WWE.com released the following

Randy Orton was involved in a motorcycle accident resulting in him re-injuring his collarbone. Orton had initially injured his collarbone last June at One Night Stand, during his confrontation with Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship.

As a result of re-injuring the collarbone, Orton will be out of action for three months.

i dont know, didnt they say john cena would be out 6 months (way past royal rumble) and he was the 30th contestant?

They might just be doing this to pull a fast one at summer slam.

Don't know, but Tazz replaced Foley last FRI I read, didn't watch.

If ECW is really in trouble, could see Tazz move back full time as SD's color man as reports were that I'm reading that whoever replaced Tazz on ECW did an alright job.

I've heard that Matthews could have a future as a commentator but he's really green, too bad there isn't a Heat or Velocity anymore.

Yeah I was kinda thinking that myself, but wasn't too sure. In the interview it says he had only been riding for a month, and I find it hard to believe Orton would start riding a motorcycle when he's doing rehab.

Orton is a work. Anything on WWE.com is not to be trusted.

Foley told a local newspaper in NJ that the commentating job hasn't gone as well as hoped and most likely will let his contract run out at the end of this month.

I think he can handle ring action, not on a regular basis or every month but just like he did at WM a few years ago in a hardcore match with Edge, think he could wrestling in PPV type special matches a couple of times a year.

Yeah, Ziegler as of now if he continues to pitch this well, maybe not this well as his run of 38 IP of scoreless baseball to start off a career will end eventually but if he's anywhere close to being as good as his minor league #s the past few seasons would indicate, he should have the lead for the closing job next season in ST.

Street, I just don't see how he can come back and for the price he'll probably get even in a "down year" for him as a 7th-8th IP arm. I'd deal him if I'm the A's and just cut my losses with him, I doubt he'll ever be a anywhere close to where he was earlier in his career.

Maybe package him along with a pitching prospect not named Cahill/Anderson/Gio, and maybe another prospect or two in the A's top 10-20 to get a legit hitter.


A.Brown, Casilla, Blevins, Devine, Ziegler look like good bets to be in next year's pen. And then you could have somebody like a Meyer/Braden being the long man who could also spot start when need be.

Carignan and Demel are doing very well in the minors and could challenge for a roster spot by midseason next year, although Carignan is gonna need to cut down on his BBs but everything else about those two college closers the A's drafted in the 06 draft relatively early looks like they're good to go to be solid RP prospects in the next year, year and a half at the latest.

Then you have guys Marshall, the submariner LHRP who was on the A's team in 07, was cut and then signed back in the offseason doing well in the minors. Remember before last season, he didn't pitch above A ball I believe so he was clearly overmatched but one season in the minors this year has helped him a lot. He could also be a fixture in the pen sometime in the future if he continues to do well, believe he's in AAA right now as is Wing, who is another LHRP who was an AAA all star this past season.

A's pen looks bright as I brought up earlier and that's not including the likes of a HRod, Lansford/Bailey, both who still could find their way back to being a SP prospect but since moved to the pen for each of them especially Bailey who really struggled this years as a SP, they've looked very good and Bailey at 24 like HRod could be a fast track pitcher within the next year, while Lanasford again still at 21...could be moved back to the rotation by the start of next year.

Wow, wrong thread.

lol...

^fail.

Well yeah, I posted it in the wrong thread.

From Prowrestling.com:

According to the U.K. Sun, Mick Foley will be heading to TNA after his contract with WWE expires. The article includes a statement from Foley's friend, "Mick's body cannot handle a full time schedule, even in TNA. But he's hell bent on doing everything he can to further his legacy and put them on the map. So Mick's plan is to wrestle select dates, like Sting currently does."

I thought he'd only make appearances, but a match against Abyss would be cool if he does end up going to TNA.
