As noted earlier here on the website, Paul Heyman has posted an article at the UK Sun website commenting on WWE's "ill-conceived" Jeff Hardy hospitalization storyline over the weekend, which he says is downright bad for business. After stating that it would be "rather hypocritical" for him to point fingers about whether a storyline crossed any lines, Heyman asks, "What was so wrong about the storyline? Was it that WWE has blurred the line on its own in-house website, which is where news like Eddie Guerrero's death or the Chris Benoit family tragedy has been first broken? Was it the eerie feeling some people had on the morning of a big show, hearing about a top star being found unconscious in a hotel, invoking memories of Eddie and even Brian Pillman? We're back to the issue of 'taste'" Heyman adds, "For some people, the manner in which WWE presented this storyline twist was just revolting. The callous view taken by WWE chairman Vince McMahon and those around him, not even taking into account how brazenly insensitive this storyline may be viewed, is yet another in a long line of demonstrations by McMahon that getting people talking is paramount." Heyman continues to discuss the other reasons WWE simply viewed as "low brow" entertainment and unable to secure coveted advertising partners.
Reader Darren Bloch sent this in: "I was looking for some new apps for my G1 phone, happened upon a review for phonefusion's voicemail plus (video voicemail) and then I figured I would watch a video demonstrating it on the ZDnet blog page....low and behold it was Stevie Richards (aka Michael Manna) giving the demo."
Linda Hogan's 19-year-old boyfriend Charley Hill tried to get a restraining order against Hulk Hogan, but a Florida court doesn't believe Hulk is out to get Charlie and has denied the request. Charley claimed Hulk "dangerously followed" him in his car a couple weeks ago and "pulled up next to him and stared at him" at a stoplight -- a crime in no states. Charley says he "fears [Hogan] will attempt to injure or kill him" because Linda is his girlfriend. The aspiring seaman also claims Hulk tailgated him and intimidated him on another occasion, and thinks Hulk is even more dangerous because he had weapons charges against him in 1979. Hulk's Hogan's lawyer David Houston tells TMZ.com, "This is just another blatant attempt by Linda Hogan to try to defame Hulk Hogan's character. We commend the judge on seeing through this ridiculous stunt and denying these baseless claims."
