The Trips attack on Londrick was utterly ****ing bizarre. It had no purpose, other than to bury one of the few tag teams left on the roster.

[Ultra Peanut]

Oh, I suppose I have just the thing.

It was like "Well, we don't have Stone Cold to give stunners to everyone anymore, so Trips Aitch can fill that role." Odd.

Holy shit, Monty Brown got released. Apparently it may have been a mutual thing.



For a thousand summers I will wait for you
If it takes forever I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you

Till I hear you sigh here in my arms
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
Every day remember how I love you so
That forevermore I'll wait for you

Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever I will wait for you

That sucks. I still like "The Alpha Male, Monty Brown" better than Marcus Cor Von.

Can't say I blame the guy. EC-dub was going to be all about Punk, John Morrison, Burke, with a sprinkling of Big Daddy V and Cor Von in the mid-card.

[Ultra Peanut]

Yeah, he's apparently gone through a lot after the death in his family, and if he's happy enough doing his personal trainer thing, I guess it makes sense to not bother getting back into wrestling. Still, I was really looking forward to seeing him come back. As good as ECW is, a little more depth with the re-addition of an upper carder would have been nice. He could have even come back as a face and demolished Thorne on his way to a feud with Burke, or something.

I still don't even understand how Dusty and ECW do it. The top of the roster looked AMAZING with Punk, Burke, Benoit, and Cor Von, and even with the loss of those last two, they turned Johnny Nitro into someone you can actually buy as a champion and managed to get some really good stuff out of Viscera and the ****ing Boogeyman. Then, to round things out, they've used Stevie and Balls incredibly well, to boot.

At this point, ECW honestly feels a lot like you'd imagine an ECW with less blood and higher production values would feel. It's like they're sitting in the back, Dusty says, "Hey, you guys go have a good match," and they do it.

Whoa, the Torch is claiming that this is a letter the WWE is sending to former employees:

Over the last ten years, an inordinate number of wrestlers have passed away. Some of those deaths may in part have been caused by drugs and alcohol.

In an effort to prevent such tragedies in the future, the WWE is willing to pay for drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation at a certified treatment chosen by WWE for any performer with a prior WWE booking contract who may need this service. The WWE will pay for this service in full.

There is no cost to you or your family. Help will be provided regardless of the circumstances of your departure from the WWF or the amount of time you performed for the WWE.

If you do not have a drug and/or alcohol problem, but know you know a former WWE performer who does, we are asking you to try to help them by encouraging them to take advantage of this opportunity.

Liz Difabio has been appointed as a representative in this matter. Liz has been with the company for over 24 years and has been directly involved with the majority of WWE performers who have received treatment for substance abuse. She understands emotions that individuals and family members go through in this process. Any conversation you have with Liz will remain confidential and will not be released to the public.

In many instances, an individual in need of help is in denial and will not want rehabilitation. There are professional intervention companies that will help persuade that person that they need treatment. Liz will be able to facilitate such interventions, should they be necessary. An intervention and treatment will be at the cost of WWE exclusively.

This service is being provided for performers with a prior WWE booking contract only. No family or friends. Please reach out to Liz if you think you might have a drug or alcohol problem or if you know someone who does. We all need to do anything we can to help prevent another tragedy.

Sincerely,

Vincent K. McMahon
Chairman, World Wrestling Entertainment

Good on Vince if that's valid.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANH

Raw last week was awful in a bizarre, twisted, somehow hilarious way.

This week was just ****ing worthless.

[Reaper16]

Is it bad that I, kayfabe wise, now hate Hornswaggle? I mean, the little bastard helped Cena keep the title.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I'd rather Cena actually drop the title to Orton, but that's about as likely as a Chiefs SB appearance this year.

It's going straight to HHH

FigureFourWeekly posted:

Here's what I can tell you. This past June, prior to Benoit's death, Court Bauer, a creative team member who was recently released, approached the rest of the staff with an idea for either bringing back Jericho or introducing the New Hart Foundation. I guess he'd gotten the new Nine Inch Nails CD and was impressed with the viral marketing campaign they'd done, which included things like leaving zip drives on merchandise tables at live events, which fans would find, take home, and discover new videos or songs on. The idea was to do something similar on Raw, something "Jerichocentric" that would basically be an updated version of the countdown clock which he debuted to in 1999. Ideas included websites set up by third parties (so as not to be traced to WWE, and to ensure there wasn't an obvious WWE feel to them), deals on Youtube and TV, mystery ads on WWE.com (for example, in the Hart Foundation idea, maybe a "public service announcement" about heart attacks that when you clicked it would take you to a Calgary-related website). In other words, very similar to the ROH Project 161 storyline, except the idea was that it would be a fun thing that fans could get excited about in trying to crack the code, as opposed to something creepy involving stalkers or blood or emos. At the time, the rest of the team loved it, but hadn't talked to Jericho about it yet, and then things went into disarray when the Benoit tragedy and everything related to it went down. One of the keys to it, which is the main reason I suspect that this is what save_us.222 is all about, is that there would be clues indicating that this was all about Jericho (the music CD thing for example), but also deliberate misdirects and red herrings (WrestleMania 99). Again, this may have nothing to do with Jericho but it does seem very similar to the original idea, plus the feeling is that one way or another he's coming back soon.

Oh good, we're already into the "insider terms" phase of Russo's 2-year plan to ruin a company.
