Downhome

It's a good interview, but I think some of you are making far too much out of some of the stuff that he said. I may agree with some of what he said, but I don't like him any more than I did before. I'm pretty sure that most of his matches will bore me to death just like they did before I heard this interview.

I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I am watching this game (thanks to CDWOW!) and I may have to start watching it more often. I didn't know viscous headbuts to the chest were included in this game. Seriously though, I think I could really get into watching this sport. I'm having a blast watching this, even though I don't know much about the rules and everything.

From PWInsider:

Check out the new episode of WrestleCrap Radio: http://www.wrestlecrap.com/wrestlecrapradi...radio070706.mp3 At the start they talk about one of my least favorite things about WWE today.

I like how the world champ is just tossed to the side.

True, but hearing him talking about his time as a New Blackjack was even weirder.

How many times has Super Crazy been known for being the reason a match went so wrong? ...how 'bout those Braves tonight!

Your mama taught him how!!!

Did someone remove that chick's ass?

Well, I'm happy to see JBL remain constant with his gimmick, even towards the heels.

A nice preview of a future tag team feud in there right now.

Who was Batista with in that cage when Mark Henry beat him up?

A recent PWInsider bit stated that a lot of editing had to be done to make the match presentable for TV, and then after the match Kennedy was blaming the bad match on Super Crazy, complaining about his ring work/style. Because of all of this, it's said that his push is just about dead in the water, at least for right now. Yeah, blame Super f'n Crazy for a bad match...

Ummm, well this is certainly interesting: http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/commentary/070806diary

Damn, and here I was hoping that we were in store for a conjoined twin tag team gimmick.

From PWInsider: And from RobVanDam.com:

PWInsider on why Kurt Angle has been suspended: -They say that he was not suspended just to give him time off, since he doesn't take time off on his own. No, they go on to say that he was suspended because of some actual wrong. They have been told why it was done, but they are not saying the reason right now. They did go on to say that if you really think about it, it's pretty obvious and that you should read between the lines, and to not think that Kurt Angle is some sort of saint, because he most certainly isn't, and if you think that, you're insane. He's been through a lot here lately, and when you go through a lot, other things can happen. So, take from that what you will.

I'm going to go ahead and post all of this from PWInsider in this thread also: -Quite a few other wrestlers were pulled over for speeding in the same area that RVD/Sabu were stopped. -RVD will be gone for 30 days, but he's in line for a huge push on his return next month. -It's been said that RVD and Sabu are taking their punishments like men, and not complaining at all since they know it's their fault. -Sabu's push will continue. -So, obviously, neither men will be fired over this issue, and after this month, they'll be moving forward as if it never happened. -The reason Sabu isn't being suspended is because the drug paraphernalia found on him had not been used, he simply had it. -Vince McMahon loves Sabu so much right now that Sabu doesn't have anything to worried about in terms of getting fired or being de-pushed. Vince loves the oldschool type of wildman character, as well as his in ring work. -RVD had a bad knee months ago, and he's been needing time off anyway, so this is almost a good thing for him. -RVD was originally going to transform the WWE title into the ECW title, so that's why he got both titles. He was going to drop the WWE title at Vengeance, but then they had the idea to do it on the SNME show. In the end, he only lost the belt just under two weeks early. -There was never any plans to have RVD drop the ECW title. -Kurt Angle is taking time off because of personal reasons. As a matter of fact, Kurt has been suspended for 30 days as well, but they are not sure why. The reason he didn't come back now that RVD is off the show for now, is because he's officially suspended because of some sort of personal reason. -The creative meetings recently, because of everything that's happened, have been totally brutal. They went well into the night on Sunday night, and then all day on Monday. -The Al Snow/Test match was originally going to be a competitive back and forth bout, but it went short because they wanted more time for the main event. -The network was behind them saying that Tony DeVito wasn't actually a priest there at the end of his little rant. They didn't want it to be viewed that they were really beating a priest. -The "ECW Rules" thing was totally Vince's idea, and his alone. -Internally, they decided to put the strap on TBS, and many thought it was the end of the RAW crossover. But no, the "ECW Only" show was just a one time thing for now. The RAW crossover stuff is not done with at all. -Kelly Kelly - We see her every week because Vince McMahon loves her and thinks she does a great job. -Kelly has been very vocal about not wanting to go back to OVW, because she's annoyed with the fans asking her about what it's like to be on the main roster now. She also hates all of the attention that she gets down there now. -A lot of people internally are wondering what happened to the Ken Kennedy push. They say that it's possible that "that ship has sailed" in terms of his push. Backstage recently, Kennedy was blaming Super Crazy for the recent match at the SD taping being sub-par (a lot of editing has been done to put it on TV for this Friday's SD show), saying that it was Super Crazy's work that caused the match to be a let down. -Gunner Scott is not popular at OVW anymore at all. When he left in the first place, he had an attitude where he acted like he was above OVW after being brought up to the main roster, and now that he's back down there with that group, he's not really being accepted because of how he acted towards people back when he left to go up to the SD roster.

And with that, I say that it's time to end Jeff Hardy.

I guess we're giving up RVD and Kurt Angle for a month, but we're gaining CM Punk and Test.

Ok, I just finished updating Post Number 239, so check it all out.

I'm going to update the above post as I hear new bits, so check that post.

A few quick bits: -Quite a few other wrestlers were pulled over for speeding in the same area that RVD/Sabu were stopped. -RVD will be gone for 30 days, but he's in line for a huge push on his return next month. -It's been said that RVD and Sabu are taking their punishments like men, and not complaining at all since they know it's their fault. -Sabu's push will continue. -So, obviously, neither men will be fired over this issue, and after this month, they'll be moving forward as if it never happened. -The reason Sabu isn't being suspended is because the drug paraphernalia found on him had not been used, he simply had it. -Vince McMahon loves Sabu so much right now that Sabu doesn't have anything to worried about in terms of getting fired or being de-pushed.

I'll give it a listen really quick...
