Wait...
are you telling me...
that Scott Steiner is as good as gone??? Why?!? Are you saying I'm never ever going to see Scott Steiner wrestle ever again, or hold the world heavyweight title?! Why is it so risky to have him in matches?!

Well, the WWE thinks Steiner is injury prone, and they don't want to take the risk of headlining him if he is just going to get injured again. I think that is it. There may be more to it than that.

The more to it is that he is a shitty, stiff worker in the ring.

^That too. I do remember him being stiff while working in the ring. Not much fun if ya ask me.

Just waych his match with HHH at Royal Rumble 2003, and you'll see why.

I don't know how "on the ball" this is but I saw it and thought it might interest some of you.

- Tajiri is currently taking time off to be with his wife in Japan. His wife recently gave birth to a baby boy.

- Both Test and Scott Steiner have been medically cleared to return to the ring but WWE has no plans to use them anytime soon. WWE is planning to just let Scott Steiner's contract run itself out.

- Some are now rumbling that Shawn Michaels hiatus may extend past Summerslam.

- Christian's back spasms have gotten much better but he is still a few weeks away from wrestling again.

- At this point, many feel that Christopher Nowinski will never be able to wrestle again due to his concussion syndrome.

- There is some talk of adding a second WWE training ground outside of OVW. One potential spot is the Trax training center in Connecticut. WWE is also looking to team up with a New England based indy promotion to serve as a developmental area.

- Word backstage is that Johnny Ace's power and respect backstage continues to grow.

- P.J. Wilson, the tag team partner of Harry Smith (Davey Boy Smith's son), had a private tryout with WWE recently. Wilson plans to go to college before joining WWE but has apparently been told by Vince McMahon that he has a job waiting for him.

I think its kinda retarded that when "creative has nonthing for you". the wrestlers are the ones getting fired (ex: Kanyon, O'haire). Shouldn't the writers be the ones that should get the boot? The wrestlers arn't the ones doing anything wrong, the writers are the ones that arn't doing thier freakin job when they don't have anything for you.

Although I wouldn't mind if they fired Scott Steiner. he just plain sucks.

You bring up a damn good point, the writers are the ones that need to be fired, they have a ton of useful talent, if they realease them, it may come back to haunt them. Those writers suck ass.

That is so true. Vince just needs to fire all their lazy asses and get some fresh idea makers.

Oh my god, Scott Steiner kicks ass.

Whoa! Kanyon was fired?!? He was awsome. "Who better than Kanyon?" What's the deal?

Zentile Wrote: Oh my god, Scott Steiner kicks ass.

LMMFAO. Seriously tho, I used to really like Steiner. I haved liked him since the Steiners were tagging. He used to be able to move in the ring and actually do more than 4 moves in the ring. But since he has gotten so big, he moves like an old ass Kevin Nash, sorry Nash fans but you know what im talking about.

But now he sux, he cant sell, he cant pull off simple moves other than belly to belly suplexes and a Steiner recliner, wtf lol. I for one am glad he is not in the ring embarrasing himself and making fans like me who used to watch him and like him, feel sorry for him and laugh at him for being a shitty worker now.

DONT USE DRUGS KIDS (Steroids included)

Yeah, we all agree that Steiner should just leave, and keep himself free of further embarassement in the ring. The_Kosai, I already posted all of that news, but thanks! DrCube, Kanyon was fired awhile ago, simply because he sucks and WWE had nothing for him. Don't be surprised to see Steiner or Kanyon or Test in TNA in the future.

Torrie-Stacy Move In Together, Rock/RAW Tonight, Heat On RVD:

Both Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler are trying to get into the movie industry as actresses and have bought an apartment together in Los Angeles.

Seems there is some backstage heat on Rob Van Dam lately with some saying that RVD has been arriving late for events "one too many times."

The rumor is that the Rock may be making a run-in during the HHH/Eugene match tonight on RAW. The Rock has been rumored numerous times to make a 'cameo' in the past, and nothing ever came of it so it is not concrete.

Major News & Preview Concerning RAW Tonight:
The following is from WWE.com:
FUTURE IMPERFECT
June 21, 2004

The game may finally be up for Eugene this week on RAW. After compounding a truly astounding streak of Monday night perfection with a pay-per-view win at Bad Blood, Eugene squares off against new “friend” Triple H in Miami. By luring Eugene into his good graces, the Cerebral Assassin may have set his opponent up for a hard fall. Watch to find out if William Regal’s disciple will execute another winning game plan.

There should be further word on the condition of Shawn Michaels after Kane’s brutal and graphic attack. What will be the fallout from the Big Red Machine's Nutter Center rampage?

Lita seemed to have the weight of the world on her shoulders following the positive result of her pregnancy test. Tune in (9/8 CT on Spike TV) to find out if she’s talked to Matt Hardy yet and why Lita was anything but celebrating the news last week on RAW.


Update On Goldberg And Austin's Japan/WWE Status:

We have an update on the status of two of the biggest free agents in the industry today, Bill Goldberg and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. The most recent word was that both men were headed to Japan to cash in for several very high paying appearances. This weekend, it was discovered that despite recent rumors, Steve Austin recently turned down a very lucrative offer from Dreamstage Entertainment, indicating that it's unlikely that he will be working in Japan. Sources are stating that Austin is worried that if he does not draw well in Japan, he will not be able to have hand in future negotiations with WWE.

Goldberg, on the other hand, continues to work for Dreamstage. Most are not expecting Goldberg will return to WWE in the near future, if ever. In an interesting note, his profile was finally taken down from the "RAW Superstars" section of WWE.com, despite not appearing on WWE TV since WrestleMania XX over 3 months ago.

One last quick update. I look forward to everyone's opinions on tonight's Raw. Enjoy!

RAW Spoilers: HHH/Eugene Ending; Rock? Benoit, More:

As was confirmed on the show last week, tonight's main-event will be Triple H vs. Eugene. As it was said on HEAT on Sunday, HHH has to win the match to get the title shot against Chris Benoit at Vengeance.

Due to the fact that they never mentioned Eugene winning gets him a title shot, it's very possible that tonight they will have him go over, likely with help from his "friend" The Rock, who we mentioned on the site before is now confirmed for the show tonight, leaving other options open for Benoit at Vengeance.

Some point to the Edge heel turn as a plan in motion already for a Benoit title program leading into Vengeance, or another go with Kane. Either way, by the end of RAW tonight, we're told it'll be obvious which route they are headed.

There are a few good options that the WWE has for Vengence concerning the world title match. I would probably suggest a Benoit, HHH, Kane, Jericho match and possibly 2 more in one of those old "Fall Brawl" style match up's. Which wrestling fan wouldn't pay money to see this bloody and brutal match (as long as there is no outside interference! I hate those endings)
If you don't like this then i would like to know which match should take place. Because all 3 contenders deserve the title.

Awwww, how sweet. Kane is now the father of Lita's baby.

I wouldn't be surpised if next week on Raw. they invite Maury provich on the show with Lita explaining her story, wanting to know the test results on who the real father is. Matt Hardy comes out explains his story, than Kane comes out and explains his story. than Maury takes out the results.

Matt, You are NOT the father.

(Matt hardy storms out of the set crying in the back)

(Lita is on the floor crying at the results)

than its Kane's turn.

Kane, you are NOT the father.

Kane has a shock look on his face aswell as Lita)

Lita than saids she might know who the real father is..

Next Week on Raw..

Maury is back with Lita in the ring, Maury call out none other than a returning JEFF HARDY!! Matt hardy comes out wondering what the hell hes doing here, Lita explains that in the last 4 years, she and jeff have been sleeping together behind Matt's back, Matt isn't to happy about this and wonders how his own brother could bretray him like this, Than Kane comes out, Jeff wonders why hes out here, Lita than reviels Jeff that in the last couple of week, She have been sleeping with Kane behind Jeff's back. Jeff than starts jumping Kane while Matt joins the fight as the three of them Brawl. Maury than trys to break up the fight so he can read the results.

Jeff hardy, you ARE the father.

Kane and Matt than teams up and starts beating on Jeff while Lita is scared at the chaos she has caused

Bischoff than comes out and makes Matt Hardy Vs Jeff Hardy Vs Kane at Vengeance with Maury Provish as speical guess referee with the winner bangs Lita in the middle of the ring the next night on Raw.

Kane than sets Maury on Fire.

And theres your build up to Vengeance!!

olympic_Hero Wrote: Kane than sets Maury on Fire.

I would watch that!

yeah, which leads to..

Kane Vs Maury Provich in an Inferno Match at Summerslam.

During the match, Undertaker comes out to help Maury set Kane on fire, Maury jumps to SmackDown! in which Undertaker, Paul Bearer, and Maury forms a new Ministry of Darkness on SmackDown!

Forgive me, I'am sooooooooo bored right now.

Then Kurt Angle will form his anti-ministry faction with Mordecai, Oprah, and Montel Williams.

You forgot Dr.Phil.

The Eugene character might be in trouble... i was reading last night on nodq.com that 2 comedians that have a skit called Eugene which is about a metally retarded man that is very strong came to the producers of spike tv to see if they could get a show made out of this character, but Spike TV turned them away, then about a month later Eugene shows up on RAW... they said in there in the middle of getting a lawyer to sue the WWE over this and that the storyline there using with Eugene right now is straight from a script they gave the producers of Spike TV...

DrCube Wrote: You forgot Dr.Phil.

LMAO!! You guys are fucking hilarious. Man I've never read anything more funny, the WWE should come here looking for future storylines! LOL

Ghaleon, thanks, but that's old news bro. I think it's bullshit. If Eugene is in fact a rip-off of their character as they claim, why did they wait so fucking long to do anything about it? I mean surely if they knew the WWE was creating the character, they should have told the WWE, then Vince would have scrapped it, but like assholes, they wait for when the WWE has had Eugene on tv for almost 2 months before they do anything. If I was a judge, I'd throw the whole thing out, and rule that noone has any claim to the character.

In my opinion, Raw was mediocre at best.

Austin/DDP, Austin's WWE Return, Goldberg Horror Movie:

Bill Goldberg will be filming a horror movie by the name of "Thou Shalt Not Live." Goldberg is listed as the fourth lead in the movie behind a man who is now billed as Tommy Lister Jr. For anyone that remembers Zeus of "No Holds Barred", that's him.

From what we know, Steve Austin spend some time in Los Angeles recently hanging out with Diamond Dallas Page. There is nothing new as far as Austin goes due to the fact that he seems to be "laying low." There is feeling from people close to Austin that he is starting to become negative about the idea of working in Japan, with the thought that if he were to do a few more matches he might as well do them in WWE. We know that Austin is interested in merchandising in Japan and possibly television commercials, but stuff like that is something that anybody would chase after.


Official WWE RAW Preview (6/28) - Chris Benoit vs. Kane:
The following is an article from WWE.com:

Last week on Monday Night RAW, General Manager Eric Bischoff made a major announcement regarding the June 28 edition of RAW. In a rematch from Bad Blood, Chris Benoit will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against the monster, Kane. Will the Big Red Machine finally have Benoit's number? Or will Benoit be able to make it two in a row against the challenger? Find out on RAW.

Last week, Matt Hardy's life changed in an instant. He went from an expecting father about to propose the woman he loves to a mentally confused man who may not even be the expecting father he thought he was. The Matt Hardy/Lita love saga is far from over. What's next for this troubled couple? Is Kane really the father of Lita's baby?

As RAW went off the air last week, Eugene was left motionless in the middle of the ring as a result of a beating by Triple H and a misplaced chair shot by Chris Benoit. Can Eugene recover from the attacks on him by men that he thought of as friends? Watch Monday Night RAW at 9/8 CT on Spike TV to find out.


Identity Of She-Man Who 'Saved' Victoria On RAW(LOL!!):

The man who came down to the ring following the Trish Stratus vs. Victoria match on RAW last night was Steven Richards.

We are not exactly sure where this storyline is headed just yet.


Great American Bash Spoilers, SmackDown! Tapings News, Tons Of News:

WWE is expected to have Rey Mysterio defend the Cruiserweight title at the Great American Bash PPV this Sunday against Chavo Guerrero Jr.. This is obviously a last minute change due to Chavo Guerrero Sr.'s release last week. Expect this match to be announced at the SmackDown! tapings this week.

The planned tag team match at the GAB with Rico and Charlie Haas will obviously have to be changed due to Rico's injury. Haas is expected to be put in a singles bout.

WWE really has plans to have HBK's match with Kane at SummerSlam a huge deal. HBK will be out until the actual match or shortly before it. WWE is expected to use the video from last Monday's RAW as a part of video packages set to air leading into SummerSlam.


Kane's Unmasking, TNA Anniversary Show Changes:

WrestlingObserver.com is reporting that Kid Kash has broken his leg and is off the TNA anniversary show where he was scheduled to challenge A.J. Styles for the X-Division championship. No new opponent has been named.

WWE.com has a note up on the site about today marking the one year anniversary of Kane finally taking off his mask. Lot of good that has done him looking back on it a year later.

Sorry for all the double posts. Anyone else have problems posting today??
