Wednesday & Thursday news
Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon has been hospitalized due to a drug overdose according to reports this afternoon. I'm really hoping this is just a rumour.
The former Intercontinental Champion has been battling serious health issues over the past year. He was hospitalized last June for double pneumonia, which had affected both lungs. He was hospitalized again in August due to complications from pneumonia. After recovering, Hall checked into a WWE-sponsored rehabilitation facility, and checked out in early October. Hall was hospitalized weeks later as he needed a pacemaker implanted into his heart. Here's hoping to a speedy recovery to one of my all time favourites.
According to the WWE, Triple H and The Undertaker were both fined after Wrestlemania for using a chair shot to the head. Here is the statement from the WWE.
"Pursuant to WWE's Concussion policy, the stunt of using a folded metal chair shot to the head is prohibited. Triple H and The Undertaker have both been fined for violating this policy at WrestleMania XXVII. WWE penalizes through fine and/or suspension for violation of this policy, which is unchanged and still in effect.""
Anyone who believes that the two biggest superstars in the comapany actually got fined are naive.
Vince Mcmahon was apprently "out of his mind with stress" on Sunday before Wrestlemania, and made a lot of last minute changes to the card. Even on Raw on Monday he made a last minute massive call. Earlier in the day plans were for The Undertaker to have a rematch with HHH at Summerslam in August, and have Undertaker face John Cena at Wrestlemania 28. The Rocks decison to face Cena at next years Mania instead was made just hours before the match was announced.
Maryse could follow Michael Cole into the WWE GLAAD dog house. She accidently tweeted a message on twitter saying "Ur sooo gay......." As this was directed to no one in particular, she must of meant it as a direct message and unfortunatly tweeted it instead.
Stone Cold has said if he wanted to he could get back into the ring and wrestle full time for another two years at least, he feels his body is in perfect shape for it.
Heres a long bit of news from The Pro Wrestling Tourch
There is backstage heat on both John Morrison and Melina, reports Pro Wrestling Torch. It centers around the Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania XXVII, which saw Morrison repeatedly brush partner Trish Stratus off.
During their post-match celebration, Stratus hugged Snooki and went to hug Morrison, but he had already turned his back on her. Morrison then led Snooki to the corner of the ring and used the Jersey Shore star as a shield, to guard himself from Stratus.
The backstory behind Morrison's awkward body language is that either he or Melina, his girlfriend, felt Stratus took her spot in the Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania XXVII. The backstage belief is that he either holds Stratus in contempt for taking Melina's spot on the card, or had to portray himself as such so that she would believe he was rude to her.
Behind the scenes, Morrison rejected various ideas Stratus had for their match at WrestleMania XXVII, and was said to be very difficult to work with. His outright refusal to comply with any of her suggestions reportedly hurt her feelings. Word quickly spread amongst the locker room, garnering heat.
Many feel Morrison's unprofessional behavior will set back his standing in WWE since Stratus is highly regarded amongst company personnel.
While Morrison is considered a nice guy, he's not greatly respected amongst his peers. This dates back several years due to his real-life relationship with Melina. Particularly, he lost a lot of respect for allowing Melina to engage in a sexual relationship with former WWE talent Dave Bautista (a/k/a Batista) while the two were dating. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion made no qualms of being intimately involved with Melina in his 2007 autobiography, Batista Unleashed. He wrote:
"My wife thought I was sleeping with Melina right off the bat, while we were still married. It wasn't true, but it did make me feel guilty about being friends with her.
"Since then, as I've said, Melina and I have gotten closer and our relationship has become physical. That's caused a bit of controversy, but I don't give a shit. She's my friend, and I love her very much."
Proving that a Hardy loves nothing more than seeing their own name in the news for doing something stupid, Matt steps up this week to have a go at making headlines. At a hotel during Wrestlemania weekend Matt Hardy got into an altercation with members of the Tough Enough crew. Thats not a lot of details out yet about it, but Hardy and his girlfriend are now banned for life from the hotel.
JR has said he's not back announcing full time
Shawn Michaels revealed on Twitter that Triple H's Hall of Fame gift to him this past weekend was an engraved sterling silver, pearl handled, Colt .45 revolver.
During HBK's Hall of Fame speech, he said there was one person he wanted to thank, but that he wasn't able to say that peson's name. Many speculated this person was Ric Flair (who was in attendence at the ceremony), but Michaels wrote on Twitter this week that the mystery man was actually Vince McMahon. He tweeted:
"There seems 2b confusion on the "who" I couldn't mention during my speech. It was Vince. He doesn't want focus on him. U wanna c the real Vince watch the HOF ring presentation on the WWE Diary w/me. The rest is gimmick, don't believe what u read. It sounds like a schill but its fact. But of course that's jus 1 guys opinion that actually knows him...for 20+ yrs. Whadda I know
