SERIES NEWS: NXT stars debut in PPV main event angle, plus other news from annual
PPV - 18th November 2012 --
NXT champion Seth Rollins (formerly Tyler Black), Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns
debuted on WWE TV by attacking Ryback and preventing him from capturing the WWE
Title in the Survivor Series PPV main event. Rollins,
Ambrose, and Reigns were identified by announcer Michael Cole as being from the
NXT Developmental system. After they took out Ryback via powerbomb through the
Spanish announce table, Punk pinned John Cena, who had received Shell Shock from
Ryback before Ryback was taken out by the NXT trio. --
No titles changed hands during the PPV. In the other top title match, Sheamus
beat Big Show via DQ after Show pulled referee Scott Armstrong in the way of a
Brogue Kick. Sheamus then delivered a massive beat down to Show using a chair,
which likely sets up a World Title re-match at the TLC PPV next month. --
In the other title matches, Antonio Cesaro retained the U.S. Title over Kofi Kingston
and Eve retained the Divas Title over Kaitlyn. --
In the top Survivor Series elimination match, Dolph Ziggler pinned Randy Orton
to be the sole survivor for Team Ziggler over Team Foley. Earlier in the show,
WWE teased tension between Orton and Mick Foley, playing up their historical feud
from Orton's early days. Also earlier in the show, David Otunga was named as Cody
Rhodes's replacement on Team Ziggler following Rhodes's injury at last week's
Smackdown TV taping. --
Tamina, who recently trained with The Rock, returned to WWE TV as Vickie Guerrero's
hired bodyguard. The set-up was that A.J. Lee noted that if Vickie places her
hands on her, then Vickie will be removed as interim Raw authority figure. Tamina
then blindsided A.J. and Superfly Splashed her to establish her new role as Vickie's
enforcer (Pro
Wrestling Torch) News Pro
wrestling - Movie and Hollywood connection; Sports Entertainment news and rumours Pro
Wrestling; Movie connection; Hollywood and Entertainment news; Spider-Man Inspired
By Masked Luchadors; WWE news...
The Media Man agency has another piledriver
and bodyslamming look at the connection between Hollywood movies and professional
wrestling. WWE and Marvel comic book - Spider-Man fans once again cheer on their
masked heroes and some even get the guts to play the Spider-Man online games,
in this web of extreme entertainment.
Spider-Man
Inspired By Masked Luchadors... In
The Amazing Spider-Man, which hit theaters Tuesday, Peter Parker is inspired to
create a mask after winding up inside a wrestling ring surrounded by posters of
masked luchadors. It is not the first wrestling connection in the movie franchise
as in the premiere film released in 2002, Peter enters a wrestling tournament
and squares off against a character portrayed by the late Randy "Macho Man"
Savage. Spider-Man
movie has strong ties to pro wrestling; "Macho Man" Randy Savage connection...
The Amazing Spider-Man was released during the Independence Day week and so far
the flick has performed well. The
Spider-Man franchise is awesome, it is something else which has pro wrestling
fans excited about the latest reboot of the superhero franchise. In
the original film, starring Tobey Maguire, we witnessed Spider-Man enter a pro
wrestling match in order to win a sum of cash which would allow him to purchase
a used car he thought would impress Mary Jane. Initially,
Peter Parker wanted to be called The Human Spider, but Bruce Campbell put a stop
to that nonsense and sent him down to the ring as Spider-Man. As
if seeing the man most famously known as Ash Williams wasn't enough, we were treated
to a second cameo within seconds. Spidey
was facing off against Bonesaw McGraw, who was played by the late, great Randy
"Macho Man" Savage. It
was here where Spidey first faced off against a foe who put him through hell. This
cameo by the legendary "Macho Man" was warmly welcomed by wrestling
fans who had missed Savage. The new film, featuring Andrew Garfield as the webby
one has gone back to its roots and given Peter Parker another wrestling-based
inspiration. At
one point in the film Peter Parker is walking away from a group of hoodlums he
had just schooled when he falls through a roof, landing in the middle of a wrestling
ring. When
he stood up and looked around he saw what provided him with the inspiration for
his signature mask. The
small arena was filled with signs featuring Lucha Libre masks, one of which catches
Parker's eye more than the others. The
mask is red with dark-colored designs surrounding the eyes, nearly an exact copy
of Spidey's look sans the webbing all over the face area. Director
Marc Webb made a lot of wrestling fans happy by inserting another inspiration
for Spider-Man which is based in the world of pro wrestling. Wrestling
fans and comic book fans have a large cross over audience which these film makers
have smartly plugged into - further casting their own web, to help increase net
profits of course.
Comics and pro wrestling have a few elements in common.
They both feature people dressed in fancy outfits, have signature attacks / finishing
moves, and have a good VS evil theme for the most part. Both
Marc Webb and Sam Raimi chose to use wrestling as a launching pad for Peter Parker
is also another point that wrestling fans are high on. This
latest part of the Hollywood - pro wrestling connection has gone over well and
may even lead to the wrestling themes been further cast out in the Hollywood movie
web and the movie industry wrestles attempting to get back some of the glory and
money it used to make. Marvel
Entertainment Movies: Amazing Spider-Man, Thor 2, The Avengers Et Al Boost Popularity
Of Marvel Slot Games...
The Media Man agency reports that Marvel themed online slot games across the network,
and featured at partner, PartyCasino,
are boosting the popularity of the superhero themed online slot games. Bwin.Party
currently offers The Incredible Hulk, Thor, The Amazing Spider-Man and Fantastic
Four, with more expected to soon hit the popular gaming and entertainment website
destination.
WWE
Keen To Work With UFC Fighter; Ties To C.M Punk And "Stone Cold" Steve
Austin?...
Various news media has reported that WWE is interested in working with 35 year
old UFC fighter "The American Gangster" Chael Sonnen. There's been mixed
reports on whether Sonnen will one day try his hand at pro wrestling, post MMA,
following the lead of 'King Mo' who now wrestles in TNA Wrestling. Oh, did you
hear... Batista may soon be returning to professional wrestling WWE style - watch
this space, and be sure to check him out in the new flick 'The Man With The Iron
Fists', where he plays 'Brass Body'.
Back
to the talented big mouth fighter Sonnen...he has ties to WWE as he is mates with
WWE Champion CM Punk. Punk was ready to accompany Sonnen to the Octagon for a
fight several months back but that was nixed. Sonnen
is also close to WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin. Austin has been bringing Sonnen
out to his Broken Skull Ranch in Texas to help him with strength and conditioning
training.
Ric Flair may soon return to WWE; Next Monday on Raw?... Various
pro wrestling websites and "dirt sheets" are reporting that folks close
to Ric Flair are stating that he will be returning WWE at the October 29th RAW
from Charlotte, North Carolina. Many fans are of course hoping this rumour is
true. The
general understanding is that he will
be getting involved in the storyline with AJ Lee, Vickie Guerrero and John Cena. Flair
will be a most welcome addition to the roster which is thin on depth at the moment,
with big name iconic wrestlers such as The Rock, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar
nowhere to be seen...but we can hope that upcoming PPV 'Hell In A Cell' may offer
a few surprises. Lots of internet buzz about a potential return to the WWE from
Dave Bautista, but nothing's 100% until it happens. Hardcore
and casual fans are excited about seeing Flair work with his modern day equivalent
of sorts - Dolph Ziggler. How cool what that be? You can smell the improved TV
ratings already.
WWE needs to pull a rabbit or two out of the hat, and the
likes of Flair, Bautista, The Rock and The Undertaker are just what the doctor
ordered. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin is also strongly rumoured to make some WWE
appearances in 2013, which may or may not result in a fued or match with CM Punk. Lot's
of rumours around and all up it should make a more entertaining that usual Raw,
and new WWE program, Main Event, would also do well to see legendary wrestlers
return. Yes
fans, there's a lot of buzz and excitement around at the moment, so let's hope
that the WWE powers that be do what is required to get some legendary wrestlers
back on the active roster.

ever was. Goldberg, who played in the National Football League, particularly took
issue with the WWE Superstar proclaiming himself as the better athlete. "Better
athlete? Come on dude wake up.....," Goldberg tweeted. In
a remark re-tweeted by Goldberg, former WCW colleague Scotty Riggs stated, "Take
it as a complement that the kid is unsuccessfully trying to outshine you!!" Former
WCW announcer Mark Madden also noted earlier, "Ryback thinks he's superior
to @Goldberg? Ryback is a Xerox of a Xerox. Goldberg was an organic phenomenon.
We'll see how Ryback winds up." Goldberg
wrote "Case closed!" in response to the following remark: "Ryback
is a better athlete than @Goldberg? I don't remember seeing Ryback play in the
NFL. #ShowSomeRespect." During
the WWE Magazine interview, Ryback said comparisons between the two don't bother
him, but that "people are misinformed." "People
see a big guy with a shaved head who's intense, and they draw those comparisons,"
Ryback stated. "I will say this: Goldberg did this for the money. He was
never a fan of wrestling. I do this because I have a passion for it, and that's
the biggest difference between Goldberg and me. I'm not here to make five million
dollars and then walk away. I'm here for life. And, I firmly believe that I'm
much better than he was in the ring. He was great, and I was a fan of his when
I was younger. But, I feel I'm a better athlete and wrestler than Goldberg ever
was, and people are going to see that over time." News WWE
Live RAW Tour: Event Results From Sydney, Australia - 31st August 2012, by Greg
Tingle 
C.M
Punk VS Daniel Bryan - Allphones Arena, Sydney, Australia Pro
wrestling WWE style - Sports Entertainment returns to Sydney, Australia...
WrestleMania (Australian style) returned to Sydney on Friday night and the show
did not disappoint.
Pro
wrestling fans young and old got their fix of WWE grapplers. The
WWE marketing and media machine can be attributed to what looked to be a 90 percent
full Allphones Arena - making it a crowd of approximately 15,000. It's unclear
how much of the crowd was papered (unpaid), but the smart money says it was fans
who parted with their hard earned money. A
mixed crowd of both hardcore fans, casual fans and families, who were pretty vocal
and hyped up for the show. The
show commenced with Brodus Clay VS Jack Swagger. Naomi was with Brodus, no Cameron.
Swagger got some good heat, but Brodus got his hand raised quick. Entertaining
and fun, but not a classic wrestling match - nor was it supposed to be. Kids just
love Clay. Next
was the divas (ladies) match. WWE Divas Champion Layla defeated Rosa Mendes. We
appreciated the effort of the ladies but its safe to say the WWE should raise
the bar in the Diva's division. Maybe bring in a few Japanese lady pro wrestlers
as well as snatch some of TNA Wrestling's best also. WWE have so much TV time
to fill up, so ramp up the Diva's for the female and male fans in the WWE Universe. WWE
Tag Team Champions R-Truth and Kingston beat Primo and Epico in a solid match.
R-Truth was on fire, both with in-ring skills and the mic, and 'Little Jimmy'
was over big time with young and old. The
Miz defeated Alex Riley to retain the Intercontinental Championship. The Miz got
strong heat. Nice mic work telling everyone he wasn't "awful", but "awesome".
AR was surprisingly over. Maybe because he's a pretty strong worker and Australian
fans are not overexposed to the WWE product (with live shows), like rather spoilt
American fans. Lot's of Wooooo's! (for the chops), respecting Ric Flair, who most
fans want to see return to his rightful home - WWE. Zack
Ryder defeated Tensai. Zack Ryder got a huge pop and Tensai got pretty decent
heat and reactions. At least Tensai looks like a pro wrestling "monster"
- he has the look and size, and moves well for a big man. Younger fans seem to
be scared of Tensai and went nuts when Ryder got the win. Santino
defeated David Otunga. Decent heat for Otunga. Santino is over in Australia, but
not as much as he is in the U.S. Keep WWE belts off both these guys... they don't
need them. They worked the crowd fairly well and Santino is funny, but this was
not a classic wrestling match - and it was never expected to be. Passable - just. CM
Punk defeated Daniel Bryan to retain the WWE Championship in an awesome match
which went for almost 30 minutes. Stalling by both at first, but the crowd was
pretty into it. Established characters can stall for ages with little fan backlash
- the way the late Randy "Macho Man" Randy Savage and living legends
Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair used to do. CM Punk worked as a face and was over big
time. "Yes" chant all throughout the match as well. Tons of fan signs
for both and lots of fans bought their t-shirts. John
Cena defeated The Big Show and John Laurinaitis in the main event. Decent match
for these guys. After the match Laurinaitis attacked Cena with a chair, but Cena
turned around and hit him with an attitude adjustment to finish the show. Overall
strong show - especially for an Australian WWE show, which were mixed in the past.
We're giving it 8 out of 10 and it was value for money. Strongest
pops: John Cena
CM Punk
Zack Ryder Most
heat: The Miz

for improvement: More strong WWE Divas, bring back Ric Flair urgently (1000s of
fans did the Woooooo!), bring Ziggler and Randy Orton to the next Australian show,
have 2 top line NXT talents on the next down under show. It would be nice to see
Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan back with the WWE. Strong rumours Flair will be back
within a month or two, so hopefully he makes the next Australian tour. Wooooo! News Entertainment

WWE Announcer Legend Jim Ross Blog Update...
WWE
Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with his latest blog about Monday's 1,000th episode
of RAW, here are just a few highlights: RAW
1000: "Memorable week especially kicking it off with RAW1000 in St Louis.
No guarantees that any of us will be around for RAW2000 so I particularly enjoyed
my experiences Monday night. "The
reality of the matter is this...it is highly unlikely, thanks Gorilla, that exact
collection of performers will EVER be under the same roof again. I look back upon
my attendance at RAW1000 as a privilege and am grateful to have had the opportunity
to see so many old friends that have meant a great deal to me over my long career." Inducting
Mick Foley in the WWE Hall of Fame: "@RealMickFoley when asked who would
induct him if/when Mick goes into the WWE HOF mentioned Terry Funk and yours truly.
While I would love to honor Mick on that special occasion, there is no way that
I would ever put myself in the same category with Terry Funk. Terry mentored Mick
and treated Mick like a son. While I'd love to induct Mrs. Foley's Baby Boy into
the WWE HOF, I think that Terry Funk is the best choice. However, I stand ready
if called upon." If
CM Punk would reform the nWo: "A follower on @JRsBBQ on Twitter asked if
I thought @CMPunk would reform the nWo. I have no idea if this topic is any thing
more than speculation based on my friend Kevin Nash having some fun with the subject
on Twitter. Bottom line is that I don't know but I would be surprised if Punk
headed up a faction at this time because he seems to be such a solitary man. The
only way that I see that ever happening at this stage of Punk's career is if he
had complete control on who comprised the group."

‘Squirrelly’ move puts U.S. wrestler on map...
LONDON
— It began as a goof — two brothers horsing around, dreaming up exotic
wrestling moves straight out of the Vince McMahon WWE handbook and trying them
out on each other. The
move has since gone viral as a YouTube sensation, become a nickname and, before
the 2012 London Games are over, it might become part of U.S. Olympic lore —
a highlight burned into our minds forever. Ellis
Coleman and his older brother, Lillashawn, used to wrestle with each other at
their high school outside of Chicago when they would dial up crazy moves to use
on each other. The
best of them was called the “Flying Squirrel.’’ Ellis never forgot
it, and now has turned it into a cottage industry for himself. Coleman,
at age 21 the youngest member of the six-man U.S. Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling
team, has used the move about a dozen times in competition. Perhaps
the highest profile time he used it was in last year’s Junior World Championships
to come back and beat his opponent in the semifinals. ESPN ranked the move third
on its “Best of the Best Highlights’’ for 2011. “It’s
been crazy,’’ Coleman said yesterday. “Every time someone sees
it, kids are reaching out to me on Facebook and Twitter asking me to show them
the move.’’ In
the words of Coleman, one of a host of athletes at these Olympic Games representing
the New York Athletic Club, here’s how the move is executed: “You snap
the opponent’s head down, leap over him and, as you land on your feet, you
grab his waist, pull him over, pick him up and throw him down.’’ In
Greco-Roman wrestling, the competitors get points for their various moves. Five
points is the most you can get for one move. Coleman said he has used the move
about a dozen times and usually gets at least three points for it. He
first unveiled it out of desperation in a match he was losing, stunned his opponent
with it and went on to win it. Coleman
said he likes to use the move as an element of surprise and isn’t sure if
he will use it in the Olympics. “If
I’m losing, though, you’ll definitely see it,’’ he said. “It’s
a risky move. It’s a spur-of-the-moment thing. It’s so sudden you can’t
stop it. I always pictured myself, even in the Olympic setting and losing in the
finals match, third period with 15 seconds left, hitting the ‘Flying Squirrel’
and everyone going crazy. I still picture it.” Though
Coleman’s teammates chide him for the move, they also embrace his guts for
using it. “They
should probably put him on medication for even trying that,” teammate Justin
Lester said jokingly. “He’s crazy for doing it, but that’s what’s
going to make him good in the long run. You’ve got guys like him who are
innovative and aren’t afraid to wrestle.’’ “It’s
definitely a move of desperation,’’ said Dremiel Byers, the elder statesman
and heavyweight of the Greco-Roman team at age 37. “It’s
his wild card. It lets the opponent know he’ll do anything to win.’’ U.S.
Wrestling Greco-Roman coach Steve Fraser said Coleman’s flash has “brought
a lot of attention to wrestling and Greco. He’s talented, hungry and young
… and a pleasure to work with. He’s a very coachable kid. We love him.” The
“Flying Squirrel’’ craze reached such a pitch that Coleman recently
bought himself a live flying squirrel pet and named him Rocky, who is about 45
days old and eats lot of apples and seeds. “They
bond with their owners,’’ Coleman said. “He sleeps during the day
and is very nocturnal, so I’ll take him out of his cage and he’ll crawl
on me and fly to the curtains. Eventually, when he bonds with me, I’ll be
able to take him out in my pocket and he’ll stay there without flying away.’’ Coleman
dreams of flying away from these Olympics with some hardware. Something gold,
perhaps. (The New York Post)

Pop Culture Expo Hits Sydney, Australia - 16th June 2012 The
Supanova pop culture expo has returned to Sydney, Australia, and has warmly embraced
the pop culture phenom which is taking place at Olympic Park, Homebush, in Sydney's
west. It's
a 3 day pop culture mania bringing together fans, actors, game players, information
and tons of merchandise and collectibles. Make no mistake - this is big business,
but also lots of fun. It brings out the kid lurking inside all of us, no matter
what our age. Witnessing
the general public dress up as their favourite hero, heroine or monster was just
as much fun as the official exhibitions. Coming
to the expo to join in the fun (and big business) are over 40 international stars
from various shows, films, franchises and worlds including Christopher Lloyd (Back
To The Future’s Doc Brown), Yvonne Craig (the original Batgirl), Natalia
Tena (Nymphadora Tonks in the Harry Potter series, Osha in Game Of Thrones) and
Verne Troyer (Mini-Me from the Austin Powers films). Even
our favorite real life superheroes of Australian pro wrestling - AWF Wrestling
turned up and put on some very solid chain wrestling and brawling to the delight
of the crowd. The wrestlers were also a big favorite with the media and the brawlers
got somewhat crowd mobbed with famed actor Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) from 'Austin
Powers' fame joining in the fun and games. The
Christopher Lloyd question and answer session was very entertaining and educational,
and was a much sought after attraction for both news media and fans. Lloyd shared
stories from his illustrious acting and show business career, much of which has
been pop culture included such as 'Back To The Future' franchise, where he portrayed
Dr. Emmett Brown. Lloyd even talked about the cult film fav 'Suburban Commando',
which also featured pro wrestling living legend, Hulk Hogan (not known for great
acting), but a very entertaining showman, none the less. Lloyd told the crowd
of 500 plus that he enjoyed working with Hulk and that he was a really nice guy
and didn't pretend to be a great actor. One lucky fan asked Lloyd if he could
have a "high five", and the actor obliged, which got a nice reaction
from the jam packed crowd. More

Star also at Supanova Sydney... Star

blonde is in Sydney for the Supanova Pop Culture Expo at Sydney Showground, Olympic
Park. Best
known for playing mean girl Harmony Kendall on 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer', McNab
has enjoyed a successful career as a modern day scream queen. From
the popular Hatchet horror movie franchise to spooky shows such as Buffy and Angel,
the 32-year-old says she has come to feel comfortable within the genre and loves
"a good death scene". "It’s
hilarious. I never thought I’d be considered a scream queen, but I guess
I’ll take it. "I
think I gravitate more towards comedy and comedy can sometimes be in a darker
vein, like sarcasm." The
edgy stuff started early for McNab, with her big screen debut opposite Christina
Ricci's Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family movie and its sequel. At
the age of 16 she auditioned for a supporting role on Joss Whedon's Buffy The
Vampire Slayer, a move that would change her life. "We
were on a brand new network and the show was based off a B-movie," she says. "No
one expected a spin-off to come of it or such a great fan reaction. No one could
anticipate how welcomed and received the show was. "In
the beginning we never knew whether if we were going to get killed off. "You’d
get the script and skip to the end to make sure you weren’t going to die." McNab
experienced quite a character turn on Buffy when her superficial character was
transformed into a vampire and eventually went on to join the spin-off series
Angel. "I
was flattered". "To
have Joss call you and have him ask you to be a part of anything he does is pretty
awesome." Now
that Whedon has found mainstream and box-office success with the hit of the year
- 'The Avengers' - McNab says his loyal friends couldn't be happier. "He’s
such a genius. He's just proved to the industry what he can do." Supanova

Man Int News Hulk
Hogan Pro Wrestling God Tours Casinos; Sports Entertainment News Update, by Greg
Tingle - 23rd January 2012 From
Bondi Beach, Australia to Japan, Canada, the USA - most of the world knows of
Hulk Hogan. Who
can forget the Hulk-A-Mania Australian tour from a few years ago where he feuded
with long time rival Ric Flair, and how about the wrestling angle at the then
Star City Casino (now The Star), where it appeared at first that Hogan and Flair
went at it for real when Flair implied he "had" Hogan's wife "Jennifer",
before Hulk did! Now, that would start a fight and boy did the blood flow. The
action was so hot that Seven News decided to purchase the video camera footage
from the Media Man agency for a considerable sum. The
red did turn to green, as the old wrestling kayfabe saying goes, but not anywhere
near as much as the Australian promoter or Hogan would have preferred. The
arena numbers in Australia were on the downside so much that it was largely responsible
for TNA Wrestling deciding not to to ahead with an Australian tour. The
only American (or actually global) pro wrestling - sports entertainment company
that he since graced Australian shores is the one and only WWE, headed up by promoter
genius Vince McMahon. Once in a while Hogan teases a return to the WWE, and the
two do have some line of communication. Take note that McMahon has old Hogan rival
Flair getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame again (with the other 3 Four
Horseman members) the night before WrestleMania, so anything can and does still
happen in the WWE. Read up on other recent Media Man WWE news for more on that
matter. This
writer would like to see Hogan and Flair both become official WWE spokespersons
at some point, but if its to be - they need to make the move soon. Father time
is ticking away.
Pro wrestling cousin of sorts, UFC from the MMA world is
about to hit Sydney, Australia for a third time, but it ain't wrestling. Note,
Brock Lensnar from the UFC and pro wrestling world, has left the UFC recently
suffering a loss at the hands of Alistair Overeem at the MGM Grand Garden Arena
in Las Vegas, USA. Hardcore
pro wrestling fans of the WWF and ECK ilk will likely know this bit of trivia.
It was Lesnar that "injured" Hogan's back in 2002 which was the official
reason that The Hulk didn't visit down under back then. The back story is that
Hogan and McMahon couldn't come to business terms. What's left to say but that's
the pro wrestling industry. Wrestling
icon Hulk Hogan was at Speaking Rock Casino and Entertainment Center last week.
Hogan was there for the Micro Championship Wrestling event held at the venue. Hogan
was accompanied by the Nasty Boys, Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags, as well as Ed
Leslie, better known as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, the former WWF
Tag Team Champion (having held the title with wrestling legend Greg "The
Hammer" Valentine). Micro
Championship Wrestling has a show promoted by Hogan on TruTV. The show, which
screens as midget wrestling which has been up and running since August. Note we
called them midgets, not dwarfs, so haters lay off ok. Some of the wrestlers also
like to be called "little people". Whatever, they are full of excitement,
talent and fun, and don't mind sharing it with the world. Australia's
Foxtel doesn't currently get TruTV, so we can't enjoy Hogan's midget wrestling
show on the box at this stage, but we're hopeful time will change that. Foxtel
is going to soon get a new Factual channel, so there's hope yet wrestling fans. Hogan
is the most recognisable figure in the history of professional wrestling from
his success in the business since the 1980s. Hogan's also had many of movies and
a host of other high profile shows and projects. Hogan's star power even eclipsed
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Gorgeous George (Wagner) and Bruno Sammartino
(for you old school wrestling fans out there). Hogan
enjoyed high level feuds with the likes of Andre the Giant, "Rowdy"
Roddy Piper, Paul "Mr Wonderful" Orndorff, King Kong Bundy, Jake "The
Snake" Roberts, "The Magnificent" Don Muraco, Dwayne "The
Rock" Johnson and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. On
the big screen Hogan has starred in "No Holds Barred," "Suburban
Commando" and "Mr. Nanny." He has also made appearances in Rocky
III and Walker, Texas Ranger. One can argue that current WWE superstars, John
Cena, "The Rock" and Steve Austin took off where Hogan finished as far
as mixing wrestling and movies. Roddy Piper is widely regarded as the most talented
actor that pro wrestling ever produced. From time to time Piper does his famous
"Pipers Pit" talk show segment for the WWE as well as helping out a
few other smaller wrestling promotions. Hogan
even had his own reality TV show called "Hogan Knows Best.", and it
wasn't long before daughter Brooke, did her own "Brooke Knows Best"
show. Hogan
became a household name while in Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation (WWF),
now known as WWE, which enjoyed a live event in Las Cruces, New Mexico on Sunday
at the Pan American Centre. He
is currently signed to the Impact Wrestling - Total Nonstop Action wrestling promotion
and has a range of business projects on the go including in the TV, gaming, casino
and internet b2b sectors. Recently,
Hogan has made headlines on celebrity websites for his divorce, his son Nick's
car crash, daughter Brooke's music career and the pending removal of his world
famous moustache (to satisfy some Hollywood movie producers). Other Ric
Flair is almost as famous as long time rival Hulk Hogan, who along with Flair
is currently under contract to Impact Wrestling. Most would argue that Flair is
one of the greatest pro wrestlers in history, while Hogan has earned more income
from wrestling and wrestling related activities than just about anyone else. *
The writer has a b2b agreement with the WWE (WWE Shop) *
Wrestling legend Andre The Giant gets online slot game via Richard Branson's Virgin
Casino. *
Hogan recently released his Kinnect-based "Hulk Hogan's Main Event"
game which got mixed reviews from the gaming industry. The game promo goes "Get
pumped and bring the pain in the first full-body wrestling game on Kinect for
Xbox 360! In Hulk Hogan’s Main Event Hulkamaniacs can train with wrestling
icon Hulk Hogan himself. As your mentor, Hulk will help you build your own wrestling
personality and school you in the art of showmanship to win over the crowd. Entertain
roaring fans with brutal stunts, combos, even devastating chair hits, that will
knock your opponent to the mat or out of the ring. The crazier and wilder your
motions, the more high impact your wrestling performance is in your living room
ring!" *
Hulk Hogan is also tipped to be soon getting his own online slot game. His Hulk-A-Mania
game is being developed by Endemol Games. Endemol is the company behind the famous
Big Brother franchise, so you know they know about marketing and publicity. The
Media Man agency is tipped to soon come to business terms with Endemol.

News Media: WWE Australian Tour; International Hulk Hogan, Austin and Piper News,
by Greg Tingle Professional
wrestling aka "sports entertainment" continues to be a red hot commodity
in both Australian and overseas markets. The
United States may be the birthplace of pro wrestling but Australians have long
been recognised as some of the most passionate fans on the planet, dating back
to the good old days of the original World Championship Wrestling which was broadcast
on Kerry Packer's Channel Nine circa 1970 - 78. Early

Let's bodyslam ourselves into what's news on some of the world's hottest pro wrestlers...
"Stone
Cold" Steve Austin - 'STONE COLD' STEVE AUSTIN Tebow Can HAVE My 3:16 If
... Before there
was Tebow 3:16 in the NFL ... there was Austin 3:16 in the WWE ... and now the
wrestling legend says he's willing to surrender his iconic numbers to the NFL
star, pending one GIANT condition. TMZ
spoke with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin -- who tells us he watched Tebow's
Mile High Miracle this weekend and was blown away when he learned Tim threw for
exactly 316 yards in the playoff victory. FYI
-- the numbers have a special meaning with Stone Cold, who created the famous
faux bible verse back in the '90s to humiliate his enemies -- "Austin 3:16
says I just whooped your ass!!!" Now,
Austin tells us, "Austin 3:16 still rules" ... but adds, "If Tebow
can throw for 316 yards again this weekend then hell, he can have the numbers
and I'll have no problem with it." Austin
continues, "A guy named John was using it before me ... so if Tebow can do
it again, more power to him!" "I
wish him all the luck in the world," Austin says ... adding, "I'm not
a Denver fan but Tim's a great role model for kids." (Credit: TMZ) Hulk
Hogan... Hulk
Hogan to shave off his iconic moustache... Hulk
Hogan is going to shave off his iconic moustache. The
wrestling legend has revealed he is planning to take a razor to his famous facial
hair and long hair in the coming weeks for some movie auditions. Hulk
- who has starred in several films, including 'Rocky III' and 'Suburban Commando'
- said: "I'm getting ready to go to some auditions; I'm getting ready to
shave my head and moustache so that should be scary!" The
TNA Wrestling star has also revealed he had to have a "hole drilled"
into his head to clear an infection in his mouth. The
58-year-old grappler underwent surgery in October to get dental implants and then
after having a teeth mold fitted he got an infection which wouldn't clear up which
was revealed to have been caused by a metal tack left in his mouth by a dentist. He
told TMZ.com: "The theme for today is kids take care of your teeth, because
if you stuff candy in your mouth you're going to rot your teeth out. "After
many years of not taking care of teeth correctly I had to finally have surgery
and a couple of glitches in the system and we got an infection. "I
had surgery and they drilled a hole in my head - which I needed to let all the
hot air out - cleaned everything up so I'm good to go. But it feels like somebody
punched me in the face." Over
the course of his five decade spanning career, Hulk has only been seen a handful
of times without his moustache in the ring and on screen. It
is not yet known if the 12-time world heavyweight champion will recover in time
to join the rest of the TNA roster for the Maximum IMPACT Tour of the UK later
this month. The
tour kicks off on Thursday, Jan. 26 at the Nottingham Capital FM Arena before
heading to the Manchester MEN Arena. The
company's flagship TV show 'IMPACT Wrestling' - which is broadcast on Challenge
TV in the U.K. and Ireland and Spike TV in Canada and the U.S. - will then be
filmed for the first time outside of the U.S. at London's Wembley Arena on Jan.
28. The tour will
feature a host wrestling's biggest names, including Kurt Angle and AJ Styles and
will also be the last ever appearance made in the UK by grappling icon Sting.

Roddy Piper... Wrestling
Legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper Reveals One Last Match... Professional
wrestling legend, and star of the cult horror classic movie by John Carpenter
"They Live", Roddy Piper announced on his Twitter that he expects to
wrestle one last match. A fan asked Piper about the possibility of having a final
match and Piper responded, via the social networking site, "I have not been
asked to be in Royal Rumble. I tell u a secret, promise to keep it? I am going
to do 1 more balls to wall match!" Andre
The Giant (the late) - set to appear in an online slot game at Bwin.Party Digital
Entertainment - PartyCasino. The game was developed by North Sydney based NextGen
Gaming. You can trust the Media Man and Wrestling News Media network to keep following
up the story. WWE
producing "Legends House"... WWE
continues to develope a slew of new content for the launch of their upcoming 24/7
channel, WWE Network. "Legends House" is set to be a part of the launch
as a reality series focusing on WWE legends living together in the a house. WWE
has promoted the show and the new network via WWE RAW on the USA Network. The
concept of the show is expected to be similar to traditional reality set-up like
MTV's "Real World" and CBS's "Big Brother", yet with larger-than-life
personalities of WWE peformers it will be must-see TV for any wrestling fan, as
well as for fans of the reality TV genre. No
legendary stars have been confirmed for the series yet, but there's plenty of
speculation.
The very controversial and foul mouthed Iron Sheik is rumored
to a part of the cast. On social media many fans have chatted about what legends
they would want to see on "Legends House." Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Roddy
Piper, Jimmy Hart, and Dusty Rhodes were among some of the names being tossed
around between fans on Twitter and Facebook. We're hoping Jake "The Snake"
Roberts, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Sgt Slaughter, Billy "Superstar"
Graham, Don "Magnificent" Muraco, Paul "Mr Wonderful" Orndorff,
"Cowboy" Bob Orton, and Dusty "The American" Dream also get
serious consideration. A similar pitch was made to Media Man three years ago,
however at the time a number of financial related aspects slowed concept to reality.
This time around the project looks to be moving full speed ahead and the Media
Man agency will be offering strong media coverage should the project keep moving
forward. For the record, we think its going to cross the finish line and put a
nice little pay cheque in a few people's pockets. Let's hope the legends are looked
after fairly for all their blood, sweat and tears they put out over the years. The
Late News... Shaquille
O’Neal Close to WWE WrestleMania Deal?; Latest on Brock Lesnar’s Return... According
to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Shaquille "Shaq" O’Neal has
reportedly been closing in on his WWE WrestleMania deal, and he may have already
agreed to business terms. WWE
creative has been told to start thinking about weaving O’Neal into storylines
- likely for a match with The Big Show (Paul Wight). Due
to its John Cena vs. The Rock main-event, WrestleMania 28 is a strong contender
to set the all-time buyrate record, and WWE is striving to do everything it can
to push the interest and buy rates to the moon. Adding Shaquille O’Neal into
the equation, especially with Shaq should help further the event’s must see
statue as WWE’s biggest WrestleMania of all-time. Regarding
a Brock Lesnar return, no one has been provided any reason to expect it will happen
at this year’s WrestleMania, but it might just happen. WWE top brass Vince
McMahon reportedly told at least one creative staff member that it is not a foregone
conclusion a Lesnar return would include the return of Paul Heyman as his manager. Recently
returned WWE Superstar, Chris Jericho, for what its worth, has been having little
verbal jabs at Lesnar, so we will have to see if that develops into something
more. In any event,
this years WrestleMania should be awesome. For

News Media: WWE, Kevin Nash, Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Mick Foley,
Andre The Giant, Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, UFC - 7th November 2011 Kevin
Nash aka 'Diesel' returns to WWE Raw on Monday's episode from the United Kingdon.
Nash is scheduled to resume his feud with an "injured" Triple H as part
of the build-up to an expected singles match in the near future. Plus, more build-up
for The Rock & John Cena teaming up at Survivor Series. Nash continues to
run his official website, sporting gaming in the mix, but his site could do with
a major update, not that ours is perfect either. Great to see Nash become relevant
again and Triple H should bring out the best in him, but don't expect a Shawn
Michaels 5 star classic. WWE
TV Network News Update... During
WWE's quarterly conference call with investors this past Thursday, WWE CEO Vince
McMahon had some harsh words about talk show host Oprah's cable TV network and
contrasted the Oprah model with WWE Network plans, which McMahon was very optimistic
about during the conference call. "I
would say I suppose the one of the notorious ones (branded TV Network models)
would be the Oprah Network, which is a miserable failure on all accounts because
you have a brand like Oprah and it does take a genius to figure out that, 'Okay,
why don’t we have Oprah do what she does best in our very own network,' and
that's the one thing that doesn't happen," McMahon said. "So, in terms
of the introduction of a network theory, you're saying, 'Okay, let's take Oprah,
but let’s don’t use, let’s not whatever we do, we don’t use
her and what she does best. Let’s just try and take an Oprah name and try
and brand that in a big round about way,' which obviously from a common sense
standpoint, it doesn't make sense... We know what our WWE attributes are. So,
we have the opportunity to enhance all of that and bring further viewers, lapse
viewers, and as well as current viewers and new viewers from a younger age set
of two to 11 into the network, which will be extraordinary, because we are giving
the audience what they want, not what they don't want." Mick
Foley WWE Return... Mick
Foley returned to WWE at Wednesday's Raw house show in Dublin, Ireland, which
started WWE's bi-annual European Tour. Foley, who has hinted at a WWE return for
several weeks, is in the U.K. for his own promotional tour.
Piper campaigning for Piper's Pit with Rock & Cena...
WWE
Hall of Famer Roddy Piper has taken to Twitter to campaign for a Piper's Pit segment
with The Rock and John Cena prior to their tag team match at Survivor Series. "IF
THE WWE DOESN'T PUT THE ROCK, CENA, PIPER IN PIPER'S PIT THEY ARE CHEATING EVERY
FAN IN THE WWE UNIVERSE. THINK THERE AFRAID? i'M NOT," Piper tweeted Friday.
"SPAM THE WWE FOR PIPERS PIT WITH CENA AND ROCK. I PROMISE, IT WILL BE EPIC."
Ric Flair staying put in TNA; Interesting in more business deals...
For
the meantime Flair will be staying in Impact Wrestling (formally known as TNA).
Flair continues to endorse Carolina's Education Lottery, and is keen to see a
Ric Flair online slot game become a reality, following in the footsteps of Hulk
Hogan and the late Andre The Giant, both expected to have their slots online in
a number of months. WrestleMania

Sylvester Stallone speaks to Entertainment Tonight about his Steve Austin injury
during 'The Expendables'...
Entertainment
Tonight's Nancy O'Dell (one-time WWE Raw guest host) caught up with Sylvester
Stallone on-set at his new movie, "Bullet to the Head," to discuss the
film's progression before an April 2012 scheduled release date. Stallone noted
he's still feeling the effects of neck surgery that was required after he suffered
an injury at the hands of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shooting "The
Expendables" last year. Austin was required to tackle Stallone, who accidentally
landed on a pile of bricks. Stallone said, "It's never really the same. "You're
just able to function a little bit better."

Hulk
Hogan and Diamond Dallas Page are scheduled to be featured in an upcoming movie,
"Black River," that is currently in production. According to a synopsis
released by filmmakers Corn Bred films, the movie centers around several murders,
a local town secret, and a father who lost his son and whose life "rapidly
deteriorates into a storm of violence, murder, and small town intrigue."
UFC 138 Gets Fox Sports...
After
more than a devade of working his arse off and telling anyone who would listen
that mixed martial arts would one day surpass soccer as the world’s most
popular sport, UFC president Dana White has finally gotten to the super big time
in the sports media world. The
UFC, the major league of MMA, will debut on network television on Saturday when
Fox Sports airs the heavyweight title bout between champion Cain Velasquez and
No. 1 contender Junior dos Santos live at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT from the Honda Center
in Anaheim, Calif. The
seven-year deal between the UFC and Fox, which runs through 2018, is an affirmation
of the brilliant work done in the last decade by White and UFC co-founders Frank
and Lorenzo Fertitta (casino, gaming and entertainment entrepreneurs from Station
Casinos) in building a sport from the ground up. The
Velasquez-dos Santos match up is an interesting clash of styles, pitting Velasquez’s
top line wrestling and awesome conditioning against dos Santos’ terrific
boxing and underrated jiu jitsu. The
match up would have been a huge pay-per-view main eventer, but when he finally
landed the network deal, White didn't hesitated to offer it as the first Fox main
event. The show will essentially serve as a one-hour promo for the UFC, and there
could be no better way to showcase the sport at its best than by putting the two
top fighters in the sport’s marquee division on network television in front
of the largest possible audience. “This
is a throwback to the old days of boxing,” White said. “We are putting
a big fight – a huge fight – on free TV to expose this thing to a new
audience. Our goal has always been to bring big fights back to network television.
We are thinking long-term for the future of this sport. It is an investment in
the future of the UFC. Fans that have never seen the UFC before will see this
show, and that’s why we decided to put Cain and Junior in this position. “I
know for a fact this is going to be an awesome fight. I know it is going to be
great. That’s why it was these two [fighters] in this position. I have no
worries at all this is going to be a great fight.” As
its popularity has grown, the UFC has added a vast array of businesses. There
is now a UFC video game, a UFC magazine and UFC-branded gyms. There are DVDs,
trading cards, action figures, fan festivals and tons of clothing. The
turnaround that White and the Fertittas engineered with the UFC, which they bought
for $2 million in Jan. 2001, is every bit as impressive as what Vince McMahon
did with the old WWWE -Titan Sports, bringing it to WrestleMania and sports entertainment
level. White
and the Fertitta brothers engineered a similar turnaround with the UFC. Less than
five years into their ownership, they were $44 million in debt and on the verge
of selling the company. White,
though, believed deeply in the sport and in putting on the best, most evenly matched
fights he could. Then, he encouraged his fighters to compete in a fan-friendly
style, awarding cash bonuses for Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night and
Submission of the Night. In addition, White often pays fighters locker-room bonuses,
which are above and beyond what fighters are contracted to earn, if he likes their
matches. Those bonuses have gone in excess of $1 million at times. Making
the best fights he could and rewarding the fighters who delivered entertaining
bouts are key reasons for the UFC’s skyrocketing popularity and is largely
what made the Fox deal possible. The
UFC flourished on cable. Its deal with Spike saved the company and helped it to
get to the point where every major broadcast network had some degree of interest. It’s
still got a long way to go however. UFC fighters aren’t nearly as well known
as stars in other sports or sports entertainment. No UFC fighter is close to WWE's
The Rock, John Cena, Steve Austin or Impact Wrestling's Hulk Hogan. White
is banking on the Fox deal to help bring the UFC into the mainstream. Lightweight
contender Joe Lauzon, who fought on “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show
on Spike, is convinced Fox will propel the sport to the next level. “This
is just the beginning,” Lauzon said. “The UFC took a huge jump when
they got on TV with ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ [though] no one really understood
how big of a deal it was until after the fact. Look how far the UFC has come with
just Spike, basically. “Now
that they have Fox, and it’s going to take another tremendous jump. I think
that Lorenzo Fertitta was saying it’s a commercial for the UFC. They’re
going to use these Fox shows to get attention and funnel people into the pay-per-view.” Prior
to this deal, Velasquez would be preparing to defend his belt on pay-per-view.
But White, 42, grew up in an era when there was still plenty of live boxing on
television. He religiously watched fights on the weekends on ABC’s “Wide
World of Sports” and during the week on USA Network’s “Tuesday
Night Fights.” The
biggest stars in the sport competed in those fights. But when pay-per-view came
along, boxing promoters took their stars off network television and put them on
PPV, where they were fighting in front of a significantly smaller audience. White
never forgot that, and when he took over the UFC, he vowed that he would honor
the “Wide World of Sports” tradition and put big fights on free television
when he got the opportunity. There
are few bigger bouts than a heavyweight championship match. Velasquez, who defeated
former WWE megastar Brock Lesnar 13 months ago to win the belt, is an unlikely
star in many ways. A
two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State, he is soft-spoken and polite
and not the kind of person to draw attention to himself. But he’s a fierce
fighter who has become a fan favorite because of his aggressive, entertaining
style. He
was on the set of Fox’s NFL pre-game show and has made dozens of appearances
as he’s prepared to face dos Santos. Seeing the growth of the sport up-close
has been mind-boggling to him. “I
saw it growing because it’s a very fun sport to watch, and it appeals to
a young audience,” Velasquez said. “I never saw this, though. This is
well beyond what I thought would ever be possible.” And
it’s only going to get bigger. The Fox contract will expose the sport to
many who haven’t given it a chance and will help White cultivate an entirely
new segment of fans. The
UFC may never become bigger worldwide than soccer, as White predicts, but that’s
hardly a problem. The
combination of a network TV deal and White’s firm commitment to putting first-rate
fights consistently on Fox will guarantee that the UFC’s growth spurt is
nowhere close to being finished. Make
no mistake, UFC is right up their with WWE and most say its already far surpassed
professional boxing (while taking away legions of fans from the sweet science). White
and his UFC are on top of the world, right next to WWE's Vince McMahon, who he
has deep respect for. News Wrestling

News Media: Snooki, 'The Rock' and 'Mania: When Headlocks and Hollywood Collide
- 1st April 2011 One
is the queen of MTV's Jersey Shore; the other is WWE's resident Mexican aristocrat.
One is famous for being perhaps the worst of the tanned, bouffant-wearing, gum-chomping
Italian stereotype. The other invites fans' wrath with a wink and a smile as he
drives the world's most expensive cars to the ring and insists on being introduced
by his own personal ring announcer - in Spanish. Only
one entity - and one extravaganza - could bring these two very different stars
together: World Wrestling Entertainment's 27th annual WrestleMania on Sunday.
Snooki will participate in a six-person, inter-gender grudge match while Alberto
Del Rio will vie for the World Heavyweight Championship in his WrestleMania debut.
Both promise to thrill 70,000-plus screaming fans in Atlanta's Georgia Dome. "It's
going to be the peak of my career," said Del Rio, a native of Mexico. "My
family, my entire country, is going to be proud of me because I'm going to go
out there and become the new World Heavyweight Champion. I'm going to die out
there trying to become the World Heavyweight Champion." So
what's behind the infatuation with WrestleMania? Why do fans come from around
the world and dole out hard-earned money to watch this spectacle on pay-per-view?
What is it about WrestleMania that makes fathers and sons and daughters jump out
of their seats and grown, muscle-bound men in tights speak in hushed reverence? Simply
put, it is pro wrestling's greatest annual event. All wrestlers who grew up as
fans dream of performing in it and look forward to watching it. Even in the choreographed
world of professional wrestling, there is nothing staged about the emotion and
excitement from anyone who performs at WrestleMania. "As
a kid, all I wanted to do was be a wrestler," said Del Rio. "Now that
I'm here in WWE - WrestleMania is our NBA, our Super Bowl, our World Series of
professional wrestling. As a wrestler, as a performer, I always dreamed of being
in something like that." For
the fan, WrestleMania's appeal is as nuanced as wrestling's longtime popularity.
Wrestling's magnetism goes hand-in-hand with the dawn of the television age in
the 1950s, but WrestleMania took it to another level. It is a marriage of headlocks
and Hollywood that began in 1985, when WWE Chairman Vince McMahon teamed up the
charisma of Hulk Hogan and the diabolical lunacy of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper
with the star power of Mr. T and Cyndi Lauper. (Credit:

News Media: Shawn Michaels' Speech At WWE Hall Of Fame Induction 2011: 'Thank
You' - 2nd April 2011 Thank
you. ["HBK!" chant. "Thank you Shawn!" chant. Whoa! Some other
chant.] The damnedest thing on my way to my Hall of Fame speech, a damn roast
broke out. Thanks. I knew there was no way you was gonna say anything nice about
me. For the 15 years we've known each other he never has, and he never will. He's
like the Fonz trying to say he's sorry. [Muttering.] I
know how tough it was for you to say . That was a huge deal for him to even recognize
that I worked in this line of work for 36 years. You're not aware of this, but
we shared a big moment there. There's some psychiatrists going, "They're
starting to heal." I'm
nervous, so don't give me cat calls. [Cat calls.] I've been going over what I'm
gonna say. ["One more match!" chant.] You're killing me with the one
more match thing. Seriously, I know it's good TV, he'll have a nervous breakdown.
We sold out the building! He had a heart attack! ["We
love you Shawn!"] I'm serious. For the love of God, help me out here. I don't
even know where to start. You know there are things that go between ... I can't
say, I'm not supposed to say. That's one of the reasons I was OK to retire. Coincidentally,
this is the first year where we're not doing it live. They'll chop it up in post
to make sure it's ok to air. When
I was 19 years old, I didn't want to be a sports entertainer. I didn't know at
the time. I told my mom and dad, I want to do what those guys do it on TV. Making
it was going to be going out in San Antonio and wresting in front of 25 people.
Fast forward, and I'm a 45-year-old man, and I get to stand here and say thank
you. Along the
way, I wasn't really aware of it. I was raised by a loving family, sitting right
down here, who loved me every step of the way and supported me. But for whatever
reason when I started doing this line of work at 19 I spent the next 26 years
searching for validation. I don't even know why. But what my peers thought of
me and what you thought of me was the most important thing in my life. And I worked
myself into the ground. It was so important to me that you thought I did a good
job. I know that sounds patronizing, but I want to thank you so much for giving
me that. I'm very
thankful to all the other inductees and especially Triple H for making this fun
and amusing. Because as much as I've tried to not make it a deep and heavy cry
fest, I can't do it. There are no words to express how much I lived and breathed
to do this every night for so many years. And it begs the question, how am I gonna
be OK away from this? Last
Monday the Undertaker had mentioned Shawn Michaels will walk into the Hall of
Fame with a ton of regrets. If this had happened in 1998, that might've been true.
At that time, I was good at my job, but there's no way I could've stood here with
no regrets. And although my family would've been proud of me, I know there would've
been a little disappointment for them and a certain guy backstage whose name I'm
not allowed to mention. [Crowd WOOs. Guy next to me says "RIC FLAIR!"
I believe him!] I
came back in 2002 after being told I'd never wrestle again, for one more match.
That was nine years ago. I'm thankful I can stand before you with absolutely no
regrets. [Missed a part about God and his family. Sorry.] Since they came into
my life, I've had not a regret. Not a second goes by that I'm not thankful. The
most precious gift of all is my little family. I love you all so much, and I want
to thank you for being so selfless and letting daddy finish what he started. It
was very important to me to come back and go away on my own terms. I love my two
children more than anything in the world. Thank you so much for letting daddy
go wrestle. [I have a daughter. Totally about to tear up.] There
are countless WWE superstars that I've had to create with. I'd love to mention
everybody, but I don't want to make this too long. I don't wanna be that guy.
[Crowd WOOs.] You guys are implying that. I'm not saying that. Every year there's
somebody, and we're like, dude there's WrestleMania tomorrow. I'm gonna assume
you know who you are. Because
I did my best to make sure before I left to tell you how awesome it was for me,
and how much I appreciate you guys [makes crazy hand gestures] putting up with
me when I wanna do something you don't do all that much. I appreciate your time
and patience. I appreciate you being a part of my life. A lot of times all we've
got is each other. We're like guys in a fox hole together. But when we're with
each other, we're all we got. We can stab each other in the back, but can't nobody
else do it. I
wanna thank you for allowing me to be a part of that fraternity. We're always
gonna look at everybody else and say you're not gonna understand it. And that's
OK. It's something we're gonna take to our graves. And
lastly there's all of you. The WWE universe, the fans. I love every one of you,
even when you bother me at 5 in the morning, even when I cuss you, you still come
back and forgive me. You have been a part of my life and family for so many years,
it begs the question, why would a 19-year-old kid from a wonderful upbringing
seek validation from strangers? One
thing people used to always say that separated me is that I could make a connection
with you. I don't know if I did a good job, but for the last 26 years whether
you were connected to me I have no idea, but I was connected to you. I have never
won Most Popular, I wasn't the prom king, I wasn't the homecoming king, so I guess
in my adult life the most important thing to me was that you believed in me and
thought I was good. On this night, 2011 Hall of Fame, I feel it, I thank you,
I love my ring. And I love each and every one of you. I
know this has been sappy. I can't help it. And if you're not down with that, I
got two words for you. ("Suck it!" from the crowd.) WWE
News: Jim Ross new blog on WWE Hall of Fame & announcing future, Daniel Bryan
interview on Miz, Cena, cattle mutilation

James Caldwell, Torch assistant editor --
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has published a new blog on jrsbarbq.com
discussing this year's WWE Hall of Fame class, Paul Orndorff's cancer revelation,
historical Royal Rumble events, his announcing future, and other topics in the
news. On
the Hall of Fame: "I hope that the class does have a WCW/Atlanta feel but
the class will likely be 6-8 inductions tops. Plus, WWE will want to not over
do posthumous inductions if at all possible." On
his announcing future: "Have I called my last event in any thing? I hope
not and that's not my plan but my broadcasting work may not include regular WWE
work but something outside the genre." Ross said he feels he's a "long
shot" for the Univ. of Oklahoma announcing job, but he's "not retreating"
on pursuing his dream job. --
WWE U.S. champion Daniel Bryan has an interview with Jon Waldman of Slam Wrestling
covering a variety of different subjects from his first year in WWE. Bryan
said he would have liked to have learned more from The Miz on Season 1 of NXT,
he hasn't seen his infamous 2003 Velocity match against yellow-pants-wearing John
Cena "in years," and he won't use the Cattle Mutilation submission on
TV. On
possibly wrestling Cena again: "I thought it was a good match and it gets
me excited because I know we both progressed in our careers and if we ever got
to wrestle again it would be really good." On
not using Cattle Mutilation on TV: "I didn't really believe the Cattle Mutilation
would get over with the WWE Universe, and the reason why is because it's such
a TV-oriented product. There are a lot of downfalls to it. You can't see the other
guy's face, and on top of that, it's very difficult to do it to big guys; I don't
have long arms." Tough
Enough Returns, by Greg Tingle - 7th January 2011 WWE
officially announced on Monday that USA Network has ordered ten episodes of the
"Tough Enough" series beginning Monday, April 4, the night after WrestleMania

Professional
wrestling, or pro wrestling, is the performance, management, and marketing of
a simulated sport and performing art which combines elements of catch wrestling,
mock combat and theatre. Modern professional wrestling usually features simulated
striking and grappling techniques, which are modelled after diverse sets of global
wrestling and pugilistic styles. Professional
wrestling can vary from sports entertainment like WWE to a legitimate sport like
Japanese wrestling and even lucha libre style wrestling found in Mexico. (Credit:
