Wrestling News 5/29

ORLANDO JORDAN FIRED

WWE suddenly up and fired Orlando Jordan on Friday (5/26). According to PWInsider, "The word going around at the taping was that Jordan had extremely upset WWE officials, including Vince McMahon, for having an unauthorized person on the road with him and backstage at events."

Jordan, who was slated to start a bisexual love triangle storyline involving former TNA star Trinity and his real life friend Eric, was possibly slated to have something to do with the resurgence of the new ECW brand. However he was fired without warning on Friday, and everything points to a last minute decision to do so.
WWE announced the firing as Orlando being released, and that they wished him well in all his future endeavors.

BENOIT OUT FOR LEGITIMATE INJURIES

The Canadian Crippler, Chris Benoit, is out of action indefinitely due to a nagging shoulder problem he has been suffering from for quite some time. This past Thursday on Smackdown WWE did an angle where Mark Henry "seriously injured" Benoit, but that was a work as Benoit was not truly hurt in that matchup, but just needs time off to heal his chronic shoulder problem. Benoit was slated to wrestle in the ECW "One Night Stand" PPV, but now his status on the show is uncertain. There is no timeframe for Benoit's return but many sources are estimating that he will be out of action at least two to three months. All Of us here at "The Making Of A Wrestling God" certainly wish Chris a speedy recovery and hope he get's back to action soon.
Rey Mysterio has been slated to take some time off to heal some accumulated injuries, but Smackdown has been having some problems as far as a depleted roster, so that has been pushed back. Smackdown is in desperate straights right now, with Randy Orton and Batista being out for various reasons. JBL was "fired". Kurt Angle being "drafted" to ECW. Last week Smackdown had it's second lowest ratings ever. They definitely need some help fast. I wonder if now would be the right time to pitch my "WILL WORK FOR FOOD AND TRANS" mantra to WWE!

SHAWN MICHAELS IN NEED OF SURGERY

Shawn Michaels has a knee in desperate need of surgical intervention. The Heart Break Kid recently underwent some medical testing to ascertain the extent of damage, and the news was only surgery will fix his problems. WWE has already taken proactive steps to explain a possible absence from the ring by having the Spirit Squad decimate his knee, and that may go a long way in explaining the possibility of Shawn wearing an Austin style knee brace in the future. WWE has been slowly hyping this DX reunion angle, and it is rumored that Shawn may wait until after the DX angle is played out at the 6/ 25 Vengeance PPV to take the time off to have the surgery and rehab. No one knows how long HBK may be out of action. All of us here at "The Making Of A Wrestling GOD" wish Shawn a speedy and full recovery.
MNM SPLIT, MELINA AND NITRO "FIRED"

One of the better tag teams in WWE is no more. The reasons are not widely known, other then Joey Mercury is in the middle of some personal problems, and word is he is entering rehab for a possible drug problem. There is a rumor that Batista and Melina have had a relationship, even though Melina is dating Johnny Nitro, and Batista himself is married. In a work, Teddy Long "fired" Melina and Nitro, but look for them to show up on the RAW brand very soon. I for one hope Mercury well in his recovery, and I would love to see MNM reformed soon as they are one of the better tag teams out there today in WWE.
