Kharma Cries, Gone From TV For 2011, No Reason Given
On the most recent episode on Raw, WWE Diva Kharma, interrupted an 8 person Diva match. Instead of decimating a Diva like she always does, she simply broke down in the middle of the ring. No reason was given why she did this but it was announced that after this, Kharma would not be on WWE television for the rest of 2011. There was also no word about why Kharma was written out of current story lines. The WWE has been pushing Kharma very hard as of late and the fact that they are removing her from television before she has had a single match in the company is very odd and peculiar. I hope she's not gone soon and returns quickly. This was a very interesting angle. Please stay tuned for updates on the situation.
Drew Mcyntire and Tiffany Divorce
Current WWE Superstar, Drew Mcyntire, and former WWE Diva, Tiffany, announced they were getting a divorce. I know ya'll probably don't care, I sure dont. I didn't even know they were an item in the first place. Poor guys, divorces aren't fun.

Miz Fires Riley, Riley Has Had Enough...
After weeks of pent up frustration, The Miz has fired his long time assistant, Alex Riley, and continued to belittle him in the middle of the ring. After being "let go" by his former boss, Alex Riley finally had enough and attacked The Miz. I am very interested to see where this angle goes. Riley has a lot of talent and I am very interested to see what the WWE decides to do with him now that he is free from the Miz's shadow.
Cena Makes Miz Quit, Retains Title
This was a great match to say the least. I haven't been disappointed in an I Quit Match in a long time and this match was no different. Plenty of drama and back and forth action to boot. It does a die-hard wrestling fan good to see two young superstars have so much character and chemistry with each other. Despite the fact that it doesn't look like they will be fighting in the next few months, I am certainly looking forward to these two locking up again.
Orton Defeats Christian, Christian Buried Even Further
So at the last WWE PPV, over the limit, Christian lost his rematch against Randy Orton. Now I am a bit weary at this development in WWE storyline. While I never agreed with Orton taking away the title so quickly, I applaud the WWE with sticking with a current angle and not changing the story-line so quickly despite fan outrage. Fans were obviously not ready for Christian to lose the title against Orton so quickly and in my opinion, made a mistake by giving Orton the title less than a week after Christian won it. While I don't agree with the original decision, I'm glad that WWE wasn't so quick to flip flop on their decision to give Orton the title. I hope to see Christian with the title again, but in a way that makes sense. Ball is in your court WWE.
Lawyler Finally Gets The Best Of Cole (With The Help Of Hart)
Lawler had his chance at retribution during Over The Limit PPV and he got it in spades! After giving Cole a very entertaining beating, WWE Hall Of Famer, Brett Hart, made a surprise return and helped Lawler secure the win against Cole. After months of frustration, Lawler finally gives Cole what he deserves. Very fun to see Hart involved in the finish as well.

Macho Man Randy Savage Dies After Fatal Car Accident
Today wrestling legend, Macho Man Randy Savage, died after suffering a fatal heart attack behind the wheel and crashing head on into a tree. His wife was involved in the accident as well, but is said to only suffer minor injuries. I am deeply saddened to hear this, another great performer taken way too soon. I was a huge fan of Macho Madness and am terribly saddened to see him go. RIP sir...

Sean Waltman Gets Hired By WWE
Sean Waltman AKA X-Pac has announced that he was hired by the WWE to scout and development new talent into main event superstars. He will be working alongside other legends such as The Undertaker and Kevin Nash. I'm sure these guys have a lot to teach the next generation of superstars.

Sting Set To Face Hogan At TNA Bound For Glory
Dear lord this is a bad idea. Even though it is not 100 percent finalized, the current plans in TNA is for Hogan to face Sting in a main event match at the Bound For Glory ppv. Hogan could barely put on a good match in his prime, why this is seen as a good idea is beyond me. Once again TNA is relying solely on the nostalgia factor in spite of making brand new interesting angles. This promises for pure crap ladies and gents.
Chris Jericho Will Return But No Word When.
It is common knowledge in the business that Jericho will be returning to the WWE sooner than later. Although it is known that he wants to get back into action, he is keeping his return date a well kept secret. I am glad Jericho is coming back and although I know his days of action are numbered, I think he should be given one great last run.
Chyna Returns To Wrestling, Signs With TNA
After many years away from the ring, Chyna returned to action in TNA when she was revealed as Kurt Angle's secret tag team partner in his match against Jeff Jarret and Karen Jarrett. TNA once again signs an old, stale wrestler made famous by WWE. While the shock value is there, I don't see Chyna bringing in any ratings.
Ezekiel Jackson Kicked Out Of The Corre, Babyface Push Likely
So WWE wants to give Ezekiel Jackson a big babyface push by having his Corre teammates turn on him. This puts Jackson in a babyface role that will either largely benefit or hurt his career. WWE has given Jackson the ball, now lets see how he runs with it.
Miz Becomes #1 Contender, Cena Challenges To An I Quit Match
This should be very interesting. I love the work Cena and Miz always put on whenever they have a match together. I Quit matches always have great storytelling and epic action, so Im really looking forward to what these two have to offer at Over The Limit.

Mason Ryan And Ezekiel Jackson Finally Being Pushed
On the previous episodes of Raw and Smackdown, Mason Ryan and Ezekiel Jackson were shown in dominant lights and stood out from their Corre and Nexus counterparts. Ryan beat Kane, and Jackson beat Big Show. I find it very interesting that the WWE is choosing to highlight these two big men out of their respective teams and I am looking forward to what they do next.
Christian Loses World Title To Orton, Fans Outraged
As many of you probably know, Christian lost the World Championship to Randy Orton on the last episode of Smackdown just a few days after winning for the first time in his career. Fans are outraged by this decision and have taken to the web to bash Orton and WWE officials for their decision to take away the title fan's wanted Christian to win for years. The amount of web activity against Orton and the WWE is astounding. Orton is one of the top babyfaces in the WWE and this definitely will hurt his status as the top babyface on the Smackdown roster.
I for one was also bummed to see Christian lose the title so quickly. While I didnt think he would ever win the championship in the first place, I was happy to see Christian finally win the big one after so many years of great performing. I am disappointed in the WWE for taking away from Christian such a special moment. This decision hurt the WWE in two ways, it hurt Christian's status as a main event contender and perhaps accidentally made Orton a heel again. While I was disappointed in this decision I was not mad about it. Who knows? This might have all been done with this result as the plan. We shall see next week.
Shane Helms And Girlfriend Injured In Motorcycle Accident
It has been reported that former WWE and WCW superstar, Shane Helms, was involved in a motorcycle accident over the weekend. Helms suffered a broken ankle and leg, not much else is known as of this time.

Kevin Nash Talks About Possibly Heading Back To TNA, Cites Boredom For Reason
As many of you probably know, Kevin Nash made a surprise return at the most recent Royal Rumble donning his Diesel persona one more time. Since then we have not seen or heard from him on WWE television, which I am personally disappointed with. Nash wrote on his twitter that the WWE doesnt have anything on the table for him to do yet and Nash thinks his age has something to do with it. He states that if he stays with the WWE he will just be sitting on the bench until his retirement, but if he returns to TNA he will most likely be able to wrestle again. I am bummed that the WWE couldnt find anything to do with Nash as Diesel. He got a huge ovation at the Rumble which is reason enough to give him more TV time. This is a clear case of wasted potential of an awesome idea.
Christian Finally Captures His First World Championship
Well I have to say that this certainly comes as a huge surprise. While it is surprising, it is also a welcomed surprise. Christian has never really been in the main event picture and always over shadowed by Edge. Christian is a great ring worker and a seasoned veteran and I'm glad his talents are finally getting recognized. Probably should have stuck it out a little longer in WWE eh Matt Hardy?
