That's who I meant actually. Honestly watching them wrestle was painful. Their gimmick was over for about 3 weeks and it all went downhill from there. I marked out when they split though - the last I heard the rest of them were selling hotdogs outside the arenas :D

Here some bad news for all you Undertaker fans: The Undertaker has suffered a torn bicep. The injury occurred before the Backlash PPV, and worked thru the injury.
The injury is being considered very serious, because it appears his muscle tore completely off his bone. Undertaker has seen Dr. James Andrews Last Monday [ April 30th. ]. The Undertaker is set to be out for NINE months upto One Year.

Randy Orton def. Shawn Michaels;

Quote:

A wounded and concussed Shawn Michaels gave it his best effort at Judgment Day before collapsing in the ring. Due to the collapse, referee Marty Elias was forced to stop the match and award the victory to Randy Orton.

WWE’s Dr. Ferdinand Rios forbade Shawn from competing. But he didn’t listen, as when Orton demanded to be announced as the winner by forfeit, a visibly woozy Michaels stumbled his way to ringside.

Unfortunately, even the heart of a champion and spirit of a warrior that HBK possesses wasn’t enough on this night. Orton wisely and opportunistically focused his attack on Michaels’ head, knocking him silly seconds into the bout. Finally, after a few minutes of pounding, referee Marty Elias stopped the match after Shawn tried to attempt Sweet Chin Music but simply fell flat on his back.

With a sadistic smirk, Orton added insult to injury by dropping HBK with a post-match RKO before WWE’s medical team and even HBK’s wife Rebecca rushed to the ring to check on the fallen Showstopper. The Legend Killer simply smirked and left the ring as Michaels was loaded onto a stretcher and wheeled out with a visibly upset Rebecca right by his side.

Although it was under dubious circumstances, the Legend Killer claimed another victim at Judgment Day. Shawn Michaels gallantly gave it his all, but after another brutal beating, only time will tell whether he will ever be the same again.
From WWE.com.

The Shawn Michaels story line from last night is due him suffered a knee injury and is rumored to be very serious so he needed some time off WWE TV.

1pm update:
Quote:

According to Dr. Rios, HBK will have to be out of action for an undetermined amount of time due to the concussions. Shawn Michaels has battled back from numerous injuries before, including a severe back injury that cost him four years and nearly ended his career….but this is different. The brain is perhaps the most vital part of a sports-entertainers body, and if brain function is impaired, a Superstar could put himself into a dangerous position by stepping back into the ring.

HBK may never be 100 percent again, and speculation is rampant that this may be the straw that finally breaks the proverbial camel’s back. Let’s hope that the events of the past few weeks didn’t kill the legend of Shawn Michaels once and for all.
Update from WWE.com.

Also although not mentioned on WWE.com, Mark Canterbury (aka Henry O. Godwinn), was released earlier this week.

Two weeks ago Shelly Martinez (a/k/a Ariel) was released from WWE. The reason why backstage was that she didn’t have the “right look”. This is Vince’s nice way of saying “you’re not pretty enough”.

Vince was negative on Martinez from the very start, but was persuaded by Heyman to bring her up last year. Vince never understood the idea of goth characters and likes divas with the “model” look. With Heyman gone from the company Martinez had very little support backstage.

Some rumors circulated that she was released over an incident with Batista, however these are apparently false.

With the draft lottery coming up on June 11, here are some names that may be changing brands. There has been talk of Chris Benoit either moving to Smackdown or ECW. William Regal moving to Raw is a possibility, as he is friends with Triple H and wants to do singles, and move away from tag team competition. There has been discussions of moving Mr. Kennedy to Raw, but his logical next feud would be with Edge when he returns to action. Booker T moving to Raw also makes sense with the Smackdown roster strong on the heel side.

HBK vowed to still work the Judgment Day PPV against Randy Orton, but made the decision his knee was injured too seriously and suggested WWE script an injury angle to explain why he couldn't wrestle.

WWE is hopeful that Shawn Michaels will be able to return back in time for the Survivor Series, marking the 10th anniversary of the famous Michaels vs. Bret Hart screw job double cross.

With all the recent injuries, there have been more talks internally about bringing back Chris Jericho.

Team 3-D is more likely than not to finish their careers in WWE. They are not rushing back to WWE just yet. But Devon and Bubba Ray are certainly for it. Devon is really pushing for the team to return even if he has to go as a singles wrestler for a short while.

The Cena vs Khali match was a little bit of a let down. I was expecting them to go go all round the arena. I can remember a Mankind matchup like that which was awesome when they were round the back using anything they could pickup on eachother (can't remember who his opponent was). But maybe they've stopped that now.

The FU off the crane was pretty good. Would've been better if it was onto that Nascar though. ;)

The pudding match was pointless but I'm not complaining.:naughty:

I'm interested in seeing where this McMahon mental breakdown goes.

You may think that the John Cena VS The Great Khali was bad on Sunday Night be the is having knee problems right now and the WWE need him to work through the pain until after June 11th.

The Raw main event Superstars are having problems with some part of their body { Hunter and HBK and so on ) or the WWE need them to move to Smackdown { Edge ) so they cant give Khali time off untill they move some superstars from Smackdown & ECW onto Raw this Monday. I think the WWE may move CM Punk & Batista to Raw.

Because it's a Television Show, it's not real life...This is admittedly an extreme storyline, nobody in wrestling history that I can remember has ever been "killed off" in a storyline before. There were a few dodgy moments revolving around death (Big Boss Man stealing Big Show's father's coffin, that was sick but comical at the same time) but I dont ever remember someone supposedly dying.

My guess is they wanted to kill off the "Mr McMahon" character and this will end up being a "whodunit?" storyline resulting in everyone's favourite Irishman being the prime suspect :D:p:

I'm kidding about that last part of course ;)

On a separate note: Kennedy on Raw! Woo! It's about time he gets to the main stage.

Smackdown can say what it wants about it being the better brand, but it sucks horribly and right now I actually prefer ECW over Smackdown. Once Kennedy recovers from his injury (probably about a month to go) Raw is gonna explode.

I'm sorry? SM being considered the better brand???

I agree with what you say about Mr Kennedy..........Kennedy - he'll be holding gold before the year is out.

Due tp the late Mr. McMahon ( ? ) limo blowing up on Raw this past Monday. WWE officials have announced that they have postphone a Supplemental Daft on Wednesday. Look for additional Superstars from Raw, SmackDown and ECW to switch brands and find new homes. The new date for a Supplemental Daft is Sunday at 5pm. All the details will appear on this page from Sunday at 5pm.
News from WWE.com.

Aye, I remember quite a few times where Michael Cole and JBL would say how Smackdown is the superior brand and such and I always shook my head in that silent "I cant believe you buy that crap" way that I've mastered ;)

Smackdown only has a handful of superstars worth watching, yet they have the biggest roster.

Edge, MVP, London and Kendrick, Jimmy Wang Yang (his angle is pathetic but his in ring skills are amazing), JBL on the mic, Finlay and maybe Chavo and Matt Hardy are really the only ones with any talent on that roster, and aside from Edge, MVP and on a rare occasion Finlay, the rest are midcard jobbers most of the time (London and Kendrick's title reign excluded of course)

Looking at the draft I cant help but wonder if maybe the WWE are going to bury Smackdown completely. The ratings in the States have been declining for Smackdown in recent months, and when you look at the Draft and who moved from Smackdown and who moved to Smackdown, you can't help but wonder if maybe its a bad sign for Smackdown.

Kennedy -> RAW
Booker -> RAW
Benoit -> ECW
Boogeyman -> ECW (I'm still scratching my head over that but he's a physical guy, maybe it will work out well for him)

Thats 3 huge names heading out of the brand, now look at who's heading in:

Khali -> Smackdown
Ric Flair -> Smackdown
Torrie -> Smackdown

A guy who cant wrestle, a guy who really is past his prime (though I am a huge Ric Flair fan, really, I do think he should call it a day) and a Diva who can't wrestle.

It really does look to me like Smackdown's being buried, but there's still some considerable talent left over there as far as crowd draws, like Taker, Batista and Kane, so maybe once this supplemental draft takes place it may look a little more lively for Smackdown, but right now Raw's looking sh*t hot with the additions of Kennedy, Lashley, Booker and maybe even Snitsky as a new monster heel.

As for Kennedy holding gold by the end of the year, I'm hoping for a lot sooner really, he's phenominal, both in the ring and on the mic. I marked out so badly when he did the Green Bay Plunge on Hornswoggle from the ladder, a classic comedic moment! I hope for as much from Kennedy as I do from Orton.

Orton, I consider truly to be one of the potential greats, but he needs to get his act together and stop all the backstage drama, but that's a story for another time.

Wednesday WWE News Round-up:

-I have got info on how WWE taped the exploding limo footage, WWE had a team of professional stunts from Zenith Pyrotechnology heading up the operation.

Permits to produce the stunt was acquired a week ago which made for great timing considering The Sopranos ended on Sunday with what many people consider an unsatisfying finale according to Andy Kratz who was involved with the stunt.

With the beauty of video editing, WWE managed to combine the footage taped on Saturday and Sunday as well as the live feed into one dramatic scene. If you look closely, you will notice that while Vince is walking towards the limo, there is no water next to the car on the floor while once the shot was cut from a different angle you can notice water on the floor.

The scene was then cut to the pre-taped segment once the angle was switched, with one take of Mr. McMahon coming in and closing the door and one take from the exact angle the limo exploding.

Death Angle

On June 25th the WWE announced Benoit and his family to be dead, but it has been confirmed this is part of the 'murder' storyline that has also taken Mr. McMahon's "life".
This is getting rather sick now - please WWE stop it.

That's BS - wwe.com has removed all references to Vince's "death", they wouldn't have done that if it was a work.

On June 25, 2007, WWE.com reported that Benoit and his family were found dead in their Atlanta home and that police were investigating the situation.

It is possible this is just a wrestling angle. It has been neither confirmed or denied.

He truely was one of the wrestlers who gave a load of time to the fans and loved what he did so much.

I have just read this sad news on WWE.com about Chris Benoit and his family. I have been thinking about it: 1. I think Benoit and his family has been unwell all weekend and that how Benoit did not turn up for work on Sunday for the PPV. and 2. I see Benoit was found dead in his new house I think it something to do with the Gas in that new house.

Unfortunatly, my friend, you are wrong.

He didnt turn up for the PPV because of an "emergency".

The police are treating this as a Homicide, and refused to comment to the media about the cause of death, simply saying that they "werent shot to death".

Unfortunatly, adding these all together is too coincidental to be the theory you suggested.

Now, after a coment like that, I am expecting the horrific news that the Benoits were Murdered. And whoever did it, I hope they rot in jail.

Remember the two kids left, currently in Canada...
