"If I Owned the World Wrestling Federation"
Discussion 14
Disclaimer: Â I own nothing. Â Suing me would get you nothing, so what's the point?
Well, it's Sunday night and I haven't had anything of interest to say since last Monday. Â I doubt if that interested too many people anyway! Â At any rate, I'm just gonna ramble a little bit about things I've heard and seen this past week. Â
First off, on Velocity, they showed highlights from Smackdown (which I don't get to watch). Â Got to see Taker put up his title against Randy Orton. Â Decent match, Taker prevailed of course. Â He attempted to do to Randy what he did to Dreamer last week on Raw. Â Trips came down in all his big nosed glory and attacked Taker from behind. Â He demanded a title shot, saying he was worthy of such a shot. Â Taker left, without saying anything. Â Later on, during Trips' match with Test, Taker came down and attacked Trips. Test won the match and Taker took care of Big Shnoz. Â He hit him a few times then hit with a huge chokeslam. Â Taker got the chair and hit him a few times with it before leaving. Â It was great watching him beat the hell out of that stupid ass Trips.
On the gossip front, things are sort of quiet right now. Â Bill Goldberg probably won't sign with the NWA now because Scott Hall, who he hates, was just signed there. Â Goldberg has said that he will talk only if Vince McMahon himself calls him. Â So far, Vinnie Mac has yet to place that call. Â Who cares though? Â Goldberg badmouthed the WWF after WCW folded and now he wants the WWF to beg him to be on their show? Â Whatever!
Maven broke his leg during the Smackdown taping last Tuesday in a match against Christian. Â Maven got a kiss from Torrie, and Tajiri saw backstage and interfered. Â He kicked Maven off the top rope. Â Maven got up and continued the match and broke his fibula attempting to do a baseball slide. He is expected to only miss 4-6 weeks.
There is some talk that the nWo will be turning face. Â With the possible resurrection of the Four Horseman, I guess it would make sense, though I don't care either way. Â The nWo just isn't the same without Hall. Â Yea, I'm like the only fool on the planet with anything nice to say about Scott Hall. Â
Ok, King of the Ring is coming up and we already know that Taker will put up his title against the Nose of the North, Triple H. Â There is talk that Taker will successfully defend the title since his cocky attitude is fresh. Â After just one month runs by Trips and Hogan, they say the title needs stability. Â And who better to hang on to it for a while than Big Evil? Â He's the one who's been there day in and out for 12 years and I think he deserves it, since it is his last run as Champion after all. Â We'll just have to wait and see on this one. Â If he loses, I just wish it was to someone a little more deserving than Trips. Â How bout Stoney? Â hehe
The Tough Enough2 champions were crowned and I was very disappointed that Jake didn't walk away with a contract. Linda and Jackie (?) were the champs. Â I don't like Jackie, I didn't from the beginning, but...
Edge knocked his shoulder out of socket during the cage match on Smackdown taped Tuesday. Pain set in which led to Edge seeing the Toronto Maple Leafs' team doctor who reset the dislocated shoulder. An MRI revealed a torn labrum that will probably require surgery. Edge is expected to miss some ring time, if at least, reduce his in-ring activities until after rehabilitation or surgery.
Mark Henry is concentrating on becoming the World's Strongest Man again and won't be back in the ring much till the competition is over. Â Expect to see him more after all is said and done. Â
Jerry "The King" Lawler has written an autobiography. Â Fans should see it in the stands in December. Â Hogan's will be out in October. Â
Rey Mysterio, JR will be making his Smackdown debut sometime very soon. Â He's been training hard and working in OVW. Â
Taker continues to have problems with his hip and lower back due to his SI joint injury sustained at "Jugdment Day". Â He has been given the option to rest and not work quite as much, but he's has refused and is paying the price. Â It's a nagging injury that has plagued him throughout his career. Â The match with Randy Orton on Smackdown appeared to nearly kill him. Â He's in very obvious pain and I wish I could pat him on the back for being such a big man and working through it. Â
Jeff Hardy will be taking about a month off since he's been working nearly 7 days a week. Â He will rest and build up his strength and hopefully be less burned out when he returns. Â So that means we get a month long break from that silly dancing or whatever it is he does. Â Hey, that opens up like 30 more minutes on Raw now! Â
An incident took place backstage at last night's USA Wrestling show in Nashville, it involved Jim Cornette and Ed Ferrara, and was not an angle. Ed Ferrera went to shake Jim Cornette's hand, then in return Cornette started telling him off. Jim told off Ferrera for insulting his good friend Jim Ross, by mocking Ross on both WWF and WCW television. Cornette spat in Ed Ferrera's face, before things almost got out of hand and had to be broken up backstage. Ferrera asked "What was that for?", and Jim made it clear that it was for JR. Â (Cain, Ryan).
Davey Boy Smith's life was chronicled on WWE Confidential with Mean Gene Okerlund. Â There was commentary from his widow, Diana Hart Smith, the man who discovered him, Bruce Hart, The Brooklyn Brawler, William Regal, and The Undertaker. Â
They all said how Davey was such a talented athlete and how he liked to have fun. Â Taker said he remembered Davey would steal towels from his gym bag just to be funny. Â He said that he would remember Davey as a phenomenal athlete and a fun guy to be around. Â He said that Davey will go down as one of the greats. Â
On that note, I'm going to end for tonight. Â Raw results will be up tomorrow. Â Till then, be safe and take care.
LONG LIVE THE DEADMAN!
