Today's News

Hall Of Famer assaulted:


Sunny who was arrested again this weekend has filed a claim of assault against her boyfriend, (Indy star Damien Darling), saying he broke her ribs. However, after being taken to a medical centre for an X-ray she was found to have suffered no damage to her ribs at all, her (Now ex) Partner Darling has contacted Police, who told him no report was made against him, he has removed all connection to Tammy Sytch from all of his social media, and angrily hit back on his Facebook...

"Out of respect I wasn't going to post or comment in regard to what has happened, but I refuse to allow someone to make false accusations via media outlets. I went to the Branford Police Department to confirm, there is NO assault charge filed against me AND there are NO "broken ribs". #facts"

Friends of the couple claim she hit him in the head with a hammer, he did not make a reference to this incident.


WWE Hall Of Fame:


It looks as if the Hall Of Fame induction is now finalized, WWE had been hoping to have the biggest induction ceremony yet, which would have meant inducting more than the 11 they enshrined in 2004, but Triple H, who is in control this year has hit roadblock after roadblock in his hopes of his ideal group of inductees, For example...

Macho Man Randy Savage - His Brother (The Genius) will only accept induction if WWE also induct their Father, Angelo and himself.

Miss Elizabeth - They want to induct her at the same time as Mach.

Owen Hart - His wife Martha wants no connection between WWE and Owen.

Hart Foundation - Same as above.

The Ultimate Warrior - WWE were hoping to confirm his induction and make the announcement at the Royal Rumble, but they have trust issues with the Warrior, fearing if they announce early, he will demand more money, or no show the event.

The Kliq - That was slapped down as soon as it was brought up, Triple H, still says it may happen in the future.

Diesel - Ruled induction out after Mick Foley was confirmed.

Sable - HOF induction for Sable was apparently a part of the contract that Brock Lesnar signed upon his WWE return last year, However rumours are Sable was not happy about it, feeling induction should be an honour not a part of a deal. WWE were tied, they either had to convince her that the offer of induction was legit, or risk reneging on a contract promise to Brock, while they were still trying to get him to sign another.

Triple H has also been working hard on the stars that are going in, he has had many meetings with Bob Backlund, who has refused induction in the past, has been working hard in the past week on Trish Stratus, who has dreamt of being inducted in her home country of Canada. He has managed to get her to accept this year, she was confirmed last night on Raw.

Official induction video...



He has also had an epic battle to secure agreement for induction from Bruno Sammartino, it seems he has managed to achieve the seemingly impossible in getting that agreement, although that is still not officially confirmed.

It now appears that he has taken that (Possible) victory, and has called it a day, They are still talking about and to some possible inductees, but the feeling now is, if no-one else is added, this years class is good enough.

The class of 2013 is expected to be...

* Mick Foley

* Bob Backlund

* Trish Stratus

(All above are confirmed)

* Kamala

(Only issues for him are any potential special travel requirements, due to his health issues).

* Bruno Sammartino

* DX

- Shawn Michaels

- Triple H

- Road Dogg Jesse James

- Mr. Ass BA Billy Gunn

- X-Pac


Hall Of Famer undergoes surgery:


Superfly Jimmy Snuka was treated last night for a hernia.


Chris Jericho return not popular:


WWE talent have complained about Chris Jericho's return to the WWE at the Royal Rumble, it is felt that he took the spot of someone on the active roster, who were more deserving of the place..

Jericho was not the only star that returned of course, and this is a regular gripe with rostered talent, so I am not sure why Chris Jericho has been singled out for criticism.

Chris has officially returned to active WWE duties, his profile has been moved to the current roster on WWE.Com, he will however miss 2 Raws in February due to a band tour of Australia, and in late April he will tour the UK.

World Title announcement:

Brock Lesnar:


Returned to WWE last night and attacked Vince McMahon, WWE have announced Vince suffered a broken pelvis during the altercation, and aired an exclusive video of Vince taking over 5 minutes to get out of the ring, and being helped to the back on a stretcher.

Unfortunately, followers of the WWE on Twitter had the return spoilt, someone in the back tweeted Lesnar was at the arena before the appearance was made.

Brock signed his new deal at Raw, and will work 3 or 4 PPV's a year for the next 2 years.

After Raw ended Sheamus was given a Birthday Bash by John Cena in the ring, Dolph Ziggler interrupted and got beat up by both men and was hit in the face with a cake.


New referee:


Something I missed in my Royal Rumble recap yesterday was the promotion of NXT Referee Darrick Moore to the main roster, he officiated the US Title Pre Show match.
