Today's News

R.I.P Dead Wrestlers:

I was going to start today's news with the double landmark of Raw 1000, and the 3rd anniversary of R.I.P Dead Wrestlers... Oh Well...

I know I said I would never take the page down, unfortunately today, I have had too, (hopefully for a short time). We were visited by a troll, today, not he first, probably not the last, but this gelatinous d-bag was ''Special''...

I will tell you about Punk's Crazy Fan... Here's mine and why R.I.P Dead Wrestlers is offline.

This guy took offence to a post I made thanking fans, for joining and marking the third anniversary of the page, accusing me of dis-respecting the memories of the wrestlers by mentioning, the landmark, this coming from a guy who accused Kharma of inventing the death of her child, and called one of the women on the page a whore, he also questioned a story I posted, then refused to look at the proof he asked for, so I got bored and banned him.

He went on too repeatedly, report the page to Facebook, in the hopes of getting the page shut down, and posted the link to the site on other groups attacking the page, and trying to get other idiots to troll the page.

He says the page is ''Dangerous'' because I ban people for expressing their opinion, in the 3 years the page has existed, he is the one and only person I have booted, the page is full of discussion and debate, look at any post regarding Chris Benoit to see that.

I want to, and hope that I can (ASAP) bring the page back, but not until this passes.

R.I.P Dead Wrestlers was meant to be somewhere for people to go to remember the stars we loved, and loved to hate, not a place for under bridge dwellers, to crap all over...

Thanks for your support

Vince on UFC:

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is not a fan of UFC...

''We’re in show business, they are a sport. Their ratings are abysmal.''

Dolph Ziggler:

When asked who he would like to face at WrestleMania, he said...

“If I’m World Champion, I’d rather be in the ring with Zack because he worked hard to be there.”

These two are great friends in the back, so I'm not surprised he backed Ryder.

Number Of Dead Wrestlers:

The New York Post have posted an article listing the number of past WWE stars that have competed on Raw, and have since died under the age of 45... that number is 28. He also mentioned 6 others that have died aged 45+. (Link).

Zack Ryder:

Has confirmed that he legitimately injured his back, earlier this year when Kane pushed his wheelchair off the ramp. The angle led to many stars past and current slamming WWE, for risking a young stars future.

Kane to retire?:

Kane has started working in a backstage capacity, as a member of the production team, he says...

“Now that I have seen a little more about the production side of it, you realize how impressive doing a live television show every week is, and everything that goes into it and the changes that have to be made as you’re going along.”

He has worked actively for WWE since 1995, so a 17 year career ending would be really sad, if it does come soon, I hope WWE mark it properly. #RoyalRumbleLegend.

Maxine:

The former WWE star has given her first interview since leaving WWE, she says that after sitting for 4 years, she got tired of waiting for her chance.

Fan Incident:

A fan reportedly asked WWE Champion CM Punk for an autograph in the St. Louis airport but was turned down. Apparently the fan was rude in his approach.

This led to another fan yelling at Punk and causing a scene inside the airport. Punk threw the man’s autograph book in a trash can. Airport police came over and Punk seemed very annoyed with having his time wasted, according to an eye-witness. Other WWE stars who were standing around asked fans if they knew “the fat guy”, who was the fan that got his autograph book threw in the trash can.

Punk went on Twitter and wrote about how one bad fan ruins it for everyone. He gave props to respectful fans. Ricardo Rodriguez was one of the WWE talents present for the incident as he wrote that fans “Go from fan mode to creepy mode to psycho mode sometimes.”

I know the feeling Punk... trust!!!

Extreme Rules:

The PPV is too be moved back a month, in 2014.

Eddie Jr:

Shaul Guerrero is set to make her debut on the main WWE roster, her Mother Vickie has announced, she said she has the look of her late Father and her presence would not go unnoticed.

WWE 13:

THQ designers have talked about the problems in making the game...

“Keeping current with the WWE. Things change so frequently during production of the game. Definitely frustrating.”
