La TNA innove, raison possible de l'absence d'Hogan à WM,Laurer fait une folle d'elle

Le Wrestling Observer nous rapporte que la TNA serait sur le point d'annoncer un tout nouveau type de combat pour les lutteurs de la Division X, combat qui serait présenté lors du PPV Destination X. Le combat appelé "Elevation X" serait rien d'autre qu'un genre de Scaffold Match.

Pour ceux que ça intéresse, les lutteurs de RAW ont eux congé hier, ils seront à Boise en Idaho ce soir, et à Salt Lake City demain... Ça intéresse vraiment des gens de savoir ça?

Une des raisons qui expliquerait l'absence de Hulk Hogan à WrestleMania 23, serait en grande partie due aux indiscrétions d'Hogan lui-même, quand il a dévoilé les noms des possible futurs intronisés du prochain Hall Of Fame de la WWE lors d'un passage au "Bubba the Love Sponge" le mois dernier. Vince aurait été furieux et les pourparlers auraient alors cessés. Depuis Hogan menace de se joindre à la TNA à qui veut l'entendre. Mais un combat comme Hogan Vs. Shane McMahon avec Great Khali dans son coin est-ce vraiment une grande perte pour WrestleMania et les fans?

Joannie Laurer était de passage au "Larry King Live", sur CNN, jeudi dernier pour commenter le décès d'Anna Nicole Smith. Elle était très incohérente, et a eu une altercation verbale avec un proche ami de la défunte. En gros, elle a encore fait une folle d'elle. Le plus drôle c'est que l'ex-China de la WWF, ne connaissait pas Anna Nicole Smith et n'était là que pour statuer que les médias ont ruiné la vie de Smith et que les gens aimaient ou détestaient cette dernière.

La WWE fut très fière d'annoncer que le DVD "The Marine" , qui met en vedette John Cena (sortie mardi dernier), est en tête du classement des films les plus loués de la semaine. En fait, il est maintenant évident que les films produit par la WWE connaissent plus de succès en location que sur le grand écran, ce fut le cas également pour See No Evil qui mettait en vedette Kane.

Vous trouverez la transcription complète du passage de Joanie "Chyna" Laurer au Larry King Live. Contrairement à ce qu'on avait rapporté Chyna avait rencontré Anna Nicole Smith lors du tournage du film "ILLEGAL ALIENS" qui doit sortir à la fin du mois, mais les deux femmes n'étaient pas amies. : ICI
voici quelques extraits:

Citation :

JOANIE LAURER, COSTARRED WITH SMITH IN HER LATEST MOVIE, "ILLEGAL ALIENS": I totally saw that coming. I feel that...

KING: You saw it coming?

LAURER: Well, from my perspective.

KING: Meaning?

LAURER: Meaning, I mean, I just -- everybody's so sad now, trying to -- this little woman has been ridiculed from a joke. People have taken advantage of her, you know.

You start to go why -- why are you doing this, you know?

I've had those feelings -- last night, I got in a huge fight with my friends -- I thought were friends. I keep going back and...

KING: Over what?

LAURER: ... you know, you never know who's your friend and...

KING: A fight over what?

LAURER: I just...

KING: It was a...

LAURER: ... it's hard for people to relate that when you're dealing with public scrutiny nonstop, the -- you know, everybody is watching you, everybody is looking at you, and everything is usually toward the negative. And she's done, you know, reality shows and I've done -- I've done them, too. And I've been involved in last night and...

KING: So you feel she got a raw deal?

LAURER: I feel that.

KING: OK.

LAURER: I feel when they talk about -- when she talks about her feelings, that they're the same exact as mine.

KING: Monique Goen in New York, a close friend of Anna, wife of TrimSpa CEO.

How is your husband taking this, Monique?

MONIQUE GOEN, SMITH'S CLOSE FRIEND, WIFE OF TRIMSPA CEO ALEX GOEN: He's devastated. He is on a business trip in Spain and he's getting flown in to come as soon as possible. But he's totally devastated.

KING: Do you buy what China is saying that... GOEN: Not at all...

KING: ... I mean the ways Anna -- you don't agree?

GOEN: Not at all, Larry. I just was in the Bahamas visiting with Anna three weeks ago -- myself, John James. We're close friends of Anna. And when I asked her about Joanie Laurer, her name, China, if she was friends with her, she said not at all. And it seems to me that China keeps putting everything back on her and trying to put himself in the limelight.

But the pure fact is we loved her as a family member. We never, you know, we were always there for her, whether through thick and thin. And for people to all of a sudden come out of the woodwork like they know so much about her is just -- it's actually funny to me.

KING: But does she have a point when she says that people made fun of Anna Nicole...

GOEN: Yes. I mean people made fun...

KING: ... they didn't treat her well enough?

GOEN: ... of her. People made fun of her and they loved her. It was love and hate with Anna. I mean she had so many fans and she loved her fans. She was -- but, you know, it was a love and hate thing.

But Anna was in her -- she just had a big heart...

LAURER: That's making me very angry.

KING: Well, you'll get a chance to answer that anger...

GOEN: She just had a big heart.

KING: ... because Monique will remain, Joanie will be returning.

When we come back, we're going to talk to Dr. Cyril Wecht, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Eric Brunstad, the Marshall family attorney, her former husband.

And then we'll come back with this panel and others. And China will get a chance to respond.

We're discussing the passing of Anna Nicole Smith.

Don't go away.

Citation :

KING: China, you want to respond to what Monique said, that you were not a friend of Anna Nicole's, and that they take umbrage that you go around saying you were.

LAURER: I'm shocked, because that wasn't the point. The point was I didn't speak to Anna a whole lot afterwards because -- I tried to, but she wouldn't return -- she didn't want to.

KING: Didn't want to be a friend of yours?

LAURER: I don't think it's that she didn't want to be a friend of mine, I think it is just that you want to be alone. You know, it is -- you kind of don't want to go out or -- she asked me many times, come over to the -- to go over and hang out at the pool with her. And then at those times, I didn't want to go out.

First of all, I think it's so extremely rude what that woman just said, because this is not about me getting publicity. I get my own, and that's exactly what I was talking about.

(CROSSTALK)

LAURER: ... get some TrimSpa, exactly what I'm talking about.

KING: Monique, is that what you think she's looking for, Monique?

GOEN: Well, when I was at Daniel's -- and my husband was at Daniel's funeral, I asked her, why isn't there any family members? What about your friends? And I remember China being on your show when Daniel just died. And as far as I'm concerned, taking some low shots about -- right away she went to all these allegations, like she knew all this stuff about Anna. But yet when I talked to Anna, she said that she kind of was like a stalker and she would call her and Anna didn't want to return her calls. So for someone to make claims like they know something about someone when they haven't even spoken to them for a while, I just...

LAURER: Well, why is this about me and (inaudible)?

KING: Just for credentials, that's all. But we'll get off that now. We want to go back to Anna Nicole.

LAURER: Exactly.
