Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted June 21, 2003 Brock Lesnar is expected to miss the weekend Smackdown house shows due to his leg injury which was suffered in a boating accident this week (as reported earlier). The Smackdown house shows will now likely be headlined by Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, & The Big Show. At this point, Brock Lesnar IS expected to work the Smackdown taping in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. He is scheduled to be part of the main event, which will be a six man tag pitting him, Kurt Angle, and Mr. America against Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, and the Big Show.

He tried to contact WWE officials but didn’t get to one until appearing injured at the airport and was sent home. Al Show went on in his place. The Basham Brothers are considered to be decent in ring workers, but are thought of to be too bland right now, both by wrestlers and management. credit: Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter After the so-called disappointing first three months of Bill Goldberg's WWE tenure, his push and character are going to undergo a change. In a recent taping of "Off The Record", Jim Ross noted that Goldberg would now be presented as an "animal" that fights a lot and talks very little. credit: wrestlingobserver.com Kurt Angle's first match back on Smackdown this week against Charlie Haas went well. He did not feel any pain after the contest. Credit: 1wrestling.com Statement from Steve Corino First before I start I want to thank the web sites that have posted this statement from me. Most of you have probably read that I was arrested recently on charges of forgery and fraud in suburban Philadelphia. This is true. As reported correctly I was arrested in Detroit, Michigan on charges that I forged a $2100 check and used a credit card of an ex-girlfriend of mine without her knowledge. This ex-girlfriend claimed I used her credit card 25 times without her knowledge. I want to go on public record and tell the world that I at no time was ever involved in any illegal activity and I am looking forward to proving my 100% innocence in a court of law. It is a shame that this has happened and I am also looking forward to the truth coming out in this matter as soon as possible. I apologize to my family, friends, and fans that they have to read negative things about me in the newspaper and Internet. The real truth of this situation will come out in court and I am confident that I will be found innocent of all charges. A great thing we have here in America is "innocent until proven guilty" and I ask all my family, friends, and fans to keep that in mind when reading about this case. I have not done anything illegal and will prove that in court. As you have probably figured out this is the reason I was not in attendance at the Ring Of Honor show on Saturday, June 14. I apologize to Rob Feinstien, Gabe Sopolasky, Donavon Morgan, Christopher Daniels, Danny Maff, Samoa Joe, CW Anderson, the rest of the boys, and mostly the fans for not being able to attend. I will continue to wrestle and will be in court on Monday to ask the judge for clearance to return to Japan for ZERO-ONE, which I am confident he will allow. Thank you to everyone in my family and friends that have supported me and helped me in the last 19 days as this nightmare has unfolded. You truly realize who your friends are when something horrible happens to you. In closing I want to thank the fans for their support already in this matter. Please realize that I am not a criminal, never will be, and I appreciate all the support you guys are giving me through this hard time. Sincerely, Steve Corino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't you ever been to a "lesser" new site, where there's a link to the author's site at the bottom? There's always some silly news or rumour to get you to click, and then on the site there's no mention of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Downhome Report post Posted June 21, 2003 Let's just get to discussing the fucking news, mmmmk? Brock Lesnar is expected to miss the weekend Smackdown house shows due to his leg injury which was suffered in a boating accident this week (as reported earlier). The Smackdown house shows will now likely be headlined by Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, & The Big Show. At this point, Brock Lesnar IS expected to work the Smackdown taping in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. He is scheduled to be part of the main event, which will be a six man tag pitting him, Kurt Angle, and Mr. America against Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, and the Big Show. Chris Benoit seems to possibly be getting a push once again, what with his defeating Rhyno perfectly fairly and now teaming with Angle on some house shows. That's good news to me, heh. Smackdown finished with a 3.2 rating and a 5.7 share, down from a 3.7 last week. Part of the drop can be attributed to the show being pre-empted in Los Angeles. Blah, same ol' news. Steven Richards was originally booked to face Maven on the Insurrextion PPV, but had a neck flareup. He tried to contact WWE officials but didn’t get to one until appearing injured at the airport and was sent home. Al Show went on in his place. The Basham Brothers are considered to be decent in ring workers, but are thought of to be too bland right now, both by wrestlers and management. Ummmm, ok? The Basham Brothers do seem to be a bit bland right now, but I have a feeling they'l contine to evolve. Well, at least I hope so. After the so-called disappointing first three months of Bill Goldberg's WWE tenure, his push and character are going to undergo a change. In a recent taping of "Off The Record", Jim Ross noted that Goldberg would now be presented as an "animal" that fights a lot and talks very little. IT'S ABOUT TIME! It's what Goldberg is, it's what people loved him for, and I can't wait to see this continue. I still say that he'll continue to get more and more over with WWE's fans, it's just a matter of time. Kurt Angle's first match back on Smackdown this week against Charlie Haas went well. He did not feel any pain after the contest. Thank God, that's great news. I really saw something special in Charlie for the first time in that match, I felt it was a very good match between the two guys. I actually want to see them go at it a few more times.

Please realize that I am not a criminal, never will be, and I appreciate all the support you guys are giving me through this hard time. Sincerely, Steve Corino I obviously don't know him, but I would like to say that I didn't even believe this when I first heard about it. I really hope that he can be cleared of this, because quite frankly, it would really ill me if it comes out that it is true. I'll believe him for now, I have no reason not to.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted June 21, 2003 Am I the only one that clicked on it for the title "Various WWE newsbits"? No, friend. "After the so-called disappointing first three months of Bill Goldberg's WWE tenure, his push and character are going to undergo a change.

It's what Goldberg is, it's what people loved him for, and I can't wait to see this continue. I still say that he'll continue to get more and more over with WWE's fans, it's just a matter of time. There isn't a single reason they couldn't just start over with the same gimmick on one of their own workers with a smaller ego who'd work for far less. Maybe Goldberg will get over by destroying everybody, no-selling everything, no talking and not having anyone he fueds with get the upper hand on him ever? Gee, maybe this *great* investment they made will pay off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So THAT's why the fans turned on him at the drop of a hat. When he was making the top non-Evilution heels (Rock, Jericho, Christian-but his situation was acceptable) look worthless and inept, he wasn't growling and making enough funny faces.
