Hunter's Torn Quad

Interesting news on Orton being sent home: From ImpactWrestling.com

Kampmann is out: MMA Weekly

Austin Aries' statement: I wonder if the 'developing circumstances' are TNA telling Aries that if he says anything, he'll get fired.

I think this thread can only begin and end with Chyna. Nobody else comes close to her level.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Vince actually put the title on Khali and have Cena chase him to Summerslam. I think the Cena/Khali program is definitely going beyond JD, so they need to keep it going and I think they'll also want to heat it up somehow, so they'll put the belt on Khali and have him be the giant for Cena to slay after a chase.

Because Jarrett did hold Vince up, just not for money. Sort of. Jarrett's contract had expired the day before the PPV, so Jarrett had no legal obligation at all to show up. Jarrett agreed to show up and put Chyna over, but he wanted all the money his contract called for, PPV money, merchandising, etc, up front. Vince hated that, even though he could have just buried Jarrett as a chicken and a coward, by painting him as too scared to even show up after what Chyna did to him the month before, and paid Jarrett his money on the same timescale as everyone else. For whatever reason, likely because Chyna was getting the big push, Vince agreed to Jarrett's demands and has held it against Jeff ever since, hence the firing on live TV.

From a Raw house show report at WO.com: Not that it would surprise people, but it seems all but confirmed what the Raw JD main event will be.

What the hell was he thinking, is what I want to know.

I hope Rashad does a Sean Salmon to Tito.

If Rampage falls to Chuck, who's next in line, and could they do it?

Fedor by tapout in Round 2.

I change it as and when the next piece of news comes in, so people know it's been posted. I generally copy and paste the headlines from the articles posted, so if they're in all caps it's because that's how it was in the article and I don't feel like re-typing it. It didn't. Not even close.

The Raw main event will be Cena vs. Orton, along with Raw's JD main event being announced to open Raw.

For the potential upside that a UFC fighter beating Mayweather could bring, business would have to come before upsetting the fighters. If White offered Mayweather enough money that he took the fight and Sherk, or whoever, beat Mayweather, then the fighters should realize that however they feel about White paying Mayweather $5m, $10m or whatever amount, the overall gain for everyone else would be worth so much more. Which means he's smart enough to know that in an MMA rules fight, he'd probably get his ass handed to him.

If anyone is going to cost Undertaker the title, it should be someone who can stick around and make use of the heat it'll generate.

Based on booking and hints, it looks like Batista wins the match and the title but then Kennedy takes advantage of a weakened Batista by cashing in his MITB privilege and beating him for the title right away. If that happens, and even if it doesn't, it makes you wonder what the new JD main event will be.

Correct. The trainees, including Carelli, were told to cower away from the Boogeyman and act all scared to sell fear. Carelli didn't do what he was told, started laughing instead, and this, understandably, upset Cornette. That's not to justify what Cornette did, because you can't, but Carelli was expressly told what to do, and he didn't do it.

True. But going to management is the last thing you do not the first. If Carelli had at least tried to sort things out with Cornette face to face, I would have at least understood him going straight to Johnny Ace, because he might have felt like he couldn't straighten things out with Cornette. But he went straight to management instead of trying to sort things out with Cornette man to man. That makes him a pussy.
