Today's News

Backstage fight:

Former Tag Team Champion, Quebecer Pierre has recalled a backstage fight with then WWE Champion Kevin (Diesel) Nash in 1995, that eventually killed his WWE career...

HHH vs Curtis Axel:

Although it is great to see Joe Hennig get the push he deserves, a change in the original plan has emerged, The Push was meant to be one of the top Summer feuds and was set to end with a SummerSlam headline spot, the decision has been made to bring the match forward to Payback however. I am sure Hennig is glad though, he has been languishing in the jobber ranks for far too long.

Vince McMahon vs NBA:

Vince McMahon is so angry with NBA games destroying Raw's viewing figures that he wants to book Raw from 2014 and on, around the NBA calender, so if a big game is on, they can book a large city, like New York where the fans could raise the atmosphere of the show, in the hopes fans will decide to stay with WWE rather than change channel when the game starts.

Double suicide threats:

Two former wrestlers have discussed suicide plans, George The Animal Steele was referring to a dark time in his life, while Gorgeous George (Former Valet of Macho Man Randy Savage in WCW) has used her Facebook to declare her sadness and her wish to end her life.

George Steele said of his Crohns disease, and the desperation he felt from the illness...

''Well, it attacks you anywhere from your liver down to anus; your total digestive system. You're totally out of control, constant diarrhea and whatever else goes along with it. On the morning I was ready to bow out, I had pain in every possible joint in my body; even my cheeks and my face was hurting. I was in totally pain and I thought, if I'm going to be like this for the rest of my life, I just don't need it. So, I went out ready to do the thing; at the last minute I had sleeping pills and had the car all set up and was ready to go; just drifting off to sleep, I was listening to country music and I hit the steering wheel and said "Bullcrap! I'm tougher than this!" And I'm not sure if that's me again or I think it was God reaching out giving me another shot. But, it was pretty close."

Gorgeous George wrote on her Facebook yesterday...

"Mylige. (My Life) sucks if i cant get a car and drive to find.a.job this week i am going to end it i cant take it anymore my life.has.too manyproblems i am nothing but a burdon on people i wish God would get.me.out of here,"
