The Sandman Falleth & more!

Barry Molea, the Wrestling Mole, back again with the latest in wrestling rumors and news. The wrestling world is all a buzz with a plethora of grapple gab and the mole is here to spit it all out.

Whatcha gonna do when the Wrestling Mole comes after YOU!

At this past week's WWE taping a video regarding Ron Killings' Smackdown debut was shown. Although it would appear that TNA has zip legal holds on Killings' "The Truth" moniker, the former TNA wrestler will now be referred to as R-Truth.

Truth is...no one really cares.



In related news - from here on out all WWE shows will be carry a PG rating. This adds Raw, which previously was listed as TV-14, to other WWE shows already carrying a PG rating. The WWE released this statement:

“All WWE television programs are rated PG in recognition of the growing appeal of our programs to all ages and as intergenerational family viewing. If parents make the decision to allow their children to watch our programming, we encourage those parents to watch with their children. We urge parents who allow younger children to watch our programming to explain that what our Superstars do on television should not be emulated or attempted in real life.”

So what will that mean as far as actual show changes? WWE storylines are already juvenile and fairy tale like. Will the Divas have to start wearing Wendi Richter style ring attire? If it means never having to watch Edge & Vicki swap spit on TV ever again then the WWE have my vote.



In The Sandman Falleth Department

Former ECW / WWE wrestler James "The Sandman" Fullington was arrested following an altercation at a restaurant in Westchester County, NY. The incident, which happened during a celebration this past Sunday for wrestling legend Lou Albano's 75th birth, began when a loud drunk Fullington started, as one source claimed "smacking around the lights like they were a speedbag." Fullington then went after the owner of the restaurant as fellow wrestlers Tim "The Zombie" Roberts and Gary "Pitbull" Wolfe attempted to take Fullington outside and calm him.

According to reports, the owner then threw a beer bottle at the former wrestling superstar from about 3 feet away. Then bleeding, Fullington broke free from Roberts and Wolfe chasing the owner into the kitchen and started tossing full dish-racks of glasses. Fullington then found himself at the end of the barrels of five Yonkers cops and a SWAT team. Initially resisting arrest, Fullington was carted off by ambulance waking up the next morning in a Westchester county jail cell.

Fullington's charges include a felony second-degree assault charge and he will undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

With an arrest record a mile-long, who in their right mind invites The Sandman for an evening of drinking and birthday celebration? Unless you're just looking for some free party entertainment, this is one invitation you just don't send out.

You know life sucks when "The Zombie" has to restrain you. Maybe Fullington and Nick Hogan can now become pen pals. Hardcore.



Your "None-TV" RAW Report

There were two dark matches before the live WWE Raw broadcast began to air. In the first Charlie Haas defeated a local jobber with a school boy roll up. In the second match Jamie Noble defeated a jobber named Tyrone Jones with a knee drop from the top rope. (zzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Michael Cole got booed as always when coming to his announce position. (whatever)

During a commercial break Lance Cade and Chris Jericho riled up the crowd by teasing that they were leaving if they didn’t show some respect. By time the commercial was over they were back in the ring. (they should have left)

During another break JBL was cutting a promo before the 6 man tag match, only to be cut off when the cameras started rolling his own theme music. (appropriate)

When the show ended Kane came back out but got a spear from Batista. JBL also got an FU. Cena then got on the mic and teased a Batista vs John Cena match. (WHO CARES!)

Until next time kiddies...do your homework...the WWE is gonna need some new writing talent...SOON!
