figured we could put notes such as this all in the same place... this could actually be good news for Tree and allow him to retain Kennedy.
According to Dave Meltzer, Smackdown! star Ken Kennedy suffered a lat tear (upper back muscle), the same injury recently suffered by Batista.
It is believed Kennedy's injury is more serious than Batista's. Kennedy is out indefinitely. |

WWE(R) Pay-Per-Views To Follow WrestleMania(R) Formula
STAMFORD, Conn.--In the spirit that has made WrestleMania the premier brand in the pay-per-view industry, every future World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-views will feature talent and storylines from all three WWE programs: -- "Monday Night RAW®," "Friday Night SmackDown®," and "ECW®: Extreme Championship Wrestling(TM)."
Starting with Backlash® on April 29, WWE fans will see all their favorite Superstars on every pay-per-view. This is a change from 2005 and 2006, when only four of WWE's 16 pay-per-views featured talent from more than one WWE brand.
"We have seen over the past two years that WWE pay-per-views have significantly better buy rates when more than one WWE brand is involved," said Kurt Schneider, Executive Vice President, Marketing. "WrestleMania, with an average of one million buys per event over the past three years, is the perfect example. This new direction will give our fans more of what they want in every one of our pay-per-views."
Schneider said that the tri-branded WWE pay-per-views will benefit from promotion on all three WWE prime time programs - "Monday Night RAW," (USA, 9/8C), "Friday Night SmackDown," (CW, 8/7C)and "ECW: Extreme Championship Wrestling" (Tuesdays, SCI FI, 10/9C). WWE has had the No. 1 prime time shows on USA, SCI FI, and The CW each week in January and February among households and total viewers, compared to programs with two or more telecasts. Throughout January and February, WWE programs reached 15.7 million viewers in 10.8 million households during the average week.

Thought I would contribute some infor from PWInsider
"For those who have asked why Edge hasn't wrestled the last several weeks, the reason is that he suffered a fractured jaw while wrestling Rob Van Dam a few weeks back. He's not expected to wrestle until Wrestlemania 23, where he's part of the Money in the Bank ladder match."

interestingly, Jimmy Rave - the top heel in ROH - also had his jaw broken recently. he's out the next 8 to 12 weeks, at least, as it's been wired shut.

Just some OVW news for you guys, 2 Cold Scorpio (not Flash Funk) made his OVW tv debut this Saturday. I would love to see him get a chance to wrestle some of the cruisers in WWE if he makes it to tv again,

Zyre - how's Mike Kruel looking? he's a local guy from here in NYC who has been around for awhile, so when he got signed, it was nice to see.
he's one of the nicest guys i've met in the wrestling business. we only had a few conversations, but he was polite, and pretty much didn't have that "i'm a wrestler, who are you?" complex...

Kruel is doing an obnoxious flag waving American heal, talking about "his friend George Bush" and pushing all the right buttons to get people to boo. He comes off well on the mic and looks very solid in the ring. He is allied now with the "Russians" in OVW so he is on OVW tv as the front man almost every week.
Ironically someone Rude and I play an online game with wrestles indies in the mid-Atlantic region. I told him I saw video of he and Kruel from ECWA I think and he mentioned to me as well that Kruel was a great guy, and that was from a fellow worker. Sounds like Kruel gets good reviews all around.

how fantastic is it that in KENTUCKY, being a "friend" of GW Bush makes you a heel!?!?! amazing!
i'd be curious as to who the other wrestler might be. i know a number of guys are online.
another mid-atlantic guy - Damien Wayne - who is supposed to be damned good, is rumoured to be getting a tryout in ROH next week. i've never seen him, but i'm looking forward to it.

Well ask any of the republican incumbents that lost last November, they probably are thinking that being a member of George W's stable got them heel heat or worse yet, the dreaded X-Pac heat.
The fella we online game with is Andrew Ryker, super nice guy and only way I happened on to that he was in the business was checking out his website from a forum tag he had. http://www.andrewryker.com/

I sent a pm to Ryker to see if he would be interested in case there is an opening but Drew keeps his wrestling pretty quiet, in that he never ever mentions it unless I chat with him about it privately. If he was interested and you guys had an opening I told him to contact me or Rude for more info.

and, it's looking like we have a race again.
it's being reported that Edge tore his pectoral muscle, will be out for quite some time, and there will be a Battle Royal to determine the new champ.
and yes, The Great Khali, is still available for trade.

One possibility could be Mysterio as well.....but it might be better to have him come back to chase the title instead.
Hardy certainly is over with the fans...but how believable is that?
I see Batista, maybe with Hardy winning the US Title either at this or the next PPV, with MVP moving up to the main event scene.

Marcus Cor Von is not at the Smackdown/ECW taping and because of that, WWE has been forced to cancel the scheduled Cor Von vs. CM Punk ECW match for tonight. No word yet on why Cor Von is not at the taping.

Biff Wellington...actually died a couple days before Benoit.
as for Kronus - he'd been mostly out of wrestling for quite sometime, and had battled various addictions. his death, while a shame, is not surprising.

Bobby Lashley had surgery Tuesday to repair what was believed to be a torn rotator cuff. However, his rotator cuff was not torn but they found other serious injuries. Lashley’s injuries couldn’t be fixed through arthroscopic surgery and is expected to be out for three to five months.

WWE suspends 10 wrestlers
by Dave Meltzer
WWE today officially suspended 10 of its performers based on information received from investigators in the Albany, NY district attorneys office.
None of the names have been released but it will likely be obvious over the next week who at least some of them are.
The suspensions would likely be based on proof that performers were using Signature Pharmacy or another Internet prescription type firm after the implemenation of the Wellness policy.
The company also has informed all performers that beginning 11/1, the company will publicly release the names of anyone who is suspended under drug policy violations.
better not be some of my guys...i'm hurting enough as it is.

this is a HUGE blow, and quite frankly, from a business perspective, possibly bigger than the death of Benoit. you're talking about the ECW World Champion, a guy being pushed as Vince's "son", and several other high profile guys.

Back from Niagara.
Just as long as Kane isn't on the list, right? :)
But also, I believe their "suspensions" are just loss of pay - but they still are on TV and in storylines.
You'd think with all this they would push someone like Punk to the moon, since they don't have to worry about him. And yet, Nitro still wins at the PPV.
I'll do ECW points this afternoon.

Names being discussed for induction into the WWE Hall of Fame next year include the Von Erichs, Ted DiBiase, Mae Young, Gordon Solie, Rick Rude, and for the celebrity wing, Bob Uecker. Also, they really want Ric Flair, which has been the plan for a long time now, but both sides are currently on the outs.
Glad to see one of our own has a shot at the HOF. Personally my vote is for DiBiase.
