Hello Everyone! There was a lot of news recently, so I condensed everything down to just the facts. There is alot of Sailormoon and Wrestling news to get through. Let’s get to it! 

Congratulations: Stephanie McMahon Helmsley Levesque and husband Triple H welcomed their second child this week. Murphy Claire Levesque was born a bouncy 8 pounds, and joins older sister Aurora Rose Levesque in the HHH family. Kevin Nash officially wins this bet, as it was he who announced the child’s gender, shortly after her conception became public. 

Injury Report: Reports have been sketchy as to whether or not this took place, due to a hacking scheme. Elijah Burke’s blog reported that the young ECW star barely escaped death, after being struck by a car while jogging; however his blog was hacked into as the story became public, so Elijah’s true condition is unknown as of this time.  

Wikipedia has announced that Honky Tonk Man suffered a near severed finger during an appearance July 27^th. Below is a transcript from the article, full credit goes to Wikipedia: 

On July 27, 2008, Honky Tonk Man almost had his index finger of his right hand severed during a public appearance before an Ultimate Championship Wrestling show in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. As Honky Tonk Man told the story, he was doing an appearance at Boston Pizza in Charlottetown several hours before the show when someone wanted to take a photo with him with both men clashing guitars. When the guitars colided, the neck of Honky Tonk Man’s guitar turned and sliced into Honky Tonk Man’s finger, almost severing it. Honky Tonk Man was immediately taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital where doctors stitched the finger and bandaged it. Honky Tonk Man made his appearance at the Ultimate Championship Wrestling show several hours later. He was unable to wrestle his scheduled match due to the injury and was replaced by Trash Canyon, whom he managed from ringside. Honky Tonk Man, although injured and in obvious pain, sang his theme song twice in the ring and was a consummate professional. He is expected to finish the tour with UCW although the injury may prevent him from wrestling, he is expected to be at the shows. 

Also, C.M. Punk may have suffered a broken nose, as of a match he won against William Regal. Regal accidentally whapped Punk too hard during the match, in an attempt to gain the upper hand.  

Making rounds today is a story that Bret Hart may need surgery in the near future, to repair damage to one of his knees. 

And finally, Michael Cole has been out of action since Monday night, after he was thrown in the ring against Ted Dibiase JR and Cody Rhodes. More on this below. 

A speedy recovery is wished for all those mentioned in today’s injury report!

This week, I am going to forgo the usual results format, due to the fact that most of last week’s matches were stale rehashes. Instead, I am going to deliver to you the top stories, up through this morning.

WWE: In a move certain to bring Raw’s ratings down to Brooke Knows Best level, Mike Adamle was announced Monday night as the new Raw GM. Shock filled the arena, as bemused and confused wrestlers Dave Batista and John Cena stared down at Adamle, as he decreed Cena vs. Batista for SummerSlam.

The announcement, made by Shane McMahon, came after two straight hours of pure anarchy. Shane was the only one present who knew of his father’s decision to place the wrestling-illiterate Adamle as General Manager of Raw. Adamle had secretly changed much of the night’s match card, even placing Michael Cole in a tag team match with Jerry ‘The King” Lawler, against Ted Dibiase JR and Cody Rhodes. The result was Cole being hospitalized, after he was dropped onto the back of his head. This left commentary down a man, so Adamle himself sat with King, without giving anyone the heads up on his new role. Adamle of course can’t commentate his way through wet toilet paper, so shockingly, Jim Ross was called back to aid Adamle and King, after several other wrestlers had also stepped in. This move left both ECW and SmackDown without a commentator, as JR and Adamle were now out of the picture.

However, on ECW, Tazz happily made the announcement, that fan favorite Todd Grisham was now the new ECW commentator. Although not Joey Styles, Todd fit right in on ECW, and the two men cheerfully called matches, even tossing in a few ribs ad Adamle’s behavior, much to the delight of the crowd.

To see an animated Sailormoon themed viewpoint, head on over to youtube, and check out Codename Sailor Earth’s Sailormoon: Mike Adamle video!

On a happy note, William Regal returned to action Monday night, losing to C.M. Punk, in a grueling match. Regal’s absence gave him plenty of time to craft his skill, as he was able to bloody Punk, leaving Punk’s nose in question for next week.

On an even happier note, THE UNDERTAKER IS BACK!!

Edge brooded (ha-ha) all night long Friday, unaware of how to spin doctor his infidelity against Vicky. Edge even tried enlisting the aid of Bam Neely and Chavo, but of course, both men sided with Vicky, behind Edge’s back.

Eventually, Edge did greet Vicky in the ring, and gave a half-hearted apology, that was slopping over with over-acting. Vicky “forgave” Edge, but reminded him that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She informed Edge that while she was pissed, she re-instated The Undertaker, and signed Edge to a match against ‘Taker for SummerSlam…. Hell in a Cell. She cackled uproariously as SmackDown came to a close.

In other WWE news, actor Freddie Prinze JR has been added to the WWE creative team. The move was made due to Freddie’s involvement with the celebrity area of WWE’s fan nation/ universe.

TNA: Kurt Angle has broken his silence about a dark chapter in his past. Word making rounds is that Kurt spoke openly in an interview about an incident in which a woman he had an affair with went crazy and stalked Karen Angle and their family. This person also stalked Ric Flair. To read up on what happened, read the article here: http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/TNA/article1002289.shtml

In other news, Tomko has officially quit TNA. The decision came after several de-pushes, failed communication between himself and TNA, and a conflicting schedule. Tomko is heading to
Japan for more matches. Tomko will be visible in the next few episodes of Impact, but will be totally free come the PPV.

Also, TNA taped a few shows, one of which left Kevin Nash so upset, that he threatened to quit too! Exactly what happened will not even be hinted at, until the episodes air, but what ever it was, it wasn’t to Nash’s liking.

ROH: Over the weekend, Bryan Danielson won an extraordinary match against Tyler Black, after the top rope broke! In an entirely unplanned moment, the rope snapped while the two were about to do a move. Ring of Honor officials had forgotten to bring an extra rope, so to make up for it, the bottom rope was pulled out, and re attached as the new top rope.

Also, Nigel McGuiness retained the ROH title against both Kevin Steen and Claudio Castagnoli, two nights in a row! Despite Claudio’s earlier win the belt or bust comments, it seems as though the Swiss sensation will stay on after all.

And congratulations go out to Ruckus, for winning the first ever Honor Rumble match. Ruckus will now have a title shot against Nigel McGuiness!

Finally,  The Age of the Fall have updated their blog with an upset but upbeat and positive posting here:  http://projectonesixone.blogspot.com/  

PWO: Johnny Gargano’s finisher “The Uniquely You” now has a new place in
Americana, as the name is being used in an AT&T promotion for a new phone!

Mixed Media: Alexis Laree was Yahoo’s #1 search July 27th! Technically, this is WWE news, since Alexis Laree now goes by the name Mickie James,  but loyal fans remember the perky diva are the pseudo Goth warrior, and on July 27^th chose to make her their #1 search. Notably, Triple H has once graced the #8 spot.

In other news, Sandman has posted bail, and is back on the wrestling scene, after last week’s debacle involving an abhorrent restaurant disaster. Please refer to my last posting for full details on the incident.

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