WWE STAR PSICOSIS ARRESTED IN MEXICO, ACCORDING TO EL MEXICANO NEWSPAPER REPORT 
by Mike Johnson 

WWE Smackdown star Psicosis (Dionicio Castellanos Torres) was arrested on Monday evening at 10:25 PM after allegedly stealing a car from 23 year old Alexander Valencia Ramirez of Rosarito, Baja California, according to a report by Mexican newspaper El Mexicano. 

According to the article, Psicosis (identified as a professional wrestler, although WWE was not mentioned) asked to borrow Ramirez' black Mitsubishi and promised to return it later that night. When Ramirez refused, Psicosis allegedly pulled a gun wrapped in a towel on him, struck Ramirez and took off in the car. 

Ramirez called the police, who set up roadblocks around Rosarito. They attempted to apprehend Psicosis, who instead took off, striking several cars in the ensuing chase. An 18 year old pregnant woman, Yesenia Saraí Mejía Lopez, was riding in one of the cars that were hit. She was treated by paramedics at the scene but was OK. Psicosis was finally taken into custody, with the newspaper noting that he resisted but was subdued. Authorities discovered that the gun Psicosis allegedly used turned out to actually be a Buzz Bee toy company water gun. Obviously, there is more background yet to come out in regard to the story. 

A photo of Psicosis accompanied the article, which you can read (in spanish) at this link. 

One of the revolutionary Lucha workers of the early 1990s, Psicosis has been working on WWE's Smackdown brand since June 2005, originally as a member of the Mexicools trio with Juventud Guerrera and Super Crazy. Guerrera was released several months later. The Mexicools were broken up a few months back. He last appeared on the 7/21 edition of Smackdown, facing Crazy. Psicosis had not been used of late as WWE creative had nothing for him. 

JOHN CENA TALKS ABOUT ORGIES, SEX WITH HEAVY WOMEN, SAYS KANYON WAS LET GO BY WWE BECAUSE HE WASN'T GOOD, DENIES STEROID USE AND MORE
by Ed Jones

John Cena appeared on the Howard Stern Show this morning to promote his movie, "The Marine." I took some notes down, so this is in order of how the conversation went....

Most of the discussion was about sex, so print whatever you want! Howard asked if Cena ever had an orgy, and Cena said the most girls he has ever been with were 6 at once! They were girls who came to a show and wanted to have a good time, so he hooked up with them. He said his best experience was with 2 strippers from Louisville, who did everything imaginable with him. He doesn't enjoy "the back door" however, and Howard agreed. Stern also asked him if he has been with ugly or fat girls, and Cena said absolutely, and recently was with a "280-pounder!" Stern wanted to know what that was all about, and Cena basically said the locker room was challenging him and he decided to do it, and he totally embraced the experience and actually said he had a ball, and the girl did to. 

They got on the subject of Chris Kanyon, who has become a show favorite at the moment since his appearance last week, and he said that he knew Chris, and that Chris came out of the closet after he was out of WWE, not during like he is saying. Also, he basically said that Kanyon "just wasn't that good," meaning that he originally had the Mortis persona in WCW which was cool, but came to WWE as just "Chris Kanyon." Vince expects you to show charisma and have an identity, and that Kanyon didn't possess that in Vince's eyes.

Cena also said he is not afraid to "make an ass" of himself, and that a lot of guys insist on maintaining their tough guy personas. (This helps separate Cena from others in my mind, and is probably why I enjoy his character, don't get all the hate). He had his title belt with him, and Robin Quivers asked why he carries it since it is all pre-determined who wins and it isn't like he actually won it. He said it is for publicity, it has the big WWE logo on it, so if people in the street see him and don't know him, it is a way to convey who he is and who he works for. Howard asked him about his family, said his Dad was a big fan, and that his Dad is now getting into the business a little more.

Howard asked him if he was a millionaire, and Cena said he was "eating right" and doing well. They then discussed the movie, and Howard wanted to know if hooked up with co-star Kelly Carlson, but he said he wished but someone beat him to it (she's married). He said they filmed in Australia, so Howard wanted to know if he hooked up with all the Aussies, and Cena said he did quite well down under! Howard announced to all ladies that Cena won't say no, and John agreed!

They took a couple a calls, the female caller said he was awesome, she met him and person and he was a great guy. Eric the Midget, another regular called, but had nothing to say, he is a show regular who they hooked up and sent to the premiere on the red carpet and he got to meet his hero John Cena. The last call was most important, another regular Joey Boots called in and insisted that Cena took steroids and that no way he could get that big. Cena was very adamant that he never even tried them, has been working out since he was a kid, he wrestled in the NCAA and stuff where there were tests, and now WWE has its wellness program, so he couldn't even do it now if he wanted to. They polled the room, Robin was the voice of reason, saying he wasn't even that big compared to others who have been in, like HHH. Other guys in the room said he tried it before, even Howard doesn't see how he can get that big, but Cena stuck to his guns and said he never even tried it. He summed it up by saying he won't be able to change people's minds or perceptions, so he just shrugs it off.

That wrapped it up, they wished him well and wondered if the movie will be number one this week, he is hopeful, and they mentioned some of the competing movies...

ECW RATING RISES WITH STRIP POKER

This week's edition of ECW on Sci Fi did a 1.8 cable rating, with a 3 share.  That is up slightly from last week's 1.7.  The show did quarter hours of 1.6. 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 and 2.0 for the overrun.

WWE LOOKS TO THE PAST TO ADD NEW MEMBER OF THE CREATIVE TEAM

80s star "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin has been added, at least for now, to the WWE Creative team.  He has been with the company since Sunday's No Mercy PPV.  He has taken the place of Michael Hayes, who is now the lead writer of Smackdown, as Mike Johnson reported last week.  Garvin is said to have the "Mike Rotonda" look in that he has packed on some pounds since we saw him last.  He also is missing most of the trademark long hair that helped distinguish him back in the day.  

According to sources, thus far Garvin, who worked in recent years as a pilot, hasn't stood out or looked out of place in his new role.

BACKSTAGE NEWS FROM LAST NIGHT'S WWE TV TAPING, RATINGS NEWS, CENA NOTES, A CHEAP WAY TO GET WWE PPVS AND MORE 

This week's AM Raw did a 0.9 cable rating, with 3.8 share.

For those who wonder whether Monday Night Football has to hurt Raw every week, the answer is no.  MNF did a 10.3 cable rating this week and was up from last week's 10.2.   It was the fourth highest rating in ESPN's history.  Meanwhile, Raw scored its highest number in months from 9 to 11:06 so it just goes to show that if they put something on worth seeing, fans will watch. 

There was a lot of talk backstage at last night's taping among the workers about how embarrassing last night's ECW show, which was taped last week, was due to the Strip Poker segments.  It's safe to say that there are a lot of people in the company that are less than happy with the creative end of the company right now.

There were a number of Jacksonville Jaguars football players at last night's show.
