First off, RAW in Birmingham, Ala., was great. Loved every second of it, and we got to see a title change hands and on top of seeing parking lot brawl between Randy Orton and Ric Flair. But enough about RAW in my hometown, on to what you came for, the 411.
Samoa Joe News
This is actually a bit of breaking news if you will, Samoa Joe actually hurt a few of his fingers yesterday and just updated his official Twitter account and said he hurt himself again. Here is what he had to say:
"Just left Boise State training facility was told I have a torn my triceps in addition to broken fingers. Sweet!....."
This is terrible for TNA right now. He is just now getting back into the main event picture, and he is supposed to be taking out the Main Event Mafia one by one. Also, we know now that "Taz" will be making his way to TNA.
He is allegedly the man behind the new persona/image of Samoa Joe. TNA has been throwing hints out as to who it is, but they have yet to actually show him on TNA television.
I would think Taz would come out, because of his popularity, at a PPV. He has not been able to be on TNA TV for a while because of a supposed no-compete clause.
I would think because Taz left the WWE after his contract with them expired, that he would be able to do whatever he wanted.
But I guess not. In any case, it is not clear how much time Joe will miss, but torn triceps are not comfortable what so ever.
I would think he would be out a few months. Unless TNA decides to have him just do sneak attacks and no real wrestling in the ring, he will have to stay out.
I would think because Joe is so important to the storylines going on right now, and that he needs to stick around for the new image to pay off where Taz comes to TV, that TNA will most likely be considering that.
More Kennedy news
Looks like Mr. Kennedy was not liked by a few others behind the scenes. Orton was one of the people to go to Vince McMahon and complain about Kennedy's in ring work.
McMahon was said to already be in a bad mood that night over the whole Denver Debacle Situation.
No one was named directly, but it was said to be multi-time World Champions who said something. Which I would think you could fill in the blanks yourself there.
On the plane ride home, Vince basically went nuts and put him on the "do not call list." While Kennedy was not fired on the spot and fired Friday, the plans to have him released actually started the moment Orton said something to him.
For those of you who do not know what the "Do not call list" is, it is the list that very few are on where the WWE basically refuses to have them back in the company.
Many believe the wrestling business to be a "never say never" business, however the WWE has not brought back anyone on that list according the Wrestling Observer.
A few examples include: Raven, Chyna, and Kanyon.
So putting Kennedy on that list is a bit harsh because these people did do a few things you could understand to be bad for the WWE.
Kennedy has botched moves in the past, but that is no reason to release him for a few moves he missed. Even if it was on top stars in the company.
