TMZ Covers Helms’ Release + Kong-Bubba, ECW Star Moved To SD!

— Have a great weekend everyone. If you’re in the Northeast have fun digging out. That’s the plan right now – headed outside to shovel for the next few hours! Of course, beers are coming outside with me. Also remember that there is a Strikeforce challengers show tonight on Showtime at 11EST. It’s definitely worth checking out. The main event has two chicks fighting as well. ESPN2 also has Friday night fights at 9EST.

— Pro wrestling made TMZ twice today, with both the Kong/Bubba story and the WWE releases appearing on the gossip site. Regarding the Kong vs. Bubba story, TMZ erroneously says that Bubba’s “f*** Hati [sic]” comment was made on his radio show (it was made on Twitter). The site is leading the story on releases with a picture of Gregory Helms, and makes reference to his recent arrest possibly (and likely) leading to his WWE firing. I wonder if Chris Jericho will claim TMZ is lying again with the Helms release?

— Honky Tonk Man was on the Fight Show today on Sirius and confirmed his plans to sue both Bubba the Love Sponge and TNA for making disparaging and slanderous remarks about him. He claims these remarks have cost him indy bookings. Right.

— Petey Williams vs. Austin Aries has been added to Ring of Honor’s March 19th event in Dearborn, MI.

— We can confirm that Vance ‘Lance Hoyt’ Archer has been moved to the SmackDown! roster.
