On the heels of a bloody " One Night Stand" and amidst rampant net rumors that the Undertaker has either retired or been forced off of smack down, it is time once again to surf the sights and see if we can separate the hype from reality if there is such a thing in this business .
Starting off with the injury situation. As a result of CM Punk Chop Blocking the Big Show and him falling on the steel steps , show has a fractured sinus cavity and possibly his orbital bone . He is seeing a specialist in LA tomorrow. Randy Orton has a compression fracture of his left collar bone and will be out until September . This puts the title picture on raw in an odd light. I know they think that Cena and HHH will hold things together but based on the reaction of the fans on Monday night , Jeff Hardy has to be part of the equation. Despite his many flaws, Hardy still has the built in fan base that he has always had.
With the general manager job still open on Raw, they threw the fans another curve Tuesday night when Teddy Long was named ECW General Manager and Armando Estrada was moved to the active Roster. Teddy then put Armando in a match with Matt Hardy which he quickly lost . Then Teddy put him in another match up against newcomer Colin Delaney and lost again. Teddy then told Estrada that he was taking away his contract and that he would have to earn it back. I think the move is good in that Teddy knows what he's doing and the language thing with Estrada Real or not just doesn't work. Besides as Buff as Armando is , he should be in the ring more.
I certainly hope that I'm not the only one that is real tired of seeing the Hogan's name all over sights like TMZ. What happened to their son and the other young man was a great tragedy and son Nick has received a fair and just Punishment for his part in what happened . I don't care if he is having problems coping . I don't care if he and his father said some really stupid stuff in a private conversation. And I don't really care which Hogan Parent is Banging some young thing . The world doesn't need to know all of this and I really hope it stops soon. All this really proves is that rich families are just as screwed up as poor families
Some good news for a change. Rey Mysterio was back stage at One Night Stand looking very fit and ready for action. I'll bet he wasn't real happy that the show was in his home town and he wasn't ready to go. And for the future heirs to the McMahon family fortune, Stephanie will not be going on the road for TV taping s or PPV's and for all practical purposes, is on maternity leave. It is widely thought that she will be off for a while and she has made it clear that while on leave she will have little if anything to do with the creative process.
And now to the subject of the ultimate Warrior . For weeks now the net has been ripe with stories of the warrior's training sessions down in Texas . He has been putting out short promo's on You Tube bad mouthing just about everyone and now TNA is talking to him with the thought of reuniting the Blade runners . Not a real good idea guys. Anyone that has ever had any dealings with this man has never had anything good to say about him. I know you guys are looking for ratings , but think this through before you do anything that you'll regret .
And to the WWE, why are you being such pricks about Flair going to the NWA hall of fame ceremony . You have to realize that the bulk of the Nature Boy's career didn't even involve the letters WWE. It makes you look petty and deprives a great in ring performer of recognition that he deserves . You didn't handle his last run all that well so lighten up and let him go.
Last but not least , folks the Undertaker is just taking some time off to heal up some nagging injuries. He hasn't flunked a drug test .he hasn't been fired. He's not retiring . He is in the middle of a long term deal and making huge money.
