Good ol' J.R. has updated his blog again with thoughts on Randy Orton, the possibility of Kurt Angle in MMA, Killer Kowalski and more. Check out his full update HERE.
WWE.com has admitted to Shawn Michaels "injuring his left tricep" during the final segment of Raw, but indicates he will wrestle at Unforgiven on Sunday anyway. Michaels will be out for 4-6 months after Unforgiven if he gets surgery. (PWI)
In a related note the HBK vs. Y2J angle is reported to be coming off so well because Jericho and Michaels are working together on planning it out. The creative team does have some input to the angle, but Jericho and Michaels are the ones calling the shots and coming up with the main ideas. (WO)
The 2009 WWE Royal Rumble will be held in Detroit, Michigan. (PWI)
Even though TV Azteca and Televisa in Mexico turned down Shane McMahon in negotiations to improve the company's TV situation in Mexico, WWE has signed a deal with the cable channel TVC Deportes. They will air Raw live from October 6th on. (WO)
Vince McMahon was on a rampage at the TV tapings after SummerSlam. There was a situation where he cussed out Bruce Prichard at Raw, which surprised many people and caused everyone to walk around on eggshells around Vince. TV that week didn't go as they would have liked due to a timing issue and it was said to be overwritten. To make matters worse, the script for Smackdown didn't come until 7 PM the night of the show. The level of disorganization reminded some people of working with WCW. (WO)
In regards to the debuts of Colt Cabana as Scotty Goldman, Jay Bradley as Ryan Braddock and Shawn Spears as Gavin Spears it boils down to the fact creative has never been high on any of them, which is also why they didn't win in their debuts. (WO) How typical of WWE - supposedly "creative" people can't think of a way to get over guys who don't NEED a gimmick other than being themselves (Colt Cabana in particular) so then they decide they're "not high on them" and book them to loook like jobbers and idiots.
Last but not least this is the current card for Unforgiven as of last night's edition of Raw.
