Some of Todays Wrestling News and Rumours (Possible spoilers) ***NO CHAT***

– As announced last week, the WWE live event that was scheduled for today in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada was canceled. KamloopsNews.ca provided the following explanation: “The SmackDown World Tour scheduled for Sunday at Interior Savings Centre has been cancelled. A spokesman for WWE said Thursday that the event had to be scrapped for logistical reasons. The company presents at least eight events per week and sometimes encounters “routing” difficulties between cities. Getting from Tacoma to Kamloops became an issue. Full refunds for the World Wrestling Entertainment event are available at the point of purchase.”

– The original Sin Cara returned to action at last night’s WWE SmackDown! live event in Tacoma, Washington, as Daniel reported last night. He defeated Tyson Kidd with the Spanish Fly. For what it’s worth, one fan in attendance noted that it looked as if Cara was rocking a blond mo-hawk under the mask.

Tarver on Cena...

http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/Michael_Tarver_Speaks_Out_On_John_Cena_The_Nexus_Debut_What_Went_Wrong.html

His opinion on John Cena:

"Professionally, I have the up most respect for John Cena. I think John Cena is the face of the company and should be the fact of the company because there is no one there that can do it the way he does it. John Cena is who he is for a reason, I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as he does and the man is working (between) 5 and 7 days a week for WWE, Basically he is WWE. Personally, I don’t really care for him but it doesn’t matter if I care for him."

His side of the story about John Cena purposely injuring him with a chair:

"That night, David Otunga and I knew that we were taking chair shots and we knew when we were taking them, something of that magnitude can be dangerous and we were prepared for it. I had my reservations about it because on an independent show in 2005, a guy I was working with hurt me pretty bad with a chair, hitting me in the back of the head and necking leading to me being temporally unconscious and paralyzed for 45 minutes so I had reservations about taking chair shots. (During the segment), I look over and see David Otunga taking his shot and it sounded like it was a lot harder than it show have been so as I prepared for mine, I felt it and it felt like he was trying to swing for a home run so I dropped out and I wasn’t selling it because I was legit hurt. As I’m laying there, I see David Otunga taking multiple chair shots, more than the one that we were told we were taking so when I saw that I decided to get out of there because I was thinking about what happened in 2005 and when I get up, I see part of a chair swinging towards me and I put my left arm up to protect myself.

"Now before I continue, when you are in a situation like that in pro wrestling/sports entertainment and you know there is something that dangerous planned, there is no reason for you to have to protect yourself in that way from being legitimate hurt. There is a reason to protect yourself in a match to get that part over but to protect yourself like if you were getting shot at is something different. I’m not trying to say Cena was trying to maliciously hurt me, I’m just saying he wasn’t being very careful. So when he swung the chair, and I put my arm up to project myself, the point of the chair caught my left arm and immediately felt bones crack and knew something was seriously wrong so I ran because I wasn’t going to take another shot as I knew I couldn’t protect myself.

"I get backstage and its customary being a rookie, being as it is entertainment and we work together, for you to shake hands and thank the person, especially someone like John Cena, to shake his hand and thank him for that experience because he didn’t have to work with me or any of us for that matter. I’m in the back and I’m kicking all the trash cans and I’m angry and I’m trying not to yell because I didn’t want to lose my job. As he came back, I put my hand out and said “Thank You” and he just looked at me and walked past and of course I was even more angry. He made it about five more steps, looked over his shoulder, laughed and said “How’s the arm?” and I said “It’s fine” and he laughed again and walked off."

PWInsider is reporting Todd Grisham finished his tenure with tonight's NXT TV Taping as he has left WWE for a position with ESPN. Over the past year Grisham has had his responsibilities and on screen appearances decreased.

Grisham, who also did regular play by play for soccer events on FOX Sports, had been with WWE from 2004 on in different roles, including backstage interviewer, lead announcer for ECW on Sci Fi and a number of now-defunct WWE broadcasts, including Byte This, Sunday Night Heat and The Bottom Line.

On his Twitter account, William Regal wrote that he wished Grisham well and thanked him for all his help with Regal's commentary work on WWE NXT.

Shame. I always liked him. Not the greatest but always enthusiastic...

MitchKoobski

I always liked him purely for his enthusiasm. Was watching the 3-disc Ladder match he presented over the weekend and did get to wondering where he has gone.

rovert

I liked Todd overall.

Slightly Blues Clues in his presenting style tho.

Said it before and will say again...I've always wondered why someone didn't try and "drama-tize" wrestling and do a show like that...

Kinda reminds me of a Mortal Kombat poster

That is easily one of the worst posters I've ever seen.

MitchKoobski

Christ Almighty I could do better than that in 10 minutes, they didn't even trim the images of the wrestlers, you can still see the white around them! Terrible!

Normally their graphic design is top notch. I just liked the logo and credits.

It has to be The Laughter Lounge, I can't think of any other spot. Vicar Street would be too big for two nights.

I'll be doing my best to get us a second interview with him!

rovert

Speaking of Foley he looks happier and younger than Ive seen him in ages here:

Weight loss & the hair dye helps.

On the comedy gig front dont expect a comedy comedy show he mainly tells storys from his books.

Still would be worth it though. Maybe he could do a Belfast date aswell so one in dublin and one in belfast. Maybe he could do the Button Factory either

Ah yeah of course it would.

The other thing I heard was Foley always goes well over time on his set as he gets so caught in his stories. So in other words this wont be some rip off "Mick Foley & Friends" show where Mick is only on for 10 minutes or something while ****e comedians pad out the rest of the night.
