WWE News: More On Jeff Hardy, Plans For Breaking Point & After, CM Punk Interview, More
Posted by Ashish on 09.12.2009
Even more Saturday news...
- Jeff Hardy's arrest has not really been covered by anyone outside of the wrestling media except TMZ. [Credit: Wrestling Observer]
- Hardy's arrest will make it much tougher for him to score a reality TV show, especially one on a major network, as he was hoping for when he left WWE. This will also make it much harder for him to ever get a job with WWE again. [Credit: Wrestling Observer]
- Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison was pulled from the Breaking Point card because WWE could not come up with a finish for the match, possibly due to not wanting more than one screwjob finish on the same show, which may end up relating to CM Punk vs. The Undertaker. Adding Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz was a late decision. The plan as of now is to have Ziggler vs. Morrison at the Hell in the Cell PPV in three weeks, though that could change. The original plan was to have the Undertaker beat CM Punk at the PPV tomorrow, but sentiment backstage now is that the timing is wrong for that, so the match may end up with a screwjob finish, setting up a Hell in the Cell match between the two in three weeks. [Credit: Wrestling Observer]
- Most expect John Cena to win the WWE Title tomorrow night. [Credit: Wrestling Observer]
- The Hamilton Spectator has an interview up with CM Punk where he talks about The Wrestler and his straight-edge lifestyle, as well as enjoying working with the Undertaker. Check out the article here.
- SLAM! has an interview up with Carlito where he talks about visiting family in Toronto, his feud with Primo, his frustration with not being on the Breaking Point card, and more. Check out the article here.
" Hardy's arrest will make it much tougher for him to score a reality TV show, especially one on a major network, as he was hoping for when he left WWE. This will also make it much harder for him to ever get a job with WWE again."
Celebrity Rehab would love to have him.
And if you think for a second VH-1 wouldn't give him a TV show specifically because of the drug arrest, you'd be wrong.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

For Dolph Ziggler and Morrison-They could have just had Morrison beat Ziggler clean in the ring, and then after the match Morrison could have layed him out. There's no need to pull a screwjob.
CM Punk versus Undertaker: Now even though Undertaker just returned to the WWE, its too early to have him win the title from CM Punk. They definitely should let Punk retain tomorrow. Undertaker winning the title at Breaking Point should have never been in the cards. It's too premature. Punk has got momentum and he's on a roll. Let him hold on to it for a couple more months before he loses it to Taker. The backstage sentiment is on point.

What a fucking surprise! I thought this column was supposed to provide us with NEWS. It's fucking John Cena, of course he's taking the title, even though he doesn't need it.
Posted By: A-Ron (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 07:53 PM
Well Jeff Hardy could always do one of those anti-drug PSAs and talk about how drug addiction fucked him out of a reality show and a return to WWE.
It's amazing how last month, Jeff was on SmackDown bullshitting about the only thing he was high on was being World Heavyweight champion.
Even longer ago, when he returned from his 2nd-strike suspension, he said he made a mistake and learned his lesson...
Again... BULLSHIT!

Jeff Hardy's arrest is online on the Fayetteville Observer website.

Well, the only screwy way to end it is by having both men be incapacitated to the point where neither of them can continue resulting in a draw or no contest. That, or both will tap out at the same time, but I don't have a clue how it's possible for 2 guys to have submission holds put on each other for that to happen.
Posted By: Ricky C. (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 08:01 PM
Undertaker and Cena winning are terrible ideas (more so The Undertaker). Taker's days as champion are behind him, it's just unnecessary now, and Punk can't just keep losing the title and winning it back. WWE needs to finally just get behind the guy and stay behind him, they were able to do so for JBL for crying out loud. I would actually be okay with a finish where Punk passes out to the Devil's Gate, but the title doesn't change hands because he didn't actually submit. Punk would look somewhat tough for holding out (a la Austin) and Taker would get a victory before going on to lose at HiaC.
It might make sense for Cena to take the title if they're going to have a heel champ on Smackdown, but I feel like Orton is reaching a critical point with this title reign. It would be nice to see him get be Cena and actually feud with someone who isn't Dr. Thug or the gang of H's. The problem, of course, is who? I guess they'll hit the same wall if Cena gets the title though.

I disagree.. I think a reality show with Jeff Hardy would be a hit.. People love train wrecks... Maybe focus on Jeff Getting help
Posted By: Horhay (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 08:26 PM
They've done such a good job getting Punk over as a heel... Taker should be putting him over to show he is really a credible threat in WWE. Taking the belt off him now just kills everything...
Posted By: Guest#4186 (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 08:27 PM
Taker should lose. He has'nt done anything in two months!
Posted By: doc (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 08:29 PM
Cena has to win tommorrow, he lost to Orton at both Night Of Champions & Summerslam and Orton outsmarted him the last 2 weeks on Raw, if Cena loses again his indestructible aura will really be gone.
Posted By: Guest#3670 (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 08:33 PM
Anyone else read the punk interview? It was obviously meant to be put up on Monday. It says that Punk WAS the heavyweight champion heading into last night's PPV.

You'd think the notoriety of being busted for drugs would make it easier for Jeff to land a reality show gig...

It's cute that for all the "mainstream attention" all these stupid guest hosts were supposed to get the WWE, when one of the three top babyfaces in the company gets arrested with cocaine two weeks after leaving NO ONE reports it.

Celebrity Rehab? Becomes the first successful one to leave, and then gets his own show?
Posted By: Guest#1062 (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 09:22 PM
I can understand that about Morrison/Ziggler.
There has been no build. Ziggler has to win after losing so many times to Rey. Otherwise this build has been for nothing. Plus, Dolph has beaten the other mid-carders for the opportunity for the belt. So bury Dolph and the entire mid-card has been buried. Smackdown would just be a mini-Raw.
However, Morrison should not just be a transitional IC champion (and how sad would that be?). Certainly not if you want to push him in a feud for gold. So he needs to hold this until at least the next PPV.
A screw-job finish would have satisfied the different requirements, but if they have too many in the same night the PPV looks silly and unimaginative.
Posted By: Guest#8318 (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 09:25 PM
Jesus fucking christ!!! Why the fuck does 'Taker need to have the belt again?!?! Put over some new talent you balding old fuck
Posted By: Tom z (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 09:34 PM
"Most expect John Cena to win the WWE Title tomorrow night."
Of course. Have Orton say I Quit and put the belt on Cena, AGAIN!! We know Super Cena will never say I Quit, then ANOTHER MATCH between them at the next PPV and then have Batista turn Orton into his bitch soon after.

I'm sorry but any way you cut it, that's not news, it's pure speculation

Carlito - frustrated - about not being on a card?
I haven't heard that one before!
Maybe creative shouldn't have broken up the Colons and Carlito would have more to do other than rock an emo-fro.
Posted By: Sammy (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 09:55 PM
This will also make it much harder for him to ever get a job with WWE again.
How the hell would they know that

SO WHAT! Randy Orton and HHH will get the title back for themselves, same with Batista. It means nothing! Michaels and Kane will get their yearly battles as has Undertaker.
Posted By: Kenster (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 10:38 PM
it really should have said spoiler or possible spoiler I have little urg to buying the PPV knowing a screw job and Cena's next title reign is what i have to look for
Posted By: Guest#8508 (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Does anyone else get the feeling that whenever we have these vague reports that are accredited to random backstage people they're either B.S. or just flat out wrong?
This news actually makes me thing Orton will retain and that Punk was always scheduled to keep the title.
Posted By: Tom Talker (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:00 PM
I remember during the attitude area, there were countless screwjob finishes in every PPV and I still ended up enjoying the PPV. As long as the screwjob has a good story behind it, it's fine.
Posted By: 2kev (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:04 PM
The biggest screwjob would have been letting 'Taker have the title in his very first match back. What a great way to screw over all the work and effort CM Punk's put in over the last few months.
Posted By: Cat Meadows (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:08 PM
I was never a big CM Punk fan.....but he has become the best heel in wrestling...and I look forward to his every comment now....he's doing a great job. Don't derail him now by taking the title away from him. I am sitting here just thinking of what he COULD now say about Jeff Hardy.....damn..imagine the heat when he walks out and says...."I Told you so"......UT can wait....he doesnt need the title to be over with the crowd
Posted By: Ken (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Nasawwa, I agree. It seemed they were shaping to make Punk the next JBL, but now they're just sucking up to the big fan-bases; Mysterio, Hardy, and with them gone, Undertaker.
Posted By: Panth (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:21 PM
get lost c.m. punk you are nothing but a chris jrricho wannabe.you stole his atack the parents routine.And the insults to the crowd.Get your own material you phoney
Posted By: guest (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:28 PM
The only reason they got pulled is because I'll be going through a bunch of 'finishes' with them tomorrow night!
Posted By: Pat Patterson (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:35 PM
In the 18 years he's been in the company, Taker has only had 1 of his 6 title reigns last over 2 months. Complaining about him being champion too much is idiotic.
Posted By: Guest#3162 (Guest) on September 12, 2009 at 11:52 PM
Meltzer doesn't even care anymore, this is just random speculation mixed in with stating the obvious.

Who said it was a submission match?
Posted By: His Bubbliness (Guest) on September 13, 2009 at 12:08 AM
How about Taker puts over Punk clean, the end? There is no need for Punk to drop the belt at any point in this feud. Taker is forever over and does not need the belt.

If the writers can't come up with a finish for a match, then they are NOT doing what they're being paid 5 figures or whatever figure Vince pays them!
Hire me Vince! My 5 year old nephew could probably no doubt come up with better storylines & finishes for matches & he's not even allowed to watch wrestling!
So it looks like they're going to be doing the pattern of "screwing" the Undertaker in the first match of his new feud with CM Puke, having no winner in the first match, leading to a rematch at Hell In A Cell...sigh!...Again, Sigh!...Well, it had better be worth it!

Here's an idea for a finish: clean pinfall win after hitting a finisher. If you need shenanigans before then, use a sledgehammer. Seems to have worked for HHH for roughly 10 years now. Apparently it's only a problem when HHH is not involved in a match, then they can't come up with a finish.
Posted By: Guest#3219 (Guest) on September 13, 2009 at 02:44 AM
I'd put good money down that Batista lays out 'taker and then Punk wins with the vice on an unconsious 'taker. Next week Batista announces he's coming to Smackdown to restart his feud with 'taker.
Posted By: mrfish (Guest) on September 13, 2009 at 04:37 AM
It's past time for Cena to regain the title. I've been pleasantly surpised by Orton's performance as champion but Cena is the one who should have the title.

Posted By: lilwayne1 (Guest) on September 13, 2009 at 11:50 AM
this is on undertaker and c.m. punk.
the way i see it, undertaker has been a favorite of mine for along time, ive i have a personaly hand signed autograph picture from him to me, and you could say we're friends, ive emailed him serverals times and messaged him also on the web. . ya ya ya, some of you is saying yeah right or more like b.s. / believe me undertaker
( mark ) is a very nice guy for real. .he doesnt mind putting people over the top in the wwe , infact vince says the he is a better chaser to the championship belt as a holder and undertaker does, what it takes to keep the business going, , undertaker has never summited nor never lost at wrestlemania ,, now by undertaker beating c.m. punk tonight, would only make it better for punk .. you ask why ,, because .then punk has more of a long fued with undertaker by beating him at this coming smackdown .. look if punk beats taker tonight just means he beat him coming back winning nothing but a submission match. but if taker wins the belt, punk can later, beat taker by submission and taking the belt from taker on national tv show. making more of a heel character . i know that there will be more people, watching smackdown than ppv. ppv cost money, smackdown is on tv. then undertaker can still chase the championship belt title more from punk , sounds crazy eh, , i just think that would be better if it goes that way , for the undetaker and c.m. punk fued !!! by the way even tho undetaker is my favorite, , c.m. punk is a great wrestler and character. i'd like to see him in the wwe for many more years to come !!!

I have been the biggest Undertaker fan since I started watching wrestling about 20 years ago, but he should NOT beat CM Punk, let alone 3 weeks after he won the belt. Punk should keep screwing over the Undertaker for the next few months, and if the WWE is desperate have him get the belt at Survivor Series. If they had Punk lose this soon it would destroy all momentum his character has gained. Don't be stupid WWE, Undertaker doesn't NEED to belt at all.
