WWE has fans as actors sometimes too.

 

For example. Two weeks ago on RAW, Mickie James' brother and his girlfriend, were told to leave the show, by William Regal. You'd have to be real stupid to think that was real. They also did the same with Floyd Mayweather. And other celebrities as well. They even have this sign guy, that wears the same clothes on every brand he shows up. And has these signs saying stuff like,"Buy merchandise at WWEShop.com", or something along those lines.

Oh...

 

Really? Haven't seen that guy yet. They're mind washing me with subliminal messages. *Must... Go... Buy... WWE... Merchandise...*

 

Meh.

 

And of course they also have the occasional celebrity guests, that sometimes stirs up sh*t.

[YourNeighborhoodKiller]

Yup.

 

Here is a picture of John Cena and what he calls himself. "Rick The Signguy".

 

[Capricornus]

Yeah I remember the Sign Guy in WWE. He was also on an episode of "Deal or No Deal" as an contestant, and even Randy Orton and Edge came on there and stirred up trouble lol.

 

I used to watch WSX and I liked it a lot, pretty lame that it was cancelled. Never heard about the whole "send a picture of yourself before buying tickets" and the actor-fans, pretty interesting nonethless. Typical MTV. And yeah, they don't play much music, and if there are I mainly see that "Sucker Free" crap and the Big Ten. Although I do like watching Punk'd and The Real World. But, VH1 parent company is Viacom (or MTV Networks), and IMO they need to leave the reality TV shows on VH1. Even though it stands for "Volume Hits 1", it has a hell of alot more reality TV shows than music shows, so yeah.

 

To anyone anyone who has been watching RAW lately, it seems that Cena isn't in the title run nearly as often as he used to be. Pretty good thing to see.

The "Epic Announcement" was bullsh*t. Saying that it'll affect every RAW viewer. Well it didn't affect me at all.

[T-Cipp]

RAW was just another RAW. The ONS card looks really good, although I'll probably save my free WWE event ticket at the theatre for WM25. I want the $1 million. There was talk of the WWE getting a "Game Show" and giving away money.

 

RAW RESULTS - MAY 26, 2008

TNA iMPACT - Spoiler Results(5/29)

 

 

HHH = Thor No More?, Former WWE Champion to Return, Hogan Family in Car Crash, Night of Champions Plans, More:

 

-- For those who missed it, Vince McMahon announced at the end of RAW this week that there would be a Draft Lottery in four weeks. That would be June 23rd RAW at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.

 

-- Vince also announced that he would be giving away one million dollars out of his pocket every week to fans who tune into RAW. He said he would need a week or so to work out all the details.

 

-- Triple H has some major competition for the lead role in Marvel Comics' upcoming Thor movie. According to some entertainment websites, Brad Pitt is apparently being considered for the lead role. No offer has been made to Pitt yet, but he is high on the list of potential candidates to play the part. Another lead candidate for the role is actor Kevin McKidd of HBO's Rome series. Furthermore, according to the latest issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated, the deal with Triple H and Thor is that Marvel officials are interested in his services, but scheduled director Matthew Vaughn is greatly opposed to the idea of casting him in the movie. Vaughn has informed the studio about his displeasure with possibly using Triple H in the movie.

 

-- On a sad note, last Friday was the 9th anniversary of Owen Hart's tragic fall. Many calls were made to Bret Hart and the rest of the Hart family, but no details have been released.

 

-- Former WWE and ECW Champion, Rob Van Dam, will appear on NWE shows in Spain June 12-15. Van Dam made the announcement on his official website, RobVanDam.com

 

-- Just like last year, WWE plans on trotting out old stars for the pay-per-view formerly known as Vengeance, Night of Champions. WWE plans on bringing back a number of ex-champions for cameo appearances. The theme of having every WWE title defended on the show made it last year, by a small margin, the most successful of all the "B" pay-per-views. The event is set to take place in Dallas on June 29.

 

-- The news continues to get worse for Hulk Hogan as TMZ.com is reporting that Brooke Hogan was involved in a car accident on the Bayside Bridge in Florida today.

 

According to the report, the accident happened around 4 p.m. It was a seven car pileup. Brooke Hogan who was involved in a car wreck on Sunday in Tampa, Florida. According to the police report, a 1997 Toyota lost control while changing lanes, spun into the center lane and struck Brooke Hogan's Mercedes, causing the Mercedes to crash into the concrete lane wall. One of Brooke's friends was in the car's passenger seat. The car that crashed into Brooke was speeding, ironic considering that Nick Hogan's speeding and resulting car crash now has him in jail.

 

Nobody was injured in this wreck, and both Hulk and Linda Hogan were on the scene right after it happened. This is why stories that the entire Hogan family was involved started appearing on the local news websites in Tampa

 

Hogan's white Mercedes was damaged and towed from the scene. Traffic was blocked while troopers investigated, but the road was cleared by 6 p.m.

You can view the video here.

Edge/'Taker/Batista/Orton PPV Notes, New WWE Stable, :

 

-- It's interesting to note that the last time a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match defended on pay-per-view didn't involve either Undertaker, Edge or Batista was at Cyber Sunday 2006 when Booker T defended his belt in a Triple Threat match against Big Show and John Cena.

 

Including next Sunday's One Night Stand event, Edge has been involved in 10 title matches, Undertaker has been involved in 9 title matches, and Batista has been involved in 14 title matches during this span. On the flipside, Batista hasn't had a title match at a pay-per-view since Armageddon. Up until that point, he was involved in 14 consecutive World Heavyweight Championship matches defended on a pay-per-view.

 

Randy Orton's Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Title with Triple H at One Night Stand next Sunday will be the twelfth consecutive pay-per-view event featuring him in the WWE Title match. If you count the two title matches at No Mercy, it will be his thirteenth consecutive WWE Title match at a pay-per-view. Additionally, this will be Orton's sixth pay-per-view title match wrestling Triple H during the same span.

 

-- The One Night Stand PPV card looks like this:

 

Falls Count Anywhere

- Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga

 

Stretcher Match

- Shawn Michaels vs. Batista

 

First Blood Match

- John Cena vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield

 

Last Man Standing Match -- WWE Championship

- Triple H © vs. Randy Orton

 

Singapore Cane Match (#1 Contender For The ECW Championship)

- Big Show vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. John Morrison vs. CM Punk vs. Tommy Dreamer

 

TLC match -- World Heavyweight Championship

- Edge vs. Undertaker

 

-- One idea being thrown around is a heel stable composed of a group of younger WWE wrestlers. Also, they would use an older wrestler or a manager as a mentor. One idea is to make it a second generation stable featuring Ted DiBiase, Jr., Afa, Jr., DH Smith, Cody Rhodes (who would turn heel), and maybe Carlito as the mouthpiece if they don't get a manager. However, it may not be a 100% second generation stable after all, as other names being tossed around include CM Punk and Chris Harris. However, the young wrestlers stable is the basic idea they have in mind.

 

-- The SmackDown writing team has been trying to keep things in a holding pattern during Michael Hayes' absence. Hayes made some storyline plans before his suspension and writer Ed Koskey has been trying to keep them in check by not making any major moves while he's away. Hayes' original plans go through One Night Stand. As far as the Raw writing team is concerned, they are said to be resistant on creating & launching new stars on the program.

3 Major Wrestlers Have 1 Strike Left, Wrestler Served w/ Criminal Summons:

 

Dave Meltzer confirms in the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that former ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero is actually one drug test failure away from an automatic termination from World Wrestling Entertainment, not two. The other two wrestlers in the company in the same uneasy position are of course Jeff Hardy and William Regal.

 

As we all know, Guerrero, along with several other WWE wrestlers were named by Sports Illustrated to be given illegal steroids not in compliance with the company's drug testing policy. Guerrero received somatropin (Growth Hormone), nandrolone (anabolic steroid commonly known as Deca-Durabolin), and anastrozole (the drug used to prevent side effects such as "manboobs" during a steroid cycle) between April 2005 and May 2006 through Signature Pharmacy, an alleged illegal Internet drug distribution network. Because purchasing drugs through the Internet is in direct violation of WWE's Wellness policy, Guerrero was suspended.

 

Unlike the other WWE wrestlers busted in the Signature Pharmacy scandal last fall, they only sat out for 30 days, whereas Guerrero mysteriously sat on the sidelines for just a shade over 60 days. Guerrero was officially suspended on Thursday, August 30 and returned to action on November 3, 2007, which was a Saturday night SmackDown/ECW house show. That was the first scheduled WWE show a wrestler on a 60-day suspension from the August 30th suspensions would have been permitted to appear on. Apparently, Guerrero's first suspension quietly slipped under the radar some time ago and went unreported.

 

Back in July 2006, after a number of SmackDown stars went down with Wellness related issues the week before the Great American Bash pay-per-view, which caused havoc on the card, Vince McMahon made the decision to not pull future suspendees from television because he didn't want sudden suspensions to ruin his heavily-hyped pay-per-view cards. Instead, future suspensions called for wrestlers to miss a month's worth of downside pay, not to mention their pay-per-view bonus. Also, the suspendees would be pulled from all house shows for a 30-day period. The new rule allowed Randy Orton to wrestle Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam, who was suspended in August 2006 for a Wellness Policy violation (he failed for steroids). Last July, WWE reverted the policy to completely ban suspended talent from television as well in light of the aftermath following the Chris Benoit double-murder/suicide.

 

WWE's Gregory Helms was served with a criminal summons ordering him to appear in court on July 8th to answer charges of assault and battery. The charges were brought against the former WWE Cruiserweight champion by Dustin Narron, who was arrested on May 6th following a fight where he punched Helms at the N&N Sports Bar during an argument over a pool table. Helms was not taken into custody at that time.

 

According to local media reports earlier this month, Helms was in the midst of an argument with one of Narron's friends over a pool game when Narron "balled his fist" and struck the former WWE Cruiserweight champion. A scuffle did ensue but was quickly broken up. Narron was released after posting $500 bond. Lt. Keith Powell told the Raleigh News & Observer at the time that Helms was not arrested because he "did not strike back."

[leper73]

WSX was a circus and a joke. Their announce team made Mike Adamle sound like Bobby Heenan. And they had the worst ring announcer ever. Although, did anyone remember if a guy named Li'l Cholo ever appeared for them? He was at an indy show in my hometown last year, and was billed as a former WSX star, but I didn't remember him.

 

Ted DiBiase Jr. debuted tonight. His promo wasn't bad, but I was really disappointed in the look. Just regular nondescript tights. Not even so much as a dollar bill on them. He should have come out in a tux like his old man used to do (BTW, Ted Sr. should seriously start doing that again instead of the regular suit/blazer), or a sweater to re-establish the gimmick.

 

Anyone else think he should refer to his father as Daddy so as to establish him as a spoiled rich kid?

 

Also, Ted Sr. and Dusty had a big feud back in 1990 (which saw Dustin's WWF debut and culminated in Virgil's face turn). If Ted Jr. is going to feud with Cody, they and/or the announcers can't not mention that.

[Werleman1]

Holy Sh*T !

 

LEPER wassup man ?

Dibiase Jr. And Cody has to be class ! If they mess this one up than i'm seriously done with WWE ! Dibiase jr. is probably gonna be used for a month or 2 than be pushed to mid-low card status pffft. sucks balls.

[60 Cent.]

What's up with D.H. Smith? I thought they would put him in the mid-card like Cody, but they're making him into a f*cking jobber. I've never seen him win a match and is used most of the time as "the new wrestler who is used as an example, or used to prove a point, by heel wrestlers, or wrestlers who are getting a push".

[leper73]

He had a Wellness violation like 2 weeks into his debut, and has been paying for it ever since.

[KillerKabel]

So, in that "epic" announcement, he said something about a draft, what is tha? Are they merging the three brands? Sorry, for the nooby question...

 

And what was up with HBK and Y2J's match? Talking about after their match.

It means, every superstar, well at least some. Will be switched to different brands.

 

I thought that was pretty stupid. You have Y2J about to beat the sh*t out of HBK with a steel chair, and then all of a sudden he feels sad and pulls him up.

[60 Cent.]

Well that certainly makes sense. Thanks.

[leper73]

I have a feeling that's not over yet. They want to build up the tension over the next few weeks before Jericho does a full heel turn.

It doesn't seem to me like it's going to work though. Even if he turns heel, the people are still going to love him.

[KillerKabel]

Damn flood control is annoying!

 

I think Jericho was supposed to be upset for Flairs retirement. And that was why he almost beat the shizzle out of Michaels.

 

Anyway, are we not using spoilers in here?

 

So, with the draft, SD! might actually get more good wrestlers?

 

 

I'd like to see Undertaker versus Cena. Don't think that has happened.

Graphic Pictures Of John Graziano's Head Trauma After Wreck

 

Thanks for reader John for sending this in:

 

I've never heard of this website before, but www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com has pictures of John Graziano after the car wreck he had with Nick Hogan. They are very graphic and show the damage done that currently has him placed in a coma.

Nick Hogan is a serious f*cking dumbass. I never liked the kid.

 

No wonder he's jail.

[!!GC!!]

SD!! was very average for me. It didnt have too many great matches.

Undertaker did some serious magic sh*t. Crawling out the bottom of the casket, under the ring to meet Edge on the ladder

Scary stuff.

I actually enjoyed Matt Hardy's match again Elijah though, it just seemed better than others.

 

As well i enjoyed his brother Jeffs match on RAW, it was a well made matchup, unfortunate about the result though.

[KillerKabel]

I think the match quality is getting better?

 

It isn't as boring as it was a couple of weeks ago.

 

 

And yes, 'Takers stunt was pretty lame, and yet, awesome.

 

Can't wait to see ONS tomorrow.

Edited June 1, 2008 by KillerKabel

[Waddy]

Smackdown for me was better than Raw this week. Really enjoyed it.

 

Loved the Undertaker angle and the Batista thing aswell.

Wonder how much the draught will mess it all up now.

[KillerKabel]

And that new Russian guy seems fairly good aswell.

[Waddy]

And that new Russian guy seems fairly good aswell.

Until he comes up against a guy near his size instead of the puniest wrestlers in the WWE.

[!!GC!!]

They shouldn't be putting Vladmir up against guys like Moore, he is obviously going to eat them alive. Like Waddy said, put him against someone like CP, Snitsky, Kane, or someone that could challenge him, even if they aren't on the same brand.

 

What happened to Big Daddy V, havn't seen him sice 'taker put him out in Jan. He should be back by now. Even Edge, who was in the hold for longer than anyone came back after 1 week off. 6 months is ridiculous.

 

Also, when is Rey scheduled to return?

 

 

So, in that "epic" announcement, he said something about a draft, what is tha? Are they merging the three brands? Sorry, for the nooby question...

 

Im pretty sure the epic announcement was that McMahon was going to give away cash money to RAW fans.

Edited June 1, 2008 by !!GameCH33TA!!

[Waddy]

Im not 100% sure but I remember someone saying August or reading it somewhere.

He was out from Feb, so 6 months is August.

 

Anyone watching the PPV later?

About Big Daddt V, I remember reading something which said that the WWE told Big Dady V that he was, officialy, to over weight. So he may be working on losing weight? Don't know.

 

Well, I won't be watching the PPV tonight, but a friend of mines is more than likely going to watch it. I will see what he has to say about it. ONS should be grand like they always are. Maybe not so, withiut RVD and Sabu.

[KillerKabel]

I said in, the announcement, as in during the announcement. In

 

And I know Vlad hasn't been up against anybody "good", but I see big things for him in the future. A real, believable heel.

 

I'm watching ONS tomorrow.

 

About Rey, I thought he was gonna save the boxer against Big Show at WM, so now, I'm completely in the dark.

Maybe right before the draft?

 

Or not, I remember thinking his injury was pretty bad.

[Crokey]

I didn't know there was another PPV on tonight, but then again I've still not caught up with Judgement Day onwards yet.

 

As for Vlad, yes I think he could make a very good heel wrestler, I just wish they'd give him a tune, I know it's a novelty for no music, but I'd of thought the old Soviet National Anthem (or similar sounding tune if copyright prohibits) would be much better.

[60 Cent.]

Yeah they're having PPVs like every 2-3 weeks now. Edge won, so does that mean the Undertaker is gone forever?

 

 

One Night Stand results:

 

 

Cena won. (First Blood)

 

Edge won. (Tables, Ladders, Chairs) (New WHC Champion)

 

HHH won. (Last Man Standing)

 

Batista won. (Stretcher match)

 

Beth Phoenix won. (I Quit match)

 

Big Show won. (Singapore Cane match) (Will face Kane for ECW Title at Night of Champions)

 

Jeff Hardy won. (Falls Count Anywhere)

Edited June 2, 2008 by 60 Cent.

[!!GC!!]

Wow, thats really unexpected. I could've guessed the other results easily, but Undertaker losing? sh*t, he better not be gone.

In fact, i know that he isn't gone because he is coming here, to New Zealand on the 12th of June to participate in a 6-man tag match.

I'll probably be going to it as well. Hell yeah!!

Shall i take a sign about GTAF?

 

EDIT: These are the matches:

Edited June 2, 2008 by !!GameCH33TA!!

[Waddy]

Dont forget the draught coming up so I reckon taker will be shifted to Raw.

 

I just watched the PPV. The results are above.

Did anyone see the Orton HHH match? Orton really hurt himself. Not sure that was supposed to happen, he was in agony and you know thats not how it was meant to end.
