Ranting and Raving

Hello peeps! I have been in tune with professional wrestling since 1992 and i've gotta say, this is a down period for the sport. In the WWE, we are seeing the same main events cycled to fit into 3 or 4 ppv cycles. WWE has also failed to keep the Nexus angle interesting, instead they opted to let "super Cena" obliterate them and make a few members look like complete losers. Look WWE, we realize this company has loads of backstory and history, but c'mon HHH and Vince, give us something that we haven't seen in the past 4 years. I'm sick to frikkin' death of lil' hornswoggle (horny) and for damn sure sick of the way Raw has turned into a ratings disaster. I remember in 1998 Raw would easily pull a 6.5 or so rating. My personal opinion is that for one, they should kill that damned brand extension IMMEDIATELY! What's the point of having an extension when you hardly have a roster anymore? The same guys fight each other every week. Example: Kofi vs Ziggler, Super Cena vs random Nexus member). You would think the logical thing to do would be to watch TNA but WAIT! You will see the most god-awful acting i've ever seen from Dixie Carter (please sell the damn company already)! Not to mention the amount of criminals and losers on the roster in recent years.. Pacman Jones, Jeff Hardy, Jim Neidhart, RVD, Sean Waltman, Scott Hall). C'mon TNA.. Stop trying to be the WCW of the 90s is sad and desperate!!! Well, this is Damon the wrestling fan who is very frustrated and confounded by today's industry.. WWE won't even call it wrestling or their guys wrestlers anymore.. WTF?? I'm signing out peeps.. PEACE AND LUV!!!

Paul London "Weighs In" on the Matt Hardy Situation

Yesterday we reported on Matt Hardy's recent troubles with WWE, today the ever interesting/entertaining (depending on how you look at him) Paul London gives his......."thoughts" on the situation.  London and Hardy are far from best friends, as they've had some backstage drama from a few years back over Ashley Massaro, and London is never afraid to give some thoughts on Matt Hardy, as evident by this video. When Hardy is gone from WWE, promoters better be careful not to book these two on the same show, as there could definitely be some heated and very real results.

Jeff Hardy court hearing

On 9/9, the rainbow haired one is going to appear in court in The Superior Court of Moore County in Carthage, NC. The charges Hardy is facing are as follows-
* Possession of cocaine.
* trafficking of opium
* Intent to distribute
* possession of drug paraphernelia

Hardy is facing quite a long time in prison should he be found guilty, and it makes me wonder could this be the last of Jeff Hardy. Better enjoy him on TNA Impact! while you can.

Breaking News: NXT's Aloisa Already Gone from WWE?

When it was announced that NXT season 3 would be an all Diva's season, the immediate thought was that there may be less interest in the season.  The Diva's aren't pushed as much else but filler these days, unlike the past when the Diva's could main event once in awhile.  But then the announcement that a 6'9 amazon would be part of the season really stirred up interest.  "Aloisa" aka "Isis the Amazon" on the indy scene, was the first really non cookie cutter diva that WWE has signed in years.  Chyna got over for being different, but since her there has pretty much been a template WWE follows with Diva's.  Now the chance to see a 6'9 giant diva pummeling the competition was an interesting thought.

Sadly, it looks like all of that is over before everything begins.  Out of the blue earlier today, WWE removed all pics and mentions of Aloisa from wwe.com, and later posted a message saying her NXT pro Vickie Guerrero had "fired her" and will be debuting a new protege this Tuesday.  The only guess here is that WWE jumped the gun with Aloisa, and she was nowhere near ready to be in the ring.  Reports have said that she was still very green on the indy scene, and it's possible WWE chose to throw her in the mix based on her look alone.  We will update this if any further details on the reasoning for Aloisa's removal become clear.
