Some news on Angle. Some bad, some good:

ource: The Wrestling Observer

Kurt Angle is back with his wife Karen.

Angle is not going to rehab, but is going to see a doctor on pain management.

Until reaching a deal with TNA, Angle was scheduled to be paid by WWE until February 25, 2007.

It's good that he got back with his wife, but he needs to actually heal his body instead of just making it hurt less.

Yea, the ME was lame. But I enjoyed King Booker & Crew beating the sh!t out of Cena. :D At the end of the show Edge used his rematch clause and it is going to be on RAW next week in a steel cage match. Knowing that the major title will not change hands on RAW unless the champ screwed himself up like RVD did. I definately see Cena retaining there. But the question is: with Edge used his rematch clause, who will face Cena at CS? We all know that it is going to be a heel, but both Orton and Umaga are busy with their feuds. So who will face Cena at CS?

That was okay, I would have enjoyed it more if Booker kept his shoe on. (I really hate bare feet, Umaga kind of bugs me because of this) As for Cena's next feud, I guess it could be anyone. Someone could return from abscence to challenge him, or somebody will turn heel and go after him.

Probably wrestled her back.

Well he works harder in 1 hour than most wrestlers do in a month.

Been meaning to post this for the last couple of days, this is what I found out about our footage questions here:

I haven't heard how they feel. I know that TNA likes to put their own stuff
on YouTube so I would stay away from that. Most Japanese groups don't care.

So that's from Dave Scherer of PWInsider, who is most definitely in the know. So our commandments look like this:

1) Thou shalt not post, nor make requests, for WWE footage

2) Thou shalt not post, nor make requests, for TNA footage

3) Thou may post, or make requests for Japanese footage, provided it is coming from a reputable, non-pirate site, and the footage is not commercially available.

4) Thou shalt not post, nor make requests, for the footage of indy companies who are selling DVD's or tapes of their shows in the mass market (this includes ROH) as it is a potential litigious issue for NG, if fans or employees of those organizations come here and check this topic out. You may direct someone to the sites of those companies, and any footage those sites put up as a preview, sample, or whatever, is fair game, SO LONG AS YOU ARE LINKING DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY SITE.

5) Thou shalt not FUCK with the Dudley Boys!

I just couldn't resist doing number 5...ECW report card...I'm guessing probably tommorow? I'm pretty wiped tonight, and I'd like to give the matches and segments the thought and time they deserve.

So, how about Hardcore Holly, huh? After what he's been through tonight, I'd say he's already pretty well-accepted into ECW.

He's absolutely an ECW guy in my eyes after what he went through tonight. That was the end of RVD/Holly I'd say, and if that wasn't the plan going in, then it should be, that was as good as just about anything the old ECW ever put on and both those guys deserve huge credit. Holly is indeed Hardcore, but I have to wonder if that performance won't in fact turn Holly babyface, as I just can't see a real ECW crowd wanting to boo him anymore after that. I sure as shit don't.

So Holly and RVD had a good match then? I hope wwe adds it to teh site so I can watch it.

I missed ECW can I have a recap?

I've missed the last 6 months of wrestling, damnit ! However I am very up to date on my dragon gate wrestling. . .

It wasn't just a good match... Here's what happened. A table was set up on the outside and Holly suplexed Van Dam off of the apron and they both went through the table, Holly's back was cut open by the table (a metal part of the table) and continued for about ten minutes, with a gash in his back. The man even took some more bumps even with his back cut open...

Even if you've never liked Holly, you had to respect him after that.

I've known Holly was a tough SOB. He had his arm broken by Angle when he hit Holly with a moonsault and continued the match for a bit longer. Not only that but he was able to keep his job after such horrid gimmicks like sparky plug and one of the new midnight express guys. Also Mick wrote in his book about Holly's toughness (and love of Elvis music) and that Holly is a stiff worker in the ring.

So yeah I am not surprised that Holly is re-affirming that he is indeed a badass.

I've always kinda liked Holly myself, for some reason. I always thought he was underrated/underappreciated. I guess ECW's a good place for him to get noticed, now.

Well it seems of one of the Bashams is out for a while

Danny Bashman, who had been working with "brother" Doug as Paul Heyman's personal security guards, suffered a torn biceps a few weeks back. Bashman had surgery, and may be out of action until April, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. That could be a release waiting to happen.

Derrick Neikirk has replaced Danny Bashman in Heyman's security.

Not entirely sure if this is true or not, but I'm sure if its true Avie will mention it at some point.

; The Dudleyz Boys suck! Just kidding.... Please don't kill me Avie.

Holly needed 24 stitches for his back. You can read the full article about it over at wwe.com right here

Angle is going to seriously regret going to TNA.

They are and will forever be second rate to the WWE.

Couple of Smackdown news to report:

The Teddy Long announcement that was hyped on the WWE website earlier today turned out to be a storyline deal where MVP has officially signed with the Smackdown brand.

And with a new superstar comes the release of another one...

WWE has announced that Kid Kash, who was working as one half of the Pitbulls tag team, has been released from the company.

Hmm, I wonder where that puts Jamie Noble. I was looking forward to a TLC match from him and the other tag teams too.

Damn, You beat me to it. Why the hell did they release Kid Kash?! Him and Noble were doing a great job as a tag team and then BAM! Kid Kash gets released. Maybe Jamie Noble will return to the Cruiserweight Title picture. Or maybe WWE will make him team with Jimmy Wang Yang and reunite the Jung Dragons. If the Jung Dragons reunion were to happen, Shannon Moore should go back to SmackDown and team with Gregory Helms again to reunite 3 Count and recreate the 3 Count/Jung Dragons feud during the dying days of WCW. With Kid Kash gone, Who will be the next person that gets released by WWE?

You were saying a lot of cool things (if they were to happen) until you mentioned 3 count... Weren't they the ones with the "boy band" gimmick in WCW? I would like seeing Moore and Helms reunite but as a comlpetely different tag team..

And a bit of Smackdown spoilers.... Jimma Yang, was actually over with the crowd and supposedly he did some cool moves in his debut match (with his new gimminck anyways) but... he ended up jobbing... To Sylvan.... All the promos so he could job? What the fuck's that all about?

As for Kid Kash, I don't why they would release him, he and Noble were really great together and they could put on some great matces against London and Kendrick, but as usual the E had to put an end to something good.

ECW reveiw or WE RIOT!

I know that 3 Count was a silly gimmick but their Three-Way Tag Team Ladder Match against the Jung Dragons & Jamie Noble & Evan Karagias at Starrcade 2000 was one of WCW's best matches.

I don't recall watchng that one, but if you say its good then I believe and I'm going to look for it...

Kid Kash released
Sept. 27, 2006

WWE has come to terms on the release of David Cash (Kid Kash) as of today, September 27. We wish David the best in all future endeavors.

WOOOOOO KID KASH RELEASED YEA!!!!!!!!! NO MORE PITBULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf?! Why did they release Kash? This makes no sense as he and Noble were gaining monentum as a team and besides that he is a phenominal worker. WWE is stupid in firing him.

Kid Kash was a good guy, wonder why he was released...

That RVD vs Hardcore Holly match was great! I remember Hardcore Holly kicking ass through injury, but that seemed like alot. And for that matter, whatever happend to Crash Holly? (If that was his name, I forget...) Anyone remember that guy?

... Crash Holly died a in 2003 from an overdose of painkillers and alcohol. He was 32 at the time.

Oh, it's very true. I had been hearing for the last couple of weeks that one of the Bashams was working house shows in a team with Neikirk under the hood. For those not aware, Derek Neikirk and Ryan "Roughhouse" O'Reilly are two DSW talents that have been working the FBI on a lot of ECW house shows. O'Reilly recently violated the Wellness Policy, and has been suspended, so that's why I'd assumed Neikirk was working with Basham, but I didn't know where the other one went. So this explains it.

24 Hail Heymans starting now or you shall face me in a Stairway to Hell match.

ECW Report Card in a couple of minutes.

Report Card for ECW on Sci FI 9/26

This report card dedicated to the memory of Dennis Weilamann, my uncle. Who passed away last Friday after a battle with cancer, thanks for always supporting me Uncle Denny, this one is for you.

Jim Ross segment: Well, we open up with the obligatory WWE person on ECW segment, but it was nice to have Good Ol' JR out there, and his comparison between ECW and Mid-South was high praise. Striker coming out to get heat on him was absolutely great stuff. Also Sandman finally nailing the little shit was also great for a pop from the crowd, and fun to watch on TV. This is how to use a WWE personality, in a way that helps get the ECW guys over. Grade: A

Extreme Strip Poker announcement: I just want to comment on how fucking stupid this is. There is no way you're going to see booby on Sci Fi, this is how you counter program a UFC special that is going to have real fighting? Wouldn't it be smarter to explain the situation to Sci Fi, see if they'll give you more time, and run something like a "Clash of the Champions" but for the ECW guys that night? I guess I just don't know what I'm talking about, because Vince so obviously knows what his fans want more then I do. No grade, just wanted to bitch about that.

Bob Holly promo: I like that Holly is being portrayed as kicking ass and taking names, and it was a good way to show the impetus for the very personal nature of the match this week. They do a great job every week with these video packages. Grade: A

RVD over Bob Holly: I think I pretty well covered this earlier, as have some other folks. Holly is tough as hell for taking this sort of stuff, with all the injuries he's had, and he could have easily and understandably called for the finish and ended it early, but he didn't, he went through and that to me is as ECW as it gets. I think the match was also a lot better for the fact that Holly was allowed to control the bout, and Van Dam got in a few really good shots, but was not allowed to go hog wild and blow spots. Started slow, got hot, sick as hell bump, another really wicked shot when the chair was thrown into RVD's face. Best damn TV match the new ECW has had so far in my opinion, if you get an oppurtunity, check this sucker out. Grade: A+

CM Punk promo: Punk is golden on the mic, he always comes off like a top guy in the confidence and prescence he shows when given a chance to speak. Knox came back and delivered his line, and Punk was great in not backing down, despite the fact that Knox is bigger then him. Hopefully Knox shows some more personality next time, as this is a big chance for him to prove himself. Grade: A-

Francine and Ariel fight to a no contest, Extreme Catfight: Firstly, ECW DID do a match like this at least once, between Francine and Beulah, just as a defense for those who'd go "this is too WWE" well...this was something ECW did too. Ariel's promo didn't really do much for me, I think the Ariel and Kevin Thorne characters work best when they're doing dark, atmospheric promos, and if they're out in the ring, they need to shut up because promos like this don't do anything for their character mystique. As per the match? Let's face it, you either like two girls rolling around on top of each other while Joey Styles screams "CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT!!" or you don't. This was fine for what it was, and it was an interesting way to keep the Balls/Thorne issue hot as well. I like this new dimension, and look forward to the inevitable mixed tag this should create. Grade: B+

Sandman package: Love these things, because it makes the guys seem like main eventers to folks that may not be familiar with their careers. Grade: A+

Paul Heyman and Big Show segment: Considering how much damage was done to Big Show's rep with the whole Vince's bloody head up his ass thing, it was important to make Show come off strong in everything he did here. Show proved he was a bad ass by saying he wanted the cane legal, and no bullshit interference.

Rene Dupree promo: Ok...work or get the fuck off my TV. His promos are just same old same old now, and while I think Dupree has some real upside, and I understand they want to make him seem important, he's basically doing the same segment every week, and it's getting way past stale now. Grade: D-

Big Show over Sandman via pinfall: They booked this one very smart. Show took a shit load of cane shots (and from everything I've heard, that is not, NOT fun!) and then powered back. I did get a bit scared when Show put Sandman in the clutch saying "please don't tap, please don't tap" thankfully that didn't happen, they gave Show the clean win, but they made sure that it took all three of his best moves to put Sandman down, and Striker interfered in stealing the cane to put back any heat that might have been lost from his getting caned earlier back into the feud. Grade A

Overall: Really enjoyable show, and just further proof that the ECW brand is doing a lot more with only one hour then the other two WWE brands can do with two. Very fun stuff top to bottom, and it's nice that they didn't try to cram all the top stars onto the show, and it's also great to see that the crowds are getting more responsive to what's on the shows. Maybe Vince can take some notes from ECW on how to get shit over...wait, scratch that, if Vince figures out it's better then RAW, he'll hobble it...never mind. Grade: A

That's it for this week guys, hope you found it worth the wait.

Thanks for reading as always, this report card brought to you by aviewaskewed, Professor of Extreme Studies. This report card delivered in the name of the Funker, The Sabu, and the Holy Heyman.

He's coming....

sorry for the double post but when I went to the live wrestling match with DuDe of DuDes, the pitbulls lost, and also they should never have title matches in live non-televised events, because no one will know that they're the new champion. again sorry for the double post.
