The Creators of WWE Unleashed Present:
RINGSIDE RUMORS
1/31/09
Whoa! How long has it been? I haven't seen you guys since last year! Well hopefully you've been well. Judging by the counter, you've been checkin in. Our bad for not comin' back sooner, but now we're back! But with something a little different this week. Rather than go through a month of rumors, we're going to look at the things we liked, didn't like, and are coming around to for the month of January! Then we'll be back to our regular format with more frequent updates! So here we go!

For RAW, 2009 started off with a bang! Or should I say a kick to the head. Randy Orton was involved in several RAW storylines including the forming of Legacy, Who sleeping with Kelly Kelly (On camera), his social disorder (I.E.D.) and his quest to win to the Royal Rumble. On that Rumble quest, he managed to finally form a group, shut down Kelly Kelly, further downgrade the stock of Kane, and KICK VINCE MCMAHON IN THE HEAD. The kick was a big deal folks! There was a lot of momentum in that Orton foot and that momentum lead him to winning the 2009 Royal Rumble (Suck it, Triple H!) You couldn't talk about WWE without mentioning Randy Orton! Orton's now the top heel on RAW (Sorry Jericho) and occasionally the top face, depending on what city they're in. He's kinda like Cena minus the intense fan hatred and little girl lust. Wait...he's not like Cena at all...I'm sorry.
Anyway, Randy Orton's Road To Wrestlemania is looking like it's going to be an interesting one, and despite how slow he talks and how many heads he locks, we at Ringside Rumors are looking forward to the next steps involving Randy Orton!
1. Both Hardyz have a chance to further cement themselves in main event status and steal the show at the much anticipated Wrestlemania 25.
2. Both Hardyz have a chance to further their singles careers and characters and give us a great family feud that is more legendary than the Alexis Laree (Mickie James) vs. Valentina Laree (Lizzy Valentine) feud from years ago.
3. Where the hell was Christian?
Spoilers aside, everyone thought Christian was going to make some type of iMPACT (Ha! I'm on fire with these!) at the Royal Rumble. Turns out, he didn't! He wasn't there at all! But we, at Ringside Rumors caught up with Mr. Cage and asked him what the deal was with him and his WWE Contract.
EXCLUSIVE:
Christian: ::Eating at a McDonalds:: I dunno...hey, you want your fries?
You can have 'em Christian. Anyway, Matt and Jeff are obviously not sharing a car on their Road To Wrestlemania. There are lots of interesting turns this storyline can take! Maybe some special cameos to add further fuel to this Hardy fire? Lita, I'm lookin' in your direction!
EXCLUSIVE:
Lita: What?? No! Now are you gonna buy an album or not?!
Well, no one seems to want to talk, but The Hardyz has got Ringside Rumors excited! Now bring back the MFer Shannon Moore and all will be complete!

Now, I'm not sayin' that anyone on the staff enjoyed Victoria's retirement, or the way she was sent out. But, we DID enjoy the amount of respect poured out from the community towards Victoria. And since, Ringside Rumors didn't get to do it, we're gonna do it now!
Victoria,
Thank You for all of the memories in the past 9 years (I'm includin the ho stuff!) Whether you were making us laugh in a banana suit, or cracking Trish Stratus upside the head with a chair, or just giving your all in the ring winning championships or putting over the not as talented divas on the roster, you were awesome at everything you did and truly were not the lady to mess with! Thank you and we hope this isn't the last we see of ya!
P.S.: PLEASE don't come back as Suicide...
Our new President!
The Wrestler
Ring Of Honor's NEW TV deal!!
The Miz and John Morrison
Jack Swagger
New Episodes Of Scrubs!!!
Lady Gaga
Crack A Bottle by Eminem feat. Dr. Dre & that guy who's named after change.
Kelly Kelly
Lack of Batista on WWE RAW (Oh yeah, get better.)
The Motorcity Machine Guns
Powerpuff Girl Marathons (Gotta love those lil' amputees)
Unfortunately…
HERE’S A LIST OF THINGS WE DID NOT ENJOY THIS MONTH:
CROSSING THE LINE
Dear TNA Wrestling,
...Guys! ...GUYS! WHAT HAPPENED?? It may look like I'm pessimistic and cynical towards TNA Wrestling but contrary to popular belief, I enjoy your product. The PPVs I've been too, were very enjoyable. You have tons of talent at your disposal, and this Main Event Mafia storyline had promise. And this is comin' from someone who does NOT like Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle, Booker T OR Kevin Nash. The storyline was still good and I was comin' around. The Front Line looked promising with all of the YOUNG TNA GUYS (And Rhino) and I actually looked forward to watching TNA iMPACT on a weekly basis. Of course I had to watch The Office and 30 Rock first, then watch iMPACT on DV-R, but the love was still there! The beatdown and send-off of Christian Cage, was awesome. I was behind the Christy Hemme push. I love Beer Money. I love LAX. I love the Knockouts. I love love love my Beautiful People (86 Kip James.)I'm a fan of yours TNA. I really am....
Ya go and add Rhino and Team 3D to the Front Line, rather than focus on the TNA guys who deserve main event pushes. I'm sorry Rhino and Dudley fans, but this ISN'T the 90s/Early 2000s, and these guys should NOT be main eventing when there are MORE TALENTED wrestlers on the roster. Where's Christopher Daniels?? Why not have LAX support the Front Line. And I know recently, LAX has been in the corner of the Front Line, but why can't they be in the photo above? Jay Lethal, Eric Young, even Consequences Caribbean Creed have more to prove than Rhino and Team 3D. I know you lost your talker in Christian, but c'mon....REALLY?
In addition to having Rhino and The Dudleyz in your main events, and shoving guys like AJ to the side, you put KIP JAMES in a TNA PPV Main Event! I understand your circumstance, and I sympathize with you. The whole staff sympathizes with you. But, was it THAT hard to turn it into a tag match? Rather than have Kip James there? Really?? The TNA fans would've understood...I guess that's all! And if that's not enough torture, you give us
.......Okay. I've seen some shitty characters before. Duke The Dumpster Drosse, Rock-a-Billy, Max Moon, that 70's Guy, Palmer Cannon, The Spirit Squad, that yellow Spiderman from WCW, Glacier, Cowboy Amy Zidan, The Boogeyman, The Shockmaster, Ricky Ortiz, Hornswoggle (Yeah I said it)and more....but Suicide has to be the cream of the crop. This character is the STUPIDEST character I've EVER SEEN. First of all, he comes from a videogame. Not just any videogame. It's not like they were inspired by Vega from Street Fighter, or we have a plumming tag team, it's taken from their OWN videogame in a terrible attempt to boost more sales for their already crappy TNA iMPACT: The videogame. I mean LOOK AT HIM! Scroll up and take a good look at how this clown looks. I shouldn't call him a clown. That's mean to Doink. But this...THING looks like a Mall Spiderman or a Badly Cosplayed Spawn. He looks like he can fit the role for Bad Guy #12 in Super Double Dragon for the SNES. He doesn't look threatening. He doesn't look entertaining. He. Looks. FOOLISH.
I have nothing against the people who play Suicide. I love Christopher Daniels and I think Kaz is awesome. But this gimmick is obviously cursed. During the buildup, Kaz got injured so they put a halt to Suicide. Kaz comes back, gets injured AGAIN. No more Suicide. And rather than taking the SIGNS FROM GOD THAT THIS GIMMICK IS NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK, you put a talented wrestler like Christopher Daniels, who SHOULD BE IN THE FRONT LINE, in this stupid suit. Scroll up and look at the suit again.
Go on. You can. I'll still be here. ....Doesn't it look stupid?! I'm tired of having to look at it on iMPACT. Just get rid of it. iMPACT 2 is coming out. Focus on that. What's next? iMPACT 2 is gonna have Genoicde?? And he's gonna be the twin of Suicide?! And then at Bound For Glory we'll have Homicide vs. Suicide vs. Genocide? C'mon guys...I mean this with greatest of intentions. TNA wrestling, STOP FUCKING UP!!!
Let It Rock,
Rated R-KYO
Moving on...
It seems like every non-traditional WWE champion has to get shafted with some odd storyline to show to remind us that they're holding the title for a short period of time and that the championship will be back with the golden children (Cena, Batista, Triple H, etc.) very soon. Just like CM Punk and Rey Mysterio (Although I didn't feel sorry for him) Jeff Hardy is the next guy to fall in that category.
Jeff's storyline is showing that someone (rumored to be Christian) was trying to "stop him from living his dream." And how do they stop him from living his dream? By TRYING TO KILL HIM every chance they get! First, Jeff was attacked in a stairwell at the Survivor Series. Poor guy. Then, Jeff and his girlfriend Beth (Played by Anne Hathaway) were involved in a hit and run accident. THEN, while coming to the ring for the Cutting Edge segment, his fireworks went off and almost burned his face off James Hetfield style (Oooh...) This all supposedly culminated with Matt Hardy turning on Jeff at the Rumble, BUT! On Friday Night Smackdown, Matt stated that no one could prove that he was the one trying to kill his brother, but you could prove he hit him with a chair. So is Jeff's murderer still out there?? All signs point to...maybe. I mean why would Matt Hardy wanna kill him right? That's not somethin' ya wanna have to deal with every Thanksgiving.
I don't know why WWE went this route, but the majority of the RR staff doeesn't like it! But that doesn't mean we can't have fun with it. Lets exlude Matt Hardy and Christian Cage and look at some suspects that other sites and the WWE have failed to mention...
Now wait just a minute! The Main Event Mafia?? They're in TNA! Why would they be trying to kill Jeff Hardy! It's simple...who created The Main Event Mafia? TNA Wrestling. Who was TNA's first big acquisition? Jeff Hardy. Who failed miserably in TNA Wrestling? Jeff Hardy. Dixie Carter and the people at TNA still have a vendetta against Jeff Hardy! He was supposed to be one of the guys who carried them into the mainstream. He was supposed to have that momentum like he does in the WWE and put TNA on the map. Unfortunately for them, he didn't. He returned to WWE and is now one of their biggest draws and merchandise sellers (I know I've got my glow in the dark Jeff Hardy deoderant! Do you??) It makes perfect sense for MEM to take out Jeff Hardy, not just for TNA, but for Dixie Carter and her bank account. I'm onto you MEM...and all this time I thought it was about respect....
Kayfabe speaking, this is the guy who stabbed John Cena in a night club for Carlito. Carlito may be a Smackdown tag team champion, but we all know the guy wants to be a main eventer. Look at the main eventers on Smackdown! Triple H, Edge, The Undertaker, Jeff Hardy, etc. This is a slow plan for Carlito to get back into the main event scene for 2009. No one would suspect Jesus! We asked Carlito about his thoughts on Jeff Hardy, and here's what he had to say...
EXCLUSIVE: Carlito: This site is still around? Anyway, Carlito has no problems with Jeff Hardy. Sure, sometimes Carlito had to travel with him, and share hotels with him, which means that Carlito would find purple and yellow hair clogging the shower and sink. And Carlito found that pretty disgusting. But Carlito isn't a man who holds grudges over bad etiquette! Carlito knows all about hair clogging the drain. You see, the trick to dealing with the hair is-
Okay, he's got a good cover up...
THE BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION (Working as one)
Seriously! How come anytime supernatural or unexplained goes on in the WWE? No one blames these two?? Both have a history of attempted murder. The Undertaker tried to slice Austin's head off during the crash-TV obssessed Attitude Era! And Kane...do I even have to mention? What would they have against Jeff Hardy though? Oh, these two always have a reason to hate someone....or they could be working for McCool. It is her world you know. We just live in it....SUSPECT #4:
RIKISHI
Already a WWE attempted murderer, once again, he did it for the people. But this time he also did it for John Cena.Trish Stratus?? TRISH STRATUS?! Not Trish! I'll tell ya why Trish is a suspect. Lets take a look at Trish Stratus' WWE relationship history. Ever since 2000, she's had a fixation for the charismatic enigma. Flirting with him and 2000 and 2001. Having a brief alliance with him in 2001 and more importantly in 2003. Trish and Jeff have a history that has inspired dozens of sexually explicit fanfictions across the world! 2003, the two were paired together and shared a few sloppy, paint-filled kisses. Unfortunately, Jeff Hardy got released and Trish never got to really share her love with Jeff Hardy. Instead, she was linked to people like Chris Jericho, Christian and Carlito (She had a C fetish.) and of course Mickie James! Not that these were bad candidates, it's just they weren't the one. So Trish, developing a strong dislike for Jeff Hardy is trying to stop him from living his dream for breaking her heart years ago. Psycho, I know, but guess what? It takes a psycho to know a psycho, so in her expert opinion, here's Mickie James.
EXCLUSIVE:
Mickie: ::On a horse:: That's silly! Trish wouldn't try to kill anyone! She didn't even try to kill me that time I slipped a little something in her drink and tried to take advantage of her. She just snapped out of it, and told me "Mickie, I'm flattered but disappointed." Then she walked out of the room and never spoke about it again. I sent cards, and flowers and everything but she just acted like it never happened. She never noticed my love. ::Eyes watered up:: That bitch never gave me the love I deserved....::Sniffles:: Excuse me! ::Leaves on the horse::
Speaking of Mickie, why isn't she wrestling? There's one more suspect guys!
SIDESHOW BOB

And now here's the rest of the list of things we didn't enjoy:
The Brian Kendrick heat (C'mon man!)
Lack Of Mickie James
Matt Morgan (THIS GUY SUCKS)
Vladimir Kozlov
Snow
Horrible weather
Eve Torres' theme music.
Lil' Wayne's Rock songs.
Lack Of Smackdown vs. RAW 2009 DLC for XBox 360 (Fuck you THQ)
But wait, there's a little more! There are a couple of things, that we've come around to in the past month. Meaning, the idea at first was a little blah, but now we're more receptive! So here we go!
JBL: I am SOOOO MAD AT YOU!
At first, this storyline seemed like a one-way-ticket to disaster, but every week, I find myself more and more into it. Damn you Shawn Michaels, you've done it again! ...Oh, you too JBL.
(Credit to http://www.chris-jericho.com for screen capture)
So it finally happened. Michelle McStyles has turned heel. And although I still don't like her very much, I will admit that she has me interested in what crazy thing she's going to do next. She beat the crap out of Maria and Eve. And seems to be fitting in nicely in her heel role. She shouldn't talk as much as she does, but I find her character easier to swallow now that she's playing a bitch. They say the best characters come from real life so hey...
But I think one thing has made me come around on McCool some, is her entertainment value! Not in the ring, but outside the ring! Have you seen some of this girl's blogs? If not! Here's a look!
EXCLUSIVE:
Let me start by saying that YES, I do read all the comments (good, bad & ugly) that you guys send. Just the way all of you have/voice your opinions (which I do respect), I've decided to do the same. I may offend some, make some laugh, make some smile, make some cry, but....this blog is all about you guys. You ask, you demand, you demean and I am going to respond. So, from here on out in this blog, I'm going to continue as "Michelle McCool outside the ropes" & "Michelle McCool inside the ropes!" I think you can determine the difference!
Michelle McCool inside the ropes:
McCool: I've gotten a lot of comments and criticisms on my move set recently. Let me tell you something TheInsideHer @ Mind-Grapes.org, ya think you're better than me?! On your stupid little laptop making your stupid little comments? I don't care you know. And I laugh off your comments! L-O-L. Darkside Diva, you think I stole a guy named AJ Styles' finishing move? I'll have you know the Michelle McCool "Leg Lock Of Love" (Later renamed M.A.D.T.) and the Cool Clash Of Styles (Later renamed Faith Crusher) are original Michelle McCool creations! And is that supposed to be a joke? Darkside? I get it but I don't find it very funny. I laugh off your comment. L-M-A-O. King Jackson? You are whack-son. And StratusOrton? You must be snortin' if you think Michelle McCool is offended by what you say. Two L-O-L's and a ROFL for you. Australian Omlette? You can suck it. Big L, small o, smaller l, big exclamation point! iCarly619, you don't hurt me. No one hurts me! That includes you Mickie's Sex Slave! Slavery was abolished years ago! Remember that folks! I'm off for now! Faith to the fight. Fight for your right. A stitch in time saves 9! Learn some English Maryse! Keep It Faith Star!
Michelle McCool.
P.S.: Right back atcha ChunkyLove53@aol.com!
