And now, onto the news…

Suspended! Suspended! BAH GAWD, SUSPENDED!!!: World Wrestling Federtainment Corporation Incorporation Inc. Corp. has suspended Revolution co-founder Randy Orton! Orton! BAH GAWD, ORTON!!! for being, in their words, "an ass".

Here's what really happened: Randy thought it would be a "nice touch" to his feud with new WWE Undisputed Other World Champion Roy Mystereo Junior to dig up the corpse of Roy's brother "Latin Heat" Eddie Guerrera! Then he was planning to walk around the arena with him and propping him up to make it look like he was still alive! Just like in "Weekend At Bernie's", only funny! But then his widow, Vickie Sue Guerrera, said she had "issues" with that proposed angle! So Orton gave her an RKO right into Eddie's hollowed-out grave! Then he pooped in her gym bag! Even though she probably doesn't own one! And it was the best exhumation-turned-widow-beating angle ever!

EVER!!!

What may shock you is that the decision wasn't made by figurehead commissioner Vince MacMahon, nor was it made by Bastard Johnny Ace. The suspension was actually enforced by Oldline Onslut's very own Webmaster Rick Scherer, charging Orton with committing several acts of "douchebaggery".

Is it just me, or are there are a smattering of jeers these days for Spinning World Champion John Ceno? What is up with THAT?

The New Generation: A lot of newcomers and re-returners have been finding their way to the WWE recently. Because you're all a bunch of stupid marks, I thought it might prudent to give you some brief background into this list of new WWE faces I like to call:

A LIST OF NEW WWE FACES

• Armando Jose Estrada Allejandro Essa Rios joined the WWE after a lifelong career in the Cuban military, and brother, is he ever pissed off about the trade sanctions!!! Look for him to make an immediate splash on whichever brand (Raw, Smack! Down, Impact) he chooses to sign with. And he's not coming alone! Check out his first protégé (Cuban for "client"):
• Umagla. Insiders are calling this man "the Sika for a new generation." While we don't know if he'll live up that kind of hype, one thing is for sure; Umagla is one tough mutha! Half Samoan, half Dutch-Irish, this man is fully EVIL!!!
• Giant Silva. Manager Duhvari knew that if he ever wanted to take out The Old School Ordertaker Who Looks Exactly Like He Used To for good, he'd have to find someone who was freakishly large, because that plan worked so well for Giant Gonzales. Will Silva try to "get the band back together", bringing Kurgan and Golga back into the fold? BANK ON IT!!!
• "Prince of Punk" Sharon More. I have no idea who this douche is.
• Gummer Scott. Not much is known about this sexy newcomer, except that he's definitely winning this year's King O' The Ring PPV.
• The Test. The former husband of Stephoney Helmsley-MacMahon-Test-Undertaker had taken some time off to, in his own words, "get off steroids". With those distractions out of the way, perhaps now he can live up to his true potential, such as jobbing to Chris Masterpiece.
• Harry Boy Smith. He's a member of the famous Heart Family of wrestling, which can only mean one thing: he's fucked up. And I'm saying this right now: if he even thinks about the nickname "Canadian Bulldog", SOMEONE'S GONNA BE UP TO THEIR ASS IN LAWSUIT!!!
• The Dick Brothers. With a PhD in pain, a Doctorate in in-ring trickery, and a Bachelor in double-teaming-while-the-ref's-back-is-turned, identical twins Wang and Cock Dick have all the tools necessary to climb to the top of the prestigious WWE tag team division.

And of course… there's one VERY IMPORTANT newcomer I haven't mentioned here. Check out my interview later in this column!!!

How Did You Score?

Drop me a line at [email protected] and let me know how you fared!!!

Or don't. I don't really care.

Lord of the Ring: As you all know, Sean McMichaels will team with a WWE newcomer against Vince MacMahon and Shane O' Max at the upcoming Backdraft PPV. I recently spoke to "the man" himself. What follows is the EXCLUSIVE, JAM-PACKED and SACRELIGIOUS transcript:

CB: Are you there, lord? It's me, Canadian Bulldog.

G: (BOOMING VOICE) Who?

CB: DON'T PRETEND LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM!!!

G: Oh, Bulldog. Right. Sorry, I haven't had a chance to respond to your lame prank e-mail yet, but…

CB: Okay, that's great. Shut up. Question number one: Why are you helping out WWE when NWA T&A (National Wrestling Alliance Tits & Ass) so clearly needs your help?

G: I'll be honest with you, it was the wellness program thing. Being all-seeing and all-knowing, I figured it would be better to let someone ELSE deal with the drug-testing crap, for one night at least.

CB: Question number two: Why did you take away my cat Buttons when I was six?

G: Now, now, Bulldog. We agreed that this was all going to be about wrestling, right?

CB: Right, right. I forgot. Let's skip to question number three, and one that I feel a lot of fans want to know about: Why hasn't Triple HHH had his comeuppance yet?

G: Oh, but he will. He will! Muhuhuhuhahahahahahahaha! (LIGHTNING BOLTS CRASH ON THE GROUND)

CB: Hey - you're not supposed to laugh all evil like that!

G: (Mumbles) Are you weren't supposed to be alive after that fishing accident in 1988…

CB: What was that?

G: Oh, nothing. Nothing. I was just remembering about how Edge stole your catchphrase last year…

CB: Oh. Okay. Question number four: Are you considering a manager for your big match?

G: My people are in "preliminary talks" with Brother Love right now. By the way, how is your "book" selling these days? A little slow, huh? HUH?

CB: Yeah, as if you'd know… Question number five: Are you pissed about the whole JLB thing, him calling himself a "Wrestling…"

G: Oh, he'll get his, don't worry! Muhuhuhuha…

CB: Look, just cram it with the laughing already, okay? Question number six: With it being so close to Easter, are you thinking about trying to get your son re-hired?

G: But… he's not my son, he's just… well, I mean, I guess you're ALL my children is some ways, but, I just… look, you realize you're going to hell for all this, right?

CB: Thanks for the compliment!!! Question number…

G: Look, I gotta run. They're doing some PR work for the pay-per-view. I'm supposed to "try" to get out of the Masterlock. Like that's going to be a challenge.

CB: Can't I just ask you one more question? I'm just wondering what commentator Joe E. Styles will say whenever you take a monster bump? I mean, wouldn't that be taking your name in vain?

G: No more questions! I HAVE SPOKEN! This interview… IS OVER!!! (hangs up prayer)

CB: May someone have mercy on his soul!!!
 

If there's anyone (or any supreme being) out there you want me to interview, drop me a line at [email protected]. I'll be back next week with more news. Unless I have to meet my maker before then: I saw I have an appointment with him on Wednesday. Hmmm, I don't remember putting that in there. Lord knows what that's all about… 

And remember, if you heard it here first, it's… Inside The Ropes.
