Archive

– According to PWInsider, Mick Foley wants to work a program with Vince McMahon, leading into next year’s Wrestlemania. This explains the Kiss My Ass Club segment which effectively turned Foley back into a babyface on his way out the door last week.

– The following has been added to tonight’s RAW preview on WWE.com:

After making his energetic return to RAW last week, Jeff Hardy is wasting no time testing the top talents RAW has to offer. Tonight, Hardy will take on Randy Orton in a No. 1 Contender’s Match for Johnny Nitro’s Intercontinental Championship. Both Orton and Hardy have held Intercontinental gold in the past; which Superstar will earn the opportunity? Can Hardy keep his momentum from last week churning, or will the Legend Killer stop the Enigmatic Superstar’s comeback dead in his tracks?

It’s about that time to pack up the book bags and head back to school. Fortunately for WWE Fans, Torrie and Candice are going back early to compete in a Back to School Girl Paddle on a Pole Match. Who will be the first to reach the paddle and dish out some punishment to the naughty loser?

– The Wrestling Observer newsletter (click here for subscription information) has reported that despite getting a tryout match a few weeks ago, former WCW Tag Champion Sean O’Haire has not heard back from WWE when calling them to see about getting re-hired. O’Haire was booked in a strong gimmick (“I’m not telling you anything you already didn’t know…”) and in a top Smackdown program with Hulk Hogan (as “Mr. America”), Zach Gowen, Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon before being released shortly after Piper was fired. He has competed in mixed martial arts matches recently, but not been very successful.

Matthew Michaels is editor emeritus of Pulse Wrestling, and has been since the site launched.
