The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Bob "Hardcore" Holly may be on his way out of WWE. Holly, who is now 45 years old, is not being used on WWE TV right now and it's being reported that creative has no plans to use him in the near future. It is believed that Holly would need someone like The Undertaker to vouch for his return to the ring, and if something like that does not happen, he may not have a chance at returning. Holly is known for working very stiff in the ring and carries an old-school philosophy of making rookies earn their "stripes" by working them over very hard during bouts. Vince McMahon has always had a good relationship with Bob Holly, which is why he always seems to bounce back following absences, but this time around some backstage are not so sure that will happen again.

CBlog XXV- WWE RAW, Rey and Unforgiven By Cassidy Haslett on 2 September 2008 RAW was average to me this week. Granted, it may have been better had there not been spoilers on every single wrestling site or in every wrestling email I got after RAW was taped this past Sunday.

With Cena gone from television for who knows how long, I for one will certainly [...]   CBlog XXIII- RAW, Unforgiven & Ortons Injury By Cassidy Haslett on 19 August 2008 I was disappointed with this week’s edition of RAW. It seems to me that RAW is starting to head down a steady decline heading back to where it was before the Draft. I hope I am wrong, but areas of RAW are starting to become bland again.   CBlog XXII- Thoughts On WWE SummerSlam 2008 By Cassidy Haslett on 18 August 2008 After Hell in a Cell between Edge and a returning Undertaker was announced for SummerSlam, I knew I had to order it. In my mind, I think the Hell in a Cell Match was worth the $39.95 I paid. I knew that it would be good, but it turned out to be an epic. I [...]   CBlog XXI- WWE Releases Six More By Cassidy Haslett on 15 August 2008 In WWE’s efforts to “clean up” the roster, they have released five more WWE Superstars and a WWE Referee. None of these releases come as a major surprise and I support all of them, because it means they are getting rid of the old and pretty much useless and, hopefully, bringing in some new talent. [...]
