WWE slammed for disrespecting US Flag:

WWE are getting some huge heat following SummerSlam. Apparently during the pre match brawl between Jack Swagger and Rusev the American national flag fell and touched the floor, this is reportedly a huge insult in the country and many fans were left outraged at the incident, not helped by JBL mentioning that it had happened during commentary. There are rumours that any flag that touches the floor should be immediately burned, that is, I am told, an urban legend, but it is considered grossly offensive and disrespectful by many Americans to have their national flag come into contact with the ground. WWE have not responded to the negative media the accidental incident has caused at this stage.

Possibly as a result of this WWE rewrote the Raw script at the very last minute, and had Mark Henry confront Rusev, rather than continue the Swagger / Rusev feud.

Kurt Angle on WWE return:

"I'm still in the process. My contract's up September 21st. I will say this TNA has been really loyal to me and there is an obligation there but at the same time have to do what's best for me. I haven't quite decided yet. It wouldn't be a surprise either way it's just I'm going to have to bear down right now and by the end of September I'll have my decision. I think it's always an open door. It's really about what you can give. What they want from you and what you want from them. At the end of the day you have to agree on all terms. So it really comes down to how much they want to use me and how much I want to be used."

Q - ''Could you work a full WWE schedule''...

"No not at all. I wouldn't expect it to. You know 15 years of hard pro wrestling and I went a lot of full time in TNA until the last two and a half years. I would hope they wouldn't expect me to do it. I know TNA does not expect me to do that either. So where ever I end up it's going to be part time."

Hulk Hogan warns Lesnar:

In response to being called Grandpa on Raw...

"If he [Lesnar] starts throwing my name around, him and [Paul] Heyman, it's like that old country-western song, "I'm not as good as I ever was, but I'm as good once as I ever was," or however those words go. So Brock Lesnar, you better start biting your tongue when you throw my name around. I'm getting tired of hearing it. I know this is all entertainment, but when he starts throwing my name around with my wife and my kids, he's crossing a line."

He also defended WWE from drugs claims, saying the current crop work harder than at any time in the sports history, and training, hard work, and healthy living are the reason WWE stars are as fit as they are.
