Today's WWS Top Story:
CYBER SUNDAY POLLING QUESTIONS SEEM LEADING
This Sunday night, WWE's annual Cyber Sunday PPV takes place, where fans are encouraged to go to WWE.com and vote for the matches and stipulations that they would like to see.
Some fans went on WWE.com to vote, and reported feeling that the structure of the questions was biased towards a specific result…one that WWE would prefer.
WWS has reprinted the ballot here, without any changes, to allow you the reader to make your own decision:
OFFICAL WWE CYBER SUNDAY BALLOT WHERE YOU MAKE THE MATCHES!
WHO WOULD RANDY ORTON FACE IN THE WWE TITLE MATCH?
-WWE legend and future Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, allowing him to settle his long standing score with Randy Orton after being taking out of action and sidelined for months by Orton, in a match that surely will last at least 20 minutes, have several near falls, and will end with a superkick and title change
-Ken Kennedy, a good choice if you like to pay $40 to see dull bad guy vs. bad guy matches
-Matt Hardy's weird little brother
WHO SHOULD BE THE GUEST REFREE IN THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH?
-WWE Icon and returning legend Stone Cold Steve Austin (Santino has been f'n with him for weeks if you vote for him he might not only ref the Batista/Undertaker title match but also appear and stun Santino and Maria wouldn't that be sweet?)
-Washed up old Mick Foley
-The guy who does the Smackdown announcing that you see for free every Friday
IN WHAT TYPE OF MATCH SHOULD TRIPLE H AND UMAGA COMPETE?
-A first blood match where the lame stipulations dictate that as soon as one of these p*****s bleed the whole thing ends
-A street fight where they'd basically just fight like they did on Raw last week
-A steel cage match. Note: the cage will have to be there anyway to make this voting look halfway legit so if we have to bring it there and set it all up and hang it from the ceiling and everything wouldn't you just like to see it used? Thanks.
WHO SHOULD FACE PUNK IN THE ECW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH?
-Some a** h*** named "The Miz"
-John Morrison, a loser just back from a drug suspension
-Big Daddy V, the guy he's been feuding with for a while who you'd really like to see Punk take on in a match that we promise will be better then that crap at the last PPV.
IN WHAT TYPE OF MATCH SHOULD MYSTERIO AND FINLAY COMPETE?
-A bad ass stretcher match
-A cool but not as bad ass no disqualification match
-A super-gay-sounding shillelagh on a pole match
IN WHAT TYPE OF MATCH SHOULD MATT HARDY AND MVP COMPETE?
-A boxing match where two people who don’t know how to box would try to put on a staged boxing match (these always suck)
-A Mixed Martial Arts match where two people who fake fight would pretend to have a real fight (these rarely happen but almost surely would suck)
-A Wrestling Match (the correct answer)
WWS Special Editoral:
I DIDN'T QUIT WWE SO I COULD KEEP SMOKING WEED, BUT IT SURE DIDN'T HURT
A Guest Editorial by: Booker T
Hello fans. It's me, Booker T. Thank you for all of your support over the past 8 years, as I have been a part of the WWE.
As I leave WWE, I would like to set the record straight about my release. WWE is under great pressure from Congress to get more serious about the "Wellness Program." Some say that I asked for my WWE release simply because I like to smoke marijuana and the increased pressure will make it harder for a WWE talent to engage in this activity.
This is an outright lie.
Don't get me wrong; I do like to get high. Incredibly high. I'm high right now. On Purple Kush. This stuff is nutz. Its like a full body buzz that last for 6-8 hours. My arms and legs feel like they're floating. But playas, I digress… while I do love to smoke up, I actually requested my release because I have been unhappy in WWE for a while now.
Some say that my unhappiness is less a matter of frustration with WWE creative and its long term plans for my character and more a natural result of the depression and mood swings that can accompany massive prolonged weed consumption.
This is simply not true.
Weed is a wonder drug with no side effects whatsoever. It heals pain, it doesn't cause it. So chill. Look, I know that some say that I left WWE once and for all only after they decided to fine all wrestlers $1000 each time they test positive for marijuana.
Again, not true.
First, I know how to cheat on the test. Second, even if the test did somehow catch me what's a $1,000 bucks a couple of times a year? I'm rich. Hell, I'm a King. I'll pay that shiznit. But I know there are some that say I left WWE for TNA, where I can get a well paying job for less dates and not have to fear any drug policy.
This isn't true either, but it sure as hell don't hurt.
As I sit here with a key board under my finger tips and a vaporizer in my lap I think, thank you TNA for allowing me to work in an environment where Booker T can do what Booker T does best: put on a hell of a great performance in the ring and then spend the rest of the show backstage, soaring, trying to beat Halo 3.
Don’t hate the playa. Hate the game.
