In regards to RVD, I'm pretty sure you get fined a grand for smoking weed, rather than strikes/fired. Although there could be more to that story, I'm not exactly up to speed at the minute, but thats what I thought.
Regarding Lance Cade, JR said something in his blog about him making a major error. Check it out...but it seems to point to drugs.

From JR's blog:
As many of you know, Lance Cade was abruptly released from his contract this week much to the surprise of many of us. I have always thought that Cade had a wealth of physical potential and he was always a polite young man in my dealings with him. Like many fans, I too did my share of arm chair quarterbacking as to why Cade was not featured in a more prominent role on WWE TV programming. However it seemed that in the past several weeks those issues were being addressed even to the point of Cade defeating HBK on a recent Monday Night Raw.
The story that I have read on many internet sites about the reason for Cade's sudden dismissal isn't accurate. Many punhdits speculate that Cade was dismissed because of a bad performance in a recent TV bout against DX on Raw which is absolutely untrue. Lance's dismissal had zero to do with his in ring performances or his lack of ability.
Lance Cade was dismissed from the WWE because, like many humans, he made a major league mistake while utilizing bad judgment that cost him his job. This included Lance having a seizure on an airplane and having to have emergency medial care. Luckily, Lilian Garcia was on the same flight and was instrumental in helping Lance get taken to a hospital where a battery of tests were run that luckily determined that there was nothing seriously wrong with the young man such as a brain tumor, etc.
Everyone makes mistakes, Lord knows I have made plenty in my career, but in this day and time some mistakes just simply can't be condoned. To some fans, Lance Cade will likely still be perceived as the victim in this matter and his punishment too harsh.
Under the circumstances of the situation, I don't know what other decision the WWE could have made. I'm just relieved that it wasn't me in my former role that would have had to address this matter. I really like this kid and hope that he continues to follow his dreams. Second chances are not foreign in the wrestling business so perhaps that could be in Lance's future but that's just a personal observation.
Lance Cade is a talented young man whose best days should be ahead of him and I wish him nothing but success. Lance has been knocked down and now it is up to him to get off the canvas and get back in the game. I'm damn sure pulling for him.
Let's hope Lance's peers are paying attention to this situation.

Kurt Angle will be leading the recruiting campaign to bring Cade in. Not because Angle is a big fan of Cade or that he thinks he can help TNA, more because Angle is curious to see what kind of drugs Cade was taking and to see if hes got any more...nakedmadman wrote:Dumbass. Utter dumbass. Oh well, who's running the over under board on how long it's going to take Cade to end up over on TnA?BronzeWarlock wrote:Sounds like drugs to me.

Just finished reading Chris Jericho's book. Very good read, a little disappointed that it ended with him just coming to WWE, the book ends right as he was making his debut in Chicago.
I would like to see him write a second book, his tenure in the E, what caused him to leave for those couple of years and what brought him back.
He was pretty honest, dished a little dirt on some guys from his past but if there just could have been a few more chapters.

All the wrestlers who have said they've gotten loaded with him over the decades.yeti dude! why makes you think vince was or is a pot head?
i don't see it.
...well it's obvious Cade wasn't stoned.
But they would have suspended him anyway sooner or later if he tested bad for weed.

Earth shattering would be that The Rock and Sock Connection are reuniting in TNA! Hey... stranger things have happened.
That said... earth shattering in TNA probably means that Mick is now commissioner and his first order of business is making a "Reverse Sock on a Pole Match" for the #4 contendership to the TNA title. The match will feature 11 TNA wrestlers, 7 Elvis impersonators, 5 former NASCAR pitcrew members, 4 midgets, 3 transgenders, Lanny Poffo, a cigar store indian, and a talking mule.

That would be entertaining depending on what midgets they get. I wonder if the WWE still owns the patent on "Mini-Mankind" and "Mini-Vader?" And if Ronnie Garvin/Miss Atlanta Lively is one of the transgenders...Sabu wrote:That said... earth shattering in TNA probably means that Mick is now commissioner and his first order of business is making a "Reverse Sock on a Pole Match" for the #4 contendership to the TNA title.

And wow... imagine if they sell out the Joint at the Hard Rock. What an accomplishment.
Meanwhile it's two weeks from the big TNA swing through Southern California and I haven't seen one ad. They're playing a 90 year old venue out in Bakersfield, a brand new 11,000 seat arena that opens this week out in the inland empire, and an ancient convention center across from Disneyland that last had a wrestling event in 1994 (when Flair vs Hogan topped a WCW card that drew less than 800).
I think it's fair to say TNA won't be looking to return and do a pauy-per-view here after the upcoming dasaster!

Holy shit it is only half over but this has been a great iMPACT! They need to take it on the road and have it live more often.I like this idea of the Main Event Mafia, even if it is a lot like WCW Millionaires VS.New Blood feud. WCW had some horrible guys in that feud like Mike Sanders.
Where's Izzy?
So tonight's "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" was that Mick Foley is now a kayfabe investor in TNA... Suddenly my idea for the Reverse Sock On A Poll match doesn't sound as underwhelming now does it?
At least the rest of the show was watchable... even it did have less wrestling in a two-hour show than WWECW has in their 60 minute show.
On a side note... Foley shows up and they announce he's signed a 6-month deal with the company. Then they announce he's signed for one night only even after making a half dozen appearances. Then he's back the next week to give his farewell address. Now he's a part owner.
Next week... Mick Foley attempts to break Bill Goldberg's undefeated streak!

Gotta love storyline logic as about a year ago Kurt Angle beat the shit out of Sting's son! I guess time does heal all wounds.
Oh TNA!!!!
Although I can't wait for Foley's next book where he discusses the backstage stuff in TNA. I'm sure that stuff would be aneurysm inducing!

In even bigger news, there's a 3 disc Kane set coming out. The major highlight of the set is his match with Snitsky!
And if Snitsky is jobbing out to Rey Mysterio in 2 minutes, will he still have a contract in another week or two?

Is the match their classic 60-minute draw from Vancouver? Or is it their 5-star 38 minute match from the 2007 tour of Australia where Snitsky wins after hitting a Shooting Star Press?Garbageman wrote:In even bigger news, there's a 3 disc Kane set coming out.

If not... all I can say is: 5TH MEMBER - MAIN EVENT MAFIA!Garbageman wrote:And if Snitsky is jobbing out to Rey Mysterio in 2 minutes, will he still have a contract in another week or two?
We need baby punting, foot loving, massage giving, fun Snitsky back! Some people point to the lack of Cena and The H as the reason why RAW's ratings have dropped. I see it as the fan's being turned off by having our fun-loving, happy go lucky Snitsky taken away from us.
If they don't want to bring back that Snitsky... I have a few ideas that just might work for Snitsky...
"Leaping" Geney Snitsky - We all know Snitsky has the skills to rip out a good poem as evidenced by his great reading at Edge and Lita's wedding. Why not go all out? Kids love poems and frisbees, and Snitksy loves kids. I think it would work.
"White Machismo" Gene Snitsky - Self explanatory. It's kind of like "Black Machismo" but with five times the charisma and ten times the talent. A skit where Snitsky is caught hitting on Aurora Rose backstage would be a nice touch...
Gene SnitsKane DDS - A gimmick where Snitsky steals all of Glen Jacobs' old gimmicks. The potential is limitless, a dentist one week, Unabomb the next... Need a fake Diesel for a skit? Guess who's here??? And just in time for the holidays... the return of The Christmas Creature!
Samoa Gene - Snitksy heads down to FCW puts on about 100 pounds, and gets over huge by being a legit bad ass who stiffs the fuck out of people. Finally he gets called back up to RAW where is duped on a weekly basis by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.
