If the reports are true, Sabu was late for the ECW taping today and didn't bring his ring gear.

I dig the man, but its like Rob Van Dam's "Speed & Weed" incident last summer (as BOTH WWE and ECW Champion; Oh and Sabu was in the car too)...I actually agree with WWE's punishment*

*=Though surely, if Randy Orton had pulled that stunt, WWE would have excused it and still put his ass on PPV.

Chris Jericho Returns(?)

"Chris Jericho to return by the fall, in time for the three hour season premiere of RAW in October. With the recent string of injuries, Randy Orton's uncertainties, Rob Van Dam's future up in the air, and other factors, WWE feels they are in need of some serious star power and now want to make a major push to have Chris Jericho available for a WWE return in time for SummerSlam."

Triple H Approves Of HBK Beating Edge On Raw
Date Added: May 20, 2007
Story By: Daniel Pena
sources: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Raw head writer Brian Gewirtz was credited, or blamed, depending on your point of view, for booking Shawn Michaels to pin World Heavyweight champion Edge on his last night on Raw. Gewirtz's explanation was that guy leaving the territory, or brand in this case, has to job on the way out.

Triple H was the power behind the move because when it was questioned, he supported it, which made it close to a done deal. There is a belief backstage that Triple H doesn't want Edge to succeed, noting that he tried to block all previous plans of him to moving to SmackDown and winning the title until Mr. Kennedy went down with an injury, and at this point he couldn't reasonably block it anymore. There was vocal opposition to Edge being pinned, saying that it makes the SmackDown title and champion look secondary. Triple H's argument was that HBK is the biggest tenured star on the brand, and he had just put over Khali, and he needs a big win because he'll be wrestling Cena on PPV again within the next few shows. On the other hand, Michaels suggested doing a non-finish, since from his perspective, the key point of the match was for him to be beat down by Randy Orton to promote their match for tonight at Judgment Day. Michaels said he didn't want to bury the SmackDown title but was told it was Vince McMahon's decision and he wasn't changing it.

As you might imagine, Edge wasn't pleased with the booking decision and he wasn't hiding his dissatisfaction backstage that night. Edge is said to be happy to move over to Smackdown because internally it's considered less political, not to mention that he doesn't have to deal with a certain wrestler as much anymore.

-------------------------------

Wow, Triple H is such a damn jerk.

Hopefully Edge flourishes over at SMACKDOWN!

HHH went through ALL that trouble to try and sabotage Edge's chances at becoming Champ...while trying to secure HBK another Title run...and what happens...

Nevermind that HBK now stands for He is the Bald Kid.

Seriously, Edge has the potential and personality to actually become the star of SMACKDOWN(and help elevate Mr. Kennedy to stardom when he returns).

I seen on ECW tonight that they are going to have Saturday Night's Main Event on June 2nd 11:30 pm.

I'm actually going to be able to watch Raw tonight since I don't have to work any longer at Blockbuster. Plus with me going to New York tomorrow, I'll probably also spend my time watching ECW, TNA and Smackdown!

Anyone see the PPV last night? I saw the results and I'm not surprised. Hopefully I can catch some PPVs this year like I did in December while up in New York.

What is this draft about? Next Monday Raw will be 3 hour show starting at 8pm.

I can't even begin to tell you how bored I was with Raw last night. I didn't even watch the final 30 minutes of the show

I didn't get to see Smackdown tonight. What happened?

Benoit wrestled Edge to a pretty good match in a non-title bout. Then MVP's weekly status-improvement continued with a insignificant match against Botchtista, err I mean BATISTA.

Oh and poor Matt Hardy lost a good work match against Deuce & Domino.

BTW, Jimmy Wang Yang? WTF?

Wow, I can't believe I'm writing this but this week's Smackdown! was more enjoyable than Raw I haven't seen Smackdown! since January and I must say, JBL isn't as annoying on the mic as he used to be

Actually, JBL has been fun as the guy trying to be seriously analytical as possible for wrestling.

From criticizing the Hardys as guys who rather be on the highlights reel than be champions(which for kayfabe, is a good point) to telling Michael Cole last night to stop with the Eddie G. "homages" in any move that Benoit executed...he rocks.

SMACKDOWN! is the only WWE program with a decent wrestling show. I mean, it has a top card, it has a mid-card, it has a tag team division.........

One would think the Benoit move to RAW will help it, but again....WWE screws up most things these days anyway.

IMO, they've been screwing up for a LONG time. I can't believe Benoit has only had 1 title run whereas Cena's had the title for like the past 6 months

No shit.
No FUCKING Shit.

Look, I understand why RVD last summer got shitblasted. He was both the WWE and ECW champion, and what happens?

He gets pulled over for "Speedin & Weedin," and embarrases the company, the roster, and himself.

I understand that.

But for Benoit, I don't get why he's buried. Sure his mic skills are weak.

BUT SO ARE BOBBY LASHLEY'S, and he's being pushed so far up our asses, he can taste what we had for breakfast!

If anything, Edge and Benoit could have had a good program on SMACKDOWN!, with Edge being the cocky asshole jackass, and Benoit the quiet ring-master, and both the flip-side of the Canadian heritage of Wrestling: Bad and Good, so forth.

Right?

So what do you think about the ending on Raw tonight?

Okay, I gotta ask.. what the hell was up with that Raw ending?

And that draft was annoying as fuck.

They need to combine the brands...it's really ridiculous.

-Well the Great Khali changes his zip code again. Can they EVER find a place for this guy (probably not)

-YES King Booker is back and coming to Raw. He should have some good matches with Cena, although unfortunately they'll never give him the title

-Wow, Beniot goes to ECW. Now that Lashley is stripped of his title, hopefully Beniot will get it and have some great battles against Elijah Burke

-Torrie Wilson goes to Smackdown! Say it ain't so

-Biggest shock of the night was Lashley going to Raw

-Ric Flair goes to Smackdown! Yes he'll make the show more entertaining, but he belongs on Raw

-And Mr. Kennedy goes to Raw too Raw made out the best with the additions of King Booker, Lashley and Mr. Kennedy. I'm just afraid now that they'll push Kennedy against Cena and Booker will be wasted as a mid-carder

-Definitely the best match of the night was Lashley vs. Benoit

I quite enjoyed it. It made each match more interesting to see which brand was going to get the next pick and also who was gonna go where. The messages for Vince were also somewhat nice. Stone Cold's was probably the funniest but Bret Hart's was the best. I couldn't believe he actually did it

What in the blue fuck was up with the conclusion of RAW last night? Seriously, name a single part of it that made ANY kind of sense.

SMACKDOWN! really got fucked. There goes the Kennedy/Edge program I guess. Boo.

But you really surprised Irish on Lashley? Hes been on RAW more than ECW TV.

Is a blue one different from a red one??

You know, its no more illogical than the Rock tossing Austin off the bridge, Austin blowing up the DX bus with explosives(he's the #1 suspect!).

Its still stupid, but maybe it leads into a decent STORY for once. Yet I have a feeling that WWE will botch it, like the Austin-Lincoln car hit and run.

Oh and IRISH.........Elijah Burke? He sucks. CM PUNK rules.

Snitsky goes to Raw to. I don't understand this storyline about Vince. Why are they having him like he is losing his mind? And now getting blown up?

No idea about the crazy Vince thing. Maybe this car bomb story is to abort the crazy Vince schtick that people didn't care for.

But as for the car bomb, I assume now the whole summer will be this one question...

Who nuked Vincent Kennedy McMahon?

Everyone that trashed VKM last night is a suspect(nevermind that Bret Hart's promo was in Hawaii, but whatever) and then we find out the culprit is some guy the WWE wants to push as major league.

EDIT - On another note, I must say the car bomb surprised me. I was expecting Triple H to wreck VKM with ole "Sledgie" out of no where, or something that cliche.

Instead, this is a cliche of the Attitude Era.

As for Snitsky, he sucks.

Seriously, SMACKDOWN! got screwed. Its true that WWE thinks RAW is the A-show after all...
