— Last week on SmackDown, WWE ran the first “coming soon” promo for Kizarnee. A video clip of that promo has been posted to YouTube and can be viewed here. The idea behind the character is that he will speak “carnie talk”, an ‘insider’ language used at carnivals (and pro wrestling). Kizarnee (real name is Nick Cvjetkovich) is he’s a 35 year old Canadian wrestler. He has been wrestling for 8 years and was trained by Ron Hutchinson, the same person who trained Edge, Christian, Trish Stratus and Gail Kim, amongst others. He’s worked a lot with Scott D’Amore and Robert Roode in the past and was part of James Mitchell’s “New Church” during the early days of TNA Wrestling. He has been under WWE developmental contract since 2006 and has been in Florida working at developmental for around 15 months, wrestling under the name “Sinn Bowdee”.

— TMZ.com has picked up on the brawl that took place over the weekend at the Iron Shiek comedy roast involving Scott Hall. TMZ says that after comedian Jimmy Graham made light of Owen Hart’s death while roasting the Iron Shiek (he joked, “After the Sheik and Hacksaw Jim Duggan got caught sniffing coke in the parking lot his career fell faster than Owen Hart”) Graham claims Razor Ramon rushed the stage, threw the podium, and grabbed the comic by the throat. Hall was restrained and quickly escorted to his hotel room without further incident.
