News You Can (barely) Use

I just read on Gerweck WWE is considering airing Friday Night Smackdown live on the eve of PPV's.

 

 

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

So they'd be moving it to Saturday before a PPV?

[haVoc 0]

I should have worded it better. It will be live on the Friday before the PPV.

I really miss the live "intro" shows for PPV's. Would it be that difficult to get Sci-Fi to hold off another airing of The Twilight Zone on Sunday nights at 7:30?

I don't. It was just useless hype with a filler B-match. No big loss.

I don't know...Stone Cold vs. Yokozuna did sniff 4 stars.

Do you mean Sunday Night Heat or Free for All? When I had cheap cable, Sunday Night Heat would run during the PPV in the west coast and I couldn't see it. I miss the Free for All.

[King Cucaracha 0]

In '99 the pre-shows used to have plenty happening. Of course, that was back when Heat meant something. And it was usually a last minute announcement of making the main-event a No Holds Barred Match or something. But, still. And the early 90s Todd Pettingill countdown shows were pointless fun.

 

Considering dark matches have gone from the likes Paul London vs. Mark Jindrak to Jeff Hardy vs. MVP, they could probably do worse than televising it.

WWE.Com is reporting that Trevor Murdoch has been released from WWE.

I bet he's singing the blues.

 

Too soon?

WWE.Com is reporting that Trevor Murdoch has been released from WWE.

 

There will have to be more to this story. Hayes was said to be a big fan of Murdoch and requested him over to SD! at the recent draft. Also he was Harley Race's top student, and Race once put him over saying he and CM Punk were the future of the business. Race is held in high regard by the wwe.

I was thinking the same thing, TCD. Quite unusual... I'm not going to make crazy statements about Trevor perhaps knowing more about 6/24 then he's let on, but something is definitely amiss.

 

Odd note #2: WO/F4W lists his name was "Bill Mueller" - this is the first I've seen of this, his real name is usually cited as Trevor Stanley Rhodes.

What's this all about, what happened on 6/24? My brain is dead tonight.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I was being inappropriately silly, just ignore it.

[Obi Chris Kenobi 0]

Was it a Benoit reference?

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Yes. It also doubled as a reference to days gone by where people would "use dates and shit" to reference a match instead of the participants involved. Also, 9/11.

Shit Benoit and Murdoch were behind 9/11?

[DerangedHermit 0]

Yes. It also doubled as a reference to days gone by where people would "use dates and shit" to reference a match instead of the participants involved. Also, 9/11.

No, Hogan was.

Well, he's the first casualty to the "Draft Curse" for this year.

I saw Hayes molding Murdoch into a redneck shitkicker bully type, a la Terry Gordy, on Smackdown. I think he would have excelled in the role if given the chance and the right opponents to pit himself against.

Agreed. I have always wished they would have done something more with Murdoch because he definitely has one of the more "unique" looks in wrestling. If they weren't a comedy act, he could have made a nice addition with Jesse and Festus.

That sucks to hear. I never understood why WWE broke up Cade / Murdoch to begin with. They were one of the best (and very few) tag teams they actually had. And the kayfabe reason was even worse! Lance broke up with Trevor because Trevor liked to sing?!! And they were still winning matches at the time of their break-up, WTF?

[The Truthiness 0]

I think they were on a losing streak when Trevor 1st started singing. Then the week after that they snapped their losing streak, Cade asked Murdoch to sing a victory song. Murdoch started singing, Cade than caught him with probably the best punch this year.

That's really more you confirming PWI's report by posting the source PWI got their report from. But that's just semantics.

So.. being a single mom, how does she take care of her kid if she doesn't have a job?

 

Also - do the "diva's" even do house shows? I more or less thought they were just for TV..

They are usually just there to kill a bit of time during house shows. Usually throwing free shit out after they come back from the intermission

[The Amazing Rando 0]

I like how everyone seemed to be saying that Trevor was going to be the big break-out star of that tag team and now suddenly it has become the exact opposite. Both had potential, but we might not have all the story on why Murdoch got the boot.

Someone like Ashley can find work. Getting a job isn't difficult. The Divas have a schedule just like the other performers although that changes when they do shoots and publicity spots.
