News Over The Grapevine
Here are a few submissions from inside the wrestling world.
Ashley Massaro Breaks her leg
Raw Diva Search
winner, Ashley Massaro, broke her left leg on the February 20th edition of Raw. According to WWE, "Ashley suffered a spiral fracture of the left fibula, a non weight-bearing bone, Monday night while competing in the Diva Battle Royal to crown a No. 1 Contender for the Women's Championship. Surgery will not be required, however, Ashley will be in a cast for four weeks." I, for one, think she will give the gimpy cripple look a whole new sexy connotation.John Cena vs Triple H at Wrestlemania 22
Triple H beat Big Show and Rob Van Dam in a three way dance to win the number one contender slot for John Cena's World Heavyweight title. This has been expected for quite some time and really isn't breaking news. In contrast Edge, who held the title for a very short moment, is going to face Mick Foley at WM22. GO MICK!
Rey Mysterio Lost His Wrestlemania Title Shot---May Get It Back
I reported earlier that Rey was going to lose to Randy Orton at No Way Out, thus forego
ing his WM22 title shot, and I was right. I then alluded to a possible Angle, Orton and Undertaker three way for the title, but after some actual thought on it I just might have to retract. The Undertaker is undefeated at all the Wrestlemanias he has been in, and logic dictates he won't start losing now. The reason why you don't see much of Taker is that, unfortunately, his career is winding down and he is used sparingly to prolong his career, and to help with PPV buy rates and things of that nature. So WWE can't put the title on him without seriously increasing his in ring schedule. Thus the door is open for Rey to be inserted into the title match somehow, thereby still honoring the tradition of the Royal Rumble winner actually participating in the WM main event. I will be monitoring this closely, and report more on it as I find out new tidbits.Vince McMahon and His Travling Hands
This too is kind of old news, but it has been going around that WWE chairman (Owner) Vince McMahon groped a tanning booth attendant a while back. According to Patty Therre at Bella Online, those accusations are true, but the matter seems to have been dropped, probably in lieu of a hefty payout. It is also going around that Vince is seeking a divorce from his wife Linda, but that is absolutely false. Think of the ramifications on splitting up assets, including WWE. Scary, ain't it?
It's Official, Eddie Guerrero To Be Inducted
I am glad to rep
ort that Eddie Guerrero was formally announced to be inducted into th
is years Hall Of Fame. There have been some rumbling that to induct Eddie now would not be appropriate as it may take some of the limelight away from Bret Hart's induction. I don't think so, there is plenty of room and proud hearts to induct the both of them. Look for Dusty Rhodes to be announced next. Also, Bret Hart has refused to be involved in any storylines (Unlike Hulk Hogan who made a small cameo in the Wrestlemania following his induction.), and he even turned down any pay from WWE and Titan Sports. However he is accepting travel and lodging, expect him to take the mic at Wrestlemania 22 to thank his fans and say good-bye.Dancing With The Stars
Stacy Keibler has reached the finals of Dancing With The Stars. The finals will take place this Thursday at 8 PM EST, with the winner being announced this Sunday. Stacy's contract with WWE is up soon, and there is a strong buzz going around that she may be leaving WWE to pursue a career in acting. I wish her well in all her future endeavors!
Byte This! Bites The Dust
The WWE webcast, Byte This! has been axed from the WWE website. I don't know if the recent schenanigans of "The Heart Throbs, Byte This last guest, had anything to do with it, but it's gone. I am not sure what happened as I didn't watch it, but I guess The Heart Throbs got a little out of hand and were consequently fired the next day. Byte This! got the ax a few day's later.
Well, that's it. Later Gators!

Ashley: I hate people suing people for no damn reason but in this case, I'm willing to make an exception. Anything to keep diva search winners and diva search losers out of the ring. Who has a title match against Trish next week? Candice? What the hell?
Cena/HHH: I'm loving how they kept the two away from each other until now. But the payoff of seeing the two in the ring together at the end of Raw this last Monday wasn't as nice as seeing Cena and JBL together at the end of No Way Out last year. They dropped the ball but it will be nice to see Triple H one up Cena when it comes to mic skills.
Rey: Eh, a three way between him, Orton and Angle could be good. Orton vs Angle could be good. But Rey vs Angle? We've seen it before and who wants to see it again? Just go with the three way and have Orton win or Angle retain.
Eddie: At first, I was upset that he's being inducted so soon when other wrestlers weren't even considered, despite also passing out. But then I remembered that as good as some of them were (Owen), they weren't half as good as Eddie. Have his wife and kids give a speech and dedicate Wrestlemania to him and it will be nice. But please, no more exploitation.
Byte This: I didn't see what happened with the Heart Throbs and didn't hear anything other than they were on Byte This and fired. Considering they sucked, who cares? But I would like to hear what happened. Any idea?
I'm glad you're still keeping up with the blog and talking about wrestling while not exactly in the ring for the time being. I hope you get better real soon. But come on, this is a blog, not a news site. I know you've got opinions. Let's hear them!
