WWE) JR Speaks on Savage,Mysterio,Brand Extensions and More
Jim Ross has updated his blog at www.jrsbarbq.com. In this edition, he denies the recent report of that that Randy Savage comments are barred from his website. He also talks about the brand extensions and Rey Mysterio. Here are a few things he had to say: On Randy Savage Comments: I was also informed of something someone wrote on a website about us barring Randy Savage comments from this site, especially as it relates to the WWE Hall of Fame, which was totally false and completely fabricated. These comments were written as if I had written them myself. I realize many folks do the best they can to run honest websites and tell the truth as best they know it, but there are many wrestling sites that exist that are simply loaded with premium, horse manure. Not all, but some. On The Brand Extensions: Clint- Will the WWE Brand Separation ever go away? My guess would be no as the WWE seems committed into building its 3 brands, which wont happen over night by the way, and has its challenges especially when injuries begin taking their toll.
Schmozzes & Screwjobs 05.15.07: Edge Screws Cena Part III of V
All that being said, welcome to another edition of Schmozzes & Screwjobs where today we have the third instalment of our look at the Rated R Superstar Edge screwing over John Cena for the WWE Championship. Also in store is my detailed explanation of why Matt Hardy can and should be World Champion. All that and much more so keep readin'! Curtain Jerkin' -I know that last week I promised my thoughts on John Cena's action movie The Marine, but it's been a long week and I haven't had time to watch it yet. Still, maybe next week. -Edge's World title win and subsequent move to the Blue Brand opens up a whole lot of new scenarios for potential feuds for the Rated R Champion. Sure, right now it seems that the only real challenger Edge has is The Animal Batista, but within the next couple of months, Booker T (hopefully sans the King gimmick) will be back, as will Rey Mysterio and of course Mr Kennedy is now only going to be out of action for two months maximum.
ECW Original, Sabu, among Tuesday releases

In separate announcements made on wwe.com, the Fed announced that it, "has come to terms on the release," of both wrestlers. Though Vito had not been seen on WWE TV in many weeks, Sabu, real name Terry Brunk, had been a regular member of the lineup on ECW on Sci-Fi. The former ECW champion, part of the "ECW Originals" faction, had been seen in recent weeks mixing it up alongside Rob Van Dam, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer against various incarnations of the New Breed, which included Marcus Cor Von, CM Punk, Kevin Thorn, Matt Striker and Elijah Burke. Sabu's WWE career began just prior to the second One Night Stand (in 2006), as he built to a World Heavyweight Title Match against Rey Mysterio.
