Meh.... MNM and The Mexicools should still produce a good match, so doesn't matter that much. Don't think Batista and Rey should have won but meh.
Kid Kash Vs. Juvi should be stellar. Give them 20 odd minutes.

Did I read that tasteless crap correctly?

yeah, how pathetic was that? He killed himself because refereeing the HIAC match ruined his life.

Yes it's true. Tim White got 'drunk', and then threathened to shoot Josh Matthews. He then when off, and a shot was heard. It was very tasteless.

He was a WWE ref, who got injured for real during a HIAC match (HHH shoved him into the cell, doing some permanent damage to him)
Anyone know the point in this being run?

Taken from rajah.com
Former WWE ref Tim White is interviewed at his Rhode Island Bar The Friendly Tap by Josh Matthews.
Tap is drinking quite a lot and he is being interviewed about the last match he refereed a Hell In A Cell match with Triple H and Chris Benoit. Tim injured his shoulder in that match and is just not speaking. Josh asks about the match but Tim is not talking. Very odd.
Footage of the match is shown and Tim is just dead silent.
Josh asks about life after the Cell Time says that its basically ruined. He family has left him and they won't talk to him. He says he starts to get these medical problems and complications physically.
Josh says that on behalf of WWE, he wanted to wish Tim White a white christmas. Tim pulls out a shotgun and Josh says they will leave. Josh begins to sign off from the location and Tim takes his shotgun and walks off screen. Josh begins to scream at Tim saying "No, no! Don't do it!" Then we hear a loud gunshot!
Matthews, Cole and Tazz are speachless

Okay, he's the ref who owns the bar.
Because he fell off a cage? What a shitty family.
I'd want to shoot him too after that.
Wow, this sounds really stupid.

It's not as bad as the Katie Vick angle, but it's certainly as pointless. WWE strikes again!
There will probably be a funeral service next week or something, where his long lost son, [insert name of brightest/biggest/stupidest/gayest OVW star here], will arrive on SD! to get revenge for his dead father. It's a sure ratings winner...

To further the Tim White "story"
His bar has remained closed, some sources say for storyline purposes, some saying police caved the door in looking for a body, as they were not warned of this in advance.
Wrestlers and staff are NOT coming out to defend this storyline, with uncomfirmed reports of some of the SD talent threatening to walk out on the PPV.
Repeats of Armageddon in the UK have edited out the final section of the segment, from the point where Josh Matthews goes to with Tim a "White Christmas"
Over 1000 complaints and calls were made to Police in the Providence area, prompting them to make an immediate investigation.
How fucking stupid is Vince to allow this to happen. I doubt it would happen, but the person responsible for this storyline, should be made to apologise, then be fired publicly.

Apologies for the double post, but I just picked this up from Rajah.com so thanks as always, and credit goes to them
I emailed the webmaster of Friendlytap.com (White's bar) about Tim White. This is the response I got:
Hello, thank you for your inquiry about the Armageddon PPV incident involving Tim White. In the world of professional wrestling, nothing is what it seems. Did Tim White actually die in "real life?" No. Did his wrestling persona die on WWE television? This is unknown.
What is known is that Tim White does what everyone in society does. His job.
Tim has been a loyal employee of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. for over 20 years and it is a good thing to get camera time in a vast sea of entertainers.
Did morals play a part in Tim's decision. We, and he, believe so. Unfortunately, with the recent passing of WWE Superstar (and friend of Tim White) Eddie Guerrero, people have been outraged at what transpired. Please be aware, that sometimes storylines are created over a long period of time. Just because this angle happened after the death of Eddie Guerrero doesn't mean that Tim or the WWE is disrespecting his memory.
The WWE produces television. Please be aware, that sometime things happen beyond the realm of television which doesn't change the course of the product. If a show is based on a murderer and a character passes away in real life, they do not re-write it. They write that character out of the story and the show goes on. Is this cold and heartless? No. It may be sad to the fans, but it doesn't take away from the product.
If this happened on a show like CSI and an actor passed away in real life, they will not re-write the show and turn it into a program about everything but death. It is just the natural course of events that transpire throughout the course of television history.
Please be aware that the WWE product is just television and entertainment. It's just up to the fans to decide how far they want to see into the product.
While we are not here to defend the actions that happened on the Pay Per View, we support Tim's decision in the way he portrays his character on television.
Thank you for your inquiries, webmaster@friendlytap.com
Looks to me as though Vince knew PPV buyrates for the Live showing of Armageddon would be shite, so he was banking on this for "re-run" and webcast buyrates
Fucking lame IMO

Obviously, they wanted Henry to pack the burgers, guys tits grew three times larger...but he is LARGE. Saw a big black guy hit Batista and I knew first hand it was Henry, because that is pretty much the biggest black guy there (EXCEPT FOR VISCERA, BUT HE IS LIKE A BLOWFISH), but lol, who would of thought they would give The Worlds Strongest man pretty much his first WHC Title shot 10 years after he signed the contract. They never gave it to him when he was in the Nation, When he was running with D'Lo, When he was bangin Mae Young, or when he was getting F-5'ed by Brock Lesnar....NOW...NOW They give it to him!
