Kennedy Out for Six Months.

I know that we had previously reported Ken Kennedy's injury however given the length of his expected absence I thought we needed to print his latest interview.

Kennedy sidelined six months

On Tuesday, SmackDown Superstar Ken Kennedy underwent surgery to repair a tendon that was ripped clean off a bone in his back. WWE.com caught up with Kennedy convalescing at home to find out how he’s doing now.

WWE.com: How did the surgery go, and how are you feeling now?

Kennedy: I’m pretty achy, pretty sore. But the surgery went even better than they thought it would. The doctors said they got it really tight; the tendon re-attached perfectly to the bone, and they didn’t have to cut me open as much as they thought they’d have to cut me open.

WWE.com: What restrictions will you have during the recovery period?

Kennedy: I’m not allowed do to anything with my right hand for the next six weeks. So, that should be interesting. I’m not at all ambidextrous. I’m very right-handed, so I’ve been having a hard time doing anything. But I’m in a huge sling with a cuff that is attached to a cooler and it fills with cold water, so it’s pretty slick. My hand and wrist are Velcroed to my belly-button for the next six weeks. But I’m doing okay. I’m a little groggy still, obviously. I’m on pretty strong pain medication. Every once and a while it starts to wear off and I start to feel it, but what can you do?

WWE.com: What will you do to pass the time?

Kennedy: Well, I can’t play video games like I wanted to because I’m not allowed to use my right hand, so I’m a little bummed out about that. So, I’ve just been watching seasons 1-3 of The Shield on DVD.

WWE.com: When will you be able to get an update on your condition?

Kennedy: I have to go back in two weeks and see the surgeon again. But hopefully, they’ll tell me that since the surgery went so well that maybe my recovery time won’t be quite as long as they originally thought.

WWE.com: Will you have to take any special precautions once you return to the ring? Your finishing maneuver, for example, would seem to put a lot of impact on the surgically repaired areas.

Kennedy: Well, I won’t be able to do anything for six months, but once I’m ready to go back in the ring, I’ll be fully ready to go. I should be able to take a full swing at it.

*sniff* I miss him already....no Brian, be strong...Ken wouldn't want to see you cry.

WWE News : Christy Hemme released.

wwe.com is reporting the following :

WWE and Diva Christy Hemme have come to terms on her release. WWE.com will
have more details as they become available.

Not really a big loss to the company, an unexpected one though. Christy's last big feud was with Melina, as she proved to be the worst thing to happen to LOD since, well, Heidenreich. I will miss the fiveheaded tardette.

Ric Flair - Road Rage

Strange one this, I would think that WWE wrestlers were more susceptable to roid rage rather than road rage. I like the mental image of Flair going mad and elbow dropping his jacket in front of traffic.

Courtesy of Wsoctv.com:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Pro wrestler Ric Flair faces assault charges after a road
rage incident on Interstate 485 in Charlotte. Another driver said Flair
attacked him and his car.

The driver said he was on I-485 on Wednesday, trying to get out of town for
the Thanksgiving holiday and traffic was slow.

The driver said he noticed someone behind him flashing their headlights, so
he hit his brakes.

The driver said the car then pulled along side him, police said. The victim
said he immediately recognized the driver as Ric Flair.

The driver told police that Flair got out of his car, walked over to the
vehicle, grabbed him by the neck and damaged his car.

Police said there are two warrants out for Flair -- simple assault and
damage to personal property.

Flair's attorney, Richard Finnell, said Flair is unaware of the warrants. He
said Flair is in Michigan this week for a pay-per-view wrestling event.

Finnell said Flair would be back in Charlotte on Tuesday.

NJPW: Inoki sells to Yuke's

According to a report at Gamasutra, Antonio Inoki sold controlling interest of New Japan Pro-Wrestling to game developer Yuke's.

Yuke's, a Japanese developer who primarily creates wrestling games, has purchased a controlling 51.5% of shares in the New Japan Pro Wrestling league from star Antonio Inoki. The deal to buy the necessary 27,800 shares in the league is scheduled to happen on November 30th...

Simon Kelly Inoki, son-in-law of Antonio Inoki, who founded the NJPW league in 1972, explained that the sale was made to fend off a potential hostile takeover by unknown investors, according to additional information translated by consumer website IGN.

Yuke's, as you may know, has been responsible for the WWE Smackdown games on the Sony PlayStation systems. What effect this may have on the promotion remians to be seen.
