MYSTERIO SUSPENDED FOR 60 DAYS AFTER SECOND WELLNESS VIOLATION
- Even though he hasn't been wrestling for a several months, Rey Mysterio
got tested as part of the Talent Wellness Program and failed for the
second time. WWE announced that Mysterio - referred by his real name of
Oscar Gutierrez - bas been suspended for sixty days effective today for
his second violation of the company's policy. The former champion hasn't
wrestled since late August of last year after undergoing knee surgery.
While he had knee problems for a while, he re-injured it during a live
event against Alberto Del Rio in July. In September, Mysterio underwent a
second knee surgery to reinforce his posterior cruciate ligament after the
first surgery corrected his ACL and PCL, and also removed bone spurs.


BUFF BAGWELL SERIOUSLY INJURED IN CAR ACCIDENT
- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper is carrying an article
reporting that former WCW and WWE Superstar Buff Bagwell was seriously
injured in a car wreck on Monday. The 42 year old Bagwell flipped his Jeep
several times on Towne Lake Parkway, breaking his neck, jaw, and even
fracturing several bones in his face. He is currently heavily sedated at
the WellStar Kennestone Hospital due to the nature of his injuries. TMZ
adds to the story that according to the police report, Bagwell called his
wife while driving telling her he was about to have a seizure. He lost
control of his vehicle just a few moments later spinning across the raised
median. Bagwell wrestled for WCW from 1991 to 2001 and then joined WWE
after the company purchased WCW from AOL Time Warner. His time in WWE
didn't last long however as he was released in early July just after
appearing twice on WWE television. He also appeared for TNA in 2002, 2003,
and 2006.


Sin Cara is going back to Mexico..........to do some promotional work for WWE's upcoming tour next month and he will be signing autographs in Distrito Federal all weekend.

Nikki and Brie Bella are still slated to depart WWE on 4/30 when their contracts officially expire.

The decision to put the WWE Divas title on Nikki had been planned for some time (at one point, it was slated for Extreme Rules) with the idea that Kharma would return and lay waste to the Bellas as revenge for their words against her when she announced her pregnancy last year.

The Kharma return would lead to another WWE Divas title change and bring Kharma right back into the forefront of the Diva storylines.

CM PUNK REGAINS GOLD, THE ROCK SHAKES THE GARDEN
- Here are the results from yesterday's 25th annual Survivor Series which
took place at Madison Square Garden on pay-per-view: Dolph Ziggler defeated
John Morrison to retain the U.S. title; Beth Phoenix defeated Eve to retain
the Divas title in a lumberjack match; Team Barrett with Wade Barrett, Cody
Rhodes, Hunico, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger defeated Team Orton with
Randy Orton, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Sin Cara and Mason Ryan in a
traditional five on five elimination match. Barrett and Rhodes were the two
surviving members of the winning team; Big Show defeated Mark Henry via
disqualification in the World Heavyweight title match thus title doesn't

champion; and John Cena and The Rock defeated The Miz and R-Truth in the

SIN CARA OUT FOR SIX TO NINE MONTHS
- Sin Cara will be out for the majority of the next year after suffering a
ruptured patella tendon during the traditional five on five Survivor Series
elimination match yesterday. WWE.COM listed six to nine months on the shelf
for the Mexican luchador who had the worse of starts for his WWE career.
After much hype for his signing from CMLL, Sin Cara was suspended for thirty
days after failing the Wellness Program test just two months after making
his WWE debut. His rocky performances continued with a lot of botched spots
and re-takes on Smackdown and yesterday was no different as Sin Cara tried
to leap over the top rope but didn't have enough height, got tangled in the
ropes and crashed down hard.


THE ROCK THANKS FANS AFTER THE SURVIVOR SERIES
- After Survivor Series went off the air, The Rock spent a few more minutes
in the ring and cut a short promo for the New York crowd. Fans chanted "you
still got it," "welcome back," and "thank you Rock" before turning to a "we
want Ryder" chant, with Rocky acknowledging the Ryder chant saying he's a
fan too. One fan yelled at The Rock "don't cry" which resulted in a lot of
laughter from fans and The Rock himself who assured the guy that he wasn't
going to cry. The Rock thanked the fans and said he's back to entertain the
people. He called November 20, 2011 as the greatest moment in the history of
his WWE career. The Rock then shook hands with fans and WWE employees at
ringside before heading to the back.


 MICK FOLEY ON NBC's "30 ROCK"
- Mick Foley will be appearing on an upcoming episode of NBC's "30 Rock" TV
show after he revealed that he filmed scenes for it last week in New York.
Foley will be reprising his old WWE gimmick of Mankind for the episode which
also involves his first ever kissing scene! The hardcore legend is the first
wrestling start to appear on the popular NBC show starring Alec Baldwin,
Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan. Judah Friedlander, another cast member from the
show, was at the Survivor Series yesterday. Foley was also present but never
appeared on camera.

Friday Night Smackdown August 12th 2011

Sin Cara vs Rey Mysterio

Reported by: Colin Vassallo, on Jul 22, 2011 - 9:32:06 PM

Last Saturday, just one day prior to the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, WWE held one of their supershows in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with both Superstars from RAW and Smackdown participating.

During the show, a battle royal was held and featured the first - and possibly last - encounter between Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio.

As both the masked Superstars wrestled in the ring showing off their athletic abilities, the rest of the wrestlers in the ring took a backseat to observe the showdown.

After jumping and flying around the ring for a bit, The Miz decided that he had enough and threw Sin Cara over the top after sneaking up on him from behind. The crowd booed big time and the Miz responded by taking a bow! Classic!

Sin Cara

With the RAW debut of Sin Cara tonight, I thought I would post a match of him as Mistico in Japan/Mexico.
here he is during a trip to Japan and performing with New Japan against Tiger Mask IV.

Wrestlemania 27 Thoughts

Well as my friend Chad (an astute observer of wrestling) said "Lower your expectations and you wont be disappointed".   Well he again was right and WM 27 wasn't a thrill ride but it wasn't a complete bust with HHH/Undertaker doing their part in a weird match to make it memorable.    The addition of  The Rock was ok but I dont think the ending was really that great as they left the WWE champion lying in the ring.  Now can you imagine Hulk Hogan,HHH, Stone Cold, HBK or UT agreeing to that if they were WWE Champion at Wrestlemania?  I dont think so but that shows you how little regard the McMahons have for the title and The Miz.   Sadly on Monday night it was all about The Rock and John Cena and setting up really long range plans to meet at Wrestlemania 28 in Miami Florida.   Now will Vince have the guts to let it play out or will he get scared and pull the trigger on the match for Summerslam just to get the buy rate up and make some extra cash?

On another note I have high hopes for Sin Cara after seeing him last night on RAW for just a brief run in against Sheamus.and landed a huge top rope jump to start what could be a really good feud (but then again it might last one match on RAW ).  Too bad Brian Danielson has been lost in the shuffle and his lack of charisma has put him as the odd man out.
