- Edge was seen outta nowhere on the titantron wearing the announcers headset in a daze. While the ref was helping Edge out and up the ramp, he was selling a great limp while wearing Jerry Lawlers crown.
- Triple H came in and gave Hardy a handshake and a hug for congrats.
While commentary stated that Rey Mysterio suffered a broken nose last night at Armageddon, Rey is actually fine. The spot came at the end of the match where CM Punk used the "GoToSleep" for the victory, and it looked as if he caught Mysterio right in the nose, and Rey was bloodied up after the match.
Punk was also bleeding from the nose last night after the match, but he is also said to be fine.
The following was submitted by reader Derek Greser regarding an incident his friend was involved in at this past Sunday's Armageddon pay-per-view in Buffalo. WWE Fan Robbed of History By: Derek Greser 11/15/08 This past Sunday at WWE Armageddon 2008, history was made. In a shocking conclusion to the event, Jeff Hardy captured the WWE Championship. This would mark the first time that the high-flying Superstar would capture what is considered to be crown jewel of the sports entertainment business. Any fan of the WWE and/or Jeff Hardy can tell you this has been a long time coming. The event emanated from HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY. The event marked the 2nd ever Pay-Per-View event in the city and venue's history, as well as its first major title change. 29-Year-Old Tom Griffith attended the event, and had front-row seats. Tom has been a 20-year tenaciously loyal fan of the WWE. I know Tom personally and I can say that without question, the WWE is one of the biggest passions in his life. Tom has attended over 25 live events in Buffalo, Toronto, Philadelphia and Rochester. He has purchased countless WWE DVD's and box-sets (many on their release date), video games, memorabilia, clothing, and roughly $7000 dollars on pay-per-view events. Unfortunately for Tom, he was not able to witness history. Prior to the main event, Armageddon featured a mid-card bout between Batista and Randy Orton. Tom, an avid fan of Randy lead his friends in a raucous chorus of boos Batista's entrance. They even dared to direct a naughty hand gesture (The same that mega-star Stone Cold Steve Austin used on television for years) at the 300 plus lb. powerhouse dubbed "The Animal". Batista himself made eye contact with Tom and his friends, and got right in their face before ascending the ring apron. Due to the quality of Tom's seats, this was clearly visible to fans at home as well as in the arena. Tom then received a signal from one of the cameramen working outside the ring. This WWE employee made the "slit the throat" gesture at Tom which universally means "cut it out". Tom nodded, and decided that he had expressed himself enough. Minutes later, approximately 8 imposing looking men dressed in gray suits asked if they could speak with Tom in the aisle. Tom obliged and was then walked out of the arena, concluding in the gray suits tearing his ticket up in front of him. The explanation Tom was given was "The person renting this building tonight has requested you be removed from it". Tom spent the rest of the event outside in the freezing rain waiting for his friends who were still inside to drive him home. In the past, WWE has encouraged their fans to express themselves. Vince McMahon has encouraged fans to bring signs to their support, or anti-support of his performers. This leads to the question; why was Tom removed? He was not involved in an altercation with anyone performing at or attending the event. He was not publically intoxicated. The only possible reason Tom was removed is that the powers-that-be at WWE wanted to protect the image of their Superstar Batista, who is presented as a fan-favorite. The right thing to do here is to refund Tom's ticket price. In the interest of fairness, this should be the very minimum. The best case scenario is to give Tom priority seating at the next WWE event at HSBC to make up for this obvious mistreatment of a great patron and fan. This article will be sent to World Wrestling Entertainment as well as HSBC Arena and Tickets.com. The ball is now the court of these companies. Will any of them step up to right this wrong? I am asking for the support of the Pro-Wrestling community to please let Tom's story be heard. Let's protect the right to express ourselves as fans, and paying customers. - Derek Greser
MATT HARDY COMMENTS ON HIS BROTHER JEFF'S BIG WIN.
Matt Hardy posted the following on his WWE Universe blog regarding his brother's WWE championship win last night: First and foremost, I want to congratulate my brother Jeff-I am SO proud of him for never giving up of never being detoured. Tonight history was made. Jeff and myself, as the Hardy Boyz, are one of the greatest, most legendary tag teams in the professional wrestling business. That can not be denied, regardless of how smart of a fan or critic you are. We broke barriers in Ladder Matches, Tables Matches, TLC Matches, and several other areas. We semi-main evented Wrestlemania, we did everything you could do as a tag team. At the risk of sounding overconfident, for the record, we have sold more merchandise than any tag team in the history of the business. That is a fact. We have the greatest fans in the world-they've made all these things happen. When a great tag team splits, one member usually goes on to be great while the other one struggles. That's not the case with us, nor ever will be. We are the first ever true blood brothers to go on to have extremely successful singles careers and both become World Heavyweight Champions. That has never been done in the WWE. Thanks again to all of our supporters and the people who have stuck with us through thick and thin. And I can promise you this-we're just getting started on our singles success journey. Look at my default picture-a picture say a thousands words-this one is no different. Jeff and I LOVE our diehard supporters, because without them, we would have never made it this far. And there's NO ONE, regardless of how smart or sarcastic they are, that can put a dent in this amazing feat we've achieved. We've came quite a long ways from kids playing wrestlers on a trampoline and wrestling in the Southern Pines National Guard Armory for a couple bucks. We exemplify a living, breathing dream that people can believe in. No one can take away what two little country boys from rural Cameron, North Carolina have accomplished. We wanna thank our Dad on Earth and our Mother in Heaven, I know she's looking down on us with a smile on her face and pride in her soul. We wanna thank everyone who has believed and supported us, you're more important to us than you could ever imagine. We wanna thank the critics and non-believers for driving us, hope you enjoy those negative words as you swallow them. We don't care about star ratings, match reviews, or what people out of our circle think about our "pushes" and careers (That's not a blanket statement directed towards everyone, some peeps "get" what we're doing actually).. We most importantly care about satisfying our casual fans, giving back to the kids that are wrestling fans (which at one time was us), and being examples of success that people can be motivated by. I love my brother more than you'll ever know-and I have NEVER been more proud of him than I am right now. God bless you all, I can't say thank you enough. Dreams do come true-Matt and Jeff Hardy are proof of that. Matt Hardy ECW World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy WWE World Champion
There was a big sports-themed autograph show this past weekend in Secaucus, New Jersey. Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Tammy Sytch, Brutus Beefcake and Tito Santana were among the names in attendance.
COULD THE HULK BE ANYMORE OF A SELL OUT??????
TMZ was chasing Hulk Hogan the entire weekend. Hogan was charging $150 for autographs inside the show, but stopped and took pictures and signed anything that was asked of him in the lobby. Footage of Hogan was aired yesterday on TMZ TV.
Over the weekend, "At the Movies" named The Wrestler the best movie of the year.
DH Smith and TJ Wilson lost their Florida Championship Wrestling tag team titles to Tyler Rex (also known as Gabe Tuft) and James Curtis at this past Thursday's Florida Championship Wrestling television taping, reports FloridaIndies.com. Reiks & Curtis defeated Smith & Wilson in a non-title match as well as a follow-up tag team title match later in the night. This should be a good indication that the two are coming up to the SmackDown roster very soon with their "New Hart Foundation" act, hence the title change. The duo worked a dark match with Natalya as their manager two weeks ago before a SmackDown taping. Smith & Wilson now wear black tights with a pink maple leaf on them. WWE will be in the trio's home country of Canada next Monday for a WWE Supershow featuring that week's Raw & SmackDown tapings.
ON THIS EDITION OF WHO GIVES A FUCK...
ProWrestling.net is reporting that WWE officials have soured on R-Truth, aka Ron Killings. The Truth entered WWE with a series of video packages and a lot of hype, and was met with warm fan response. After seeing the fan reaction, there was even talk within WWE that he could be the next 'chosen one.' However, WWE officials have quickly turned cold on his in-ring performances. His push has been stalled because they feel that his basic wrestling skills are limited.
Word going around is that management feels he should improve in the ring and even though he can hit the flashy spots, he needs to go back and work on the basics.
I THINK HE IS SUCH A POSER
CNN.com has an interview with Raw Superstar Kofi Kingston regarding the SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game. Kingston said it was a career goal to be featured in a video game. "It was one of my career goals to be in a video game," said Kingston. "I personally did not do my own motion capture of my moves, but they did do a body and facial scan." Kingston has been fan of wrestling video games for quite some time, and WrestleMania 2000 is his favorite game of all-time. "I would use the Create-a-Wrestler feature to make myself, and fight through career mode with it," he said.
The name of the new group featuring Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Manu will apparently now be called 'The Legacy'.
Tyson Tomko returned to the WWE at Raw last night in Pittsburgh. Tomko defeated Paul Burchill in a dark match before the televised portion of the show began.
Stephanie McMahon announced on RAW this week that next week all former champions will compete in four matches. The matches announced for next week are Rey Mysterio vs. JBL, Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk, Randy Orton vs. Batista. and Shawn Michaels vs. Kane.
The four winners of those matches will face off a week later in a fatal four way with the winner of that facing Cena for the World Title at the Royal Rumble PPV.
After Raw went off the air tonight, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena defeated Chris Jericho in a street fight.
WWE dropped the case against Ed Leslie for using the "Brutus Beefcake" name. With the Hulk Hogan CCW season ending, WWE decided that it wasn't worth going to court for.
Infrequently seen Raw Superstar Deuce has a new gimmick to go along with a new ring name. Prior to his match with Rey Mysterio on last nights edition of Raw, Deuce got on the mic and revealed his father as Jimmy Snuka, and that he wants to be known by his "real name" of Sim Snuka from this day forward (his real name is James William Reiher, Jr. for anyone wondering). Snuka is the adopted son of the WWE Hall of Famer. The match ended in disqualification after Cody Rhodes and Manu, who were sitting ringside, interfered and attacked Mysterio. Officials had been thinking about repackaging Reiher in a gimmick acknowledging his relation to Jimmy Snuka ever since he was drafted to the Raw brand as a part of the 2008 Supplemental Draft. As you can see, they didn't get to it until nearly six months later. For those wondering, Jimmy Snuka himself was backstage at RAW but was not used. They actually flew him in to the show so plans must have changed because I believe they had planned to use him.
WWE.com has exclusive video of John Cena commenting on retaining his WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Armageddon. You can see the after-show video at WWE.com.
Shawn Michaels will be doing some rare autograph signings after Christmas. The first takes place on December 27 at George's Collectibles, located at 7755 New Falls Road, Levittown, PA from 2 to 4 PM. The second takes place on December 28 at New York Sports World, located at 790 Westfield Sunrise Mall, Massapequa, NY from 1 to 3 PM. That same night, he is scheduled to take on Randy Orton at the Madison Square Garden house show.
Jim Ross is back with another blog, which can be read at JRsBarBQ.com in its entirety. Some highlights: Jeff Hardy's WWE Title Win: "Did Jeff Hardy go from enigma to icon with his WWE Title victory? Felt that way to me." Armageddon Main Event: "The Triple Threat main event (I'm Smackdown biased) was one of the best three-man bouts in the WWE in a long time. Amazing effort by all three men. Innovative and surprising are two words that come to mind when describing it. In all due respect, no other bout on the card could have successfully followed it." Lashley's MMA Debut: "If Bobby Lashley can evolve into a skilled, MMA fighter, a potential match with former WWE alum could be a promoter's dream. There are lots of variables in this equation but 'potentially' this match up could eventually look good from a marketer's perspective. I realize that Brock (Lesnar) is one a much higher level, as we speak, but if Lashley hooks up with the right people no one can deny how good Bobby can potentially become."
For those who may have missed it over the weekend, "Mad Dog" Mike Bell, a Northeastern independent wrestler best known for his enhancement work in WWE and a regular performer during the latter end of ECW's run, passed away Sunday afternoon. He was 37 years old. Bell was heavily featured in the recently released documentary film Bigger, Stronger, Faster. The film, produced by his brother Chris, was a study of anabolic steroids in both sports and the Bell family itself, where two of Chris' brothers (Mike and Mark) use them to further their own careers in professional wrestling (Mike) and bodybuilding (Mark). At the moment, there is no known cause of death, although in the documentary, he had previous health issues that were noted. When the film started getting reviewed, it was reported in the national media that Bell had previously attempted suicide. Bell broke into the wrestling business in the early 1990s, and despite all the years he worked in wrestling, he's probably best remembered by fans for an incident that took place in May 2001 before a Raw television taping. In a match in which he was scheduled to job to former WWE star Perry Saturn, Bell botched an arm drag, dropping Saturn on his head. Saturn appeared to become enraged and legitimately attacked Bell. Saturn threw Bell out of the ring with reckless abandon, then stiffly smacked his head into the metal steps outside the ring. Saturn ended up with a lot of heat over the incident at the time and it was rumored that Saturn's gimmick involving a love affair with a mop was punishment for the attack. WWE used Bell in his enhancement role as late as 2003, but was never signed to a contract by the company.
In recent months there has been speculation on who will play the lead role for the upcoming "Thor" movie, which is scheduled to be released in 2010. Speculation has centered on Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond in the latest "Bond" series of movies, and Triple H. This past week, Craig said he's not interested in taking the role, saying "it doesn't interest me at all." The other potential candidate to take the lead role of Thor is Kevin McKidd, who was in the 2005 "Kingdom of Heaven" movie. Director Kenneth Branagh said today, "There's been lots of talk [about casting] -- I sound like a politician -- but we are too early at this stage. We're getting the story and the visual effects together and all of that is very exciting. Someone sensational is going to play the part but it is early days." It should be interesting to see if Vince McMahon allows Triple H to take time off from the road for several months to work on a non-WWE Studios film.
Rey Mysterio has not signed a new contract as it had been reported. WWE wants to lock him up for five-years, while Mysterio wants to sign a three-year deal. Mysterio wants the out after three years, because if the wrestling scene gets hot again in Mexico he would likely get a good deal, for less guaranteed money, but would have, "upsides that go with being the top guy in a company."
WWE Tag Team champions John Morrison & The Miz & Jack Swagger vs. CM Punk & Kofi Kingston & Ricky Ortiz will headline ECW tonight
