• Wrestling News & Wrestling Rumors – WWE & TNA

- Although initial eye witness reports stated that Jeff Hardy didn’t seem “high” the Tennessean.com is claiming that Jeff Hardy was refused boarding his flight home after the Smackdown tapings because he “appeared intoxicated at Nashville International Airport’s Southwest gate.” He did not cause a scene, nor was he arrested and he wasn’t caught with any illegal substances. He was simply allowed to fly at a later date. In light of this, there probably wont be any implications from WWE management.

- Jim Ross is back with more JRSBARBQ.om blog thoughts. Here are the highlights:

On Kurt Angle’s divorce:
“There are several wrestling websites that I enjoy visiting when time permits but some seem to be trying to out TMZ. Reporting that Kurt Angle had filed for divorce…no wait…stop the presses…it was Karen Angle who filed for divorce…allegedly…sources say. Is this information that wrestling fans truly need to know? Is this news? Is it any of our business. I hope this rumor isn’t true.

[Yes Jim because it has implications on the TNA product].

On Vladimir Kozlov:
“There are several wrestling websites that I enjoy visiting when time permits but some seem to be trying to out TMZ, TMZ. Reporting that Kurt Angle had filed for divorce…no wait…stop the presses…it was Karen Angle who filed for divorce…allegedly…sources say. Is this information that wrestling fans truly need to know? Is this news? Is it any of our business. I hope this rumor isn’t true.”

On Evan Bourne:
“Yours truly has also been enjoying the development of Evan Bourne however in my view Bourne is more than side kick material. Bourne needs to be a member of Friday Night Smackdown which is as you know BROTHER the WWE’s #1 program.”

On Chris Jericho:
“Chris Jericho is picking up where Edge left off prior to Summerslam and Raw is a better show for it. I shutter to think where Raw would be today without HBK and the World’s Heavyweight Champion. And Santino’s unibrow.”
