RALEIGH, N.C. — John Laurinaitis may have crawled out of WWE Over the Limit with a win over John Cena thanks to an interfering Big Show, but the General Manager’s victory didn’t come without a serious price.

WWE.com has gotten word that Mr. Laurinaitis was rushed to the emergency room from Raleigh, N.C.’s PNC Arena, showing signs of a possible concussion, possible ACL damage to his knee and a possible spinal injury. To add to this litany of serious injuries, the executive also suffered contusions over his entire body and was said to have difficulty raising his left arm and left leg, which can indicate possible nerve damage. The General Manager may have also suffered a broken clavicle.

As of now, none of these injuries have been fully confirmed and it is unclear whether or not Mr. Laurinaitis will be able to attend Raw SuperShow tomorrow night. WWE.com will stay with the story as it develops.

Unique start to OLT…impromptu battle royal…winner gets IC or US Title bout tonight. @RealKingRegal surprising entrant.

Tyson Kidd reminds me somewhat of Dynamite Kid back in the day. He’s going to be a star. Good to see the veteran Christian on PPV.

This ‘People Power’ thing makes me somewhat nauseous. Who hired this man?! Oh, wait…never mind.

If Swagger & Ziggler don’t get it done tonight for WWE Tag Titles, they need to bag the duo biz….IMO.

What do I want from Swagger & Ziggler? Badass aggression! Physicality! Excellent tag title bout. Maximizing minutes.

Excellent tag title bout. Kofi electrifying at right time. Nice stuff. Kofi/Truth evolving.

Fatal 4Ways provide intriguing scenarios. Unpredictability. I’ve seen some great ones over the years.

Helluva Fatal 4 Way at OTL. Great effort…aggression..execution. I loved the pace. Congrats to all. THAT’s maximizing one’s minutes.

Miz is seemingly Oh for 2012. Nice splash Brodus.

Back in the day in Tulsa, if Hawkins & Reks had gone in the crowd to take what didn’t belong to them, they’d not have walked out unbruised.

This IC Title bout should be really good. Christian underrated & Rhodes has ‘it.’ great pairing.

Nice return for @Christian4Peeps….new, IC Champ. Cody will regroup.

@CMPunk vs @wwedanielbryan has the live audience emotionally invested. Get loud! Love watching the strategy unfold. Serious business.

Keep an eye on all the strikes in this WWE Title bout. Then…submissions. Ah, Utopia…

Nice Macho Man elbow off top by @CMPunk. F’N @wwedanielbryan is badass. Helluva WRESTLING match in progress.

Give em more time! Most decisions in 30 or 60 minutes! @CMPunk retains by eyelash. @wwedanielbryan freakish..Punk best in the world.

Funkhauser vs Cena…now..wife is LOL’ing.

Big Johnny beats John Cena thx to a Big Show giant right hand. Big Johnny wins by knockout.

BREAKING NEWS: THREE Top WWE Superstars RELEASED After WWE Over The Limit PPV »»

Yup, been a good long ass time since I last posted on this site. It all has to do with being disgruntled with the entire product that we call Professional Wrestling as a whole. Every organization that I watch has been lack-a-daisy at best. So why waste my time on writing about something that utterly sucks? I am only writing because of the most recent PPV Over the Limit and my thoughts on it and some other things that have been happening in wrestling that I have wanted to comment on.

First off, the not so big surprise is that Chris Jericho will probably be leaving the WWE very soon to tour with his band Fozzy during the summer. Was the only reason he came back was to have his feud with CM Punk and then hang around in ambiguity for the remainder of his time in the federation. This go-around for Chris has not shown me much of anything for the man. Not like his previous return. It just seemed to me as if he didn’t have his heart in this return. Sure it was marketing genius when he first returned that he didn’t say a word to the fans. But once he did start talking and wrestling, it was for lack of a better word–“Sucky.”

They bring back Brock Lesnar only to have him lose to the franchise man John Cena and now we won’t see him for a long time because they used up a lot of his contracted appearances they had signed for him to be at. Hence the reason they have Paul Heyman on the show. Can you only guess the outcome between HHH and Lesnar? Would they actually have HHH lose to the man that left oh those many years ago and the spur of the moment? I highly doubt it. After the feud (well whatever you want to call it) with HHH is over, you probably will see very little of Lesnar until next year’s Wrestlemania PPV, and then his contract is over. So much for another promising return of what could have been something great. Way to go WWE, you dropped the ball again.

Lord Tensai aka Prince Albert, I’m not too sure I know what in the world is going on with this man, but he did get a win over John Cena. Maybe they will have him beat Santino Marella for the United States Championship. Who knows though. Or he may just mull around in mid-card status and disappear from sight in no time to come. I wouldn’t be surprised if this happened. By the way, whatever happened to Batista 2.0 or should I say, Mason Ryan. What plans do they have for him? All I say him doing was watching matches with Primo and Epico and the manager Abraham Washington…maybe I just answered my own question. He was another big guy that came on strong and didn’t live up to expectations…that’s a shame.

Onto the PPV….(not really a detailed listing of this thing either, if you didn’t see it, tis okay, you didn’t miss much) as usual I am just stating my opinion on each match…don’t like it, don’t read the columns I write-but I have said this countless times in the past…

A battle royal that saw Christian win and has a match against either Cody Rhodes or Santino Marella… More later….

Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger…..Lots of back and forth action. Where we see Kingston pinning Ziggler. What happened to Ziggler being in the main event status in this place? I will still say that the WWE Tag Team division still sucks until they actually have some decent tag teams in the division-if they ever will that is. Between you and me, it isn’t looking very promising.

Beth Phoenix vs. Layla…..meh…..do you even care about this?? I want Kharma, doesn’t anyone else? Why are the powers that be not bringing this woman forward? She’s been cleared to wrestle and is waiting for an opportunity, and the WWE is doing anything with her. No wonder the “Divas” division sucks, and I don’t mean in a good way either….oh and the winner of the match was…Kayla, or Layla, or whatever her name is…who cares anyway??

World Heavyweight Championship Fatal 4-way with Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton…..going into this match I am under the impression that Sheamus will win after all the so-called reports saying the WWE want him to be a long term champion. It was slightly ironic that Sheamus pinned Chris to retain the title…is it a sign of things to come for Chris to be leaving?? You can probably bet on it.

Then we have Miz come out and say he is a better dancer than Funkasaurus…ugh…really?? This is a way to start a possible feud between Miz and Brodus Clay?? And then there is a match between the two…I would like to say it was a good match, but there is no way I can say such a thing. The win goes to Brodus…meh…I still think this Funkasaurus thing is stupid.

Christian vs. Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Championship…and new Intercontinental Champion—Christian!!! It wasn’t a very long match, but that doesn’t matter. My man is the IC Champ, no wonder they had Big Show lose to Rhodes, so Christian could get it…

CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship…this is probably the only match that I was looking forward to for the entire PPV.  I really enjoyed this match and by the sounds of the fans, they did too. It was probably the match of the night. I have yet to see a bad match with either of these guys. This is why Punk and Bryan are where they are at right now.  Lets hope the WWE keeps both precisely in the limelight where they belong. I was exhausted just watching the match, I can’t imagine how they felt putting on the show for all of us fans…wow…does it matter who the winner was? This damn match should have been the main event of the evening, but we know how McMahon is when it comes to these guys and his boy Cena. In the end after a very long fought battle, CM Punk won this one…WOW!! The way it ended though, I don’t think Bryan is done with Punk.

Camacho w/Hunico vs. Ryback…another thrown together match…do you have to ask who won?? Can you say squash match??  Ryback is your winner.

John Cena vs. John Laurinaitis…much as I hate Laurinaitis, I think he’s a great heel and a great character for the WWE. Lets hope the right decision is made this evening. If he loses the match, he is gone. So off we go with the match…it did have some comedy in it, actually a lot. I suppose that’s what the entire match was supposed to be about-entertainment for the fans. I would have enjoyed Punk and Bryan for the main event of the show instead of this thing. But it was what it was…Laurinaitis tried to leave the match, but after doing so, Big Show dragged him back from the curtain and put him back in the ring. And then the swerve, Big Show punched Cena in the face as Cena was about to finish off Laurinaitis. Which means, John Laurinaitis is not fired. And Big Show is probably re-hired due to his interference. Should have seen that coming. As you can guess, it was a general Cena match that didn’t have much to do with wrestling. There was a lot of time spent pissing around and doing not much of anything and this is the WWE’s go to guy? CRAZY!! Have Punk in the main event, he won’t disappoint…at least in my eyes.

For my parting words which have nothing to do with wrestling, if you are looking to lose weight and eat something healthy, there is a great product out there and it’s called Visalus…Body by Vi for short. I have been on it for only 5 days and I am down 4 pounds already…great tasting stuff too…get some folks, you won’t be disappointed….

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

Christian suffered a high ankle sprain in November 2011 and returned briefly in March but was sidelined again after aggravating the same injury. He made his return to the ring during WWE’s post-Wrestlemania tour in the United Kingdom last month but had not been seen on television.
