The Wrestling Rumor Mill is Back, Rejoice! (Humor)

It's been a while, but I'm back with another installation of the only rumors you should ever believe.

Everyone should know that the fans clamor for only one rumor mill around here. Those who think my rumor mill isn't heavily sought after also believe that The Great Khali had one of the most impressive title runs in recent memory.

 

Ring of Honor (ROH)

  • Mike Hogewood got himself in a similar situation to Pee Wee Herman recently. Apparently, some people in a movie theater that Hogewood was in didn't take kindly to having the announcer shout "slap the porpoise" in the middle of an action scene. Things were smoothed over once everyone realized that Hogewood was fully clothed at the time of his outburst.
  • The creative team of ROH have now implemented the "Pick 6" rankings to make the title scene a bit more credible. Unfortunately, getting a clear understanding of the rules is as easy as figuring out Sudoku.
  • ROH has partnered with Mexico's AAA promotion. Wrestlers such as Teddy Hart and Jack Evans, to name a couple, will make their way into a ROH ring. No worries, if you haven't seen the work of the AAA guys, you still won't. NO ONE gets HDNet.

Total Nonstop Action (TNA)

  • Lacey von Erich calls her wrestling attire her "costume". My insiders tell me she might be somewhat delusional and think she's a superhero of sorts. Well, with great power comes great ability to botch the simplest of tasks.
  • Five TNA wrestlers have recently asked for their release but TNA has rejected all five. Apparently the captain won't be the only person going down with this ship.
  • The last charges against Kurt Angle have been dropped. Trenesha Biggers plans on re-filing her case against the former Olympic gold medalist. Well, you know what they say: "If at first you don't succeed, try and try to extort again."
  • Sojourner Bolt has been quietly released from TNA. She hasn't been seen on television in a while. Other wrestlers have since reached out to Bolt asking for advice on how they can get released as well.
  • Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have yet to appear in TNA. It's rumored that Hogan won't be showing up to the Impact Zone until special accommodations are met. Apparently, the major demand is that catering provides food with lots of fiber for Hogan and his league of extraordinary has-beens.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)

  • Word has it that the Trix rabbit to host an episode of RAW. Why? So we can have Chris Jericho interact with him and say, "Silly rabbit, RAW isn't the place for wrestling."
  • The Rock is in talks of hosting RAW in January to promote his movie Tooth Fairy. You gotta love that the man who was laying the smackdown is now running with wings on his back.
  • Many have jumped over the departure of Shane McMahon from his family's company saying how Vince is pissed and Stephanie and Shane don't get along. Well, folks, don't be surprised if it's all a SWERVE!
  • Oh, by the way, that fellow right up there holding the title just might be hosting an episode of RAW.
  • Early talks going around are saying that WrestleMania 26 might feature a matchup pitting the Undertaker versus Chris Jericho. This is the backup plan as the writers are holding out hope for their top choice. If we are lucky, we will be able to view the Undertaker vs. Father Time in the desert. 
  • If you're wondering why John Cena and DX are being so chummy when they have a title match in two weeks, I've got the scoop for you. At Survivor Series don't be surprised to see the match end with the three men "hugging it out." After all, this is PG, right?

Ed. Note : These were jokes, just in case that fact didn't dawn on you. And I really don't think TNA is going to fail. At least, not any time soon.
