Ringside Review: X-Pac may get the ax from WWE
X-Pac has been suffering neck problems off and on the past few months, causing him to miss a lot of important matches in recent weeks. The injury got worse when he took a bad bump in a match with Booker T on July 7.
Before the injury, X-Pac has gotten out of doing several jobs (losing) on “Raw” with various excuses and support from Kevin Nash. Now that Nash is hurt, and not there to take care of X-Pac, he has been taken off the active roster.
I believe X-Pac will be released by the WWE if his attitude doesn’t change in a hurry. He is not the star he thinks he is.
Look for X-Pac in Nashville with Scott Hall and the NWA-TNA very soon.
• Jim Ross continues to grow frustrated with how things are going backstage relating to himself and the stars of the WWE.
The man backstage who seems to worry “Ol’ J.R.” the most is Johnny Ace. Ace has been Vince’s new right-hand man the last few months, and his power is growing.
At the “Vengeance” pay-per-view, Ross and Jerry Lawler were told at the last moment that they would not call the whole show.
Some of the wrestlers considered Jim to be very hypocritical about this move. They said that J.R. and Lawler were doing the same thing X-Pac and HHH had done about not liking a storyline they were put in. They told J.R. to do what they were told to do, “be a team player and do what’s asked of you.”
Hogan said, “J.R. just reacted the way everyone else does when asked to lose air time.”
• This week, the NWA-TNA moved to the Nashville Fairgrounds, which is not a good sign. They have done a good job on the old site, and it looks better than in a very long time.
The Disco Inferno was at this week’s NWA-TNA matches. He did an interview segment in which he said he had been wrestling Barry Horowitz all over the world and had judged a pregnant bikini contest.
• Where is Sting?
I get that question every week, and I don’t know!
Every dot-com site that has something about Sting is at least a year old with their news. Sting’s old site is down, and he’s not on the roster of any wrestling group in the U.S. or Japan.
If you go online to DeathlockCentral.com, you will get today’s date, but the info is two years old. Sorry!
• Don’t forget to vote on Thursday, Aug. 1. The leaders of Warren County will be elected, and you need to smack down your vote!
