Colt Cabana recently spoke with the Miami Herald about CM Punk leaving WWE, here are some comments from Cabana…
"From being laughed at by the trainers in Ohio Valley Wrestling to Paul [Heyman] finally bringing him up and everybody treating him like dirt, telling him he has an attitude problem and calling him the ‘King of the Indies,'. Just looking down on him, he just felt shunned his whole time there. It was a complete struggle."
"The power of him not really caring because he was ready to leave — I always said the power of not giving a s--- is so important. He is really at the point where he just wants to get out of there. It's too frustrating for him. If he said anything that made anybody mad, what are they going to do to him? Not re-sign him? He doesn't want to be there.
"So I think that idea is so powerful. He is so strong in his beliefs with the straight edge lifestyle. By being how strong headed that he is, he was able to have the power to go out on television and say what probably every other wrestler has wanted to say. He made unbelievable television. He made unbelievable history in wrestling.
"He almost has the ability to change professional wrestling as we know it. It has been so stagnant and vanilla. It kind of shook up the wrestling world because of his real life frustrations."
Bob's Opinion: Amen

More WWE Talents Frustrated & Leaving?, + Chavo's Future
Chavo Guerrero has been tweeting as of late that he's got some non-wrestling related projects lined up: "Btw..wrestling is not the only thing I've got going. Many offers on the table since I left WWE. I'll let u all know when I have more info."
Chavo Guerrero leaving WWE is a pretty big deal as Dave Batista, Chris Jericho, MVP and Matt Hardy have all asked to be released from their contracts in recent years. It appears as though CM Punk is doing the same. There is said to be a "handful" of talents who have been talking about walking out as well. Numerous WWE talents, especially those in low to mid card roles, are currently frustrated and have been thinking about leaving the company as well. Several WWE talents were praising Chavo for "having the guts" to walk away.

Randy Orton Apologizes To Kelly Kelly
Following his interview with KUPD in Phoenix, where he discussed the dating habits of Kelly Kelly, Randy Orton has apologized for his comments, due to many people on his Twtitter feed being upset…
"Yesterday I put my foot in my mouth and I need to try my best to make it right. I owe Kelly K an apology. The fact that she has dated a few guys I work with doesn't make her a bad person, and is also none of my or anyone else's business. Yesterday I got caught up in a live radio interview and brought Kelly's personal life into it. It was completely uncalled for. Kelly I hope one day you can forgive me. I do however understand if that doesn't happen. Please everyone trash me all you want, but please drop this topic out of respect for Barb."
Bob's Opinion: Guessing someone will be dropping a title to Christian

Several WWE talents are against the idea of working against Sin Cara due to the lighting WWE features during his matches.

Linda Hogan Claims The Ultimate Warrior Is 'Gay'
Linda Hogan appeared on the KQRS morning show earlier today. She was there to promote her new book. During the interview, she addressed The Ultimate Warrior's recent comments about an "open marriage" she had. Here are some of the highlights:
She denies she had an open marriage: "It's shock value. There's no truth to it as far as I'm concerned. As far as my life and what I've done and where I've been, absolutely no truth to it at all", she said.
She claims Warrior is "gay" and doesn't even know who he is: "I don't even know that guy. I've seen him behind the scenes at wrestling events back in the day. He's never been to our house. My kids don't know him. I've never met him other than hi or bye at an event. The truth is I don't know what my husband said to him. I don't know what they did behind the scenes. I wasn't even aware what my husband was doing in our marriage behind the scenes recently. In fact, the rumor is that Warrior is gay."
When asked about comparing herself to Nicole Simpson on The Today Show, she said: "No disrespect, I'm not comparing myself to her, I was comparing the situation. I put that message in my book. That's what I wrote the book for was to put that message out to women that you have a decision. If you're living in a marriage with abuse, and it can come in the form of infidelity, lying, and physical abuse, and as it escalates throughout the years, you tolerate some and it gets a little bit worse, and you tolerate that and it becomes the norm."
Bob's Opinion: So if this book is to educate women, then why not donate the earnings to charity? No? I didn't think so

Randy Orton Speaks Out - Heat With Rock, Y2J, Drug Usage, Cena
Randy Orton did an interesting interview with KUPD in Phoenix that is definitely worth listening to. He covered a number of topics, including:
* He said that he misses Chris Jericho and that he was a locker room leader. He said he will help guys with matches but isn't exactly a counselor.
* Past drug usage. He said he stopped breathing from one incident about five years ago. His wife had to call 911 and that saved his life. He will cover it on his DVD.
* He had heat with The Rock before WrestleMania after he said in an interview that he didn't believe Rock when he said he would never leave WWE again. Orton said that John Laurinaitis pulled him aside and said that Vince McMahon didn't like what Orton said. Orton said that Rock had called the company to complain about Orton burying him and HHH in an interview. Orton thinks Rock mentioned HHH to get some weight behind the heat.
* He noted that he has had six concussions and the one he suffered in Spain a few weeks ago was really bad. Since he has had so many of them WWE management was concerned.
* On the other hand, he loves John Cena and says he is by far the best in WWE on the mic, better than Rock even. He didn't claim that Cena was a great in-ring worker but said he was the best on promos.
* He laughed about WWE having women that were bad actresses playing his wife in skits.

Matt Hardy's Latest Tweet
Matt Hardy tweeted the following: "It's amazing how healthy your body gets when u actually have a chance to rest it, not take bumps everynight, & don't travel on an ungodly schedule.. I'm getting.. BETTER :) "
Bob's Opinion: TNA's schedule is far from "ungodly" with limited live events and TV tapings. This guy is such a juvenile

Transcript of CM Punk’s Raw Promo
Here's a transcription of CM Punk's RAW promo last night…
(Punk sits down at the top of the ramp)
John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this, because before I leave in three weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I wanna get off my chest.
I don't hate you, John. I don't even dislike you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate... this idea... that you're the best... because you're not. I'm the best. I'm the best in the world. There's one thing you're better at than I am, and that's kissing Vince McMahon's ass. You're as good at kissing Vince's ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don't know if you're as good as Dwayne... he's a pretty good ass-kisser... always was and still is. Oops... I'm breaking the fourth wall. [Punk waves to the camera.] I am the best... wrestler... in the world. I've been the best ever since Day One when I walked into this company, and I've been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar... and he split, just like I'm splittin', but the biggest difference between me and Brock is that I'm going to leave with the WWE Championship.
I've grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's imaginary brass rings that it's finally dawned on me that they're just that. They're completely imaginary. The only thing that's real is me, and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I've proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this microphone, in that ring, and even on commentary. Nobody can touch me. And yet, no matter how many times I prove it, I'm not on your lovely little collectors' cups, I'm not on the cover of the program, I'm barely promoted, I don't get to be in movies, I'm not on any crappy show on the USA Network, I'm not on the poster of WrestleMania, I'm not on the signature that's produced at the start of the show. I'm not on Conan O'Brian, I'm not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should be, and trust me, this isn't sour grapes, but the fact that "Dwayne" is in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I'm not makes me sick!
Oh hey, let me get something straight, those of you who are cheering me right now... you are just as big a part of me leaving as anyone else, because you're the ones sipping out of those collector cups right now, you're the ones that buy those programs that my face isn't on the cover of, and then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face thinking you can get an autograph and sell it on eBay because you're too lazy to get a real job.
I'm leaving with the WWE championship on July 17 and hell, who knows, maybe I'll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling... maybe I'll go back to Ring of Honor... [Punk waves to the camera again] hey, Colt Cabana, how you doing? The reason I'm leaving is you people because after I'm gone you're still going to pour money into this company -- I'm just a spoke on the wheel -- the wheel's gonna keep turning. And I understand that... that Vince McMahon's gonna make money despite himself... he's a millionaire who should be a billionaire... you know why he's not a billionaire? It's because he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical [censored] yes-men like John Lauranitis, who's gonna tell him everything he wants to hear... and I'd like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, but the fact is it's gonna get taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family.
Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon. You know we do this whole bully campaign...
(Microphone is cut off. Punk hits the mic a few times, says something inaudible, yells "I've been silenced", and we fade to black.)
Bob's Opinion: No one, and I repeat, no one has ever put out a promo that good and cutting edge. why in the world are they letting him walk?

What Happened With CM Punk After RAW Went Off The Air
After Raw went off the air, Michael Cole announced to the crowd in Las Vegas that WWE has suspended CM Punk indefinitely.
Bob's Opinion: Of course, this is all a work. They would have cut his mic off alot earlier if it had been a legit shoot. They did a great job with it though.

Jeff Hardy Back In Court Today - What Happened?
TNA star Jeff Hardy is back in court today in Moore County, North Carolina. Jeff arrived earlier this morning with his lawyer. The hearing was scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. ET. The judge met with Hardy's attorney and the assistant district attorney for Stanley County in North Carolina. Hardy's attorney (James Van Camp) then waved Hardy out of the room while the judge told him he had one-hour to return to court for his hearing. The belief is that some kind of a deal will be made today to avoid another continuance.
Hardy was arrested back in September of 2009 and has been in and out of court ever since.
Bob's Opinion: UPDATE It appears the hearing will be pushed back to later this week. I believe it'll be this Thursday but can't confirm that just yet.

Chavo Quits WWE
- Long time WWE superstar Chavo Guerrero was released from WWE today. He noted on Twitter that he asked for the release:
let’s get something straight. I asked for my release. I was just tired of not being used correctly. Just cuz u can make other ppl look good, doesn’t mean they should just have u lose to them. The same thing happened to Eddie. After being champ, they still had him working mid card status. Being a Guerrero, we’ve been taught since diapers to get the most out of ppl & matches. It’s our gift, but also our curse. WWE has always used us to make other ppl look good.
“It all comes down to being happy. I was not happy in WWE anymore. I had a smile on my face last night though when I got my release though! now it’s time for me to start being a Guerrero again, and start kicking ass again, be able to tell stories in the ring like u know we can. Win or lose I will never go back to the place WWE put me in. I will never go back to being under utilized and watching ppl who suck get bigger “pushes” than me!
“Thank u to all of u who stuck by me and kept reminding me, I was better than that! stay tuned. Big things coming!! Now I will really be able to entertain u! like me or hate me, 1 thing I have always tried to do is entertain u and give u fans your $ worth. Even if my hands were tied most of the time. I love u all and can’t wait for the future!! So happy. ”
He continued, “Hey, u guys have me trending World wide!! Thanks. I should of quit a long time ago! I know it may sound like it, but I’ve got no hard feelings toward the WWE. I’ve just been unhappy there for a long time & if you have watched the show, u will no why. I made a lot of money, but I’m better than just cashing a paycheck. I wish no hard feelings toward the WWE and want to see them and all my friends there succeed! I love wrestling & want nothing but wrestling to get better & bigger. U fans deserve nothing but a great show and great stories& athleticism for staying so true to wrestling. It’s in my blood & always will be.
Bob's Opinion: who can blame the guy? He has been misused for years

Jim Ross Discusses The New Shawn Michaels-Bret Hart DVD
Jim Ross has posted a new blog, discussing the new Shawn Michaels-Bret Hart DVD that he has been working on, here are the highlights…
"Enjoyed spending parts of two days with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in Stamford, Ct this past week. We actually and accidentally bumped to each other at the hotel on Wednesday night and had a great visit and then had our 'official' gathering Thursday morning until mid afternoon doing the taping for the DVD project.
The HBK/Hitman DVD will be released worldwide this October and I have high expectations for the project. The two legendary, WWE stars sat side by side during the shoot facing yours truly who asked them a battery of questions.
This DVD will not solely focus on the Survivor Series in Montreal in 1997 but we obviously spend a significant amount of time discussing the 'Montreal Screw Job' and the months leading into the infamous event and how both men's careers fared after that infamous day in Montreal.
To be able to sit and talk to two WWE Hall of Famers such as Michaels and Hart who did have a bona fide rivalry at one time but also respected the other's work was a privilege for me. I'm honored to have been assigned this project and hope that it lives up to the expectations we all have for it. I know that both Shawn and Bret were very happy with the day.
For this project to strictly be about Montreal only would be a travesty because neither man's career can be solely defined by the events of the '97 Survivor Series."
Bob's Opinion: Really looking forward to seeing this one

Matt Hardy's TNA Suspension
TNA Wrestling officials suspended Matt Hardy due to continuously arriving late to live events. In an update on this, the suspension was also due in part to the video he posted online of himself urging Jeff Hardy to stun Reby Sky (Matt's girlfriend) with a taser, "among other reasons." Basically, several things had been building up and they suspended him.
Hardy was left off last week's iMPACT! Wrestling tapings in Orlando, Florida due to the aforementioned reasons.
Matt Hardy tweeted the following statement in response to the online reports: "Just checked out the headlines on the 'net.. They make me smile :-) Everything's cool in life-luv it! It's 95 out but I'm not sweating ;)"
Bob's Opinion: I am beginning to wonder, just how stupid are the Hardy Boys?

Benoit/Hustler Update
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a local jury today voted to penalize Hustler magazine by awarding nearly $20 million to the family of Nancy Benoit after they published nude photographs of her in 2008, following her murder at the hands of Chris Benoit in July of 2007.
However the judge overruled, stating that the magazine will only be liable for $375,000 because the jury exceeded Georgia’s punitive cap.
The lawyer for Nancy’s family said he will appeal the ruling stating that Georgia law allows a jury to exceed the $250,000 cap if it’s proven the defendant “acted with intent to harm”.
Bob's Opinion: Sounds like a liberal judge

The Identity Of Obama Impersonator At Capitol Punishment
Comedian Reggie Brown was the man playing President Obama at Capitol Punishment.
Brown was the lead story on CNN on Saturday when he appeared at a Republican convention and went too far with his jokes to the point of having to be pulled offstage.
Bob's Opinion: It's bad enough I have to watch Obama destroy my country, I don't need to be reminded of him when I am watching a wrestling PPV

Sean Waltman Addresses The Warrior-Hogan Fued
Sean Waltman has a new blog up, discussing the recent Hogan vs. Warrior drama. Here are some highlights…
"I think it's hypocritical to mention Hulk's catch phrase of "A day without pot is like a day without sunshine." without mentioning your famous "prayer" sessions at the arenas, which was code for smoking pot.
As far as the "juvi juice" you're referring to, which for everyone that doesn't know, was a supplement you could buy over the counter at supplement stores called Renutrient & other names. It was Furanone Dyhydro (a chemical precursor to GHB) and I promise you Terry Bollea did not introduce it to the wrestling business. Tons of people in wrestling used it at the time. People that never drank or did any other drugs were even using it at the time. Yes it was very powerful. It's no longer available, but at the time was totally legal. So Hulk Hogan didn't control the "juvi juice" supply for the wrestling business. Guys in both companies did it.
All of this kind of high and mighty preaching of morality is why the people s--t on you when you did go to WCW. Maybe it is an example of the decay of society, but people don't want to be preached to. Like I said before, I think the vast majority of people do not care whether Hulk let someone else bang his wife any more than they care whether you were a gay prostitute in the past. Except for the fact that you made some statements, while speaking at a college, that many people viewed as anti-gay. If the accusations were ever found to be true & now your rhetoric is anti-gay, then that might raise a few eyebrows. I hope there's more to your book than just exposing Hulk's dirty laundry."
Bob's Opinion: Sounds like you're preaching Sean! Not sure why you would want to add fuel to the fire other then to get on Hogan's good side which might mean a job in TNA?

Chyna Speaks About the Porn Industry, TNA, Eddie Guerrero, WWE, More
Recently, Joanie "Chyna" Laurer gave an interview on Wrestling News Live's Fall Out show. Check out the highlights of her comments below:
On why she chose to work with Vivid Video: "Vivid is hot you know. I didn't know anything about porn but even then I would see the calendars in the book stores and they had the billboards and the girls were plastered all over the place over Sunset Boulevard in front of the clubs and they (the females on the billboards) looked gorgeous."
On how well she has been treated since joining Vivid Video: "Beyond my expectations, I am totally psyched and I'll tell you why; I haven't felt like this since I was on top of my wrestling days right before my departure as I had just done my book and I did playboy and it was a total high of my life, I loved every day, and I woke up every to do all that (it) was tremendous. I kinda have the carpet pulled out from underneath me and It's been a long while and the problem died and I guessed I might as well be as real as I can get and I've gone through a lot of obstetrical and when this came up, I'd won my name back in 2007 after fighting for it for seven years and I hadn't do anything super big with it since I got my name back you know? I had been doing little movies here and there and a copy of reality shows but this, when this opportunity came up, I was like "Yeah", I didn't have to think twice about it. I was insecure for about two minutes and then I thought " Why on earth would you not do this?". Everything I have done in my career, I have jumped in with both feet and I've taken chances and risks and something things have worked out, something thing's haven't but I have never been afraid of judgment."
On how her TNA debut came about: "It was a surprise to me as it was to you (the internet fans) because basically I got a call from Vince Russo out of the blue and I was expecting it to be an Australian beer company and then it was Vince Russo and kinda basically overnight I was on an airplane….. So I get this call from Vince Russo and I clearly wasn't expecting that you know because basically since the time I left from WWE, I never physically spoke to anybody expect from legally… so when this phone call came I was like, "Woah" but things have been going really well for me over the past year and the last couple of years I have really moved on and I'm really healthy physically and I get this call and I was really happy to hear from Vince (Russo) and he said he was thinking about me and the angle (Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle) and would I be interested and I said "well of course" and I think he was shocked because we were friends and I really enjoyed working with him in WWF and he was like "I didn't know how you were going to respond/react" and I was like "Its not the people within the business I've had problems with, we all know the problems and the reasons why" and I was happy to hear from someone and wondered why it took so long for someone to call me. When I went there, I was really psyched to see everybody and I don't think anybody expected me to go and be that willing to jump back in so it was kinda a quick process for everybody."
On her one appearance stay in TNA: "I really didn't know what was going to happen, I basically went to go to talk to them and I didn't expect to be on TV that night but you know, the Pay Per View was right around the corner so I know that was the angle they wanted to do so I really don't know what was going on behind the scenes. I knew Vince Russo and Bruce Prichard were really in my corner like wanting to make things happen so I don't know, maybe it never surfaced as I never heard back after that but I consider it open basically."
On Eric Bischoff 's recent "Deer in the headlight" comments: "My friend keeps me in [loop] so I've sort being listening to what people have been saying and when I saw his (Eric's) comments I didn't know how to react to it because I never expected it because it was so out of left field as I had just gone to TNA, things went great and as far as I'm concerned I've never had beef with Eric, I've never even worked with him, he was very nice to me when I was there and I don't have a problem with anybody and it was great so I just don't know where it came from, it was strange. Maybe I looked like a deer in the headlights because I didn't have the right lashes on? Or something, I don't know."
On keeping the porn film a secret: "I didn't hear from anyone before anybody knew about the movie because I had been keeping it a secret since I did the movie last November and that's one of the reasons I looked so well and why I feel so well and its not my obligation to go around telling people everything I'm doing and its not a secret either so after the fact I haven't talked to anybody in a while, its almost like he came up with a reason because of the movie, who knows?"
On her "TNA missing the boat" comment: "I didn't mean it in a negative way, I think they are missing the boat because I think we can have a lot of fun and I could do a lot of stuff and it didn't make sense to me to go do one thing then kinda have it lingering out there….. I mean when I did playboy, it was like the biggest issue ever because your combining the two so you have wrestling, boobs beer and popcorn *laughs*."
On working with the late Eddie Guerrero: "Yeah it was really fun, I love the soap opera aspect so for me it was the first time we got to do vignettes and the chemistry was there and it was funny and he really taught me a lot in the ring because when we worked together is was magic. I remember Eddie taught me how to press (slam) people and the first time I pressed him, I got him up and I was trying so hard and he jumped so hard as we were practicing in the middle of the ring and I actually threw him out of the ring and he landed on the floor!. He was awesome."
On WWE's Hall Of Fame: "Well you know what? As far as relationships goes, I'm way over that you know, it was a typical break up in the sense of losing someone you love and the deceit and cheating yes but that happens to all of us. What was the real heart breaker for me was that I really knew in my heart it would blow over in a year or two or when we were able to pass the relationship stage that everybody goes through in a break up but because of the way business was done, I didn't know that it would be a decade later and nobody has spoken to me I mean come on, I'm over the relationship part, it was just bad business on their part if you ask me."
On her future in the porn industry: "I'm hoping that's coming my way, there is definitely talk of more and you know, I just think in a short amount of time you see how your working together and I would love to do more work with Vivid, they have treated me exceptionally, its quite glamorous I have to say, it really has been, it felt great and they treated me beyond fair and I need that, I'm on board for sure so you know, we will keep you posted, I don't know what's gonna happen but its looking good."
On if she would return to WWE or TNA if they offered her a contract: "Absolutely; Based upon the deal. I've come real far at this point in my life and I know what I want and I know what I deserve so you know, if everything was good for this point if my life, yeah of course….. I think I'm pretty reasonable; I have done a lot of things throughout my career and worked hard for my name and know my work ethic so you know I don't know, like loreal, I guess I'm worth it but you know, you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow."
Bob's Opinion: She has real problems if she believes the porn industry wont chew her up and spit her out faster then HHH did.
On why she chose to work with Vivid Video: "Vivid is hot you know. I didn't know anything about porn but even then I would see the calendars in the book stores and they had the billboards and the girls were plastered all over the place over Sunset Boulevard in front of the clubs and they (the females on the billboards) looked gorgeous."

So I get this call from Vince Russo and I clearly wasn't expecting that you know because basically since the time I left from WWE, I never physically spoke to anybody expect from legally… so when this phone call came I was like, "Woah" but things have been going really well for me over the past year and the last couple of years I have really moved on and I'm really healthy physically and I get this call and I was really happy to hear from Vince (Russo) and he said he was thinking about me and the angle (Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle) and would I be interested and I said "well of course" and I think he was shocked because we were friends and I really enjoyed working with him in WWF and he was like "I didn't know how you were going to respond/react" and I was like "Its not the people within the business I've had problems with, we all know the problems and the reasons why" and I was happy to hear from someone and wondered why it took so long for someone to call me. When I went there, I was really psyched to see everybody and I don't think anybody expected me to go and be that willing to jump back in so it was kinda a quick process for everybody."
On her one appearance stay in TNA: "I really didn't know what was going to happen, I basically went to go to talk to them and I didn't expect to be on TV that night but you know, the Pay Per View was right around the corner so I know that was the angle they wanted to do so I really don't know what was going on behind the scenes. I knew Vince Russo and Bruce Prichard were really in my corner like wanting to make things happen so I don't know, maybe it never surfaced as I never heard back after that but I consider it open basically."
On Eric Bischoff 's recent "Deer in the headlight" comments: "My friend keeps me in [loop] so I've sort being listening to what people have been saying and when I saw his (Eric's) comments I didn't know how to react to it because I never expected it because it was so out of left field as I had just gone to TNA, things went great and as far as I'm concerned I've never had beef with Eric, I've never even worked with him, he was very nice to me when I was there and I don't have a problem with anybody and it was great so I just don't know where it came from, it was strange. Maybe I looked like a deer in the headlights because I didn't have the right lashes on? Or something, I don't know."
On keeping the porn film a secret: "I didn't hear from anyone before anybody knew about the movie because I had been keeping it a secret since I did the movie last November and that's one of the reasons I looked so well and why I feel so well and its not my obligation to go around telling people everything I'm doing and its not a secret either so after the fact I haven't talked to anybody in a while, its almost like he came up with a reason because of the movie, who knows?"
On her "TNA missing the boat" comment: "I didn't mean it in a negative way, I think they are missing the boat because I think we can have a lot of fun and I could do a lot of stuff and it didn't make sense to me to go do one thing then kinda have it lingering out there….. I mean when I did playboy, it was like the biggest issue ever because your combining the two so you have wrestling, boobs beer and popcorn *laughs*."
On working with the late Eddie Guerrero: "Yeah it was really fun, I love the soap opera aspect so for me it was the first time we got to do vignettes and the chemistry was there and it was funny and he really taught me a lot in the ring because when we worked together is was magic. I remember Eddie taught me how to press (slam) people and the first time I pressed him, I got him up and I was trying so hard and he jumped so hard as we were practicing in the middle of the ring and I actually threw him out of the ring and he landed on the floor!. He was awesome."
On WWE's Hall Of Fame: "Well you know what? As far as relationships goes, I'm way over that you know, it was a typical break up in the sense of losing someone you love and the deceit and cheating yes but that happens to all of us. What was the real heart breaker for me was that I really knew in my heart it would blow over in a year or two or when we were able to pass the relationship stage that everybody goes through in a break up but because of the way business was done, I didn't know that it would be a decade later and nobody has spoken to me I mean come on, I'm over the relationship part, it was just bad business on their part if you ask me."
On her future in the porn industry: "I'm hoping that's coming my way, there is definitely talk of more and you know, I just think in a short amount of time you see how your working together and I would love to do more work with Vivid, they have treated me exceptionally, its quite glamorous I have to say, it really has been, it felt great and they treated me beyond fair and I need that, I'm on board for sure so you know, we will keep you posted, I don't know what's gonna happen but its looking good."
On if she would return to WWE or TNA if they offered her a contract: "Absolutely; Based upon the deal. I've come real far at this point in my life and I know what I want and I know what I deserve so you know, if everything was good for this point if my life, yeah of course….. I think I'm pretty reasonable; I have done a lot of things throughout my career and worked hard for my name and know my work ethic so you know I don't know, like loreal, I guess I'm worth it but you know, you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow."
Bob's Opinion: She has real problems if she believes the porn industry wont chew her up and spit her out faster then HHH did.
Getting Into Summer
My wife and I have decided to make this summer a special one and to get out into the beautiful weather and enjoy it. So we have been looking on line to find things that might help us accomplish that, such as Adirondack chairs, Picnic Tables, Park Benches, and Site Furnishings.
We are really looking forward to sharing the outdoor experience this summer with each other and our friends, and those things that we have found online bring us one step closer to what the “Beach Boys” were singing about on their album, “Endless Summer”.

Shane McMahon Talks About Leaving WWE
Shane McMahon has talked publicly for the first time about leaving the WWE. Shane told the LA Times that the decision was "the hardest decision I've ever had to make" and that he left because although he was one of the successors to Vince McMahon, Vince "wasn't going anywhere."
Shane noted that "I didn't want to wake up when I was 70 and say, 'I should have done that." Shane is now involved with the company You on Demand, which has recently signed a deal to bring Warner Bros. movies to China via Video on Demand and says that his experience getting WWE content into China helped him broker the deal. He added that telling Vince he was leaving was "brutal" and that "It's still hard" regarding relations between them.
Bob's Opinion: I took alot of courage to walk away from his birthright in order that he might find another place in the business world

Randy Orton Suffers Concussion
Randy Orton did suffer a concussion while working in Madrid, Spain on Sunday. The concussion story they ran on Raw was a legit reason as to why he could not perform. WWE is still pushing that Orton will wrestle Sunday at the Capitol Punishment PPV, and while that would have been a given back in the day, wrestling seven days after a concussion is more questionable in 2011
Bob's Opinion: Why risk one of your biggest superstars? Randy Orton isn't going to make or break this PPV if he takes this one off. Let the man heal!
Lots of TNA news
- TNA has signed the son of Barry Darsow (Demolition's Smash), Dakota Darsow, to a deal. He has been training at the school Brian Knobbs runs since he was released from his development deal with WWE.
- Jerry Lynn was present at the Impact taping today. There is discussion of having him face Rob Van Dam at Destination X. Lynn hasn't wrestled much since his back injury suffered while training for his aborted match with RVD for the Hardcore Justice PPV last year.
- Tommy Dreamer is no longer on the TNA roster. His deal expired and he did not sign a new one. He recently opened his own production company to work on a film and some other non-wrestling related projects. He has also been seen at WWE headquarters, but there is not talk of him returning there.
- Suicide has reappeared on company's roster page.
Bob's Opinion: Now Jerry Lynn would be a priority if I were running TNA

Ultimate Warrior Tweets On Hulk Hogan
The Ultimate Warrior posted the following to his Twitter account regarding Hulk Hogan:
This thing going on between Terry and I is about something bigger than each of us. It is about YOU and the worth of your life.
People can do better things with their life potential than others but NO ONE has more potential than any other to start with.
All of us are born with the potential to do great things and live great lives.
When one does, the right thing to do is influence, inspire and empower other humans that they have the potential inside themselves, too.
Terry, doesn't do this. First, he takes credit for everything. There is no room for anyone else or praise for others.
Two, he has NOT used his incredible life success experiences to learn from them: grow wiser, be a better man, be a more capable mentor.
When a man fails at this, he cannot be seen as a leader, someone to look up to or admire. Those who do see him as such have been mislead.
Given the choice between the truth and the lies, they choose lies. Life will not work if you choose lies. This is what I know of life.
This is why I fight. Not so you make me like Terry believes he is. NO, I fight so that you know you DO NOT have to tolerate lives of lies.
Live lives of truth. Inspire ME. I succeeded at being a sports entertainer, and I am proud of what we did together.
But, to me, YOU are ALL better than that. YOU can do better. You can turn the whole f**king world upside down. I can feel your power. W

Kevin Nash Involved In Incident Outside Restaurant
Kevin Nash was reportedly in an altercation outside of a restaurant in Florida. Nash was out having dinner with his wife when a man came up and began hitting on her. When she turned him down, the man got aggressive, after which Nash knocked him down and restrained him until the police arrived.
When the police arrived, they arrested Nash instead of the guy, taking him in on battery charges. The case has been dropped due to lack of evidence and Nash has said in regard to it, "I'm a 52-year-old fake fighter. My hands aren't deadly weapons."
Bob's Opinion: awwww, the American justice system, hard at work

“Mr. Byron Wilcott is not the father of Ms. Stevens’s baby. The post on Mr. Wilcott’s Facebook page is completely false and we do not know why he would publish such a fantastical falsehood. We have contacted Mr. Wilcott through his Facebook page and have requested him to publish a retraction.”

Chyna Talks TNA
Chyna recently spoke about her position in TNA, here is what she had to say…
"Well, I haven't actually really spoken with them since I did a television spot and the pay-per-view, but it was never a contract on the line. They asked me to participate in the angle of what they were doing and I thought it would be fun. I went and I talked with them, and it was wonderful to see some old friends. I was elated, and so I did it. We hadn't really talked about a deal. I just didn't think that was something that I really wanted to get back into full force. They'd have to make me a deal that I simply couldn't say no to, because I fought [to own the name Chyna] for years. I spent a lot of time and a lot of money to take control of myself – which is another reason why this movie is special to me. I own me, and nobody tries to take my name. I like my freedom. For somebody to take that from me after all these years, it would have to be something so incredible – which I feel that I'm worth – and that didn't seem to be the case with TNA. But – and I don't know where they're coming from because I haven't spoken to them directly – to me, [the movie] is material on a silver platter. There's tons of stuff you could do with this for story line or exposure or whatever. My curriculum vitae is well-rounded [laughs]. It's never stopped me from anything else and if it does, too bad. Life is short and I'm going to live it."
Bob's Opinion: such a very sad statement, really.

JR on Mick Foley
Jim Ross posted a new blog. He was asked about Mick Foley returning to WWE. Here is his response: Better question for Mick to answer than me and he's on Twitter. I don't know. I do think that Mick's best, on going assets are his verbal skills and not a long string of wrestling bouts. Mick's PR value to any company is significant. Someone also asked if Mick vs. Undertaker at WM28 would make sense. For me, no. That ship has sailed and those two can never replicate what they once had and did back in the day nor do I think that they should try. However, Mick Foley is a great human being and certainly a future WWE Hall of Famer in my eyes. Mick is another guy who would be a great mentor to young talents in any developmental system.
Bob's Opinion: Can't argue with that (well I will argue his political views, but everything JR said was on the money)

Foley has not officially been released from TNA but that is expected to happen soon. As noted earlier, his current TNA contract expires in September.

Mick Foley Teases WWE Return - TNA Contract Update
Thursday night's episode of IMPACT WRESTLING concluded with Hulk Hogan announcing that Mick Foley had been fired as the Network Executive.
Hogan opened up a legal document and said that effective immediately, The Network has exercised the option of terminating said position. He then said to the camera, "Mick Foley, you're fired!" Hogan's theme music played and Bischoff said, "This is the happiest day of my life."
Foley lampooned news of his on-screen firing on Twitter. He wrote, "Wait, I was FIRED?!? Are you CEREAL..I mean SERIOUS?!?"
He added, "Wait, I just checked my DVR and it cut out during Bischoff's speech. I can't be fired; I just got back a few weeks ago. Right?"
Foley then teased a possible return to WWE, saying The Miz needs a new assistant (following the dismissal of Alex Riley) and he needs a new job.
He wrote, "Good point @DHStom - I think @mikethemiz might need a new assistant..and I need a new job. Interesting, huh?"
He then retweeted a fan's comment indicating that he could have appeared at Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's birthday bash rather than return to TNA for a few weeks. It read: "Good thing Mick had to stay around for 3 weeks rather than be at @TheRock 's bday bash. #baddecisions"
In accordance with the storyline, his profile has been removed from the company website's roster page. Foley, however, is still under contract to TNA. It expires in early September and he stated during an interview late last year with GeekWeek.com that he doesn't plan on renewing it. "The Hardcore Legend" said he was frustrated with communication problems inherent in the structure of the organization and that he wasn't pleased that they didn't air footage of his appearance at Jon Stewart's Rally To Restore Sanity at the National Mall in Washington, D.C
Bob's Opinion: I say, thank you TNA for not making me listen to Mick's liberal crap...it's about wrestling Mick, not your liberal politics

Kharma Comments On Jim Ross
Kharma recently spoke about Jim Ross, here is what she had to say…
"I've been told that a lot of people are taking pot shots at Jim Ross lately. If @JRsBBQ hadn't shot from the hip all those years ago, I wouldn't of had the fire to succeed as much as I did. I wouldn't of had the strength to sacrifice being with my family, my country, my native tongue to live in Japan for 6 years and learn this craft. I owe Mr. Ross a great gratitude. Not only for setting me on my path to success, but also being there with open arms at the end of my journey and escorting me to the finish line. Many of you may not know this but JR lobbied for my recruitment to WWE. We met at the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion in Las Vegas and I became fast friends with him and his lovely wife. He had heard the noise I was making in the industry and graciously gave me kudos. You never have to worry about where you stand with JR. He'll give you constructive criticism when you need it and praise when you've earned it. He's no sycophant and that is something to be celebrated. I'm hoping you all send him a thankful salutation, I know I will."
Bob's Opinion: I love this, maybe now people will get off JR's back
"I've been told that a lot of people are taking pot shots at Jim Ross lately. If @JRsBBQ hadn't shot from the hip all those years ago, I wouldn't of had the fire to succeed as much as I did. I wouldn't of had the strength to sacrifice being with my family, my country, my native tongue to live in Japan for 6 years and learn this craft. I owe Mr. Ross a great gratitude. Not only for setting me on my path to success, but also being there with open arms at the end of my journey and escorting me to the finish line.

Help Is There
As I watch and report on Pro Wrestling every day and see the pain and injury that they go through, I just thank God in my chosen profession that if I am hurt on the job, that I can collect workman’s comp., and if the company I work for doesn’t seem to want come through for me, that I have Workers Compensation Lawyers that I can go to.
The more I watch some of these guys in the wrestling business abuse their bodies doing the profession that they chose, I still have help if needed. Isn’t America great?

Trailer Released For Chyna's New Adult Film
TMZ.com reported recently that Chyna would be making her much anticipated return to the adult industry in the form of an extremely graphic pornographic video.
Vivid President Steve Hirsch told TMZ he was approached by Chyna "months ago" to create an X-rated film as part of her re-entry into the business.
She shot a movie involving two male adult film stars, tentatively titled Backdoor into Chyna. It is set for release on DVD "in the near future."
Her representatives, however, claimed last week that reports of the former WWE Diva returning to the adult film are "totally false."
In a follow-up on the story, Vivid Entertainment released a trailer for Back Door to Chyna today. The synopsis reads:
"The former WWE star, Chyna, is relaunching her porn career with a brand-spankin new debut. When she approached Vivid demanding a role with the best male stunt****, Vivid did her one better and gave her the two top male performers in the business. How do you make Chyna better? Team her up with Dylan Ryder and Diana Prince. Tentatively called "Backdoor to Chyna," this premier represents a whole new side of Chyna as she pushes her boundaries with a scorching **** scene. Enter through the back. And proceed with caution."
Bob's Opinion: There is a trailer for Chyna's new porn movie that has been released, but you will not find it here. Sorry guys, But I think it's pathetic that she has dropped to such a level. God help her.

Bob's Opinion: So sad
The WWE Tough Enough season finale is set to air LIVE from the RAW taping in Richmond, Virginia. All trainers and cast members will be brought back for the show. That means Steve Austin, etc. will appear LIVE on RAW next week.
The current plan is to pitch to the footage that was taped at FCW on 5/19, which shows footage of finalists Andy and Luke wrestling. They'll be using other material that was shot several weeks back. That will air before RAW and then the winner will be announced LIVE on RAW.
Bob's Opinion: There was some talk of the winner wrestling on RAW that night, but it is not confirmed.

Mick Foley Apologizes For Recent TNA Jab
Mick Foley apologized for his recent remark poking fun at TNA house show attendance.
He wrote on Twitter, "You know, in retrospect, I probably shoudn't have compared an empty arena match to an Impact house show. Funny..but disrespectful."
During WWE's Over the Limit pay-per-view, Foley responded to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson touting his victory over the Hardcore Legend in an "I Quit" Match in 1999 by saying he later beat him in an "Empty Arena Match aka TNA house show."
Bob's Opinion: thank you
