CM Punk Trashes WWE

After Raw went off the air, Michael Cole announced to the crowd in Las Vegas that WWE has suspended CM Punk indefinitely. Of course, this is all a work guys. Obviously they would have cut his mic off way earlier if it was a legit shoot. 

They did a tremendous job with it though. While some people backstage knew it was coming, CM Punk's shoot promo on Monday Night RAW certainly had everyone buzzing. 

When Punk started talking about being "a Paul Heyman guy," and referenced controversial, past WWE names like Brock Lesnar, many wrestlers watching on the monitor were said to be "simply and solidly stunned."


The following commented on CM Punk's Raw promo: 

Mick Foley: 
"I have no idea where this @cmpunk thing might go, but I know I'll be watching. Captivating stuff." 

Steve Austin: 
"@CMPunk just melted my 52 inch TV with a scorching hot promo...delivery, content, and attitude...one of the best promos I've ever seen." 

Taz: 
"Punk did a great job & I always liked him when we were in wwe together and his work! But I must say... There r many of us who were NEVER pushed to the level Punk was & were NEVER allowed to shoot like that, he's lucky he was allowed to do that. But it was very strong & real!! I liked a lot! Good stuff Punk!" 

Maryse: 
"@CMPunk for President of the United-States...." 

MVP: 
"@CMPunk stayed at my house saturday night & we had a very in depth convo. I haven't seen the promo. But I'm sure my friend made me proud! ..."

CM Punk's current storyline was continued at Friday's RAW live event in Sydney, Australia. Ring announcer Tony Chimel announced at the start of the show that Punk was suspended by WWE but had agreed to fulfill his contract and appear at the event. Punk trashed the McMahon family, among others, before his mic was cut off once again. He then lost to Rey Mysterio in the show's opening match. 

WWE officials are hoping CM Punk's RAW promo and storyline will help to generate more PPV buys for their Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Dolph Ziggler Dating A Pornstar

Randy Orton appeared on 98KUPD's Real Rock on Tuesday promoting this week's SmackDown tapings in Arizona. During the interview, one of the hosts said Ziggler, who resides in Phoenix, is dating adult film star BiBi Jones. He said Ziggler met Jones at a recent Britney Spears concert. You can't make this sh*t up guys!
 

It should be noted that Ziggler and Brie Bella had been dating on and off for several years. According to a backstage source, the duo split several months ago.

Jones posted a tweet saying she is not romantically involved with Ziggler. Jones tweeted the following via Twitter.com/xxxbibijones: "This isn't true... I'm not dating him! lol geez guys"

Ziggler followed up with the following tweet: "wow! to anyone it may concern: no, i am NOT dating anyone! and YES i do frequently listen to britney spears!"

Macho Man Randy Savage's Real Cause Of Death

Pinellas County Medical Examiner has confirmed that Randy Savage died from a serious "cardiac event" he suffered moments before wrecking his vehicle. Savage suffered from cardiovascular disease, and the "cardiac event" was a result of the condition. 

An autopsy by the Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner's Office revealed Savage had an enlarged heart with severe atherosclerosis of his coronary arteries. He suffered only minor abrasions and bruising from the May 20 crash in Seminole, Florida. "He had sustained no trauma from that crash," said William Pellan, the medical examiner's office director of investigations. "So the crash had nothing to do with his death. He just happened to be driving when he had a cardiovascular event." Pellan added that he may have had a heart attack. He may have had some type of arrhythmia and his heart stopped beating, or his heart may have simply stopped beating. "We don't see evidence of it (a heart attack) because he died right away," Pellan said.

According to the toxicology report, Savage tested positive for alcohol and he opiate hydrocodone during the time of his death, but it is noted that they did not play a role in his death. A USA Today article notes that steroid use was not implicated in his cause of death.

Linda Hogan Claims Warrior Is Gay

Hulk Hogan's Ex-Wife
Not that I really give a shit what Linda Hogan has to say, it should be noted that she has a book coming out called "Wrestling The Hulk" and she makes all kinds of horrible claims about Hulk Hogan from what I hear, though I'm sure this is one book I will never read. 

I mean, she left her husband, took everything he ever had, he is now forced to come back out of retirement and work for TNA and write another book about how horrible his life is now and how he was going to kill himself. Now she is writing her own book saying what a bad guy he was. Hasn't she done enough shit to him yet?  

The only other reason I am even mentioning any of this is because while promoting her book on the KQRS morning show she addressed The Ultimate Warrior's recent comments about an "open marriage" she had. She denies she had an open marriage: "It's shock value. There's no truth to it as far as I'm concerned. As far as my life and what I've done and where I've been, absolutely no truth to it at all", she said. 

Her New Boyfriend
The other reason I am mentioning this is the most amusing of all... She claims Warrior is "gay" but she doesn't even know who he is: 

"I don't even know that guy. I've seen him behind the scenes at wrestling events back in the day. He's never been to our house. My kids don't know him. I've never met him other than hi or bye at an event. The truth is I don't know what my husband said to him. I don't know what they did behind the scenes. I wasn't even aware what my husband was doing in our marriage behind the scenes recently. In fact, the rumor is that Warrior is gay."

So she has ruined Hulk Hogan's life, is living in his mansion driving his cars, with her 20 year old boyfriend, writing books that rip him apart, and while promoting her book claims that a wrestler, who she admits she never knew, is apparently gay lol. 

My only real question... when did sleeping with a famous person make your opinions matter?

Jeff Hardy Rehab?

Jeff Hardy
According to a backstage source, TNA Wrestling officials want Jeff Hardy to enter a rehabilitation facility. Hardy, who was accompanied by his wife, appeared at the Moore County Courthouse in Moore County, North Carolina on Monday to face drug trafficking charges related to his September 2009 arrest. His court hearing was once again pushed back. Something was supposed to go down today but we haven't heard anything as of this writing. As of now, all signs point to a deal being reached with Hardy agreeing to undergo some type of drug rehabilitation. We shall see.

Zack Ryder WWE Internet Champion?

I've noticed there has been a lot of buzz around mid-card nobody Zack Ryder. He has not been featured on Raw, Smackdown, or any WWE PPVs in recent memory, and yet at every show lately there have been "we want Ryder" chants from the crowds. 

His Two Catchphrases: "You Know It" & "Woo Woo Woo!"
Internet Champion

According to Wikipedia
Ryder began a YouTube web series called Z!, True Long Island Story in February 2011. The show is a collection of short comments from Ryder, containing comedic allusions to wrestling and pop culture; it also features cameos from his various WWE colleagues. On the show, Ryder named himself WWE Internet Champion, a title he invented for himself complete with a championship made from a toy replica belt covered in stickers.He has appeared on Monday Night Raw wearing this belt.
