    Now reports say the WWE Network "will launch" with WM.

    Randy Orton's scheduled to return next week.

    And it's official:
    Kharma confirmed on Twitter this week that she was indeed released from WWE. A fan asked if it was true that Kharma was "granted" her release from WWE. Kharma replied:

    "yes, I was. It doesn't mean I'll never be back."

    New stories from DeadSpin

    http://deadspin.com/5928979/the-million-dollar-man-has-no-time-for-your-hangover-more-wrestler-run+ins

    I grew up in the pinebelts of West Alabama. Incredible deer hunting. My dad is an attorney and is friends with a prominent Jackson, Mississippi attorney. My dad invites the Jackson attorney and two of his buddies over to do a weekend of deer hunting on our property. The two other guys happen to be Eddie Payton (former Minnesota Viking, current Jackson St. men's golf coach and brother of Walter) and Virgil's boss, the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.

    Ted happens to live outside of Jackson and is a big hunter. I come down from college at Tuscaloosa and bring in-tow several of my degenerate frat buddies. We all meet Eddie and the Million Dollar Man on Friday and they are awesome. They're religious and don't drink but they laugh at our shenanigans. (Eddie's son is there and doing all kinds of gymnastics tumbles, flips and shit). Ted tells great stories about Andre the Giant drinking entire kegs at bars. They go to bed early Friday night for an early morning Saturday hunt and, of course, me and my buddies stay up quite late doing all kinds of drinking and other things...In the morning, while we're all still crosseyed from the night, Ted and Eddie come busting into our cabin and Ted screams in his wrestling voice, "Can't kill the deer if you drink all the beer! Ahahahaha!"

    Later that day, a wild boar chased Ted and he was scared shitless. We grilled steaks that night and Ted would spontaneously bust out, "Everybody's got a price for the Million Dollar Man! Ahahahaha!" On Sunday before they left we snapped this pic of him putting me in a sleeper hold. Great guy.

    DiBiase rules at everything.

    Should be champ.

    I live in Sanford, NC (grew up in Cameron) and I'm pretty used to running into the Hardy boys. I was somewhat of a fan growing up just because they were local boys. Nowadays my experience generally consists of Jeff cursing and acting inebriated outside of a gas station on US-1. I saw him a few weeks ago, pounding on the ATM machine and trying to withdraw more money than the wad he already had in hand. I assume either his account was empty, or the machine had run out of bills. Since they were never really childhood heroes, it's just rather amusing to me. I'd like to party with them one day. I'm sure it'd be wild.

    Hmm, the Chikara website says TFN was in Ontario.

    Whatever, I'm just glad I can go to "Deep Freeze" in Alabama in October. I really, really hope they'll have the King of Trios DVDs available by then.

    Edit: To answer your question Buttlord, just go to smvod.com, sign up (it costs nothing and is simple to do) and the videos are streaming.

    Matt Morgan was recently asked on Twitter when he would be returning to TNA TV, and posted the following…

    "I'd say somewhere in between NEVER and EVER."

    He was then asked when he would be on "TV" again, and answered with the following…

    "Sooner vs. later."

    A fan asked of Morgan was returning to WWE, and he replay was as follows…

    "Tick-tock."

    Word on Kharma's WWE departure is that she had been in Florida training for her return to action but got the knock for being out of shape, hard to work with and stubborn about suggestions of how they wanted to change her character. She had been losing weight since we last saw her.

    W★ANGseday Night WAR - August 15th 2012

    We’re live from the W★ANG Warzone and sometimes bingo hall. Holly Hearse and Bryan Alvarez welcome us to the show as Cassidy Riley comes through the crowd, grabs a chair and throws it into the ring nearly hitting Holly. He climbs into the ring and pulls the microphone away from Bryan before shooing both off to the announce table.

    “Before this joke of a show even starts let me be the first to break the news that Mr. McManus told me to take the night off. Apparently he didn’t like my actions last week when I proved how much better I am than any of the overrated vanilla midgets or idiots in baseball uniforms in this company.”

    Riley unfolds the chair and takes a seat.

    “And guess what, that title belt from last week, there’s supposed to be a tournament for it. And I’m not booked in it. So until I get some respect around here. I guess we can just sit here and discuss what’s wrong with this company.”

    The crowd reacts with a mixture of boos, groans and actual responses as to what’s wrong with this company.

    “Number one: I’m not being billed as a young up and comer who can headline any company in the world. Number two: none of you have even heard my awesome entrance music yet. In fact why don’t we play that while we wait. Maybe we can sing along.”

    Music plays but it is not Riley’s. Out comes KUDO who hits the ring and kicks off a brawl, eventually sending Cassidy Riley running to the outside for cover. KUDO jumps off the chair onto the top rope and dives down onto Riley with a double knee drop. KUDO whips Cassidy Riley into the guard rail and it moves so far back that it would injure people if they were in attendance. Riley ducks a springboard elbow off the guard rail and runs to the back. KUDO hops up on the guard rail and plays up to the audience who are mostly just grateful that Riley’s gone.

    Overall Rating: 43%

    Sexxxy Eddy vs Johnny Goodtime :
    Johnny Goodtime comes out to the Punch Out theme as performed by The Minibosses. He flips over the top rope and lands in the center of the ring. Sexxxy Eddy comes out and does a Ravishing Rick Rude routine in front of a woman who looks like she might press charges.

    Eddy hits a massive spinning kick to the jaw and flexes. Hard hip toss from Eddy who keeps Goodtime hooked and whips him into the corner. Johnny rolls through into a headstand on the top turnbuckle. Eddy charges and Goodtime drops down to the apron before kicking out the knee of Eddy. Shoulder thrust to the gut of Eddy sets up for the slingshot legdrop. Goodtime blocks the suplex attempt. Lifting DDT by Johnny Goodtime, looked good. Hooks the near leg, but Eddy gets his other foot on the bottom rope. Eddy swats away a dropkick attempt. Sexxxy Eddy hits a rolling kick on Goodtime. Goodtime takes a hurrancarana from Sexxxy Eddy. Cover for a two count. Springboard dropkick from Sexxxy Eddy. Nicely done. Pinfall attempt gets a 2.9999.

    “And folks we’d like to interrupt for just a moment to announce that tonight’s scheduled match between Kota Ibushi and Matt Bentley has been changed into a tag team match! Kota Ibushi and KUDO will face the team of Matt Bentley and Cassidy Riley!”

    Johnny Goodtime powers out of a Sexxxy Eddy headlock. Flying cross body off the top rope on a running Eddy! I'll give a 0.8 on the Steamboat scale for that effort. Hooks the leg for a close fall. Sexxxy Eddy gets whipped into the corner. Goodtime charges in, but into a pair of raised boots. Eddy uses a roll up, with feet on the second rope! The referee hasn't seen it: 1....2....3!! BUSHI comes running down the aisle with a chair and into the ring! Eddy turns and runs. BUSHI stands on the top turnbuckle pointing at Eddy telling him to watch his back. I'll give it a **1\2 rating.

    Player Uno is in his backstage lair lit by a single light source standing on a levitating platform.

    “They made me give back the unnamed title or UnTitle as I’ve crowned it but I’ll have it back soon enough. It belongs to me. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it though. Part of me wants to lord it over the peons in attendance and another part of me wants to break it into eight pieces and hide it around the world so that nobody can ever challenge me. I guess I could just split the difference and tear my opponents to pieces and scatter them over the crowd. Anyone who opposes me will be destroyed.”

    Uno gives a creepy smile.

    “Speaking of opponents…

    Willie Mack, you might think you’ve bested me but I promise you this: you have not seen the last of me. We will meet again very, very soon.”

    Player Uno gained overness from this segment.

    BUSHI is in the ring and climbs the turnbuckle to spit his white mist. CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK! Sexxxy Eddy shoves BUSHI over the top rope into the ring and tosses the chair onto him. Off the top - Total Sextacy hit hard. Sexxxy Eddy raises the chair and drives it side-first into the throat of BUSHI, causing him to roll around in agony. The chair gets put around the head of BUSHI, who then gets driven face-first into the mat, crushing his wind pipe against the steel. Paramedics come running out to help BUSHI as Sexxxy Eddy exits via the crowd stopping to swerve his hips outside of the range of anybody with pepper spray.

    Peter Avalon vs Willie Mack :

    Peter Avalon comes out to his new theme: “Juggernaut” by Clutch. He stops to roar out an “UNDEFEATED!” on the ring apron. Avalon grabs a microphone from ringside.

    “3 and 0!”

    Boos, mild disinterest.

    “Bring out my next victim!”

    “Game Over” hits the speakers and Willie Mack charges the ring and floors Avalon with a series of forearm shots. The bell rings as Willie Mack delivers a huge shoulder tackle and goes for a cover but Avalon is smart enough to roll to the outside. SUICIDE DIVE! Peter Avalon got pancaked! Willie Mack leans Peter Avalon against the apron and hits him with a loud chest chop. Avalon shoves Willie Mack into the ring post and tries a few chops of his own to no effect. Willie Mack slaps Avalon’s chest so hard that it sends him scurrying away into the ring. Peter Avalon jumps Willie Mack with a flurry of punches and kicks. Avalon’s charge gets met with a shoulder block from Willie Mack. Avalon tries again with a spin wheel kick and gets caught in a trap suplex. Yet a third running attack from Avalon is met by Mack throwing Avalon straight up in the air and hitting a hard elbow on the falling Peter Avalon. Avalon crawls into the corner. Willie Mack’s diving clothesline is blocked by Peter Avalon by pulling the referee in the way! Scumbag move! The lights go out! When they come back on Player Uno has Willie Mack lifted up. Dig Dug Driver! Uno leaves the ring as the referee comes to. 1…2...3. It's over! Uno rolls back into the ring and starts beating down Willie Mack as Peter Avalon celebrates his winning streak. The Space Jam theme hits as Sugar Dunkerton comes running down the aisle into the ring. Avalon and Uno bail out of the ring, leaving Willie Mack down in the ring. Sugar Dunkerton may have saved Willie Mack from a brutal beating. Peter Avalon leaves through the crowd shouting “4 and 0!” This one gets a ***1\4 rating, it was a good bout.

    For months there have been rumors on a big angle planned this summer for WWE. Reportedly they wanted something to grab attention like CM Punk's speech last summer or the Nexus angle of two years ago.

    The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting CM Punk's turn on the 1,000th episode of Raw was the start of this summers big angle.

    So we can assume there's more to come.

    I was on such a roll at the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 and the whole Kane and Eve thing killed my momentum. Basically killed my career. So, to turn that around and get revenge on them was something I needed. Hopefully it’ll get the Ryder Revolution back on track...I'd love to get that [US title] back. In 2011 I think I proved to people that I’m not a joke, I can be taken seriously in the ring. And hopefully by the end of this year I’ll have a major championship... I can't be the same old guy forever. But that doesn’t mean I’ll have to drop all of the parts of my character to get to the top. I think eventually I’ll evolve. If you’ve followed my career I was a Major Brother, then an Edge Head, now I’m Zack Ryder, I’m sure in three years I’ll be completely different.

    I love it, simply because the only way they can build it up is by having Cena admit he's a hypocrite and that the fact that he just couldn't beat The Rock even with an advantage has eaten away at him for a year.

    Plus they have to throw out that whole thing they did for last year's Mania buildup, where they kept calling the match a ONCE IN A LIFETIME match.

    Yeah the circumstances would be completely different, and all around better, but I just want to see Punk headline a Mania. He had a WWE title match at Mania 28 but to just close a show like that would be the final feather in his cap as a pro wrestler.

    But then again, if they give him a year long WWE title run I guess that's a huge deal too.

    It would still be historic, in that the two did not fight with the title on the line.

    What I'm wondering is what they would do until Mania. Isn't EC 2013 in between Rumble and Mania? Would they have the Rock defend his WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber? That would be worth seeing, even if it meant Rock vs Cena at Mania again.

    The thought of Rock in an Elimination Chamber match is intriguing, I'll give them that.
