Downhome

And that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is why I am so against that Ken Kennedy posting, as well as the same sort of stuff from guys like Helms, Hardy, and so on. This is a very thin line WWE is walking right now, and it would be best not to produce extra ammunition that could be used against them. I still don't understand how anyone can totally take up for guys on the WWE payroll spouting off their opinions about all of this on their BLOGS AND WEBSITES, and totally discredit any former worker who is taking this opportunity to speak out. Marc Mero has been working since what, 1990? Is it really hard to believe his list? I'd be willing to bet that you could take any number of workers that have been working for as long as Mero and they'd have a list something like that as well. At least he's putting the thought in to actually make the list, and present it to everyone. But, you know, whatever the fuck, it's fine. I just don't get it is all. And let's say that, just in theory, that every single former WWE worker is ONLY speaking out because they're bitter, or they want a few more minutes of exposure, or maybe they even want to make a few quick bucks off of this horrible tragedy. You know what I think of that if true (and I don't believe that for a second)? I simply don't give a shit. No matter the reason behind them coming out, and no matter how scummy some of those reasons could be, I simply don't care. At least it's bringing all of the problems to the mainstream. It's only then, when the media grabs hold of it and sticks with it, that any changes will ever take place. I think everyone can agree that changes do indeed need to take place, and WWE sure isn't going to do anything without some sort of forced push, and the media and the government isn't going to do anything on their own. So if it takes a bunch of greedy, exposure hungry ex-WWE workers to come out like this in order to clean up the wrestling industry and to save some lives, then fine, so be it. As long as they're not spouting off flat out lies, and that would be very easy to check into, then let them go at it.

And what in the world is up with Superstar Billy Grahm? Since all of this started he's been going on these shows totally taking of for Vince McMahon and WWE, but then last night on Nancy Grace he was singing a totally different tune. Not to accuse him or anything, but it was such a change that it felt like a check Vince sent him bounced or something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyFg4IBNdOA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGcOZMibdlk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk1Dt1rCb-s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QoRTKISvdA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPnMP56JkHY Wow, what a true moron Dan Abrams is. He goes on and on about ratings dropping because fans are just really realizing that wrestling is fake, and Mark Mero with the great comeback - "I think what's really turning away fans, is possibly MURDER."

From the Associated Press::

Awesome, Lance Storm is on ESPN right now. Exactly, that's all that I've heard from every single source. Once again, you're exactly right. Right or wrong, it's hard to believe anything that anyone being paid by WWE says, not just now but ever. The only way to clear the air would be for WWE to allow outside individuals to come into the company to investigate their wellness policy, and other such things.

From Meltzer:

I don't see how anyone can not see the stupidity in his posting. It comes off as overly defensive, like he was told to post it, not to mention totally unprofessional by using so many WORDS LIKE THIS. I'm not saying he isn't right, I have no idea. For all I know most of what he said is totally true. This just isn't the way to get the point across. Things like this do more harm to WWE right now than it helps.

That just reeks of him being paid to write all of that, talk about going over the defensive edge. I might be alone here, but he comes off like a huge douche to me.

He really seems to be smaller now? If so, that's great. I just hope that he hasn't damaged himself too bad over the past 10+ years.

It feels really weird that as of right now, or rather as far back as when Eddie died, I can sit here and say with a straight face that it wouldn't shock me to not only see Rey Mysterio pass before someone like Jake Roberts, but also that it wouldn't shock me if Rey was the next one to die because of all of this bullshit.

I think people need to loosen the fuck up. *shrugs*

Well this is quite the Bill O'Reilly bait-and-switch.

And a-wayyyyyyyyyyyyy we go...

From PWInsider:

I don't know if this will be of use for any of you guys, but what the hell. Here is a site with over 300 different themes from ECW, Japan, TNA, WCW, and WWE: Themes

For what it's worth, he still wrestles every now and then at indie shows in Texas. A guy over at WC mentioned that he's worked with him at a few shows, and really enjoyed doing so.

There is a rumor that USA wants WWE to make RAW three hours EVERY WEEK. I'm not sure if this is news or anything, maybe it's old news and it's been mentioned before, but there ya go. No one in WWE wants to do it, and the only way it'll happen is if USA makes them...but that's possible.

That was a great little match there. Stevie Richards is such a great talent. What exactly would be wrong with giving the guy a push?

Good God, big Vis looks like Abdullah the Butcher Version 2.0 now.

From the Associated Press:

I don't think there's much doubt that Jericho is in talks with WWE right now. I liked Cena's reaction to Jericho's response to being asked if he's coming back.

Yep, that's one of the things that made me like the guy the very first time I saw him wrestle. He's been doing that since his very first match. You don't see too much of that sort of thing these days other than in Japan. Over the years they've done a lot of that sort of thing. I've never understood why we don't see more of it in the United States.

So each guy Lashley has defeated for a title, it ended up being their last match in WWE? I'm a bit shocked they have Cena on here like this, since it's just a step or two away from the Benoit situation being mentioned on TV again.

Is WWE actually making an attempt to get Sandman over on RAW?
