Over the Limit injuries

It appears that multiple superstars were injured this past Sunday on WWE's new PPV: "Over the Limit"


A WHO'S WHO OF INJURED STARS




First up, Randy Orton

Orton is stated to have suffer a seperated shoulder during his match with Edge. It became obvious during his taunt before his RKO finisher.

Staff backstage were said to be extremely frantic about the initial injury, but seeing as he appeared on RAW the next night and furthermore was booked on the upcoming PPV "Fatal 4Way", it appears that the injury may not have been as drastic as originally stated.




Up next, CM Punk

STAPLED HEAD SOCIETY

CM Punk suffered not only a bald head at Over The Limit, but reports claim that Punk received several staples in his head after being thrown into the fan barrier during his match with Rey Mysterio.



Next on the list, John Cena

GAP TOOTH NATION

During his I Quit Match with Batista, John Cena reportedly knocked out a tooth. Cena himself confirmed this on his twitter account:

"Morning CeNation. Spent last 3 hrs at dentist. Got a tooth knocked out at OTL. Mouth numb."

Fourth injury, Batista

THE ANIMAL TAMED

Batista has been reported to have suffer a back and / or tailbone injury during one of the last two bumps in his match against John Cena.

Batista worked the injury angle on this weeks episode of RAW, entering the RAW Zone in a wheelchair, whilst being assisted to the ring by a couple of referees. Batista then went irrate during his in-ring promo, which resulted in him stating "I QUIT", whereby leaving the WWE.

Interesting to note that Batista has been rumoured to be leave the WWE soon, but due to recent injuries, Batista may have left sooner rather than later



Last, but not least, Ted DiBiase

MILLION DOLLAR KNOCKOUT

DiBiase suffered a concussion during his match with R-Truth. Reports state that the concussion was a result of a hard slap during the early part of the match. The storyline of the match was changed as a result

John Cena talks SvR 2010, 12 Rounds, Heel Turn

John Cena was recently interviewed by ESPN.com to promote the Smackdown vs. RAW 2010 videogame and 12 Rounds on DVD.

Here are some highlights:

HEEL TURN?

"That’s the thing, I’m one of those guys who on any given day can be booed out
of any building. I’m the only guy who is neither a good guy or a bad guy. That’s
because I’m genuinely myself. Certainly, guys in our industry try to sway the audience one way or the other, but like I said, I go out there and I’m me. I
have certain things that I stand for, certain things that I believe in, and if you don’t like it and you tell me to go to hell, I think that’s your God-given right as a fan. It’s one of those deals where I’m that one guy who is outside of that realm of good guy, bad guy. I’m just me, and it elicits a response both positive and negative."

WHO HE SEES AS THE STARS OF THE FUTURE

"Now is a really good time because since the inception of WWE, there has always been that one, this is the guy. But now, you have a lot of possibilities, guys like Ted DiBiase Jr., The Miz, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and even a guy like MVP. These are guys who are all on the cusp. For the first time, we have all these guys who are ready to charge the gates and make a run to try and be the No. 1 guy on Raw."

John Cena tells why he hates The Rock

The Doctor of Thuganomics has finally revealed as to why he hates Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.


WORD LIFE

In his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show, promoting his new movie 12 Rounds, John Cena was asked about what the issues he has with Dwayne Johnson were.

The beef, explained Cena, stems from Johnson's past insistence he would stay loyal to his pro wrestling roots (his father and grandfather were both pro wrestlers) even as his star in tinsel town rose.

CENA:

"He's obviously .... got his start in the WWE, gone onto movies, but in the process, the whole time while he was in the WWE, he just preached to our fans -- who are very loyal -- how much he loved the business," Cena said of Johnson. "He says he loves the business so much, but then just up and leaves. So here I am, I've done The Marine, I'm still working full-time for the WWE, I've got 12 Rounds coming out ... and everybody's asking, 'When are you leaving?'"

Cena, in a moment of unintentional comedy at its best, said he would continue wrestling even if he wins an Oscar.

WWE acknowledges Victorian Bushfires

WWE did something that no one saw coming, and acknowledged the Australian audience and the current Victorian Bushfire situation.


CENA COMMENTS

WWE programming in Australia this week, started with John Cena making a statement regarding the Victoria Bushfires in Australia.

Cena stated that the broadcast was dedicated to the memory of those lost and to the hard work of the local and international firefighters.

He also urged people to donate to Red Cross Australia.


FINAL THOUGHT

Good to see WWE cares about Australia.

I actually thought they wouldn't mention it.

Cena has finisher renamed - again

Cena just can't escape the WWE and their PG Rating obsession.


THROWING AWAY THE THROWBACK

A few weeks back, Jim Ross noted in his blog that the move would be called "The Throwback".

Naturally, fans didn't care so much about a move being renamed, especially when it's one of John Cena's. What's even more odd is the fact that all WWE commentators seem to have some sort of mind blasting memory loss, because every time Cena has hit the "Throwback", commentators go blank or shout out - "He's going for it".

Way to go WWE, rename a move and forget to tell the Commentators - Good job.

What next, ANOTHER Vince McMahon injury? -- Oh wait...


NEW NAME, NEW "ATTITUDE"

So, the name didn't "stick" - whatever the hell that means.

Now, the "FU" / "Throwback" will now be known as the "Attitude Adjuster".


FINAL THOUGHT

So the "Throwback" didn't stick -- What makes them think the lame re-name of "Attitude Adjuster" will "stick".

This PG rating is killing Raw - Long live the Attitude Era

Kids Wish Network thanks John Cena

Kids Wish Network Helps Teen Fighting Cancer to Meet WWE Superstar, John Cena

WISH UPON A [SUPER]STAR

The Kids Wish Network recently granted an exciting wish to a brave young man who has been fighting leukemia, by giving him the opportunity to meet his favorite WWE professional wrestler, John Cena.

Eighteen-year-old Anthony Thomison is a typical Texas teen in many ways, collecting football cards and trying never to miss a Dallas Cowboy’s game on TV. He also loves to play his Xbox and watch his favorite TV series, WWE’s Monday Night Raw.

Anthony’s favorite wrestler is John Cena, but the “Dr. of Thuganomics” is not just a WWE Superstar, he’s also a bona-fide rap artist and movie star who is very appreciative of his fans. This mountain of muscles with Hollywood connections is actually a gentle giant with a big heart, so with help from the Kids Wish Network, he was able to make Anthony’s dream a reality prior to WWE’s Monday Night Raw in New Orleans.

Anthony’s diagnosis of leukemia in November of 2007 put this high school student’s higher education plans and dreams temporarily on hold. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood that affects the body’s white blood cells, which would normally fight off bacteria and viruses. The disease causes abnormal white blood cells that divide out-of-control, often crowding the body’s oxygen-carrying red blood cells and the body’s platelets, which are responsible for clotting.

Leukemia can lead to bruising, bleeding problems and tissue damage, or liver damage in Anthony’s case, and the threat of infection is always lurking. Anthony has had a tough year, even losing his hair after enduring months of chemotherapy to reduce the huge number of abnormal cells in his blood.

After Anthony’s father, Mike, received a call from the Kids Wish Network a few months ago, he was given the opportunity to nominate his own deserving son for a wish. Mike soon received a response from his son’s wish coordinator, Vanessa, letting him know that Anthony would soon be granted his very own wish. There was nothing that this polite, genuine young man wanted more than “to meet John Cena in person and to shake his hand.”

The Kids Wish Network is a charitable organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses, and their wish funding specialist, Donna, was able to secure sponsors that made the family’s entire trip to New Orleans very memorable. Little did the Thomison family know that their personal “guardian angel,” Vanessa, had arranged for much more than a mere meeting with John Cena.

The family was flown to New Orleans where they stayed at the Wyndham Riverfront New Orleans. The next day, the non-stop action of the WWE, via a ride from their hotel in a stretch limousine, awaited them. But before the match, Anthony got to meet with the very gracious John Cena at the New Orleans Arena.

Mike said Cena was very friendly and welcoming to his young fan, and Anthony’s nervousness at meeting his favorite star soon dissipated. Cena not only autographed a hat and a t-shirt for Anthony, but also chatted with him for quite a while. Anthony then presented Cena with a t-shirt and hat from the University of Texas, where he dreams of attending college someday soon.

“It was so fun!” said Anthony. Of his son’s reaction to meeting Cena, Mike exclaimed, “It was super! It was worth a million dollars to see how excited and happy Anthony was.”

The weekend offered a much needed break from the worry of recent hospital stays and doctor visits. After the excitement of the WWE, Vanessa was able to arrange for other fun outings in New Orleans, such as a taste of the city’s culture at Mardi Gras World, a surreal visit to the Musée Conti wax museum and a jazzy cruise on the Mighty Mississippi aboard the Steamboat Natchez.

According to Mike, the visit with John Cena and the family’s entire experience in New Orleans was more that just a fulfillment of his son’s wish. “We loved every minute we spent in New Orleans. Vanessa and all the Kids Wish Network staff are super people,” he said.

Mike continued, “It meant the world to Anthony, something he might not have gotten a chance to do otherwise, a dream come true.” The Kids Wish Network hopes that many other dreams come true for this special young man.

FINAL THOUGHT

John Cena may be hated by wrestling fans -- But his charity work is exceptional.
