Last year we posted about Elite Xtreme Wrestling in Phoenix, Arizona making some innovative moves by streaming their shows live on the Internet. Now EXW is making headlines again after reviving an idea WCW tried in 1990 - bringing Robocop into the pro wrestling world.
In 1990, Sting had just been kicked out of the four horsemen and then went on to blow out his knee the very same night. Sting was set to make his on screen return at the WCW Capital Combat PPV, and was in definite need of some backup. No one saw it coming when it was announced that the one and only Robocop would be backing Sting up, seemingly read to kick the Horsemen's ass. What followed was an angle that has been brought up ever since, because it was so flat and involved no action. Sting got locked in a cage by the Horsemen, Robocop appears, he takes the door off the cage and Sting is free. Yep, all the hype, all the anticipation, then Robocop takes a door off it's hinges, and leaves. Check out the video:

Well the infamous WCW angle has been considered "wrestlecrap" for years now, but EXW brought Robocop out of his 21 year wrestling retirement as he appeared at their most recent show. Apparently EXW wrestler "Johnny Manson" has been coming out in recent weeks as different wrestling personas, this week he came out in Bret Hart gear. Robocop had apparently seen enough, and took him into custody for the crime of identity theft. It all happened pretty fast, but it looks like Robocop at least got to interact with a wrestler this time unlike the WCW fiasco. Check out the video:
Elite Xteme Wrestling has their big "Xtreme Measures" show this Sunday in Phoenix that will feature Tough Enough's Bill DeMott, Tommy Dreamer, Val Venis, and Johnny "The Bull" Stambolli.....no word if Robocop will be back to fight more pro wrestling crimes.

Val Venis Shoots on the Hardy's and More
For those who are unaware, former WWE star Val Venis has been on a crusade as of late to tear apart and trash Matt Hardy and virtually everyone he is associated with, including his brother Jeff. Val has been voicing his opinions on his Twitter page on Matt's talent, his background, the way he presents himself online, and everything else about the Hardy's careers.
Now Val has taken things a step further, as he posted the following video tonight, where he once again trashes the Hardys, and even head Smackdown writer Michael Hayes who was influential in the early WWE careers of the Hardys. Val has also trashed the Hardy's "OMEGA" promotion that they ran in their years prior to WWE, and has been rumored to possibly start again in the future. Val has endorsed the promotion "Elite Xtreme Wrestling" that he works for in Arizona, claiming it features real pro wrestling unlike OMEGA's "trampoline backyard wrestling."
Matt Hardy has yet to comment directly about this situation, claiming he won't respond to negativity, but Venis has been in a war with Hardy fans for over a week now, and things are sure to heat up once this video makes the rounds across the net:
For Val Venis fans in Arizona, he will be appearing at the big EXW "Bad Intentions" show taking place this weekend in Prescott, Arizona. Venis will be challenging for the promotions heavyweight title. Also on the card are former WWE star and Tough Enough Trainer Bill Demott, and former TNA star "Rellik." More information on the official Elite Xtreme Wrestling website.
