And thanks to Jen again for this one... Former WWE Superstar Ken Kennedy is hinting at a new project on his Twitter page. Kennedy wrote the following:
"Working on a "secret project", brainstorming, and playing Red Faction: Guerilla. It's Halo meets, Gears of War, meets Grand Theft Auto!!"
"Hint: "secret project" will involve doing the only thing that I've ever wanted to do: ENTERTAIN!!"

TNA anyone?
Jim Cornette on who he thinks was the most overpushed female wrestler of the past
Q.---Who is the most overrated wrestler of the past, and today?
Asked by Joe in Bourne, Massachusetts.
A.---The whole idea of promoting wrestling is to make the fans think a wrestler is better than he is, so to me, overrated is not the term. OverPUSHED is a different story. Who has been pushed on a major league basis way more than their talent or attitude should have dictated? One has to look no further than the mass hypnosis Vince McMahon worked in getting the Ultimate Warrior over. A body with no substance, Warrior was stunningly bad when he entered the business, and never got much better. His work sucked, he was dangerous, never tried to get better, he couldn't cut a coherent promo, he had a superstar attitude, he was a prick to many of his fellow talents, and he was pushed solely because of Vince's fascination with steroided-up male bodies. He had a 3 or 4 year run before both his bad attitude and the public seeing through him coincided, and a 6 week nostalgia run 4 or 5 years later. The only legacy he left was that he made a lot of money undeservedly and had really bad matches with some really good workers. On the female side, look to the female version of Warrior, Sable, and pretty much repeat the above paragraph. Couldn't talk, no emotion, couldn't work and wouldn't try to learn, star attitude (she did hide it well toward those in power--for awhile), and was pushed only because of her ability to pick a good plastic surgeon and Vince's apparent sexual frustrations. I've seen hotter ice sculptures. Killed her husband's career by powerbombing him on TV and no guys would sell for him (or in Steve Austin's case, even WORK with him) after that.
