Dammit!

Sabu showed up at the Smackdown/ECW taping tonight several hours late and without his ring gear. He was then told to go home and immediately released. Sabu was originally scheduled to face Kevin Thorn on ECW On Sci-Fi tonight and plans had to be changed after he was sent home. The latest word is that after finding out that he was scheduled to lose to Thorn, he claimed he had a neck injury.

Some believe that Sabu showed up to the taping late on purpose, knowing he would be sent home, because he has not been happy with how he is being used. This is apparently not the first time he has shown up late and/or without his gear recently.

And...

Rob Van Dam's match with Snitsky on Tuesday could have very well been his last match ever in WWE. Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch is reporting that RVD is officially done with World Wrestling Entertainment as of last Wednesday.

WWE felt that keeping RVD around and burying him on TV was not worth it and it was better to get him off TV as soon as possible.His contract wasn't going to expire until late June at the earliest, but WWE officials cut that short because RVD said he would not re-sign with them and they had nothing for him until then. Despite the early release, RVD has a no-compete clause, and thus he can't show up in TNA next week for instance.

He is expected to sign with TNA after a long deserved summer break. If and when he joins TNA, it will probably be in September at the earliest. TNA is trying to land a two hour slot for the fall season on Spike, so if they end up getting it, they'll probably hold him off for the two hour show's debut.

Fuck. I am very excited for the taping here in July because I wanted to see the originals.... And now my 2 favorites are gone. I can't say I'm surprised, It's shocking Sabu lasted this long. Oh well, hopefully Sandman and Tommy will make it to July. ( and Punk!)
