Mick Foley Still Waiting To Hear From WWE

WWE is no longer advertising Mick Foley for the November 14 Raw SuperShow at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. He has been removed from www.wwelivetour.com and www.tdgarden.com. Mick Foley claims in an interview published today that he has yet to hear from WWE regarding a possible return to the organization.


He told NewsDay.com, "Working a couple of days a week compared to all week is not problematic... Would not be a deal breaker at all. That's assuming I get that phone call... I'm sure there's a lot of people on that list. I might have to scale back on some things, but that would be OK."

Bob's Opinion: I expect him to show up as a "surprise"

John Cena Says The Jorts Are Retired, Explains Meaning Behind New Shirt

Sunday at Vengeance, John Cena debuted new ring gear, replacing his trademark "jorts" with shorts featuring a variety of camouflage designs. He says this will be a permanent move.


"The jean shorts, for the moment, have been retired," Cena tells WWE.com. "These are military-issued camo, and I think they will stand out. I have every U.S. Military service branch represented: Army, Marine Corps., Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard. I’ll be changing it up from time to time."


Cena, however, clarified that he hasn't ditched the denim completely.


"They're always in the closet," Cena said. "Maybe when they come back in style 30 years from now I'll bust them out for the WWE Hall of Fame or something."


Cena also discussed his new "Rise Above Hate" shirt, which features the logo of the anti-bullying "be a STAR" campaign printed on the sleeve.


"I wanted to make a positive statement," Cena said. "I have a varied group of loyal fans out there that will literally back me through thick and thin. I’m known for crazy graphics and colors on my shirts, and I've pretty much run through the entire rainbow. I didn’t want the message to be drowned out with a graphic or anything like that, so we went real simple and put the words 'Rise Above Hate' with 'Hustle, Loyalty, Respect' on the back.

Bob's Opinion: How can you not like this guy? It makes me so mad when fathers get their sons to dislike him just because they do. He sets a good moral example and that's rare these days!

Bob's Pick of the Day: Brooke Hogan

WWE Star, Justin Gabriel, Grants His First Wish

WWE Superstar Justin Gabriel recently granted his first Make-A-Wish wish before the SmackDown tapings in Dallas, Texas. WWE Circle of Champions honoree Marvial Young requested to meet Gabriel. Gabriel told WWE's website:

I started asking a lot of people questions – like John Cena, who gets to do this all the time. I asked him what it was like. By him describing it to me, I was looking forward to it so much."

Bob's Opinion: Good for Justin, this is something to be proud of!

Bob's Opinion: no comment (well what could I say?)

Early Word on the Bound For Glory PPV Buyrate

Former NWA World Champion Barry Windham Hospitalized In ICU

Title *Spoiler* from Tonight's TNA Impact Wrestling Tapings

Bobby Roode defeated James Storm at tonight's TNA Impact Wrestling tapings in Macon, Georgia to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.


Another title change happened as Madison Rayne and Gail Kim defeated Miss Tessmacher and Tara to become the new TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions.

Vince McMahon Reportedly Upset Over Recent Zack Ryder T-Shirt

Vince McMahon reportedly "freaked out" a few weeks back when seeing Zack Ryder's "Take Care, Spike Your Hair" t-shirt because of the word "Spike." Apparently this has to do with Spike TV and TNA being on their network.


Ryder's shirts had sold out on WWE's shop website and he had a new Authentic shirt out. Word is that Vince originally wanted to pull the "Spike" shirts but decided to stop production on them but sell the ones that were in stock.

Bob's Opinion: Are you afraid of TNA Vinnie? How stupid can you be?

WWE Plans for Mick Foley

Mick Foley likely won't be in person at the Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 20th because of a previous charity commitment.

TNA will tape Impact Wrestling tonight in Macon, Georgia, including the November 3rd episode that will see the debut of MTV Jersey Shore star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.

Health Update On The Dynamite Kid

Speaking to Arda Ocal of The Score, former WWE talent Harry Smith discussed his relationship with Tom "Dynamite Kid" Billington, who was a cousin and tag team partner of his late father. Billington presently resides in Manchester, England and suffers from the after-effects of steroids and his high-impact wrestling style, which has left him confined to a wheelchair and partially paralyzed.

Smith said, "I've keep in touch with my Uncle Tommy, I went and saw him last November, that's when the WWE did a tour over there (in England). It was really great seeing him; we watched some of his old matches in Japan. Physically he's in rough shape but mentally he's still pretty sharp, we had a pretty good time and I hope to see him again soon."

James Storm Responds To Being Called "Too Southern"

James Storm has responded to an online report stating that some people within TNA Wrestling consider him "too southern" to represent the organization as World Heavyweight Champion.


He tweeted Tuesday, "I think it's awesome that I'm to "southern". It makes me....ME. So to the people who don't like it... Sorry about you damn luck. And a little FYI it's not to southern, it's to redneck and the are beer drinking rednecks all over THE WORLD not just the south."

Bob's Opinion: Amen! And for those that disagree...tell that to Stan Stasiak

WWE Says Triple H Is Out of Action for Six Weeks

WWE's website has posted a storyline update on Triple H following the attack from Kevin Nash on last night's RAW Supershow. They report that the WWE COO has suffered fractured vertebrae in his neck. The doctor adds that Triple H will be out of action for at least six weeks.

Bob's Opinion: In order to build up Nash and then come in to get his revenge, textbook story telling

WWE Changing Survivor Series Plans

WWE changed plans with The Rock and John Cena at Survivor Series as they originally had a traditional Survivor Series match planned with the two on the same team. That was changed to The Rock and John Cena vs. The Miz and R-Truth in part because officials felt that putting Rock and Cena in a traditional 5-on-5 match would take too much attention off them going into their WrestleMania 28 match.

Bob's Opinion: For some reason, this Cena/Rock Wrestlemania match doesn't excite me

Bob's Pick of the Day: Angela Fong

Vince’s Relationship With The Divas

Vince McMahon​ currently has a love/hate relationship with the WWE Divas. He feels that the shows need to have at least one Divas segment due to a demo it draws, but when they go out there, he feels it is a waste of time and has Cole do anything but promote them

Bob's Opinion: He doesn't like the Divas but he likes Cole? Kinda twisted!

CM Punk’s Perks

As a part of CM Punk's new WWE deal, he gets first class airfare, as well as his own touring bus.


Bob's Opinion: These are both considered perks for "top guys" in the company.

TNA News: Working With AAA, Eric Bischoff​’s Power, More

- The reason that Eric Bischoff has so much power within TNA is due to Spike TV working directly through him. This is because Spike TV had lost faith in Dixie Carter, following the situation where they were doing the angle to get the Main Event Mafia back together last year and they spent months building it up. She had told Spike TV that Booker T and Kevin Nash were going to be back. But Booker had no interest in returning. Kevin Nash was under contract but got out of it, (reportedly telling friends he threatened to "tell the truth about her") and she released him from his contract and allowed him to sign with WWE. Months of build went nowhere, and Fortune was turned face to feud with Immortal.


- TNA officials will be meeting with AAA officials, with the idea of working together more. In AAA, they are doing an angle with Konnan and Dorian Roldan bringing wrestlers in from TNA with the idea that they are trying to get TNA to take over AAA.


- Jules Werton was hired as the new head of Public Relations, replacing Steven Godfrey.

Bob's Opinion: How could anyone have faith in Bischoff???

Cena vs. Del Rio Cage Match at RAW Tonight?

Tonight's WWE RAW Supershow will take place from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas with the fallout from Vengeance and the build for Survivor Series.


John Cena vs. WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio in a steel cage match is being advertised for tonight's show. SmackDown stars scheduled for tonight's show include World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry, Big Show, Randy Orton, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, Sheamus, Christian, both Sin Caras and Daniel Bryan.

Bob's Opinion: get Cena out of the Championship picture for awhile please

Cena's New Rise Above Hate Gear

As seen at Vengeance last night, John Cena debuted his new "Rise Above Hate" t-shirt. WWE's shop website has the t-shirts up for sale in adult, women and youth sizes plus sweatbands, a pendant and a baseball cap to fit Cena's new theme.

Bob's Opinion: I'm diggin' it!

She Looks Like A Knockout!

The reason my wife has been checking out www.shoeminute.com is that my wife has been watching wrestling on television with me lately, I don’t really think it is to spend time with me or ever to watch those muscle bound guys without their shirts on. I believe she is watching to see what the WWE Divas and the TNA Knockouts will be wearing that week.


She really envies these women for the shoes that they get to wear. So as always, I like to make my wife happy, I told her that she should go online and do research on the quality of these shoes and possibly how much she would need to pay in order to have some for herself.


She recently found this site that reviews fashionable woman’s shoes and boots from high end designers. I believe she has found a place to find the shoes that would fit her perfectly. Does your wife deserve the best? Check out this site and give it to her!

Jericho Continues to Tease Fans

Chris Jericho continued to tease fans on Twitter last night after Vengeance when a fan wrote to him that Cody Rhodes used the Walls of Jericho in his match against Randy Orton. Jericho joked, "No effen respect!!!"

Bob's Opinion: not sure how to take him anymore
