-[World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Wrestling News]-

- Vince McMahon has been on edge and unhappy with Raw recently. It’s no wonder, if you take the wrestling out of WWE, you just get World Entertainment.
Here are at least three suggestions to improve the respective brands.

1. Make damn sure Jeff Hardy stays. He’s the first ever trending topic on twitter related to WWE. He was in the top ten for over 8 hours.
2. Sign Samoa Joe and AJ Styles giving them headlining matches against Triple H, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, and etc…
3. Hire Awesome Kong and re-think that wholediva vs wrestlersituation in the women’s division you got goin’ on there.

- A week after WWE wrestlers clashed at Night Of Champions, it seems that Vince is not too happy with the way things turned out. Sources behind the
scenes report that McMahon was VERY upset with the
Chris Jericho and Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. Big Show was supposed to
compete in the Six Man Battle Royal for the US Championship. He was replaced in the match with
Primo after winning the Unified Tag Team
Championships with Jericho. Has Jericho truely staged a coup?

- Speaking of Unified Tag Team Champions, there is still no return to workdate set for Edge. His injury seems pretty serious. Many people who suffer a torn
achillies tendon never walk correctly again. Right now, the WWE is stating that they hope
Edge will be ready by Wrestlemania 26, but there are no
guarantees.We are praying for you
Adam.

- If you did not see Monday Night Raw this week, you missed a spectacular show. Shaq did a better job as general manager than most people hired internally
to do the job. The
Cryme Tyme vs. Jericho and Show match was off the hook and gave JTG and Gaspard a long over-due push. Now it’s looking like Cryme
Tyme
will face the Undisputed Champions once more at SummerSlam for the titles. Run with it fellaz, you deserved the push, now make your mark!

- There is talk in WWE Creative about making Gail Kim a heel character to take Maryse’s spot as she may possibly need surgery. I can see the Mickie
James
vs. Gail Kim controversy starting already with the last two “uncharacteristic” wins by Gail as she blind tagged Mickie both times to get the win for her
team.

- Has Chris Masters come a long way from being a poser to being a wrestler? In case you missed Monday Night Raw this week, Masters re-debuted in a
“Beat The Clock Challenge” against
MVP for the right to face Randy Orton at SummerSlam. MVP and Masters fought to a double disqualification that, not
only featured the “Masterlock”, but a new and more serious side to
Chris Masters.

- E.C.W. had a few good matches this week. Tyler Rexx vs. Paul Burchill was action packed from beginning to end and Shaemus vs. Goldust really pushed
the new Irish wrestler’s career. I still believe that
Shaemus should lose the silly smile, dress, and act more like a biker with a bad attitude. Cover the
vampiric skin dude.
Vladimir Kozlov and Ezekiel Jackson may soon team up to become contenders for Jericho and Big Show.

- The Brian Kendrick was released from his contract this week. According to professional wresting insider reports, his backstage attitude mirrored his
in-ring attitude and he is no longer seen as a valued member of the roster. Sources also indicated that Kendrick was one of the most frequently fined
WWE wrestlers due to failure of their wellness policy guidelines.

- Beth Phoenix returned to action this past Monday teaming with Alicia Fox and Rosa Mendes to take on the team of Mickie James, Gail Kim, and
Kelly Kelly. Mendes still needs training and Kelly never even got in the ring. The real news is that Alicia Fox has adopted a mean streak
and
Gail Kim keeps stealing victories from Mickie James.

-[Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wresting News]-

- Total Nonstop Action Wrestling celebrated it’s 200th episode this week. Congrads to all the folks in TNA!

- Former World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar Elijah Burke has “unofficially” signed with TNA. He will be obviously sporting a new in-ring name and
no word yet as to when his start date might be. Elijah will be an asset to TNA if he performs like he did early in ECW or better.

- Shark Boy will make his return on iMPACT! right after TNA’s Hard Justice pay-per-view. Gimme a shell-yeah!

- Main Event Mafia member Traci Brooks will be the first TNA Knockout to grace the pages of Playboy magazine. So Cal Val was quoted by Sunsport magazine as sayingthe women of TNA are ready to step up and pose for Playboy now that the WWE Divas have pulled out. For some reason, I just can’t picture Awesome Kong in Playboy. Seriously though, congrads to Traci. The previews I saw were HOT!

- Mick Foley actually left something on his blog recently that should read whiney memoirs of a legendary wrestler. In it, he complained about the time contraints put on him in his recent keys on a pole match against Kurt Angle. While I completely agree that the wrestling matches in TNA are almost overshadowed by the constant barage of meaningless promos, the last person I want to see wrestle Kurt Angle is you, Mick. No disrespect intended toward Foley, he is truely a legend pro wrestling. He has been involved in some of the most brutal, barbaric, barbed-wire, steel-cage shows I have ever seen. That being said, Mick, you don’t even look like you can walk well any more, let alone wrestle against the likes of Kurt Angle. I’d love to see you and Taz doing announce jobs for the company. I know it’s not ideal, but you’re not doing any favors for anyone when it’s obvious, even in your own blog post, that you are not ready for mentally or physically. Nuff said?
