If you didn’t know by now Oxycodone was the cause of Andrew “Test” Martin’s death. It was ruled an accidental overdose of the drug. It’s commonly prescribed for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Of the oral medications containing oxycodone, OxyContin is notable for its sales, for controversy concerning its patent status, and for its potential for drug abuse. Oxycodone is also an addictive ingredient found in the painkillers Percoset and Percoden. (this exact drug was also linked to Heath Ledger’s and Sherri Martel’s deaths) It bewilders the mind how many people have been known to abuse this drug whether unintentional or intentional. If you find the right doctor who will prescribe this to you, you have the potential to go overboard with it and get hooked. “Hey Doc I’m in pain, give me more to relieve this problem I have.” It’s a pity that Andrew passed away, with these types of death it’s sad to see that his demons couldn’t have been laid to rest instead. May you rest in peace Andrew.

Watch out for Monday Night Raw, the Draft begins and besides that the show is an hour earlier then usual, I don’t know if I could stomach watching for that long. I think it will be in my best interest to tape the thing and just watch the parts when the draft really does take place. I am hoping there will be some matches taking place this time that are actually worth watching, but if I am taping it, it won’t matter anyways.

WWE Superstars….seems to me they had a show called the “WWF Superstars of Wrestling” (they later renamed it Superstars) back in the 80’s. No wait, I know there was, it started in 1986 and went until 2001. Another rehashing of an old idea. Will anyone really watch this show? This show started out as original matches too but then became a recap show, do I sense this happening here as well? Hmmm…

I will try to remark about TNA Wrestling in my coming articles and not just focus on the WWE. It is apparent that my dismay with the WWE is wearing thin and maybe adding something else will help to ease that dismay on the entire wrestling industry. I have looked at the next TNA PPV card and can say at least on their cards they are defending tag team titles unlike the WWE. I question Danny Bonaduce being on the thing, but it’s a dark match so I will reserve judgment until said match has actually taken place. One thing you can say about Abyss, he loves his blood to flow in his matches (yes I know this one is a gimmick match), is he a sadist or what? Sting vs. Mick Foley for the TNA Title. I thought Mick was just going to stay retired, I guess the sound of the crowd and the excitement of it all was too much to say no to. Will he win? It depends on Sting and how long he has on his contract with TNA. Stay Tuned…Now onto The Main Event Mafia (Kevin Nash, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Sting, Kurt Angle) at least there is a faction that is changing up the scene in wrestling. “Old wrestling legends against New up and comers.” Will this type of scenario last? Wait and see. So there ya go, I only touched the tip of the iceberg on TNA, but I will dive in more in my future articles. Take that D Ray Morton….

That’s my 3 cents worth, ‘til next time…
