I wonder how much of a serious problem that was for him. I'd imagine weed use is probably quite common in the WWE, and probably not really that big of a deal. Kind of makes you wonder exactly what Jeff Hardy was on though.

Based on the way he dresses and likes vibrant colors I would have to guess acid.

JR: BAH GAWD! The South Texas Rattlesnake, Saucy Jack! He's going into the ring...


Jack: How are you SOBs doing today?

Crowd: What?

Jack: I said, "How you doin' today?"

Crowd: What?

Jack: It's time for Saucy Jack's rasslin' news!

Crowd: What?

Jack: And it's brought to you by my two middle fingers!

While promoting the feature film Doom, The Rock told www.FreezeDriedMovies.com that he might make an appearance at Wrestlemania 22 in Chicago but would not be wrestling. Rock is currently filming the science fiction film Southland Tales alongside Kevin Smith and Sarah Michelle-Gellar.

Kevin Nash has signed a deal with Jakks Pacific to produce a WWE Classic Superstars action figure.

WWE will be releasing a special magazine devoted to Rey Mysterio which features an interview with Mysterio, a look at his ten best matches, and an article about his uncle and namesake Rey Mysterio Sr.

Bob Davis sent the following....I just checked out WWE.com, and they have a new feature on the site called "Bell To Bell". This feature allows a person to read every move that occured during each match on the show. I assume that this was updated live during the ppv, but I'm not sure (Note: It was.). This feature is available on the main WWE.com page. They have also posted a video of JR's full entrance before the Unforgiven PPV.

WWE.com also has video of Mick Foley's appearance on Conan O'Brien from last week on their website. During his final Ring of Honor appearance in Lake Grove, Long Island on Saturday evening, Foley noted on the house mic that he had spoken up in favor of getting ROH regular Homicide a WWE deal and also whipped out the famous Cactus Jack elbow from the apron to the floor on top heel manager Prince Nana.

The Tartan Online in Pennsylvania has an interview with WWE developmental talent Mike the Miz who is currently training down in Deep South Wrestling at this link, mostly discussing his time on MTV's the Real World.

After the WWE Unforgiven PPV last night, WWE ran a commercial in Australia announcing the Main Event for No Mercy as Eddie Guerrero vs Batista. They also announced that Randy Orton & his father Bob Orton would face off against the Undertaker.

Jamie Knoble is returning to the WWE after dropping his title to the "American Dragon" in ROH.

-Last night on ESPN, they referred to San Diego Padres player Ramon Hernandez as "Razor Ramon".

-WWE is really hyping up Triple H's return to RAW on October 3rd, by releasing several photos of the WWE Superstar working out at his home gym.

RAW will obviously be focused on addressing the Kurt Angle-John Cena finish and building to their rematch at Taboo Tuesday.

- Matt Hardy and Edge are receiving praise for having the match of the night. Shawn Michaels is also receiving positive feedback for his work with Masters (who, by the way, is not being slighted either).

- Ric Flair’s win was obviously designed to give him a spotlight role on the path to an eventual feud with Triple H. It remains to be seen if that feud will kick off this October, but it’s inevitably going to happen.

- Although it was hardly promoted as a major matchup, Big Show’s bout with Gene Snitsky does possess some significance. Sources close to the situation report that following the PPV last night, WWE will increase focus on the transition of moving Big Show from a regular performer to an Andre-like “novelty act.” While Big Show will still work regularly, WWE is reportedly trying to remove him from long-term “programs” with other wrestlers. Show will instead work on developing a special bond with the fans so that each appearance is considered important and “special.” Such intentions explain the utilization of Big Show in comedy roles and “parade-like” entrances - both are designed to make him more fan-friendly. Few specifics are available as to plans for Big Show following the PPV. All that is known is that WWE is indeed committed to this transition; it could, of course, take quite some time before going into full effect.

Several sources are reporting now that John Cena and Kurt Angle will continue their feud through the rest of this month and next, leading up into Taboo Tuesday on Nov. 1st.

It is also expected that match will be joined with Ric Flair taking on Triple H for the Intercontinental title that he won last night at Unforgiven. That program should start when Triple H makes his return on RAW on the debut of USA Network.

We should also find out tonight what direction the Matt Hardy/Edge feud will take. It is unknown at this point whether both men will go in new directions or this will lead up to one last match between the two at some point in the future.

-- The Rock will be starring in a new movie titled “Southland Tales”, where he shares the screen with Mandy Moore, who plays his wife, and Sarah Michelle Gellar who plays his girlfriend.

There is another movie possibility for The Rock in the future, titled “Daddy’s Girl”, where The Rock would play an NFL superstar/playboy-turned father who inherits a baby. This movie will most likely be his next one after “Southland Tales”.

The Rock will be making his media rounds starting on October 11 to promote “Doom“, with Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Regis, and a few others. We’ll have more updates on where you can see The Rock on TV in the future.

- CM Punk was trashed backstage recently by Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Michael Hayes after watching one of his matches. The main thing they put against him was that they thought he didn’t know how to get over, and that he wrestlers like he’s doing a simulated wrestling match, not working a wrestling match.

Due to Paul Heyman’s liking for him, it was first thought that he would do OK backstage in WWE. However, with Paul Heyman’s pull in WWE decreasing at the hands of Stephanie McMahon, this may not help him as much as people once thought.

Some backstage observers claim that no matter what Punk did in the ring, they still would have been down on him. Simply because he’s an unknown who isn’t physically impressive and doesn’t have a gimmick that he can use to get over yet.

TNA & Indies News

The Border City show was something of a test for TNA house shows as there are some in the company who would like to start doing them once they have a few months of Spike TV under their belt. If they are looking to do house shows, they may as well test the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, PA. The Arena has shown in the past that it's a perfect location for a company looking to draw from the surrounding States and is a well known locale. If you are going to make a start, that seems to be the best launching pad historically. I would also expect the company to attempt Michigan and Pittsburgh using Scott D'Amore and Shane Douglas as point people as that was the plan earlier in the year if they ever got to house shows. My advice is to make sure you are organized, have local promotion together, and pick your spots before you ever publicly announce anything.

New NWA champion Jeff Jarrett worked last night for AAA in Mexico City. TNAWrestling.com has an article up noting that Jarrett caused a "near riot" and needed a police escort to escape the venue. TNA had a camera crew filming the appearance.

Dave Sahadi and Mike Tenay both have new columns up on TNAWrestling.com.

The official date for TNA's Turning Point PPV will be 12/11 at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

For those of you in college in the Nashville area, TNA will be offering internships. You can email [email protected] for more information.

Upcoming DVD plans include a Best of Christopher Daniels and a Best of the Heavyweight title devoted to the NWA championship.

TNA is expected to announce they have signed a deal with the new Canadian Fight Network, which is slated to go on the air this Wednesday up North.

Zach Gowen is scheduled to appear for the IWF in Riverview, Michigan on 9/24 in a Three-Way Dance against Gutter and N8 Mattson. Shark Boy will be working a Lucha Libre themed show for IWR on 10/29 in Detroit. For information, visit www.IWRWrestling.com.

I've managed to avoid all PPV spoilers and i'm watching it now. I love 180mb nsv files, you see the PPV you want, but it's not good enough quality to warrant keeping it. It's also small enough for the tracker to where you can download it on the trackers at pwt and upload more than you download, thus improving your ratio.. 180-200mb download/680mb upload? Sweet for my ratio.

- Why is the IC title match curtain jerking? The second most important title in the WWE (or used to be, anyway).. the card's also not really good enough to start out with Ric F'n Flair and Carlito.. oh well.. I really hope Carlito retains the title, he could work programs with a ton of people.. Flair as the champ wouldn't make much sense, he couldn't work programs and keep up with people like Shelton Benjamin and Chris Masters (because you know HBK will win and Masters will get bumped back down the card.. I hope. God, I hope. If HBK puts him over...)

- Pretty good match thus far, Flair's still on top of his game. Not exactly in the best of shape, but he's still very, very neat in his moves.. by "neat", I mean the holds are properly applied, he's not .. GOOD LORD that chop!.. his holds are not sloppy in his age. Most older guys get lazy and sloppy, he's still on top of his game.

- Carlito's hair is looking exceptionally springy tonight. Ha, Flair's thumb to the eye.. chop! Wooooo! This match is a lot better than I thought it would be, I figured it'd be a squash or something. Ha, Flair can still fly to the outside better than anyone in the business. Crap, i'm going to have to condense this three hour PPV into an hour and a half.. shouldn't be too hard to do. Cover.. uno.. dos.. kickout. TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. too bad they're not in Calgary. Since when does the crowd rally behind Flair? I guess the biggest heel could be the biggest face when facing another heel. Not that Flair's a heel, he was before, he's a face now, obviously. Let's Go Flair chant? What the hell is going on, did I accidentally download a match from the 70's? Am I actually watching Flair vs. Carlos Colon or what? Whoa. I just googled Carlos Colon and found out his birthday is July 19th, same as mine. His son's Carlito. My Carlito fanboy-ism is now justified! haha, he looks weird with a shaved head. More chops. Flair to the top. Will he jump? Of course not. In the past 10 years, Flair's actually jumepd from the top rope 2 t.. HOLY SHIT, HE JUMPED OFF THE TOP ROPE! HE ACTUALLY JUMPED OFF THE TOP ROPE! HOLY SHIT! FLAIR CAN JUMP OFF THE TOP ROPE! I can't believe it.. ha, he's going for it again, now he'll get thrown. OH MAN.. that was brutal. Flair looked like he landed stiff. But seriously, during this match, he jumped off the rope more times in this match than in the past 15 years. Uh oh, the apple. Ooh, nice right hand.. haha, "choking".. wtf.. no.. he can't win this. Flair can't win this. NO! FIGURE 4! NO! DAMN IT! NO! NO! HE CAN'T NO! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! FLAIR WON IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT TO THE BOWELS OF BLOODY HELL! There's no program for him to work! He better lose it on Raw! This isn't '93, there's no Mr. Perfect, there's no Macho Man, there's no Rick Martel, there's no one for him to work with, there's nothing for him to do! It's great that he won his first IC belt, but ffs, he shouldn't have. Haha, a speech. I hope he spits on it and throws it in the garbage can. Come on, Flair! Heel! He needs to stop making out with the belt. Ugh. Triple H shout out. I was hoping he'd say Arn Anderson. I wish Arn would come out of the back. He works backstage, they can't have him come out every now and then? Geez. Ha. Flair walking with two chicks and JR calls it "pandemonium". Space Mountain is open from the repairs, apparently.

- Diva match. I think this part cut out. No big deal there. *fast forwards* Ashley and Trish. Big suprise. Whoa. Trish's double move was sweet.

- Ha. Flair segment. Ooh, a limo. I wonder who will jump out. No one? Weird. Maybe there's a hidden driver. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! VIAGRA.. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.. I can't believe he agreed to do that in the segm.. whoa, pills and wine? Segment or not, people have died that way.. haha, another pill.. and more alcohol..

- Hey, cool! That WWE commercial everyone was talking about! That was cool.

- CA CA CA CALLINNNNNNNNNG.. god I hate this song, it's so retarded.

- ZZ Top.. haha. Impressive goatees. Big show? Time to fast forward again. Big Show won? Big suprise.

- Wrestlemania 22 logo is pretty cool. Smoke coming out of the Limo door? That's stupid. They should've made the limo rock back and forth. I hope that was the last Flair segment unless something huge happens with it. Ha, JR called the Master Lock the full nelson.. which it is, it was just funny to hear. Fast forward through this match too. Hey, WTF? Shelton vs. Kerwin? Get your Sunday Night Heat off my PPV! Shelton won. Wow. Big suprise.

- Matt Hardy/Edge.. Take a drink every time he says Lita, Edge, or I Will Not Die. Let's see.. 1.. 2.. 3.. Todd said Lita.. 4, he said Edge.. what, no I Will Not Die comment? Oh well, at least someone would've gotten a good four shots.

- Lower the cage! Yay! Oh wait, promo package, go figure. Fast forward. Edge still has the coolest entrance out there today. I love the theme, I love the fog.. I hate how he just walks down now, I wish he'd run around like a freakin' retard like he used to. I miss Matt's old entrance. Random Matt fact: Matt enjoys having wool pulled over his eyes.

- Hardy/Edge is a snoozefest so far. It doesn't help that the video is kinda b0rked in this match, though it said that when I downloaded it. Yeeeeeeeah, this looks like a fast forwarder and watch the clips at the end. Twist of Fate on Lita! woo woo! Spear. Wait. Hardy won? No seriously, that was unexpected. Wait. He's on top of the cage. Holy crap. Don't do it, dude. Oh crap. HOLY HELL. I can't believe he won it. Cripes, I can't believe Edge's head isn't rolling around in the ring after a top-of-the-cage leg drop. So is this fued over? Oh, wait. Edge has to get revenge. Crap. This is going to be continued through Wrestlemania.

- Hurricane/Rosey vs. Cade/Murdoch. $10 says Cade/Murdoch win it. *Fast forwards* Oh, look at that. They won. And they changed their music again. Seriously. This is the third theme they've had. This is the third match they've wrestled. Well, Hurricane and Rosey get a rematch, at least. After all, those two teams are the only two tag teams on Raw.

- Again with another Flair segment? A woman in the robe. Wow, she's a bad actor.

- This bubbly interviewer sucks. I hate her. HA! "Why do they call you the master bate?".. interesting. Fast forward. Good. HBK didn't put him over.

- Cena/Angle. Let's see. I'm hoping Cena takes it home, I don't really like angry Angle.. he's okay though, I guess. I wouldn't mind seeing Angle as champ. Fast forward.

- What the crap is Bischoff doing? Now that it's two on one in the ring, Cena can get a bigger pop by defeating them both! Eh. Fast forward. Belt shot! Bell? DQ! Ha. Sucka! Uh oh! Nitro swerve, Bischoff orders this match to continue!

Wait. What the fuck? Cena gets DQ'ed but Cena wins? What in the hell? The WWE title match on a PPV ended in a DQ?

PPV rating - 2.5/5. Very predictable. But seriously, what the fuck? Cena gets DQ'ed but Cena wins and retains.. that's the dumbest shit ever. It's like.. the Hart screw job in reverse, or something.
 
Nice review, Scorch. Worth downloading, or just skip it?

Really, I'd just like to see Matt's legdrop from the cage. Sounds cool. And maybe just see Flair's stupidity in the limo sequences.

Carlito should get the belt back, but that won't happen. I think that Triple H and Ric Flair are starting a program for the IC belt.

Thanks for the advice, man.

Do those NSV files only work with certain versions of Winamp? I'm not sure which version I have, but I know it's an older version because I didn't like some of the changes they made to the newer versions.

TNA's Turning Point PPV will once again be held in Orlando, FL and will take place on December 11th.

As noted earlier today, Jeff Jarrett worked a show last night in Mexico City for the AAA promotion. TNA had cameras in attendance and were filming the action.

There are currently DVD's in the works for a Best of Christopher Daniels and a Best of the Heavyweight title.

For those of you in college in the Nashville area, TNA will be offering internships. You can email [email protected] for more information.

The Border City show on Thursday night was a 'test' for future TNA house shows. Several members of management want to try and do house shows after several months of being on Spike TV. Expect TNA to start in Michigan and Pittsburgh using Scott D'Amore and Shane Douglas as the main promoters of the shows.

[quote name='Saucy Jack']WWE has released Brian Danovitch, a Tough Enough hopeful. Question is... who the hell is he?[/QUOTE]

That is a good question.

Tough Enough pretty much became a waste of money for WWE (guess that should come as no shock though).
 
[quote name='Saucy Jack']Matt Hardy may have been injured because of the legdrop. If only I could see the damn spot and GET THIS fuckING NSV FILE TO WORK![/QUOTE]

Matt Hardy suffered a broken ass?
 
Anyone else expecting an extra crappy raw tonight?

I mean aside from Edge/Hardy there really isn't much worth watching on Raw at the moment. I have a feeling that the WWE is purposely putting B-list material out there until they make the move back to USA.
 
[quote name='Zenithian Legend']
The Edge/Hardy feud is certain to continue too. Should be interesting to see what type of stipulations they have for that match at Taboo Tuesday. I also have got to wonder when Edge will use his money-in-the-bank title shot. The fact that he still has that leads me to believe he'll end up going over Hardy and then feuding with Cena. Of course part of me wants to believe the Edge-Hardy feud won't ever really end and the two will remain rivals on the air until one is moved to SD. I'm expecting the Taboo Tuesday options for their match to be along the lines of last year's Snitsky/Kane match. Although, they're almost certain to end up in a ladder match. I'd probably have the MIB title shot up for grabs too. Edge would undboutedly retain it, but that sort of stip would be a natural progression.[/QUOTE]

Good call!
 
[quote name='xxdeadp0olxx']Good call![/QUOTE]

Don't forget that I said Edge will retain. I assure you Matt will come close, but end up ultimately losing, being moved to SD and being de-pushed. With Edge on raw, Matt will have no built-in feuds on SD. WIth guys like Benoit and Booker T as mid-card faces now, Matt can look forward to main eventing Velocity, or whatever show WWE has in a month.

If I were booking this, I'd have Matt win, that way his push continues and he has a legit shot. You move Edge over to SD, he can feud with anyone over there, remember Edge vs Batista never fully materialized, they had a fight or two but that was it. Plus Vince could find out if Matt could really handle a main event push, he did test that with the other Hardy, back when Jeff briefly feuded with The Undertaker for the WWE Title.

Actually, if I had total creative control, I'd have Kane return during that match and lay out Edge, then turn and take out Matt as well. Kane would then climb the ladder, take the M-I-T-B shot and defend it in a triple threat match at Taboo Tuesday.

Back to reality though, Hardy vs Cena makes no sense, and Edge is supposedly in good favor with HHH, who wants to eventually work a program with him. Look for Edge to win, then use his title shot at a Raw ppv before (or at) the Royal Rumble. Then at the Royal Rumble Matt will renew the feud with Edge, setting up an inevitable final match at Wrestlemania, Matt will win that one, but it'll be kind of a moot point by then.
 
As I said earlier, I'd expect nothing of importance to happen... and it really didn't, and it probably won't again next week as they depart from Spike...
 
Good RAW chat tonight, everybody. I had a lot of fun. It really helped that we had some football and good conversation to offset the crappy RAW. And thanks for putting up with me. :)
 
They're really pumpin the hell outta these comebacks on Raw. I'd be excited, but you know Austin and Foley aren't even gonna wrestle. Although :whistle2:k... a main event of Austin, Hogan, & Mick vs HHH, Flair & HBK would be entertaining. They don't even have to have a storyline behind it, as in theory all 6 could be faces. Just have the match, it'd be a dream match for sure.
 
If they added Bret to the list of legends, everybody in the arena would die... that would rock.

However, I still think that if Bret comes back, we'll see it this way:

(Announcer gives the names of a group of legends being put in the Hall of Fame at WrestleMania 22).

Announcer: Joining this group in the Hall of Fame...

(screen fades to black, and we hear a familiar guitar wail)

Announcer: Bret "Hitman" Hart!

That would be the markout moment of the year. We'd definitely have to do a Hall of Fame show XBL chat.
 
Actually, not a bad show overall tonight. Flair vs. Carlito was more entertaining that I thought it'd be. I think it's okay to have these ridiculous 8-man tags once in a while, since they're just sort of floating until the USA move.
 
Ya, I actually enjoyed the main event. Why not group all the top guys you have left in to one big match? Remember for some unknown reason they'd been running a bonus match on both Raw & SD for awhile featuring JBL/HHH vs Batista/Cena, that's the kind of match that would draw ratings on tv.

At this point what the creative staff needs to understand is that making sense in the storylines comes seconds to what will and won't draw. I don't care if that means turning Cena heel, giving Trish the WWE title and making Rosey the GM of Raw, if it draws, then for God's sake stop holding back and do it.


Edit: Although, I would've liked to see some sort of interesting stipulation. Why not replace Cena or something and turn the match into a 4 on 4 elimination match? Then the remaining members of the winning team face each other in a fatal 4-way, triple threat, or simple one on one match to decide who gets the first title shot after Raw moves to USA.

I really think that Vince and creative are wrong with their current direction, I don't believe that people really want to see Cena vs Bischoff. Vince vs Austin was different, but Cena vs Bischoff is just a lower level match. It's like if instead of Philly vs New England in the Super Bowl you got Buffalo and Carolina, while still a decent game, it's not the one that most people want to see.

That's where I feel creative is continually falling short, they're just not connecting with the fans, and the only ones still watching are the die hard fans, and even some of them are tuning out to watch MNF instead.
 
Ha.

I'm going to try to preorder it by this weekend. An early Christmas gift, if you will. That's pretty much all i'm getting for Christmas.. Wrestlemania anthology and the XB360. That's a huge Christmas.

No, its more like thanks for putting up with me. :lol:

Overall I felt RAW was lackluster tonight if it wasn't for the Flair vs Carlito match. That alone was worth the time to tune in... then again, I was watching either football game more than RAW anyways (in HD mind you). :D

Shit... I'd be really happy to get either one of those for Christmas. You're in for a real treat, buddy. Are you buying these gifts for yourself, or are they real gifts and family/friends are buying them for you?

I'm seriously considering buying one of these items. I've just started a part-time job, and with a few weeks of pay I could pretty much buy a 360. And I could definitely buy the WrestleMania set with a few weeks pay.

I'm leaning towards trying to buy a 360. That way, I can possibly get one on launch day, and if I'm in a squeeze for cash... it'll go onto eBay and I can recover some money. Then, I'll just buy it at a later date.

Hmm... should I hang onto my old WWF/WWE WrestleMania discs, though?

I'm definitely considering the WM box set and the 360... all the other games and DVDs can wait.

EDIT: Also, how much do you think the WM box set will run in stores the first week? Also, I'm wondering if Best Buy is going to offer something extra with the set. But if DDD has a better price, I'd rather stick with them. You can't beat 31 discs for $150.
 
I wonder if theirs going to be any deals on The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior next week. Best Buy has it listed for $19.99, which is what I had to get One Night Stand for.
 
You guys/gals think there would be enough interest here to make a CAG league for WWE Fantasy? It's still free like season 4. Season 5 starts on Oct 10.
 
Quickie news bit from Saucy Jack's rasslin' news! Brought to you by... Trudy's Scratchin' Post Bed & Breakfast in Reno, Nevada!

The Ultimate Warrior DVD set is only a single disc release, not 2 as stated before. Here's the synopsis and feature list from SilverVision:

The Ultimate Warrior – a household name and icon in sports-entertainment.

A driving guitar beat heralded his explosion to the ring with his signature arm bands and face paint. His intensity was unparalleled. His controversial personality was equally unmatched. Learn about the man and the myth from the people who witnessed his meteoric rise to the WWE Championship in a victory against Hulk Hogan before 67,000 fans at Wrestlemania VI. Hear from the Superstars who worked with the man.

Did he burn out or drop out?

Relive his feuds with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, Hulk Hogan and more. Exclusive interviews with Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff break down the Ultimate Warrior's stints in WWE & WCW. Find out exactly what happened at Summerslam 1991 when The Ultimate Warrior held up the WWE for more money!

DVD Extras:

vs Terry Gibbs - Wrestling Challenge 24/10/87
vs Honky Tonk Man - Intercontinental Championship Match - Summerslam 29/8/88
vs Hulk Hogan - Title vs Title Match - Wrestlemania VI 1/4/90
vs Ravishing Rick Rude - WWE Championship Steel Cage Match - Summerslam 17/8/90
vs Macho King Randy Savage - Retirement Match - Wrestlemania VII 24/3/91

There is one easter egg. You can access it in the extras section. Highlight Warrior University, and hit the right arrow twice. A "follow the path of the Warrior" segment comes up, with a blind man selling newspapers, and some guy tries to rip him off, and then thinks better of it.

I saw that Ultimate Warrior DVD today, I didn't know it was out yet. It was at Wal-Mart.. I think it was $17 or $18 something, way too much.

edit: Checked some release dates, looks like it actually comes out next week. Broke the street yet again, apparently. They did this last week with Half-Life 2 GOTY and Counter-Strike 1 collection on PC. They only had four copies, though. So check your Wal-Marts, some have put it out already.
