-- There is a cable war going on between Fox and Time Warner Cable which has Fox demanding that Time Warner pay one dollar per month per customer in order to continue receiving their family of networks including Fox, FX and MyNetworkTV. Time Warner has refused their proposal and they are threatening to pull all Fox stations off the air this Friday. Hence, Time Warner Cable subscribers would be unable to watch Friday Night SmackDown. Fox has taken out ads in several markets saying that Time Warner is trying to deprive its customers of shows such as House and American Idol. SmackDown is listed in several ads, including a few spots with WWE talent addressing the possible loss of the program. (source: http://www.f4wonline.com)
-- During a recent interview, the wrestler formerly known as Kizarny, Nick Cvjetkovich (now performing under the name Sinn Bodhi), gave his unique take on the backstage atmosphere in World Wrestling Entertainment.
"Working at WWE was also awful because there is so much politics and back stabbing you never know who your enemies are because they are all gutlessly and unaccountably hiding in the shadows," he said.
"I wasn't given a straight reason why I was released. One minute I was told how unique I was and how great of a work ethic I had. The next minute they had nothing for me. I have heard many different theories. I guess I just didn't fit their mold of cookie cutter. Not enough abs showing I guess even though in the ring I can run circles around every ex-NFL player or jacked up underwear model collecting a paycheck in the WWE developmental system. Vince and his billion dollar case of ADD wants Ken Dolls sports entertaining against other Ken Dolls at the moment. Me looking weird or different didn’t compute with the tunnel vision that WWE sometimes has even though Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Hot F*****g Topic retail stores are all the rage with kiddies."

Kizarny should've totally ripped on the WWE in character.

Kizarny's one of the biggest cases of WWE cutting someone's legs out from under them ever, I think. Everything wrong with both the gimmick and its execution falls squarely on their shoulders.

Kizany got the short end of the stick. Sure, his first and only match wasn't anything to be proud of. But how many other guys get kept around and get given so many chances with less to offer?

Kizarny's first match sucked, maybe he's a great wrestler but he certainly didn't show it against MVP.

Actually, he had two matches as he was in a battle royal a few weeks after his debut.

Time Warner Cable sucks. How many times do they have to try this type of thing and have it backfire against them before they realize it won't work? Ultimately, all they are doing is ceding over more ground to Comcast.

Why is everybody suddenly assuming Rajah's credible? Posting highlights from an interview elsewhere and talking about ads that are running on tv and websites. Nothing non-credible here. It's no "sources say" or "the word is".

Could a gimmick that strange have ever been popular in WWE?

Actually, he had two matches as he was in a battle royal a few weeks after his debut. I was there for that! He came out with most people during the break and was one of the ones to bother to work the crowd during the break (Goldman, Hawkins, and Ryder were the others. Chavo might have, but he came speeding out late from the side of the stage as though he couldn't find his way to the entrance ramp. ;D). He did some weird thing where he sat bouncing on the ropes and then he hung upside down on the rope like a kid on a swing to look at the crowd. Unfortunately for him, while his elimination was amusing, it was forgettable in comparison to the eliminations of Chavo, Jesse, Kendrick, and the utter failure of R-Truth and the Colons to gang up 3 on 1 against Kozlov at the end of the battle royal.

I heard goode things about Kizarny as a worker, but that character sucked. It was way too cartoonish for me and nobody speaks in that carny language anymore.

Yep, this is pretty much my opinion on it. Based on what I saw in a YouTube shoot he did with some random guy, I have to agree. They wanted him to be a babyface right off the bat instead of doing the creepy Doink-ish thing he had done effectively in the past and at FCW, eventually building to a midcard face turn on a minor wave of fan support. Because of PG, his more outlandish additions to his character (a stuffed animal covered in fake blood...bunny, maybe?...tied around his waste during his entrance, for example) got the following response in FCW from Dusty: "Oh, Thin, Thin, I love it, baby, but you know we got to be PG, if ya weel. Ya can't keep that, baby, no blood. But I love it, baby."
