The Late Night News Dribble

News

Welcome to the Dribble! We’re pretty WWE centered tonight thanks to a separate post about Kurt Angle and his appearance on the Bubba the Love Sponge show.

We wish them luck on their future endeavors
WWE.com has added a feature called “Where Are they Now?” Virgil is a teacher, Haku is a Car Salesman and the Outlaw Ron Bass is a construction worker. The next post WWE.com is promising is the Honky Tonk Man.

The WWE.com fans are as good at picking a Rumble winner as IP’s Matthew Michaels
It appears as if the WWE’s Ultimate Fantasy Royal Rumble was close to the actual Royal Rumble, except not really. They had Michaels winning with the Undertaker coming in at second.

Neidhart and Wilson leave Stampede, Hart wants to leave WSX
Nattie Neidhart and T.J. Wilson have officially had their last shows with Stampede Wrestling and are on their way to the WWE. They had an interview with SLAM!Wrestling following the event.

According to Wrestle Talk Radio, Teddy Hart wants out of WSX to go to the WWE. Teddy said “he’s my idol” when talking about Vince. “When my activities with MTV are finished, I’ll be heading straight to the WWE as fast as I can.” He’s got an agreement with WSX and MTV that prevents him from doing so. He doesn’t know what’s going on at the moment, and if WSX is renewed for another season, he’s not sure what that means for him. Currently WSX is on a one season deal and if picked up again, it’s possible that Hart will have to appear on four seasons of the show before being able to wrestle for WWE. Apparently MTV is interested in cross-promoting with the WWE and would like to have superstars on the show in the future. He went on to claim that WSX could serve as a “feeder system” for WWE and that WWE needs help building stars. On the new Hart foundation rumor (Nattie, Harry and TJ), he said they are “the hardest working, most reliable group of people in wrestling right now. Drug free, really, really, hard working and unbelievable psychology.”

TNA talent allows photos taken for WWE.com, and other Rumble notes
Want to see photos of a TNA talent on the WWE site? Check out the Royal Rumble timeline with photos at WWE.com. It’s an interesting timeline regardless, but the photo of Jackie Gayda tops it all off.

Crime Tyme’s JTG beat Lance Cade in a dark match a the Royal Rumble.

Following the Rumble, WWE.com put up interviews with Punk, Benoit, MVP and the Hardyz. Matt Hardy told Grisham that he wants the US title to compliment Jeff’s IC title. Punk has rather humble thoughts on the rumble as well as who he’d like to fight on the other rosters (because the ECW is a barren wasteland of talent). Check it all out here.

Here’s a bunch of crap posted over at WWE.com:

The latest Heat is also online, featuring “Val Venis v. Jeremy Young, Viscera vs. Wes Adams, a classic Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Tazz match and The Highlanders vs. The World’s Greatest Tag Team in the main event” according to WWE.com.

If Jody Hamilton blogs and I don’t post a link, does anyone read it?
The Deep South owner, Jody Hamilton, has updated his blog about General Hugh G. Rection himself, Bill DeMott:

“A word of thanks to Bill.
I want to thank Bill DeMott and his lovely wife Lacy for everything they did, not only for me personally buy everything they have done for DSW. I want Bill to know that I like and respect him as much as I have ever liked and respected anyone, I hope that our personal friendship will continue no matter where Bill is or what he does and we hope nothing but the very best life has to offer for Bill and Lacy.Thanks for everything, we all love ya!”

This is of course less angry than his initial post, since taken down.

Armed and What?
Armed and CANCELLED! – Doesn’t matter how many Trish Stratus obsessed Internet fanboys watch this show, it’s still cancelled.
Update:Apparently VH1 will pick up the seven episodes filmed, the five that have already aired and the remaining two in the series, so cheer up obsessed Trish Stratus fanboys! Now you can sit in front of the TV and attempt to figure out what every little movement she makes actually means. Don’t worry, there’s still hope!
