It's the main cover story of the next People magazine. It's not going away at all. Here's the posted excerpt.

Lawler went on to say that he prefers cougars over kittens.

Maybe TNA can be syndicated through the Fox owned and operated broadcast stations, instead of the network as a whole. Previous seasons of the "Stargate" programs air that way in a lot of major TV markets.

How many doctors out there are willing to write such dubious prescriptions? If a local one won't do it, desperate wrestlers will go where they believe they need to go.

I don't understand this story. A jump to MyNet could make sense especially as a complement or replacement for the IFL fighting. TNA just doesn't have the mainstream appeal yet though for a major broadcast network.

Police have seized the Benoit Wiki entry computer. Excerpted from ABC News:

Bye, bye NFL Europa, it's folded.

I doubt anyone at WWE will even make that connection until after this week's Smackdown airing.

With the federal DEA (I just checked) involved in the Benoit doctor raid, it wouldn't surprise me if WWE, its employees and performers all go into lockdown "no comment" mode.

Federal drug agents or state? There's at least the possibility that this could be the start of an investigative road that leads straight back to WWE. UPDATE: Just researched my own answer, it's the feds.

It wouldn't surprise me to see MVP lose, then quickly regain that US title so the question can get a different answer.

One of the PWInsider.com audio recordings mentioned that Benoit was originally booked to win the belt.

The Western Canada tour has been officially postponed for obvious reasons.

WrestlingObserver.com's Alex Marvez will do an online Q&A chat 2:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday at WashingtonPost.com about the Benoit tragedy. Questions can be submitted in advance.

WWE making any more drug/wellness testing announcements would be absolutely pointless. The fed's credibility on that issue is just completely gone. The only solution to this issue I can trust now would be one imposed from the outside.

If this doesn't bring on Congressional hearings into the industry, then nothing will do it.

Survivor (and most reality shows) have always recruited a portion of their contestants for the eye candy and stage presence factors. That doesn't mean that the actual game play is illegitimate, just that not every contestant makes the show cast in the regular way. The recruiting of minority contestants for Survivor is a more recent development, tied to that desire for diversity.

Enemy of my enemy (Trump), something, something I guess.

This could be serious. The Fox-owned MyNetworkTV has been seeking out nontraditional programming (reality & sports) to replace its failed telenovelas. Fox Broadcasting happens to be hq'd in Los Angeles where this meeting will take place. It's hard not to connect the dots here.

Yes, but Raw (unlike Smackdown) has a Spanish language replay via Telemundo. Rey Mysterio could have some value there.

No, RVD should say "Yes, sir" and then do his freakin' job. Part of being a professional wrestler is first and foremost, being a professional. Whatever the heck Sabu did over the past few days doesn't even remotely qualify as such. I trust RVD will hold to a higher standard.

I'd probably go with Kennedy paying off Khali to lay out Taker, Kennedy would then cash in MitB and just make the cover to win the World title. Khali could then be presented as a bigger threat to Cena's WWE title.

http://www.edmontonsun.com/Sports/OtherSpo...879489-sun.html Welcome to Heat Carlito, I hope you will enjoy your stay. Maybe worse. If Carlito doesn't want to get fired, he shouldn't have gone against the company line at WrestleMania time no less. That kind of talk could make Vinnie Mac go ballistic. For that matter, insulting four fellow "sports entertainers" won't win him any friends in the locker room either.

My guess is that Joey Mercury's the designated fall guy to fend off critics over the drugs controversy.

TNA will "find out" Angle isn't taking steroids via its comprehensive drug testing program. Oh, wait. Never mind.
