Matt Hardy goes off the deep end, more

  • Well Matt Hardy posted what many were calling a suicide "note" in video form that turned out to be a rib and has upset his sister-in-law among others. Police were called not only to Matt's place of residence but also to brother Jeff to perform a welfare check after receiving over 50 calls to their emergency line.
  • Hardy recently claimed that ghosts were to blame for his bizarre behavior and then claimed to have been visited by angels and that he was now addiction free. This latest stunt from the troubled grappler shows a man still haunted by his demons and in search of attention. Unfortunately the attention he is getting from these antics in negative attention and will not help him in the long run. Hardy is soon to become another wrestling tragedy unless something is done to help him with his issues.
  • The recent article about Ric Flair that outlined his life outisde wrestling that many inside wrestling already knew seems to have irritated the former World Champion to the point that he is threatening to sue the journalist who wrote the article. Shane Ryan, who penned the article that laments Flair and his money woes, marital woes and alleges that Flair suffers from a heart condition due to years of alcohol excess, is standing by his article that was based mainly on public record documents. Flair seems to be most upset over the allegations that he suffers from Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy caused by years of alcohol abuse.
  • Kevin Nash was pulled from recent WWE work and work in Canada due to reported medical issues and things should progress once he is cleared. It could be that he sucks, is overrated and no one gives a whopping shit about him any longer.
  • Sin Cara is not Sin Cara...so there you go.
  • I saw the "latest" news on the Undertaker and his newly shaved dome and that article said that yes indeed it was true, he had cut his hair. And people pay for that stuff...
  • Bruno Sammartino, who had heart valve replacement earlier this summer, is said to be recovering well. Sammartino refused pain killers before, during and after this surgery so anyone really want to debate who the baddest man on the planet may be?
  • Friend of the show Scott Ferenczi, one of the best photographers wrestling has seen, is selling over 500 autographed 8x10 photos for $1500 which is a kick-ass price. I have a number of his photos in my collection both autographed and not and I have seen the ones he is selling and they are worth more than what he is asking.
  • I really wish other sites would stop reporting that former WCW World Champion David Arquette is going to be on Dancing with the Stars. To start off with how annoying this is, Arquette was never a "World Champion" because WCW had, in all honesty, stopped being a wrestling company, it was a farce. Calling Arquette a "champion" of anything at this stage of the game is pointedly ignorant.
  • From the not news department, Bruiser Bedlam has been linked to another murder in Canada.
  • Sarita, long of Impact Wrestling, will appear in the NBC special "Children of 9/11" that will air on Labor Day.
  • Friend of the show Jerry Wilson will return to the Barthlomew County Fairgrounds 4H building this Saturday with his Hoosier Pro Wrestling. For over 10 years HPW has been providing quality wrestling entertainment for Indiana fans. If you are in the Columbus, IN area this weekend be sure to check out HPW it is the best wrestling since Bruiser.
  • Another note on Matt Hardy, headlines abound that say "what did Matt Hardy do when police knocked on his door?" Well the obvious would be to tell Reby to "flush that shit."
  • In "duh" news of the day, some WWE performers labeled Hardy pathetic in response to the death video. Well duh...
  • MVP is said to be playing a new character, DUD.
  • Cookie is gone from Impact Wrestling if anyone cares...

Matt Hardy believes in ghosts, Hogan porn and more

  • A lot of weirdness coming from the Matt Hardy issues of the past week. Hardy crashed his Corvette into a tree and was arrested for DUI. Police said that Hardy was under the influence of an intoxicant, not necessarily alcohol, after Hardy claimed he was not drunk. Hardy posted some bizarre videos post-arrest and then was taken to the hospital on Wednesday after falling down some stairs in his home. There are reports that say Hardy went on a tirade and started destroying his house before the accident happened. 
  • Reby Sky, the girlfriend of Hardy, seems to be coming under attack by some fans of the grappler almost blaming her for getting Hardy drunk, which was not the case. Sky lashed back at her Twitter attacker saying that Hardy would not be alive if not for her. This recent series of events have left Sky exhausted, heartbroken and scared among other things.
  • Still on Hardy, there are a number of friends and family members who are worried about the mental state of the former WWE and Impact Wrestling star. There is a stronger movement to get Hardy to enter into a treatment program to deal with his addiction problems but there is no indication at this point he will be going. Brother Jeff is reportedly starting back for Impact Wrestling this week and has for the most part been strangely silent over this whole affair.
  • Cris Cyborg, who was rumored to be trying to get a deal with the WWE if she was unable to secure a new contract with Strikeforce re-signed with the MMA group.
  • Mick Foley and his return to the WWE is all but ink drying on the contract at this point.
  • From the no one cares news department, Todd Grisham is now on the ESPN team.
  • From the eeewww but interesting news room, Third Degree Films is releasing an adult video parody based on "Hogan Knows Best."
  • There seems to be an outpouring of disdain from veteran wrestlers about how new comers are behaving in the locker room. A major breech in etiquette is not shaking hands and introducing yourself to everyone in the back. I have been on both sides of this and have felt the wrath of some well respected veterans for not taking a moment to shake hands and introduce myself even if they will never remember who I am. My reluctance to shake hands is a ridiculous one because I simply do not like to shake hands with someone who does a halfhearted attempt to do so or has a limp wrist shake which is prominent in most locker rooms. That is not because they cannot shake with a firm grip but because they are used to shaking so many hands in such a quick time. See how ridiculous my argument is for not wanting to shake hands as it is for some of the vets to be pissed because the newbies are not doing so?
  • Recent cancellations of Monday Smackdown shows that have a lot of people talking are due to stars from both shows appearing on RAW and there is little more to it than that.
  • The Young Bucks are back in ROH but was there ever any doubt that is where they would end up?
  • From the gossip files, Mickie Knuckles is rumored to be involved in the IWA Mid-South upcoming King of the Death Match tournament in September. Many are saying this will not happen after her treatment by Ian Rotten but according to the new owners of the promotion she is welcome back and Ian will have nothing to due with the group. As an aside Ian Rotten is allegedly slated to appear as the commissioner at some point. Only time will tell...
  • The Federal Government is cracking down on web providers who stream sporting PPVs illegally. 
  • The recently released Top 50 Incidents in WWE History is another one to pass by and leave on the shelf.
  • The Rock is said to be involved with an upcoming NBC venture that will be a drama related to pro wrestling.
  • Jeff Katz must be on the things that wreck a wrestling career because he is fronting the Wrestling Revolution promotion with Colt Cabana, Luther and now Ken Doane as "talent." Well hell, if they are talent maybe he can hire me as a writer...wait.
  • Friends of the show K&S WrestleFest are acquiring some heavy hitters for their Diva Reunion to take place in New Jersey. Lined up so far are Torrie Wilson, Stacy Carter, friend of the show Chyna, Rockin' Robin, Terri "Ain't got no herpes" Runnels, Debra, Wendi Richter and others.
  • Also from the soon to be failed upcoming wrestling promotions, Billy Corgan has "signed" Raven along with Harry Smith and Teddy Hart.
  • And finally, just to add to the craziness that is Matt Hardy, he is blaming ghosts for his recent episodes. Well, who you gonna' call?
