    I could see that. I just hope they don't bust him back to jobber status with a quick drop tonight. Then again I could just look at the spoilers results, but I'd rather have someone post Dreamer highlights on here as they happen :D

    MVP gets a nice reaction with his 'Ballin' move. But, to me, he was much more interesting as a heel.

    Yeah, MVP is a good heel, being better than us and all.

    Well, he can't have the kind of grip he did before he started ramping up the movie production side of the industry. He's splitting his time, something has to give way.

    I read an interview once (and I think it was Jim Ross) who said that Vince knows everything that goes on in his company, from what the top Superstar is doing to paperwork from the lowliest secretary.

    Having said that, I remember how, once Vince got involved with the XFL, how the WWE shows had lost some luster, including the botched Invasion angle. There are only 24 hours in a day.

    More on Umaga's release:

    As reported on WWE.com on Monday June 8th, 2009, WWE Superstar Umaga (Edward Fatu) has been released from his World Wrestling Entertainment contract. However, consistent with the practice of announcing wellness policy violations, it should be noted that Umaga’s termination was due to his second violation of the WWE Wellness Program and his subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility.

    I love that they still call it the wellness program. That's beautiful.

    Anyone wanna play guess the substance? I'll say pot. He looks like a pothead.

    He was one of the wrestlers named by SI in 2007 for buying drugs from the online pharmacy in Florida. I think it was a growth horomone. I'll put my money on that.

    RIP Mitsuhara Misawa, one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all-time.

    According to wrestlingobserver.com, Misawa took a routine back drop and apparently had a heart attack:

    Wow. And they think he died in the ring.

    RIP to the second Tiger Mask.

    Hope is on the way. The Undertaker is bound to make his every-six-months' three-month run. Imagine if his intros were incorporated into his actual match time - he'd be a year-round wrestler.

    I wonder if that means Michaels will be returning soon, too. I mean they've both been gone nearly two and a half months so I figure it's about time.
