More WWE Notes: Morgan, Miller, Maven, More

 

Morgan, Miller, Maven, oh my...

 

- WWE management is very high on Matt Morgan due to his look as well as his willingness to learn. Word is that he really wants to be taught and to improve. The general feeling is that he will improve quickly.

 

- WWE still isn't sure how to use Ernest "The Cat" Miller. They understand that he has different skills than the rest of the roster.

 

- Chris Benoit got busted open in his match against Chuck Palumbo at the Albuquerque, NM house show on Sunday and needed a few stitches.

 

- Much of the talent was upset last night with the tiny card in Nashville for RAW. Only about 1000 people paid for tickets.

 

- Maven's official website, MavenHuffman.com, posted the following today:

 

"Dear Maven fans,

 

Maven's mother, Sherma, is currently battling cancer as she has for years. Unfortunately this disease has spread internaly. As a show of strength and will, just as her son shows in the ring, Maven's mother has continued to fight this disease and fight the odds. However, because the disease has spread, the current condition has become critical and Maven's mother is in the hospital as you read this. Due to this, Maven has taken time off from WWE televised and house show events, with the companys blessing, to spend time with his mother in this tough time. We have all learned of Maven's reziliance in the ring and we certainly know that his mother carries the same.

 

Mavenhuffman.com asks for all of your prayers in this tough and difficult time and ask you to send your wishes to Maven. To email Maven, write to [email protected] and send out a prayer tonight for his mother and their family."

I thought Chris Jericho turned face like 3 weeks ago when he pushed Christian.

[CanadianChick 0]

Well, he teamed with Christian this week, so no.

[Guest JMA]

Jericho is a tweener now. He's the first real tweener seen in years.

Well, he hasn't killed Richards yet...

Im assuming that the Smackdown house show crowd in Nashville got 1,000 tickets because RAW was in Memphis.

Willing to learn sounds promising, to me at least.

Eddie Guerrero doesn't count?

[Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist]

That fucking sucks for Maven. Unlike saying it about Morgan, who's only on TV because of his size, Maven has gone out there, and learns everyday, and it fucking sucks that this has happened to him and his mom. Get well soon, I guess

different = non existant

different = non existant

different = sorta dance like James Brown

 

or

 

different = induces crowd apathy

When will be the day when management says that they are very high on Jericho,Eddy,Benoit or RVD instead of being high of Hoss weed??

The Cat wasn't amazing in the ring, but I'd rather see him than Holly.

[notJames 0]

I'd rather see wrestlers on a wrestling show than non-wrestlers. Even if it's Bob "Buttplug" Holly.
