Week In Review - Ending March 17, 2007
TCSwrestling.com prides itself on being a place for most of your wrestling needs; from what we understand, news is one of them. Now, were not talking news stories with headlines such as “Is Samoa Joe going to WWE??!!? Click here for details” (then after you click and get flamed with pop-ups, you read “Rumor has it that Samoa Joe has not entertained the thought of leaving TNA, as he is currently happy with his situation” Damn it. Tricked again.). We understand that like any form of entertainment, there’s news that matters and news that, well, doesn’t really amount to anything. We are your filter - offering you the top seven stories of the last seven days. That’s sounds like a good number, eh? Hell, we’ll even list them in the order of importance. You’re welcome.
NEWS FOR THE WEEK ENDING WITH MARCH 17, 2007:
1. “Big Cat” Ernie Ladd passes away after losing the long-fought battle with cancer. He was 68 years of age. No jokes to be make here, pals.
2. Rene Dupree was suspended (and may be fired) due to something relating to the wellness policy. And just like that, the ONE tag team on ECW is split up. So much for that whole “re-debut ECW tag titles” thing. Way to fuck it all up, Dupree. Just because you had to get bigger quicker and faster. Fuckin’ French…
3. The Rock made a brief return to a wrestling show on Raw. Apparently, the Raw head writer Brian Gerwitz and he keep contact and Rock agreed to do a cameo. Well, I guess if there’s one thing this guys good for..
4. Great Muta had a real reason he showed up at TNA’s Destination X (it was NOT to simply waste a limo and spit on a locker) Rather, it was the start of a working relationship between All Japan Pro Wrestling (which Muta is the president of) and TNA. Hopefully there’s room for them in the bullshit-filled one hour of TV time that Russo excretes every week.
5. Edge is actually injured - a dislocated jaw from his MITB qualifying match against RVD. This sorta explains these bullshit segments teasing Edge matches on Raw that involve him just blowing the heel horn and working his way out of wrestling. What the hell is wrong with just coming right out and saying he’s hurt, so he’s going to milk it like the bitch he is so he’s top shape for Money In The Bank? Pecker heads.
6. Chris Jericho is rumored to be contemplating a return to the ring. He would naturally work a part-time schedule, and would go to TNA if the money was right, but will likely end up back in WWE. Fuck, I say.
7. Batista is apparently a backstage piece of shit that’s being compared to the Ultimate Warrior as far as how he treats the business. Here’s another news flash: he’s also an in-ring piece of shit and a piece of shit on the microphone. He sure is a snazzy fuckin’ dresser, though, boy. Slow news week, by the way.
Yup. The week. News. Ya read it.
