WWE releases Chavo Guerrero, dead-uncle statute passed

Pucker up and kiss your contract goodbye, amigo!

See what you get for waking up early on a Saturday and browsing the Internet? I’ve accomplished more in 30 minutes — hung over, no less — than most people will all day! According to WWE.com, 10-year employee… excuse me, independent contractor (am I right, @The305MVP?) Chavo Guerrero has come to terms with WWE on Guerrero’s release. For those of you who follow Stunt Granny but haven’t really watched wrestling since the Monday Night Wars of the late 1990s, you may remember the last name “Guerrero” as that of phenomenal talent Eddie Guerrero, who sadly passed away in November 2005. However, you may barely remember his shifty nephew Chavo as a borderline obnoxious undercard wrestler who could kinda wrestle but mostly just pissed you off because you’d rather have been watching La Parka or the NWO.

Well, apparently WWE’s five-and-a-half-year statute on keeping a wrestler on the roster after his uncle died from pumping up the muscles on his small frame just to get ahead has expired, so Chavo is going to have to strap on a Speed Racer helmet and pretend to be excited about All Wheels Wrestling, or head back home with 24 of his best friends in one pickup truck. -Eric

Ring of Honor announces full list of Sinclair stations for new TV show

Paducah, Kentucky... Quilt City, USA!

According to the Baltimore Sun, Ring of Honor has announced the full list of stations carrying its new TV show beginning in September. The 35 markets to carry ROH’s new TV show are Baltimore, Birmingham, Buffalo, Cedar Rapids, Champaign-Springfield, Charleston, Charleston…

Wait, there are two Charlestons? Who the hell did King Charles think he was?

Charleston (S.C.), Charleston-Huntington (W.Va.), Cincinnati, Columbus (go, Kevin!), Dayton, Des Moines (fuck yeah!), Flint, Greensboro (WOOOO!), Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville (go, Jeremy!), Las Vegas, Lexington, Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Mobile-Pensacola (@ScottArmstrong_ will love it), Nashville, Norfolk, Oklahoma City…

(Seattle, San Francisco, too… everywhere there’s music, real live music, bands with a million styles… the heart of rock and roll is still beating)

Paducah-Cape Girardeau…

OK, I just read it, and I still don’t believe there’s really a city called “Pa-DOO-kah.”

Peoria, Pittsburgh, Portland, Raleigh-Durham…

Damn, I have this weird urge to watch some old WCW Clash of the Champions shows.

Richmond, Rochester (N.Y.), San Antonio, St. Louis, Syracuse (go, Irwin R. Schyster!), Tallahassee, and Tampa-St. Petersburg. So there you go: If you want to see today’s vanilla midgets wrestle in beautiful high definition, you better move to one of these cities! And get ready, Paducah, for an ROH house show near you! -Eric
