Hows this for fucked up? From Meltzer...

Wasn't Nosawa's weed that was found in the paintings in Japan...another guy planted it there to fuck him over. Dayum.

How's this for a crazy story? From Kris Zellner: In the crazy news department, Sugi San stated at Narita Airport early this morning in Tokyo that he was the one that planted the marijuana in the painting that NOSAWA & Io Shirai was caught with by customs agents after they returned home from Mexico last May. Both were arrested on drug charges which is serious business in Japan but a couple of weeks ago it was announced that charges weren't going to be pressed against them and the case was dropped. So this morning, Sugi San and conspirator Masahiro Hayashi who works as Sol Luna admitted to doing it to setup NOSAWA who Sugi had some issues with and Hayashi was the one that procured the drugs. Sugi said that he wanted to come clean and tell everyone because NOSAWA found out that he did it and he was coming for him so he was flying to Mexico which he was booked for anyway and he probably wouldn't be coming back for a while. AAA sent out a press release this afternoon saying that they had no knowledge of this situation and are doing their own investigation but implied that Sugi wouldn't be booked anymore.

That must've been a thing to see, Hawkins talking to Rock about Steen and giving him DVDs.

[FedEx227]

Would have NEVER guessed that.

[JayDizzle]

Steen and Dwayne?

We must be in Alternative Universe B.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

True story...Rock loves all kinds of wrestling.

When I interviewed him a few years ago, we talked wrestling after...guy knows his shit...doesn't follow it like W2B, but always open to new guys overseas and Indy talent.

Just tried to watch RAW on DVR...almost painfully boring and just a waste of a show. I swear, if the 1000th episode is anything close to this shit, fuck 3 hour Raws. I'm done. It's worse than the period where boring heel HHH (2003ish) was ruling the top and comparable to the drizzling shits that was 1995 and into 1996.

Just to reel off the retarded aspects...

-Michael Cole-centric episode, featuring segment after segment where he's used to get nothing over besides a meaningless waste of a match with Lawler
-90 second, rushed matches up and down the card
-Over the top (and not in a good way) soap opera storyline consuming what's suppose to be the top prize
-Jack Swagger, enhancement talent
-John Cena in his usual annoying, corny, BUY THE PPV AND SEE IF I CAN OVERCOME THE ODDS voice
-Sin Cara beats Slater to get a MITB spot...seconds later, Slater is jobbed to Backlund. Does Slater really have to be put in what should be a semi-serious spot moments before a full on comedy role?
-Did I miss the memo on Kane's 1000000th face turn?
-How does Big Show keep sneaking up on people backstage?
-The anonymous GM just reeks of we don't know what to do until 1000th episode so lets get this retread back and pawn it off on someone for a cheap pop in a couple weeks
-When Cole does his corny, old, tired shtick in front of the notebook....can he at least make a fucking effort to appear as though he's not reading off a sheet of paper that's nowhere near the monitor? If Jerry "I don't give a shit, where's my check" Lawler can do it, Cole should be a pro.
-Anything where they think the audience is full of mouthbreathers so they treat Hornswoggle like he's a 5-year old kid. Do the little kids who watch their programming (and whatever WWE may say, the majority of their viewing audience are NOT children) really think the guy is a child? Maybe it's just carny wrestling that Vince actually gets off on and I don't remember them doing it to Dink or Little Beaver. It's just stupid.



Btw, the only way this whole AJ deal can make sense is if she ends up turning on both Punk and Bryan and aligns with someone else. At least, I hope it's that so we don't have to deal with another month or more of the same repetitive shit week after week.

Impact and RAW have totally done a 180 over the past month

[Warner2BruceTD]

Kharma has been cut.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Awful..

[EmpireWF]

Looks like she hasnt been cut after all.

[Bigpapa42]

The best part of the WWE going full-retard of late is reading the justifications and explanations by a pure WWEphile on another site I visit. The best he could manage this week was "I didn't dislike the show". Every other post of the 400 or of the Live Discussion thread is trashing it.. then that.

[SuperKevin]

how is Impact tonight? I missed it

[IamMedellin]

Amidst rumors that WWE released Kharma after their official Twitter feed moved her profile to its list of Alumni on Thursday, TMZ.com reporter Ryan Satin says she has been let go by the sports entertainment organization.

He wrote on Twitter Thursday evening, "A source close to Kharma tells me the rumors are true and she was indeed released from WWE today. Dumbest WWE release in SOOO LONG!!!"

Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer addressed Satin's claim on the F4WOnline.com message forum and stated that WWE had planned to finalize her termination on Friday. However, he speculates the organization may switch course due to the news prematurely surfacing online—similarly to how they briefly reinstated Florida Championship Wrestling tapings in March to save face after news leaked prematurely that they were ending and because they weren't ready to announce the changes to NXT.

"I don't want to say anything, because it's WWE and they change their minds if stuff gets out," he wrote. "But she was to be released tomorrow, and they're pissed somebody screwed up and it got out a day early."

Kharma is currently listed as a member of the active roster on WWE.com, but as a former Superstar on the organization's Twitter account.
