2008-06-11 12:20:00 The 3.0 rating for last night?s Raw has to be considered a major disappointment for WWE.

2008-06-10 12:01:00 As The King of Kings and the Legend Thriller beat the bricks off of each other, John Cena sat at the announcer?s table. Triple H was in the process of getting counted out when Cena pulled The Game off the apron, resulting in a win for Jeff Hardy by count-out.

Ashley Massaro Update - Baltimore Appearance Nixed
2008-06-10 02:40:00 Update to my June 6th post about Ashley Massaro's appearance at Camden Yard. The WWE has replaced her with Jillian Hall.Massaro posted an update on her WWE status last week on her MySpace, claiming "family stuff" as the reason for her hiatus. Massaro wrote: "lil bit o family stuff goin on but I will be back on WWE tv quicker than you can say "when is ashley coming back on WWE tv". According to pwpix.net, Ashley hasn't appeared on television -- or at any WWE function for that matter -- since the May 5 edition of Raw. Prior to her disappearance, Massaro was on Raw for seven consecutive weeks, including two appearances on pay-per-view. The weekend before her last WWE appearance, Rolling Stone reported in an investigative article that Massaro was employed by a Los Angeles escort agency.Regarding the canceled autograph signing, one would have to think that WWE nixed it so that she wouldn't get heckled by mischievous fans bringing the issue of Rolling Stone featuring the article on her.

Hunter speaks about the MDM and the state of the wrestling business
2008-06-10 02:33:00 Some quotes from the interview:...Next to sit with us was Triple H . Uber-friendly and modest, Hunter was asked right off the bat who his pick was: Celtics or Lakers? Hunter picked the Celtics since he now lives in New Hampshire, but then added this:"You know I don't follow sports. I'm so busy. I'm like the only guy in our entire locker room that doesn't. I have no idea what everyone's talking about when they talk about these games. But just out of hometown loyalty, you gotta go with the Celtics, right?" But, still admittedly, Hunter is no sports fanatic."It's a little embarrassing sometimes, like I went to the Red Sox one time and they had me throw out the first pitch of the game, and I had to bring my nephew because he's a huge baseball fan. I had to have him stand next to me and then everyone who came over I was like whispering to him, 'who's this guy?'"..."You know what, if you're a fan of our business, a fan of what we do, you tune in and you watch our product and you...

More Steiner Fallout
2008-06-09 00:24:00 Keven Eck of The Baltimore Sun gives his thoughts on the Scott Steiner interviews: Triple H – For someone like Steiner who loathes the political games in wrestling, it’s no surprise that he has nothing good to say about “The Game.” I don’t think it’s accurate, however, when Steiner says that Triple H only got his spot on top because he is married to Stephanie McMahon. Triple H was among the upper echelon and won his first WWE world title before hooking up with Stephanie. He deserves his spot as one of the top guys in the company. However, I don’t think he would be a 12-time world champion if he wasn’t married to Vince McMahon’s daughter. And I do think he has used his political influence to try to keep down certain guys that he perceived as a threat to his spot – namely Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam and Kurt Angle. On the other hand, he was instrumental in making superstars of Batista and Randy Orton. And, just like Flair, Triple H has been a victim of politics at t... More About: Fallout

Superstars encourage students to read
2008-06-08 21:07:00 As the doors to Mrs. Perry’s fifth grade classroom swung open, student Johnny Hart’s mouth opened wide. Hart couldn’t believe his eyes. He frantically turned his head around to his classmates. “Oh my God! That’s MVP, of SmackDown,” whispered Hart, in an attempt not to disrupt Perry’s well-managed class environment.SmackDown’s highest-paid Superstar, wearing one of his signature Italian, tailor-made black suits, black Gucci shoes, black Cartier sunglasses, and enough “ice” around his neck and wrist to freeze Southern California, strutted into class with ECW Diva Layla by his side. The former United States Champion and 2006 Diva Search winner were at Robert F. Kennedy Elementary School to encourage students to read...More?source: wwe.com More About: Students , Read

The Straightshot- A Lesson in Absolutes
2008-06-08 15:56:00 Greg Andrews of ProWrestling.com wrote an article about the WWE being vulnerable to a hostile take over in the wake of Vince 's demise.Ok, this guy is an idiot. He doesn't know who will be in charge of the WWE upon Vince's passing, although I would assume before that happens they will finally acknowledge that Hunter is a member of the creative team. He praises Vince for being smart enough, ruthless enough and brave enough to build his empire, but then assumes is isn't smart enough, ruthless enough and brave enough to have a succession plan in place. Go figure.As far as "money men" stepping in and creating other promotions or wrestlers/agents/staff leaving to start their own companies, such as what happened with the NWA, so what? Competition makes everyone better. More About: Triple H , Lesson , Absolutes , Stephanie
Response to Scott Steiner's comments about Triple H
2008-06-08 15:13:00 From Matthew Fargher of wrestling-edge.com:Ok, I was just reading about an interview that Scott Steiner gave with some magazine and the things he said in that interview I find pretty funny. First of all, he was going on about how the only way that Triple H got to look good is because he married the boss? daughter. Now, I am not going to say that getting married to the boss? daughter didn?t give him an in with the boss that few other wrestlers have, but to say that?s the only way Triple H got over is ridiculous. First of all let?s consider who is running his mouth about how bad Triple H is, Scott Steiner.Now I haven?t followed Steiner's career back to front but from what I have seen of him recently and in his WWE days he is one of the worst workers in wrestling. He is so stiff and old that it?s even difficult for someone like Kurt Angle to get a good match out of him. I have heard people talk about him being able to deliver a good promo but I have to disagree. I watched his ridiculo... More About: Comments , Response
