You don't even have a champion to build off a feud with. It's sad when Show is the most entertaining one of the three. Miz I used to love as a heel (2011, seriously I did), but his heel character now is so over the top it's more awful than anything. Team BAD shirts are now available on WWEShop. Curious to see sales on those. It reminds me of The Corre & how bad of a name that was. Shocked they didn't switch the porn name of Submission Sorority to Team BangBus or something like that. Not that I know what that is or......oh man.....I've said too much. Cameron is trying to form a trio with Eva and a returning Kelly Kelly. The WLF, or We Love Facials. Their gimmick would be open hand slaps. |

Hogan's going to roll in with a Nailz gimmick. He's going to ripoff the jumpsuit day one, drop the leg on the baddest dude in the yard, and stay on top for his entire eighteen month run.
- The National Enquirer has a new article saying Hulk Hogan has been accused of lying under oath.
Their report notes that court transcripts reveal Hogan allegedly made conflicting statements to the FBI and to lawyers for the Gawker website, who Hogan has the $100 million lawsuit against. During a hearing on July 2nd, Gawker attorney Seth Berlin told the judge that he had learned Hogan made statements under oath during a talk with the FBI and during a deposition that are “directly at odds with another.” Berlin wrote:
“So we have a situation… where the key participant, the plaintiff, is telling us one thing under oath and telling the FBI something else.”
Legal experts told The Enquirer, who recently revealed the racist comments made by Hogan in 2008, that if the accusation is true, Hogan would be guilty of either perjury or obstruction of justice, depending on if he lied to the Gawker lawyers or the FBI. Those charges could potentially carry jail time, as defense attorney Anthony Brooklier told The Enquirer:
“That’s how Martha Stewart got nailed. It wasn’t insider trading that put her in jail. It was the lie she told to the cops.”

– As we previously reported, there have been rumors that Adam Rose could get a gimmick change, going back to the Leo Kruger character he used in NXT. Rose has been tweeting about the character. On Tuesday, he had his fans get the term #WeWantKrugerBack to trend on Twitter.
Rose and Brad Maddox recently debuted the team “Beef Mode” during a live event, which could be another possible change for Rose’s character.
Regardless of what eventually happens to Rose, it’s believed that he is currently on “stand-by” in WWE. There are a few different stories in the company right now about what will happen to him. It’s believed that the current Adam Rose character won’t be on the main roster much longer.

As noted, Roman Reigns was attacked by a fan with a fake Money in the Bank briefcase during last night’s WWE live event in Victoria.
Reigns was in the middle of the main event match against Bray Wyatt, when a fan struck Reigns in the back with the briefcase while his back was turned.
According to live reports, Reigns was temporarily knocked out and remained in the corner for a few minutes until he finally came to. Wyatt, in the meantime, stalled for time as authorities and security tended to the situation at ringside.
The police were finally called to ringside, where several fans were ejected as a result of the incident.
Reigns appears to be ok as he was able to finish the match against Wyatt.

UPDATE: CTV reports that the fan who threw the replica Money in the Bank briefcase that struck Roman Reigns at Saturday’s house show won’t face charges. As no one was injured in the incident, WWE didn’t press charges but the fan has been banned from attending any WWE shows in the future.
ORIGINAL: An incident went down at last night’s WWE house show in Victoria, BC last night, in which law enforcement was called after Roman Reigns was hit in the head with a replica Money in the Bank briefcase during his match with Bray Wyatt. According to PWInsider, Reigns was stunned by the blow and took a couple of minutes in the corner to get his senses back to normal while Wyatt stalled the crowd and the fan was handled by the ref and security, getting ejected from the arena.
You can see video of the incident below; Reigns completed the match, which saw him win by virtue of a spear.

If you're going to hack a wrestlers twitter, at least be funny. Total missed opportunity.
Though the tweet to Hogan asking if he liked cock made me laugh.

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
As seen last night on WWE RAW, Kevin Owens’ weight was brought up by Randy Orton in a segment that saw Orton take (what was seen as) a cheap shot at the former NXT Champion. Orton asked Owens if he put on a little weight, and Owens simply said ‘no’.
This comment was reported to be deliberate, as there are still apparent issues with Owens’ look with some WWE officials. It’s being said that some people in WWE are still against Owens and think he will fail, and may even want Owens to fail to prove themselves correct in their assumptions. The Observer’s Dave Meltzer originally said on his radio show (after Owens tapped at WWE Battleground) there are two groups; those for Owens, and those against him, and they are in the middle of a game to see who is right about him succeeding or failing in the company.
On a similar note, there were reports last year that WWE’s Executive Vice President of Television Production Kevin Dunn was getting inside Vince McMahon’s ear to bury (then) new NXT callups such as Bo Dallas, Paige and Adam Rose. It was speculated that Dunn was going to ‘bury’ people who threatened his position, most notably Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, who are notably in favor of NXT succeeding.

You have to be an idiot not to recognize Kevin Owens as a top, top talent. His in-ring and mic work are both top notch. His presence is even larger. (no pun intended)
It's why I had such a tantrum at the conclusion of his program with Cena. Unbelievably enough, they've already managed to damage him quite a bit. Not saying he can't recover from it but there's no reason we should be at the point that we are at with him.
Paige is another one. She was on a completely different level a year or so ago as opposed to where's she's at now.
Bo Dallas and Adam Rose have never done much for me but they too could've been put in better positions than what they were given.

Kevin Dunn was trending on Twitter today & I saw a bunch of tweets hoping it was because he was fired (myself being one of them). Instead it was because of the weight comments towards Owens.
Nice to see Kevin Dunn hasnt changed & continues to be a fucking asshole. One out of touch dickbag in the ear of another out of touch dickbag.
Emma, The Ascension, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, you could argue pre-New Day that Xavier Woods did nothing too. It's sad that these guys (and ladies) have all this momentum on NXT, yet constantly when they get called up they're saddled with being paired with the moronic Cobra guy, a Powers of Pain rip off, feuding with a bunny for 8 months with no pay off, having a winning streak end pointlessly to R-Truth or being Truths sidekick. Then WWE wonders what went wrong? Meanwhile Kevin Dunn is laughing.
It's a shame. I can only hope once Vince isn't running the company anymore that Steph & Trips kick Dunn to the curb immediately.

They're also talking if Cena can't go at Summerslam it could be a Triple Threat for the World Title with Rollins defending......against Orton & Sheamus. That'll put butts in the seats.
Seems like Cesaro vs Owens is destined for a singles match. I fear it might end up on the pre-show or some shit, even worse not happen at all.

While we're posting picture of Beef Mode, here's what Brad Maddox looks like now....
I think Rose is just trolling. He's been teasing the Kruger stuff for a while. After he dropped the "Hot Hot" Adam Rose dumb stuff with Rosa, he's been doing the Kruger or Rose stuff on Twitter.
Maddox I have no idea how to explain it. I'm in the minority I know, but I really liked him on the main roster, wish they would've let him wrestle. He deserves better. |

The Total Divas that was in Moline where I got to meet everyone aired tonight....for like 15 seconds. I didn't make the cut. Signed the release for nothing! They brought a full camera crew to that taping for 15 seconds. Wow.
On a positive, I don't have to tape Total Divas anymore.

I'm gonna go ahead and trust that this isn't really a spoiler. Especially since it was a dark match. And even more especially that he lost to Zack Ryder.
* Zack Ryder defeated Brad Maddox. Maddox cut a promo before the match and said his new name is Joshua Kingsley.

I think we've more than officially hit the point where Barrett is no longer repairable.
– At last night’s WWE Main Event TV tapings, Wade Barrett brought back the “Bad News” Barrett gimmick during a backstage segment. There is no official word on if the gimmick is making a full time return, but there have been rumors that Barrett may drop the King gimmick. More on the story as it becomes available.

They probably think Bad News Barrett seems a lot tougher (especially to promote it on main stream media for the tag match at Summerslam) than the goofy King Barrett. His first feud (which by all accounts, he lost more than he won during it) was against a guy who wore a bath towel & carried a plunger. That'll really get people to take you seriously.
So many times they've dropped the ball on Barrett. Hard to believe he's been there on the main roster for 5 years.
