BOB HOLLY BATTLING SERIOUS INFECTION

WWE Superstar Bob Holly, Bob Howard in real life, is battling a life threatening infection known as MRSA. He had surgery to remove some bone chips in his elbow a while back, and got a very common staph infection. They treated it with antibiotics, and it appeared to go away, but it came back as the before mentioned MRSA, a highly resistant to medicine version of staph. Bob is on around the clock IV antibiotic treatment, but it doesn't seem to be responding to the medicine. There is a chance Bob could lose his arm in the end, if not his life. WWE knew of the staph infection and kept him wrestling instead of taking care of it before this new strain set in, but Bob doesn't blame WWE at all, he even had praise for Vince MacMahon for taking care of him monetarily wise while he is going through this. All of us here at "The Making Of A Wrestling GOD" wish Bob a full and speedy recovery.

CHRISTY HEMME, OTHERS DEBUT FOR TNA

Former WWE Diva, Christy Hemme made her TNA debut at TNA's Lockdown, and at this past weeks tv taping. She still looks absolutely amazing, and I am glad she is back in the wrestling world. Also, TNA is starting to look like a WCW reunion show because not only has Sting, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner been active on the programming, but this past week Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger made their TNA debut. Bagwell looked to still be in amazing shape, Lex on the other hand looked really thin, a shadow of his former self. Next week Scott Steiners brother Rick "The Dog Faced Gremlin" Steiner is set to make his TNA debut. Like I said earlier, it is beginning to look like a WCW reunion show, I just hope they let the younger guy's shine as they are the true future of the company. TNA has no business re-living the past, especially since WCW wasn't their past to begin with. But that's just my not so humble opinion.



CHARGES DROPPED IN MCMAHON GROPING CASE

Many of you may recall that Vince MacMahon was accused of sexually groping a tanning salon attendant and showing her naked pictures of himself while pressuring her for sexual favors. Authorities have dropped the charges due to lack of evidence. A paper also "broke" a story that Vince had filed for divorce against his wife, Linda, but that was just a rumor, there is nothing to substantiate those claims. In fact, all looks fine in MacMahonville.

BROCK LESNAR AND WWE SETTLE LAWSUIT

Brock Lesnar and WWE settled their long running court battle recently. Brock decided to leave wrestling to pursue a football career with the Minnesota Vikings, and he signed a contract securing his release from WWE, but he agreed not to pursue wrestling or shoot fighting anywhere in the world for ten years. However, Brock was cut from the Vikings and he claimed he didn't read the fine print in the no complete clause he signed. Exact details are sketchy, but Brock is free to wrestle now. Brock says he has no plans on returning to WWE at this time, but look for him to come back to WWE programming sooner or later.

MICHAEL COLE GETS A NEW JOB

Michael Cole has been named the new "Managing Editor" of the official WWE website. This position is not to effect his on air announcing.
KANE, CENA MOVIE NEWS

The release date for Kanes new movie "See No Evil" is set for May 19th. In the movie Kane plays some kind of crazy guy who likes to yank out peoples eyeballs. John Cenas movie, "The Marine", release date has been pushed back to at least September. It is thought that WWE is concerned about the lack of fan support Cena has been getting lately, and they will try to get more fans behind him before it is released to give the movie every opportunity to be successful.



I will be back later after I finish researching more details on the big news of ECW returning this September to a full time show.
