So Sad

This is just so sad.

TMZ is reporting that former WWE Superstar Shane Gregory Helms, who is sitting in a Raleigh hospital with his girlfriend, recovering from various injuries sustained in his Thursday night motorcycle accident, is being investigated by authorities.

It is speculated -- I should note that there are no charges pending against Helms at the moment -- that alcohol may have played a factor in the crash that left him with over 200 stitches and his girlfriend with a broken neck.

Citing the police report, it is claiming that witnesses saw Helms run a stop sign on his motorcycle before crashing through a chain link fence. One witness claimed to have been hanging around with Helms at a restaurant prior to the crash and was certain that Helms had been drinking.

They did take a blood sample from Helms at the scene of the accident to test for alcohol, but it could take months for the results to come back.

If this was a drunk-driving related accident, it really is sad. And I really hope that this will wake Helms up. His friends, his family and his fans are very, very lucky that he survived this.

More Surgery News

Former TNA Tag Team Champion and one half of the greatest tag team ever -- Motor City Machine Guns -- is set to undergo knee surgery, according to his girlfriend's Twitter page.

Sabin apparently suffered the injury at an Impact taping this week, causing his match to be cut short. There is no word on how much in-ring action he will miss, though it will probably be a couple of months.

Let me just say: lame. His partner, Alex Shelley, finally returned after breaking his collarbone. I got all excited about seeing them back together again, as TNA had no idea what to do with a singles Sabin, and now, Sabin, is injured, leaving Alex Shelley by himself.

I wish for a speedy recovery for Sabin as well, and I also hope TNA doesn't create hassle for him over his medical bills. Yeah, I went there.

Neck Surgery

WWE Superstar John Morrison has announced via his Twitter account that he is about to undergo neck surgery.

This announcement truly does come out of nowhere, but it appears he is playing up his injury angle storyline on Monday against R-Truth.

There is no word on what exactly they have to do on his neck, how severe the surgery is, or how long he will be sidelined for. He could be playing up the angle for something further down the line, but there's no way to be sure right now.

If Morrison is indeed injured, that's a pretty big loss for the Raw brand, and a pretty big stall in the pushes of him and R-Truth, who have a pretty hot program right now, with R-Truth turning heel.

If he is injured that badly, I wish him a speedy recovery.

Update: WrestleZone is confirming this is legit, and Morrison will miss several months of action.

Chyna Return Covered Mainstream!

Chyna's return to professional wrestling has graced TMZ, and, this morning, it got the Perez Hilton treatment.

However, Perez is claiming that Vince was considering putting her into the Hall of Fame, and is infuriated that she would show up at a rival organization.

This is more than likely speculation and gossip on Perez's part to make people discuss things. I really don't see Vince putting her in the Hall of Fame at the moment, just because WWE doesn't seem to enjoy acknowledging her all that much. With their PG model, her antics on reality shows, stint on Celebrity Rehab and sex tape with X-Pac are definitely clashing factors.

For the record, I would love to see Chyna in the Hall of Fame, as much as WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross disagrees with me. She deserves some kind of recognition for being the first female to hold the Intercontinental Championship.

Music Video Madness!

Billy Corgan -- as in the lead singer of the 90s alternative band the Smashing Pumpkins -- has announced that several professional wrestling personalities will appear in their latest music video.

Shelly Martinez (pictured), formerly known as Ariel in WWE and Salinas in TNA, will be featured in the music video, alongside Melissa Anderson, who is known as Raisha Saeed, Cheerleader Melissa and Alissa Flash. The director of the video announced via Twitter that one of the female talents from GLOW will also be appearing in the video.

This isn't the first time a female wrestler has been featured in a music video in the mainstream. In 2007, rap superstar Timbaland included Brooke Adams (Miss Tessmacher), Layla and Kelly Kelly, Maryse, Torrie Wilson and Ashley Massaro in his video for Throw It On Me, featuring the Hives.

It's no secret that Billy Corgan is an enormous long-time wrestling fan. I am curious as to how the video is going to be.

Get Well Soon!

This is very unfortunate.

It's been reported -- and confirmed -- that former WWE Superstar and Highway 2 Helms host Shane "Hurricane" Helms and his girlfriend Karen were both seriously injured in a motorcycle accident on Thursday night.

TNA Superstar and close friend of Helms Matt Hardy has posted an update on his condition. It was reported earlier that Helms had broken his ankle, and his arm, but from what Matt says, things are much worse.

"Shane was in pretty bad shape. His face

was damaged pretty badly. His leg was broken very badly in a few places and will probably have to have several major surgeries.

"His girlfriend [Karen] was injured as well. Actually,

that seemed like it was going to be a very, very serious situation. Fortunately, over the course of the evening, it got better.

She's kind of out of the woods, I think, although she definitely has some broken bones

and major injuries. They're both right now at the hospital recovering back in Raleigh, North Carolina."

This is a very serious and very unfortunate situation. For as harsh as I am towards the entire Carolina Clique, I'd never want to see something like this happen. I sincerely hope for the best for those two and wish them the speediest recovery they can make from something as serious as this.

Engaged!

The first-ever TNA Knockouts Champion and former WWE Women's Champion is engaged to be married!

WWE Diva Gail Kim is set to marry Executive Chef Robert Irvine from the Food Network. Her fiance appeared on a television show this morning and announced that the two of them will be married in May 2012, putting to rest weeks of speculation about their relationship.

Enormous congratulations are in order to Gail and Robert, and all the best to Gail in planning her wedding, which I heard is overwhelming and frustrating and satisfying all at once.

I should also note that with Kharma coming in, there is a great shot that we could see a renewed feud and Gail can get the push she so justly deserves.
