Today's News

Konnan:

Has been released after his arrest yesterday. He says he was trying to leave the arena, pushing through a crowd, and was chastised for pushing by a rude attendant, they had words leading to him being taken away by cops.

Rip Rogers reveals how he dealt with backstage bullies:

He said he worked Lex Luger into exhaustion after an argument with Ole Anderson, and punished Sid for bullying another talent, like this...

"Big Sid was…picking on somebody, just ribbing him. So I said, 'Come here you big, fat motherf***er!" and he was sorta scared of me.' So, remember those protein bars when the first came out—I can't remember the name of them—but they looked like Tootsie Rolls? You could smash them in your hand so it looked like a turd. So I had one in my hand, I palmed it, acted like I sh*t my f***ing hand. And I was chasing Sid…That motherf***er ran out of the place yelling, 'He's a f***ing crazy motherf***er!'"

Let's start a union:

Many stars past have called for wrestling to start a union, to protect the talent from the likes of WWE. Not all agree, WWE Alum Val Venis is firmly against the idea...

"A union in @WWE would have destroyed the passion @CMPunk had 4 the business far quicker than the company itself did. A unionized @wwe would crush talent motivation, annihilate the human spirit 2 succeed & destroy the #wwe product. There would be no @CMPunk. Sports unions morph into being all about tenure, NOT talent! This would hurt the @wwe product & destroy talents will to succeed."

Austin wants answers:

Steve Austin is promising he will pull no punches when he interviews Vince McMahon after Raw tonight, he has questions planned regarding Daniel Bryan's future, and CM Punk. He says his agreement was no issue was off the table, and he intends to take advantage of that, to get some answers many fans crave on a number of subjects, from the boss man himself.

Should be an interesting listen, it will air live on the Network.

Punk vs Jericho:

Chris Jericho is the latest star to take exception to the now infamous CM Punk shoot. He was upset at CM's insinuation that Jericho was hounding him to give him the story of his WWE departure, and that he did not trust Y2J, due to his relationship with WWE. Jericho says he sent a few messages to Punk, and Punk had agreed to talk to him, but pulled out at the last minute, because he had nothing good to say about the business. Jericho asserts that, that ended contact between the two on the subject, and that he was not one of the stars wanting to leech off Punk's story for ratings, he was offering Punk the chance to say his peace, as he considers him to be a friend. He will further address Punk's shoot on his own podcast later this week.
