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.

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.

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.

Good Faith Deal?

TMZ is reporting that former WWE Diva and now current TNA Knockout Chyna -- born Joanie Laurer -- is working for the Orlando-based company without a contract.

It is being reported that Chyna is being kept on a very, very short leash, and they note that this will be Chyna's first time in the ring in 9 years. She also has an offer to wrestle in Japan.

I don't know how I feel about this no contract, good-faith, short-leash deal. It always seems to burn either TNA or the talents involved. I also hope that Chyna's issues don't rear up again.

One of Maxim's Hottest

Huge congratulations to WWE Diva Kelly Kelly, real name Barbie Blank, for making it onto Maxim's Hottest 100 women in the world list.

Kelly made it to number 82, and to be featured on the list at all is an enormous accomplishment.

Also making the list at number 72 is former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler, who left WWE in 2005 after her stint on Dancing With The Stars.

Both of the lovely Divas deserve a huge congratulations. Stacy is quite well-known to Maxim, having done a few cover spreads and making the list before.

For Kelly, however, I do believe this is the first time she's made it onto the Hot 100 list, and for that, congratulations!

Injured!

It appears that WWE SmackDown Diva Alicia Fox is injured.

Reports making their way around the internet is suggesting that Alicia Fox, real name Victoria Crawford -- whose sister is Christina on Tough Enough -- suffered what is speculated to be a separated shoulder after taking a particularly nasty clothesline from the newly debuted Kharma, better known as Awesome Kong.

If that's the case, best wishes and a speedy recovery to Alicia Fox, who has been relatively injury free for her WWE career. It is being said that she landed the clothesline on her shoulder.

Looks like Kharma really is looking to inflict damage. Ouch!

More on McCool's Departure

Multiple websites are reporting that WWE Diva Michelle McCool is indeed finished with the company.

Apparently her decision to leave came months ago, as she is getting ready to settle down and raise a family with her husband, WWE Superstar The Undertaker. The plan to split up LayCool has been in motion for months, but WWE decided to hold off once they confirmed Jersey Shore's Snooki for their premier event this year. As you will recall, LayCool teamed with Dolph Ziggler to take on John Morrison, Trish Stratus and Snooki.

It is being reported that Michelle left WWE on the best of terms, and that there is even an office job waiting for her if she ever opts to come back in some capacity. Also, there is speculation that if Tough Enough gets picked up for a season two, there may be the offer of her becoming a trainer for a season.

TNA Return?

It appears that Kevin Nash is a touch miffed that the WWE is not going to put him back in the ring as a full-time performer.

The WWE Legend known as "Diesel" was signed to a Legends deal back in January.

Nash has been very vocal against WWE's Youth Movement, where they have been trying to push new stars in the wake of slipping ratings and fan boredom. Kevin Nash claimed when Miz won the WWE Championship, that it "exposed the whole business as a work".

Knowing now that WWE does not plan on abandoning their Youth Movement, Nash took to his twitter to ask his fans whether or not he should go back to TNA.

I wouldn't recommend it just because I think they're starting to have a little death rattle, but what do I know?

Leaving?

The "Loser Leaves WWE" match this Sunday at Extreme Rules may wind up having a winner that surprises you.

PWInsider is reporting that WWE Diva and first Divas Champion Michelle McCool is set to leave the company, her last match being this Sunday against her former LayCool teammate Layla.

The reasons for Michelle's departure are unknown at this time, but speculation is that she may want to spend more time with her husband, WWE Superstar The Undertaker. There is also talk that she may want to start her own family with the Deadman, and this could be why she is leaving.

Either way, I'm devastated that I won't get to see a Kharma Implant Buster with her name on it.

Gone!

Last night, it was Chris Jericho's time to leave Dancing With The Stars.

Lasting much longer than most people thought, Jericho's first real threat of elimination came the night before, when he and his dance partner Cheryl Burke scored a 22 in their routine, which was described as stiff and lacking intensity by the judges.

Jericho has stated that he will return to WWE when his DWTS time is up, so expect to see him back in a few months.

Leaving?

Various wrestling websites are reporting that former WWE World Champion CM Punk's contract is set to expire this year...and there is a great shot that he may not be re-signing with the company.

Reports are varying for the reason, stemming from frustrations over a lack of push, to just the clear case of burnout. The reports are stating that it's because of the uncertainty of Punk's contract negotiations that he's been used less than usual.

If Punk is indeed leaving because he is burned out, then I say go for it. Where is he going to go, TNA? If he needs some time to himself to relax after working the hectic WWE schedule for five years with no breaks, then I say let him.

Kharma!

After weeks of speculation, WWE has confirmed that former TNA Knockout Awesome Kong, real name Kia Stevens, will indeed be named Kharma.

Tonight's vignette of her on Raw saw her snap the head off of a blonde Bratz doll, before laughing hysterically. The camera then panned up to her face, before fading out to "Harm". Harm then became Kharma.

I would like to be the first to say great video production and what a great way to bring her in. I'm glad WWE has taken their time with this and not rushed it.

Speculation going around today is that she will at first be involved in a program with WWE Diva Beth Phoenix, which is a prospect I've been salivating over ever since Kong announced she had signed with WWE.

I would also like to congratulate Awesome Kong for breaking the mold of the typical cookie cutter Diva and looking like a real woman. Congratulations on achieving your dream.

Injured!

Heading into his match at Extreme Rules this Sunday, former WWE Head of Talent Relations officer Jim "Good Ol' JR" Ross has found himself injured with what is speculated to be a broken hand.

Jim Ross found himself on tonight's Raw in a match against one of his opponents this Sunday in Michael Cole. Jim Ross proceeded to beat him within inches of his life, splitting Michael Cole's mouth open fiercely, leaving blood on JR's cheek and all over Michael Cole.

There is no word if this injury is going to affect Jim Ross going into his match this coming Sunday in a match that was now announced to be a Country Whipping Match.

I hope they won't pull Jim Ross...maybe he'll just pull a Bob Orton and start smacking people around with his cast. That would make JR that much more epic.

Resurfaced!

TMZ cameras recently caught up with former WWE Superstar Dave Batista, who left WWE for what he hoped to be the greener pastures of the Mixed Marital Arts (MMA) industry. It was his hopes to be the next Brock Lesnar, though UFC President Dana White decided he didn't want to take another shot on a former WWE Superstar, especially since Batista has no collegiate amateur wrestling background like Brock Lesnar.

Dave Batista then entered into negotiations with Strikeforce, at the time considered to be the competitor to the UFC. Unfortunately for the former WWE Superstar, UFC purchased Strikeforce sometime ago.

Batista confirmed to TMZ cameras that thanks to the purchase of Strikeforce by UFC, his deal with the company fell through, leaving him without an MMA deal.

Perhaps if he's looking for a big money payday, a return to WWE isn't so out of the question now.

No Return For Keibler

Despite appearing on Tough Enough this week as part of the "Cheerleader Challenge", former WWE Diva and Baltimore Ravens cheerleader Stacy Keibler wants everyone to know that she is not planning a full-scale return to the ring.

"For right now, it is something I did with them [WWE],

but I don't have any plans for wrestling officially and

coming back and being on the road every week.

It was great to be back in the family, and to see everyone

and to watch the kids. It's really fun to see them so eager

to become a part of the business."

Stacy's interview was on Monday Night Mayhem, and is available at MondayNightMayhem.Com. Other topics include what it was like working with former WWE Diva Trish Stratus again, along with her feelings on being a part of "The Golden Era" of WWE Divas.

Back Down To FCW

It is being reported that Kaitlyn's profile has been re-added back to the Florida Championship Wrestling page, indicating that WWE has sent the NXT Season 3 winner back down to developmental for some re-tooling.

Kaitlyn has not been seen on WWE programming in ages, and it seems as though creative has done nothing with her since she won the competition some months ago.

This could be a good thing for her, perhaps they are seeing to it that she gets more training before she becomes a bona fide Diva, since her experience on the show was very limited, but with all the recent signings and the coming debut of Awesome Kong, there is a good shot that this is a bad omen for her.

I should note that a good portion of Divas that get sent down to developmental -- like Christy Hemme -- wind up getting released.
