He helped Sabin-Shelley get over. Perhaps that was the point tonight since they were in the stupid battle royal later on in the show, which, by the way, was only done to set up a series of matches of the eight who advanced from the PPV match to Impact.

 

From Meltzer's update today online:

Bobby Heenan was pulled from the Legends of Wrestling Fanfest in Milwaukee because he is undergoing emergency jaw surgery. If you are looking to send best wishes to Heenan you can get the message through davidherro@aol.com

 

McMahon has Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas jobbing to Hacksaw fucking Jim Duggan and Super Crazy.

Jesus, just the two best actual athletes he has on the Raw staff.

I like Crazy as an upset-minded comedy guy, but Duggan? Fuck.

 

He's super over.

 

Duggan's crap. Always has, always will. He's been boring as far back as Mid-South Wrestling.

 

I'm glad he beat cancer and all that, and I'm sure Glens Falls, N.Y. is awfully proud of him, but as a wrestler, Hacksaw Jim Duggan is the shits.

 

Duggan vs. cancer. That's the only thing I'm glad he beat. Seriously.

He won the first Royal Rumble, correct? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

 

Slam Sports has a story on the upcoming Bret Hart book in which he talks about everything. Everything.

Cyber Sunday PPV matches and voting items:

Randy Orton defends WWE title vs. Jeff Hardy, Mr. Kennedy or Shawn Michaels

Batista defends World title vs. Undertaker with Steve Austin, JBL or Mick Foley as ref

C.M. Punk defends ECW title vs. Big Daddy V, The Miz or John Morrison

HHH vs. Umaga in street fight, first blood match or cage match

MVP vs. Matt Hardy for U.S. title in boxing match, wrestling match or MMA match

Rey Mysterio vs. Fit Finlay in stretcher match, no DQ or shillelagh on a pole

 

The only question left is how they'll find a way to throw together a tag team title match and a women's match.

 

Should be Orton-HBK with a pick the stip or pick the ref vote. Then give Hardy and Kennedy their own match, since that's the obvious feud they're setting up. But if they're counting votes legitimately and not working them to get the results they want, as they claim, watch out for Hardy's fans to load up the ballot box for him. I'd vote for him.

 

Don't sell Vinny short. Hornswaggle and Rey as a tag team makes WWE sense. Probably against Kane/Taker or Khali/Henry
