Orton just got suspended for TWO months for drug test fail.

YES! Two whole months without Orton, ahhhh heaven.

[Elbear]

One was for wellness, the other was for behaviour I believe, meaning he's still one away from the sack.

[Uncle Liam]

He should be beyond his third now.

[When Jokers Attack]

Just imagine (keyword being imagine) RKO in TNA! Could have so many epic feuds.

I currently prefer the TNA product to WWE just now anyway. Really been dissapoinuted with WWE since Mania beside from the Lesnar return and Extreme Rules.

Impact have been putting on solid main events. Two weeks ago was Angle/Joe which was good and just last week was Styles/Roode in a 20 minute clinic with no bullshit ending (Roode went over clean for once).

Paul Heyman's twitter rant. Worth a read.

"I walk into the offices of #Looking4Larry and there's a bunch of #ECW pics sent to me by George Tahinos (who is a phenomenal photographer) . I guess in honor of the #ECW DVD / Blu-Ray coming out next week and NO, I can't express myself in 140 characters or less and I couldn't help staring at this pic of me and Bill Alphonso from 1995 ... http://pic.twitter.com/67xt8khB and I'm looking at that pic and wondering "how f**kin' long was my hair back then?" #HolySh** And then I immediately thought, "Who would follow THAT rebel leader?

I look at some of these pics, and I realize how blessed I was in my career. Some guys have to wait forever for a lucky break. I managed @AustinIdolLive and Tommy Rich at the age of 21. Also The Orig Midnights, which I got to do on @ESPN. Got to debut in WCW on TBS at 23 years old. http://pic.twitter.com/0zAOn40l So I was @JRsBBQ color commentator at 23 years old. NO ONE IS GIVEN THAT OPPORTUNITY IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT!

I will admit, with all modesty, I #Hustled my ass off, and GOT MYSELF the opportunity with ambition, politics, and pure assertiveness. Even "down periods" would give me the chance 2 work w/ people like Mean Mark. U know him as "The Undertaker" @WWE http://pic.twitter.com/zC1uUZnH

At 26, I managed @SteveAustinBSR, Rick Rude,Arn,Eaton, Zbyszko ... The Dangerous Alliance (didn't forget @Madusa_Rocks) http://pic.twitter.com/j5vvMfgU I'm working with these legends, these giants of the industry, these absolute top guys in my 20s In today's system, most super talented people spend a great portion of their 20's just trying to make it onto the main roster and yes, that has to change.

I got to take over the creative of #ECW a week after my 28th birthday http://pic.twitter.com/bihGY6Kp. By the time I became @JRsBBQ commentator on @WWE #Raw in 2001, I was 35 years old. STILL a "kid" but I was already a veteran with decades in the business, and yet a 35 year old today would just be getting that chance and working with @JRsBBQ on #RAW allowed me to commentate Wmania 17 and @SteveAustinBSR vs @TheRock.

By the time I worked with Brock Lesnar, which has become my best known managerial role, I was 36 years old. I look at some of these pics and videos #HustleTweeters send me, and I realize what an amazingly blessed career I've had.

I've had more lucky breaks, more open doors, more perfect-storm-timing-opportunities than anyone else I've known. These pics don't just remind me of "accomplishments," they remind me of what a lucky bastard I've been to be able to ...work with these magnificent people, and play these roles, under these various circumstances. I've hit the lottery so many times, it's easy to just "expect" the next opportunity, or get a sense of entitlement. But I've never felt entitled. Always blessed. Privileged. Lucky as all Hell. And yet, I know how much hard work goes into it, and how you have to SCORE with your opportunities.

The next generation in this (or any other business) doesn't just need to "Step Up," they need to "Stand Up" and "Get Noticed!" Think it was easy for @CMpunk? Think it was easy for @WWEDanielBryan? They had to scratch and claw and fight for every ...inch of turf they could pry away from the previous generation, who made them f**kin' earn it!!!

It's not about backstabbing. It's not about kissing ass. It's not about pulling a hot stunt and getting momentary publicity. It's about creating your own opportunity (like @SteveAustinBSR did with "Stone Cold") and working harder than every1 else looking for the big break, the next chance, the golden opportunity.

This isn't a pep talk. It's the lay of the land as I see it in today's sports entertainment industry. I would have written a blog, but who knows if anyone will click on the link? And while this may be a "stream of consciousness" diatribe, it's a message to those who may be getting frustrated a message to those who may be wondering "will I ever get that chance? that break? that opportunity?" DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME TO YOU! RELY ON YOURSELF!!! Do you think @SteveAustinBSR relied on anyone? Did HHH? Did @TheRock? Did Hulk Hogan? Did @CMpunk?

With great humility, I ask you, did I? F**K NO. If there was no opportunity, I created my own, pushed my way in, manipulated the circumstances to beg, borrow, plead, blackmail, bribe, cajole, threaten, bullshit and/or manufacture. All I wanted was a mic in my hand and a time frame in which I had to deliver my message. I knew I would score.

I've seen it in this business for ages. I saw @ShawnMichaels go from tag team wrestler to greatest all around in-ring performer ever. Think it was easy for him? I remember when Shawn and Marty were blackballed in the business, and could only work in Ala-f**kin-bama. Think it didn't take @ShawnMichaels everything "and then some" to break out of The Rockers and get a chance as "HBK"? AMBITION. ASSERTIVENESS and the ABILITY TO BACK IT UP is what it takes to create the next generation of main eventers.

And it's time for the next group of superstars to stake their claim and create their own generation for others to follow. Period. Excla-f**kin-mation point. The lecture is over. Pontification has ended. Hope I've been of help 2 ANYONE who follows this acct and maybe even to someone who doesn't!

We now return you to our regularly scheduled nonsense...."

Heyman has me drinking the cool aid every time.

If only WWE would have let him run the reborn ECW or he and TNA had sorted a deal out.

Man I still dream TNA sort something out with Heyman, he would have that place buzzing.

[rexclark]

Great stuff as always from Heyman. Totally agree Luckysalt, would love to see Heyman given free reign in TNA and get rid of all the shit that's ruining it.

Watching The Best Of raw and came to this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32OPyEAraU4

Best entrance ever!

[Gre]

Watching last night's raw, basically because I'm a massive Vince mark... so far it's pretty good..

I'm up to the no.1 contenders match for the WHC; Ziggler vs Swagger vs Christian vs Khali, because they are the 4 former world champions on the Smackdown roster.

My observation; of the four, Khali had the best run as world champion, by quite some way. And that's just sad.

[lharris92]

just a note about last weeks raw, they need people to write new scripts because cena gets another joke fight and someone interferes almost costing him the match yet again. about an hour through this weeks show at the moment

[A-Rob]

Haven't watched raw or sd in the past few weeks, but most probably will watch no way out.

The triple threat match is the only match I'm really looking forward to, because it has the potential of a classic.

Sheamus vs Ziggler and Christian vs Rhodes should be good matches as well.

[lharris92]

why are the steel cages half the height they used to be

edit: and they never used to open the door either...

pg era sucks

Even though Tuesday is by far my hardest day at work, if MIKE ADAMLE returns to Raw I will stay up and watch live. And hopefully it'll be for three hours.

[luckysalt]

No Way Out had 3 strong matches in Christian v Cody, Sheamus v Ziggler and the Triple threat.

Raw was garbage, absolute garbage

[When Jokers Attack]

I know I mentioned it a few pages back about how much I am currently enjoying TNA but has anyone else been watching?

They are finally puttin on solid shows and getting it right IMO.

Alot of interesting storylines and solid wrestling matches.

Check out Styles/Angle vs Kazarian/Daniels MOTY contender.

[lharris92]

Agree, apart from those 3 matches it was only fillers and the main event sucked. Probably the weakest wwe ppv event of 2012 so far

[A-Rob]

I think Extreme Rulez had a more solid card with a very good main event

I haven't seen that match, I caught bits of Slammiversary, the knockouts match, Sting being first name in hall of fame and Storm v Crimson. I try to watch TNA but things just grind me down when I watch it.

Did you hear Bully Ray was at Raw apparently?
