Stand Back, There's a Liquid-Courage Man Coming Through...

Gregory Helms Punished

It seems nowadays, more and more WWE superstars are making their way on TMZ. Whether it be Jeff Hardy, Batista, or even Gregory Helms.

It's no secret that mugshots of Gregory Helms have been posted all over TMZ, as he was arrested for public intoxication. Gregory Helms, along with Chris Jericho, and a female passenger named Ashley Storer, were drunk, escalating to Jericho and Helms play fighting in the back seat. The cabdriver pulled over at a nearby gas station after Helms accidently elbowed Storer.

On the Abraham Washington Show, Zack Ryder asked Christian how he felt about Gregory Helms tarnishing the reputation of ECW by doing what he did. Christian replied that we all make mistakes.

WWE are not hiding the fact that Jericho and Helms were on TMZ, they are actually exploiting it. Edge took the first shot on Monday Night when mentioning that while he was at home, Jericho has been getting his mugshot on TMZ. And then Gregory Helms appeared in the ring, which is not like a backstage reporter to do, only to be assaulted by Ezekiel Jackson and William Regal. No WWE superstar goes unpunished, and as for Gregory Helms, he was not only pulled out of the Royal Rumble, but he was double-teamed into a Ura-nage and the Knee Trembler.

It also leads us to wonder if Gregory Helms will be able to continue working as The Hurricane. Because how will the Hurricane be perceived if he cannot control himself in public?

As someone who is an occasional drinker, I personally understand what Gregory Helms is going through, it's not easy to control your actions. I've luckily never done anything that would garner me a spot on TMZ, but then again, Helms has a responsibility as a role model to set an example.

After ECW ends, Helms may appear on a different brand. Might I suggest SmackDown and enter a feud with the Straight-Edge Society? It would be just the thing SmackDown needs: Matt Hardy and Gregory Helms to feud with Luke Gallows and C.M. Punk.
