Here's today's "WWE creative just doesn't get what their product should be all about" moment.  For those of you who watched Smackdown and saw the hideous segment where Teddy Long keeled over before he could marry Kristal, well on WWE.com they are playing it up like has had a heart attack.  Well, I should say that is what they are trying to play it up as.  They actually wrote that WWE doctor Rios said, "“Mr. Long then suffered a myocardial infraction with cardio myopathy.  As a result, he is currently semi-comatose.”  Uh, I think you mean an "infarction" there Doc.  Anyway, once again we see that WWE isn't a wrestling company, they make movies (you know, the kind that bomb their first week in the theatres).  Oh yeah, and you want more proof what nitwits they have on creative (which approves everything that goes on the website now)?  Check out this gem that was in the same article. "After being rushed to a local medical facility, Long’s doctors claim the groom was suffering from hypertension, which was worsened by the ingestion of the erectile dysfunction medicine Viagra."  Boy, that is a real side-slapper isn't it?  I can't wait for the ALS and cancer storylines that are sure to follow.

Mac sent this one. ... I was watching the Northwestern vs. Ohio State game and the Ohio State offense was introduced by Joe "The Animal" Laurinitias with all the face paint and ending the segment with "What A Rush".

The London Free Press has an interview today with The Rock, in support of his new movie "The Game Plan".  To read it, click here.  There's another Rock interview in The New York Daily News.  You can read that one by clicking here.

USA Today Weekend has a story today about famous people who like GI Joe dolls.  One of those mentioned is CM Punk.  Yep, I am serious.  Thanks to Jeff Sheridan for sending that along.

MondayNightMayhem.com  sent this. ... We strongly encourage all wrestling fans around the world to tune in to a very "special" edition of The Mayhem beginning this Monday night, September 24th (beginning at 8PM ET/7PM CT), as we have just received confirmation from the "Full Throttle Energy Drink Presents: Pro Wrestling Live" event (see below for official event press release) that former WWE superstar, former World Tag Team Champion, & OVW World Champion, Nick "U-Gene" Dinsmore, will be joining The Big Mosh & Blade for his first interview since leaving World Wrestling Entertainment. Nick will be onboard to promote the big event at The Mullins Center in Amherst, MA (which The Mayhem will be giving a pair of tickets away for), in addition to talking about lies ahead next for his career. Teaming up with William Regal & "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, working alongside Eric Bischoff, the shift from RAW to SmackDown, & much more will be up for discussion with one of the most animated characters & performers in pro-wrestling history.

The New York Post has a story today talking about how former WWF wrestler Terry "The Warlord" Szopinksi is mad at OJ Simpson's lawyer for saying that he represented him in the past.  Yeah, I can't make this stuff up.
