As first reported by WWE Mobile Alerts, WWE has come to terms on the release of ECW Superstar Test (Andrew Martin). We wish Test all the best in all future endeavors.

And speaking of bacne, Snitsky managed to get it even worse when he slid over to ECW.

 

What's up with Snitsky these days? I saw him once after he came back and he was bald? Yikes.

At least they finally dropped the "it's not my fault" crap.

Also, why would you put Test in nearly every main event over the past month or so, only to release him now?

 

My guess: he balked at doing a job, based on the timing of releasing him on the day of their live TV show.

Either that or he wanted to start things up with Stephanie again ...

 

Never seen a ROH. Is it worth seeing?

 

*shudders*

I wouldn't put it past Vince to rehash that storyline, but Trips would have none of it methinks.

 

It depends. If you like wrestling for the wacky storylines and characters, maybe not. If you like it for the athleticism, then absolutely.

Feel free to PM me for details, as I think I might be the biggest ROH mark in this little community.

 

Went to an ROH show a year ago for the first time and it was fantastic. Also met the booker Gabe, and he's a fine lad. I marked out and bought a DVD too that was, as the kids say, off the chi-zain.

 

Got home from a game last night just in time to catch the Raw main event. Wow, that was fun. It had some old style heat with all the girls and kids screaming for Cena. And Michaels can still put on a clinic at selling. I rented the new year's Revolution show where HHH busted his knee again and the tag match was really great. Shawn and Orton juiced huge, especially Orton. And Edge has become quite the heel. I hope they keep he and Randy together for a little while longer. They're an old-style tag team, like Rhodes and Murdoch from the 60s.

 

After last night, methinks Rated RKO is finally going to split.

And Michaels was great last night. I loved watching him act like his old self when he tossed Orton the belt just as soon as Edge got up.

 

One thing WWE is doing right is building these storylines. If only they could be consistent and do strong storylines like this for every PPV, or at least the big four, it would be great. I watched ECW, too, last night and felt they actually had a decent hour in terms of quantity. Liked the Punk-Richards match, especially. The Lashley jump with the cage crashing on Umaga was kinda cool too.

Funny that Lashley was a guy that less than a year ago they were afraid to put in a main event on a PPV and now he's not only a world champion (granted the lesser of the 3 world titles) but is also getting a celebrity-tinged push with Trump in the mix and, of course, soon to include Austin.

 

Here's a video of Essa Rios wrestling on Jakked against ... someone you'll recognize

 

This reminds me of seeing an old WWF TV show where One Man Gang whipped up on a much thinner jobber named ... Jack Foley. You figure out who that might be. I wonder if anyone has it on You Tube somewhere. OMG squashed him and did more to him after the bell. Not sure if this was early in his debut with WWF (OMG that is).
