    Raven, Kennedy, and Striker – OH MY!  Let’s get started.

    Monday night on RAW, Mr. Kennedy returned to the WWE after being out for a very long period of time with an injury.  What followed was not nearly as surprising – he injured himself in his first match back.  The fans at the Staples Center seemed to enjoy his presense, but that wasn’t enough for the WWE to keep wasting their time with MISTEEERRRRRRR INJURY PRONE!

    INJURY PRONE!

    Kennedy was back for four days before WWE decided to release him from his contract.  Do you think that TNA would take him, or is he now resigned to work as MISTEEEERRRRRRR FRY COOK?

    5/30/09 UPDATE: Rumor flying around is that Randy Orton had some kind of discussion backstage with Mr. Kennedy following RAW, that Orton has considerable influence in the company, and these factors may have been what led to Mr. Kennedy’s release.

    ECW color commentator Matt Striker is the center of controversy this week as alleged nude photos of the school teacher turned professional wrestler began circulating the internet.  Internet Wrestling Community pundits are beginning to wonder if this is the sort of thing that could cost Striker his cushy World Wrestling Entertainment job.  In my opinion, if Disney kept that High School Musical girl after her nude pics leaked, WWE will certainly keep Striker.

    Buff Bagwell did an interview recently where he said he’d work for WWE for free, and if TNA called him, he’d listen.  Does this guy seriously think he’s got a shot at WWE again?  He was there for all of a week before they fired his ass the first time around.

    AOL and Time Warner are set to dissolve their merger after nearly a decade.  Could this mean a new wrestling organization under the direction of Ted Turner is now possible?

    WWE has now changed the name of the Unforgiven Pay-Per-View event.  It’s going to be called “WWE Breaking Point” and is rumored to be a submission themed pay per view.  I kind of like the idea, though there aren’t really a whole heck of a lot of submission wrestlers on the roster that I can think of at the moment, so I can’t imagine what the matches would be.

    The highlight of my week actually happened on TNA iMPACT! this past Thursday night as my favorite wrestler returned.  During a therapy session, Dr. Stevie put Abyss in a straight jacket, prompting Lauren to come to his rescue.  Through the crowd emerged a familiar face – RAVEN!  The former NWA and ECW Champion took away Dr. Stevie’s kendo stick – and blasted Abyss with it himself!  Raven and Dr. Stevie, the former ECW Tag Team Champions reunited with an embrace in the ring.  Welcome back, Raven!

  2. Conspicuous by his absense…

    I’m sure you guys may have noticed that, aside from my usual Sunday afternoon post, yours truly has been absent from BWF this week. Truth be told, I’ve been fighting an uphill battle with New York State over boring, non wrestling related stuff for the past two weeks, and I’ve just been burnt out. I’ve not only taken a few days away from BWF, I haven’t even watched ECW this week, nor have I watched the last 30 minutes of RAW.  I promise you a SmackDown review this week, which will either be posted before the show even airs in the US, or sometime this weekend.

    Anyways, while I’ve been slacking around here, a new columnist (who still owes me for the window he broke when he hurled that brick with the mysterious note attached last week) made his debut.  Legend Killer is a wrestling fan from Australia who will grace us with his presense every Wednesday with his new column.  As far as I know, he is not Nathan Jones.  Though how awesome would that be?  We could ask him questions like, “how does it feel to see that the fact that you were technically The Undertaker’s tag team partner at WrestleMania XIX be completely ignored?”

    There’s yet another new skin available for BWF.  It’s an nWo inspired theme called “Back In Black.”  Not only is the name also the title of an awesome song by AC/DC, it’s also the title of the WWE released nWo DVD back in 2002.

    Finally, starting next Monday, it’s WrestleMania 25 week here at BoredWrestlingFan.  There will be a new WrestleMania themed article every day starting Monday and leading right through the event on Sunday.  Drowgoddess will be checking in with reports of the festivities around Houston leading up to the event as well.
