J.R. on Fake Tans
"Here's a suggestion to many of the wrestlers I saw on TV this week, even out the faux tan. No one needs to look like a Sunkist product."
Gee, I wonder who he was referring to?
Ricky Ortiz Released
Standard line from wwe.com:
WWE has come to terms on the release of SmackDown Superstar Ricky Ortiz as of today, Aug. 8, 2009. We wish Ricky the best in all future endeavors.
Raw/SmackDown/ECW Supershow -
Denver, CO
WWE returned to Denver months after the Pepsi Center pulled the plug on the date of its May event because it coincided with an NBA playoff game.
News and notes:
Randy Orton defeated Triple H in a steel cage match to retain the WWE Title. Orton won via escape after Legacy interfered. Hunter hit Cody with a chair and Pedigreed him on it to end the show.
CM Punk got the wind knocked out of him at the end of his ladder match with Jeff Hardy. He didn't move for nearly 10 minutes afterward and had to be carried out...More?
Triple H joked with Fox31 when he spoke about the "Denver Debacle". He says there are no hard feelings--that it was business for both parties. "If I met Kroenke in a dark alley I'd open the car door and let Vince McMahon out. I'd let Vince go get him."
Vince has stated that he sent Kroenke a bill for $300,000.00 representing what it cost them to relocate the show and lost revenue. So far, a lawsuit has not been filed.

SmackDown Results: Family Conundrum
Before the bell could ring to start their World Heavyweight Championship rematch, Jeff Hardy and CM Punk attacked each other, quickly bringing the WWE Universe into a state of absolute bedlam. Amidst the mass hysteria, WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon emerged, declaring that the two Superstars would still have a World Heavyweight Championship Match with a “special guest enforcer,” handpicked by The Chairman himself.
Later that night, to the shock of the WWE Universe, Matt Hardy emerged as Mr. McMahon’s special guest enforcer. While Jeff was confronting his brother outside the ring, Punk used the distraction to attempt an attack on his adversary. But when Jeff moved, it was his elder brother that took the hit instead. Moments later, when it looked like Punk may pin the World Champion, Matt pulled the referee out of the ring. As Matt confronted Punk, Jeff rolled his opponent up and the guest enforcer himself counted Punk’s shoulders to the canvas. The former ECW Champion then left without further action or comment.
Following the bell, an enraged CM Punk viciously attacked Hardy for the second week in a row, ruthlessly incorporating a chair to catastrophic ends. SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long responded by making the blockbuster announcement that Jeff Hardy would again face CM Punk for the title at SummerSlam, in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match.
