Regarding Matt Hardy’s present status with World Wrestling Entertainment, both sides remain at a strong stalemate.
Company officials want Hardy to address his issues, but he doesn’t want to. Furthermore, they are unwilling to release him at this time because they don’t want him joining rival promotion TNA Wrestling.
One company source indicated that the touring schedule has been hectic as of late and when things settle down following Sunday’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, Hardy’s situation will likely be addressed.
WWE has signed “The Bashing Bulgarian” Miroslav to a developmental contract. Miroslav is from Bulgaria and was trained by Gangrel and Rikishi, among others, at the Knokx Pro Wrestling Academy in Burbank, California.
Miroslav would be WWE’s second acquistion from Knokx Pro, following Alberto Del Rio’s personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. He too is a trained professional wrestling.
WWE Intercontinental champoin Dolph Ziggler was interviewed by Phil Strum of the Poughkeepsie Journal this week to promote Sunday’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Below are the highlights of what Ziggler said about:
Being Satisfied With His Career: “Actually, I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve worked really hard to get where I am today. On my own personal schedule, I am a little behind schedule. I think I’ve dealt with things really well in my career and I’m on track.”
Being Sent Back To FCW After The Spirit Squad Gimmick: “Of course, it’s scary any time you’re coming off the main roster. But I was less than a year into the business at the time and I knew I just needed to work harder than everybody else. I had to go back and learn more of the business. I had two or three practices where I worked with some of the best guys. Working with Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Ric Flair really sped along my learning.”
Which Wrestlers He’s Learned From: “Shawn Michaels, 10 or 15 years ago, was may favorite ever in the ring. Beating someone up, getting beat up. He was the best ever. I’ve taken a lot of advice from him. It’s incredible to watch him. He’s done it better than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
Working with Vickie Guerrero: “It’s been great. I think we make a good combination. Me and her work well together. No one gets booed more than Vickie Guerrero. People hate her and I love it. I like working with her. Hopefully, I can absorb some of that hatred. I know people don’t want to boo me because I look so good.”
His Goals in WWE: “I honestly want to be considered the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time. I want to be the world champion and I wanted to be one of the greatest sports entertainers that this business has ever seen.”
The complete interview can be read here.
WWE has discussed turning Kaval heel and having him feud with Rey Mysterio early next year.
When the NXT season two winner was initially signed, Mysterio was one of the people pushing for a program with him. However, injuries to both wrestlers derailed potential plans.
WWE has discussed tying the 20th anniversary of the debut of The Undertaker character with November’s Survivor Series. One of the ideas being discussed is a Buried Alive Match between The Undertaker and Kane.
There has been talk of it being Undertaker’s final run with the company and they wanted him to conclude his career with his longtime manager, Paul Bearer, by his side.
I personally hope that the Undertaker will keep on going for a couple of more years, because I still want to see him continue his streak on Wrestlemania. Live. While I'm there. Front row preferably.
While nobody expects Nexus to be disbanded, it has been noted that the faction’s merchandise sales have been poor. WWE officials expected the group to get over as anti-heroes, but its merchandise has failed to significantly move.
WWE will be releasing a two-disc Bobby “The Brain” Heenan DVD set on December 28th. Below is the official synopsis:
“Fans loved to boo Bobby Heenan but despite their vocal displeasure with The Weasel, everyone acknowledges he’s the greatest manager in the history of sports entertainment. He guided members of the infamous Heenan Family to great heights in both the AWA and WWE, even occasionally stepping into the ring himself. He also further cemented his place in pro wrestling lore by becoming one of the great color commentators of all time, completely earning his 2004 induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Now, for the first time ever, fans can relive the Brain’s magnificent career in Bobby The Brain Heenan, a 2-disc DVD that tells the life story of Heenan as well as collects his most famous matches, interviews, and moments. “
WWE has confirmed that NXT will begin airing on their website as of next Tuesday night. Next week will see the first Diva elimination.
Hopefully this will mean I can watch it over here in Holland as well... But probably not... So Vince, if you're reading this, please try to get it on Dutch TV as well! There are enough people that would watch it, given the chance. Now, instead, most people download every episode, illegally.
That's all for tonight folks, if there's anything you want to know more about it, ask about them in comments, and I'll see what I can find for you guys.
Until next time,
Rest In Peace,
Undertaker.

More Matt Hardy news! as well as other news.
For what it’s worth, a lot of people feel that Matt Hardy is in complete work mode trying to get his release from WWE with the recent odd behavior on his Youtube and Twitter pages. Hardy claimed this weekend that he suffers from Disassociative Identity Disorder, which is the same disorder that Herschel Walker has suffered from.
More info on his claimed disorder can be found here.
Unless WWE announces something else, NXT is expected to move to the WWE website beginning next week as the NXT deal with SyFy expires this week and SmackDown comes to the network on Friday nights. NXT will remain on TV in Canada, the UK and other countries.
WWE officials are high on NXT and at last word, were still looking for a new TV deal in the United States.
WWE has signed model Melyssa Buhl to a developmental deal. She is 26 years old and is from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She noted online that she will be entering a contract on October 14th, presumably her WWE deal, and wouldn’t be able to book shoots with photographers after that.
I took the liberty to look up some of her pictures, and I say DO IT! Because she's just, well, not gonna lie, HOT!
WWE’s United States Champion Daniel Bryan will not be at the live SmackDown this coming Friday night as he will be finishing up previous independent bookings. Several RAW stars are booked for the big SyFy debut on Friday.
Here is a spoiler-free preview for tonight’s episode of WWE RAW .. The show was taped last week due to the WWE production crew being on the road this week for Friday’s live SmackDown premiere on SyFy:
* WWE champion Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho.
* John Cena vs. Edge.
* WWE United States champion Daniel Bryan & John Morrison vs. The Miz & Alex Riley.
* Sheamus vs. Great Khali.
* Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel vs. Mark Henry and Evan Bourne.
* Diva Battle Royal to crown a #1 contender for Divas championship.
If I was able to watch (besides the fact that I have to work, the WWE is still not on television here in Holland >.> ) I would be especially interested in how Sheamus would fare against the Great Khali.
There have been rumors within WWE about RAW Diva Jillian Hall’s future with the company. While her status with the company is in good standing, plans are being made to “retire” Jillian as an on-air performer. She would then work as a trainer to WWE’s female developmental talents in Tampa, Florida. No word yet when these changes will happen with Jillian but that is the plan.
The Giant Gonzalez died on 22nd of September this year due to complications of his diabetes. He was 44 years old.
PWTorch.com is reporting that the reason why Cody Rhodes hasn't received a major WWE push is because Vince McMahon is not confident in the superstars' abilities. "Cody Rhodes is capable of a breakout, but Vince McMahon just can't commit to him," said a WWE source. "He thinks he overacts."
As far as Paul Bearers return goes, here is a partial interview with him, with the link to the complete interview on the bottom of it:
"Where do I begin my friends? I guess we should go with the "Reader's Digest" version, since those of you that visit here often know I can ramble on and on. Let's just cut to the chase. About four months ago I received a call from the WWE creative folks asking if I had any interest in returning to the company. Of course this totally caught me off guard.
Just to step back for a moment, many are aware that my wife passed away from three battles with cancer, on January 31, 2009; and my life took some major turns following that tragic life changing event. We were married 30-years.
Since my departure from WWE at the GREAT AMERICAN BASH on June 24, 2004, I had virtually divorced myself from professional wrestling completely and returned full-time to Funeral Service, which some may not realize that I have a degree in Mortuary Science and I am a legit licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer. I managed a small Funeral Home and Crematory here on the Gulf Coast.
The rest of the interview can be found here. Well what do you know. It's actually a blogspot account as well :).
A video of Paul's return can be found here.
That's all for today people, I hope you guys enjoyed the read again.
Until next time,
Rest In Peace,
Undertaker.

Trevor Murdoch opening for the first time after Lance Cade's passing, and more
In an exclusive interview with SLAM! Wrestling, Trevor Murdoch talks about the death of his partner and best friend, Lance Cade.
Murdoch wants everybody to share in some of his positive memories of Cade, rather than the people he dislikes for merely using the 29-year-old Cade as a political pawn during Linda McMahon’s Senate run.
The full interview can be read here.
Lance Cade passed away on the 13th of August of this year.
World Wrestling Entertainment has begun work on a DVD project highlighting Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler’s legendary career, reports PWInsider.com. It is scheduled for release in 2011.
Former WWE performer Shelton Benjamin has issued his first public comments about his release, writing the following on his Twitter page this week:
“WWE never made me any promises, just gave me an opportunity to make money. And I made a lot of money, so (they) fulfilled their end. I am not bitter or scoured and I’ve got too much pride, passion, and confidence in myself to cry like a baby because I was released.”
Benjamin says he was underutilized during his time in WWE and that there are many things about the company that “suck” – but that probably won’t stop him from returning to the company at some point in the future.
“Do I think I should have been a World Champion, HELL YES! Was I underutilized? Without a doubt. Do I have issue with WWE, NO! I NEED TO BE AWAY FROM WWE so I can grow as a performer. There are many things about that company that SUCK, but I got no time to be crying about it. I am enjoying a good life now and if history serves chances are you haven’t seen the last of me in WWE, even if I go elsewhere along the way.”
Benjamin is currently wrestling for Ring of Honor with his former WWE tag partner, Charlie Haas.
WWE RAW superstar Chris Jericho posted a few messages on Twitter this week taking aim at “Internet experts” who reported that he is leaving WWE for the next few months.
It’s been reported for months that Jericho’s WWE contract is expiring soon and Jericho’s stipulation that he would leave WWE if he didn’t win the WWE title at Night of Champions coincided with these reports. Our WWE sources still say that Jericho will be taking off the rest of the year very soon – despite the fact that he wrestled at this week’s RAW tapings. But Jericho is now jumping on the Internet crowd that he often plays to. Jericho wrote on Twitter this week:
“Hey Internet…I'm a heel. Heels lie, therefore if I say something boastfully and reneg on it, it’s not an official stipulation. Smarten up!”
.. and he followed up with:
“Hello Internet experts. Allow me to explain something to u kiddies. Winning and losing means nothing if you do it properly. I would be happy to lose to every single one of you and watch your faces as I walk out of the arena with more heat than before. Watch and learn children. Sit back and let the real experts work our magic as we make u behave like the puppets that you are. Cheers!”
Bad news for SmackDown star Christian .. It has been confirmed that he has torn a pectoral muscle.
He will have surgery this and is expected to be out of action for 6 months following his recovery and physical rehabilitation, according to PWInsider.com. That would keep him away until February.
Fellow SmackDown star MVP wrote on Twitter:
“Let’s wish [Christian] a successful surgery & a speedy recovery! The good guys need him back quickly.”
Without giving away spoilers for Friday’s SmackDown, there will be an angle on Friday’s show that could be a way to get Christian off television for the next few months.
WWE will be releasing the “Top 50 Superstars of All Time” three-disc DVD set on December 14th. Below is the official synopsis:
“It’s a timeless debate for sports entertainment fans everywhere. Who is the greatest of all time? Better yet, what superstars make up your top 10, or if you are a real student of history, 20, 40, or 50? The debates and cross-generational comparisons can go on forever, as fans compare Stone Cold to the Hulkster, Ric Flair to Shawn Michaels, this generation s giant (Big Show) to the all-time Giant (Andre), or ask whether John Cena and Randy Orton have already done enough to cement a permanent legacy in this industry. Now, with the 50 Greatest Superstars in WWE History fans can enjoy the first-ever countdown of the biggest superstars in history, complete with highlights of the top 50, commentary from today’s WWE Superstars explaining their choices, and more.”
The cover for Chris Jericho’s much anticipated follow-up book to the New York Times bestselling A Lion’s Tale, Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps, has been released. To view the cover, click here.
That's all for today, and I hope to see some more of those lovely comments :)
Until next time,
Rest In Peace,
Undertaker.

MAJOR surprise at Smackdowns taping and other stuff
THIS IS GOING TO BE A SPOILER, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THIS, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM READING THIS PARAGRAPH. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CERTAIN PERSON RETURNING TO THE UNDERTAKER - KANE STORYLINE.
Well, if that wasn't clear, then you're probably blind and won't be able to read this anyway.
Ohhhhhhh yessssss…..
The one and only PAUL BEARER returned to WWE at Tuesday’s SmackDown television taping (it's taped on Tuesday, but aired on Friday) in Bloomington, Illinois to participate in the ongoing Undertaker vs. Kane storyline.
Later in the show, Kane challenged Undertaker to a Hell in a Cell match at the HIAC (Hell In A Cell) PPV on October 3rd.
Bearer was written out of WWE story lines back in 2004, when he was “buried alive” in concrete at that year’s Great American Bash.
There was even a fan-made picture, but until I have seen some more proof, please be aware that this might be a fake message and what not. It does seem legit though, because there has been word from Paul himself that he was also doing a lot of voice-acting for SDvsRaw 2011.
Guess there's only one way we'll find out...
ENDING OF SPOILER. ENDING OF SPOILER. ENDING OF SPOILER. ENDING OF SPOILER.
Ken sent word that Daniel Bryan’s new theme music is called Ride of the Valkyries. Ken also notes that the book Bryan had on RAW this week was “American Brutus: John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies” by Michael W. Kauffman.
Mind you, I don't have a clue who this "Ken" is. He is a name that popped up in a message on LordsOfPain.net .
Big Show is now on Twitter at @WWETheBigShow and no longer using @No1Knucklehead.
(I should really get this thing called Twitter >.> )
Or should I? Because look what I then found out:
Last week, WWE officials were wanting talents go promote Twitter on TV and were wanting everyone to have an account. This week, apparently that idea has changed. WWE is continuing to push Twitter but they want stars to focus more on Facebook now.
Lucky for me, I already have one of those :)
Also, more marriage news, as it appears that Kofi Kingston had the weekend of the 11th of September off because he was getting married. (Please, no 9/11 jokes, you can go do those somewhere else, thank you).
Former WWE champion John Bradshaw Layfield appeared on the “Right After Wrestling” radio show last night. JBL spoke about Alberto Del Rio’s gimmick being similar to his, whether he’d ever return to WWE and more. You can listen to the interview at TheScore.com.
Among the more interesting topics discussed was JBL talking about hazing in wrestling and whether the rumors are true that he was a major bully in the locker room during his time in WWE. JBL said:
“Did I haze the Miz? Hell yes! A lot of people want to talk about me and my hazing. Yes I did. I make no apologies about it what so ever. When I started, guys were hazed, and for good reason. They wanted to know that in a riot, which we had a few back in the day, were you going to be on the side of the boys or the fans?”
“Nowadays there’s no room for it, the corporate, sterile world that is the WWE. When the Miz came in, most of the hazing was me working. Me on the Mic, me talking to him. I gave him as much advice as I possibly could because I thought he had the ability to be a good heel. But I’m not going to apologize for hazing him.”
Then, and I have been waiting for this game for a while now, the trailer for SDvsRaw 2011. DO FUCKING WANT.
That's it for today folks, I'm off to bed.
Actually, no, first a sandwich, then bed... Oh what would you care, anyway.
Until next time,
Rest In Peace,
Undertaker.

Tons of news!
Well... As low as the amount of news was yesterday (or 2 days, depending on you location), the more I have for you today.
Lets start of with the following:
There is a new Asian Diva training at the WWE Developmental FCW live event. She was introduced this weekend at the live show in Brooksville, FL.
Her ring name is Vannah. Vannah is better known as Su Yung, who has wrestled for Glory, Memphis Ladies Wrestling and various other independents.
She signed a development deal in July.
Both Daniel Bryan and Ted DiBiase debuted new theme songs on the last episode of Raw.
Alex Riley will be having a more regular appearance on Raw, as the Miz appointed him as some sort of `personal guard` type of thing.
The current plans for the Unified Diva´s Championships seems to be to make the Champ appear on both Raw AND SmackDown. Thus far, this will probably be the team of Michelle McCool and Layla, as they have crowned themselves as co-Unified Diva's Champions.
And Matt Hardy (yes, can't write a blog about WWE without news about the good man) is no longer listed for any upcoming WWE TV or PPV events. Matt himself says “I have sucked it up for a while and I’ve done pretty much everything I could humanly do,” Hardy wrote. “I think it’s just time to move on.. I would have liked to stay in WWE for my entire career, but looks like it’s just not gonna work out that way. Thanks for your comment pal.” He says this in a comment to a fan on his youtube channel.
WWE Officials are currently looking to what to do with mr. Hardy, if they haven't already, however the general feeling, and Matt's own hope, is that he will be released soon.
Shortly after Raw, WWE Diva Jillian cryptically noted on Twitter that she had closed a chapter Monday.
“A chapter closed tonight,” she wrote. “Excited for what’s ahead.”
Her statement was misconstrued by some fans as an indication that she was parting ways with World Wrestling Entertainment. She then clarified: “No…. WWE hasn’t released me silly gooses. Just opening a new chapter in the book of Jillian!”
Ted DiBiase will be appearing on SyFy’s World Cyber Games Ultimate Gamer this Thursday night at 11pm EST. DiBiase will play in a SmackDown vs. RAW 2010 challenge.
And last, but not least, a little info on Shawn Michaels, the Heart Break Kid, in a video interview he did after receiving a lot of the same questions from fans on his youtube channel.
WWE legend Shawn Michaels answered a batch of questions sent in from fans on his YouTube page. Michaels answered questions about a number of topics – including whether he will ever wrestle again, if he’d consider returning to television in a non-wrestling capacity, if he’d ever go to TNA and more. Here’s what Michaels said about:
Retirement: “It was time. It was time for HBK to pack up and move on. There isn’t anything I left undid. There isn’t any match that I wish I had. There is absolutely nothing that I didn’t do for me. I know there are a lot of matches people would have liked to have seen, but for my wish list, I was fortunate enough to accomplish far beyond anything I possibly could have accomplished. That was the reason I was ready to go. If there was even one little thing out there, I would have stayed around. Rest assured, there are no regrets and there are no ‘I wish I would have’ for me in WWE.”
His Future & Whether He’d Go To TNA: “No, I’m not going to come back to wrestle. I’m going to do my best to keep my word willing. I’m not going anywhere else. I’m going to be a WWE guy, the good Lord willing, until the day I die,” Michaels said. “You’re not going to see me show up on someone else’s wrestling program. I hope to make some appearances throughout the years. Hopefully in the not too distant future, I will see many of you again.”

Well, that's it for now, I'm off to work.
Until next time,
Rest In Peace,
Undertaker.
Lets start of with the following:
There is a new Asian Diva training at the WWE Developmental FCW live event. She was introduced this weekend at the live show in Brooksville, FL.
Her ring name is Vannah. Vannah is better known as Su Yung, who has wrestled for Glory, Memphis Ladies Wrestling and various other independents.
She signed a development deal in July.
Both Daniel Bryan and Ted DiBiase debuted new theme songs on the last episode of Raw.
Alex Riley will be having a more regular appearance on Raw, as the Miz appointed him as some sort of `personal guard` type of thing.
The current plans for the Unified Diva´s Championships seems to be to make the Champ appear on both Raw AND SmackDown. Thus far, this will probably be the team of Michelle McCool and Layla, as they have crowned themselves as co-Unified Diva's Champions.
And Matt Hardy (yes, can't write a blog about WWE without news about the good man) is no longer listed for any upcoming WWE TV or PPV events. Matt himself says “I have sucked it up for a while and I’ve done pretty much everything I could humanly do,” Hardy wrote. “I think it’s just time to move on.. I would have liked to stay in WWE for my entire career, but looks like it’s just not gonna work out that way. Thanks for your comment pal.” He says this in a comment to a fan on his youtube channel.
WWE Officials are currently looking to what to do with mr. Hardy, if they haven't already, however the general feeling, and Matt's own hope, is that he will be released soon.
Shortly after Raw, WWE Diva Jillian cryptically noted on Twitter that she had closed a chapter Monday.
“A chapter closed tonight,” she wrote. “Excited for what’s ahead.”
Her statement was misconstrued by some fans as an indication that she was parting ways with World Wrestling Entertainment. She then clarified: “No…. WWE hasn’t released me silly gooses. Just opening a new chapter in the book of Jillian!”
Ted DiBiase will be appearing on SyFy’s World Cyber Games Ultimate Gamer this Thursday night at 11pm EST. DiBiase will play in a SmackDown vs. RAW 2010 challenge.
And last, but not least, a little info on Shawn Michaels, the Heart Break Kid, in a video interview he did after receiving a lot of the same questions from fans on his youtube channel.
WWE legend Shawn Michaels answered a batch of questions sent in from fans on his YouTube page. Michaels answered questions about a number of topics – including whether he will ever wrestle again, if he’d consider returning to television in a non-wrestling capacity, if he’d ever go to TNA and more. Here’s what Michaels said about:
Retirement: “It was time. It was time for HBK to pack up and move on. There isn’t anything I left undid. There isn’t any match that I wish I had. There is absolutely nothing that I didn’t do for me. I know there are a lot of matches people would have liked to have seen, but for my wish list, I was fortunate enough to accomplish far beyond anything I possibly could have accomplished. That was the reason I was ready to go. If there was even one little thing out there, I would have stayed around. Rest assured, there are no regrets and there are no ‘I wish I would have’ for me in WWE.”
His Future & Whether He’d Go To TNA: “No, I’m not going to come back to wrestle. I’m going to do my best to keep my word willing. I’m not going anywhere else. I’m going to be a WWE guy, the good Lord willing, until the day I die,” Michaels said. “You’re not going to see me show up on someone else’s wrestling program. I hope to make some appearances throughout the years. Hopefully in the not too distant future, I will see many of you again.”

WWE Supershow and other news
WWE will be hosting an Supershow on October 17th in West Valley City, Utah – the night before the Bragging Rights pay-per-view. Matches advertised are Sheamus vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Title, Kane vs. Undertaker in a steel cage match and CM Punk vs. Kofi Kingston.
For those of you living near there, this should definitely be an interesting show, although some superstars might take it a little easy, if they are scheduled for the next day on the PPV.
Nexus star David Otunga and his fiancee Jennifer Hudson will be getting married later this year. The two will be moving out of Florida and back to Chicago, where she is from. They had been living in Tampa since Otunga was working out of Florida Championship Wrestling.
Besides these 2 messages, I couldn't find anything interesting just yet.
However! Tonight is Night of the Champions, a PPV where every single championship will be defended.
If anybody has the ability to watch properly, please keep me informed about the shit that goes down, as I cannot watch it here in Holland.
Thank you.
Until next time,
Rest In Peace.
Undertaker.

Hardy moving to TNA? And other stuffies
Matt Hardy "teases" his fans on twitter, after a fan asked if there is any chance he'll join his brother Jeff on the TNA roster to bring back the old Hardy days.
Matt replied to this question with the following: “A 100% chance :) And I can’t wait..”
(That was quite a short update on Matt for a change. Guess I can finally start naming my message-titles differently now)
The Playboy Magazine Cyber Club sent out an email on Friday morning promoting several new nude pictures that WWE Diva Maryse took for the magazine. The e-mail features four pictures, two of which show Maryse topless. They promote her pictures by saying, “WWE Diva Maryse Ouellet see her knockout nudes in the Playboy Cyber Club”. The photo shoot was from 2006, before Maryse was signed with WWE.
It is going to be interesting how this turns out, since the previous shoot from '06 was when they were not yet rated PG. However, it may not effect her/them in any way at all, because everybody that is "allowed" to see them, age-wise, is over the "PG" age anyway.
Former CrymeTyme tag-team half Shad Gaspard tweeted about producing a music video for an international group known as "QSign". A link to the video can be found right about here somewhere.
Personally? I didn't really like the video, for I am not one to enjoy moves like that. I think they're a bit over the top, and everybody and their mom seem to be able to do them. The song itself, however, I did enjoy.
Anyway, on to some other news.
Former WWE star Sean Waltman was, according to the sites, arrested earlier this week on behalf of possession of drugs. He was arrested on the Newark Libert International Airport this past Sunday.
The story notes that the drugs were found on him after he was unable to show any ID, about which he said it was robbed on a party he was attending to the day before. The police then searched him, and found a rolled marijuana cigarette in his pocket. This led to him being arrested. He was released the same night.
Sean Waltman himself commented on the whole ruckus with the following messages on his twitter:
"Some c--- stole my wallet with 1500.00 in it & my id. Got arrested for possession of half a joint's worth of weed. Still in NY 4 some biz."
And later, "Im in NY area with no weed 2 smoke. Cops took it. Anyone in the area want to hook a brother up?"
And also, "i love the websites that say i was arrested 4 drugs. like they dont know it was just weed. I didnt have an 8 ball 4 f---'s sake. 1/2 a joint"
The WWE also shouldn't put so many Superstars in so many different movies in the same period of time, or I need to turn this into a WWE Superstar Movies blog or something.
Anyway, presenting to you:
The trailer for "Knucklehead", a movie starring The Big Show.
Also, SD Superstar CM Punk and Diva Alicia Fox both have a (new) twitter account.
CM Punk's new twitter.
Alicia Fox's new twitter.
That's all I could find today.
Until next time,
Rest In Peace,
Undertaker
