I hate Michael Cole... his voice is not very announcer-ish... that was the one of the reasons why I don't want SD all the time. I can't stand him talking at all.

Well apparently Micheal Hayes shot racist remarks at the world strongest man. This may be why he won the title.

Thr Fabulous Freebird, Michael "P.S." Hayse is a Racist?


...go figure...But i don't think thats why they gave him the strap...well, it's at least not the ONLY reason...They have been giving him some decent pushes in the past few years, but this is the only one thats put him with a major title.

And like someone said earlier, it's kinda stupid to call someone the "Worlds Strongest Man" and barley ever give them a title, or a title shot for that matter...

Well in terms of wrestling ability Henry has no wrestling ability at all that's why I think he should never become champ but this is wwe were wrestling ability doesn't matter so I think it was a good move only cause of the name.

I think he has wrestling ability IMO he's one of the best big guys in the buisness.

Isnt he from Africa thats what i thought....

He's Ghanian, according to his mother.

I 100% disagree with that. Anyways I think it's cool that ROH's best is now on top of the world CM Punk WWE champion and Joe TNA's champion. Just shows you how great ROH is.

Just what WWE needs, another non-black guy with an afro. Any ever hear of Atlas Ortiz before his debut on ECW yesterday??

Apparently, he used to be a Pro football player...He was on the Training squad for the Chiefs, then he played in the Canadian Football Leauge, then in arena football... also, he was in the XFL

I thought the same when I saw him. ''Another afro guy?''. He did a fantastic job though, he certainly impressed me. And it was great seeing Estrada finally work instead of just getting squashed. They had great chemistry I hope they wrestle again.

As for Henry, like J.R. said and like I said before, he's an attraction and WWE is entertainment above all else, so there's nothing wrong with putting the ECW title on Henry. It makes sense, he's the world's strongest man, how can he NOT be champion?

And like I said before he has NO wrestling ability.

I forgot, who actually here in the WWE CAN actually wrestle?

Well, i'm pretty sure they can break your fingers in two.

Johnny Ace reportedly has expressed interest in bringing back former WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Essa Rios to World Wrestling Entertainment. He is probably best remembered for bringing Amy "Lita" Dumas into WWE because if you recall, she was originally his manager.

Rios was originally brought into the company in 1997. He wrestled TAKA Michinoku at WrestleMania XIV for the Light Heavyweight Championship, but lost. He was later repackaged as Essa Rios, capturing the WWF Light Heavyweight title from Gillberg in his first match under the gimmick in February 2000. Lita was split from Rios to manage the Hardy Boyz. While Lita & The Hardys were taking off, Ríos lapsed into obscurity for the remainder of his WWE career. He wrestled his final match for the organization in August 2001, and parted ways soon after.

Rios made a comeback to the United States in 2004 as part of Team AAA/Mexico for TNA.

Booker T has been frustrated with TNA in recent weeks, reports prowrestling.NET. Booker is a vocal critic of TNA's booking style, although some observers believe he's happier with his character's direction since the heel turn. The bulk of Booker's frustrations are with creative writers Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantel. On the otherhand, Booker is said to have a good relationship with Vince Russo (who booked his first World Title win in July 2000). He also had an incident on the UK tour last month. Booker was upset over the number of meet and greets he was asked to take part in during the tour. He was also unhappy with the lack of catering in the UK venues. According to one well-placed source, Booker was so upset that he threatened to leave the tour unless the company addressed the accommodation issues to his liking. Although, his frustration over TNA's travel accommodations was said to be justified as there was no catering at some of the buildings or water on the tour bus at the time of his complaints. On another note, Booker spends most of his time backstage playing video games. Some feel he's not doing as much to help the younger wrestlers as he lets on. Although, he's been playing video games backstage dating back to his WCW, which could give a false impression that he's difficult to approach.

Frank sent the following: Just to let your readers know, Playstation Magazine has confirmed that SmackDown vs. RAW 2009 will for the first time ever feature an Inferno Match to play.

WWE deciding to use Cryme Tyme in the final segment of RAW this past week shows a greater emphasis on the team which is a part of the company-wide effort to push the African American stars to rebuild the TV audience in that demographic. With Kofi Kingston and Cryme Tyme set to have top spots on RAW and Mark Henry dominating ECW, it looks like Ron Killings will be placed on SmackDown as we're hearing that he is set to get a top-level push.

I hope they bring Rios back. He was AWESOME! He had THE best moonsault i have ever seen...

Booker T is awesome. I think it's very unlike him to be like that backstage...

As for the African American thing, i think it's great. I say Bring Ron Simmons back. Or Reform the Nation of Domination. Just someing. And while their at it, they can do away with Cena's "wigger" look...

Taka Michinoku wrestled Aguila at WrestleMania XIV for the Light Heavyweight Championship. Was that Rios though??

Uh, like you know him?

Fingers?

Is it true that they're finally going to end this little Romeo and Juliet story with Edge and Vickie? My friend message me on Myspace saying that they're going to stop that story since Edge lost the title to Punk. IS THAT TRUE? Lol

I hope so, none of them are good at acting its so cheesy....

Wrong, it just shows how smart those two are for getting the hell out of ROH! I don't think their time in ROH had anything to do with it, imho, it's all in their wrestling ability


** Some rumor news **

The following matches are rumored for Great American Bash PPV:

WWE Championship
Triple H vs. Edge

World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk vs. John Cena vs. JBL

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho

SmackDown! Divas Title
Natalya vs. Michelle McCool

Tag Team Championship
Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes vs. Bob Holly and a partner

I see your not an ROH fan. I think ROH has helped those guys so damn much in their career. You got to be kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Batista should be involved in the world heavy weight championship match too.

No! He's gotten too many title opportunities already.
