John Morrison Injured At WWE Live Event

At a RAW house show last night in Kingston, Ontario John Morrison suffered what looked like an ankle injury in his match with Vladimir Kozlov. It basically looked like Evan Bourne's previous injury where he did a dive to the outside and landed awkwardly. He was able to continue enough to hit Starship Pain right after for the win. He then limped to the back with assistance from the ref.

Cody Rhodes interview - why he'll get over on Smackdown vs. Raw, says he's taking Christian's spot

WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes says he doesn't believe he had a "character" on Raw being part of Legacy. He says he's looking forward to actually being someone more than just a second or third-generation wrestler on Smackdown.

"I really wasn't a character on RAW. It was 'here we have our second-and third-generation superstars.' Now, fans will have the opportunity to see who Cody Rhodes is," Rhodes told Tim Baines for the Sun newspapers in Canada.

Rhodes said his character "needs to evolve" after being introduced to the audience with Legacy. He says he's looking forward to being in the ring more-often on Smackdown, which has led to two stand-out matches the first few weeks he's been on the brand.

"Raw was more of a variety show. Smackdown is more of a wrestling-based show. That's my area. It gives me a chance to showcase myself," Rhodes said. "I think things are going to be changing for me along with the brand change. As a fan, I like to see the talent evolve and I need to evolve."

Rhodes also talked about wanting to take the spot of a veteran, like Christian, because he believes he has more to offer in the current era. It could be passed off as an in-character comment as a heel knocking a babyface.

"Smackdown is like a varsity team with a lot of talented freshmen," Rhodes said. "Somebody like Christian was a star of the 1990s, but I don't think he can have an impact like guys like Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston and myself. Vince (McMahon) believes in a survival of the fittest mentality."

Linda McMahon makes Keith Olbermann's "World's Worst Person"

Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon and a 12-page campaign booklet she mailed to voters in Connecticut was subject to biting criticism last night on MSNBC's top-rated weeknight show, "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."

The public skewering took place during the "Worst Person in the World" segment, a nightly feature targeting individuals with whom Olbermann disagrees. The verbal assault landed McMahon, who is running for Senator in Connecticut, the not-so-coveted silver medal.

Describing Linda as the "wrestling candidate," Olbermann sarcastically pointed out how ill-timed her ad is because she champions deep-water oil rigs, which caused the ecological and economic catastrophe now facing the Gulf of Mexico.

"Offshore oil drilling will create jobs and increase energy supply without cost to the taxpayer...unless you count the death of the fish, and the beaches, and your coastline," Olbermann said mockingly. "Remember, when you see the BP gulf spill, think 'McMahon for Senate!'"

In this case, the old adage that any publicity is good publicity might stand true. Viewers predisposed to agreeing with Olbermann’s liberal stance aren't going to be potential voters in the Republican primary, while the base of the Republican party often embraces those who are deemed the Worst Persons in the World.
