After Sunday’s TNA Hardcore Justice pay-per-view, Bill Goldberg re-tweeted a message from a fan: “Sorry Crimson, a spear w/out a Jackhammer just sucks.”


Crimson seemed to take the re-tweet personal: “@Goldberg while you were gettin stretched by Chris Jericho I was dodging bullets for this country… #whosnextnotme #destroyinglives”


Goldberg responded to that: “Who are you again????”

Of course, it should be noted that that last blurb is more due to Goldberg’s ignorance of new talent (not insulting the guy, he honestly didn’t know and even said so himself after a fan had pointed out who Crimson was) rather than any sort of jab at Crimson. I also doubt that the re-tweet itself is any kind of jab and just him reposting a fan’s comment that reminisces of Goldberg’s finisher, which was a spear followed by jackhammer.

Still, it’s a rather snappy (and humorous) comeback from the former WCW champion.

According to this page, John Cena is looking to change his ring gear and is asking fans for ideas. Oh joy, more CeNation merchandise to sell to the kiddies. Hey, John. Here’s an idea. Why don’t you go for a yellow shirt with big red block letters that says HULK CENA RULZ! LOL!

Seriously, what’s the point of asking fans for ideas on new merch? It’s just going to be the same shit with different colors and slightly different typeface. It’s almost as bad as Mortal Kombat’s ninja color swapping. Even Hulk Hogan had SOME variety in his merchandise back in the day. And there’s only been a couple variations of the iconic Austin 3:16 shirt during his sizable reign on top…

This is getting lazy, gents.

As mentioned before, The Rock will be available as a playable character for fans who pre-order WWE ‘12 through any participating retailer and Gamestop pre-orders will come with alternate attires for The Miz. The alternate attires will be The Miz in a suit and his “I’m Awesome” t-shirt. It’s being reported that the Wii version of WWE ‘12 will automatically come with The Rock as a playable character and The Miz’s alternative attire.

That’s cool. Nice to know that when I pick up my Wii copy, I will be able to play the Rock and begin fantasy matches with Fruity Pebbles.

…to TNA On-Demand

Unfortunately, hardcore TNA fanboys who were hoping the true WWE Champion would show up on TNA tapings (with the belt, no less) are no doubt heartbroken by the news that CM Punk has indeed signed a new contract with WWE.

With that having been said, I think it’s pretty cool that TNA is taking advantage of the recent CM Punk rumblings by unearthing some stuff from his brief stint with the organization (from the early days of TNA when they were running weekly pay-per-views as opposed to weakly television shows). Almost makes me think of the lost opportunity WCW had when Steve Austin hit it big in the WWF ages ago by showing some of his old matches.

Roaming and unemployed WWE World Champion Cee Emm Punk was spotted in an alley in downtown Chicago wrestling against a giant blow-up doll.

Onlookers reported that while Punk was taking a short cut through the alley, he was ambushed by the doll via splash off the top of the building. Miraculously, the doll wasn’t critically injured in the fall, but Punk took the attack as a challenge for his one true WWE championship. The fight lasted a good two minutes, with Punk attempting to lock-up with the doll before giving up and using a pin to pop the balloon, much to the concernation of the crowd.

The crowd soon cheered loudly, as Punk raised his championship title into the air and shouted “I’m the best in the world, pal! Nobody can stop me! BRING ON PEPSIMAN, BITCHES!”

At the moment, Pepsiman has not responded to Punk’s challenge.

From his Twitter account…

As of this blog post, CM Punk is still champion. How long will this last? Tune on RAW to find out how they ruin this great moment!
