Right, so I've been away for more than 2 weeks to Germany, and when I was visiting wwe.com I noticed Johnny Nitro is now John Morrison, what's up with that? I thought the Nitro name was fine.

They thought it was too gimmicky and mid-carderish so they renamed him John Morrison because Nitro looks a lot like Jim Morrison of The Doors.

 

Now all they have to do is rename his finisher "The Moonlight Drive".

And that is less gimmicky?

The important thing is that its a reference to popular culture that Vince is actually aware of.

 

You sure it's supposed to be a "Doors" reference, and not just an in joke towards J.J. Dillon?

Does anyone else get a Raven-ish vibe from Morrison/Nitro now? I'm wondering if it's their attempt to create a Raven-like heel in ECW. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start leading a band of heels. Too bad his promos still suck, though.

 

William Regal is one of the most bizarrely underutilized wrestlers in WWE's recent history. Sometimes he is super over with the crowd, but they don't do anything with him. Is he on Triple H's bad side or something?

He's actually good friends with HHH. I was discussing with my friends that I thought Regal deserved a run with the Smackdown World Title a few months back. He pretty much agreed his last chance to get a big push was that very short run with HHH when he was paired with Eugene.

Yeah, Morrison comes off as somewhat of a Raven rip-off to me as well, only he's less charismatic, and his promos seem forced.

I'm getting the same vibe, but I don't think Raven is on the mind of anyone in WWE.

I don't know if I'd compare him to Raven, but he's trying to do that whole Zen surfer/rocker type deal it seems. I think the promo's only sound forced because that's not his style...I thought he was fine as the cocky party boy heel.

 

Oh, and RepoMan, I held the title of Resident Kelly Clarkson mark for quite some time now, lol.

Going down under

 

By Elijah Burke

 

Written: August 6, 2007

 

 

“Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” — Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, 1939

 

Your Paragon Of Virtue has successfully returned from touring Thailand, Singapore and Australia. It’s no secret that even the world down under needs YOUR Guiding Light to shine his light upon such a dark nation. I mean, you know me; I’m always on the move to expand my global congregation that is the New Breed!

 

Speaking of which, when it comes to My New Breed, I will admit, we’ve had our share of weirdoes, which includes an ex-teacher who has no sense of fashion, a guy who thinks he’s a vampire, another whose animal instinct gets the best of him at times, and even a tattooed PUNK named Charles Montgomery, but never have I seen folks any stranger than the ones down under in Australia! There’s one in particular that comes to mind so allow YOUR Host of Hosts to take you on a quick journey:

 

It’s two hours before show time in Perth, Australia, and there are hundreds of fans gathered outside, waiting to get a glimpse of yours truly. However, I really need to get to the gym. So I take my trusty hand towel, throw it over my head, and with two security escorts, head through the massive crowd to get to the gym, which is adjacent to the hotel’s parking garage. Once inside the gym, I have about an hour to workout. Security (Australia’s version of Men In Black) guards the door for any suspecting fans that may be trying to sneak in. Then, it happened. Out of nowhere comes this kid who is about 18 years old, about 6-foot-2, 85 pounds soaking wet, and gets on a treadmill next to me. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to see that this kid had no intentions of working out. I mean, Stevie Wonder could clearly see that this kid has never trained a day in his life. Now, do I have a problem with that? Of course not! However, my problem was that the kid, who looked like a rocker, was wearing a KISS shirt and um, no pants. That’s right, the kid was in this gym wearing only his white (dingy, might I add) BVDs! WTH? How did this happen? So, of course, the kid starts telling me how great I am, and how I should be the ECW Champion. “Thanks,” I said. “But how did you get in here?” This is the funny part: “Oh, I’m staying here at the hotel and I tried to come in when I saw you, but they wouldn’t let me in because I was wearing leather pants and no workout clothes, so I took my leather pants off so I’ll be allowed in the gym.” Are you kidding me? I felt like running straight up to the front desk and hitting someone with the Elijah Express.

 

Do I blame the kid? Nah. He seized the moment, even though I would’ve liked to work out in peace. I do remember him telling me that he wants to be a rock star, and currently plays in a local band. My advice to him: Cut your hair (it looked like a mop in a night club’s restroom), hit the gym when there aren’t any famous people around, get a tan (the kid was whiter than my teeth), keep your pants on, and for crying out loud, GO TAKE A SHOWER… multiple showers! The kid smelled so bad my eyes started burning! He smelled worse than Balls Mahoney on a city bus in 120-degree Arizona weather without any working air conditioning. Just gawd awful!

 

Well, being that I took up a considerable amount of space, I’ll include only one question this week for Face 2 Face. I chose this certain question(s) because I know a lot of you are curious about my “Redneck Brother” Gary and his Bullfrog CM Punk. Well, here’s Gary, in his own words:

 

My Redneck Brother Gary writes: Hey Elijah, I just wanted to update you on my toad (CM Punk). He is getting a big head, but he is still green behind his ears. He has some really weird markings on him; I actually think one of them looks like a Pepsi symbol? I also noticed that his knees are really sticking up high, so my question is, why are CM Punk’s knees always kicking you in the face? I would think after the third time, you would just stomp on the toad and continue on with your pursuit to become the ECW Champion! Thank You, Your redneck brother, Red

 

P.S. By the way, yes I know how to use spell cheek!

 

ECWHOH writes: LOL. You know how to use spell cheek? Lol, ya gotta love a true redneck!

Idol Stevens is gone. For those of you who don't remember who he was, which is probably all of you, he was one of the 'Teachers Pet's, the unofficial name of the tag team Michelle McCool managed some time back.

I don't know if this has been asked or answered, but, why is Donald Trump's picture slabbed with a sticker everywhere the DVD is listed for sale. From wwe.com to all the WWE magazine ads for the DVD? Was this a fallout from Roots Genoa? Did he quietly request to not be affilated with the WWE after that incident, or heaven forbid, was it royalties that made the WWE cover him up?

I wonder if WWE owns the Idol Stevens name or if that's his real name. What a cool fuckin name that can go to someone else.

 

His real name is Aaron Stevens but he has been using Idol Stevens since I first saw him on an indy show back in 02/03ish.

 

 

New England based indy wrestlers haven't fared too well in the WWE in recent years (Palmer Cannon, The Heartthrobs , the aforementioned Idol Stevens) but we did have Scotty 2 Hotty, who had an inexplicably long run in WWE!

Meltzer actually mentions this in this weeks Observer. Apparently part of Trumps agreement to do the show was that while they can use him for all the promotion prior to the show, after the show, he couldn't be used for any type of promotion at all. It's just a thing where he doesn't want to be associated with Wrestling for the rest of his life.

Am I the only one who has caught this? I e-mailed the WWE about it but they haven't take it down.

http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/toddgrisham/videos1/

Why would you email them about this, seriously?

 

I was told a long time ago that the WWF would give discounts to Shopzone if there were any errors on the websites.

 

1. Error

2.?????

3. Profit

- 19 year old singer Kat DeLuna will be at SummerSlam performing three songs "during the pre-event proceedings for the pay-per-view" according to a story by Reuters which was published by Yahoo! Xtra Entertainment yesterday.

DeLuna's song 'Whine Up' has been chosen by WWE as the official theme song for SummerSlam. The song is part of her new album which is out on Tuesday called '9 Lives.' (thanks to Colin Vassallo)

 

- Bobby Lashley is on the cover of the brand new issue of Flex Magazine.

 

- Kane is supporting libertarian presidental candidate Ron Paul.

 

- The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young have been booked for Summerslam.

After watching the Dating Game segment, Santino is great as a heel. I think when Lashley comes back he should also be a heel too. Just make it a storyline where Lashley turned his protege into a heel so he comes back as one too.

 

I think Lashley, Santino, Orton, Carlito, Cena would be good heels.

 

Problem is, on the face side we only have: HHH and HBK when he comes back with Umaga and Jeff Hardy right underneath them.

 

At least the heel side would be good on Raw.
