- Enzo Amore has a broken leg and could miss more than six months. He's hysterical. I'd recommend checking his stuff out.
- Scott Dawson has a torn ACL. What little I've seen of him I've also liked.
- Judas Devlin has some sort of spinal injury. I can't say I'm familiar with him.
Also of note, Corey Graves has returned to action after a concussion.
Big Show was notably limping at a recent WWE live event. That's not good with a major PPV just around the corner.
Update: Show was said to be moving really slow in the main event vs. Orton. How is that any different from normal? OOOH HO HO HO HO. After his match, he thanked everyone in attendance for all their support over the years. Show gets mad respect from me for how many years he's been in the business. He's still an important player and can be valuable in the right role.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Notable British wrestler Robbie Brookside is now a trainer in WWE's Performance Center. He will continue to do talent scouting work in Europe. WWE's really stacking that place up.
Billy Kidman is appearing in Europe as Paul Heyman's "personal physician". Surely a lot of fans recognize him as not being a doctor?
Originally, Heyman wasn't expected to return to TV without Brock Lesnar. WWE makes a lot of changes if you haven't noticed...
WWE changed doing Big E vs. Curtis Axel on Main Event because they wanted Big E on the European tour. The company seems really disorganized in some areas lately.
Lanny Poffo talked about Randy Savage and baseball.
>You will never hear Savage say OOOOOHHH YYYYEEEAAAAAHHHH on a WWE 2K15 ad.
Drew McIntyre worked as a face in Scotland, defeating The Great Khali. Technically that's a win over a former World Champion.
Chris Jericho talked about wrestling a bit in a recent interview. You don't see Haitch dressed as a French maid, do you? He's an A+ player for a reason. Seriously, though, interesting stuff as always from Y2J. Great thoughts about the current WWE roster.
Jim Ross had kind words for Kassius Ohno after his NXT release. TNA, you know wat do.
Justin Credible talked with Terry Funk about how to make a living in wrestling. What's sad is that a lot of the people who need to watch this won't watch it or take it to heart. Good to hear from The Funker. I miss that Foley feud.
The Washington Redskins have a replica WWE-esque championship. I like it! Good design.
Wade Barrett defeated Damien Sandow in the Smackdown dark match in the UK. Glad he got some recognition from WWE.
TNA has announced another big match for their "Old School" One Night Only PPV. I'd much rather see that than the ECW nostalgia bout.
Smackdown's audience this week was 2.95 million, a big jump from previous weeks. Glad to see it.
Mickie James is working as a guest trainer at WWE's Performance Center this week. Let those rumors start! For now, I'd just consider this a special appearance and not a sign of her possibly returning. Her music and independence might take priority over signing a deal.
Next week's Raw from Nashville, TN will be a "country" edition of the show.
Chris Hero (formerly Kassius Ohno) put out a press release about his WWE release. I really hope we see him make it big down the line. He's too damn talented to languish on the indy scene.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. They get mad at WWE all the time! Bring up John Cena or Daniel Bryan's booking and watch the anger unfold! As for me, I support companies that are doing things I like and bash companies that aren't.
2. There still seems to be some uncertainty over why exactly he was released. It might end up being a blessing in disguise where the two sides need some time apart before coming back together. That's what I'm hoping for anyway. Or maybe he goes to TNA and sparks a revolution there? Let's be optimistic.
3. There's so much wrong with this:
a. Bryan's still in the main event picture. He was just in the main event of Raw.
b. Final PPV buyrates aren't in for any show post-Summerslam.
c. Audiences can't "know" Cena's going to beat everyone. They can predict, but not know something hasn't happened yet.
As for their answer:
a. Vince blaming Bryan for the WrestleMania buyrate is news to me.
It's also important to note PPV price increases playing a role here. WWE's not blameless here, and there are issues with the booking of Cena and Bryan, but people are really misrepresenting things to paint Vince and Cena as the sole culprits.
4. You really want to see Bryan vs. Orton for FIVE PPVs in a row? People hated when we got too much of Sheamus vs. Del Rio in a year. I can't say I blame WWE for putting the blame on the relative newcomer to the main event scene over the guys who have headlined for years. WWE definitely needs to build new stars, but Orton vs. Big Show makes sense on the way to (hopefully) Bryan winning the title at WM30.
5. Obviously you care if you're commenting on it. Also:
>Jeff Jarrett is top champion in WCW or TNA
>JARRETT BROKE A THOUSAND GUITARS AND NEVER DREW A DIME. F*CK THIS COMPANY/LOLTNA.
>Jeff Jarrett is missing from TNA
>WHERE'S JEFF JARRETT? DON'T THEY KNOW HOW TO DRAW MONEY? LOLTNA.
The IWC will never be satisfied or convinced they're not right about something. Jesus. I also hope Double J returns soon, though. If for no other reason than that awesome theme song.
More wrestling tomorrow.
