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.

Undertaker Screwed Over, Wrestlers Support Jeff Hardy After Arrest

Last night in Montreal, CM Punk sunk to new lows in order to reaffirm his beliefs and to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

GM Teddy Long has been pressured by McMahon to impress him, to do something spectacular, something that deserves excellence... Well, Long finally reached his breaking point when he ordered the World Heavyweight Title Match to be restarted, after Taker submitted Punk using Hell's Gate. The reason for this, is that former GM, Vickie Guerrero, banned the move shortly after WrestleMania XXIV. She made this decree after Taker injured so many, including her ex-husband Edge, with the blood choking hold. Who would'be guessed that Teddy would uphold it?

CM Punk took the chance to apply the Anaconda Vice, the move that made Matt Hardy tap out just the Friday before, on the Undertaker. But just as Punk finished getting the hold - Referee Scott Armstrong called for the bell.

The Undertaker has never submitted in his entire wrestling career, but on this night, where in 1997 Shawn Michaels and McMahon screwed Bret Hart from the WWE Title, more than ten years later, McMahon would screw over Hulk Hogan in 2003 and now The Undertaker in 2009. Much like the real life screw job of 97', Taker never tapped out. Let's just call this night, Montreal Screw Job III.

Prior to the match, CM Punk was interviewed by Josh Matthews and he goes on to mention: He is a Straight-Edge Champion that people can trust, and at least you won't see his mugshot all over the internet.

This is in regards to the recent arrest of Jeff Hardy 9/11/09:

Fayetteville Police Chief Deputy Neil Godfrey says that Jeff Hardy's home was searched Friday morning at 10:30am based on a police tip that there were drugs on the premises.

Upon arriving at the house, police encountered Hardy and "wife" (fiancee) Beth. After completing the search and finding the various drugs and paraphernalia, the police proceeded to arrest and charge the former WWE Superstar. Hardy's significant other was not included in the arrest.

Charged with "trafficking in opium, two counts of possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for drugs, possession of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia," according to the Observer, Hardy would face a mandatory prison term if convicted of some of the key charges. Opium trafficking, for instance, guarantees a three year stint behind bars.

Godfrey added that because the case remains under investigation, it is too early to determine if more charges-either against Hardy or others who are potentially involved - will be filed.

Hardy, who has not outright denied the alleged possession of drugs ranging from anabolic steroids to cocaine to Vicodin but has criticized inaccurate media reporting, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on the matter Monday.

Hardy, a former WWE World Champion and one of the most popular wrestlers in the modern era of the company, departed the organization for a personal hiatus a few weeks ago. Eerily, his final story-line, a feud with current World Champion, CM Punk, played off his history of alleged drug issues.

It's not a surprise then that CM Punk would attack Jeff unsubtly: "You will never see my mugshot all over the internet!"

However, throughout the twitter world, many of Jeff's fan base have fallen out of favor for the once-rainbow haired warrior. But those that are sticking by Jeff are not just the fans, but other wrestlers:

@HurricaneHelms: When friends or family FALL, u don't ask them WHY they fell, you simply help them up!

@IAmJericho: Don't think of judging Jeff Hardy until you've walked a mile in his shoes. I will always have Jeffs back...

@TheShannonBrand: RT @NekoEyes If I smell like smoke, it's because I walked through Hell with The Hardy Boys!

@MATTHARDYBRAND: Thnx 4 the overwhelming support guys, and; I mean OVERWHELMING! Can't wait until the facts are able t come out. God bless u all, God bless us...

And with all these overwhelming responses Jeff Hardy finally responded this morning:

@JEFFHARDYBRAND: Thanks for your undying support-Love u guys!

So no matter what happens, Jeff Hardy will always be a part of our lives; He's like our little brother, and we have to look out for family.
