DIY gifts for my co-workers
Guest post written by Michael Johnson
Every year for the holidays we have this big office party and even though we have secret Santa most everyone fixes holiday treats to eat and pass around to everyone. So I thought that I would join in on it this year and try to make some gifts for my co-workers.
I got online with my ClearWire Internet to try and come up with some easy DIY gifts that I could make that my co-workers would for sure enjoy.
I came up with some, but thought that it would be best to stick with food. I asked around to make sure which people are diabetic and decided to come up an alternative diy gift for them. I found a diabetic cookie recipe and took the dry mix and put it in a big jar for each of them, with directions for what add to bake them. For the non-diabetic people IÕm putting together a chocolate chip cookie recipe with the same deal going on. Then IÕm going to put a tag with their names on each one. I think theyÕll be really impressed that I came up with all this stuff on my own.

The End Of The WWE Spinner Belt?
WWE officials have discussed ceasing the "Spinner" belt as a result of The Miz becoming champion. A newly designed belt has been ready since late last year. Bob's Opinion: Well at least maybe one good thing came out of the Miz having the WWE title....and that's the only thing

WrestleMania 27 Ticket Sales
In an update on WrestleMania 27 ticket sales, all of the $25 tickets (the cheapest available) sold out in the middle of last week. Tickets remain available in all other categories. As reported earlier, the first 11 rows of the ringside area are now sold out.According to a source, one of the main reasons WWE is pushing Wrestlemania so hard on RAW and SmackDown! right now with the event being so many months away is because the feeling is that they don't have anything worked out resembling Wrestlemania caliber special attraction matches with how things stand right now.
Bob's Opinion: Wrestlemania isn't what it used to be, actually it's just another PPV. But it is a good excuse for wrestling fans to get together to eat, drink, talk wrestling and hope for a good show.
Have You Ever Wondered?
My sisters are nurses and I’ve always wondered where they got their uniforms and scrubs. But, where to buy medical scrubs or buy medical scrubs online has never really found a place into out conversations.
So I thought I would check the Internet myself and find out where they get these extremely comfortable garments. I would love to have a set just to lay around the house in and I know from what I found on the Internet that my sisters can definitely get theirs cheaper on the site that I found.
Have you ever wondered about something like this? Isn’t it great how you can get things like medical nursing scrubs online

Finally a Good Start to the Ranger's Season
Thanks for the post, Jennifer Mcconnell
The New York Rangers are finally showing again to me why I have been faithfully following them for the past two decades. Even though the season is early, it seems that they have broken their tradition of not showing up to the games until the second half of the season. While they are not much above .500, it is a positive sign to me!
Brandon Dubinsky seems to have finally dialed in his scoring ability this year as he leads the team with fifteen goals this year. It seems that this year will be the first time that he is not sent back down to the minors. Unfortunately, Lundqvist in goal seems to be leaving much to be desired. Perhaps Tortorella can make the proper defensive adjustment as he always seems to later in the season. The team is young, so there is a chance that they will become stronger as they play more games together.
I am extremely optimistic though! After their last two wins, I cannot wait until tonight to watch the Rangers verses Penguins game on my DirecTV HD sports! Another event that has me excited is the big Rangers verses Bruins game on Wednesday. Only time will tell if my early season optimism is valid, as the Rangers always cease to amaze me with their ability to blow half of the season

Kevin Nash-TNA Contract Update
Kevin Nash continues to deny reports that he has re-signed with TNA Wrestling. There is talk, however, that a deal is in place.One company official not aware of whether Nash had re-signed, assumed it was only a matter of time if he had not.
"They are talking," said the official. "He's got somebody's ear. And by somebody, I mean Dixie Carter."
Bob's Opinion: I would love to see him back. not many in the business can match his mic skills
Fired WWE Stars To TNA?
According to a backstage source, Kurt Angle has been pushing TNA Wrestling officials to sign his former cohorts in World Wrestling Entertainment, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, but it appears unlikely at this point that his wish will come to fruition.Many within the organization feel that it will be difficult for those released by WWE to be hired unless they are a "star," such as Mickie James or Matt Hardy.
No word yet on if TNA has had discussions with those released last week by WWE, but it's unlikely that any of them will be brought in any time soon, let alone when their non-compete clauses expire.
Bob's Opinion: I believe that the WWE missed the boat with Shelton Benjamin and now TNA should be grabbing him quick. It's a mistake to let him slip through
My very own menorah
Guest post written by Katherine Meeks
This is the first year that I'm not going home to spend Hanukkah with my parents. It's a little weird though, but I have a business trip right before it and I think that I'm just going to celebrate with my friends where I'm living now. But that also means that I need to go ahead and buy my own menorah, which really makes me feel like an adult and is kind of bittersweet in itself.
I went on the internet to try and order a menorah that would really reflect my modern decor in my apartment. That's when I saw some Clear Wireless Internet deals and decided to change over my internet service at my apartment to it.
It was kind of hard for me to pick out just one menorah because I found so many more cool ones than I thought that I would! I decided not to skimp on it either because this is obviously an investment piece that IÕm going to have for a very long time.

The Latest Health Update On Bobby Heenan
As noted earlier here on the website, Bobby Heenan is reportedly in very poor health at a Tampa, Florida hospital.Lanny Poffo, brother of Randy Savage, said on the Who's Slamming Who podcast this week that he heard from a friend that the WWE Hall of Famer "might be on his last legs."
The wrestler formerly known as The Genius said Heenan has been "in and out of a coma" in a Tampa area hospital and is "not aware of anything."
Heenan has been in poor health in recent years due to surgery on his throat and reconstructive jaw surgery.
It should be noted however, Great Lakes Championship Wrestling promoter David Herro wrote on Twitter that he heard from the wife of the WWE Hall of Famer, who said that Bobby is not hospitalized.
Herro wrote, "Just spoke with Cindy Heenan the lovely wife of "The Brain", Bobby is NOT in a coma &is not in the hospital. He's home resting his hip."
Also, MVP recently tweeted: "Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan is in bad shape. Yrs ago he encouraged & complimented me! Keep him in your thoughts & send positive vibes his way!"
Bob's Opinion: God bless the "Brain"! I'm not sure which report is right but I am sending a prayer up that Bobby Heenan will be around for alot more years!
Hustler Must Pay Nancy Benoit's Family Over Nude Photos
Hustler Magazine must pay financial damages to the family of the late Nancy Benoit ("Woman") because of some nude photos that the magazine published in spring of 2008. A trial will be held to see exactly how much Larry Flynt Publishing owes the Benoit family.The United States Court of Appeals in Georgia overruled a previous judgment in the lawsuit brought against Hustler for publishing nude photos of a young Nancy Benoit in the middle of the Benoit family tragedy. The photos were taken in 1983, and were from a nude photo and video session Nancy Benoit did while contemplating adult modeling. She did not pursue that career path and requested that the photos be destroyed. She thought that was the case even when she died, but then the photos emerged in the magazine during the tragedy.
The Toffolonis, Nancy Benoit's parents, filed a lawsuit right away, but they lost because the judge said the photos were "newsworthy." They appealed, and won a judgment when the appeals court stated that the photos were published without permission and without compensation. They said that Hustler violated Nancy Benoit's privacy.
The court had this to say during a June 2009 ruling: "The photographs by themselves serve no legitimate purpose of disseminating news … and needlessly expose aspects of the plaintiff's private life to the public. Indeed, people are nude every day and the news media does not typically find the occurrence worth reporting."
Hustler proceed to go to the Supreme Court, making the case that the 1st Amendment "requires a broad interpretation of the newsworthiness standard". Hustler also tried to cite previous similar cases, but the Supreme Court did not take their side.
U.S. District Judge Thomas W. Thrash Jr. wrote: "No reasonable juror could conclude that [Larry Flynt Publishing] did not publish the photographs and the article for financial gain. The evidence shows that LFP made significant profits off the March 2008 issue and that the reaction to the Benoit photographs was 'huge and overwhelmingly positive.' "
Bob's Opinion: the people running this magazine are so sick and perverted that anything I would say would only be an understatement to the fact. May Nancy rest in peace now.
Jake Roberts/WWE
WWE.com have added Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and The Goobledy Gooker to their Alumni section. From the recently released, only Tiffany and Jillian Hall have been added to the Alumni section.

Trippin'
Well friends, after traveling to my wife’s home country of the Philippines, in order to visit her parents, our luggage really took a beating. With the way that we love to travel it is of the utmost importance that we find newer and better luggage for the next trip.
So we have been checking on the Internet and in stores for the luggage that we believe can stand the beating that frequent travel can give to luggage.
Luggage like, Hartmann Luggage, Tumi Luggage, Rimowa Luggage because we know these brands can give us the strength that we need and at a price we can afford. So plans have been made and luggage has been purchased, off we go again!

The Rock Says He Still Wrestles
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson did an interview last night on Craig Ferguson's show last night to promote Faster. When asked if he still wrestles, Johnson said he does wrestle sometimes as gym exercise. He also said he loves country music and got his first guitar from Willie Nelson, and that he got his first car when he was fifteen and living in Nashville.
Johnson was also on CBS Today, where he was asked if he always wanted to be an actor and he said knew he wanted to be an entertainer. He said he came from a long line of professional wrestlers, talked about his football career and how he is happy where he is now.
Bob's Opinion: All of this is good, but don't forget who brought you to the dance Dwayne

John Cena 'Buys Tickets' To Next Week's RAW
John Cena wrote on Twitter that he "bought tickets" for this Monday's RAW in Philadelphia. That is obviously the next twist in the Cena "fired" storyline.
Here is the full tweet from Cena: "CeNation. Last night was tough. I am glad it's over. On way to see niece. And moms bday tomorrow. Sorry i ran back in ring but i told...Mr. Barrett that if he keeps taking short cuts it will come back to haunt him," he said. "Just got tix for Raw in Philly I can only hope he makes more short cuts."
Bob's Opinion: Yes friends, it was only an angle, John Cena is still employed by the WWE

Nash Blasts Miz's Title Win
Kevin Nash, a former WWE Champion, remarked the following on Twitter regarding The Miz winning the WWE Championship on RAW: "WWE told the world that there sh*t is a work with the Miz as champ," he wrote on Twitter.
Bob's Opinion: I couldn't agree more. Let me give you my opinion on the WWE title:
When they changed to the spinner belt = gave the title less credibility
when changing the title like once a month = gave the title less credibility
when putting the belt on the Miz = took away all of the title's credibility
It's like a spit in the face of the great champions such as Bob Backlund, Bruno Sammartino, Ivan Koloff, Ric Flair, and even Hulk Hogan.

Helping a Friend
A good friend of mine, from Baltimore will be getting married in a couple of months and he asked if I would help him with a few preparations for the wedding. I of course said, sure and then asked him what part of this awesome event could I help him with?

Me and the Music
Guest post written by Geoff Saunders
IÕve been a record and cd collector for years and years and I am not showing any signs of slowing down. It absolutely amazes me, no matter how many records I accumulate; there is always another one that I have my sights on. ItÕs definitely an addiction, but itÕs one that has kept me pretty happy over the years.
Recently, while going through my collection and listening to my albums, I have realized that I really donÕt hear as well as I used to. Anything that get in between my music and I is a real cause for concern. I took immediate action and went to several Hearing Aids Testing Centers in my area. I invested in a new pair of hearing aids, and they have really helped me to get back enjoying my music. I didnÕt spend all of these years collecting albums so I couldnÕt enjoy them.
These days, I am still listening to classic rock, and IÕve loved every minute of it. It keeps me young, and I suppose I will always have songs like these playing on the stereo.

After I got engaged and lined up a new job in a new city, I was pretty sad about going away and leaving all of my friends at the job I've had since I graduated from college. I made so many friends and it really is a great company, so love is basiclally the only way that I was going to leave that job, at this point any way.
My coworkers threw me this amazing going away party right before I left, even though I've invited all of them to the wedding so that necessarily wasn't goodbye. And nwo I'm still sending them thank you emails with my wireless internet to thank them for all the great gifts that they got me and all the times that I spent with them.
I was especially excited though, when one of my cubicle neighbors bought me a Nora Roberts book becuase she remembered that I loved her work. I know IÕll make new friends at the job that I just started here, but IÕm going to stay in touch with my older coworkers.

Classic cornbread dressing
Guest post written by Justina Lopez
I'm kind of a creature of habit, but that's something that I've really been trying to change to help liven up my life. I've found out that life can get a little dull if you keep doing the same things over and over like going to the same restaurant to eat and things like that. But I think that Thanksgiving is one of the times where it's especially nice to stick to what you know.
I've never really cooked a Thanksgiving meal before, although I've kicked most of the traditional dishes at different times. So as I was looking up the recipes for teh dinner when I started looking at this site www.clearwirelessinternet.com and after reading through all of it, signed up for the service.
One of the absolutes when it comes to Thanksgiving in my opinion is cornbread dressing and I found a really good recipe that sounds like it will be like hte kind that my Grandma used to make. I canÕt wait to spend some good time stuffing my face with turkey and dressing!

Hulk & Linda 'Hogan' Headed Back To Court
The Florin/Roebig Law Firm in Florida has announced that Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea filed an amended lawsuit in Pinellas County Florida Circuit Court today against Wells Fargo Insurance Services Southeast and Wells Fargo Insurance Services, USA. Also included was his ex-wife Linda. This goes back to the August 27, 2007 accident where Hogan's son Nick was driving Hogan's car, crashed and seriously injured his friend John Graziano. As you may remember, the Graziano family filed suit, and it was then that it was discovered that Hogan was only insured for $250,000 in personal liability. There was no insurance to protect his then $30 million fortune.
During the couple's divorce proceedings, Linda said she was Hulk Hogan's Business Manager and thus asserts that the threesome owed Hogan a "fiduciary duty under Florida law to act in his best interest in regard to adequately protecting his assets in the event of a potential third party liability claim against him for automobile accidents involving vehicles own by Hogan" Basically, it claims that all parties had the responsibility to inform Hogan that he needed to have more insurance. Back in March of this year, Hogan settled with the Grazianos for more than the $250,000 that he was insured. He now claims that the excess amount he was forced to pay was due to the three parties not doing their duties. He is suing for a full recovery of funds.
Bob's Opinion: Now this would make for some great reality tv (unlike the scripted "Hogan Knows Best")

Sean Waltman Rips WWE PG & Marijuana Policy
Sean Waltman went on a rant about WWE and their PG rating + Wellness Policy on Twitter recently. Check out some of his comments below:
"The election is over. Down with the PG s--t & drop the marijuana policy. The IOC doesnt even ban it, except during competition. f--k it, While your at it, lay off the steroid policy too. People want to see guys with great bodies & the boys want to take it.even Vince doesnt want to stop the boys from smoking weed. Its a bs policy.Now the ban on somas & the whole wellness policy in general is great. That would give WWE an idea if anyone's health is affected.Real Sports w Bryant Gumble did what started out to be a hit piece on steroids & came to the conclusion that they are mostly benign.Do some research & know wtf ur talking about before calling me a moron. I know wtf Im talking about & I have scientific back up motherf--ker Even if they were bad for you. who r we to dictate what others can put in their own body. Its un American. Plus population is going to be a problem in the future, so if someone wants to shorten their lives by smoking cigarettes, alcohol, or whatever, Let them. dont hurt others..."
Bob's Opinion: what can I say, other then, grow up Sean! No wonder you can't keep a wrestling gig, why don't you clean yourself up and look at life through a pair of clear eyes!

Alan Jackson, Live in Concert!
Guest post written by Jeremy Azodi
Now that itÕs November, my wife and I can really start looking forward to seeing one of our favorite artists in concert: Mr. Alan Jackson. He is going to come to the LJVM Coliseum in Winston-Salem, and weÕve been looking forward to this concert for months. We decided to spend a little extra so instead of being way in back like we typically are when we purchase general admission tickets, we are going to be significantly closer to the stage. This time when we go to the show, weÕll definitely have our Hearing Aids By Miracle Ear in.
Alan Jackson is a superstar, and weÕve been enjoying his music for years. In my opinion he has only gotten better with age. A lot of big things donÕt happen to this little city too often, so when something like this comes along; it definitely gives us something to look forward to. Concerts have been our diversion of choice for many years, itÕs something weÕve always loved to do together, and seeing Alan Jackson is really going to be something memorable for us.

Bischoff & Hogan Hang Out
Eric Bischoff sent out a tweet over the weekend noting that he hung out with Hulk Hogan and his fiancee Jennifer McDaniel over the weekend. Bischoff wrote, "[Hulk's] strength and commitment to his faith and his positive view of life is inspiring."
Bob's Opinion: I hope the commitment to his faith remains true

Triple H Takes Shot At Hulk Hogan
As noted in the last post, SB Nation Atlanta has an interview up with Shawn Michaels and Triple H about WrestleMania 27 in which Triple H knocked Hulk Hogan for using the WWE Hall of Fame in a TNA angle and both said that Goldberg getting into the Hall of Fame this year was unlikely.
Bob's Opinion: Bravo, TNA should leave WWE well enough alone and visa versa

Much Needed Help
I have been looking for a few things online lately that I either can't find in a local store or for a price that I am willing to pay. I really want these things and I would like an easier way of finding them on the Internet without having to go to several search engines and such.
Well as I was looking I found a place where they have buying guides to help shoppers (like me) who are in need of help picking the right product.
ShopWiki helps me make what would normally be a hard decision (as I am a man and I don't like to shop) and the hard decision was happening soon as Christmas is coming soon and my wife deserves the best.
If you are like me and are not the best shopper there is and you need some help then check out ShopWiki. For those of my friends that are not in the states, ShopWiki is also available in Spain, Germany and so many other countries! Check them out friends!

HHH & HBK Rip Goldberg
SBNation has a lengthy interview with Shawn Michaels and Triple H promoting WrestleMania
. In the interview, the topic of Bill Goldberg being inducted into the Hall of Fame is brought up.
"Bill's trying to get into the Hall of Fame," said Triple H. "If there's a rumor about him coming back, he probably started it. I've not seen any mention of his name... We have a unique business, and we try to do a legitimate Hall of Fame. We try to honor the guys that deserve it. To the guys that go in, it's something special. I heard Hogan s--t on it, but I don't think anything's special to him except for money. Like, if you called Michael Jordan to put him into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and he said, 'All right, but I'm only gonna show up if I get to play for the Bulls next year.' We get that all the time. We call a guy to honor him in the Hall of Fame, and he goes, 'I want to do an angle. I want a one-off. I need a hundred grand.' So when you say, 'What about Goldberg?', no offense to Bill, but you've got guys like Bruno San Martino that were legends with longevity that should be in there, but they're holding out because they think they've got one more run. Just using Bill as an example, how many years did he wrestle? Not many."
Shawn Michaels chimed in with his opinion as well, saying, "To me, he's not even in the ball park. Not because he's not talented, but greatness doesn't happen in a few years. Greatness is established over a long period of time. We try to promote people and get them over, but you can't do it that quickly. In our line of work, there are other qualities that make somebody viable besides just whether they're tough or not. In every other line of work -- like if you're a lineman who can't play, everybody knows you can't play."
Bob's Opinion: as far as the WWE HOF being legit? It's jut another way from Vince to make a dollar.

Paying The Bills
My wife has recently graduated from nail tech school and while she was in the expenses just seemed to grow and grow. We decided after awhile that we were going to have to get a credit card, but we wanted to be sure about what card to get and how we could be safe using it.
So our first step was to compare credit cards and decide which was right for what we needed it for. We of course found ourselves wanting the zero percent interest credit card but were a bit skeptical of that, so we did our research.
We finally came to a decision after we read up on the student american express card for a varietyof reasons, but I am curious if any of my friends out there have researched the same things and the results that they have came up with.

TNA's New World Title Belt
TNA introduced a new World Championship belt at Monday's iMPACT! tapings from Orlando. During an in-ring segment, Hulk Hogan threw the old belt in the trash and presented Jeff Hardy with the a one. The segment will TONIGHT on SpikeTV at 9EST. Unlike the previous traditional black and gold belt, the new belt has a red strap and some very uniquely-shaped metal plates. So far, most of the feedback online has been negative, with many fans calling it ugly
Bob's Opinion: Ugly and another bad move by Hogan
Teddy in the Hall of Fame?
There has been much talk amongst WWE officials in recent weeks to induct Theodore Long into next year's Hall of Fame class since it's taking place in his home city of Atlanta, Georgia. Matt Striker is often mentioning the SmackDown! General Manager over commentary in conjunction with it. As of this writing, nothing is confirmed.
Bob's Opinion: believe it or not Teddy is a darn good choice, he has had one heck of a career. From referee to managing DOOM (Ron simmons and Butch Reed, one bad-ass tagteam), to his multi tasked career in the WWE

Olivia and Elliot
Guest post written by Rolf Tate
The relationship between Olivia and Elliot is what really makes Law and Order Special Victims Unit. They have a real chemistry that cannot be faked and it really shines through. The anticipation of if they will ever get together is what keeps me coming back week after week. This Law and Oder spin off as excellent story lines and depictions of crimes and other casts too. This show can at times be very real with its depiction of sex crimes and the victims but Olivia and Elliot always bring a touch of humanity to keep it from getting too R rated. When I watch law and Order Special Victims Unit I get so wrapped up in the story lines. They do such a good job of making you sympathize with the victim that sometimes I forget that it is a tv show and not real life! I also love all the plot twists and emotion this show has. The characters are so emotionally charged and it comes across so naturally. I hope one day they finally let Detective Benson and Detective stabler get together. Even if they do not I will continue watching Law and Order Special Victims Unit on my directv. This allows me to never miss an episode and I love how clear the image turns out. I wouldn't want to watch it any other way.

Mickie James Speaks Out
Mickie James recently discussed her move to TNA and more at MickieJames.com. Here are some highlights…
On Her First Album: It's been pleasantly surprising. I think people were expecting a lot less, so it's cool when you exceed expectations. I'm very grateful for all the positive feedback from my peers, my fans, Country Weekly magazine, websites and recording stations that put out album reviews. Coming out of the gate and getting positive feedback for my first album was incredible. And for the Country Music Association to feature me in their debut spotlight section in their print publication was an absolute honor. To have their recognition, it gives a recording artist a sense of validation in a cutthroat competitive industry.
On Signing With TNA: I think a lot of people know (TNA President) Dixie Carter attended my CD release party in Nashville in May, so we were talking. I was entertaining the move for a while. I think what made it click was working an independent gig where friends of mine were there. It made me remember why I got in wrestling in the first place. It was my genuine love for wrestling. I think sometimes it becomes a business and you forget the important details. Now I feel like I have a renewed spirit. I remember why I got into the business and it's that love. I know that Dixie is behind me 100% with the music too. We're going to try to work both of the schedules together. One hand feeds the other. She gets that. She wants me to be successful and to pursue music or acting if I so choose. She knows I'm representing TNA with everything that I do. That's not a liberty that you often have in any business. I think that's a really cool thing. It gives everybody power over their own destiny. It allows you to go after your dreams and do what you want to do. You're still an individual.
On Her PPV Match With Tara: It was pretty incredible. It was my first PPV singles match in TNA, so it was my debut in terms of that. I think there's no doubt that the history between Tara and I is great. She's definitely one of the best in the business. We brought the fight to eachother. I think we raised the bar for our locker room and any locker room around the world. It was a lot of fun. I know both of us are hurting for certain today (Monday), but it was really cool to raise the bar for ourselves and the business. We've heard a lot of comments about how not only was it possibly the match of the night, but ladies match of the year. To have a women's match get such high praise is an honor. Women's wrestling is not fluff. We can go just as hard as the guys. That's why we are in this business. We are wrestlers. We're not just eye candy who are out there to look good. You heard the crowd chanting "Let Them Fight!" and it was an awesome feeling. I'm excited to see what's next. I think this is just the beginning of an all out war.
Bob's Opinion: Kudos to Dixie Carter for being a bit smarter then Vince MacMahon and grabbing up Mickie James!

My Favorite Exhausting Day
Authored by Rickey Combs
The amount of candy that the kids end up collecting every year on Halloween is outrageous. We usually have enough candy to last us through Christmas. The kids favorite part of halloween is the hay wagon rides that we go on at our local Pumpkin Festival. Instead of trick or treating the kids would rather ride the wagon but they know they have to take turns with the other kids. While the kids are not riding the hay wagon they go inside our community building and play games and win candy. After the Pumpkin Festival ends I take them by their grandparents house and the kids pile on more candy. We usually try to get a picture of all kids with their candy and sometimes the candy bags stand as tall as my 2 and 3 year old. This year the kids are going to be a cow, a duck, and a rainbow. My favorite part of Halloween is going home at the end of the day and watching my favorite Halloween movie on satalite tv. Nothing beats sitting on the couch with kiddos after a long exhausting yet wonderful day

Michael Cole noted over commentary during Monday's RAW that his broadcast partner, Jerry Lawler, is recovering from a knee injury. According to a source, Lawler's left leg is swollen from the knee down to the foot. The cause of the matter is not known, but those close to him believe he has incurred a staph infection. The WWE Hall of Famer's doctor advised him not to attend RAW since it would have been a ten hour flight to England and the change in air pressure could have possibly cause blood clots.
Lawler's former announcing partner, Jim Ross, said on Twitter that the WWE Hall of Famer has a severe infection, resulting from the injury. It prevented him from flying to the U.K. for the show.
Ross added that Lawler is on IV antibiotics and will be okay
Bob's Opinion: Jerry "The King" Lawler has been a hero of mine since I was a kid watching Memphis wrestling (CWA) I would like to wish him well and a speedy recovery!

Veteran TNA Wrestler Gone
Eric Young has reportedly parted ways with TNA Wrestling after his contract expired late last month and the two sides couldn't come to terms on a new agreement.
Young was reportedly offered a significant pay cut, but declined. There is a chance he may return as both sides are currently negotiating.
Young's departure surprised and saddened a lot of employees at last night's iMPACT! taping in Orlando, Florida as many viewed him as a "company guy."
He had been partnering with Orlando Jordan in recent months in a comedy tag team.
Bob's Opinion: A huge waste of talent, I hope to see him in the WWE if he doesnt come back to TNA

A Traditional Outing
Author: Jeffery Hunt
We live in a world where we take many things for granted and don't always appreciate everything we have. Growing up, my father would take us camping and teach us how to do a variety of things out in the wilderness. He would teach us about the simple things in life and how every bug has a purpose or how every plant also gives meaning to our lives.
Because of the way I was brought up, I am also raising my children to do the same. Not only is camping loaded with fun, but it is also a great bonding and learning experience. My wife hated the outdoors before she met me and now has grown to love and appreciate what's out there. We always make sure to pack up on all the essentials to make it a bit easier; we're not professionals at being able to survive out there, but we try. We always set up our home security alarm I found at www.SecurityChoice.com before we leave to keep our home safe for our return.
We usually go to a camping site about 4 hours from our home and are pretty familiar with that area. Not only do we have the traditional s'mores around a safe campfire, but we also explore and learn about plant life and the animals that live there. It's a tradition made to last.

Scott Hall Hospitalized Again
Scott Hall is hospitalized after undergoing surgery to implant a pacemaker in his heart. Sid Vicious discussed Hall's health during an interview last night with Ring Side Radio:
"His condition is this, I think everybody knows a little about, he just received a little thing in his heart where it monitors his heart beat and if it gets too low it kicks his heart back in because of some of the medication he has been on and because of this heart deal he has been having a few seizures. That is why he has been in the hospital the last couple of days. One thing is he has told me and the people around him, I forgot how many hits he had for his birthday, those things right there. Those are the things that people like me and Scott, of all the things I cherish in this business are things like that…I know all the comments and all the great feedback he got for his birthday and about his condition has been good. I hope people keep that up."
Bob's Opinion: I know Scott has brought a lot of his problems to himself, but from everything I've heard he is doing so much better on that part, it's just a shame he has to deal with this now as . Get Better soon Scott

Why The Big Show Was On RAW
As reported earlier here on the website, Rey Mysterio was scheduled to appear on RAW this week to face the Miz but he is having inner ear issues so The Big Show was brought in instead. Now that RAW and SmackDown! are both under the NBC/Universal umbrella, WWE plans to have more interaction between the two brands.
Bob's Opinion: one of the best talents ever in the WWE, the man needs to stay a face though

Lita Returns To WWE On RAW
Former WWE Diva and Women's Champion Lita made a cameo appearance on this week's RAW. She appeared in a backstage segment with Pee-Wee Herman, Mark Henry, Eve Torres, Melina and The Bella Twins.
It should be noted that as of late, she has talked about being interested in returning to wrestling.
According to one backstage source, Amy 'Lita' Dumas is a huge Pee-Wee Herman fan and was called over the weekend to see if she would be interested in appearing. As of now, it's a one-time deal but that could change.
Bob's Opinion: this is one that the WWE should have never let go!

That Helping Hand
Lately I have been trying to think of new ways to draw attention to the band that I am in. Sometimes I will mention it here on this site and we do have a facebook and myspace site, but we are really looking to do something nice and professional looking. So our first step is to find a web host that will provide the tools that we will need to accomplish this task.
Now the first question would be, where do we find this webhost that will take care of the next step in the process? Well my guess friends, would be the Internet itself! So for the past few days I have been doing my research and I have come across a few answers to my questions so we should be up and running a lot sooner then I would have anticipated.
Now I love the Internet and I can do quite a few things that I never would have believed I could, but when it comes to setting up the band’s page, I can use all the help that I can get, and now I am getting that help! I would suggest to those of my friends out there that are planning on starting their own web page to do the same as we are doing and find your helpful hand as well, it makes it so much easier!
