Speculation continues that Joey Mercury (Matthews) (Adam Birch) will be returning to WWE by January. Joey cut an in ring promo at a recent MCW (Maryland Championship Wrestling) show "announcing" that he was returning to WWE, but in exchanges with myself and friends he suggested that the MCW announcement was or may have been a "work". The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is not taking Independent bookings after 1-1-09. Read into that what you will. Certainly Mercury would be an asset to WWE and why he has not already been offered an opportunity at TNA is a mystery as he would add star power and experience to the TNA X Division and lockeroom. Quite a while ago Joey had a "try-out" in a TNA PPV "dark match" teaming with Johnny Swinger against the Motor City Machine Guns in a very good match, but it lead no where for him nor Swinger. Mercury was released from WWE for a wellness violation. He has been "clean" since. Joey lives in Louisville, KY where he has been active in OVW since it ceased being a WWE Development Promotion.

Anyways, as the title says, I will provide my predictions for Cyber Sunday. [...]   CBlog XXVIII- No Mercy, RAW and Cyber Sunday By Cassidy Haslett on 8 October 2008 I know it’s been a little while since I’ve done a blog, but I’m back to give my thoughts on No Mercy, RAW, and the upcoming Cyber Sunday pay-per-view on October 26 (which, coincidentally, is CM Punk’s birthday and he is also the featured star on the poster). Let’s start with this past Sunday’s No Mercy [...]   CBlog XXVII- RAW, SmackDown and No Mercy By Cassidy Haslett on 18 September 2008 I did not post a blog last week because I did not feel that RAW was really worth posting a blog about. It was okay, but nothing much to discuss. This week, there is a bit more to discuss and I also wanted to provide my thoughts on SmackDown and the current line-up for No [...]   CBlog XXVI- Thoughts on WWE Unforgiven 2008 By Cassidy Haslett on 9 September 2008 The 10′th WWE Unforgiven in Cleveland was just awesome and worth the $39.95 I paid. Sure, every match was not great, but I look at the overall when I judge a pay-per-view. Here are my thoughts on Unforgiven:   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. It was nice to see Randy Orton make an appearance on RAW, even though it would have been [...]
