LOL,I was upset there for a minute untill you said that.

Unless I missed it, Undertaker was not on AGAIN

I think there going to let Taker's hair grow before he really makes an apperance.I'll try to dig up some info about him if there is any.

According to the spoilers, he comes out AFTER the show is done being taped. That is so freaking stupid.

Yeah, that is stupid. I agree with Drfatality, they are likely keeping him off tv until he grows his hair longer, or until they figure out something to do with him, either way, when he comes back, it'll be big.

A bit of news:

A & E will be running the Biography episodes of The Rock, Andre the Giant, and Stone Cold Steve Austin starting on Sunday night at 8pm ET/PT.

USA Today ran an article on the sexual harassment case filed against WWE, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, and Dustin Runnels.

I actually thought SmackDown! was pretty good this week.

The matches were pretty good except for that Big show/rikishi crap.

and the ending with Eddie stealing Bradshaw's hat was pretty funny.

Not too much news on Undertaker but I have this:

According to WrestlingObserver.com, a very negative article about "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is about to come out in the April 12th issue of the "National Enquirer".

Those who have read the two-or-three page article say it paints a nasty picture of Austin. Alcohol and his domestic abuse history will likely be brought up.
===============Leave Stone Cold alone Im not saying it was right for him to throw his wife down a flight of stairs but maybe she did something to get him upset.Either way he shouldnt have done that.LOL at Rick Flair it reminds me of that movie Anger Managemant WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!How old is Rick Flair anyway?

I honestly don't know, but I just wish he'd retire soon, don't get me wrong, he is tremendously talented. He's one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but I think he has already reached his peak in the past, and it's time to just let it go already. Please do not flame me or insult me for posting this, I'm simply stating my opinion, and let's be honest here everyone here on this forum is entitled to their own opinion.(No matter how stupid it is)

It's hard to let go of the past.......

FYI, I posted this already, but I have to agree with you, everyone should just leave Austin alone. I don't know if any of this crap is true, for all we know, his girlfriend likely got pissed at him for breaking up with her, so to get her 15 seconds of fame, she's going to make up all this crap to get him into trouble again. I still don't even think the whole mess with Debra was true.

I think Flair is a goof now, and should do us all a favor and quit wrestling, I can't stand to see his manboobs flopping everywhere when he's in the ring "wrestling" and just stay on as an agent or an advisor to Evolution. BTW, I think he's 55 or something.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DDP has decided to return to the ring, he will be wrestling for an Indy federation. His doctor has warned him that his return may cause him paralysis.

Although Booker T is happy with his new push, recent back troubles may cause him to retire within the next year.

WWE Signs New Talent; Sends Wrestler Back To OVW:

WWE has signed Jimmy Snuka Jr. to a developmental contract. He'll be assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling.

Apparently, WWE management has decided that Matt Morgan isn't ready for television yet, and has sent him back to OVW for further training.


Rene Dupree's Push:

It is no secret that many within WWE feel Rene Dupree has the potential to go on and become a main-event player in the company, however, many are concerned his push has come too soon. The consensus is that Dupree should be pushed eventually, but not at this stage. There is concern that his push may end up hurting John Cena more than helping Dupree.

According to those within NWA TNA, it appears as if the company has either struck a television deal with Fox Sport Network or that they are extremely close to getting one. Most sources in the locker room are saying that the first show will air in June. To give an example of how confident the people in the locker room are concerning the deal they are now saying, "Once we get on Fox Sports Net," when holding discussions concerning the future of the company. Once the company does officially come to terms with Fox Sports, it is expected that they will scrap their Wednesday night pay per view concept. The schedule would include TNA taping the shows to air on Fox Sport Network on Thursday in Orlando, FL and having a traditional pay per view once a month on Sunday nights. The general feeling is that TNA's TV deal with Fox Sports Net will be finalized soon if it hasn't been already. The first show is expected to air in June. TNA management is apparently already saying "Once we get on Fox Sports Net..." when talking about future plans. The plan seems to be to drop the weekly PPVs completely once a TV deal is struck. The company would then run one Sunday PPV per month. (Torch)

Pretty good f'n news if you ask me.

Not too many people know.Samt thing with Luna nobody knows what happened to her.

Sean O'haire being fired is the biggest bullshit ever. He had a cool gimick going before they stuck him with Roddy Piper. And he had a cool look to him to.

Sucks that they fire him, yet, they keep worthless peices of shit like Matt Morgan, John hekxioehech, and Steven Richards around. nice job, Vince.

As for Terri. Eh, when was the last time the bitch was on TV anyways.

That sucks about Sena O'Haire, he had alot of potential, but they never took him out of Velocity, and he rarely ever appeared on Smackdown. Is that one guy John Heidenrich still with the WWF?
