Enigma

There's a #1 contender Fatal 4-Way match with Batista vs. Mark Henry vs. Finlay vs. Kane. The winner was pretty much given away.

Thanks for spoiling Smackdown, guys. Really appreciate it.

It's gotten to the fucking point where someone always comes into a thread and challenges whether or not it's "thread-worthy". We're getting to the point where the only active topics on the board will be for the TV shows, PPVs, and deaths. Retarded.

Might as well lock this thread, since it's not true.

And here we go with the CTDWAT trolls.

PWI is reporting that Victoria has signed a 3-year contract extension with WWE.

It sure didn't take long for the OMG THIS SO DOESN'T WARRANT A THREAD trolls to pop out.

He's right. That's the kind of bullshit that made Big Show just another worker, taking bumps for everyone.

WWE RELEASES ANOTHER DIVA WWE quietly released Beth Phoenix from her contract early last week. She was told that creative had nothing for her. Behind the scenes, Stephanie McMahon, was never a fan of her. She felt as though that she didn't have the "WWE Diva look" due to her inherit bulkiness. -- Wrestling Observer Newsletter

The first two Victims of Stephanie McMahon and her promotion ended up being Rob Conway and 2 Cold Scorpio, who were released. Scorpio had spent over half a year sitting at home doing nothing, so this was no surprise. Conway was a surprise if only because he's a very good worker who was never given any sort of chance to display that, always had a good attitude, and always looked good. Stephanie felt Conway was a jobber for life and would never draw any money, and wanted to make room for more developmental talents to be called up. Johnny Ace had to be the bad cop (which is his new role, as if he didn't have enough heat already), and made things worse for himself by lying, saying creative couldn't come up with anything for Conway to do. The problem was that creative HAD come up with something for him, a reunited La Resistance on ECW. Conway had JUST received his new gear when Ace told him there were no ideas. Many people in the company were very unhappy with the call since they felt he could have made a great teacher in Louisville. -- Bryan Alvarez/F4W

"Union of People You OUghtta Respect, Shane." It was "Shane," not "son".

I'd love to know where this came from. This is nowhere on PWTorch.com.

I wouldn't put it past Vince Russo to book Rob Van Dam vs. Sabu in a Pot on a Pole match.

Imagine Snitsky when WWE goes HD.

I love how some people are still thinking One Night Stand has any association to ECW anymore. It's just another WWE PPV now.

You're trying to tell me Sabu being fired doesn't warrant a thread? Whatever.

Former ECW World champion Sabu is gone from World Wrestling Entertainment, according to several sources. Sabu arrived hours late for tonight's scheduled Smackdown/ECW taping in Baltimore, Maryland and didn't even have his ring gear with him. I am told he was sent home from the taping and has been/will be released by the company. Sabu, one of the trendsetters of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling, signed with WWE a year ago as part of the re-launched ECW brand. Sabu received a big push early in the brand's run, including challenging ECW champion Big Show at last year's Summerslam PPV before being deemphasized as a focal point. -- PWI

So right now it's: -- Rob Conway -- 2 Cold Scorpio -- Vito Can we expect anymore spring cleaning to prepare for the DivaSearch?

There's already a promo on WWE.Com of Edge stating that the only reason he lost was because he wrestled a match on the Smackdown live event earlier in the day.

Balls Mahoney in HD.

All the titles weren't on the line at Backlash. The point of Night of Champions is every belt being on the line.

I'd love to hear what HHH's idea was for the World Title if he didn't want Edge or Orton to win it with Kennedy unable to win it. Oh wait, that would assume HHH thinks past his own career.

Yes, let's have one of our brightest stars of the future sit at home for no reason. Great plan.

Fantastic news. What a relief.

Holy shit, those retards screaming behind the camera are fucking annoying. "RING THE BAEEELL" Makes me not want to watch the video.
