WWE.com just posted the following:

BOSTON – Jeff Hardy was found unconscious in a stairwell at his hotel in Boston today, and was rushed to the nearest emergency room.

Due to privacy issues, WWE is not releasing the name of the hospital.

WWE.com will have more information if it becomes available.


My thoughts:    There is no other information on this, so I cannot confirm is this is indeed real or if this is a angle for tonight's Survivor Series PPV.   Hopefully more information will be released sometime today.    Visit http://www.wrestlingnewsarena.com   for more information throughout the day.

-- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a story online this week noting that former WCW & WWE superstar Lex Luger is still wheel chair bound and is in rehab working to overcome his physical issues.  

Luger suffered a nerve impingement in his neck which some refer to as a "Spinal Stroke" which led to him being temporarily paralyzed in late 2007.

Our best wishes go out to Luger in his recovery.

--   WWE.com caught up with former Womens Champion Trish Stratus to find out what she has been up to since leaving WWE.   Stratus commented on her new show in the works called "Stratusphere" and how the crew didn't realize who she was at first.  

Stratus also comments if she should ever make a return to the ring saying “I’ve heard that Beth Phoenix and this new Diva Natalya have talked [trash] about me,” says Stratus with a gleam in her penetrating eyes. “I’ve said it before, but if they ever decided to call me out, I wouldn’t hesitate to step into the ring.”

--   As of 10:28am EST World Wrestling Entertainments stock are continuing to fall, as of right now the stocks are at $8.81 a share.   This is down from yesterday's $9.31 a share price at closing time yesterday.   We will keep you updated throughout the day.

--  Randy Orton appeared on FCW's latest episode last night.   Orton started off by saying that he came to the FCW arena to scope out the future potential WWE talent.    He said that as he went and met with the men and women back stage he admitted that they all have potential, and put over that the arena had 5 rings back stage so that the developmental talent could practice.   He went on that the arena had AC, Heat.

Orton then talked about his time in OVW when he was a developmental talent, there was only one ring and when talent wanted to practice they would do it in an old barn.  The buildings they would practice in would have holes in them and have birds nests everywhere.    He said the one difference between the talent in FCW & the talent in OVW is the fact that many of the OVW talent are now superstars in World Wrestling Entertainment. 

Orton spoke that as he walked through the back he sensed a hint of nervousness among the talent back stage.   He admitted that when Ric Flair, Batista, & John Cena came to FCW they were probably nervous as well but it wasn't because they were good but because Orton beat them all.   Orton said that was the single reason why he was the biggest commodity in World Wrestling Entertainment and that he would walk way with the World Heavyweight Title at Survivor Series.

18 years ago today, WWE superstar The Undertaker made his official WWF debut as "Cain the Undertaker" during a WWF Superstars Taping in Rochester, NY. He won a squash match against Mario Mancini, the match didn't air until mid-December, so most think of Taker's debut as Survivor Series 1990.

WWE's stock closed today at $10.33 down from $11.73 the day before. This is the lowest the stock has ever dropped in years. We'll keep you updated throughout the week on the numbers.

So far out of the 65,000-70,000 seats that WWE will make available for Wrestlemania 25, 40,000 tickets have been sold so far. For the first week sales, 27,000 tickets were bought from fans in Texas, while 13,000 came from outside the state.

 World Wrestling Entertainment officially finished up its European tour over the weekend, running 22 dates and grossing between $12-$14 million. This makes the tour one of the most, if not the most successful overseas tour in the company's history. Almost all tickets were sold months ago so the economy didn't play a factor with the numbers. A higher percentage of kids were spotted at the shows than previous European tours.
