Also Bourne states he will be wrestling on this Thursday, July 23 on Superstars on the WGN. He will be taking on Jamie Noble.

Also Bourne talks about his recent t-shirt that has hit the WWE ShopZone, his recnet tripos overseas and his friends in the WWE. You can read about this and more here.

Here are an few highlights from JRBarBQ website:

JR Talks Hosts for Allied Powers DVD: I did think that Miz and Morrison were unique choices to host the DVD and that someone like an Arn Anderson amd/or a WWE HOF’er might have offered more of a historical slant to the production but as is often said, “This is a young man’s game.”

JR talks with Edge after surgery: I talked to Edge mere minutes after his Achilles tendon surgery last week and he had a more positive attitude about returning to the ring than most would. Edge has been faced with many challenges over his career and if any one can return and be as good as they were before they were hurt then it will be him. However, we should all be realistic about this situation as Achilles tendon injuries can be devastating for an athlete that maintains a schedule like Edge. My money is on Edge to return ready to rock, be more popular than ever and perhaps even possibly having a one on one match with Chris Jericho at WM26 which could be a show stealer. Yes, that’s all speculation but a guy can dream, can’t he?

-Bruiser Brody Anniversary of his death: Hard to believe that Bruiser Brody was senselessly killed today in 1988 at the age of 42. The wrestler who stabbed Brody to death in a Puerto Rican shower at an arena was tried and found innocent. The judicial system works in mysterious ways. Brody was arguably the best all around brawler I ever saw and was also one of the most fiercely independent individuals who ever laced up a pair of boots. Insiders either hated Brody or they liked and respected him. I have friends who still can’t stand the late Frank Goodish and his free spirit but I miss the guy and always enjoyed being around him.

FreeBird Terry Gordy Passed Away: Also on this date in 2001 Terry Gordy died at 40 years of age. The former Freebird was the greatest in ring performer I ever saw when Terry was a teen. Gordy never lifted weights or participated in organized athletics or likely even graduated high school but his in ring timing and natural abilities were amazing. I have yet to see any one 16-17 years of age that even remotely compares to Terry Gordy nor any one in any developmental program or indy circuit. Read the full entry go here.

-WWE.com has posted new photos of diva Layla, in “Wall to Wall Beauty”.

-Chris Jericho will be a special guest star on IFC’s Z Rock this Sunday night at 11/10 CT. Jericho plays himself as he rocks with the “Z Brothers” band as they play a kids’ wrestling-themed birthday party. (Photos/Watch)

According to IFC.com: “Z Rock is a comedy series that follows three friends leading a double life: By night they’re a hard-partying rock band and by day they’re a kids party band. Z Rock is (kinda) based on the true story of the band Z02 (brothers Paulie Z and David Z, and lifelong friend Joey Cassata) and gives a satirical look at the dark underbelly of the rock n’ roll dream.

“The boys’ dreams finally come true: they play a wrestling-themed kids party in which they get to dress up in tights and capes. Pulled Pork Paulie, Joeylicious, and ChippenDave put on quite a show. But a newly coined phrase gets Joey in trouble with one of his idols: Wrestling legend Chris Jericho.”

-WWE.com has posted an interview and graphic footage on Edge’s Achilles surgery.

-Big Sexy Kevin Nash, who turns 50 years old today, Happy Birthday!!!! Nash was born on July 9th, 1959.

Here are a few highlights from Jim Ross JRsBarBq.com:

*Jerry Brisco called me today from a Tampa area “medical facility” aka a hospital having returned to his room a few minutes earlier from the recovery room after finally undergoing heart surgery early Thursday morning. Jerry said he was sore albeit relieved to finally get the surgery done after it was postponed a couple times over the past two weeks. The doctors traveled up an artery in Jerry’s leg to perform the repair on a couple of birth defects in Brisco’s heart. While there the cardiologists found another couple of small issues in the form of more tiny holes in the heart that had gone undetected but those matters were taken care of during the course of the surgery. Jerry came through his heart procedure with flying colors and is expected to go home perhaps as early as Friday. Jerry should be at 100% in 2-3 months but knowing him he will be chomping at the bit to get back to work earlier. I know Jerry was feeling better because he said he was hungry for some J.R.’s BBQ. We’re going to try and accommodate him.

*Edge, who as many know recently tore his Achilles tendon, had surgery a couple of days ago in Birmingham, Alabama under the watchful eye of the best orthopedic surgeon in the world, Dr. Jim Andrews. Dr. Andrews has operated on literally a who’s who in WWE and WCW over the years and even performed surgery last month on future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre’s passing arm. I communicated with Edge from the hospital and from his home in Florida and, despite the extremely untimely setback, the “Rated R Superstar” was in as good a spirits as one could ask considering the situation. Edge knows what it’s like to be sidelined for an extended length of time by a serious injury therefore he knows what it will take to get back into the game. While in Birmingham, I suggested to Edge that he have someone get him some Dreamland BBQ but he refrained because he “was Jonseing” for some of our Chipolte Ketchup of which will be taken care of next week. I think we have Edge “hooked” on the best ketchup in the world. Dr. Andrews felt that Edge’s surgery was a success but stopped short of providing Edge with an exact return date. Mother Nature will have a say in determining that date but one can assume that it will be no less than 6 months and likely a little longer. I do think that Edge can be back for Wrestlemania if his rehab and physical therapy goes well and he doesn’t suffer any unforeseen setbacks. If Edge can successfully and effectively return to WM26 in Arizona it should be a significant boost to the show.

8It looks as it the King is actually going to run for Mayor of Memphis as a special election is apparently going to be held in Memphis in about 90 days. The position of Mayor of Memphis, Tennessee is a full time position and one cannot hold another job, as I understand the matter. Jerry has often talked seriously, yes we did talk seriously on occasion on our many, many road trips together, about how he would like to do something positive for his hometown. Jerry certainly isn’t running for Mayor for the pay day but as an old school, public official who genuinely cares for his hometown and wants to make it better for all who live there. I heard an interview that the King made on a Memphis radio station where he talked about the grueling, weekly travel we undergo about 51 weeks a year for WWE and how that can wear on a person. ( I can definitely relate to that.) Point being is that Jerry has been announcing on Raw since 1994, with the exception of a short interruption in service along the way, logging some staggering miles. Plus, the King will be 60 this year and I can easily see Jerry Lawler being at the right place at the right time of his life to be a galvanizing force for the apparent racially divided Tennessee city of Memphis.

-Matt Hardy has posted on WWE Universe about his recent surgery he had on July 2nd.

-The reason behind Rudy Charles left TNA, was because Charles contract was not re-newed by TNA Wrestling reports The Sun. His main purpose in TNA was to assist on the creative team, thus TNA no longer needed his assistance anymore. You can reads the story from The Sun here.

-Commercial Appeal.com reports that Jerry “The King” Lawler stated this morning in a scheduled appearance on WGKX-FM KIX 106 that he is going to run in the City of Memphis’ special mayoral election. More on the story go here.

-Edge’s surgery was an complete success on repairing the torn achilles tendon. Right now Edge has got to stay off his injured foot about 10 to 14 days, then he will be able to wear and rehabilitation boot. Hopefully two weeks after that, by the end of July Edge will be able to start rehabilitation. Sources believe WWE’s Unified Tag Champ will not return until January of 2010.

-PWInisder reports Sky and WWE have reached a deal that will allow Sky to improve their coverage (with Superstars and SmackDown being promoted from the 46 minute version to the full US broadcast) and, at the same time, for WWE to keep their presence in the market for the next 3 years.

Sky Italy will also be launching an HD simulcast of their sports channel in August and it’s highly likely that WWE programming will be part of the fold.

-Elijah Burke underwent an undisclosed surgery on Monday, according to a post on his Twitter page. “Minor surgery,” Burke wrote. “I’m kinda out of it right now. Not sure, but Elijah Burke may be finished for right now.”

Burke previously noted that he fell down a flight of stairs, which apparently led to the surgery. He had a recent tryout match with TNA and was said to have been impressive. Here’s hoping he has a quick recovery.

WWE.com has released graphic photos of Edge’s surgery to repair his torn achilles tendon. You can see the photos here.

Matt Hardy has posted the following update on his current injury status and recent surgery he just had an few days ago on his Myspace:

Well, since the news is out.. Let me buzz you all on something..

Well guys and gals, since the news has been leaked all over the ‘net, I figured I should go ahead and address it truthfully. Yes, the rumors are true, I had some major surgery a couple of day ago. The triple threat match against MVP and Kofi in Green Bay was the straw that broke the camel’s back. In a few days, I’m gonna blog on my WWE Universe page and fill everyone in on everything.
But here’s a little taste of how tough and annoying the last 2 years of my life has been. For two years, I’ve been working with a slight abdominal tear, a genetic defect that I was actually born with. Even though we torture ourselves every night in that ring for each of your guy’s entertainment.. But don’t get me wrong, we love it and chose to do it. The tear hasn’t been anything that has really over-affected me performance-wise.. Until.. My appendectomy. From when I returned in April 2008, my abdominal tear became gradually worse. I was having a U.S. Title run I was very proud of.. So I sucked it up! I became the ECW Champion, and was having one of the best runs of my career, and the abdominal injury really started bothering me.. So I sucked it up! I wanted to get it fixed before it got really bad.. BUT.. I had an issue with Jeff on TV which would ultimately lead us to wrestling one another at THE show of all shows, Wrestlemania. So I sucked it up and got through it! Basically, in a nutshell, my intestines were slowly tearing through my abdomen.. Which affected my training greatly, my in-ring work, and my physical appearance. My intestines were slowly swelling because they were all outta wack and protruding through my abdominal wall. But I sucked it up and gave everything I had. I haven’t been able to do a sit-up in two years. And as I totally expected, The lil “wanna be cool guys” that feel like bad-asses behind a keyboard LOVED to make comments about my weight gain because I was being lazy. Little did they know, or yet probably even care, that I’ve stayed constantly frustrated that I was dealing with these serious complications. Honestly, I only care about the personal friends and family that I have, that know my true deal.. It’s only their opinions I take serious and to heart. Anybody who writes about me, whether good or bad, but especially bad.. I couldn’t care less. I just say thanks for keeping me in the news.
The night in Green Bay, when Kofi gave me a cross body from the top rope, my intestines exploded out through my abdominal wall.. And not just in one spot, but in two spots. I had to have it fixed, or face major health problems.. Problems that could have killed me. So as always, I do what’s good for me, my career, friends, and loved ones. Hateful, ignorant comments made on the world wide web certainly doesn’t bothered me-but sometimes give me a good laugh.. And my world is a world those people will never experience.
I can actually get into the shape I wanna be in now.. Very excited about that. It’s sushi time peeps, I’ll be back soon to blog for guys again. Be well, and until then..

Matt

Doctors looking at Edge injured at 7/3 House Show in San Diego

One half of Unified Tag team Champions edge suffered an serious Injury at last night’s Smackdown/ECW house show in San Diego. Edge seems to suffered from an torn Achilles tendon during his match with Jeff Hardy. The injury occurred five minutes into the match. Edge seems to have planted his foot at the wrong angle ah he attempted to leap frog over Hardy’s oncoming charge.

Match was immediately called off and EMT’s rushed in to help the injured Edge to leave the ring. Before he left the ring, Edge apologized to the fans by saying “sorry” before he was taken out from the ring.
