Hunter's Torn Quad

Wanderlei to UFC in December? At least that's what some are reading into that. Not being fluent in Spanish, I couldn't tell for sure.

Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs. Jeff Hardy does drugs. He snorts drugs. Smokes drugs. Ingests drugs. Drugs. He's immature because he could be a main eventer but insted he does drugs. He was sent home because he does drugs. Drugs. Is that clear enough for you? You're saying it was drugs then?

Maybe they asked him to go rehab and he refused. He's done that before. My first impression after reading that was he got caught pulling some sort of really bad or nasty prank/joke on someone.... Some people have a really hard time at reading betwen the lines. Maybe Jeff was busy snorting them.

The Ratings Killer, Randy Orton.

That's actually one of the excuses being given for the rating slide.

Maybe they asked him to go rehab and he refused. He's done that before.

Probably a clean win over Umaga for the IC title now the Jackass deal is scrapped, which would be big considering the only other people to beat Umaga have been Cena and Lashley, and even Lashley's win wasn't totally clean. I think they'd have had him keep the belt for a while before dropping it to someone. Hope he's able to work through his issues and come back clean. He probably will work through his issues and come back clean. Only problem is he'll screw things up again eventually.

I think it was Test. He was a former world tag champion, which I guess makes him a former world champion of sorts.

Hardy screws up more but Orton screws up bigger. It's a question of whether you're judging on frequency of screw ups or the quality of the screw up. Up till now, Orton made the bigger screw ups, but this one really puts Hardy up there.

I'd say Orton, for screwing up at least one world title win, and maybe even a second. Hardy has screwed up more often, but he's never blown a major title win at Wrestlemania.

He'll be happy to take a stab at improving things... It'll take a major overhaul to turn things around.

The real fun begins when his return either only spikes the rating for a week or doesn't even spike it at all. Then the excuses will really come thick and fast.

I think she and Edge had actually stopped being fuck buddies by the time the story broke. According to Lita, she made the decision to leave at the end of her contract because she was sick of the hassle she got after it came out she had cheated on Matt.

Meltzer confirmed it as a 2.5. It's no misprint, folks.

We know which diagnosis WWE are hoping for, but with their luck it'll be the more serious.

I don't think it's a misprint, Tonto.

I think this might have been the time when he had the idea of turning Rock gay. All I remember for sure is he was put in the writing team and his ideas were considered so out of touch that he was removed and made a 'consultant' and sent home/quit all in the space of 24hrs.

If Nakamura is going to get the superpush again, this will be where it starts. If so, he'll beat Chono in the finals rather than Nagata. With Chono having won the G1 five times, beating him in the finals would do more then beating Nagata.

Maybe she'll get them to try and actually bring Russo back. Guaranteed he'll be around longer than the last time he came back.

For the G-1, I'm guessing Tanahashi or Nakamura against Tenzan, Chono or Nagata in the finals. For the GHC tournament, I'm thinking Morishima over Marufuji in the finals with Morishima then beating Misawa for the GHC title.

The most likely reason is probably the most obvious one. I'm assuming whoever changed the thread title has heard something.

True. But given that Jeff was immediately removed from all plans, it would indicate a serious concern to where sending him to a doctor to get checked out seems like an obvious move or Jeff himself volunteering to get checked out. Of course, it's all moot now as it seems like Jeff was sent him for 'undisclosed reasons'. As for Lee, I remember his broken neck as happening a week or two before Barely Legal, hence his role in the PPV being reduced to just hitting Shane Douglas with the chokeslam.

And yet Smackdown has stayed relatively steady. This rating is a disaster on every level.

It's still considered the most likely reason for setting Benoit off. The last thing I'd book for a wrestling show at the moment is an angle where the wife of a top star threatens to leave him and take the kids, regardless of the fact that will likely turn out to be a swerve. Re: Basham, Damaja, etc. Meltzer made a good point in the latest Observer where he likened them to other wrestlers who had the confidence and charisma beaten out of them and they wound up feeling worthless and working below their actual talent level. It happened with a lot of the Mexican wrestlers in WCW; they were treated as glorified jobbers and you had some amazing talents like Psicosis who lost all their heart and passion from being mistreated.

The changes in gimmick to where he reverted back to the Double J persona was down to Jarrett not getting over a lick with what they were doing with him and trying to find a way to get him over. He didn't get over at all really until he Russo gave him the woman beater gimmick, which is when they became tight. Austin was pissed at Jarrett over the 3:16 comments, but that had nothing to do with Jarrett leaving or Austin's refusal to work a program with Jarrett, and neither was Austin wanting Jarrett out of the company. Austin didn't want to work with Jarrett because he felt Jarrett was not over enough for such a program, and it would do more to hurt him than help Jarrett, and because he felt Jarrett was too light with his work. He made the famous comment that he didn't expect Jarrett to treat the match like a UFC fight but to at least let him know he was in there.
