The Thursday Small-For-All News Report: 12.04.08
Posted by Jeff Small on 12.04.2008
The following news report contains no credible information. Reader discretion is advised.
Plenty o' feedback from last week's Small-For-All . Let's get crackin' with it in a segment I would like to call…
If anyone could make me a real banner, that would be greatly appreciated.
From blueoyster, "Please explain how Kenny Dykstra is a headcase, I NEVER hear anything on this site other than "his attitude sucks" or "he's randy orton style head-case"..."
Ask and ye shall receive. According to the Wrestling Observer and various other fine dirtsheets, Kenny's been a headcase throughout his whole career in the E. And really, are you that surprised? The guy's been told that he would be the second coming of Randall K Orton since he began wrestling for OVW at age 17. The wrestling industry has always been about paying your dues and I don't think many wrestlers liked the checks that Kenny was cashing. Anyway, here's a list of bad things Dykstra has done:
Poor backstage attitude even when he was in OVW. According to the Observer in an article dated from March 2006, "Ken Doane, who is one of the Spirit Squad members, has an incredible amount of heat down in Ohio Valley Wrestling among the wrestlers. The OVW wrestlers do things like let the air out of his tires, even in front of him. Recently, several wrestlers confronted him to shape up because he has all the talent in the world, and they're tired of dealing with him. His reaction to the wrestlers confronting him was, "Yeah, whatever." That reply got him even more heat."
Had an incident with a fan during his OVW days. From wikipedia, "In early July 2006, a man named James Wilson claimed that Doane and his then-fiancee, Mickie James were in a car when he approached them for an autograph. According to Wilson, James was friendly and signed his poster but Doane grabbed it and sped off, tearing the poster and causing him to fall and injure his shoulder. As a result, Doane was charged with assault, battery, and vandalism.[25] WWE officials offered Wilson autographs, but he refused and said that he wanted money from Doane."
He ate all the skin off of the fried chicken bucket that the Great Khali ordered three weeks ago!
In an Observer from a few weeks back (which went into detail regarding recent releases), it mentioned how Doane has failed wrestler's court many times. In fact, "He was known for constantly acting goofy and getting noticed for negative things, including a high school like attitude when his relationship with Mickie James ended."
His recent MySpace post declaring his freedom from the tyrannical WWE. Here's an excerpt:
Believe it or not i actually am happy to be gone from wwe. I dont have to do things around their schedule and i dont have to answer to anybody. i have never fealt so free in my entire life… i did have fun with wwe but the creative side never used me properly or really gave me an opportunity to get over. it sucks when you know your better than the majority and your only used to make people look good… wwe kinda puts a bad taste in your mouth after all the politics and garbage that can go on… as for wwe i am glad to be gone. i thank them for everything and wish them the best too. take care. Kenn Doane
Blueoyster, I hope this takes care of your question. In the future, I would rather you wait until I answer it then try to start a silly feud with a guy named Homie. Seriously, it's Thanksgiving and the two of you are fighting over Kenny fucking Dykstra. Get over yourselves.
Next up, a few people had issues with me stating that marijuana is addicting. Perhaps that's because I define "addiction" as "Psychological or emotional dependence on the effects of a drug" (cite: PBS). Currently, I have a roommate I would say is addicted to marijuana. Sure, watching him toke up before and immediately after dinner isn't as harmful as snorting coke, but he's clearly addicted.
As for why I think Kendrick is a douchebag, it has nothing to do with the fact that he smokes. Rather, it's because he has placed marijuana on this high pedestal that not even his profession matters as much. Look, if your employer does not want you to smoke marijuana and tries to send you the hint by constantly drug testing you and scaling back your responsibilities, you might want to perhaps drop your habit. But maybe that's just me.
From Hawkeye, "You mean like how they "punished" Ted DiBiase's DUI by bringing him up to the main roster and immediately giving him the tag titles? Or how they "punished" Santino's DUI by giving him an angle (Glamerella) and eventually the IC title? Their priorities for what deserves a punishment (and apparently their very definition of "punishment") need some serious work."
No, Hawkeye, you are absolutely correct in stating that there's a double standard with the WWE's punishment. Remember, myself and Meehan, are just messengers; we don't make the rules.
Lastly from Big Fat F@g, "DOES KHALI EAT TURKEYS OR ONLY CHICKENS?"
Very good question. Normally, Khali sticks to a chicken-only diet. However, on Thanksgiving, he makes an exception: four chickens, two turkeys. Nothing more and certainly nothing less.
With that said, let's get on with the show.
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
Keep waiting…
Yes, Yes…
WHAMMY!!!!!
In today's edition of the Small-For-All, we gossip on Batista's latest conquest, look at the latest WWE creative cut, discuss the upcoming Tribute to the Troops special, and delve into TNA salaries. BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
NEWS FROM TITAN TOWERS
From prowrestling.net, "Batista revealed during an interview with the WJFK radio morning show on Monday that he dated Kelly Kelly a few months ago. "She's just a young girl," he said. "She was a little immature for a 21 year-old." He cited their age difference as the reason the relationship didn't last."
Wow, immature for a 21 year old. Remember Dave, you are going to be 40 in January. When you were 21, you probably dated girls that wore flannel, shoulderpads, and had greasy long hair. Personally, I think Kelly Kelly's fine ass is a step-up, but regardless, no fucking shit, she's probably immature. The girl is known for first placing in a "Best Butt on the Beach" contest a few years back and now has the luxury of working in the seedy world of professional wrestling. Plus, she dated Test. That dude was probably more immature than she is.
Regardless, Batista got to spear Kelly Kelly. Good for him. It's really hard not to like Big Dave. He fucks a Diva and moves on to the next one. When someone says no, he has them fired. See Batista's smart: the only thing he's addicted to is poon, which is a-ok in the WWE!
Over on the infamous 411 Message Boards, there is a great thread entitled "Who's tapped that?" I suggest you all take a look at that page once you finish with this gossip rag. But in the meantime, I'm going to take a page (or seven) from the thread by posting some of the "not-so-secret" wrestling relationships.
Angelina Love needs a little Super Eric in her life.
Ariel said no to Batista and yes to unemployment.
Ashley Massaro has done the dirty-dirty with the Miz, Matt Hardy, and Paul London.

Chyna has shown her she-penis to Triple H and X-Pac.
Dawn Marie was with Simon Diamond and rumored to have had a relationship with Kurt Angle.
Debra's cookies have been eaten by Stone Cold and Mongo McMichael.
Elizabeth married the Macho Man.
Gail Kim has been linked with Doug Basham.
Hiroki loved America and Kenzo Suzuki.
Jackie Gayda married Charlie Haas.
Jazz thugs and bugs with Rodney Mack.
Jillian Hall married James Dick.
The Kat divorced Jerry "The King" Lawler after having an affair with Russ Haas.
Kelly Kelly has been linked with Batista and Test
Kristal Marshall has been linked with Bobby Lashley and Matt Striker
Lita has fucked everyone
Melina has been linked with Batista and John Morrison
Michelle McCool has been linked to the Undertaker
Mickie James has been linked with John Cena, Kenny Dykstra, CM Punk, and Joey Mercury
Missy Hyatt… oh jesus.
Maria has been linked with Carlito, CM Punk, and Santino Marella
Ryan Shamrock liked her brother Ken a little too much.
Sable has been with Marc Mero, Brock Lesnar, and even Vince McMahon
Stacy Kiebler has been with David Flair and Test
Stephanie McMahon married Triple H and presumably messed around with Macho Man Randy Savage. Oh yeah!
Sunny married Chris Candido, fucked Shawn Michaels, had "Sunny Days" with Bret Hary, Ahmed Johnson, and various other wrestlers for drugs.
Terri Runnels married Goldust.
Torrie Wilson has been married to Billy Kidman and is currently dating Nicky
Trish Stratus was close friends with Lillian Garcia
Tracy Brooks has been seen with CM Punk.
Velvet Sky is currently being tapped by Gregory Helms.
Nitro Girl Whisper was involved with husband HBK's storyline with Chris Jericho.
Ahem, I know I'm missing many more. Feel free to discuss in the comment section and most importantly, contribute to the thread in the forums.
While many wrestlers have found romance with WWE Divas, others try to do things the normal way: pick chicks up at the bar. Case in point:
Horny Hayes indeed!
The following is sponsored by "Yes Man" starring Jim Carrey.
In shocking news, the WWE released longtime creative member Bruce Prichard. According to Figure4Weekly, "Prichard was not at TV the past two weeks and people were told he was on vacation. Stephanie had been negative on Prichard in recent years as she saw him as Vince McMahon's biggest yes-man. She's buried him in the past, sometimes in front of others at creative team meetings, believing he was not paying attention and/or giving non-committal answers. She made the official call to cut him loose. With Prichard being a senior member in WWE, he had a large contract that Stephanie could justify cutting - although he often complained about taking a pay cut when he moved from Head of Talent Relations to creative."
Rumor has it that since Stephanie has returned from pregnancy leave, she has wanted to shake things up on the Raw brand. Firing Prichard definitely shows that every member of the creative team is not safe, which can ultimately lead to a wake-up call for some creative writers. One day, Stephanie will be in charge of the company, so I'm glad to see her "spread her wings" so to speak. If she needs to take charge and make the tough decisions to help get the WWE out of a funk, then so be it.
In addition, Prichard has had a history of questionable decisions (since 2004, the WWE tests him weekly for drugs due to past drug abuses) which has led to him being overlooked on many job promotions. While he was a Vince yes-man, at some point, he should be held accountable for his actions.
Don't feel too bad for Prichard as he is good friends with Jeff Jarrett. TNA could sure use another ex-WWE employee!
STRIPES!
Lots of information has been leaked regarding this year's Tribute to the Troops special. News include:
WWE superstars include John Cena, Batista, Lillian Garcia, Kelly Kelly, Maria, Mickie James, Eve Torres, Chris Jericho, John Morrison, the Miz, Cryme Tyme, Jeff Hardy, Alicia Fox, and Heidenreich.
Hulk Hogan has once again turned down Vince's offer to be a part of the Tribute to the Troops show. This time, he cited his ongoing divorce as the main reason why he cannot attend the show. In the past, his reasons weren't as good.
The one-hour special will open with a taped message from President George W. Bush.
There's no chance that the following will happen this year (NSFW).
NEWS FROM O-TOWN
TNA Wrestler Salaries
Hey kids, do you ever wish to one day be a TNA Superstar? Ever wonder how much does your favorite Superstar get paid? Ever wonder what kind of perks there are to be sleeping with Dixie Carter? Well, it's time to stop wondering and start knowing the truth.
Two weeks ago, I was searching various message boards to find some news for my column and I landed on a whopper: TNA wrestler's salaries. Of course, I do not have a complete source with this, which might mean its fake; however, I'm still going to post it and advise you all to take it with a grain of salt. Except for you, Jimmy Rave, you might need to lay off the salt and invest your money in the stock market (WHAMMY).

Lessons to be learned
1. Even a low-carder is making good bank in TNA.
Unlike in the WWE where there's a large variance between a jobber and a main eventer, in TNA, there's a lot more parity. Outside of Jimmy Rave, all of the other male roster members make at least six figures. Now I'm not surprised why many wrestlers want to work in TNA.
2. Christian Cage made at least $54,000 by jumping to TNA.
Three years ago, Christian was earning $396,000 in the WWE. While $54,000 might not seem like too much when he moved to TNA, think of all the money he saved due to reduced travel costs and an easier schedule. Now I definitely know why ex-WWE wrestlers want to sign with TNA. (Kenny, look at what your future holds.)
3. TNA really needs to trim their roster down.
Looking over this list, one thing is definitely apparent: TNA really needs a roster cut as they drastically overspend on wrestlers' salaries. There's no reason why TNA is spending $300,000 on nothing more than a comedy character (Curry Man). How the fuck is Frank Trigg making $200,000 when he has only had one PPV match? And no wonder why Gail Kim wanted to leave TNA when she made the same amount as Karen Angle! If TNA really wants to succeed as a profitable business, they really should maximize the performance out of their higher paid superstars and cut the underperformers.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
Tune in next week when I have a little more motivation to write a news report. Perhaps I might even bring back the Khali-For-All! Until then…
Meehan's in tomorrow.
For the Thursday Small-For-All News Report, I'm Jeff Small… and you're not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suspect that list is nonsense, given that TNA pay wrestlers based on appearances rather than as a salary.

Ya know, the Tribute to the Troops is great and all because hey, they deserve some entertainment. However...depriving them of stripp...errr, wwe divas "undressing" is just mean. Think of the only women, outside of fellow enlisted women and I don't know how that works out as far as "legality" goes, they get to see or nail right now, and hey, they deserve to see even that much tail any chance they have(and maybe the ones barely hangin' on the roster *ahem Katie Lea ahem* toss 'em a hummer or maybe a rubski).

Posted By: BMo. (Guest) on December 04, 2008 at 12:50 AM
Thanks Jeff Small! If that was included in your original column it wouldn't have seemed so short. We all learned a important lesson in doing research, Me, you and that Homie guy!
And if you read our comments, it wasn't about Kenny Dykstra, it was more than that but I read your columns so I understand how you didn't fully understand. This never would have happened if Homie had just answered in the first place instead of being insulting but you finally researched your point and I thank you for that! We have all grown this week and it's because of you, Small, it's because of you, Kahli is a lucky, lucky man!....
In closing, you were a bit rude in your closing comments to me but that's expected when Homie and my thread was a more interesting read than your recap of everyone else's columns, I mean your interesting and eventual informative column!
Good job, Jeff Small, Good Job!

Stephanie may end up running the business some day, but I don't expect Vince Jr to ever step down and when he finally passes on in 20 or 30 years I could imagine that the reigns may be passed on to one of Shane's kids. Vince just doesn't seem like a retirement guy.

yah, but he seems like the "HOLY SHIT! I did too much steroids and was too high-strung" kinda guy... that would make him a "HOLY SHIT!! My heart EXPLODED!!!!" kinda guy wayyyyyy before that 20-30 years you gave him.
might want to re-think that. I love Vince and all he's done but I would be stunned if he made it near where you think he's going, no offense.

I also know that some of the reason Carlito wanted to leave was Candice was dating him and cheated on Carlito with Hardy (Theres pictures of them) and Randy kept giving Carlito shit about it.
Also Mickie was a MASSIVE rat back in her indy days.
Kelly Kelly has fucked John Morrison, and Shelly fucked nearly everyone in the wwe, Maria and CM broke up because she fucked Cena and another guy. Did i mention its great meeting wrestlers when their pissed?

" Trish Stratus was close friends with Lillian Garcia"
This part demands more explanation.
And pictures :)

Earl Hebner makes more than a good chunk of the card? Karen Angle makes more than Knockouts who wrestle? Fake list is fake.
Also, I believe it was NBC who wanted Hogan on the Tribute. Vince isn't too happy with him right now...

According to this TNA Salaries list, the company is also REALLY sexist when it comes to pay. Every woman on the roster - even Awesome Kong - makes less money than Earl freaking Hebner. Hell, most of the make less money than Hector Guerrero! So much for equality among the sexes.

Absolutely wrong about Marijuana Small. ABSOLUTELY. But before I say anything else let me be polite and say-- great article, I usually really enjoy it. BUT-- if you have ever known anyone with a REAL addiction it is NOT like marijuana at all. Marijuana, I would define as "habit forming" which is different-- the only thing that's "addictive" about it is the same things that cause people to become "addicted" to television or the internet-- they're used to it, enjoy it too much etc...
I myself spent the last year struggling to quit smoking (cigarettes), and I can tell you-- if I have to go a day or week without Pot, I get annoyed but it's not the same ballpark, sport or universe as trying to quit something truly addictive. That said great article... and Kenny's a douche.
Posted By: M:-X (Guest) on December 04, 2008 at 08:11 AM
A few points-
1) The relationship list seems kind of suspect. I know that in a world where Test nailed Kelly Kelly anything is possible, but some of these seem like storylines and reality getting mixed up.
2) Malenko sighting at the right of the clubbing picture? (!) Man of a 1,000 grooves!
3)I'm not sure if it's just the way you phrased it, but "There's no reason why TNA is spending $300,000 on nothing more than a comedy character (Curry Man)" seems to imply your advocating cutting Daniels loose. To me, it seems like more of a problem with their booking and how they're using him than anything. Was that what you meant?
4)How depressed must Chris Sabin and Alex Shelly be to know that Don fucking West makes as much money as they do? Also, it makes me laugh (though it doesn't suprise me) that Jarrett makes 10 times what Rave and Creed make. Of course, as you said yourself, the whole list could be bullshit.
Thanks for acknowledging my comments from last week Small. It really bothers me that DiBiase and Santino put lives in danger and were seemingly rewarded while Kendrick is apparently in the doghouse for leaving some hotel rooms with a funny smell in them.
Posted By: Hawkeye (Guest) on December 04, 2008 at 08:17 AM
Wow, holy filler Batman. This column this week is unacceptable. You posted an argument that only two of your lesser readers cared about, posted a list of rumored wrestler/ring rat hook-ups, and then posted a list of "salaries" you found on god knows what message board.
To think that you did all of this when you could have worked on a Khali-For-All. I wanted to know how many potatoes it takes to make him mashed potatoes. How many cups of gravy does he go through. What's his favorite pie? Does he drink wine? How many bottles does it take to get the Punjabi Playboy tipsy? Does TGK have a renewed confidence in Donovan McNabb to get the job done after his performance in Thursday night's game? These are the questions that keep me up at night.
Not really, but next time just make something up yourself instead of posting other people's nonsense.

Seriously CM does stand for Chick Magnet. that dude has nailed as much ass as anyone in the biz.
I guess there wasn't room on the list for Raven. didn't he nail Dixie Carter?

A couple of OMG's in here...
Trish and Lillian? If I wasn't at work, I'd split screen their pictures and work on my O-Face.
Be careful eating all of that chicken skin. All of your WWE friends will start to ignore you like you are dead, except for that little yellow haired kid (you know - Dolph Ziggler).
Actually - they are just picking up Heidenreich from a troops visit 3 years ago - they forgot him there and are now just trying to make it seem like he never left. I think it was Pritchard's fault as he was designated as the chaperone for that visit, and they just realized that for 3 years Heidenreich was missing.

-ryan shamrock is currently doin x-pac
-rey was rumored to have been with nitro girl spice
-cutting curryman/chris daniels is a stupid idea. Granted, they really don't use him as well as they should, but he's over huge with fans and equals cash when it comes to merch
Posted By: mr #1deful (Guest) on December 04, 2008 at 09:43 AM
That pimp Hornswaggle has 3 legs!
I don't ever think that Vince will die. I picture him coming out to the ring, post-stroke (think Anthony Hopkins in Legends of the Fall), and mush-mouthing out "YOU'RE FIRRRRRREDDDDD!" Of course, noone will understand him. After that, he'll have someone pulldown his depends and kiss his shit-stained ass.
Also, while the topic of "she-penises" is up, I wonder if Stephanie has a bigger one than Chyna. She's a big gal, almost masculine at times. Maybe HHH is into that?
I don't know how valid the TNA money list is but a couple of disturbing thoughts...
#1 - Don West gets paid %150K to annoy me?
#2 - Sharkboy makes more than I do (with a M.Ed.)?
Looking back, I guess I should have toured the fairgrounds wrestling after college, rather than getting my masters.
Why all the hate on the Blue Oyster?
Pot is not addictive. I smoked pot religiously for 10+ years. I got up, bong hit. Breakfast, bong hit. Put clothes in washer, bong hit. In dryer, bong hit. Fold,... You get the picture. When it came time, for whatever reason, to stop, I did. No sweats. No bodyaches. No headaches. See someone that suffers from real addiction try to stop. I know people that can't be around cigarettes, because smelling smoke makes them want to drink alcohol, whick makes them want cocaine, which makes them want to smoke crack (for days). That's some scary shit, sister. Honestly, the WWE could probably care less about marijuana if it didn't look bad to advertisers and stock holders. For the most part, it's harmless and probably helps relax the wrestlers.
Good article, Small. Thank you for answering my question on Khali and the turkey. You are currently #2 on my shagging list, behind Cook (which coincidentally is my favorite spot!).
By the way, my name is the Big Fat Fag, not the Big Fat F@g. Don't be such a pussy.

you know, even if this list is legit, and Jarret does make that much, it oculd be because the owner would need to make at least more than the highest paid employee (Kurt Angle) and you odn't know how much of that money he pours right back into TNA.

So let me get this straight - you were searching message boards, found a list of salaries in TNA and jumped for joy at the "whopper" you found. Now you're analyzing it as if it is accurate. Of course. Because anything printed in an Internet message board has to be true right? No wonder IWC writers aren't taken seriously by anyone other than themselves.
Posted By: Bob (Guest) on December 04, 2008 at 01:37 PM
This article is the perfect example of why 99 percent of "IWC" writers are generally fucking pathetic.
In one column you've passed your bullshit judgement on Kenny Dykstra & Brian Kendrick as if you're somehow in the know about anything - the quote "According to the Wrestling Observer and various other fine dirtsheets" says it all really. You've really got some reputable insider info there champ! Fucking Hack.
The real joke though is quoting bullshit FORUM POSTS in an article as if they can be taken for anything. You wonder why pro wrestlers (you know, the guys that bust their bodies night in and night out so lazy jabronis like you can write this crap about them) fucking despise all the internet smarks? This article here proves why.
This is total slander and complete hack writing of the lowest kind. Do us all a favour and save your crappy hearsay-rumour bullshit and uninformed high & mighty judgemental smark crap for the shitty forums you frequent, dickhead.
I've been a wrestling fan for decades now and I am really, truly sick of the so-called 'IWC' and the asshole smark fucks that personify it like this douchebag.

hey, "The Truth", feel better now? You really showed that highly paid internet journalist a thing or two. Small, please do me a favour and don't respond to the completely ignorant and self righteously indignant comments. Your column was great.
Also: Small's points about marijuana were apparently ignored by most readers. Whereas I personally look to certain drugs to balance out my life, Brian Kendrick made a choice to stick with his vice as opposed to making his job a priority. It was a decision he made that we as fans have to put up with because the office won't support an "independent contractor" who abuses illegal drugs. Do I understand Kendrick's desire to get stoned in a life where you take a beating and then have to travel for hours regularly? Fuck yes. Do I think it's shitty that Vince and co. don't appreciate how much help such a small vice can be for certain people? Yes. The fact remains that WWE is a company, it's run by a man who is against pot, and Kendrick doesn't seem to care. It's his choice, I only hope it's worth it to him.

I always knew that kenny was a jackass. No wonder Mickie broke up with him. She can come over to my house anytime.

I would be listed as registered if I knew how to stay that way.
Anyway,
Thanks Jeff for the thread promotion. I didn't think when I started it that it would wind up being so popular. It's amazing how just ONE story of a wrestler banging a diva has turned into HUNDREDS.
(All I did was post the Batista/Kelly Kelly story for those who haven't seen the thread and it turned into Diva banging MADNESS.)
I guess that's the wrestling biz though.
When you have pent up, agressive poon fiends like Big Dave around and Divas that can't wait to get "speared" and "spinebustered" by them it makes for a fun combo to talk about. Not as much fun as them getting to do it, but fun for us to talk about LOL.
For anyone that wants to find the thread it's in the Raw forum at the very top of the page.
Feel free to join in on the fun we've been having the last couple of days.
You won't regret it.
BTW, for guys bashing it. We're just having some fun. Don't take it so literal.
and for "The Truth":
If you can't stand internet smarks then why are you posting comments here? In fact why are you here at all?
You seem to be surrounding yourself with the same people you say you hate.
What's up with that?

The Truth is either an 18 year old who likes to talk shit over the internet or a 30 year old who stays at home and thinks that this stuff is still real. I have $20 on the second one...

I fucked Mickie James about a year before she came to WWE. She has what we call a 'bucket muff'... those thunder thighs sure do give a thunder grip though.
Isn't Batista dating Kelly Kelly a little wrong.. I mean he is twice her age.. tut tut.
Posted By: Andrew Barbarash (Guest) on December 04, 2008 at 05:10 PM
..yeah, Cena has been smashing Mickie James for awhile now. They even hinted at it in a few storylines.

I expect that when the time comes (meaning when either Vince kicks the bucket or his kids are tired of waiting for him to kick the bucket and oust him out of control of WWE) there's gonna be a very messy power struggle, with Shane on one side, and Stephanie and Triple H on the other. To start with, we've already seen based on what little influence each of the McMahon siblings have, that they share extremely different opinions on which way the business should go. If either or both of them are anything like their pop, that's a recipe for dissention right there. Also, and I hate to pull the "Triple H megalomania" card, but I just have that odd sort of vibe that the guys is chomping at the bit to run the company, has been for some time, and would stab whoever he had to in the back to do it (though you can't say Vince didn't do the same thing with the majority of his territory-owning competition when he took control of World Wrestling from his old man).
Hell, it may even split the collective roster down the middle, with some people with an axe to grind against Triple H siding with Shane, and others siding with Stephanie, depending on who thinks who's the winning horse (honestly, that'd be a hell of a storyline...sort of a chance for a better do-over of the invasion).
I don't believe the McMahon family, after being raised by their father's example to obliterate any competition that stands in your way (and coupled with Triple H's larger than life ambitions) is capable of sharing that company. They're going to tear each other apart until there's only one insane Irish millionaire standing. It's like Highlander...with chokeholds.

150k for West?? 200k for Tenay?? Are you kidding me? Hell Matt Striker and Todd Grisham are better to listen to than those 2 schmucks and I'm betting they aren't making that much bank.

THAT'S RIGHT! I support injecting drugs with a needle not smoking them. Unless they have some new roid that I can sprinkle on my cuban cigars that I smoke out of Rush Limbaughs ass.

Let me get this straight, you guys are surprise should I say about who is tapping who in the sport of pro wrestling? Less we forget half of them in the TNA and WWE and when WCW was around they are fully paid hookers and sluts. There is an old adatage saying that you can take a whore off the streets but you can't take the whore out of them once a whore is always a slut. And to think they are getting paid more to slut in the ring than in the streets, I have heard everything. I mean whatever a wrestler does is his business and needs to stay behind close doors, because that just shows you how cheap the wrestling business has become. What the wrestling business has done is shaved these sluts down teach them what to say and make them appear to be someone they have picked that is realistic when actually in reality they went to every porn site they could find to look for the best possible suspect that would fit the bill that they were looking for who might or who might cannot cut it into the wrestling business. Let's look at Christy Hemme in TNA, its funny that she can go to TNA and be a 9th hit wonder of whoevers world but could not wrestle a lick at a snake in the WWE. And Layla oh lord hookers R US. I mean let's face it what happened to real female wrestlers that actually brought integrity to the sport. WOmen used to not be able to wresle in the ring and have equal rights as men and to think that many females greats like Jazz, Jacqueline, Medusa and the late great Ms. Elizabeth have all been taken in vain due to the sexuality that is being brought in the sport. Saying that Christy Hemme can be TNA knockout champion from Awesome Kong who beats men by the way is like saying that Michelle McCool can one day beat Edge for the WWE smackdown championship.
To talk about the salaries of the TNA superstars is ridiculous. To think that Sting gets paid $500,000 to not wrestle at times it appalling. Just like Rhyno said he (Sting) and the rest of the MEM needs to sit or step aside and let the young guys get a shot at stardom. Some of them need to realize that some stepped down for them have the same courtesy and let the young guns get that touch at stardom. And to think they are running an angle toward ODB and Sharmelle. Saying that Sharmelle can beat ODB is like saying King Kong can beat President Bush in a no holds barred match for a seat in the white house. Let's get back to the real wrestling and pay the real wrestlers what they truly deserve and stop paying these wrestlers that are old, washed up and need to go to the retirement home for professional wrestling if they have one. I thought that was TNA was, if you think about it, lets face it half the wrestlers there are old, washed up and need to seek retirement fast and quit embarrassing themselves.

Truth, you can tell Dykestra is a douchebag just by his myspace post after his release.
Who the fuck is he supposed to be better than? Funaki has more of a personality, and could no doubt wrestle rings around the guy. The boy is an asshole, enough said.
As for Kendrick, he's just stupid. But are any of the pro-pot guys trying to tell me that Kendrick never ONCE got behind the wheel of a car while high?
Come on now, now who's being naive?

"As for Kendrick, he's just stupid. But are any of the pro-pot guys trying to tell me that Kendrick never ONCE got behind the wheel of a car while high?

Ask anyone who's ever actually tried it and they will tell you there is a massive world of difference between driving drunk and driving while high on pot. Hell, some people argue that they drive BETTER when they're high because they're more cautious and more "zoned in" to the actual driving. Won't stand up in court, but driving while high isn't even close to as reckless as driving drunk (for most folks anyway, and probably, depending on the quality of the pot itself).
Does Kendrick not drive while high, or can he just drive normally while high? I can't tell you. But I can tell you he hasn't racked up any DUIs. Which, considering all this "Kendrick smokes pot" speculation came from the Observer (which has certainly not been 100% accurate in their reporting over the years), is the only real fact we have to go on here.

I agree with "The Truth" completely on this one. While he may have gone over-the-top a bit in his attack, his general point is valid - that thoughtless writers on websites like these (which, believe it or not, are quite popular) post up shoddily written, poorly researched ramblings about the private lives of wrestlers and so-called "backstage insider info" pretty much every single day, the overwhelming majority of which is absolute bullshit. I am also growing sick of it all to be honest.
The way so many people react to Jeff Hardy, constantly judging him and condemning him when they dont even fucking know him, is a good example of this. When you all have worldwide fanbases, shift millions of dollars worth of merchandise and regularly main-event huge PPV's then I might value your opinions to be worth more than they are now - i.e., nothing.

Bullshit cuz they get paid per show.

Great job Jeff, very entertaining, but I can't believe you didn't mention the rumoured tryst between Steph McMahon and Bruce Pritchard. Don't know if there is anything "there", but it seemed to have at least more cred than the Macho thing, which, best as I can tell, is pure fabrication that inexplicably picked up steam at some point.

comments to Potato Ball, I might be crazy, but I am not afraid to say what some might be afraid to say I mean lets face it, either you can't wrestle or you can. I mean I am not taking anything away from some of the divas that they have, but you still have to realize a lot of the guys is not going to remember anything the woman did in the sport except the fact that she screwed everyone in the profession and does that make her more of a woman for doing that. Less if you ask me.
Question: Have you ever seen a man come out to the ring with his good hanging out for the world to see, so why should the woman, I mean it is all fair game and I am entitled to my opinion just like everyone else and if these women are getting screwed by anything and everything what exactly does that do for the sport that is loved by the millions and millions of true die hard wrestling fans that love wrestling like myself. If you want to wrestle, then wrestle, if not leave the sport, way too much information is being talked about who is sleeping with you, I mean as the world turns has nothing on the WWE nor TNA and I am not knocking either because they are both enjoyable to watch when they are not putting you to sleep with boredom. But the average womans breast size is not the size of a basketball. Dolly Parton would laugh at the sight of what some of claiming are their full cleverage. How can you go from a 34 A or a 32A to a 34DDD by Friday and you had the 34's to 32's on Monday. If that is the case, then they need to let me know what their secret is so I can get me some. They do call that breast implants if my memory serves me right. Again, these divas or whatever you want to call them do not have to take their cloths off to prove that athlethicism as a professional athlete. They do not need to place their personal lives for others because that is a definite sign that you need to get a life. Let's wrestle for Christ's sake and leave the bull at the house.
I know if I go to a house show or I spend $45 to $50 for a PPV I want to see wrestling not a pillow fight. If I want to see that I can go to my relatives and get excitement from there, but we need to take into also consideration that kids are watching and that is not appropriate for a girl to think that when I grow up I want to take my cloths off and show my assets for the world or it is ok for a man to whop a woman up side the head if she gets out of line. It is too much domestic violence and we don't need to add onto the schemes that the TNA and WWE are putting out. I love wrestling, but it is gotten way out of hand. Look at all the wrestlers that are turning up dead, it is not just a coincidence about the latest being found dead in the parking lot in his car of all places. Lets take wrestling back to the old school.
