- TNA’s Kurt Angle is working through a injured hamstring. Before his match at Bound For Glory the area was actually black with bruises, but he wrapped it up and soldiered on regardless.

- Former WWE supestar Bob “Hardcore” Holly is currently working on a book entitled The Hardcore Truth.”

“My book will be different because it’s about my life pre-WWE days and my perspective of the wrestling business. I will talk about things no one has dared to talk about,” Holly told SLAM! Wrestling. “It will be written in a very unique style thanks to Ross Williams who I’ve chosen to write my story. I believe this book will be an interesting and entertaining read. You will definitely want to read this book not only for what I am going to share but the exceptional brilliant style of writing Ross uses when putting words on paper.”

- The latest idea for the WWE Network is a Legends reality show. WWE sent out the following possible show titles:
WWE House of Fame
WWE Old Timer Acres
WWE Retired and Rowdy Roommates
WWE Old School Yard
WWE Legends House

The show would feature legends living under one roof.

- WWE for two new trademarks “WWE Supercharge,” and “Afterburn,” which was one of WWE’s syndicated shows that now only airs in international markets. It’s not clear what Supercharge would be for.

- WWE are hyping a 41 Man Battle Royal for the Oct 11th, Dallas, TX Smackdown taping. They’re calling it the largest Battle Royal in WWE history, and it will feature stars from Raw and Smackdown.

A special appearance by DX is also advertised.

- The Miz will be making an appearance on the CW Network’s “H8R”, a reality show where celebrities come face to face with people who hate them. For those with US IP addresses, here is the promo:

Yes the show is obviously a work like most reality shows.

- WWE are planning to move the website, TV studio, and Magazine department all under the one roof at Titan Towers. WWE’s website and TV studio had been spread out between two buildings about a mile away from WWE headquarters. The magazine was part of publishing on the second floor and creative was located on the fourth floor of WWE headquarters, down the hall from Vince McMahon’s office. They will all now occupy the first floor, which used to be Shane McMahon’s office space.

- Following Jeff Hardy’s recent court case, more details have been released surrounding the circumstances of his arrest. It turns out Hardy met with a fan in Florida named Thomas Ray Cruz in September 2009, who offered to illegally supply Jeff with painkillers.

Cruz later sent Jeff 262 hydrocodone pills in a Coffee jar by the post, which was intercepted and then allowed to continue to Hardy’s home so the police could catch him. When the sting was put in to action they also discovered all the other drugs in Hardy’s home.

Cruz was arrested in November, 2010 on charges of conspiracy to traffic in opium and two counts of trafficking in opium. He has a court date for November and is currently out on $50,000 bond.

Ironically if Cruz used a mail service that didn’t require a signature there may have been no way to prove Jeff had knowledge of the package.

- Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson will join actor and former wrestling personality Tiny “Zeus” Lister and actors Lorenzo Lamas and Rudy Reyes on a new reality show entitled “The Z Team”.

“The Z Team, relying on years of experience fighting bad guys on the big screen, in the ring and in real life take on drug dealers, the mob and dirty politicians; no case is too much for them.”

- From William Regal’s Twitter:
“Let me make this very clear.I have not once said that I’m going to retire.I’ve said I don’t know how long I have left.Big difference. Having had a decent brake from in ring I am feeling ready to go for a while.But the fact is that’s down to two things.One is how long my body holds out and two is if people want me to wrestle.”

- Maryse updated fans about her injury on Twitter:
“I met with my surgeon today and she said everything is perfect. There’s a little bit of fluid inside by the incision and where the repairs were done, but its totally normal apparently. The scar healed really good and there is no infection. So the surgery was a total success. I’m sooooooo happy!!!”

There are talks about a new era of WWE reality recently with the enthusiasm around the CM Punk character.

It has been speculated about the WWE-PG era end of 2011, which would be a major shift in the direction of the company.

A reader from the names of who Stephen had the following response to a recent article on the PG-WWE era (click to read)

Stephen wrote on his own perspective:

"The WWE PG era is lame, I have all but stopped watching WWE except rare these days."

I started me just WWF back in 1989, when I was a child, Rowdy Roddy Piper, etc. has the upper gimmicks by Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior at that age, and doing these savage for a few years, then Hogan, Warrior, Legion of doom and others leave and went to it what they called, the "new generation era"

The WWE new generation was time she sought that likes of Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, diesel, press Sycho SID and watch a whole series of other boring characters, WWF around this time, like many other people did, because there I was lifeless to end.

The WWE attitude era completely changed that and at 18, I myself fully returned again captured that, in the WWF, raw, Friday night after pub on Sky Sports was essential, it was crude oil, funny, unpredictable, and above all entertaining.

When the WWE attitude era began, gradually fade away, that I watched still WWE, as it still an edge to it had and though it was still good entertainment to the attitude-era plane, even up to around 2008.

Crap for children and women made what were given today in the WWE PG era is diluted, it is so boring as was the new generation-era story arcs are weak, the wrestler are unprincipled, is clowns like the Miz and Alberto del Rio World Championships won.

Actually, these two Muppets have would have been happy to get a run on the Intercontinental Championship in the new generation era as a really bad, there are also second generation professional wrestler things such as Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase and David Hart have they Smith always on TV due to the name of the band, entertainment could send you sleep in a few minutes were.

Think now, we have tried, a little edge again in the product of CM Punk and people all over the Internet to comparisons between the attitude era and the newly minted "WWE reality era" start I really?

Wishful thinking, if you ask me, as long as WWE itself as a PG product marketed it can only push the boundaries so far, which in reality so much not at all.

WWE reality era could appeal to the fans who missed the attitude era, but people who know them, it is only a weak attempt to be a half arsed compromise on the part of the WWE, lure young adults in just WWE, the attitude era fans shaking their heads. I want another WWE attitude era?

Actually at this point, which is answer No. just said, the most current WWE Superstars could not you take it off, they are too boring, there is no Steve Austin, the rock, degeneration X types more. "There are talented few enough in these types of characters mould resistance and I think it would be a complete disaster."

Summerslam is upon us and most people are likely to hinge their purchasing decision on John Cena vs. CM Punk in the Unification match. Last Monday, Punk delivered another riveting promo that was laced with the kind of information that you usually read about on the dirt sheets. Cena countered with his own brand of backstage info. It was kind of refreshing to see guys mention work rate and heel personas and defending the roster cuts and bringing up personal stories from the days of WWECW. It’s a theme, reality is, that the WWE has vaguely ventured into using in the past, but has never fully embraced. Punk seems to be the embodiment of a willingness to give that direction for their product a real try. Will it continue? I really don’t know, but I’m certainly going to enjoy it while it lasts and touch on it a great deal today while it’s a hot topic.

Edge vs. Matt Hardy back in ’05 was sort of a preview. I remember getting a small taste of what it might be like if the WWE really geared their entire product toward more realistic situations that were founded in some degree of truth. That type of stuff can be used to ignite entertaining television not just at the bottom of the second hour of Raw, but throughout the shows. Edge had always been missing something as a character until he had an affair with Lita and Hardy blabbered about it all over the internet. Finally, Edge turned a corner because he was stuck defending himself about a situation that – based on usual wrestling etiquette – had no business being aired out in public. It was REAL. And it WORKED. The rest is history.

In an age where just about everything is accessible to the media, I think taking a full turn onto Reality Street would do the WWE a lot of good. It starts with a guy like CM Punk who has enough pent up aggression and enough of a fan base to unleash many a personal tirade laced with backstage rumors – the kind of stuff that the part of the audience that I and most of the folks reading this represent will eat up. He’s the leader of the movement, but he’s just the beginning. He’s the first to really base a character around it, but he’s not the only one with a lot on his or her mind. Look at Beth Phoenix and Nattie Neidhart – they’ve given another little preview of what could happen if people were allowed to (controllably) get off their chest what has been building up inside them for months and years. Beth and Nattie, too, are voices of the voiceless. They are wrestlers; not models pretending to be wrestlers. It has to frustrate them that they’re ready and able to produce, but the WWE insists on bringing in stick figures and waiting for them to learn what Nattie and Beth already know how to do. Could we see this trend of “speaking your mind” trickle down into each division? This is the type of material that makes rivalries more engaging.

The “reality” trend on TV is not the furthest they can take this, though. Sure, I’m all for seeing the Reality era of the WWE on television and PPV, but isn’t it time that the WWE embraced all aspects of the fan experience? For all that they do well, they have long since missed the boat on one aspect of fandom that other sports and entertainment outlets knock out of the park: the media. ESPN is nothing more than a bunch of sports fanatics that got together and made a television network dedicated to nothing but talking about and broadcasting what they love. Long before that, the powers that be within the major sports entities for basketball, American football, soccer, tennis, golf, etc. knew that the media members had to be let in to do interviews and things of that sort so that they could gain greater exposure and, thus, have better ratings and make more money across the board. Now, in today’s society, it has reached the point where there are TV networks dedicated not just to certain leagues (the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, etc.) but even college conferences and ONE college team (Univ. of Texas). The bottom line has expanded infinitely with social media and the amount of coverage for sports and entertainment (like Hollywood actors and actresses) and has grown to unprecedented heights. It creates jobs and diehard fans and the leagues embrace most of it because it drives interest in their product.

Then, there’s the WWE. The image of the diehard wrestling fan is that of the “booger eater” who sits in his mom’s basement fantasizing about the divas and criticizing John Cena on his wrestling skills despite never having been in the wrestling ring. Who created that image? The WWE did, at least in part. Instead of embracing the most passionate part of their fan base, they mocked it into the ground. Despite the fact that they have quite a large wrestling media that writes and blogs about it every day just like sports beat writers do – only for no money in most cases – the WWE has not seemed to want much to do with that part of the audience. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an NFL owner mock ESPN for being a “dirt sheet.” They may get irritated about certain things they don’t want being public, but who the hell really cares when you’re making millions and billions of dollars every year in large part thanks to that same media that ensures that people pay attention to your product? Increased coverage thanks to diehard sports fans has driven sports like international soccer, NFL football, and NBA basketball to becoming more successful enterprises. Why does the WWE not seem to understand that they could have their product get a huge boost in exposure by dropping this illusionary veil that they try to pull over everyone’s eyes? Vince comes from an era where kayfabe – not letting on that wrestling was pre-determined sport heavy on the athletic entertainment in a similar light as figure skating or dancing - was king and he did a little bit of work toward tearing that down. However, his company is the only major sports and entertainment conglomerate that still doesn’t embrace its media.

The next step toward a reality era is to tear down the wall that separates the WWE from being able to be legitimately covered by its fan base. I don’t see any reason why the Wrestling Press should not attempt to gain more traction moving forward. It may seem silly, but something like the Teacher’s Lounge (under a different name) ought to be legitimately featured on a radio station dedicated to sports entertainment/pro-wrestling. LOP Magazine should be real. LOP and other top wrestling-related sites should not be looked at as “dirt sheets,” but legitimate print media outlets (i.e. in a more positive light). It couldn’t hurt to think bigger. LOP is anywhere from the 2nd to 5th ranked wrestling website on the World Wide Web. Viewers per day have frequently crept into the millions. We’re talking a lot of people. And it’s not as if we’re the booger eaters that we’re made out to be. There are two legitimate doctoral degrees on the column writing staff alone…and it’s just a hobby! As Hustle mentioned not too long ago in one of his columns, the wrestling fan and the members of the “media” that cover it should not have to feel bad about it. Young writers should be able to cut their teeth in forums like ours and others and then go on to journalism school with the goal to cover the WWE like Adam Schefter went to journalism school and is now one of the top 40 most influential non-NFL player/coach/owners in the National Football League. That shouldn’t be a pipe dream.

It won’t happen, though, unless the WWE stops being blind to the amount of extra exposure that they could gain from it. What is LOP, but a sports entertainment version of ESPN without the backing of the very “leagues” that it covers? Imagine the drop off in interest should the NFL pull the plug on ESPN or Yahoo Sports, disassociating with them and giving its writers and staff and fans that frequent those sites a bad name. Would that help the NFL? Absolutely not! It would do nothing but eliminate one of the very things that drive its popularity.

In the spirit of what we discussed today, I will be working on a joint venture with multiple other writers to bring you a legitimate piece of Wrestling Media material on a bi-weekly to monthly basis. It will be a top 10-25 that you, the wrestling media, can vote on. College football here in the States has an Associated Press that determines a top 25 ultimately used to help crown the two teams that play for the national championship. You will be part of the WWE Press and have the option to vote. We’ll send it directly to the WWE for the hell of it. The reality era is upon us...we may as well embrace it.

Summerslam Champions League Final

Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels in a Non-Sanctioned Street Fight at Summerslam 2002

“The two best ever in quite possibly the best match ever. Simply the best.” – Matt W.

“That match is the only match in the history of wrestling that I cried over.” – Andre S.

VS.

Bret Hart vs. The British Bulldog for the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam 1992

“Not only was it the only time the IC Championship main evented a PPV and is considered to be the greatest IC Championship match of all-time by a lot of people it also showed that Bret Hart had what it took to draw, carry a match and could be trusted to carry the company. It was a very important match on a lot of fronts.” – Lunchbox

“Great technical show, great finish, great crowd/ unique Venue, magnitude of IC being the Main Event, launch of Bret into Main Event, no gimmick needed” – Westuva07

Well, I suppose it was fitting that the two matches that I selected last year as the first and second best bouts in Summerslam history would end up facing each other in the final. I think that pretty much goes to show that the consensus considers these two matches the cream of the crop from the summer classic. Personally, I did not vote in this round and relegated myself to being the tiebreaker. Last year, though, I stated that although Bret Hart was Mr. Summerslam (and you backed that up with your votes of so many of his matches), the best match in Summerslam history belonged to Shawn Michaels and Triple H. I will say, though, that there was never a more brilliant performance at a Summerslam than Bret’s in 1992. Davey Boy Smith was not a good worker back then. Bret, for nearly 30-minutes, basically told the Bulldog where to go and what to do and when to do it. The fact that this match was so good and is still so well-received today is a huge testament to the Hitman’s skills. However, when you look at HBK vs. HHH, you’re dealing with a special performance that really could not have been any better – in my opinion. HBK’s return from injury brought about a lot of emotion from yours truly, mainly that of concern for his well-being while he was attempting some of the moves that he pulled off so gracefully. I think it’s a 5-star performance, which of course is a rarity.

The results are in…

With 59% of the votes, the winner of the Summerslam Champions League to determine the greatest match in Summerslam history is….

HBK vs. Triple H

- According to PWInsider.com CM Punk is looking to take some time off when his contract expires. He is said to be burned out from being on the road for 5 years straight.

It’s unsure whether this will be a full on departure. It all depends on how WWE takes it.

- The Night of Champions PPV appears to have been scrapped. It has been removed from the online schedule. It’s unsure what it will be replaced with or if it’s just being reshuffled to a different date.

- John Miller of Oxygen’s “Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too” reality show noted on Twitter:
“11 more days till I go on a 4 day tour with WWE! I’m going to get a job and sign hopefully sign a contract, wish me luck everyone!!! Im booked for WWE Pay Per View in Tampa on May 1st. Then I will be in Miami,Fl May 2nd for Monday Night Raw then May 3rd Orlando for smackdown.”

- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is live tonight at Raw and is “a very special announcement”.

- Trish Stratus, Undertaker, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Jim Ross, Snooki and Steve Austin were all trending terms last night on Twitter.

- Randy Orton responded to Kurt Angle over Angle’s comments about the Ankle Lock being used on Wrestlemania:

Everythings been done before as far as ‘moves’ go in the sports entertainment. I want to thank SCSA for the ‘Thesz Press’.

And I know for a fact that SCSA got the ‘Thesz Press’ from Dutch Mantel.

Point being, instead of taking offense to someone using your move, consider it a sign of respect.

Btw does anyone know what Ken Shamrocks finish was? I believe Jack Swagger used ankle lock outta respect for Ken?

- There is a wrestling wives reality show in the works featuring Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman (Booker T’s wife), Stacy Carter (Jerry Lawler’s ex-wife/ Kizarny’s current wife) and Jackie Haas (Charlie Haas’ wife).

It is being produced for VH1.

The format for the return of Tough Enough will have a more "reality style" than previous seasons, which ironically means much more phony drama and scripted segments.

The contestants will still reside in a house, but like other shows cell phones and computers were taken away on arrival to make them isolated from the outside world. The internal dramas between housemates will be hammed up.

Although Tough Enough is often credited with helping to create the reality genre and was the inspiration for shows like The Ultimate Fighter, this time around it's said to be aiming for a more generalized auidence. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter the show is being described as more "Hogan Knows Best" than "Ultimate Fighter."
