There were some strange things happening at an Indy show in northern Ohio . Jake “the Snake “ Roberts was doing an Indy show and depending on what account you believe , either fell off the wagon with a big thud , or get this was drugged. The Snake's troubles in his life have been well documented and this seems to be another bump in the road for a damaged soul who has been dieing bit by bit for a long time . Jake is not to long for this world and all I can say is that I hope that is quick and painless as possible . I don't think that whoever is handling him right now is doing him any favors by pushing some silly story I was drugged story when he himself admits to drinking that same night.
While we are on the subject , Bob Holly entered a rehab facility in his native Georgia to deal with a painkiller addiction . I've been a fan for awhile , long enough to remember the stupid gimmick they brought Holly up on. Holly has been in the middle the majority of his career and while I understand abusing prescription drugs is a very real problem, how do you tell a man that you know is in a certain amount of pain from the time he gets up in the morning till the time he limps his way to bed at night, no you aren't in pain you have a drug problem. Bob Holy left parts of himself all over this planet. When the came up with the “Hardcore Holly” gimmick and then put him on ECW he tore himself up for the company . Not to mention he's a member of the I seriously injured my neck in the WWE club and most of us know how big that club is. All I have to say is don't judge, let him get through the process before you start labeling him as another casualty of the business.
The next bit of news is that apparently TNA made plans for Booker T to fly to “No Surrender” and at the last minute he either changed things at the last minute or just blew them off. Well as someone that had to deal with the remnants of Ike, I can honestly say that if a storm was threatening my home , I wouldn't want to fly off to a foreign country either. Booker hasn't really been used all that well in TNA and if their not careful, he could walk away from them as well.
Yet another rumor floating around cyber space is that with five weeks to go on his contract, Kevin Nash may be headed back to the WWE. I know that there would be built in storylines with this but the man at times can hardly walk half the time. They already have one crippled giant with Khali , I don't think they need another.
Well the long awaited TNA debut of Mick Foley will be this Thursday according to SE Scoops .com . From what I here its going to be an interesting one. With the ratings on RAW flat lining this past Monday , it might be the perfect time for TNA to make a big splash in the cable TV pool.
Charlie Haas has stumbled upon something that may be away to take a few shots at TNA. Haas has been coming out the past few weeks on RAW dressed up like various other wrestlers on the rosters in some very funny matches . Now just think for a minute, I think that the WWE still owns the name Mankind , Dude Love, and Cactus Jack. What if you started to see Haaskind , Dude Haas ,or even Charlie Jack. For a promotion that made fun of Goldberg for weeks, sounds right up their alley to me .
And finally , I have been reading a fair amount about Benoit on line and while I'm not supporting any alterative theory to the tragic end of three lives, there are some visible holes in the whole story that need to be addressed. The amount of empty beer cans that were at the crime scene for example. Benoit was not known as a heavy drinker and there was none in his system according to toxicology reports. There was testosterone in his system but he was being treated for low testosterone by his doctor. The police who where not the first to see the bodies because they couldn't deal with the dogs in the pool area. The neighbor had a key and she was the first to find the bodies. This raises all kind of issues about scene contamination and police procedure. There was no way to know whether there was a third party in there with a gun so putting a civilian in that position breaks every police procedure that I have heard of . Not to mention the fact there is a suspect that did threaten Benoit in front of witnesses that to my knowledge has never had to alibi himself. Nancy's first husband , Kevin Sullivan was a booker for WCW when Benoit was there and one of the storylines was for his wife to have an affair with Benoit. Well guess what , they actual fell in love and she left Sullivan for Benoit. This all happened Ten years ago, but Sullivan did threaten to kill Benoit in front of witnesses. In my book, a death threat is a death threat, no matter how old it is. Like I said , I do not subscribe to any of alternate theories as the gospel truth, but something's need to be addressed .
