Disclaimer: Don't own them, wish I owned Mark Calaway for the night.
Ok, I had to take a few days off to deal with some family stuff, but I'm back and I've got some gossip for you guys, going back to last Monday's Raw.
Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) suffered a hip injury during his match with Hulk Hogan at "Judgment Day". Seems that when Hogan suplexed him off the top rope, his hip dislocated. He managed to wrestle through the pain and as you all know, won the title. The next night on Raw, he re-injured his hip or sciatic nerve in the opening segment with RVD. Trainers backstage told Calaway that he shouldn't wrestle that night or for the next couple of weeks, but you see how well he listened.
Steve Williams, the charismatic portrayer of Stone Cold, isn't happy with the way the WWF (E, whatever) has been behaving lately. He has said that he wants more screen time with Eddie Guerrero because he feels like Eddie is the best athlete on the Raw roster right now.
John Layfield (Bradshaw) isn't a happy camper right now. Top execs felt that if they pushed Bradshaw into the limelight by pairing him with Stone Cold, it would help boost his career. Seeing as how that didn't happen, they have decided to slow him down for a bit. So, don't expect to see too much of Bradshaw in the coming weeks. That's a shame there. He's one superstar I actually like!
The rumor mill is abuzz after the now infamous plane incident involving Curt Hennig and Brock Lesnar. Hennig allegedly talked some trash to the rookie and Lesnar retaliated by tackling him in the middle of the aisle and applying some sort of wrestling move that made them hit the door. Hennig was released after the incident, much to the surprise of the guys backstage. He has always had a habit of ribbing people and breaking in rookies. There is a little bit of talk that Lesnar himself might be on the way out. Time will tell the tale with that one.
For those of you who watched the PPV last Sunday, I'm sure you haven't forgotten Chris Jericho assaulting referee Tim White. White did suffer fairly severe injuries, a few fractured bones in his face and a separated shoulder.
On Smackdown, Hogan did announce his retirement, but Vince had to ruin my happy moment by coming down there and telling him there was no chance in hell of Hogan walking out on him again. Big Evil, as The Undertaker is calling himself now, came down after Hogan attacked Vince and beat the hell out of him momentarily. Vince insisted that Hulkamania would die on his terms, not Hogan's.
Let's talk about Scott Hall for a minute. The man used to be my number two favorite wrestler in the WWF. I loved his Razor Ramon angle. It's a shame that he couldn't control his drinking then and evidently can't now. He was released from the WWF two weeks ago after showing up to Raw drunker than hell. It was the last straw, and I doubt he will ever wrestle again.
Remember the night Taker drug Hogan around the arena by his own bike? Seems that the guys backstage thought that was one of most hilarious sights they had ever seen. Nearly everyone in the backstage area was gathered around monitors laughing hysterically at the picture Hogan made. No doubt about that one. I nearly died laughing that night myself!
Speaking of The Undertaker again, Jim Ross basically said that Mark injured his SI joint and lower back, which is something similar he went through a few months ago. Mark has vowed to work through any pain and discomfort. Ironically enough, I too have problems with my SI joint and it flared up tonight while I was at work. For the last 5 hours, I have felt what it's like to be in Mark Calaway's shoes, so I would basically like to say is this. The next time somebody says something horrible about The Undertaker, keep in mind that he's hurting..
Here comes the injury report. The Undertaker and his back is just one of many. Spike Dudley hurt his neck in his match last Monday, but has been cleared by doctors to continue working. Hurricane Helms hurt his shoulder a bit when he landed awkwardly on it, but said it has happened before, so he will be ok. Triple H has re-injured his knee. The small fracture in his knee cap has re-opened. Doctors say he can work as long as he can tolerate the pain. The Rock underwent an MRI on his knee and found that he has torn his PCL and requires therapy for the next few weeks. If surgery were to take place, he'd be out for several months. Edge has a bruised fibula, but will be able to continue working. Hulk Hogan, though suffering from back pain, will continue to work as well. Kane continues therapy on his injured bicep, and underwent successful surgery April 16. He should return in three to four months. Get well soon Kane! We miss you!
Chris Benoit will be soon taking hits in the ring again. His surgeon, Dr. Lloyd Youngblood has told Chris that he will be able to wrestle full time by the end of June. I look forward to seeing him back in the ring. Pound for pound, he's one tough bastard.
Moving on to our Olympic bald Angle. Kurt says he's going to participate in the 2004 Olympics. He says he's not too old, and that he feels good, almost like he's peaking. He will start training in December, which is in his contract. He also announced that he and his wife will be having their first child in December. Congrats to the Angle family. (
Anyway, that's enough for tonight! I'll get back on here tomorrow and finish. Till then, take it easy.
LONG LIVE THE DEADMAN!
