  2. WWE Over The Limit 2011 – predictions & results

    3 Comments

    I’ve always said that BoredWrestlingFan.com is a site created by wrestling fans for wrestling fans. That’s absolutely true. We’re not “insiders.” We don’t work for any wrestling organization. We are normal people with jobs just like all of you, and sometimes real life gets in the way of our ability to meet deadlines here on BWF. Hence why you haven’t seen a RAW or SmackDown review for the last couple of weeks. That’s also the explanation for this article, for you see, we decided at the last minute to throw together a roundtable discussion for the WWE Over The Limit 2011 Pay Per View event, and I was supposed to post it. The problem is, I was busy all weekend, and at the point that I was going to post it, crazy stuff happened that prevented me from doing so. That’s irrelevant, anyhow, so let’s get started!

    I hate this.  I didn’t get into writing about wrestling with the intent of having to write tribute articles – not for guys whose matches I was just reviewing 6 months ago, at least.  When Captain Lou died, yes, it was a sad day for me as a fan, but Lou Albano was 76 years old.  Eddie “Umaga” Fatu passed away yesterday at the young age of 36, with reports coming in that he died of a heart attack.

    It was pointed out that WWE’s obituary, or whatever you want to call it, on WWE.com makes sure to note that Umaga was released from his WWE contract on June 11, 2009.  The person who mentioned it was pondering why WWE would point that out.  The reason is simple – WWE doesn’t want to have more heat on them about drug use if Fatu’s death turns out to be drug related.  WWE let Fatu go because he violated the wellness policy a second time and refused rehab.  The company can’t afford bad publicity right now, not with Linda McMahon running for the US Senate.

    ECW is set to be re-branded and re-formatted in the very near future.  The rumor going around is that the veteran ECW wrestlers will be moved to SmackDown and RAW, while whatever ECW becomes will be a showcase for new talent.

    Speaking of which, I went back over the last few days and watched the first three episodes of ECW on SciFi.  Not quite the original ECW, but not nearly what it’s become.  Anybody else find it funny that Mike Knox made his during a segment set to “Buttons” by the Pussycat Dolls?

    I hope TNA can sign RVD.  TNA’s guys can work circles around half of the WWE roster, and RVD can work circles around all of them.  With the Hogan deal, maybe we’ll see The Whole F’N Show become Mr. Thursday Night again.

    Jeff Hardy’s court date has been postponed once again, this time until January.  This means we’re certainly not going to see the Charismatic Enigma any time before the end of the year in any wrestling organization.

    That’s all I’ve really got for the moment.  JT will be here tomorrow with another edition of Random Randomness!

    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!
