Raw Main Event announced + Georgia considering WWE regulation

Send News and Event Results


On Raw this Monday, the main event will be Randy Orton and Ken Kennedy Vs. Jeff Hardy and Shawn Michaels.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution featured an article that was all about the Georgia State Athletic Commission possibly regulating WWE. Interesting to note that the commissioner the most behind this is Cary Ichter the lawyer for Chris Benoit's father. You can read the article here

You can argue all you want about the motivations of Ichter and Jerry McDevitt has a quote basically doing just that in the piece, but really if Georgia regulates WWE and nobody else does then WWE will just find reasons not to run Atlanta and other Georgia cities. It may be harder to freeze out Georgia than it was to freeze out Oregon back in the day but when they really commit themselves to a cause WWE's capable of anything.

WWE Champion Randy Orton will defend against the fans choice among:

  1. Ken Kennedy
  2. Jeff Hardy
  3. Shawn Michaels


Gee, I wonder who will be the choice?

The original advertised plan was for Orton to wrestle John Cena in a fans pick the stip match but injuries happen.

Cena to miss between 6 and 8 months of action

Send News


WWE Champion John Cena was diagnosed with a complete tear of his right pectoral muscle by Dr. James Andrews in Burmingham earlier today. Surgery is required to fix the injury which will put Cena on the shelf between 6 and 8 months. That means he is more than likely going to miss Wrestlemania 24 in March.

Cena will be stripped of the WWE Championship and a new champion will be crowned at Sunday's No Mercy PPV event in Chicago.

Losing their top draw for a half a year is very bad news for the WWE to put it mildly.

Cena was scheduled for a Last Man Standing match against Randy Orton on the Pay Per View but was injured while doing a hiptoss in the main event of Raw against the returning Ken Kennedy.

John Cena to be examined by Dr. James Andrews in Burmingham later today

Send News


It is believed that Cena suffered a torn right pectoral muscle in his Raw main event last night against Mr. Kennedy.

The examination to be conducted later today will determine the severity of the injury, the type of treatment to rehab the injury and the amount of time Cena could be out of action.

Like I wrote last night, in terms of talent going down this is pretty much the worst guy for WWE to lose to an injury. Cena is by far and away the top star in the promotion, loved by many and hated by a near equal amount of fans.

I don't know what this means for No Mercy though I suppose we'll find out later today. Cena has been so reliable that it is hard to think of him not being in his scheduled main event match with Randy Orton. If Cena's injury is serious, well then Orton may finally get the title whether that was the original idea or not.

Personally, I hope for the best for Cena. I see him as good for the WWE and by extension the wrestling business and in many ways I find the hatred of the guy to be mystifying.

More as it develops.

I'm sure this will be a topic of conversation among Euan, Art and myself on tonight's combat Hooligans show.

John Cena injured on Raw

Send News


In what would be near the top of the worst possible news for WWE to get right now it appears that John Cena suffered a torn right peck in his main event match against Ken Kennedy on Raw.

Cena is expected to have an MRI on Tuesday to determine the seriousness of the injury.

Cena made it through the rest of the Kennedy match and Orton angle. He is scheduled to defend the WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing match this Sunday at No Mercy.

Ken Kennedy returns to Raw tonight against...

Send News


John Cena, I think that Cena guy has a belt or something.

Also on the show we've got the man with 3 H's Vs. Vince McMahon, who I believe has some management job with WWE.

Plus, the WWE says Randy Orton won't be at Raw tonight. We'll see if what they say is true, cause they've also said things in the past like "Our wellness policy is effective".

Tonight is the final Raw before No Mercy.

Main Event for No Mercy announced

Send News


In a move that I'm sure thrilled all the Memphis fans at Sunday's Unforgiven, it was announced that John Cena would defend the WWE championship in a Last Man Standing match at No Mercy against Randy Orton.

Bet all those people are cool with paying for a ticket to see a match and then finding out they really paid to hear that it would be next month in a different city.

I love dubble-dubble-e.

Eleventh Wrestler suspended in Signature Scandal, 1 of the suspended is a second time offender

Send News


Both of those revelations come in This Newsday Article

Jerry McDevitt confirmed an 11th suspension to Newsday, said that 10 of the suspensions were for 30 days and one is for 60. A 60 day suspension indicates a second time offender, and under the policy, 3 strikes and you're out.

McDevitt also tells Newsday that no more suspensions are expected. (They're starting to run out of guys they can suspend).


I've not said this yet but WWE is lucky Vince McMahon changed his mind at the last second and decided Cena should retain the championship at SummerSlam. Lets not pretend that we don't have at the least a strong indication that Randy Orton is one of the 11 suspended and how bad would it look if your champion was on the suspended list for 30 or 60 days? Even if by some remote chance, it isn't Orton, his name has still been mentioned in connection to Signature and it wouldn't have looked good if they had been able to append "Current WWE Champion" in front of it.

WWE Wrestlers are so screwed, and Ken Kennedy's nose is 6,000 miles long...

Send News


Sports Illustrated names names, drugs supplied and period supplied for several current and former WWE stars

The article lists the names of several current and former wrestlers under WWE contract and what they received and when. Note that all of the current WWE wrestlers received stuff while the “Wellness Policy” was in effect.

  1. Chavo Guerrero received somatropin, nandrolone and anastrozole from April 2005 through May 2006.

  2. Shane Helms received testosterone, genotropin and nandrolone from November 2003 through February 2007.

  3. Randy Orton received somatropin, nandrolone, stanozolol form September 2004 through February 2007.

  4. John Hennigan (Morrison) received somatropin, anastrozole, testosterone, stanozolol and chorionic gonadotropin from June 2006 through February 2007.

  5. Ken Anderson (Kennedy) received anastrozole, somatropin and testosterone from October 2006 through February 2007.

  6. Shoichi Funaki received somatropin in March 2006.

  7. Charlie Haas received anastrozole, somatropin, stanozolol, nandrolone and chorionic gonadotropin from August 2006 through January 2007.

  8. Edward Fatu (Umaga) received somatropin between July and December 2006.

  9. Darren Matthews (William Regal) received stanozolol, somatropin, genotropin and anastrozole between November 2004 and November 2006.

  10. Adam Copeland (Edge) received somatropin, genotropin, andstanozolol between September 2004 and February 2007.


Other Wrestlers named are…
  1. - Chris Benoit, received nandrolone and anastrozole in February 2006.

  2. Eddie Guerrero received nadrolone, testosterone and anastrozole two weeks before passing away in November of 2005.

  3. Brian Adams (Crush) received nandrolone, testosterone, and somatropin in December 2006. Adams had not worked for WWE in several years.

  4. Sylvain Grenier, who received somatropin, nandrolone, genotropin and stanozolol from February 2005 through July 2006.


This blows the credibility of the wellness policy all to hell as these are detectable substances and issued by an internet farmasy which is against the policy in the first place.

Plus, in the case of anastrozole, I really want to know what legitimate medical purpose the wrestlers who received it had for it? You can read about Anastrozole here and I welcome theories as to the legit medical purposes that could require such a thing.

Oh, and I retract my previous retraction. Ken Kennedy is a lier lier, pants on fire, fire…and he’s fucked…fucked!

If you need a refresher as to why, Kennedy did all these interviews and blog posts where he claimed the drug culture went out with the wellness policy, said things weren't as bad as in the old days, and that while he had used steroids, he stopped when the wellness policy was put in place.

You might say that 12 guys or whatever is a small part of the WWE roster. These are just the names released so far, and just from the one place...lord only knows what other wrestlers could've been getting and from where.

WWE can suspend these guys now but why wasn't this done sooner? why did this get as far as it did? The wellness policy is now completely in the toilet.

But hey, I'm not going to be all negative on WWE here, at least they have a wellness policy even if it failed big time. Having it is at least 3 steps ahead of TNA.

Thought I forgot about you Orlando boys didn't you?

You'll not enjoy your congressional time either.

Names linked to Signature Pharmacy starting to come out...

Send News


Earlier today we noted that WWE has suspended 10 wrestlers under its wellness policy for their connections to signature farmasy. Some of the names connected to Signature are starting to come out...
ESPN.com's story lists some, and
The New York Daily News lists more. We actually have more names than people suspended...thus far. and just because a name is listed doesn't mean they were one of the 10 suspended, WWE has not released that information at this time. It also doesn't mean that those 10 will be the extent of the suspensions when it is all said and done.


  1. Funaki
  2. Batista
  3. John Morrison
  4. Chris Masters
  5. Shane Helms
  6. Randy Orton
  7. Booker T
  8. Charlie Haas
  9. Edge
  10. Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci
  11. Santino
  12. Chavo Guerrero
  13. William Regal
  14. Ken Kennedy


Dave Meltzer notes that some of these perscriptions predate the wellness policy, which is why in fairness to Ken Kennedy, I have removed the text that initially appeared here.

Anyone that is suspended for crimes committed before the introduction of the Wellness policy would probably have a good grievence should they choose to pursue it but WWE is under a lot of pressure from the government (who probably knew these names already) and it would've looked bad had they not acted.

Meltzer seems to suggest even more names have yet to come out.
