She does, but God why can't this guy do something to get divorced from McMahonagement so we can have a realistic title picture??

So, you know how I like to mention I don't get the weird way CM Punk is booked...
Last night was a prime example. Just to cover history, immediately after WM, he loses clean to Jericho (which is okay, nothing wrong with that). Loses again (IIRC) after that. Then last week on Raw, he loses to Regal for King of the Ring (which is okay, Regal's the perfect King character...), after beating Matt Hardy and Jericho clean. And then last night, he gets utterly obliterated by...Chuck Polumbo. On ECW, a show he was champion on not too long ago. This is your the MitB winner. Made to look like a 90 pound weakling against a midcarder. I don't get it. Why did they give him the briefcase. (In other MitB weirdness, Shelton Benjamin lost clean again to Kofi Kingston; they're pushing that cat to the moon. Which is fine, he's entertaining...) |

As noted earlier, a person by the name of Matthew Randazzo plans on writing a book on WWE called "Ring of Hell." It will be released in July by Phoenix Books. The book will chronicle the use of racial slurs on the part of WWE executives in the workplace. One WWE writer told Randazzo: "Brother Love and Michael Hayes would also routinely make racist jokes. I heard them use the 'n' word a few times."
Randazzo also claimed that a WWE production member asked him to release the following statement anonymously: Michael Hayes 60-day suspension for allegedly making racist comments comes as no surprise to anyone who has ever worked with him. Since Stephanie took over the reigns of Creative, bringing him on-board after Russo and Ferrera left for WCW, Hayes has been a racist boor making n-jokes at every writers' meeting -- until one day that he was shocked and offended that Stephanie hired an African-American Writer's Assistant in 2003. Stephanie called this talented young man in for an interview while Hayes was on holiday since she knew that Hayes being on the interview panel would have led to Hayes saying something racist and causing a lawsuit even before the African American candidate for the job was hired (every potential writer is interviewed by every sitting member of the writing teams of all shows in a panel format, prior to meeting with Stephanie). He was eventually hired. When Hayes found out that an African-American was hired for the job, he thought that he was being ribbed. He said to someone who used to work at the WWE at the time who wishes to remain anonymous: 'Hired WHAT as a writer? I didn't know those boys can even write their name. Let's take bets on how long he will last here.' Needless to say, the African-American writer lasted less than 4 months at WWE Creative, with Hayes constantly burying him to Stephanie; and he actually made racist jokes in front of the said writer. The writer never made a formal complaint, which boggles the mind, and it allowed Hayes to continue on in his position. Since the African-American writer, at least two other visible minorities have been hired by Stephanie, and always when Hayes is on vacation. Only one has survived more than 6 months, and that is current writer Dave Kapoor, who is of East-Indian descent. For the record, Hayes has made fun of him constantly whenever Kapoor isn't around, calling him and The Great Khali 'Our two resident sand-[n-words].' Several other people within WWE backed up this and other stories regarding Hayes this past week. |

To add to that story Hayes apparently dropped the N word to Mark Henry saying "i'm more N- than you are" He should feel fortunate Mark didn't kill him...
He's also supposedly the reason Lashley and Kristall wanted out of the company. |

All this Hayes talk is BS. I refuse to believe that a guy who wore the confederate flag as a cape for his ring entrance might be a racist.

They gave him the briefcase because sometime in the next year he will get a title match. It doesnt mean they will book him like the world champion until it happens. Edge won MITB and was losing to Kane and Matt Hardy. RVD lost to Shelton Benjamin and Spirit Squad after he won MITB. The briefcase doesnt mean jack until they decide its time to do the title match.

They're booking him right now the same way they've been booking him for over a year. He'll win one week and look great. He'll lose the next week and look like the worst guy in the company. It's very...weird. |

Such is the life of a midcarder. It's no big deal.

Oh my fucking god.
Hulk Hogan series lands at CMT 'Celebrity Championship Wrestling' to debut this fall By Kimberly Nordyke May 2, 2008, 01:00 AM CMT is getting in the wrestling ring with Hulk Hogan. The network has ordered eight episodes of the competition series "Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling" for a fall debut. The series will feature 10 celebrities competing for the title of "Celebrity All-Star Wrestling Champion" through challenges and elimination matches. Two former pro wrestlers will train the contestants, with Hogan and former World Championship Wrestling president Eric Bischoff serving as judges. A third judge along with the competitors and trainers will be announced later. Hogan is credited as creator and executive producer of the series with Bischoff and Jason Hervey of Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment.
