Steiner Continues Ripping TNA Executives, Slams Abyss Storyline

32

Scott Steiner, who parted ways with TNA Wrestling two weeks ago, has continued to fire off messages on his Twitter account trashing his former employer’s brain trust, particularly Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Bruce Prichard. He says TNA is sinking under their watch and their tactics have instilled fear among employees. “Big Poppa Pump” also sounds off on TNA not acknowledging the ratings success of Indian based promotion Ring Ka King, the Abyss brother storyline, Garett Bischoff, cutting costs in catering and more. Steiner says:

With all the media coverage via U tube,http://GQ.com and the 40 billboards of me thruout India covering Ring ka King

Isnt it strange that Tna mentiond very little about it thats bcuz Pritchard hogan n bitchoff

Were pissd bcuz it did so well drawing 14 mill viewers n they had nothin to do with it

U couldnt talk about it at the office or tweet about it.THINK ABOUT THAT! We went to India for Tna but Tna did very lil coverage of it

Bcuz these idiots were pissed they had nothing to do with the success of it..so they tried to bury the ppl who went over there

They tried to bury me they imediately startd beating morgan,they couldnt bury Magnus bcuz

They had sent him home when they first came in,so they startd using him bcuz nxt trip to India

They’ll say he cant go ..Magnus is 25 yrs he can talk,wrestle and he looks great why would they send him home for about a year

Oh,yeah bcuz Garrett is 28 yrs has had less than 10 matches has great sideburns cant throw a clothline

And is the future of wrestling Fuck! But the guy they r burying the worst is abyss.fucking why!

They made him take off his mask cut his hair n walk around sayin he is abyss’s brother

Which makes everybody look stupid,like we dont know what abyss looks like,what he never took off his mask

Why…abyss has bn there from the begining n is a nice guy…but they just fuck with everybody bcuz they r assholes

As soon as these assholes took over they built up a barrier where u could no longer talk to dixie u had to talk Bruce

We all thought pritchard is a prick n didnt want to talk to him.but those who tried to contact dixie either got ignored or reprimended

Not sure how pritchard hogan n bitchoff convinced dixie to turn her back on the ppl who built up Tna

And listen to the 3 jackoffs that are sinking Tna..wrestling has always bn about ratings ratings ratings

Ratings are like a scoreboard,there isnt one coach that looks at the scoreboard at the end of the game

And wonders who won..and since these guys came to tna the ratings suckd and still do !!!!!!

So was is it so hard to figure out who is the problem

Since they came in ratings are down but costs are up,so to cuts cost in other areas to pay for these worthless ratings killers

They cut the money for catering and we startd using paper plates n plastic.fucking crazy!!!!

Pritchard hogan n bitchoffs tactics were to make everyboby job scared by fn with everybody and turnd tna into a zoo a circus

And just like every good circus u have clowns n midgets ……:..

Mick Foley Has A Vision: “One More Big Bump”

61

Mick Foley

Hardcore legend Mick Foley forged his legendary reputation by putting his body on the line, sacrificing his well-being and taking bumps that most men wouldn’t dare attempt. You might think that Foley is enjoying his time away from the ring, but the Long Island native recently had a ‘vision’ – and wants to take one more big bump. Foley tweeted this week:

“I believe I do have one more big bump left in me – delivered on my terms, with a @WWE Superstar who respects what I’ve done”

“My final bump came to me as a vision. I know exactly what I want to do, where I want to do it, and who I want to do it with.”

Considering the fact that developmental star Dean Ambrose has been calling out Mick Foley for “destroying a generation” with his envelope-pushing bumps,  one has to wonder whether Ambrose will try to make a name for himself by fulfilling Foley’s vision and ending him once and for all.

Foley also revealed that he spoke to WWE officials prior to WrestleMania 28 and requested that he and Jim Ross do commentary for the Hell in a Cell match between Triple H and the Undertaker:

“Wish I’d been a small part of HIAC. I asked @WWE early on about me and JR doing commentary; I guess they liked half of the idea.”

Jim Ross Blogs About Lesnar-Cena Week 2, Young WWE Talent

59

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:

Week 2 of the Brock Lesnar – John Cena Feud:

Hottest start to a Monday Night Raw that I can remember in years. The show opening brawl between Brock Lesnar and John Cena was shocking and physical. These two wasted no time verbally lambasting the other and ‘passed go’ and went right to the smashmouth, literally, aspect of the rivalry.

Lesnar has ‘it’ and his presence is stark/sobering. When the former WWE and UFC champion makes his way to the ring, all eyes are on him. 

John Cena is tough as a $2 steak. No hyperbole just fact.  Cena’s former coach at Springfield College told me that John was a physical, workhorse who anchored their offensive line as an All American center and was the hardest worker on the team.  Cena getting a busted lip had him smiling. That was awesome.

Lesnar’s interview with Josh Mathews was excellent.

Young Talent Like Brodus Clay, Dolph Ziggler & Cody Rhodes:

“At my stage of the game, I enjoy watching these young guys evolve and I have the patience to allow such to occur in a natural, organic manner. Unfortunately, younger fans want instant gratification much like they want their pizzas delivered in 30 minutes or less. I’d rather enjoy the aroma coming from the kitchen for hours before enjoying that great meal.”

Scott Hall Arrested For Choking Girlfriend, Drunk “For Days”

76

Scott Hall was arrested last Friday in Florida following a domestic disturbance with his girlfriend, reports TMZ.com.

According to an arrest report obtained by the website, Hall allegedly choked out his girlfriend in a drunken fit of rage. Hall’s girlfriend Lisa Howell says he had been drinking “for days” when they got into an argument Friday evening.

Howell says she got into her car to drive away from the residence, and in a blind rage, Hall grabbed her by the throat and tried to pull her out of the driver’s seat. When confronted by police, Hall appeared heavily intoxicated with an “unknown white secretion flowing from both sides of his mouth.” He denied getting violent.

Police observed several signs of physical injury on Howell, including red marks around her neck, so Hall was placed under arrest for domestic battery. His arrest required two sets of handcuffs due to his large stature.

Hall could not be immediately booked in jail because he was too intoxicated. He was taken to a nearby hospital to receive medical clearance before he was booked in Seminole County’s John E. Polk Correctional Facility.

Howell has refused to press charges against Hall. TMZ says it’s unclear if the case will move forward in court.

Dean Ambrose Continues His Tirade Against Mick Foley

31

Dean Ambrose Mick Foley Video

The recent confrontation between WWE developmental wrestler Dean Ambrose and WWE legend Mick Foley from WrestleMania 28 weekend in Miami has been a hot topic in the wrestling world over the past week.

VIDEO: Dean Ambrose Confronts Mick Foley At Miami Hotel

To recap, Dean Ambrose confronted Mick Foley at the Intercontinental hotel (where the WWE crew was staying) and called him out for the destructive effect that Foley’s hardcore style of wrestling has had on the industry. The idea behind the program is to build the angle as if it was a legitimate confrontation and use the buzz from the confrontation to kickstart Ambrose’s character.

Ambrose and Foley have been exchanging words on Twitter over the past few days, with Foley acting like he doesn’t know who Ambrose is:

“Having a blast with my kids at Disney. Not really concerned about some guy I’ve never heard of.”

“Three months ago,people asked me about facing TAKER at Mania – now, it’s a guy from FCW. TITANIC 3D isn’t the only ship sinking this week.”

Dean Ambrose responded with the following rant about Mick Foley and the damage that his hardore style of wrestling inflicted on the wrestling industry:

“Must be nice to be so arrogant and oblivious. Guilt free family funtime. Just great. Good for you. @realMickFoley”

“Nah, In a perfect world id rather see his house repoed and his family starved than see Mick make another dime off wrestling”

“#wwe I Just watched Edge’s full Hof speech. Big fan of Edge, too bad he had to retire so young #ThanksMick”

“He raised the bar of stupidity so high everyone ruined themselves tryin 2 get 2 it”

“#wwe Atleast Edge got to have a hof career. Alot of people didnt even get the chance to have one at all #thanksmick”

“#wwe likes to pretend Mick Foley never existed. Wwe is still apologizing for him by sterilizing the product. #raw”

“Btw..I have zero fear of reprisals from the office for wat ive said about mick foley cuz nobody high up in #wwe has any respect for him”

Lesnar’s UFC Past Mentioned On RAW, Moscow Live Event

23

– The WWE RAW crew is headed overseas today for the company’s annual post-WrestleMania European tour. This year’s tour will include WWE’s first-ever live event in Moscow, Russia, with WWE already looking to return to Russia in 2013.

Approximately 6,000 tickets have already been sold for Wednesday’s show and WWE is hoping for a sellout.  As previously reported, Triple H is being advertised for this week’s live event from Moscow – a sign that WWE is really trying to make an impact in the market prior to their return next year.

– WWE made several references to UFC on Monday night, something the company was reportedly against just a few weeks ago.

Before RAW went on the air, the USA Network aired a cut-in from the Verizon Center where Michael Cole told viewers that RAW would be going live in a matter of minutes – and mentioned former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is in the house. During RAW, both Cole and Brock Lesnar mentioned Lesnar’s UFC past. It is unknown at this time what led to the change in policy regarding mentioning UFC on WWE television.

As we saw on RAW, the storyline behind Brock Lesnar’s return is that John Laurinaitis brought Lesnar in to bring “legitimacy” back to WWE and take out John Cena once and for all.

UFC and WWE have worked together before as it relates to Brock Lesnar. WWE allowed UFC to use WWE footage of Lesnar when Lesnar first entered the UFC. UFC also gave WWE the green light to feature Brock Lesnar in the WWE ’12 video game.
