Bitter Hurricane Helms Blasts Shawn Michaels and Praises Triple H

During a recent episode of his “Highway 2 Helms” show on GeekWeekLive, former WWE star Hurricane Helms had less than flattering things to say about Shawn Michaels. During the show, Helms was asked who his least favorite wrestler of all time was and said it was Michaels adding that he really let him down in person:

“Shawn let me down in so many ways. I think his religious gimmick is a f*cking work. I think he is the biggest hypocrite in the business. And so many people sh*t on Triple H. Triple H always treated me as an equal. He was always up front with me. He was always honest with me. I worked with him and I teamed with Shawn. His ring work – I’m not discounting that. His matches with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania – those will be some of the greatest matches to ever go down ever, ever, ever. But him as a person, that whole religious sh*t, I think it is a f*cking work. I think he is a hypocrite. He is the biggest hypocrite in this business. I think he believes part of it. But at the same time, you have to live that life. If you are going to preach it, you have to f*cking live it. And he is tweeting all the time about hunting and I’m thinking, dude, you are f*cking rich. Why are you murdering animals? You have millions of dollars and you are out there murdering animals because it makes you happy? Oh yeah, Jesus would do that. I read the Bible and saw Jesus with a f*cking rifle on his shoulder. F*ck you. He is one of the biggest hypocrites I’ve ever seen...More?

To my friends who enjoy wresting. Was at Pizzaria Regina today when a lady in front of me was ordering. the employee thought she looked familar but he couldn't figure out from where until her hubby TRIPLE H walked up next to her. Hello Stephanie McMann! I hope I didn't stare too long!

Stephanie said they were visiting his family here and was trying to get some shopping and family time without being noticed. She seemed very sweet!

Update on the Florida Based WWP Promotion

Serena Deeb Signed for ROH's Final Battle

On November 24th, it was announced that Amazing Kong had stepped up to the plate and allied herself with Daizee Haze for the "Final Battle 2010" tag team match (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/amazing-kong-steps-up-to-the-plate/). The questions that have been floating around in the weeks since have all been in regards to Sara Del Rey and her partner. Many names have floated around, partners have been speculated upon, but now we have the official word from the self-proclaimed "Queen of Wrestling".

"I scoured the world." said Del Rey, "I searched high and low for a woman capable of standing beside me in that ring. Quite honestly, it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. It's almost impossible to find someone who is as good as me, but I found somebody. I found one woman I can trust to stand in my corner and finally shut Daizee's yapping mouth: Serena Deeb!"...More?

Raw Results: Ready, Willing and Table

Jerry “The King” Lawler wasn’t in the mood. After Michael Cole interfered in his match last week against WWE Champion The Miz – and likely cost him the title – Lawler sat impatiently through an apology from his announce partner. Before “The King” could let his fists do the talking, though, the anonymous Raw General Manager informed the two that if either of them got physical, they would be fired. Not only that, the two were forced to shake hands in the ring – and were then joined by a surprise guest.

Randy Orton used the occasion to send a message to The Miz: He vowed that he would reclaim his title. The WWE Champion informed The Viper, however, that, according to the Raw GM, he is not required to defend his title for another two weeks at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs. Miz’s assistant, Alex Riley, on the other hand, was fair game. The “Cleveland Screamer’s” associate challenged Orton to a match, which The Viper readily accepted despite nursing a knee injury he suffered on the night he lost he title to Miz. To prove that, regardless of his knee, he can still punish opponents, Orton leveled Cole with a crushing RKO. Full results.
