Dwayne Johnson and the status of 'The Rock'
2008-05-19 16:35:00
"I never wanted to make an issue out of the name," Johnson said. "I’m aware that The Rock is my nickname; it will always be my nickname. It’s a pretty damn cool nickname. But I’m also aware that there’s a whole generation of kids who have no idea at all what I used to do or who The Rock even is. So the people who were around 10 years ago and knew me as The Rock and refer to me as that – that’s cool too." source: cityandshore.com

Rumor Mill - Michael Hayes & Dateline
2008-05-19 06:14:00
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Michael Hayes made some racist statements in regards to Democratic front runner Barack Obama. There was fear that some of those statements would become public before Obama agreed to appear on Raw a few weeks ago. The newsletter also mentions an interesting comment from a minority source on the WWE production team. The person noted that Dave Kapoor (Ranjin Singh) was removed as The Great Khali's manager and threatened to be fired for merely smiling during the in-ring ceremony for the 10th anniversary edition of Raw, while Hayes will be brought back to his position despite a history of racially insensitive comments.The W-O also notes that NBC's Dateline is looking to possibly do a show on the pro wrestling industry in late June, coinciding with the one year anniversary of the Benoit tragedy.

In response to a statement JR made during a radio interview, he wrote the following on his blog:"Why would I ever say that HHH and John Cena are 'pals' when they aren?t, but I also pointed out that both respected each other and that their 'competition' was healthy for the fans and for them? Sorry conspiracy theorists but there is no conspiracy here. These men are competitors, but they don?t 'hate' each other as best I know."

Kaliqo's Judgment Day Picks
2008-05-17 04:28:00
Usually I post the pay per view picks of a writer that goes by the name of "Professor Wrestling". This time, I decided to post my own picks:WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Miz and Morrison (c) vs. Kane and C.M. PunkI still see the Miz as the jerk from The Real World. It's hard for me to take him seriously as a wrestler. However, I do like John Morrison. With more seasoning, I think he will do well. It would be a real boost to these two to go over Kane & Punk, but I think the latter will get the win.WWE Women's Championship Match: Mickie James (c) vs. Beth Phoenix vs. MelinaNormally I don't pay any attention to the Divas, but I do like Beth Phoenix and Mickie James. I would prefer to see this match without Melina, but James and Phoenix should provide enough physicality to make it interesting. I think Mickie should retain the title with Phoenix chasing her for awhile.Challenge Match: JBL vs. John CenaI don't like either one of these guys so it doesn't matter to me who wins. Cena...

Charles Barkely's $400,000 Gambling Debt
2008-05-17 04:00:00
Call him the Round Mound of Double Down. Cool Hand Chuck. Sir Charge. That in itself wouldn't be a particularly big story, but then he went seven months without paying it back. In this Barkley is not alone. Lots of Americans have failed to make payments on $400,000 debts over the last seven months. Only in almost all of those cases the debt in question has been a mortgage.But Barkley's $400,000 I.O.U. isn't being held by Chase Home Finance. And he hasn't been victimized by the subprime lending scandal. The money is owed to Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn. And even the billionaire Wynn, who famously laughed off putting his elbow through his own $139 million Picasso, might notice 400 grand if it's missing long enough.The embarrassing news that the Clark County District Attorney's Office would be issuing a criminal complaint if Barkley did not make good on the markers he obtained last October prompted Sir Charles to announce, "I'm not broke."...More?source: msn.foxsports.com

Montgomery gets 46 months in prison
2008-05-17 03:40:00
Former 100-meter record holder Tim Montgomery's once-celebrated life continued its long downward spiral Friday when a judge sentenced the former Olympic champion to nearly four years in prison for dealing in fraudulent checks. The judge also warned Montgomery, 33, that the evidence against him "does not appear to be flimsy" in an ongoing case in the state of Virginia, where he is accused of selling heroin. A conviction there would carry a minimum mandatory five-year sentence."I've had everything I ever wanted in life," said Montgomery, who won medals in two Olympics and set a record in the 100-meter dash that was later erased because of doping - discovered during the U.S. government's investigation of the San Fransico Bay Area Laborotory Co-Operative (BALCO). "I've stood on the top of the mountain." Now, he said, he's rooming with murderers and pedophiles in a Virginia jail...More?source: msn.foxsports.com

MySpace Suicide Case Could Make Us All Criminals
2008-05-17 03:15:00
Think twice before you sign up for an online service using a fake name or e-mail address. You could be committing a federal crime. Federal prosecutors turned to a novel interpretation of computer hacking law to indict a Missouri mother on charges connected to the suicide of a 13-year-old MySpace user. Prosecutors alleged that by helping create a MySpace account in the name of someone who didn't exist, Lori Drew, 49, violated the News Corp.-owned site's terms of service and thus illegally accessed protected computers...More?source: foxnews.com

Dana White please step up and take care of your fighters
2008-05-16 21:12:00
There has been an outcry lately by a lot of MMA fans, myself included, for Dana White and the UFC to step up and pay their fighters better. The top draws make the best money but it still fails to meet the standards set by some of the boxing pay-outs. I do like the fact that fighters get bonuses for winning the fight and of course they get paid from their sponsors which is a great source of revenue for them...More?source: mvn.com

WWE not a girl's best friend

Professional wrestling has three basic tenants that one must accept before attempting to enjoy a live event.1. The matches are predetermined. Some like to call it fake, others prefer to say it's scripted. Either way, it's old news.2. There will be a hard sell for merchandise, from T-shirts to hats to videos to replica championship belts. And it ain't going to be cheap.3. The treatment of women will straddle the line between patronizing and misogynistic...More?source: mlive.com

Ken Kennedy Comments on the WWE Writers
2008-05-14 00:06:00
The writers are always accessible to us. I can call them at any time. I try not to call them after certain hours of the night because they have lives just like anybody else. But no, I have access not only to the writing team, but Vince , Stephanie, Hunter, anybody. If you have an idea, you're always welcome to pitch your idea, or present them. It's just a lot of times, in our business, maybe because of there's a lot of Internet writing and stuff like there where people try to find out the scoop ahead of time, so a lot of stuff is kept secret squirrel. A lot of times, you'll present an idea, and it just doesn't fit with what their long-term plans are. A lot of times, we don't find out what's going on until the day of, and nine times out of ten, 99 times out of 100, you'll find out what you're doing the day of. So it's really hard to come up with something long-term. On two separate occasions, I've come up with storylines which the trigger was going to get pulled on, it was ...
