In regards to how often talent were drug tested then, Luger states, "It was strict. They'd sometimes test three or four nights in a row. We called the [people who administered the tests] white coats. We'd never know when they'd arrive. I was pleasantly surprised that I could maintain my physique as well as I did back then [without steroids]."

Cat Fight #1 Christine Vargas vs Wrestling Fans... Christine Vargas who quit WWE earlier this week after only a month on the pay roll Has feuded with a fan who criticized her decision to leave... "1st off it is not for free that the athletes pay!, 2nd I never told anyone it was my dream!, 3rd some of the best divas in time [Michelle McCool] for one of then was in the diva search and loved it.You always start some where! If u where in the same position you would of done it too. Stop hating!. I didn't f--k nothing up, I left becuz I was unhappy & now know what I want! If anything I gained not lost!. I don't need a short cut, the girls in development including the indie girls work there asses off ! 70 - 80 hours u can't want nothing else in life. If u do its not for u. Dedication is not my prob." Speculation is she was the victim of some sort of hazing, she had been tweeting about being singled out a few days before announcing her choice to leave. Cat Fight #2 Reby Sky vs Kharma... Reby Sky is not happy that Kharma put her into the ''Ho' Bag'' (A feature on the YouShoot Show, they ask a Women's wrestler to pick their least favourite fellow lady worker and say why). Kharma chose Reby due to her criticism of Sycho Sid who blew off an indy match he was to have vs her boyfriend Matt Hardy to appear as a guest on Raw 1000 last summer. Reby responded... "Lying. f--king. c--t. Oh, & lets all glorify a f--kING NO-SHOW. Brilliant ! But it's ok bc it's a "veteran", right ? LOL. I don't give a f*ck HOW many years someone has had in the business. If you're a piece of sh*t, you're a piece of sh*t. Being a "veteran" is not a magical pass to be a complete POS. Yall think imma bow down to someone just bc they got a lucky break ? LOL. Those seemingly SO concerned with "respect" should worry more about those who SH*T ON THIS BUSINESS than those callin out said culprits. I will NEVER respect a no-show; someone who scams promotors & f*cks fans & people who actually show up to work. F*ck outta here. That being said, go back to smiling to my face at shows & talkin sh*t online @kharma, you FAKEASSb---h. Btw, your GODDAUGHTER gives a big ol' F*CK YOU. Cuz that's what this is REALLY all about, right ? LOL f*ck outta here." Cat Fight #3 Alundra Blayze vs AJ Lee Former WWF/E Women's Champion Alundra, has launched into a ferocious assault on the current holder of WWE's Women's Title... "AJ Never was, Never will be the WWE womens champion as long as I OFFICIALLY hold the title. b---h never beat me, b---h never will. However she does give good mike skill so lets see what she has to say now....'' AJ is also facing heat from the locker room for her Tattoo (Pic on wall). It is apparently an unwritten law of WWE that the roster must be above acting like a fan, and she is being mocked (Including on TV by Jerry Lawler and JBL) and criticized for her decision to mark her first title win with the ink, she has defended herself... "When I was really young, my entire family was covered in tattoos, so it was okay to get one. But I knew, when I did get one, that I wanted it to be something important and special. So, at a very young age, I decided that I would get it when I won the title," said Lee. I'm not a girly girl. And I didn't want fancy script or a butterfly or anything like that on me. I wanted something surreal; something that showed time served. That's why it's in the style that it's in. [The Divas Championship is] something that I worked for and spent a great deal of my time trying to get. It's 14 years in the making. So, it's supposed to be really cold. Just a mark of an accomplishment and now I move on." Cat Fight #4 Dana White vs Ken Shamrock... Ken Shamrock has responded to the attack on him by UFC boss Dana White (See yesterday). Shamrock was initially talking to Tito Ortiz about the comments, when White inserted himself into the conversation. Shamrock and Ortiz were asking for the respect they feel they deserve for their time in the company, White was belligerently demanded money he says he is owed by Shamrock and was very verbally offensive in his attacks on the former WWE and current TNA men. Shamrock also says he is ready to return to WWE, but would wait until Vince asked him.

Chris Masters on WWE return:
"You know, you can't rule anything out of course, but I mean the problem with WWE right now for me is that it seems there's no real room for opportunity. There's just so many guys that they have and I haven't watched in a while but from what I've heard they combined raw and Smackdown and if you want to just be there just treading water then yeah, but I would rather go there with the certainty that I was actually going to do something and be vital to the program. It just depends on the opportunity that's there, and it doesn't seem like there is to me.'' And on a TNA career... "I keep an open mind about any wrestling company because it's my ultimate passion, there's really nothing else. If I had to fill out a resume, under qualifications I'd put what,standing vertical suplex and an unbreakable full nelson? I don't know where that's going to benefit me in society but one thing that I have been exploring while living in LA is different movie projects because coming out of our line of work it seems like a natural fit."

How to get a WWE job by doing all the wrong things:
This is Pierre Marceau who has today been signed to a WWE developmental deal, despite this Funny, but riske performance at a promo skills assessment at the WWE Performance Center.... He is a 6'4 French former kickboxer so will probably be a big star for WWE, and I like him already.
Dan Severn on Wrestling vs MMA:
''Mixed martial arts doesn't hold a candlestick to the wacky world of professional rasslin'. I say it like that. It's not wrestling. It's rasslin' where men in tights settle their differences in the squared circle."
Ted DiBiase interview:
On The Undertaker... "When I introduced The Undertaker nobody knew him, at the time if you know how this works they were using my celebrity and me introducing The Undertaker was helping him get over. He wasn't 'The Phenom' then he was just a new kid on the card, this new character The Undertaker and of course he grew in to be one of the greatest attractions the WWE has ever had. At the time it wasn't a big deal to me, I was just doing my job." On Eric Bischoff and NWO... "Eric took credit for the NWO but that wasn't his idea, the NWO had already been done in Japan, so they had copied something that had already been done. It was a good idea, but originally I was supposed to be the mouth piece of the NWO and reality is I think Eric saw how it was getting over and he saw how he could put himself in the role that he had hired me for. As each week went by pretty soon Eric isn't the announcer anymore, he becomes part of the NWO and I just went to him one day and told him I'm not just going to walk out there and be Hulk Hogans' Virgil, you hired me to be the spokesperson for this, so if that's not what I'm going to do you can send me home. The reason I said that was because they had to pay me one way or the other, because I had a contract where they had to pay me for three years.'' On Ted Jr... "He has had a couple of little injuries and he did go back on the road and wrestled at some live events but they didn't put him back on television. In the meantime he's married, he has become a father, which made me a grandfather a little over a year ago. I think that's why I never really wanted him to be a wrestler in the first place, it had nothing to do with wrestling, it had everything to do with being away from your family."
Ryback blames WWE:
Ryback says it is WWE's fault that fans chant Goldberg at him, but promised one day he will ''Beat'' the former WCW champion... "When I first started with WWE, I did not get that right away. But then the WWE.com website actually posted an article - because people that run the website aren't necessarily the ones at TV - and they wrote that I channeled Bill Goldberg before my matches, which is completely false. So whatever creative genius did that... a bunch of people read that article on the .COM, and the chants started a week after because of that brilliant article that was posted. It's something that never bothers me, but I'm a man of my own identity and eventually the people that keep chanting it, they're going to make me a ton of money because I'm going to have to beat him eventually. We'll get him back and I'll beat him."
New NXT profile added:
Kendall Skye. QUESTION OF THE DAY... Which of the above DVD's would you like to see WWE release???
Dana White Has furiously reacted to Tito Ortiz's plan to get former UFC stars including Rampage Jackson and Ken Shamrock to buy tickets in the front row of the next UFC PPV, which is a 20th anniversary show, they are offended they were not asked to the event, feeling they were a large part of the company's success and should be recognized despite the personal animosity they have with Mr White. Dana responded when asked about the threatened invasion by MMA Junkie, with a tirade against the former Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock... "Ken owes me $175,000, and I'm coming for it, Ken. I'm coming for the f---ing money, you piece of s--t. The guy owes me $175,000 because him and his scumbag lawyer put together some phony lawsuit that he lost, and he owes me $175,000 in attorney's fees. And he's out there talking about what he doesn't have and what guys aren't getting and all this s--t. He's trying to make himself relevant again, and if anybody can't see that, you're just f---ing stupid."
TNA SPOILERS!!! for 3/10:

RVD works on video game:
Rob Van Dam may have been left out of the WWE 2K14 game, but He will appear in Saints Row, he has been doing voice work today.
Lawsuit dismissed:
The lawsuit that was stopping sales of WrestleMania 24 due to the music used for Floyd Mayweather's entrance at the event has been thrown out of court today. Anthony Dash could not prove he created the beat used, or that Mayweather and WWE benefited financially from the use of the song. Dash wanted $150,000.
Ryback:
Ryback has revealed that WWE have told him what he needs to do if he wants to be the top guy... "The WWE told me if I wanted to be the best, the best bet was to stay single and not start a family. I'm a loner and that is what I've given up to be what I am. I've had girlfriends, but at this point, I have to do what I need to do." No wonder he is so grouchy
Hulk Hogan:
Hulk Hogan's contract expires on October 1, and the fact that TNA saw fit to film an exit story for next weeks Impact suggests they do not think he will be sticking around. The two sides are talking, and it may not be used if they can come to terms before next Thursday, but they decided the chances of that are so small that they needed to shoot the scene in case.
SPOILERS!!!... The exit story is Dixie Carter demanded that Hulk Hogan joined her in her campaign against AJ Styles, Hogan refused and quit, he then left the ring. Dixie chased him dropped to her knees in front of him and begged him to stay, he didn't, she pitched a fit as the show ended.

Triple H has invited the Rhodes Family to Raw next week, and says they will be given an open forum to air their grievances.
AJ Styles to WWE?:
It is very unlikely that WWE will be waiting with a contract offer when AJ Styles leaves TNA at the end of the year. Figure Four Weekly are reporting that WWE have very little interest in the 36 year old.
WretleMania 30 plans:
WWE are working on The Rock vs Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker vs Ryback for next years Mania, however both matches have huge proviso's hanging over them. The Rock is showing very little interest in a return for the event, and WWE are very uncertain about Ryback. Firstly if The Rock refuses a Mania 30 match, The Undertaker would be pitted against Brock Lesnar, something WWE are reluctant to do, due to Lesnar's style and Taker's injuries. If The Rock does wrestle, then current plans have Taker vs Ryback. The story would be Paul Heyman wanting to do next year, what his man (CM Punk) could not do this year. However... WWE are not convinced by Ryback and have brought the link up with Heyman forward to evaluate how he does, if he impresses, some in WWE are calling for Ryback to be the man to end the iconic streak of the dead man, feeling that he is the only man on the roster that could conceivably do it. There is of course a long way to go, with Sting's status obviously to become a contributing factor to the final plans for the show, when he becomes free of his TNA deal in January.
Steph to wrestle?:
WWE have a poll on who should be the next challenger for the Diva's Title, and Stephanie McMahon is currently a runaway leader.
Goldberg - WWE:

Jim Ross:
More on JR's WWE departure... Triple H has been fighting since WrestleMania to keep JR on the pay roll against the wishes of WWE chairman Vince McMahon, who grew tired of JR questioning the direction of WWE, feeling he is too outspoken. There was no indication of what happened at Mania to cause this latest falling out. The SummerSlam games expo was the excuse Vince had been waiting for it seems, and Triple H had to give in, however he is determined to get him back for WrestleMania 30, and WWE still want to use him as a talking head on DVD's. Jim Ross has also today tweeted to kill the TNA rumours once and for all... "No interest whatsoever at this time. Moving on to other things."

Damien Sandow vs ?:

Sunny interview:
On Hall Of Fame... ''When I got the phone call I had no idea what was going on. I was packing for a vacation in Mexico. It was a Monday night at 9:30 and Johnny Ace called; I thought it was really odd that Johnny would call me during the show. About 15 minutes into the call, he asked me to turn on RAW; at the time, they were announcing Shawn's induction into the Hall of Fame. He then told me that he was talking to Vince and they wanted me to be the second inductee. I cried for about 3 minutes. It was January 10, 2011 that I was told I was going to be inducted. "They made me wait 2 months and told me I wasn't allowed to tell anybody. I can't keep secrets as it is. Everything that company does is a test, and I think they did it on purpose. I was the second person that they told, and I was the second to last to be announced." On joining WWE... "I was hired first. They hired me as Tamara Murphy doing the Live Event News. Between WWE and Smokey Mountain I had a 7 day a week job. Five months into it they pulled Chris and I into a meeting and they offered him a job, and turned my broadcasting contract into a regular talent contract and the rest is history. It was easy for us to start together on the road; we were both 21, and being together and starting out that young, it made it so much easier. Chris had so much passion for the business. He started wrestling at 9 years old; that's passion." On current Diva's... "With the exception of Nattie Neidhart, heart and passion for the business is missing. Nattie is in the business because she loves the business, not because she's using it as a stepping stone for something else. The others, look what happens when their contract expires: They look for work in TV. In the Divas search, they didn't even know who Kamala was. Passion and heart is missing, even from a lot of the guys. (There are very few guys with passion) Chris (Candido) had passion, CM Punk has passion, and Daniel Bryan has it too."
The Godfather:
Charles Wright has gotten the itch back, after attending fan conventions and a (Too short) WWE return at this years Royal Rumble, he has announced he is going to make a full time return to wrestling and is accepting bookings.
WWE Alum:
The newest WWE Alum is The Warlord (without his former partner The Barbarian, maybe he is next week / fortnight's inductee). QUESTION OF THE DAY... Should WWE end The Undertaker's streak, and if so is Ryback the right man to do so, if not Who should???
In conversation with Stone Cold Steve Austin, for his highly rated podcast show, JR said of his future plans... "I'm not going to buy a rocking chair, I'm not going to sit on the porch watching the world go by. I'd like to tell you that 61 is the new 41. I'm feeling good, I'm healthy, I'm going to be doing some other things without question. I'm not going to go away, I'm just not going to be in WWE any longer." He also said he has one goal left in wrestling, to call The Undertaker's last match, whether he and WWE can come to terms on the deal, is another matter of course. Finally he has today slammed reports and said that he is not about to make a wrestling return for another company any time soon... "Rumor mill working OT today. I'm not looking 4 work. It's @OU_Football season & I'm going to enjoy it. Working in wrestling not an option."
Matt Morgan defends TNA:
Matt Morgan has asked his fans to stop attacking TNA for letting him leave... ''If TNA wanted to, they could have made me sit at home all the way until when my contract expired, which would have been next July. That would have been another year, miss a year in my prime doing nothing. A lot of companies have done that in the past. That's a business decision, and nobody can be mad at a company for doing it. They could have easily done that in keeping a 7-foot, 300-pound giant on their roster that they don't have. They didn't. My hats off to them for letting me move on with no strings attached and being able to put my family in a better situation."

James Cornette slams TNA:
"Oh my God! If she [Dixie Carter] called and asked me to take this place over, I would hang up quickly and take three Xanax. As one top star that shall remain nameless who worked for the WWE for many years and is now semi-retired, I'm not going to say you're never going to see him in public again but he is not out there every week said: "If I go to TNA, it's a cry to be euthanized".

Chris Jericho:
Y2J reveals why he first left WWE and his current relationship with Vince McMahon... "I left in '05 because I was burnt out and I felt like I was treading water. I felt like the company was taking me for granted and I was starting to lose a lot of my powers. I was still friends with him - I could talk to him on the phone or in the office - but it wasn't until [I returned in] '08 where I could go in there with a legitimate idea and he would listen to it. From the Shawn [Michaels] thing, we went right into the [Rey] Mysterio thing, which was a massively successful angle that I wrote the whole f-cking thing. Then we went into the 7 on 7 NXT vs. the WWE thing, which I had a lot of influence in. Then we went into the whole CM Punk thing last year." He also revealed that DX ''Hated'' him when he debuted in 1999.

Stone Cold Steve Austin on ring return:
"On one hand, it may be fun to do, but on the other hand, what's on the other side of that? It took me three years to get the business out of my system. Withdrawal would be a good way to put it. I got through those three years, and hell, it's been eleven years since I've been in the ring. I know a lot of fans want to see that But what if it's not what it could have been or should have been? I don't want to go out there and do 90% of 'Stone Cold,' that's not who and what I am. It would take three or four months of a UFC-type came to pull it off... then what next? I was there, I did it at a high level, I had a great time. I took the business to a height that it's never been before. Hopefully someday someone will come on now that I'm done and take it to an even higher level. John Cena has done a wonderful job doing what he's done. Man, I'd say the chances are pretty damn slim, to be frank about it."
