Today's News

WWE feature:


7 superstars share their worst road stories.


The Rock:


The Rock's movie Fast 7 has been postponed for a year due to the death of Paul walker.


Jim Ross on future:


He feels his facial paralysis may cost him future opportunities to further a broadcast career...

"Yes I'd consider broadcasting again and feel motivated to do so but it takes two to Tango and most companies aren't looking to hire 61 year old guys with Bells palsy. I never let my facial paralysis define me but unfortunately some companies do along with the stigma that being a long time 'pro wrestling guy' has to some narrow minded, uncreative decision makers."


Retirement ends:


El Dandy, famous for his WCW run will end his retirement soon, he has started training again, and already has a match lined up vs his former partner El Satanico.


Batista:


This story is from Dave Meltzer, so take it as rumour...

It is being reported that Batista will return in and win the Royal Rumble match in the new year, and will then challenge Randy Orton for the WWE World championship at WrestleMania 30.


108 years too long:


Magnus winning the TNA World Title has ended 108 years of wait for a British wrestler to win a world championship for an American promotion.

TNA are proudly sharing the landmark, releasing a media statement comparing the achievement to Bradley Wiggins winning the Tour De France and Andy Murray winning Wimbledon, and listing some of the great Britain's that did not achieve the ultimate goal of holding a major World title during their careers, including British Bulldog and William Regal.


Heel turn coming:


In an interview for the next edition of WWE magazine Kofi Kingston says he does not care what fans think of his ring performances, adding he knows he delivers every time he steps between the ropes, and that is what matters the most to him.


AJ Styles:


AJ Styles has released the first statement on his TNA contract talks...

"We continue positive discussions with TNA but not exclusively. AJ has not yet agreed to a new deal nor signed a contract with anyone."


Jeff Jarrett:


In a major breaking news story, Jeff Jarrett has just announced that he resigned from TNA last night. Jarrett co founded the promotion along with his father Jerry in 2002 and had being getting a lot of the responsibilities he had lost during the Dixie Carter era back, so this has come a bit out of the blue. TNA had been planning for Jarrett to return to TV in the new year, that likely will now not happen.

He does have a minority ownership stake in the promotion and some are speculating that he may be looking at a take over, while others suggest he may be wanting to sell up and get out altogether. It is very early into this story and we will have to wait and see what he has to say about his motives for this move.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...

How big of a loss is Jeff Jarrett to TNA???
