Randy Orton To Nurse A Broken Ankle

It is strongly rumored that Randy Orton will begin his 60 day suspension after he wrestles Kurt Angle in the King Of The Ring Tournamet. The storyline will be Randy is nursing a broken ankle. In actuality he is serving his suspension from being naughty. More on this a little further down this entry in the King Of The Ring Brackets.

WWE Signs First Ever Third Generation Hart Family Wrestler

WWE recently signed the son of the late Davey Boy Smith and the nephew of Bret Hart. Harry Smith is billed at 6' 5" and 220 lbs. He has wrestled in New Japan Pro Wrestling, the now defunct Major League Wrestling and various indie promotions. Look for him to make his WWE debut sometime in May after he finishes his Japan and Indie obligations.

King Of The Ring Tournament Brackets

First Round:
Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton
Matt Hardy vs Booker T
Chris Benoit vs Finlay
Lashley vs Mark Henry
Semifinal Round:
Angle/Orton winner vs Hardy/Booker T winner
Benoit/Finlay winner vs Lashley/Henry winner
Finals:
Angle/Orton/Hardy/Booker T winner vs Benoit/Finlay/Lashley/Henry winner.

As reported above, Randy Orton is due to begin his 60 day suspension following his match with Kurt Angle. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Angle is going to make Randy tap out to the Angle ankle lock, where it will be purported that Kurt broke Randy's ankle. So, while he is laid up nursing his boo boo, he will, in actuality, be serving his suspension, probably WITH pay. I am making the prediction right here, right now for one match in the KOTR Tournament: Angle will advance to the semis. Write that one down.

ECW One Night Stand

ECW "One Night Stand" is scheduled to kick off on June 11, 2006, and the tickets go on sale this Saturday. Prices are $250, $100 for the cheap seats. So far the show is set to highlight Rob Van Dam and Terry Funk. The word is that RVD will use his Money In The Bank guarantee to wrestle for the Heavyweight Title, although against just who remains somewhat up in the air. Triple H was originally scheduled to win the title at Wrestlemania, but Cena was picked to retain at the last second. Cena is scheduled to turn full fledged heel (news in itself) and it is being speculated that, at Backlash, Triple H will beat Cena for the title, there by bringing Trips into One Night Stand as the champion, where RVD will challenge for the title. Where WWE goes from there, I have not a clue, but I will inform you all when I find out.

Former WCW/WWE Star Has Major Surgery

Brian Heffron AKA The Blue Meanie, had surgery recently where doctors removed half of his left lung due to a medical problem called Empyema. He is home recuperating now, and is doing a lot better, according to him. For those of you who have been reading this blog, you are familiar with the bouts I am having with my lungs (stupid pneumonia and pulmonary embolisms!), I am doing MUCH MUCH better, and I truly hope the same for Blue. For those of you who want to drop Blue a email and wish him a healthy recovery, visit his page at www.myspace.com/thebluemeanie.
