WWE is ''Doomed'':

A financial analyst has listed 3 reasons why WWE will not make it, he says aging talent, career shortening injuries, and the eventual death of Vince McMahon, mean WWE cannot survive long term.

WWE announce new book:

Entitled ''Greatest Wrestlers'', it should be in stores in September...

"WWE maintains a fanatical fan base. WWE Greatest Wrestlers provides an illustrated history on one of the world's most watched sporting events. No other sport has such colorful characters and memorable matches. This book chronicles the greatest stars, the greatest rivalries and the greatest matches. Also included is an inside look behind the scenes. Interviews and profiles on the greatest wrestlers from past and present. This is a must have collection for every fan."

JR on why Benoit should never be inducted into HOF:

''I do not endorse Chris, who I hired and had immense respect for until the final days of his life when he murdered his family and then committed suicide. Knowing Chris as I did I feel that he would NOT want to be enshrined into the WWE HOF because of the backlash that it would create and because the story would not be about Chris's stellar career but instead about the infamous murder/suicide. The entire matter is still a gut wrencher including me representing the WWE at Nancy and Daniel's funeral services which was a task that was SO hard for me to attend on a personal level. IMO one cannot separate the career of an overachieving athlete from the fact that he murdered his family and then took his own life and no matter the alleged motive.''

Alum ends relationship:

ROH in trouble:

Ring Of Honor are struggling financially. They hoped to rival TNA in 2015, wanting to become the number 2 company in wrestling, but their TV partners showed no interest in supporting them. They are now resigned to losing some of their top talent, as some top names are already working without contracts, including former WWE star Maria.
