Vickie Guerrero's farewell letter...

 

It has been an amazing 9-year career at WWE. I started at WWE as Eddie?s wife, and now I am leaving with my own identity. I loved performing in front of millions of people. Whether you hated or loved me, I appreciated every moment. I gained some amazing friendships that will always be kept in my heart. It is time to turn the page and start a new career in medical administration. I have so many other things to do in my life, and the most meaningful one is graduating from college in January. (Phil. 4:13 ? ?I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.?)

 
It is time to say ?goodbye and thank you? to everyone from the WWE Universe, WWE Headquarters and everyone backstage.
 
My first ?thank you? goes to my Lord Jesus Christ, for giving me a healthy mind and body to have been able to do the exciting things inside and out of the ring. He always kept me safe in my travels, and gave me the strength to improve myself emotionally and physically year after year.
 
To my beautiful daughters, Shaul and Sherilyn ? Thank you for inspiring me to be better than yesterday. Your support was unconditional when I traveled. I still feel sad that I had to miss so many of your milestones. I love you girls with all of my heart.   
 
Linda and Vince McMahon ? I am grateful for the opportunities you gave me. Thank you for having my family feel accepted as a part of yours.

Sigh, I guess this time she won't be coming back. At least not for awhile I would assume. That's a long letter thanking quite a few people. I'm sad to see her go. She was always awesome as a heel, and always fun to watch (except when she screamed).

Now this is interesting. TNA's beat WWE to the punch by taking their biggest show outside of North America, although hardly anyone will care as Bound for Glory obviously pales in comparison to WrestleMania as a spectacle. The place only holds ~2,000, but from what I've read, it's basically Japan's Madison Square Garden, and after watching the TNA/Wrestle-1 show last week, high hopes that it'll be a good'un (even with the drastically different crowds you usually get at puroresu shows). The time difference could be a right git though; America will be 13-16 hours behind Japan. UK's not an issue as the TNA PPVs aren't shown live; they're shown the Wednesday after.

If WrestleMania ever leaves the USA/North America, and that is a big IF, then I suspect the first place it will go would be the UK - Probably Wembley Stadium. Still wouldn't go to watch it though. Those prices are too ridiculous!

Too right; I was tempted to go to the RAW & SmackDown tapings earlier this year when a friend of mine offered, but it would have cost ~?200 overall (tickets, travel & accommodation), and the tickets were pretty high up in the O2 Arena, so not worth it, in my eyes.

Wow looks like TNA is having an incredible run in NY at the moment.

If you thought that Hardy spot was good, what about

Dixie going through a table http://videos-a-10.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xap1/10508913_1464860097094090_180672828_n.mp4

You could see it coming over the past few weeks but I was thinking they would do it as 'gently' as possible, like a standing power bomb or 3D or something. That was impressively full-on. Fair play for taking one for the team.

Bully Ray definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to that spot; he knows how to protect whoever's going through the table. Hell, he's done it often enough. :P

Haha yeah if there's someone to do it safely it would be him. Although she's nearly 50... Come to think of it she's not even the oldest he's put through a table, wasn't it Mae Young or something? No ones safe :p

Mick Foley recently interviewed with The Boston Herald and revealed a text message he accidentally sent to Vince McMahon following the 2014 Royal Rumble. Foley was vocally upset over Daniel Bryan not being put in the Rumble and was apparently trying to send a text to Brie Bella, but sent it to Vince instead. Hear the story from Mick below: 

 
I was sending a text message, one I thought I was sending to Brie, and I told her I was going to get in touch with [Vince] McMahon," said Foley. "I rarely interfere in the course of WWE events, but when I do, I like to think my opinion carries some weight. I sent what I thought was my message to Brie, saying, 'Give Daniel a hug and tell him how wrong I think this whole thing is.' I was pretty new to the iPhone. My son looked at my phone and said, 'Dad, you just sent that to Mr. McMahon.' My next message was, 'Oops.'

Ugh I just don't get this fascination with her :/ She looks like a child, especially when they have the likes of Lana, Renee and Aksana...

 

She "looks" different for starters. Which is good, considering the women's division is nothing more than plastic barbies normally. But she can also wrestle, which I don't think WWE has done a particularly good job of showcasing recently. Needless to say, she needs someone who can go in the ring to really highlight why she's so good. Maybe AJ could help that out, if she EVER comes back now.
