Dammit!

Sabu showed up at the Smackdown/ECW taping tonight several hours late and without his ring gear. He was then told to go home and immediately released. Sabu was originally scheduled to face Kevin Thorn on ECW On Sci-Fi tonight and plans had to be changed after he was sent home. The latest word is that after finding out that he was scheduled to lose to Thorn, he claimed he had a neck injury.

Some believe that Sabu showed up to the taping late on purpose, knowing he would be sent home, because he has not been happy with how he is being used. This is apparently not the first time he has shown up late and/or without his gear recently.

And…

Rob Van Dam’s match with Snitsky on Tuesday could have very well been his last match ever in WWE. Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch is reporting that RVD is officially done with World Wrestling Entertainment as of last Wednesday.

WWE felt that keeping RVD around and burying him on TV was not worth it and it was better to get him off TV as soon as possible.His contract wasn’t going to expire until late June at the earliest, but WWE officials cut that short because RVD said he would not re-sign with them and they had nothing for him until then. Despite the early release, RVD has a no-compete clause, and thus he can’t show up in TNA next week for instance.

He is expected to sign with TNA after a long deserved summer break. If and when he joins TNA, it will probably be in September at the earliest. TNA is trying to land a two hour slot for the fall season on Spike, so if they end up getting it, they’ll probably hold him off for the two hour show’s debut.

Fuck. I am very excited for the taping here in July because I wanted to see the originals…. And now my 2 favorites are gone. I can’t say I’m surprised, It’s shocking Sabu lasted this long. Oh well, hopefully Sandman and Tommy will make it to July. ( and Punk!)

Just Your Average Wednesday

-This morning was the Andy Dick roast on the Howard Stern show. Like all the roasts it was awesome with a few notable exceptions. Colin Quinn, who killed on the Artie Roast was disappointing and Benjy sucked as would be expected.

-Jerry Fallwell died. I hope he fucking rots. He was everything that’s wrong with everything, with quotes such as:

And, I know that I’ll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say, “You helped this happen.”– Rev Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians, feminists, homosexuals, and abortion rights supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, quoted from John F Harris, “God Gave US ‘What We Deserve,’ Falwell Says,” The Washington Post (September 14, 2001)

I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!– Rev Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved, 1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom
If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being.– Rev Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)
-How do you enjoy the whipped topping on the top of an Iced Capp? You can’t suck it through the straw…
-I’m trying to track down Bad Religions “Into the Unknown.” No torrents anywhere that have yielded anything so far. Anyone?

BBB’s Notebook: TNA iMPACT! 05/10/07

-Homicide/DVon/Scott Steiner wasn’t a bad match, there just wasn’t much to make me care about it.

-Christy Hemme makes me hate wrestling.

-The Bashams attack!! Basham and Damager? Damaja? What’s the deal?

-The Jarrett recap video was well done. They’re doing a good job of hyping the ppv.

-I hate the Backlund deal.

-”No time for Sonjay…” Nice.

-Shelly/Sabin vs. Lethal/Dutt was good.

-The 3 way split screen interview was a little chaotic. I think it was by design but it still sucked.

-The main event 6 man was a lot of fun but the finish was cheap.

-Christian is a brilliant smug heel.
