Couple Of Updates From the Crypt

As of January 16th 2009, Bob 'Hardcore'Holly is officially released from his WWE Contract

TNA's Legitiamte InjuredList:
Steve 'Sting' Borden
'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner
'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash, Who has also Signed a new 3 year TNA Contract
Christy Hemme
Awsome Kong
Robert Roode
'King Of the Mountain' Jeff Jarret
Frankie 'Kaz/Suicide' Kazarian

I feel all these injurys plus the fact that steve 'sting' borden and Brother Ray are both condsidering retirment after this year, count as huge blows to TNA we will have to see if TNA can survive through this inury list. And it isnt only TNA that are losing out WWE have released some big names and some not so big names, The only thing that some people can take comfort in is that WWE are trying to get Trish Stratus for Wrestlemania and Gail Kim making her TNA In ring return soon.

Hardy as champion, HBK/ JBL storyline

Hello wrestling fans and haters. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a joyful New Year. I just wanted to touch on the two major storylines developing on Raw and Smackdown. Since my last post, Jeff Hardy finally did it. He became WWE Champion after nearly two years of fans screaming for it to happen. I personally thought it was done very well and am extremely pleased to see the most popular face on the show actually win. I wanted WWE to wait and save the culmination of a Hardy/Edge fued for Wrestlemania 25 after Hardy won the Royal Rumble but they can make this work too. I do like how they have instantly threw him into a contreversial storyline with some unknown attacker apparently trying to take him out. Now I know many of us have a good idea of who this assailant is going to turn out to be but this is a really intriguing way of bringing him back. It also makes me believe that this time around the WWE is going to push him as a main event guy instead of a mid carder like last time he was here. For you fans who don't know who I am talking about here, just scroll down and read. I personally don't like giving out spoilers but some do. I have nothing against those who do it's just not my thing. Back to the subject though. There are so many angles they can begin of off this and I am intersted to see where it all goes. Now for the Raw HBK/JBL storyline. I will be honest with you guys-at first i thought this was a pile of trash. Are we supposed to sit here and just accept that one of the biggest stars in wrestling history(Shawn Michaels) is broke? When I first seen this one developing I felt insulted as a wrestling fan. But now after a few weeks of it I have drawn a different conclusion. JBL is still a great heel and HBK is 1 of the best in-ring actors of all time. They have actually managed to make this thing an amazing story! Every week I find myself wondering if this will be the week that HBK will finally stand up to Layfield or will this be the week he turns heel and tells all the fans he cares more about money than he does them. It's the main thing I watch Raw for now. I have came close at times to forgetting who the champion even was ever since SuperCena won it back but this keeps me watching. Keep it up WWE. This is why I watch-storylines that have a big payoff in the end (Hardy soryline) and storylines that keep fans emotionally involved( HBK/JBL storyline).

WWE's New Show with WGN


WWE has announced a new Two year contract with WGN America for its newest TV Show 'WWE Superstars' The show its self will not feature any recapping moments from all three brands,and will only feature WWE superstars that were popular at one time eg D-Lo Brown, Ricky Ortiz, Goldust, Jamie Noble and are now struggling to get onto the main card on the Three brands.

I feel this is almost a slap in the face to these superstars that were big in independant Wrestling orginisations or big in the WWE/WCW or ECW, a few years back. The hours they are hoping to air the show will come into conflict with Spikes Total Nonstop action wrestling(TNA) as the new wwe show will air and hour before and straight after tna goes off the air.

I believe this is Vinces attempt at getting to TNA, and with tna growing in popularity all round the world including the UK and Japan, i feel that this is vinces way of trying to bring in more veiwers.

Maybe because his other 6 shows arent pulling the veiwers like they used to?

WWE/TNA Angles getting sick?


To introduce Christian Cage to his new WWE contract, its rumoured that theres going to be an angle involing WWE Chamion/Ex TNA superstar Jeff hardy and his fiancee in which both of them are supposed to be part of a hit and run automoblile accident in jeffs home townand has been said they may reveal Christian as the driver, the angle will show jeff to make a recovery but his fiancee will be seriously injured, it has also been rumoured that Christian has been spotted around The RAW arena during the tapings,

If this is shown to be the storyline i would lose alot of respect for Chrisitan and the WWE, but i have always felt that storylines in both WWE and TNA were always a Bit outlandish and absurd, Take Kane and Triple H's Fued in 2002, When Triple H reveald Kane comittited necrophilia on a a girl called Katie Vick, Or in TNA when It showed Abyss's manager James Mitchell was rele his father and abyss had shot him in the back several times.

I would love to see wrestling storylines being brung back to simpler times but still have all the high flying hard hitting hardcore action we see today.
