Edge was injured over the weekend in a house show match with Chris Jericho in Salt Lake City, Utah. Edge took a bad bump outside the ring just a minute or two into the match, and yelled out that he was injured. The referee threw the "X" sign up and help arrived. Apparently the injury has to do with the hip or back, and Edge thinks it's a bad one. We'll have more on this later today.

WWE has decided to shift focus away from Eugene following his high profile Summerslam program with Triple H.

Eugene is not being blamed for low ratings or declining business, but WWE has opted to lower him and put the spotlight on Randy Orton as the company's top face.

Eugene was not mentioned on RAW following Summerslam and last week served only as the valet of sorts for William Regal. WWE does not have plans to bring Eugene back up to the level he was at leading to Summerslam, even though his feud with Triple H has yet to really be resolved.

The description of the Unforgiven PPV event reads; "The big names in WWE gather to take part in events such as 'Tag Team of the Year' & 'Last Man Standing'.

Aw man, that sucks to hear about Edge. I hope he'll be okay and won't be out very long.

WWE's Dress Code Problems

WWE fined seven wrestlers last week for violating their new dress code policy, including D-Von Dudley and Rey Mysterio. Everyone was fined $500 for the first offense. As reported, WWE will issue $1000 fines for second offenses, and a suspension for third offenses.

Many WWE wrestlers feel that the company has no right to fine for dress code violations since nothing related to dress is in anybody's contract.

Many feel WWE is going way beyond their legal rights in fining over dress code, since many of the wrestlers are considered to be independent contractors, a technical thing that WWE does to avoid paying many benefits and getting certain tax breaks.

Management feels it isn't too much to ask that the wrestlers look professional.

Edge injured?
Eugene depushed after HHH squashes him?

Thanks for the good news Jb.

Haha, but seriously that would suck if Edge is reinjured. And Eugene being depushed sucks aswell. . . they sort of semi-killed it by having so many weeks of like having 847,487 Eugene segments on RAW. But I still enjoy him.

Many thanks to reader David Glenn for sending this reporter the following live report:

I attended the 8/28/04 house show of raw in Salt Lake City, and thought I would pass on a report of Edge getting injured at the show.

I was front row right when edge was thrown over the top rope by Jericho. There didn’t seem to be anything Jericho could have done to prevent Edge not being hurt. When Edge hit the ground he hit very hard. He looked at a few fans who were close by and one of the security guards. Right after Edge hit the mat he said "aw F*ck Aw F*ck" the security guard asked Edge where he was hurt, he replied, "I don't know".

Edge lay on the floor outside of the ring. Jericho didn't know what to do so the guard told Jericho that Edge had been counted out only a minute or so into the match. Then the gaurd and the trainer flashed the X sign and the EMT's came down to the ring.

Jericho broke character by going down to speak to Edge and asking him if he was okay. Jericho seemed very worried about Edge’s condition. A Stretcher was brought out for Edge, however he managed to get up by himself and the refs carried him backstage.

After the show as Edge was leaving the arena he was being helped out by Rhyno in a wheel chair. Christian, and the Coach also helped Edge into his car with Rhyno.

wonder what this means for RAW.
