The Thursday Small-For-All News Report: 08.14.08
Posted by Jeff Small on 08.14.2008
Total Dominotion!!!
The Prelude
This past weekend, I had a crash-course in Media Relations that prompted me to seriously consider my career path. Okay, not really, since I have a plum job that I love but man, was my weekend frickin' sweet. In case, you haven't read about it, I suggest you take a look at The Hamilton Ave-For-All News Report which chronicles the whole shebang in detail (and in pictures)!!! Because for the next few paragraphs my weekend is all I'm going to discuss.
On my way home from the weekend, JP and I discussed if last weekend could be topped. Even if the events of this past weekend fell again in my lap, it wouldn't be the same. My media mooching cherry was popped. I bled for the first time in my Hilton bed. My next exclamation of "Whammy" wouldn't be the same (hopefully, this time it wouldn't evoke laughter). You get my point: my virginity is gone. While it wasn't with the high school football team captain, at least I settled for second place.
Sure to some of you a weekend of free alcohol, hanging out with TNA wrestlers, and attending a PPV in a VIP box might sound like nothing exciting. But to me, it is. Look I write this news report for fun. For those of you who think I get paid to write about the nutritional value of the Great Khali's diet, I don't. Trust me, it's much better this way. This past weekend, I met some of those who do get paid writing about wrestling. They are the most miserable douchebags I've met since college. If you support websites that require the greatest ad-blocker in the world just to make it past their main page or if you spend money reading wrestling news other than Meltzer, please stop. All you are doing is feeding these ass clowns' egos. Rather I suggest you should feed my ego and just continue reading this free entertainment. Because you know I'm stealing the good stuff anyway!!!
Ahem, I feel a little better now. Isn't it sad how one douchebag can put a little damper on your parade? And if you don't know how that feels, just wait until JBL wins the WWE Championship this weekend!
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
Keep waiting….
Yes, yes….
WHAMMY!!!!!!!

In today's Small-For-All, we discuss the ramifications of Orton's re-injury, Lance Cade talking shit on WWE Fan Nation, the return of the Millennium Man, the silly rumor of Mick Foley to TNA, my thoughts on TNA Impact: the video game, and of course, the countdown continues. Take it away Gob!
NEWS FROM TITAN TOWERS
We're Survivors!
According to WWE.com, "Randy Orton was involved in a motorcycle accident resulting in him re-injuring his collarbone. Orton had initially injured his collarbone last June at One Night Stand, during his confrontation with Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship. As a result of re-injuring the collarbone, Orton will be out of action for an additional three months."
First off, Orton is lucky to be alive. Thankfully, he was wearing his helmet or else, wrestling would have had another tragedy. Of course, Orton shouldn't have been riding a motorcycle in the first place: he has a family, a plum job, and he's not 100% healed from his injury. Hell, according to the article, Orton has only been riding for a month! Why did he even start? Peer pressure perhaps. Damn you, Undertaker. Damn you, Chuck Palumbo. Leave Orton alone!
The best part is that the bike Orton was riding on wasn't his. What a rapscallion. He's so slippery. It seems that Triple H has taught him well. (I think only Burgan will get that one.) As for when we will see Orton again, I'll leave the diagnosis up to the man himself. Take it away Randy!
The BIG rumor this week revolves around a certain psychotic one. That's right, there is a rumor floating around the internet that the man they call SID will be returning to the WWE next month! According to Slam Wrestling, "Sid Vicious has apparently been telling friends that he will be returning to the WWE in September."
Now the last time we saw Sid, he suffered a debilitating injury. Thankfully, since 2001, the WWE has restricted their cruiserweights from doing dangerous moves such as 450 splashes, piledrivers, the Cleveland steamer, and of course, top rope big boots. So we should not need to worry about Sid's bill of health.
Personally, I am looking forward to Sid's return, if it does indeed happen. In a world where Shawn Michaels can still go ten years after a serious back injury and where Kevin Nash has surprisingly not torn his quads after his daily tan sessions, nothing is impossible anymore. Plus, take a look at these Dream Matches:
Sid vs. Jimmy Wang Yang
Sid vs. Colin Delaney
Sid vs. Umaga
Sid vs. Chris Jericho – Battle of the Millennium Men
Sid vs. The Undertaker – Will Sid poop his pants again?
Sid vs. The Big Show
Sid vs. Nancy
Sid vs. The Great Khali
Now if the above does not give you wood, I suggest you need a trip to Six Flags.
Don't Call Me Garrison
This past weekend, Lance Cade blogged on WWE Fan Nation. Most of what he wrote was unimportant drivel until he cryptically called out a former superstar. Here's what he said:
Same goes with my dislocated shoulder that happened December 28, 2007. Doctors wanted me to get it fixed. But, I took five weeks off and have been back ever since. I'll probably get in trouble for saying this but, sometimes the truth hurts. A certain "top guy" had a shoulder injury, much less severe than mine and he took eight months off and took his ball and left. That's fine... He had no passion for this business. I won't take time off unless I'm forced to. There.... I got that off my chest. I want to be in that ring every chance I get.
I wonder who Lance Cade is referring to. Hmm… perhaps the man who wrote this song:
He said to her "I'd like a cheeseburger,
And i might like a milkshake as well",
She said to him "i cant give you either",
And he said "isn't this this burger bell?",
She said "yes it is, but were closed now,
But we open tomorrow at ten!",
HE SAID "I AM EXTREMELY HUNGRY!!!!
But i guess i can wait until then......"
Coz' your his Cheeseburger,
His yummy Cheeseburger,
He'll wait for you-ooo,
YAH! He'll wait for you-ooo,
Oh, You are his Cheeseburger,
His tasty Cheeseburger,
He'll wait for you-ooo,
Oh, he will wait for you.
Coz' he loves his Cheeseburger with all his heart,
And there ain't nothing gonna tear you two-oo apart,
And if the world suddenly ran out of cheese,
He would get down on his hands and knees,
To see if someone accidenly dropped some cheese in the dirt,
Then he would wash it up for you,
Wipe it up for you,
Clean that dirty cheese up just for YOU!!!!!!
You are his Cheese-bur-GER!!
But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
Hell in the Cell Setlist

Of course, there are two notable omissions from this DVD set: the epic Wrestlemania 15 encounter between the Undertaker and the Big Boss Man and the Kennel from Hell match (also featuring the Big Boss Man). Here's hoping both matches are Easter Eggs hidden on the disc!
Avoid the Noid
In our silly news of the week, here's everyone's favorite Domino!
The above was what Domino submitted to the WWE after the Greasers broke up. Of course, the WWE loved the gimmick so much that they fired Domino and will proceed to use it on another developmental superstar! Oh and Domino, none of the poster boys you mentioned on the video are on Smackdown. Perhaps, that's why your new gimmick was rejected. Booyah!
Quick N Dirty News
Stolen from all your favorite sources:
John Cena will host the Australian Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards.
Hopefully, the kids can teach him some new poop jokes.
Ashley made an appearance yesterday at a Long Island strip club.
Oh shit, the Dirty Dirty is back in action! Man, I can't wait for the MySpace update.
WWE has released developmental talents Charles "the Hammer" Evans, Brad Attitude and Matt O'Neal.
Out of the three, Evans is the most well known thanks to his participation as one of Floyd Mayweather's entourage at Wrestlemania. He was also known to have a large penis. While I am not sure the sizes of Brad Attitude's or Matt O'Neal's packages, I could safely assume that "the Hammer" had the largest. Attitude was also known as Brad Allen, Smackdown jobber, who competed against the likes of Mark Henry and Bobbly Lashley. As for O'Neal, don't feel too bad for him as he should be able to survive on his sister, April's, news reporter salary.
Killer Kowalski is still in critical condition.
Perhaps this is the question Kane needed an answer to. Sure beats that Rey Mysterio swerve.
Raven is suing the WWE in regards to being an independent contractor but being treated like an employee.
I ain't touching this with a 15 foot pole. Perhaps JP will cover it on Saturday.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?
I was talking to JP about this over the weekend. What ever happened to John "Big" Gaburick from Tough Enough? That dude was the shit. Anyway, if you know, comment below.
NEWS FROM O-TOWN
Foley to TNA?
According to the UK Sun, "Mick Foley intends to sign with TNA once his WWE contract expires at the end of the month. "Mick's body cannot handle a full time schedule, even in TNA," a source told the UK Sun. "But he's hell bent on doing everything he can to further his legacy and put them on the map. So Mick's plan is to wrestle select dates like Sting current does."
Well it's almost a certainty that Foley will not be prolonging his WWE announcing career. As much as I would hate to see him go, at least we would have The Tazz back on Smackdown!
Regardless, the bigger news is where Foley would end up after his WWE contract expires. I expect him to attend some ROH dates since he's a fan of the promotion and they are local to his Long Island home. As for TNA, never say never. Foley originally wanted to sign with TNA in 2005 but didn't when Vince ponied up more money. Now with Foley sick of Vince (and probably vice versa), Foley has a chance to take up limited dates with TNA.
Would TNA prosper with Mick Foley? Absolutely! Just like the Jets with Brett Farve, sometimes it pays to take on a legend even if he's a primadonna crybaby. Foley would immediately become the best man on the mic and could be used sparingly in big matches (Foley vs. Consequences Creed – book it TNA). If TNA does not want him to wrestle, he would easily be a step up from Don West in the announcer's booth. Lastly, while I do not see him on the creative team, he would easily become a mentor in TNA's locker room.
Of course, leave it up to TNA to have a Foley on a pole match or have him team up with the Prince Justice League. Then, it probably wouldn't be worth it to shell out much dinero (EZ-Money?) for Foley.
TNA iMPACT: The Game
Since most of my opinions regarding my Midway weekend have already been mentioned, it's only fair to discuss the true reason I attended the shindig: to play a not-so-finished copy of the game (it was the E3 build). Now while I am no video game reviewer, I am still a fan of video games. Currently, I only play a few select sports games but have been willing to shell out money for most WWE wrestling titles (well up until Smackdown vs. Raw).
Overall, after playing about five or six matches Saturday night, I can easily say that TNA iMPACT is a very fun game. Is it the best wrestling game I have played? No, that would still be WWE No Mercy or perhaps Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain. The best parallel I can draw for TNA iMPACT is that it reminds me very much of WWF War Zone. Which is a good thing.
For those who remember WWF War Zone, it was the first WWF video game during the Attitude era. At the time, War Zone came out, I was not watching wrestling (I took a sabbatical from 1996 – 1998). However, I played the game at a friend's place and immediately knew that I had to play it. Lo and behold, I started watching wrestling to become familiar with the roster and look where it's got me. I had a similar feeling playing TNA iMPACT: for those who do not watch TNA, it makes you want to watch their programming. Scary, ain't it?
Sadly, that was not the only way it reminded me of War Zone. First, the game is somewhat bare-bones: we only had a selection of 10-15 characters to play at start (most characters are locked) and outside of the Ultimate X match (which is a lot of fun), there's no other gimmick matches (Six Sides of Steel, King of the Mountain, or even the Fight for the Right Battle Royal). Also, there's no blood, which personally does not bother me, but I can see it being mentioned in formal reviews.
On the positive side, the graphics looked very sweet on the XBOX360. Both AJ Styles and Samoa Joe were motion captured so the moves looked crisp. The commentary was not surprisingly better than the real thing and leaps and bounds ahead of any of the recent WWE titles. Also, the create-a-wrestler feature is a lot more streamlined than any WWE title which will satisfy people like me though those who spent hours creating superstars might be disappointed. Sometimes simplicity isn't a bad thing. And the story mode rips off all the best parts of Ready to Rumble!!! Oh and have I mentioned that the game is easy to play?
Overall, I was not the only one who enjoyed playing the game. JP had a good time even though he's video game retarded and so did my buddy Derek Burgan (you might remember him on my top 15 IWC list).
Here's hoping that I get a final copy of the game to review (you hear that Reid!). As for now, the game would receive a 7.5 rating from me, which is a recommendation to buy (if not definitely rent). Midway's done good with this one.
Oh and Reid, if you are reading this, don't forget my idea to have the Great Khali as a hidden audience member! That would totally increase sales by 23.7%.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT… WWE SUMMERSLAM PREVIEW
Summerslam is this coming Sunday and I know I'm not the only one pumped (Kegger, you can suck on that!). Here's the card for those in the know:
On paper, this looks like a very good card. While the Hell in the Cell should clearly steal the show, many of the matches could easily be sleepers (both title matches and even Cena/Batista). Even though many are upset that Cena/Batista is not being saved for Wrestlemania, I doubt we will have a clean ending here (unless the WWE is saving the rubber match for WM 25). Plus, if the match sucks, then it's a good thing that it wasn't saved until Wrestlemania. And of course, I'd be remiss if I did not mention the best part of the show:
While I am supposed to be helping out with the Instant Access during the night, if Khali wins the title, all bets are off! Now you might ask why I am so positive that the Great Khali will be the next WWE Champion. Easily, Triple H needs some time off to take care of his newborn and who better than Khali to represent the blue brand? Hell, I will go so far as to say if Khali does not win the title, you won't see me again until September!
COMING ATTRACTIONS
Well even if Khali wins the title on Sunday, you won't see me again until September. Tune in next week to find out who Small's first guest news reporter will be. Until then…
For the Thursday Small-For-All News Report, I'm Jeff Small… and you're not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully this means SID will be powerbombing the fuck out of Cena upon his arrival in the E.

Maybe sid can get his car ran over by a cena monster truck as he yells "Why Goldberg Why?"
Posted By: Dan B (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 02:52 AM
Let's see with the SummerSlam card
World Title match: Looks boring
ECW title match: Short and boring
Mix tag match: May be a comedy match. May have end with Beth IC champ and Santino Women's champ
Cena vs. Batista: Crowd will be into it I see this being like Cena vs. HHH WM22 were the crowd really made that match entertaining
Jeff vs. MVP: Should be good
WWE Title: May surprise me, but to be honest JBLs run since he returned haven't actually been great outside of golden promos the guy cuts
HITC match: will steal the show. I can see Edge acutally winning just to surprise people
Overall decent card. I won't be ordering didn't get paid this week
Posted By: Colin (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 02:54 AM
I would love to see SID back. I marked out for his gimmick in WCW where he'd come down and destroy 4 cruiserweights then pin them all. Sid's money baby
Posted By: olympic hero (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 04:02 AM
I wonder if Orton's injury is real. If it isn't I can see him interfering in the Cena-Batista match, beating the crap out of the both of them and backstage saying he is the biggest star in the WWE not them two - maybe put in a few legend killer and OVW remarks as well. Then a nice triple threat match at Unforgiven, with Batista turning heel and siding with Orton?
Posted By: AH (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 04:12 AM
Foley didn't WANT to go to TNA in 2005 it was a bluff to get another contract.
Posted By: Guest#0555 (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 05:17 AM
Loved your version of 'His Cheeseburger' from Veggietales. Classic.

GLOBAL DOMINOTION~!

Good lookin out Small...April O'Neill reference was awesome. The question readers should ask themselves...where will Small be for the next 3 weeks? He will be at the Midway HQ in California getting motion captured for when he appears in the audience jerking off on the TNA game. He spoke of the many perks from this weekend...there ya go.
Posted By: Kegger (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 09:29 AM
Sid won't be back. He was never good in the first place. As a matter of fact, he sucked. It seems like the only reason he was in the WWF was to lose to guys that Shawn Michaels didn't want to job to. Michaels didn't wanna drop the belt to Bret Hart at WM 13, so he lost his smile and sat out WM. This is why Michaels was a dope at the time. You know how much money that fool lost for not facing Bret at WM 13? Meanwhile, Bret faced Austin at WM 13 instead and the match is one of the best in the history of WM. Meanwhile, good old Sid was fed to the Taker at WM 13 and the rest is history. That was Sid's last big moment in the WWF: Losing to the Taker. That was 1997. For those of you doing the math, that was 11 years ago! Nobody's cared since. Sid won't return and why should he? Shawn found his smile (and God), but now he can't see straight and he walks like he landed on the top of a steel fence from 20 floors up.

according to wwe.com orton was injured. according to ortons home town news site where the accident happened nadda. http://www.topix.com/city/high-ridge-mo work pure and simple
he will make both cena and batista his bitch at summerslam

The best part about the Orton deal is that people believe it.
They don't even give the location of where it happened.
Come on. It's a work. He'll be at the PPV Sunday.

WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!
Posted By: Magic Man (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 11:58 AM
Sid was always crazy but I thought he was perfect in ECW. I hope he does come out like someone says and just powerbombs the F out of Cena, Dave, Michaels, Punk, etc.

"Kevin Nash has surprisingly not torn his quads after his daily tan sessions"

No Khali for All news? In the week of match for the WWE championship? I'm disappointed.
Posted By: The Ratings Killer (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Ah Small, you so wacky!
Wouldn't it be great if they hire Domino back due to the buzz of this silly video he came up with? That'd rock.
And I was WAITING for someone to either A) mistake the Sid vs. Nancy joke, or, likely simulataneously, B) make a reference to Benoit. While A did not happen, B did, and in horrible taste! Good job!
Sid is thought of so highly because he was big, scary, had a killer physique, and sweated charisma. He was OK at best in the ring (and even then, he needed the right opponent), but there was just something indescribably COOL about him that makes many of us remember him and want him to come back so he can go out on much better terms than The Jump And Break Shown Round The World.

"The best parallel I can draw for TNA iMPACT is that it reminds me very much of WWF War Zone. Which is a good thing."
Um, no. WWF War Zone and Attitude SUCKED from a gameplay standpoint. Up-Down-Left-Right-Up-B for a bodyslam is not fun times. I truly hope you are wrong on this count, as I am looking forward to Impact's release. If they want anyone to actually play this game, it's going to need to play like WM2000 and No Mercy.
Posted By: Steve307 (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 02:34 PM
ageoforton has a great point. It's weird how the story *only* broke out on wwe.com, and some other sites, just other sites reporting what wwe.com already reported. Orton's last title reign was only slightly better that Punk's current reign, so I can't say I'm thrilled to see him return, either sooner or later.
Posted By: Dan (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 02:53 PM
No Small for 3 weeks.... Isn't that about how long Kahli will be gone after being berried by HHH at SS?
Posted By: Dave (Guest) on August 14, 2008 at 02:54 PM
I know this isn't terribly current, but its more so than Tough Enough. I actually saw him two years ago at the First Mariner Arena in Baltimore for No Way Out. It took me a second to recognize him because he was wearing a suit and no baseball cap, but it was definitely him. Nice guy, he stopped and talked to me for a good five minutes even though we were just over an hour away from the opening bell. He was wearing a whole slew of All-Access passes, so he clearly still worked for them and could go, well, anywhere, but I don't know exactly what he did nor if he's still with them now.

Arested Development was the shit! Hear they are thinking of a movie. MONEY!
Dear Sid, please stay away. Or go to ROH and fight the necro butcher. I'd pay for that one but then again i'm a sick bastard

Holy Crap, For a moment there I thought it was Shane Douglas on the milk carton!
Posted By: Soul (Guest) on August 15, 2008 at 03:00 AM
I actually hope Sid comes back in Septmember.. think about this: Sid was once Shawn Michaels' bodyguard.. Sid was known as the Millenium Man.. now, Chris Jericho is feuding with HBK, has Lance Cade helping him out.. and Jericho also referred to himself in the past as the Millenium Man. What if HBK decides to go one more time with Jericho (kayfabe wise) and makes sure Lance has a VICIOUS surprise waiting for him? That way Sid and Lance could fight allowing Jericho and HBK to keep it one on one for their next match or two.
SummerSlam card looks like a black hole of suck, sorry to say it. HHH vs Khali is a sad excuse for a main event. JBL vs Punk is going to be another way to make Punk look like an afterthought as probably right after winning (off a fluke GTS like last time) Orton pops in and nails an RKO on him. Henry vs Hardy will last about 3 minutes before Henry gets hungry again (and remember, eating makes you fat!) and Santino and Beth are not exactly going to have a memorable match. Cena vs Batista is not even 10% of a Steamboat/Flair, or Steamboat/Savage.. this is basically going to be the workrate equivalent of Uncle Elmer vs Jim Duggan. HITC, we've seen Edge get his ass handed to him a million times, a million and one come Sunday. MVP jobs to the walking pharmacy.. and HBK gets mugged by Jericho during his announcement, in all likelihood. Dammit, now I really do want Sid back!
Posted By: Black Scorpion (Guest) on August 15, 2008 at 06:48 PM
Who's the chick in the Domino video? I hope the E got her number before before they cut Domino's ASS! By the way Domino, come up with an original gimmick rather than the stupid crap they already did about 10 years ago, or don't you remember those jobbers they got too rap for the Nation during they,re entrance. It was crap then and would be about 30 times worse now.
