Official Wrestling thread Part 2

reminded me a little of this. jericho said he would really only be gone the month of august and the only ppv he would be missing is Summerslam. he has a huge match with Randy Orton. he isnt getting suspended. maybe he gets written off after the ppv for a while.

forget my last post.

Here is the latest news and notes on the Chris Jericho-WWE Brazil story:

- This is NOT a work by any means.

- Jericho was rushed to the airport late last night and they got him out of the country and into Ecuador ASAP. As of earlier this morning, he was in Ecuador. He's likely on his way back home now.

- WWE management met with and issued an apology to the Brazilian government last night and this morning.

- In Brazil, desecrating the flag is grounds for incarceration. It's against the law.

- Jericho was told by police and government officials that he had two choices - either apologize right then and there or be arrested and escorted out of the arena in handcuffs. They would have also shut the entire show down and sent fans home.

- Jericho has been pulled from the entire tour and has been suspended for 30 days. He will not be at the No Way Out PPV and the planned match with Randy Orton is off. They started the angle on RAW Monday and had planned to do a match between the two at the pay-per-view.

- This is something Jericho did completely on his own. WWE had absolutely no knowledge of this and it wasn't part of the script. A fan actually brought the flag and gave it to CM Punk as he was entering the ring.

- James sent this in: As a prosecutor here in the US, I have actually lectured to visiting Brazilian prosecutors when they came to Central Florida for international law enforcement training. We talked about the laws involving national flags of both our countries, and it is against the national law to desecrate the flag in Brazil (unlike the US where such a law would be unconstitutional). It is a misdemeanor level offense in Brazil.

- Brazil is completely different than the U.S, Canada, UK, etc. with their rules and laws, etc. It's against the law (entertainment or not) to desecrate their flag and Jericho did just that.

- UFC star Chael Sonnen was nearly banned from fighting in Brazil for simply trash talking the country.

- As noted earlier, WWE management was scrambling to "make things right" with Brazilian officials and promoters late last night.

-- WWE officials are hoping the media regarding this will die down but realize it's going to get worse before it gets better. The company also knows they had no other choice but to suspend him.

- As noted earlier, this is not a work and WWE management was extremely pissed off about the events that transpired Thursday night.

Good thing in all of this is that I don't have to suffer through another Orton vs Jericho borefest.

wow this opening segment is really really really boring

That ECW DVD looks good..

The ECW dvd would be great if they kept the original music in it.

another boring and shitty raw my god the 3 hour shows will be shitter than the 2 hour shows

Big Show is way more interesting as heel than face.

Ziggler maybe getting in the WHC scene is excellent news.

The Bryan/Punk program ought to be headlining everything. Their last match on RAW was better than their PPV match, and the storyline is actually interesting.

Just wanted to point out the few things they are doing right.

cool danka

Finally the return of Brooke Hogan to TV. Yuck!

why has Tony Schiavone never called matches in TNA? Tenay is impossible to listen to for me.

impact's opening was much better than raw's opening

so I haven't watched Impact in awhile, but it's obvious Abyss' brother is Abyss. Looks like a good story starting.

Brooke looks like she's been getting make-up tips from her mom.

What the hell is that? Google didnt help me so far...

Borazol...AKA he was boring...get it?

Yes...borazol...pronounced "bore-uz-all."
