WWE Superstar Tyler Reks was reportedly escorted off a plane on Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. WWE sound engineer Marc Lanciaux posted messages on his Twitter and on his website's blog regarding the situation but there seems to be more to it.

Lanciaux wrote this on his blog about an unnamed WWE star:

"One of ‘our guys,’ one of the new wrestlers that recently started traveling with the show walked out. Though I recognized him, he’s so new that I’m not sure what his name is. After today there’s probably no good reason to try and find out either. I will just call this unknown wrestler ‘Einstein.’ Turns out that Einstein was sitting near the wing, and out the window, witnessed a terrifying (to him) event. To his horror, one of the flaps that make the plane fly or land or whatever it is that those moving parts on the wing do… moved! GASP! After witnessing this, Einstein freaked out, telling the flight attendant that he was a pilot himself and he knew that wasn’t supposed to happen. He was sure the plane was unsafe. He started getting louder and louder, and more and more obnoxious. The decision was made. Time for Mr. Einstein to go bye-bye. Our flight turned around and my double date with both Ginger and Mary-Ann was ruined. On his way out the door, Einstein mumbled that if anyone else on the plane didn’t want to die, they should get off the plane too. I’m sure that the waiting TSA knuckle-draggers had a field day with this guy."

Best matches of all time... IMO anyway...

(no particular order)
1. Kikuchi/Kobashi vs Furnas/Krofat. You'll never see a crowd this rabid ever again.
2. Misawa vs Jumbo Tsuruta... their first singles match together. (well actually second but this is when Misawa is unmasked)
3. Kobashi vs Takayama in '04 as Kobashi is defending the belt. Takayama brings it here.
4. Kobashi vs Misawa in '03. Woot son. Woot!
5. Kobashi/Misawa vs Kawada/Taue sometime in '94 or '95... don't remember which. Best spot of the match is when Taue uses his chokeslam on Misawa from ring apron to ring floor outside. omg at dat

Honorable mention...
KENTA vs Nakajima last year sometime in March

reaction to that promo

WTF at Bryan getting a pop, his own music and coming out last

You or I would get a big pop walking out if we were the babyface in a dark match. :lol

I went to a Raw or Smackdown in 99 where Viscera and Mideon got a huge pop for a corporate ministry squash match against some jobbers in the 2nd match that was taped for Shotgun.

The shitting in things is nothing new. ( Who was it that shit in Lawlers crown? the clique right?)My theory is that since they can't kick each others asses they resort to passive aggressive acts, ie shitting in things... that is just imo tho.

Looks like doing a redux of the Jarrett/Hogan promo from last week to make sure that Double J comes off as the heel this time.

Jeff should be the face. Hogan is a "face" who's best friends with a "heel"
That still blows my mind that nobody catches on to this loophole

It worked in WCW with Sting/Luger. Luger was hilarious in that role also.

Pretty good show by TNA tonight, though I don't care about the Jarrett stuff, the Dudleys, or the Nasities. Just keep the Dudleys and Nasties fueding for a year, in short matches, and I'll take that instead of them making others worse.

Thanks, seems weird they uploaded this 12 hours ago? Why would they put the whole show online for free before it airs on tv? Trying to sabotage their own ratings? :lol

Probably was uploaded as private, and then made public after the show aired.

Generation Me had some slick moves in that one

That move where "Jeremy" rolled backwards out of the ring onto the apron into a moonsault was pretty amazing, same goes for "Max"'s blind corkscrew blockbuster and the More Bang for Your Buck finisher. Should've kept their name as The Young Bucks though, 'Generation Me' sounds goofy and changing their names to "Jeremy" & "Max" only exentuates their similarities to the Hardy Boyz.

*edit, trailer for Davey Richards vs YAMATO from Dragon Gate USA's Janurary 22nd PPV 'Freedom Fight';

Um, TNA seem to have uploaded the entirety of last night's iMPACT onto YouTube themselves.

Edit: Oh, we already know that. Fair enough.

I can't believe I'm saying this but WWE needs to rehire Val Venis and have him teach their main event how to sell. He took a BME and eventually fought back but he at least made it look like his ribs were killing him the entire time. Meanwhile Cena gets locked in a figure four for 20 minutes and then squats the Big Show like it is no big deal.

Is Muhammed Hassan ever going to come back? His intro music was so good. Really got the crowd heated up with the arabic vocals. :lol

Great performer with decent mic skills. Was on his way to be the best heel WWE has had since The Rock.

Thanks, watching right now.

Damn, that McMG vs Generation Me is exactly the kind of match I'd like to see more often. Unbelievable how many awesome and artistic moves they've did.
Click to expand...

I think they're going to feud with each other at some point for sure, so they'll probably have a couple great PPV matches.

TNA is really about a half-step away from being a very good show... I liked the pacing last night compared to what's been happening before Hogan/Bischoff came in.

Fuck, Cena couldn't sell a glass of water to a thirsty man in the desert.

Hell in the Cell vs Randal "bag shitter" Orton. Orton's had the punt built up as this career killer. Puts people out for MONTHS.

Orton punts Cena to win the match.... Cena then IMMEDIATELY gets up after the pinfall acting like nothing ever happened.

Cena's a fucking hack.

WWE/Vince failed the shit out of Hassan.

He was such an awesome heel. Great look, solid wrestling ability - just basically everything you ask for. It sucks he was singled out and blamed for Vince and WWE's irresponsibility.

Hassan was great because he wasn't coming off like a terrorist at first. It's when he started doing shit like praying and random goons would come out that doomed him.

Yeah, because Cena was improvising. Management told him to stay down and then take a break for a few months but he just screws the whole thing up. What a hack.

Maria says she's looking to leave WWE soon to pursue other work
Jan 15, 2010 - 11:16:27 AM

WWE Diva Maria says she's looking to pursue other work opportunities beyond WWE so she can settle down and start a family. She didn't give a timetable on when she plans on leaving WWE, though.

"I'm starting to do other things and it's partially because one day I want to be a mom and I want to get married and you can't really do that when you're on the road," Maria told Sky Sports News on a U.K. promotional tour this week. "So I've got to find a job that will allow me to do that."

Maria is releasing an album this spring and she will be appearing on the upcoming "Celebrity Apprentice" show hosted by Donald Trump where she shows off more of her personality beyond the "ditzy Maria" character on WWE TV.

"I've been with WWE for five years, so I don't know when is going to be the end," she said. "But I am looking at outside projects right now and doing other things."

I think I read somewhere that Mark Copani was going to be at wrestlefest this weekend. AFAIK it'll be his first wrestling-related appeareance since WWE released him. Wonder if he's considering a comeback?

You're not getting it. (Or you're just being an ass) He no sold a move that's put others out.
You just don't "no sell" another guys finish.
He buried Randy in the process by making him look weak.

Don't be dense about it.

So both Maria and Mickie may be out of the WWE within the next 6-12 months. I guess more air time for the talented and entertaining Bella Twins.

Remember when Big Show would dominate a body part of Cena all match, but only minutes later Cena lifts him over his shoulder to win it all? It is extremely stupid, but he is Superman!

That would be nice. But knowing Smackdown and RAW right now, he probably wouldn't be pushed enough. Either he won't wear a suit that doesn't impress Taker, and unless he's Triple H's buddy, won't advance too far on Raw.

Ezekiel Jackson
Evan Bourne

Zack Ryder

Jerishow

It'll be $3.99 @ amazon mp3 store in 2 weeks

Totally not worth it
Sheamus FCW theme comes off better than his WWE theme and it's the same song, just edited differently.
