Some News, And A Very Generic Public Service Announcement

Hello all.

Well, like all good hooligans, I have been embroiled in some controversy's of late, and I would give a full accounting of what, when and where but that should be for another post, one I don't think I will bore you with. If you like drama, if you like backstabbing, double talking, attempted career torpedoing over the top drama you should save for your momma, then you have issues!

But for now, some news.

WWE's Plans for the Reformed DX News via www.pwinsider.com

"In addition to WWE giving away the return of DX at the June Vengeance PPV on Canada's Viewers Choice PPV website, which we reported a few days ago, a number of readers have sent word that the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, which will play host to the show, has written the following on their website:

World Wrestling Entertainment® (WWE) Vengeance, a live, pay-per-view event Sunday, June 25, 2006 at 7:45 p.m. with tickets on sale Saturday, May 13, 2006 at 10:00 am.

Superstars scheduled to appear:
THE RETURN OF DE-GENERATION X! - DX IS BACK!!!"



BIG SPOILER FOR WWE'S PLANS WHERE DX ARE CONCERNED
by Dave Scherer on 5/3/2006 (pwinsider.com)

"On the Canadian Viewer's Choice website, in a promo for the June Vengeance PPV, it states the following:

"DX, the degenerates that started the Attitude Era, will reunite at Vengeance . ­ Are You Ready? Don't miss a minute of the live action as RAW presents WWE's Vengeance, Sunday, June 25th at 8pm/5pm PT, live and only on Pay-Per-View. A World Wrestling Entertainment Production. Go to wwe.com for more details. See It All On Viewers Choice!"

While I don't know for sure that this means DX will be reformed at or by this show, I do know that there has been a lot of talk of doing so internally, as evidenced by Shawn Michaels and Triple H's actions on recent TV. I also know that this wouldn't be the first time that someone in WWE marketing released something before they were supposed to. In addition to that, Triple H is now said to be receptive to turning babyface."


WWE BRINGS BACK ANOTHER FORMER STAR - 5/10 www.pwinsider.com on 5/6/2006
For those of you who are wondering about his status, I am confirming that Jimmy "Akio" Yang has signed a new deal with WWE. Akio became known to the wrestling masses during his last run with WWE, where he was a bodyguard for Yoshihiro Tajiri. He is also remembered for the last run of Velocity, before it became an internet show, where he had a series of good matches with Paul London. Akio is to finish out his indepedant bookings first, but look for him in WWE programming coming near you, and quite possibly on the returning ECW brand.



ERIC BISCHOFF WRITING BOOK, NEW JACK ECW NEWS - 5/10 www.pwinsider.com on 5/6/2006
"The book Eric Bischoff is working on, which we reported on a few months ago, is not available for pre-sale on Amazon.com. It's advertised as, "In this no-holds-barred look at his career and life, Eric Bishoff will discuss the things that he did right and all that he did wrong as he helped shape the sports entertainment industry into the billion dollar business it is today." Now, you might say, "Why would he talk about his failures?" Well, that could have something to do with the fact that WWE is publishing the book.

I have gotten some email from people asking me about New Jack stating at an indy show this week that he has signed a deal with WWE to work for ECW. As of yesterday, that isn't true. Whether it will happen in the future, I can't say, but I do know that New Jack had some legal issues that prevented him from signing with WWE for last year's ECW PPV and if they haven't been taken care of, would do the same now."
