There's an interview floating around with Kevin Nash where he calls out TNA's biggest problem (no one knowing they exist), mentioning that he gets approached and recognized in airports with "When's the last time you wrestled?".

Yeah, there have been a bunch of stories like that for other well-known TNA guys - a similar thing happened to Christian at a baseball game, and Sting's also been asked when he's coming back to wrestling.

Jeff Hardy was apparently detained at Nashville Airport today. Any guesses on how soon his release might be?

Friday.

WWE will stammer on it, and think through things - showing their reluctance to follow through with what they said they would do. But they'll ultimately drop him.

Way to have MVP and THEE Brian Kendrick put over your latest drug abuser! Way to think things through WWE! Give 'em another chance! And another! And another!

And another! Keep burying the new guys!

RVD's new theme is comprised entirely of "ROB VAN DAM - THE WHOLE FUCKING SHOW" as its lyrics, with RVD syncing up his movements to it pretty well AND debuting a new singlet. RVD, of course, wins this three way dance, since he's the biggest star in it by a wide margin. The Predator (Sylvester Terkay) vs. Bobby Lashley - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TWPQTCK8 I haven't seen the Predator gimmick in action before, but after reading about Terkay doing a good Brody impression...yup, it's perfectly fine. He's better with the whole "scare the crowd" thing than other Brody imitations like Nord the Barbarian (who looked the part more), and he, like Brody, has a fine knock-off of "Immigrant Song". The match itself is no great shakes, but Lashley looked solid, and the match finished with a repeat of his most famous match's finish - the duck-under, rope-rebound spear. Tank Abbott vs. Josh Barnett - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TKA8E8P0 Downloading this match brought up "CRP" as the download code...that doesn't bode well. Or maybe it does. Perhaps Tank will dance and sing. Not IGF, but still pretty damned random and goofy matchup - Ron Simmons and Nailz vs. Keiji Muto and Hiroshi Hase http://rapidshare.com/files/14448408..._Hase.mp4.html Solie and Humperdink mocking "Doc Nelson" for his name, then spending a minute debating what kind of Doctor he is, with Solie saying vets call him an MD and MDs calling him a vet, leading to Dink saying that he could be a doctor of philosophy was fantastic. Both Solie and Dink pronouncing Hase's name as "Hasee" was a bit annoying. Solie stating that Nelson's too stupid to fell pain and that he had a "zombie-like approach" and "that punch didn't look very effective..." after a bad double sledge, and "I think he might be tired" after he huffed and buffed after a whopping two minutes of ring time, then stating that he moved in "absolute slow motion" ruled. Not a great match, but a fun one to watch, and Simmons actually shined quite well in it, doing a variety of headbutts that I don't remember him doing.

Thank you sir.

And to think, he may have had a legitimate shot to win the title this time around.

Way to go Jeff. Hope you enjoy getting booed out of another ROH show.

More Jeff "Harvey" Hardy news courtesy of the Wrestling Herald:

Incident involving Jeff Hardy at Nashville airport Posted on Sep 18 2008 @ 12:13am by Mike Landau There's a story floating around the net regarding Jeff Hardy being detained at an airport earlier today in Nashville. I talked to 2 different sources that would know but either they'd rather stay mum for now on the subject, which I completely understand from their side, or they do not know the details. I received an email from a third person and from what I understand is the following, and keep in mind that this is not confirmed by any source i've spoken to in WWE but this does fall in line with what one person hinted to me a couple of hours ago: - Jeff Hardy was not detained by police but his girlfriend was detained. - I don't want to speculate on what was found although my source is pretty sure on what it was but i'll keep it out of this post but i'll say that it wasn't a weapon and it wasn't found on Jeff. - Jeff Hardy has major heat right now and the talk is that WWE is considering taking action and this could cause him to lose his job. More updates as they become available.

My bet on how soon Jeff will be released: Monday October 6th since "No Mercy" is the day before. Unless if the WWE wants to suddenly change the Smackdown main event for the PPV after building it for the past two weeks (counting this week's show). The WWE will keep him until the PPV is done. Then release him exactly that Monday.

Also... my bet is that his girlfriend was hiding whatever illegal drugs he had on him.

Jeff Hardy's girlfriend is...THE ENABLER.

Not to mention.... THE SCAPEGOAT.

OK, who won the pool? I estimated eight months into his June 2008 return. Thanks a lot, Jeff.

Nothing surprises me coming from a dude who willingly eats pine cones:

It was only a matter of time before the policy finally caught up with a 'name' player. The main-event face scene is looking bleaker and bleaker.

Man, Trips really backed the wrong horse this time.

Maybe. Now they'll NEVER pull the title off of him.

I wish they'd give it to MVP.

If that was Jeff Hardy's now deceased dog in the beginning, I'm sad, it looks just like one of my dogs.

Maybe Jeff Hardy and Jake the Snake can start their own promotion. I'm wracking my brain to come up with a name but it's too early.

And in other news... Sonny Siaki has retired.

Originally Posted by Sonny Siaki I just want to say a few things before I close this chapter of my life. The last ten years, I've seen, heard, watched, and learned a lot about myself and the wrestling business. Being a professional wrestler has been one of my dreams since I was a kid. I've had some of the worse and the absolute best times of my life in wrestling... "If you think you know, you have no idea". Being in the wrestling business is the hardest job in the world. You have to be mentally, emotionally, and physically strong to be accepted into it. If you've never been a part of the business, you have no clue what we (the boys) deal with. In my opinion, the only good part about being in professional wrestling is being in the ring. This business is about filling up arenas, ratings, and drawing money. Are there politics involved in wrestling? Of course there are; politics are a portion of any job. The creative team and agents in WWE and TNA have been in the business for years, and they've seen it all. Opportunities are not given - you got to take what they give you and find a way to turn it into money. You got to take chances and think outside the box in this entertainment industry. Bottom line, if you have the potential to be a profitable asset to WWE or TNA then you'll be put on TV. The question you have to ask yourself is: How can I make Vince money?, or How can I make Jeff money? For me; Did I ever make it in pro wrestling? My opinion: No... Was it my fault? Yes, because the first seven years of my career, I didn't get it. I wanted to do what was best for me, not for the match. In the locker room, I was known for being arrogant, cocky, conceited, etc. I took advantage of being a called a pro wrestler. I was VERY selfish... These last three years, the wrestling business became a learning experience. Having good psychology was an adrenaline rush. I started respecting the boys and pro wrestling. Telling a good story in the ring was exciting, wrestling became fun. Well unfortunately, two years ago while still with WWE, I received some bad news from home. My brother Bernard who's only 35 yrs old, was diagnosed with Renal Kidney Failure, a situation where one of his kidneys has completely shut down and the other is functioning at 35%. For the past two years Bernard's rare situation has turned against him. The functioning capability of his one kidney has decreased from 35% to 10%. Bernard seeks dialysis three days a week for 15 hours and lives on a strict diet. Everyday he perseveres with pain, discomfort and more fatigue than one person can usually endure. Bernard works full time just trying to pay his medical bills and on-going medications. We are in the process of providing a kidney transplant at a very high cost for BERNARD SIAKI by raising awareness, fundraisers, and getting people like you involved. Bernard who just by his kindness alone, contributes to a better society. A tender-hearted man, a gregarious friend, a beloved man. He's the type of person who cares more about other people then himself. I've decided to be the Kidney Donor for my brother which means that the doctor says I can no longer wrestle. From 1998 to 2008, I was under contract with WCW, TNA, and WWE, and want to thank each organizations for giving me the opportunity to live one my dreams. It was a privilege and an honor to work with some of the best talents in the world. To all the boys with WWE, TNA, ROH , the talent in developmental, all Indy workers, and the divas - I know what you put your bodies through, and from the bottom of my heart, I wish you the best. If you believe in faith, please pray for me and Bernard as we get our surgeries that will potentially save my brother's life. To all wrestling fans, thank you for your support of pro wrestling. Without you, there would be no Sports Entertainment. My family have paired with the 1st church of the Nazarene in Wilmington, NC to support Bernard's transplant activities. The first church of the Nazarene is considered a non-profit organization. This charitable organization union will help us organize our finances with an official treasurer and allow all donators to receive a tax benefit for their contribution to Bernard's fund. PLEASE HELP US SAVE MY BROTHER'S LIFE at www.savebernardsiaki.org. I greatly appreciate your cooperation and concern for my brother's life. Thank you and All the best, Sonny Siaki--please visit www.savebernardsiaki.org & www.myspace.com/savebernardsiaki

You aren't the only one. A Triple H/MVP feud could be good.

It could only be good if Triple H wouldn't squash MVP. If they pulled it off like Benoit/Triple H with Trips losing the title and being unable to win it back, it could be great.

That being said the Benoit/Triple H feud worked because HHH was a heel. I can't really see MVP turning face and working out. At the same time, because Triple H is so overpowering, it's hard to make it seem like he's the "face in peril".

So maybe it wouldn't be great. Then again, I'm no wrestling booker so I'm sure I'm not as good as visualizing these things as some people are.
