Goldturd returning, Gail Kim still clucking, Foley day job and more

  • Bill Goldberg says he is planning on a return to wrestling before the end of the year which begs a better question than where he is going and that is why?
  • Gail Kim is making a lot of noise over her departure from the WWE arguing back and forth as to whether she quit or was fired and why the WWE is holding her to the remainder of her contract, more the non-compete clause than anything, especially after they "could not find a constructive way to use her abilities." Well, at least she will eat well being engaged to Chef of the Celebrities Robert Irvine.
  • I saw a recent video of Mick Foley doing stand-up comedy and all I can say about that is, I hope he does another book or the WWE signs him, comedy is not his thing. Mick Foley is to comedy what Louie Anderson is to being straight.
  • In news that is not news Melina is ticked over a comment Beth Phoenix made about "no more splits" which could be the reason the WWE cut Melina to start with, all the title belt rings had finally fallen out.
  • For all of those who are heartbroken over the "early" retirement of Edge due to his neck injury and think his career was cut short, Edge has gone on record that he would have been leaving the ring after WrestleMania 28 anyway.
  • Jimmy Lennon was one of the most prolific ring announcers in the history of pro wrestling but damn Jimmy Lennon Jr. just sucks ass water.
  • DH Smith, who was recently cut by the WWE, has revealed his post WWE plans that include going to Japan. Guess marrying deeper into a family and dying young due to drug abuse is not on his agenda just yet.
  • I have extended an open invitation to the new owners of the IWA Mid-South promotion to come on "And Then The Bell Rings" to discuss the direction of the group now that Ian Rotten is no longer part of the show. King of the Death Match shows have been announced for September in Bellevue, Illinois which is one of the only facilities that will allow those kind of matches. I am not sure when Bellevue, Illinois became part of the Mid-South but then again Examiner.com has ruled Ohio part of the Mid-Atlantic so maybe there is some sort of global shift I am unaware of.
  • Dixie Carter is said to be thrilled about Sting's new look and how he has reinvented himself. Dark Journey anyone?
  • Want to say "Thank You" again to The Tony Myers for one of the most talked about interviews in quite some time. The Tony Myers The Interview was so big it had to be done in two parts and is available on this site. A lot of feedback from those in and out of the business has made this one a close second to the Ian Rotten "And Then The Bell Rings" which will appear here in the coming weeks.
  • A little controversy regarding Colt Cabana and whether or not he worked another dark match for RAW, who cares he is a glorified JOBBER anyway. 
  • Yes, I continue to live in my world of relative obscurity but that is okay...
  • Zach Ryders Internet Championship belt looks great, congrats to Wildcat Belts but honestly, why the fuck does wrestling need an Internet Championship? 
  • I am about half-way through the Brock Lesnar book "Death Clutch" and it is an interesting read. I would recommend you pick up a copy if you have not already.
  • Some other books I would add to my library if I did not already have them (which means you my dear "Hi Welcome to Wal-Mart" greeter reader need to get) would be Dutch Mantell's books and also the new tome from Jerry Jarrett as well as the Stan Hansen book.
  • Eight people in the FCW (under)developmental system have been cut so good luck to them.
  • The NWA Legends convention was this past weekend and from all indications it was the place to be. I plan on attending the show next year with Ox Baker which should be interesting.
  • Friend of the show Jerry Wilson and his Hoosier Pro Wrestling based in Columbus, Indiana continue to present some of the best indie wrestling around the Mid-West. This past Saturday "Diceman" Ronnie Vegas defeated former partner TJ Powers in a great match. The show included Flash Flanagan and Brian Beech, two of the most underrated workers in the business.
