The hits keep on coming for the WWE. FYW cobbled together news on three different subjects, and by golly, he's turned it into one Bluebird of Happiness-type post of doom. Re: the visas, both McPoyle and Barrett are going to be out past SummerSlam per Meltzer, and they're indicating that Sheamus could be next (please God no, after last night, Sheamus is the last guy that needs to be deported). Chris Jericho's contract is also up in the fall, and he hasn't re-upped yet. My guess is if Downfall takes off, he's out like trout.
But the real pisser? CM Punk had surgery on his arm and is out for up to 8 weeks according to The Site That Shall Not Be Linked. Oh no, it's not like Smackdown isn't thin up top already. Wow, my sarcasm is thick tonight, isn't it? Anyway, I'm guessing since he's out and McPoyle is in Scotland, they'll have to get snappy with their replacements in the Smackdown Money in the Bank ladder match, since I can only assume they were supposed to be in it. At this point, if neither Christian nor Cody Rhodes wins the briefcase, I'm really not interested at all in it.
Have a wonderful evening, wrestling fans.
Remember you can contact TH and ask him questions about wrestling, life or anything else. Please refer to this post for contact information. He always takes questions!
can i ask where the "Site that shall not be linked" reference came from? guessing it's PWInsider. they dicks about linking or something?
ReplyDeleteYep. PWInsider. They're owned by Scherer, and there's some resentment on my part due to his role in the 1Wrestling boards and the A1Wrestling split from them. But, more importantly, his site is littered with spyware, even moreso than Dot Net or the Torch (both of which are bad but not deadly). My computer got infected from going there once. Never chancing it again.
ReplyDeleteahh. gotya. i've never ventured onto the boards but have been an elite guy since they left 1wrestling. from what i can tell, the elite version is spyware free.
ReplyDeletebut yeah. i understand your resentment. :) was just curious on the backstory.
**Smackdown spoiler**
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the Smackdown spoilers, I wouldn't be surprised if they turned Christian. It's pretty lopsided now (five faces and one heel in the ladder match), and they're not turning Rey, Show, or Matt Hardy. I don't think they care enough about MVP to turn him, and Kane is Kane. Christian's an awesome face, but if a turn led to him finally being elevated, I guess I'd be for it.
If Downfall has anything to do with Jericho's WWE future then I'm sure he'll be around for quite a while. No way that show gets picked up past the summer.
