Albright and Adam Pierce in a tag team match, Saturday! Also for Saturday, Nigel McGuiness will put his title on the line against Kevin Steen, and Kouta Ibushi will face off against El Generico.

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

Hello everyone! This past weekend was an exciting one, let’s get to it!

TNA: SAMOA JOE IS YOUR NEW TNA CHAMPION!!! I thought I’d get to the hottest story out of TNA right off the bat. Joe’s family was in attendance, as Joe soundly pummled Kurt Angle in the Lockdown main event. It was described as one of the most intense TNA matches of the year, and it’s only April! Also on the card, BG James beat Kip, and then after the match, held his hand out to him. Kip held BG’s hand up, only to cheap shot him a second later. ODB and Gail Kim enjoyed an accidental victory over Awesome Kong and Saeed, after Kong hit Saeed by mistake. Booker T and Sharmell whipped Bobby Roode and Ms. Payton Banks in a fairly fast match, Team Cage beat Team Tomko, after AJ Styles was dropped on his head off a cage through a table! (Hope he’ll heal okay!!) and then there were two oddball matches. Stop me when they sound like Vince Russo wrote the stipulations.

First up, lemme tell you the stipulations of the Cuffed in the Cage match: Eleven sets of handcuffs were stationed inside the cage. Each man who was cuffed was eliminated. The 12th man free was declared the winner. Meaning that only one man would represent his tag team, even though his partner would still be in the match, so in effect it was every man for himself, instead of his team. If you just scratched you head and said “HUH??” then you are a-ok! Super Eric won.

Now lemme tell you about the other head scratching match, the Queen of the cage match: ALL of the TNA Knockouts (except for ODB, Kong, Gail or Saeed/Melissa) battle on the outside, and whichever two make it into the cage, get to wrestle one on one, until one woman remains. AH, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t CZW have an almost identical match, except with men, cardboard and crud from their mommies’ basements? Check out the WSX DVD set, it’s an extra. Anyway, if again you just shook your head and said “Whaaaaat?” then you are still a-ok! Roxxi Laveaux won!

Now onto one spot that I just can’t wrap my head around. The X-scape match was first on the card?!?!?! Yes, you read that right. The match for the X-Division Championship was first on the card. Showing you exactly what Dixie Carter now thinks of the people who originally put TNA on the map. The match was HOT, with the contenders whittling down to Johnny Devine and Jay Leathal. Devine, stealing from Colt Cabana’s playbook, used his own athlete’s tape to tape Jay to the cage, but Sonjay appeared out of nowhere, to help Jay X-cape! Sonjay cut Jay down, and then Jay threw himself out the door, and tumbled to the floor, before Devine could even climb down from the structure! Jay retains the belt!!

ROH: JAY AND MARK BRISCOE ARE NOW THE 5 TIME ROH TAG TITLE HOLDERS!!! The Briscoe Bros. have won the belts away from Davey Richards and Rocky Romero, and now have a sleu of condeners after them. The Briscoe Bros. are more than happy to welcome any and all challengers, but ROH officials have decided that their match against Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin Saturday in Chicago will be non-title, since it is unknown if The Motor City Machine Guns will be allowed to return to their ROH home anytime soon after Saturday.

Well that’s that for now, I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS SAMOA JOE, JAY, MARK AND LEATHAL ON YOUR TITLE WINS & DEFENCE!!!

As always, stay clean and healthy, and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello everyone! There was some scary news for Sailormoon fans, and some oddball wrestling notes, so let’s get to it!

Sailormoon: Okay, don’t be alarmed, but there is a new version of a virus that has Sailor Moon in the name. It’s the Die Hard 2 Unbeatable Sailor Moon virus. Everyone head on over to http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2008/04/top_10_virus_na.html for details. Also, the bottom of the page has a spot for comments, if you want to post your outrage that the name of Sailormoon is being tarnished! Codename Sailor Earth from Moon Sisters has already posted.

WWE: Smackdown made me hurl (for real) this week! During the two hour broadcast, which was preempted in some markets this week, Edge and Vicky were spotted at a beauty salon, to get Edge’s mind off of getting his butt kicked by Undertaker at WM24. The two enjoyed matching peticures, Strawberry Fields Forever toenail polish (yes, Edge did this), massages, facial masks, and even grossed out Teddy Long, by attempting to make him guard them in the dark as they got carnal. Teddy walked out, furious as I headed to the Great Porcelin Genie in the bathroom for a lengthly conversation. This is why I tape it every week. In other news, Undertaker decimated Festus in the main event. Jesse watched from the outside, but was unable to teach Festus how to tap out. Festus passed out due to ‘Taker’s triangle hold. Since referee Charlie Robinson had passed out after an accidental hit earlier on, it was Jimmy Corderas who rang the bell. After the match, Jesse laid his body out fearfully over Festus, and begged ‘Taker to leave Festus be, and ‘Taker obliged, only doing his beloved dark pose. Vladmir Koslov defeated indy star Matt Logan~ and this is week two that they turned the lights, screen and music OFF on Vladmir, Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang lost to Miz and Morrison, Matt Stryker lost a hillarious match to Finlay~ as Hornswoggle soaked and streamered Stryker during the match, and even hit him with a blowup schleighleigh (which you can buy at wweshopzone.com) before Stryker succumbed to Finlay’s REAL beatin’ stick. Matt Hardy beat Chuck Palumbo in an impossibly hard match, Victoria beat Michelle McCool, after Michelle was distracted by Natalia (Nattie) Niedhart, daughter of Jim “The Anvil” for you newbies out there. Natalia is an indy sensation with a beautiful bod, and now joins Cherry and Beth Phoenix as women wrestlers whom are blonde, but have normal, healthy figures. Hopefully they will start a trend of smart girls who eat right! Also, in an uncomfortable moment, SmackDown had started, after Khali was shoved out to the ring, in a psuedo “peace offering” for Big Show. Khali offered Big Show a chicken, a goat, some scotch, and some holy water. Big Show thanked Khali for the genorosity, shook his hand, but since the two have always wanted it, Big Show hit Khali, initiating their match for Backlash.  In another uncomfortable moment, Batista and Shawn had another arguement, venting secrets that some fans may not have known about them. After the argument closed, Shawn attempted to superkick Batista, but Batista ducked, weaved, grabbed Shawn’s head, went to lift him up, but Shawn weaseled his way out.

Oddly enough, SmackDown aired from Boston Mass. The same spot TNA’s Lockdown PPV is set to air from tonight! Coincidence? I think not…

In other non-SmackDown news, Torrie Wilson updated her blog recently, and is contemplating retirement, due to a nagging back pain.

TNA-ROH: Do not try to adjust your browser, you DID read that right. ROH held a Boston show last night (again with Boston? Hmm…) and to everyone’s surprise, sitting in the crowd were Homicide and Christopher Daniels!! However, as they were greeted by ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky, who should also be in attendance but DIXIE CARTER!!! (Lightning crashes) Gabe, being a gentleman greeted all three during the evening.

ROH: At the Boston show, Erick Stevens won a title shot, set for that evening, after beating Roderick Strong, El Generico and Rocky Romero in a four corner match. Erick later lost in the title match to Nigel McGuiness. Jason Blade defeated Michael Nakazawa, Eddie Edwards beat Jigsaw, and then embarasseed himself by joining Sweet n’ Sour Inc., Jack Evans and Ruckus scored a miracle win over the Briscoes, Claudio Castagnoli, Delirious and Pelle Primeu beat the snot out of Brent Albright, Larry Sweeney and Chris Hero, Davey Richards defeated newcomer Kouta Ibushi, and Kevin Steen made Necro Butcher tap like Shirley Temple, after locking his legs in a sharpshooter over barbed wire!!

WEW: In an update from last week’s news, Shimmer girls Lacey and Rain were defeated by Sumie Sakai and Annie Social, after Lucyfer helped Lacey botch a move. (Oops!!) Former TNA starlet Sirelda, now known as Butch, faced off against “Prime time” Amy fn’ Lee.      (Not the singer.) The match started off ugly and sloppy, but the outcome will NOT be known until next week, as they went off the air! Hey, WEW? I got a suggestion for ya. If you really want people to take you seriously, then please… QUIT IT WITH THE LAME “MUSIC” VIDEOS, Pu-LEEEEEAAAAZE! That’s a good 10 min. that SHOULD be going to a WRESTLING match! C’mon people, help your fanbase out here.

Mixed Media: Jesse “The Body” Ventura scared the closed minded Sean Hannity this week, on his radio show. Topics included the election, abortion and 2001. You can read a report on the incident here: http://impactwrestling.com/Content.aspx?ID=17598

Well that’s that for now. I have a Doctor Who marathon to catch up on. By the way, new season starts Friday on SciFi, so be sure to have an extra tv on hand, so you can catch SmackDown and Doctor Who, as Kylie Minogue is gonna be on! (She kisses David Tennant!) Sarah Jane Mysteries and Torchwood are good catches too!

As always, stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello everyone! ^_^ Today had plenty of newsbits, so let’s get to it.

Sailormoon: To show you that love of this series is alive and well, there is a news article touting various easter eggs in video games. Among them is a Super Sailor Chibi Moon character in Silent Hill 3! To view, please head on over to: http://news.filefront.com/the-most-entertaining-unlockable-costumes-for-video-games/ On a side note, if you own a Wii or PS2, there’s another Sailormoon reference I must note! In Mortal Kombat Armageddon, go under “kreate a fighter” mode. Then, select a female player, and go under hairstyles. Anime 2 is Sailor Moon’s hair! Dye it yellow, then look about the other items, you will find a school uniform, her manga wings, and even her boots! Also, you can play as two Sailormoon named characters: Sareena (Serena) and Hotaru (a boy.). And in Bomberman Land for the Wii, look under hair at the shop. A short version of Hotaru’s hair appears! Also, if you play through the game a bit, under accesories, you will eventually find Peruru’s wings!

WWE: The ring name for Chavo’s new helper accourding to wwe.com is Bam Neely. OVW fans might also know him as Justin “The Ox” LaRouch. In other news, reports claim that there was a robbery scare WM weekend! Several news outlets claim that Batista’s rolex and some of the wrestlers’ passports went missing. No word yet on the culprit. On an unrelated note, some newspapers have posted a story about taggers, spraypainting churches with DX logos on them. (HOW CRASS!!!!) For more information on which newspapers are covering this late breaking story, check out google news.

TNA: Somewhere in the night, I can just see Eric Bichoff and Paul Heyman wishing they could re-book iMPACT’s main event that aired Thursday. The main event saw Sting and Kevin Nash (WCW/nWo) vs. Team 3D (ECW), with Brother Ray having earlier cut a promo, saying that the elder wrestlers like Nash and Sting bleed companies dry, bully promoters, and are ultimately the reason why WCW folded in 2001. The match went to a no contest, after Team Tomko and Team Cage got invoulved. Samoa Joe signed the contract Kurt Angle drew up, stating that if he loses at Sunday’s PPV, Joe retires. Joe looked very good in a clean black suit, while Kurt wore a loud pinstripped suit with a grey thick striped tie that doesn’t match anything. The card also saw the cute Roxxi defeat Angelina Love w/Velvet Sky by using plenty of Amazing Kong’s moves, Super Eric defeat Black Reign, and in a very shocking moment on the card, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin battled against Petey Williams and Scott Stiener in a high flying, high spirited match. Alex and Sabin utilized many of the moves ROH fans love from them, but in a shocking twist, Alex was pinned by Petey after the Canadian Destroyer. And that’s where it got WEIRD. Scott seemed thrilled at Petey’s win, however, he informed Petey that he still had one (or three) more things to do before his “training” was complete. It wasn’t enough that Scott had already electrocuted Petey, hit him with his car and used him as a car ornament, nor that he had beaten and tried to drown the poor kid, but now he had to cut off Petey’s trademark locks. First came the scissors, then the clippers, then more shaving and trimming, until Petey had little hair left, but then Scott shocked Petey by giving him his own chainmail headress. Now Petey as dubbed by the commentary, stands confused next to Scott as “Little Petey Pump”. Oi vey… Also, Consequences Creed returned, to beat Jimmy Rave for a spot at the X-Scape match for Lockdown.

And that reminds me, Samoa Joe was part of a conference call, answering many questions, and divulging in some playful trivia. You can catch up with Joe’s comments at: http://impactwrestling.com/Content.aspx?ID=17571

Also, Kurt Angle stated in an interview recently that, during his tenure with WWE, the most ammount of time anyone from THQ spent with Kurt was 2 minutes, saying also that THQ never really pays attention to wrestlers, and that’s why many SmackDown titles lack playability or correct information. (See digital Kane’s face about three games ago.)

ROH: Jack Evans is 100% ready for this week’s shows! Jack will be in a tag team match this week invoulving the Briscoe Bros. In an odd twist, Lacey and Austin Aries have gone missing from ROH offices. O_O Hope everything’s okay! Earlier this week, it was reported that Austin had to reluctantly pull out of today and Saturday’s cards, due to a massive head injury. No word yet, but their MySpace pages have been updated….

Speaking of which, Alex Shelley has responded to Jimmy Jacobs’ blog. These two face off next Friday, to settle an old score. The former tag team turned rivals are said to have had their differences since the beggining. You can read excerpts from their blogs at: http://rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=1839

Mixed Media: Some idiot at CBS has gone and played a cold joke on wrestling fans. CBS touted that an upcoming episode of “Secret Talents of the Stars” was set to feature Ric Flair salsa dancing. At first, CBS promised this would be episode one, but continually pushed the show to one timeslot after another, until finally airing the show this past week. SANS FLAIR. However, although CBS still promised The Nature Boy in a following episode, the series was just CANCELLED after dismal ratings for ONLY the PILOT episode. BOOOO!! >_<

On a nice note, Marc Mero (Johnny B. Badd) is the new face of The National Coalition for the Advancement of Drug-Free Athletics, and is touting good morals, and is teaching kids and younger athletes to stay away from steroids and drugs, and other enhancers, so that more athletes will play healthy and clean. “Remember kids, sometimes it’s healthier to be a bit pudgy and heart-happy, than to be action figure ripped, but feel sick. Play clean!”- This was a comment from Codename Sailor Earth.

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

Hello everyone! I just wanted to update you on the wrestling scene real quick:

ROH: Austin Aries has suffered from a head injury, and will be forced to pull out from the events for this week. Austin wants to return in time for next week’s shows in the Midwest, but ROH officials want him to rest, and come back ONLY if he’s at 100%. Get well soon Austin! If you are headed to Friday or Saturday’s shows, head on over to rohwrestling.com for the latest cards.

WWE: Raw on Monday was lackluster, but mentioned two new matches for Backlash. Due to Cena and HHH winning their handicap matches against JBL and Randy Orton respectivley, The Raw title will be defended in a four way for the PPV. It will be Randy vs. HHH vs. Cena vs. JBL. Also due to confrontations in reguards to HBK’s contoversial win over Ric Flair at WM24, it will now be Batista vs. Shawn at Backlash. The Raw card also saw Beth Phoenix beat Maria, Santino Marella and Carlito score a miracle win over Bob Holly and Cody Rhodes, Brian Kendrick (Spanky) and Paul London beat Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, and Umaga beating Val Venis.

On the ECW side of things, Tuesday saw a wild crowd welcome a packed card. Chavo and Kane have signed their contract to sqaure off at Backlash for a rematch for the ECW title. As Kane and Chavo playfully bantered back and forth, Chavo said coily that from now on, he has someone looking out for him. With that, a large newcomer from OVW helped Chavo put Kane through the table. This has only angered Kane, and next week, he’s bringing his big brother The Undertaker to settle the score. Kofi Kingston won a surprise match against Domino, CM Punk beat Miz, after Morrison was thrown out by the ref, due to his lousey commentary, and Tommy Dreamer beat Colin delaney in a contract vs. carrer match. Tommy reluctantly pinned Calin, but has not given up on the kid getting a spot on ECW.

That pretty much does it, Wrestling Fans! I’ll have a full recap tomorrow for TNA’s iMPACT taping. As always, stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello everyone! This is actually my second post today, but since my first one was deleted after I hit the “Publish” key, I’m retyping everything again. ARG!! Not much from the WWE camp, as Raw was lackluster. So I’ll just update you on the Backlash card so far, but first, Hello Kitty?

PWG: Sanrio mascot Hello Kitty defeated fellow Sanrio member Kuromi at Saturday’s Pro Wrestling Guerilla event. Kitty White, born November 1st with twin sister Mimmy, was a crowd sensation. Hello Kitty is part of a new faction known as the Kitty World Order (kWo). Here’s a transcript from 411mania:

Kitty World Order Debut:
Hello Kitty Defeats Kuromi, Pinfall via Roll-up
- Clearly one of the most odd matches in PWG since the “Tuxedo Match” between Joey Ryan and Top Gun Talwar, this match featured two grown men in tights with Hello Kitty/Kuromi masks on. Hello Kitty wore a pink singlet and a Pink mask with a Pink bow on it. Instead of going for a comedy match it was a fairly serious lucha style match up with Kuromi actually swearing at the crowd for extra “heel heat”. While the match was like watching a strange AAA match on Galavision it was passable, consisting mainly of roll-ups and reversals. It appeared that Hello Kitty and perhaps the other men were both Japanese. *hint hint* No idea if this will be a semi-regular occurrence, but the crowd seemed to be fairly into the match in spots. *1/2

Please read the rest of the transcript, which includes PWG crossover matches with ROH stars at: http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/72557/Pro-Wrestling-Guerrilla-\\Its-a-Gift…and-a-Curse\\-Report-4.05.08.htm

WWE: Due to tensions that ran high Monday, Backlash will see a fatal four way for the Raw heavyweight title. It will be HHH vs. Randy Orton vs. JBL vs. John Cena. Also, because of the explosive tension between them over Flair’s retirement, Backlash will see Shawn go toe to toe with Batista.

In other news, new reports suggest that Big Daddy V was not sent home due to illness, but instead due to his size. V is reportedly okay, but at 350lbs. WWE management want to see him drop at least another 50 lbs, even though he’s already lost more than 100 lbs since his return to television a few years ago. These unfair practices will one day bite WWE in the behind…

Mike Knox may be under fire, as a home he recently moved out of still contained bottles of steroids and needles. The goods were found by the new homeowner’s children, and police are investigating the situation. No comment from WWE at this time, but several newspapers are already pointing fingers.

Mixed Media: Andrew “Test” Martin was arrested Sunday, after police say he was driving under the influence. Test was a WWE star for several years, and was last seen on tv at a TNA iMpact taping. He is also one of the only open supporters of deadly steroids. More as it becomes available.

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