what i've heard is that someone unnamed was a complete and total mess in the dining hall before a recent show - at a level Joey Matthews was at when he was having his problems.
that usually results in a suspension. maybe they didn't want to do two in one week??

Speaking of Joey Matthews he is one of the only good things on OVW now that WWE has pulled all their contracted talent from it. The show has basically become bad Memphis (the recent stuff) wrestling, but Joey Matthews has been awesome as a brutal heel, Rob Conway looks good as always and Nick Dinsmore is the champ going back to his Mr Wrestling background.

I am about 99% sure I will be booting this season and I will begin taking offers on my guys and see what happens. I will be looking for draft picks 1st and then possibly a lower level keeper. Send offers here and i will see what i come up with.

I just read that Smackdown and ECW for the 10th & 13th respectively are being taped Saturday June 7th, do we need to get our lineup in by tomorrow?

As Zyre brought up... Smackdown is taping the next two weeks this weekend. So this leaves the deadline for the next two weeks Saturday night - say 7 PM I guess?
The SmackDown/ECW crews have back-to-back television tapings this weekend as they will tape the next two weeks of television before their upcoming tour of New Zealand and Australia. Next week's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi (airing on 6/10) and next week's edition of SmackDown (airing on 6/13) will be taped Saturday night in Fresno, California.
- The follow week's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi (airing on 6/17) and the following week's edition of SmackDown (airing on 6/20) will be taped on Sunday in San Jose, California. The crews will then make the long flight over to Auckland, New Zealand where they will begin their overseas tour with a show on Wednesday night.

Since the " The follow week's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi (airing on 6/17) and the following week's edition of SmackDown (airing on 6/20) will be taped on Sunday in San Jose, California. The crews will then make the long flight over to Auckland, New Zealand where they will begin their overseas tour with a show on Wednesday night."
would it be alright to post a week 11 lineup so long as it is in before 7pm on Sunday as that taping doesn't begin until 7pm PT on Sunday?

I might consider trading Randy Orton for an equally valued Main Eventer. Benefit to me is I get points. Benefit to you as a trading partner is you get a lower-scoring Main Event keeper that won't be your high scorer.
Drop me a line.
PS - I could also use the spreadsheet when updated.

Striker and Layla (hardly count - although Layla is quietly so incredibly smoking hot but doesn't get enough credit)

I'd be willing to trade a high #1 pick in the upcoming draft if anyone is interested... this would be worded as my "2nd lowest pick" which is guaranteed at WORST the 7th pick (not Farn or Species pick and Wiggs has my "worst" pick so he's absolute worst going to be #8).
So if you've got a stud you are losing anyway... I'd trade this pick packaged with a young guy who might be worth keeping (i.e. DH Smith, Yang, Elijah Burke or if its really a top level guy Evan Bourne) for that talent.
And I will be keeping this guy the next two seasons, so please offer someone worth having for the long haul -- don't hit me with Khali or Fat Daddy V (wait, he's on my team! :)

Sorry Cliff, that sucks. Everything goes according to plan for once, you invest in a guy, he debuts with some wins etc. and then this mess.
Harris/Walker used to be so good in TNA, not sure what happened. They stripped him of his name, any decent gimmick, his finishing move etc. That coupled with looking slow and overweight was a bad combo. At least Monte Brown they let do what he did best... being The Alpha Male and using "The Pounce" etc.
America's Most Wanted is one of the best tag teams of the last decade, not sure how somebody so good at one point, could be a complete disaster a year later. As James Storm would say... "Sorry - about your damn luck"

AMW was an exciting team, because they were home grown. two singles guys - relative unknowns - put together into a duo that eventually grew into one of the best tag teams in the first half of this decade.
i always thought TNA screwed up by breaking them up, because they could have been THE face team for a long time.

"good" news for Bobo... Kennedy potentially out 4-6 months. So he's guaranteed to keep him and he'd be back sometime in Decemeber which isn't really a killer. A month into next season, which also means he has a good shot at keeping him for the following season. So not bad for him.

Randy Orton was recently involved in a motorcycle accident, re-injuring the collarbone that has kept him out of action since June, reports WWE.com.
Orton will be out of action for an additional three months as a result of the re-injuring of his collarbone.

I want to jump the gun here because its been speculated a lot...
If Phoenix/Santino win tomorrow and Beth claims the IC belt she'd obviously get IC points. But since it hasn't been defined would she be eligible for IC title points if they lost? Technically no mention has been made about who's going after what belt and the rumors and joking make it seem like she could take it and let Santino take the women's belt.
Would we ignore that possibility if they lose and score it normally?

I think Species is sleeping with angels...
Umaga suffered a knee injury at a Smackdown live event in Johnson City, Tenn. He was diagnosed with a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Surgery will not be required and he will be out 4-6 weeks. Umaga will be revaluated by doctors to see if he has made improvements.

#139 - I think you have to assume it's man-vs-man and woman-vs-woman in terms of title shots. But yes, if Beth gets the IC title (which would be hilarious - well, more hilarious that Santino is the women's champ!) she gets those points.
#140 - I don't think it's been a secret that something was wrong with Umaga. I don't think GO is concerned.

If by some chance one of the announcers mentions something like "If Santino and Beth win Santino could actually claim the Women's Title" would that be enough to give Beth the IC points if they lost?
All this said, I fully expect them to win tomorrow. I'm really curious to see if Vince goes for it and gives Santino the women's belt. That would be comedy gold. Only issue would be the devaluing of the IC belt by putting it on Beth.

My opinion is no. The "default" would be man-vs-man, woman-vs-woman. Only if they shake it up and put the IC on Beth would it count.
I'm open to everyone's opinion on it.

Tonight they will tape this Friday's Smackdown and next Tuesday's ECW. Therefore...
Week 22 Rosters will lock when the show begins taping this evening (my guess would be 7:30pm est)

Want to get some value for your leftovers?
I'm gonna be looking to trade Rude's "lowest 2nd round pick in Season 12" for a keeper of some sort.
I'd even package that 2nd rounder with say a young guy who just debuted like Gavin Spears (or the soon to return DH Smith).

raw spoiler
Shawn Michaels was injured at last night's Raw taping from St. Louis. I was told that it appeared Michaels injured his shoulder in the closing segment on Raw while in an altercation with Chris Jericho. Mike Johnson of the PWInsider website is reporting that it is believed to be a torn triceps muscle. The only word that I got was that the injury was believed to be significant.
