Taz’s Failed Attempt To Get Back In WWE, Jerry Lawler’s Travel Woes

– Jerry Lawler was the butt of a lot of jokes backstage at Tuesday night’s WWE RAW TV tapings from Laredo, Texas, according to one of our sources.

After Monday’s RAW, Lawler stayed in Austin, TX overnight and then drove 3 hours the wrong direction on I-35… ending up in Dallas, not Laredo. The King had to call WWE and arrange a flight in order to make it to Laredo in time for the RAW taping.

Lawler got a lot of flack from the wrestlers and agents for now being able to make it to the right city after 40 years in the business.

– Prior to signing a new contract with TNA, Taz tried very hard to get back in WWE. Specifically, he wanted to return in time for WWE’s recent RAW taping from Brooklyn, NY. Taz called several people in WWE, but it soon became obvious that Executive Producer Kevin Dunn had no interest in bringing him back.

During a recent production meeting, WWE EVP Triple H said, “TNA doesn’t have anyone we need.”

A friend of mine told me about this site and if anyone would like to help and contribute I would be so grateful and appreciate any donations.

Thanks and hopefully I can find something I love just as much as I did Wrestling.

The following are spoiler results for the Monday, July 29, 2013 edition of WWE RAW. The show was taped in Laredo, Texas on Tuesday, July 23, 2013.

-The show kicks off with an in-ring segment featuring the number one contender to the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan. Vince McMahon and Brad Maddox were also part of the segment, as the three discussed his impressive performances against Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro and Ryback on RAW the previous week. They also talk about Bryan’s match later on in the show against his former tag-team partner Kane.

-The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) defeated The Usos and Mark Henry.

-Rob Van Dam defeated Fandango via Count Out. The finish came when Fandango left Summer Rae and ran to the back in the middle of the match.

-Dolph Ziggler defeated Big E. Langston via Disqualification. The finish came when AJ Lee attacked Ziggler, costing Langston the match.

-Christian defeated current World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio. The match was not for the title, so Del Rio remains the World Heavyweight Champion.

-Daniel Bryan defeated Kane via Pinfall. After the match, Kane chokeslammed his former tag-team partner. This led to The Wyatt Family coming out and once again attacking “The Big Red Machine.” Bray Wyatt then cut another one of his wild promos.

Punk then had words for Heyman, who ran off to the back in fear.

-We shoot backstage to a segment featuring Vince McMahon, Triple H and Brad Maddox. Vince McMahon mentions how he wants a Superstar who is like Triple H to face John Cena for the WWE Championship at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Steve Austin Speaks On The Shield Breaking Up, Offers Advice To John Cena, More

31

WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was recently interviewed by AfterBuzzTV.com. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

The Shield Breking Up: “They’re gonna break up The Shield one of these days after these guys get a little more seasoned…The guys are still great in the business and they have wonderful potential.”

John Cena: “Here’s the thing about John Cena…that guy’s walking on the edge of a razor blade. Some people love to hate him, some people love to love him. But let me tell you something about John Cena; they all respect him. That guy has done a tremendous job for that company. He’s a guy that always shows up, he’ll work in pain, he always has a smile on his face. He goes to the nth degree to promote that brand. I’ve got nothing but respect for that guy. Really the way the fans take him. Some people say, ‘Would you please stop pushing this guy down our throat?’ But they’re not. He’s the face of the company. What do you do? Make number one the Blistering Heel? I tried that back in the day and I was Stone Cold. I was that grey area between black and white. Cena’s the face of the company, you don’t do that. When you turn down the cameras, the lights…he’s the face of the company. John Cena is a young veteran. He’s been in the ring, he’s told some great stories, he’s had a lot of high profile matches. He’s a young man, but he’s a veteran. You gotta work smarter, not harder. John, take care of your body.”

Getting back in the Gym following Surgery: “Right now I haven’t been workin’ out too much. I had a few set backs, but to answer your question [I work out] usually 5-6 days a week. Normally, I’m in there for about an hour and if things are going well I will add in 30 mins of cardio. I live about 2 miles from Gold’s [Gym]. I’ve been training there for many years, but I started training at a little hole in the wall place when I was healing up my shoulder a couple year’s ago.”

Jesse Sorensen Released From TNA

70

Jesse Sorensen has announced on Twitter that he’s no longer with TNA Wrestling.

https://twitter.com/TNASorensen/status/359685593212526592

Sadly, Sorensen is probably best remembered for breaking his neck during a match against Zema Ion last year. He had been working for TNA’s production department while he recovered and trained for an eventual return to the ring.

Earlier this year, Sorensen  appeared on the Busted Open satellite radio show and spoke about his paralysis and recovery. Here’s what Sorensen to hosts  Dave Lagreca and Doug Mortman about TNA supporting him during this very difficult time in his life:

“Dixie has, out of everybody, probably been the most amazing. She’s totally taken care of me. When she was in the hospital with me she was just like a mom. She was there before my mom was and was just there telling me everything’s going to be ok and totally took care of me. I mean, she was there from the time I got hurt, she was holding my hand right after I got paralyzed. Dixie has been absolutely amazing. Totally taken care of me and its cool because still to this day some people are like, ‘are you going to wrestle? Are you not?’ Dixie always tells me, ‘I know you’re going to wrestle again. I know it’s going to happen.’ So she’s been very positive. So has everyone else at TNA. All the boys, they’re like, ‘I can’t wait till you come back and wrestle,’ even if we don’t know I can. It’s been really cool. Everybody’s been very supportive, which was cool because I hadn’t been in TNA that long and I was just always a shy kid so I didn’t make a whole lot of friends while I was at TNA. I had the guys I hung out with but it was cool because I got really close to a lot of people after this happened.”

… and to think, before becoming President of TNA, Dixie Carter ran a Public Relations firm! Unreal.

Here are some Twitter reactions to TNA firing Jesse Sorensen:
