Today's News

Lest We Forget...


Jim Ross on Chris Benoit:


Jim Ross has advised David, Son Of Chris Benoit not to get into wrestling...

"I have mixed emotions. My gut says stay away, learn a trade, get educated and lead a normal, productive life. One the other hand, I'm not big on telling anyone to not attempt to live their dreams just as I did... I'm just happy that I've got no horse in that race."

He also stated that his late father should never be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame...

''I haven't changed my take on the Benoit into the WWE HOF quandary. Chris doesn't belong there. End of story. If inducted, it would all be about the last few, horrific hours of Chris' life and that would not be fair for the family's that were affected, the other inductees, or the fans. For those fans who loved Chris' in ring work, and I consider myself one of those, then watch him on You Tube, etc and call it a day. I do not speak for WWE on any topic but I'd be surprised to see Chris any more prominent on WWE content in the future than he is now.''


WWE tour:


WWE are continuing to get heat from fans over the booking fails, again centering on the lack of an appearance by Daniel Bryan. Fans in Cardiff were the latest to be disappointed at losing out on seeing the flying goat, he instead competed in Glasgow.

Tensai is working with some top British indy stars as they try out for a WWE contract.


Buff Bagwell talks his WWE run and release:


"I was the first match of the Invasion. Why would they put Booker T. versus Buff Bagwell in Tacoma, Washington? We're the main event on RAW and it ain't good. They could wait seven days and put this in Atlanta. Instead we got booed out of the building in Tacoma, Washington and we had a bad match, double whammy. If you're asking me, they already knew that they were done with WCW, they just were gonna make us the sacrificial lambs to end it. All they had to do was wait a week and Booker T and Buff Bagwell get over in Atlanta, instead we got buried in Tacoma. Check out Wrestling Inc. They had a gold mine with WCW, forget Buff, they had a gold mine. Sting, Luger against the Rock, Stone Cold, it was endless. You could've gone on and on with that for wrestling fans, for wrestlers, you could've gone on and on, but instead they just beat us all and sent us home. They waited to fire me in Atlanta, why even make me come down there? Make me drive down to Phillips Arena to fire [me], my god, how brutal is that? I don't know if they hadn't figured it out totally or what, I think they had. I think they already knew they were done with us and were gonna put us on the shelf and they did so."

Big Show hurt:


Big Show was clearly limping on his way to the ring at last night's Cardiff show for his match vs Randy Orton. Before entering the ring he talked to a staffer at ring side about pain in his leg, then worked a very slow paced match that ended in less than 5 minutes. He however says he is feeling much better for today's show in Manchester.
