Hulk Hogan:


Hulk Hogan says he has one more match in him, and wants it to be at WrestleMania 31. He wants his opponent to be John Cena, and hinted that he would like Cena to be a heel for the match, saying it would be the right time, and nowadays the baddies get louder cheers than the good guys.

The Iron Sheik has called The Undertaker's WrestleMania defeat a ''Conspiracy''...

"I don't believe it, a lot of people doesn't believe it, because Undertaker is still #1 to me and a lot of fans in the world.'' He later added that something changed in the match after Undertaker suffered a concussion.

Injury:


Dean Ambrose suffered a rib injury on Main Event last night. He later managed to work the dark match on SmackDown, so it can't have been too bad.

WrestleMania robbery:


The Streak wasn't the only thing stolen at WrestleMania this year. A young disabled boy, a sufferer of cerebral palsy, and confined to a wheelchair had his camera, full of photo's of the WWE stars he had met during the weekend, including John Cena and Daniel Bryan stolen from him during the show. His Mother wrote an emotional message to WWE, telling them what had happened, and they provided the child with a gift package, comprising of autographs, a replica title belt, and other merch and toys. They also replaced his camera, with a state of the art new one, and invited them to Raw, to get some new pictures with the stars.

The Ultimate tragedy:


Just days after he finally took his rightful place in the WWE Hall Of Fame, and healed some long open wounds with his former employers, the Ultimate Warrior is dead. He collapsed in the car park of the Arizona hotel he was staying in with his wife, as he walked her to their car at 5.50pm last night. A witness to the incident said he clutched his chest before falling to the floor. This tallies with a later police statement, they say...

''It appears as though a catastrophic medical condition caused his death."

His official Cause Of Death will be determined after an autopsy on Thursday.

WWE broke the news, with this statement...

''WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior began his WWE career in 1987 and quickly went on to become one of the biggest stars in WWE history. Warrior became WWE Champion at WrestleMania VI, defeating Hulk Hogan in an epic encounter. We are grateful that just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was also able to appear at WrestleMania 30 and Monday Night Raw to address his legions of fans. WWE sends its sincere condolences to Warrior's family, friends and fans. Warrior was 54 and is survived by his wife Dana and his two daughters.''

WWE had spent the WrestleMania weekend following Warrior and his family, despite them staying in a separate hotel from the rest of the WWE crew, This was for a documentary charting his return to the company. No word if this will still be released now.

Many stars have paid tribute on social media, including the Iron Sheik, just hours after slating a man he has had a public feud with for quite a while, he released this short video.

The Ultimate Warrior was 54 years old, and leaves behind a wife, two daughters, and at least one devastated superfan of his... This guy was my favourite growing up, and his death so soon after his WWE return, is crushing...

RIP Warrior, thank you for Mania 6, and Mania 7, and the energy, the colour, and the power of the Ultimate Warrior. I will always be a lil' Warrior, and will keep my Warrior tat forever, even though I get ribbed for it...

Goodnight sir... RIP

Mr. T speaks out:


Mr T. is upset that WWE cut his speech short at the Hall Of Fame, writing...

''To my fans: Thank you very much for all your support! I am very disappointed and saddened that you couldn't hear the rest of my speech... I was told my speech went too long? Really? Seriously? Matthew 10:32-33 All the inductees were told that you, "the fans, wanted to hear our stories", to take our time and enjoy the moment... I was deeply moved by the outpouring of support you showed me after my HOF speech was cut short. Soon I will post the remainder of my speech for you to read. Thank you for your support. My mother taught me to stand up for what I believed in. I put a lot of care and love into my speech... I wanted it to inspire and motivate people when they are hurting. Since my mother taught me to always try and take the high road, I will. If my speech helped just 1 mother & 1 son out there, thank you GOD!''
