• Wrestling News & Wrestling Rumors – WWE & TNA

- This Tuesday’s ECW on Sci-Fi drew a 1.1 cable rating, which is down from last week’s 1.2 number. It will be interesting to see what Impact does.

- TNA’s Raisha Saeed banged up her face during a recent match with Wenser for the Shimmer promotion. The pair put on a 45 minute Broadway and this was the result:

Saeed works as Cheerleader Mellisa outside of TNA.

- Matt Hardy updated his Myspace yesterday with a new somewhat cryptic message and rant against an unnamed news site, although you can probably guess which. He wrote:

“Major changes are coming to the Hardy camp! Things that are fresh, exciting, and new-opportunities that no outsider has a pulse on. I am so entertained how people who ‘think’ they’re in the know but have no clue about what’s really happening.. How they’re not even warm. But they still report it nonstop-in an attempt to boost the sales of their premium site to make a few bucks. Can’t blame anyone for trying to make a living for themselves, though. Although I’ll go on record and say the majority of them make claims and print their opinions (usually in a lame attempt to sound cool and important to their readers) that are so far from what’s actually occurring, it’s laughable. I’ve grown to enjoy it though.. It’s what happens when you become a TV and pop culture star.

Matthew Moore Hardy is a Martyr. Alot of wrestlers fall into this category. I personally always do my damnedest to “suck it up and go” because I hate letting my personal fans, and the faithful wrestling fans down. I legitimately broke my hand in 3 places during the Backlash PPV. I actually injured my hand worse by wrestling against Kofi Kingston on Raw Monday. I wonder if the preposterous .com site was critical of my performance, LOL. They were probably too busy making witty zingers and presenting ludicrous solutions to turn the wrestling industry around to entertain themselves. There’s not many men who could put their body through what I’ve put mine thru in the last month. Certainly none of the “keyboarders” who criticize me and our industry regularly. Besides the known injuries I’ve suffered recently, one day I’ll fill everyone in on a secret something that will absolutely blow everyone’s mind. You’ll either think I’m the toughest, most courageous dude ever, or an extremely driven, passionate idiot.

Please don’t take my being critical of a portion of the Sports Entertainment World Wide Web contributers as a blanket statement-that’s not the case. I have love for so many of my fans and friends that are intelligent and respectful of the pro wrestling business. The column I will occasionally read when I check out reviews (because the gentleman who writes it “gets it”, and speaks about the talent and business with respect and dignity) is the “Looking at a “so and so” edition of whatever TV show he’s reviewing.” That column is the most accurate and most consistent of any of the “major” sites. It blows most of the other “attempted” reviews away. I have no knowledge of the gentleman’s background who writes this column-but I appreciate the fact he has a good grasp on what the WWE does, what pro wrestling is REALLY about, and is respectful of what we do as humans and athletes.”

Keelan’s Call:
Personally I think Matt Hardy’s recent heel work has been refreshing and some of the best he’s ever done. And with the injury he’s been able to take it a step further. In many ways he’s used it to his advantage. He could have taken time off, but instead he’s made it part of a believable heel character, that we think is using his injury a an excuse. And of course there’s some Cowboy Bob in there too.
