Indy star defends violent match:

Chris Dickinson has defended his performance in a recent inter gender match vs Kimber Lee. The video went viral, and the CZW man was rounded upon from all sides, by women's rights and domestic violence advocates...

"Let's put it in the context of professional wrestling. Let's forget that it's just a 50-second video of me smashing a girl over the head with a chair and giving her a pazuzu bomb and let's look at it in the context of professional wrestling, because obviously there's a million people out there who thought it was real. What they got worked. So you put it back into context and then you say, 'Wow. They actually had a wrestling match.' So what are we going to do here? Are we just going to come out and say, 'Listen, everybody: I'm sorry. I know it was a little extreme. Guy-on-girl violence is totally wrong. And women…they shouldn't take chair shots and they shouldn't take bumps. It's completely unacceptable in professional wrestling. And you know what? Because the WWE doesn't do it, we're never going to do this, ever again because I just want to be like everybody else.' Am I going to say that? Is that what I should say?."

He also attacked CZW, and the locker room of his promotion.

He says he can, and therefore did, make a decision so many others refuse to make, for whatever reason.

Legends awarded:

Bret critical of WWE HOF choice:

Bret Hart says he feels he would have been a better choice to induct Macho Man Randy Savage into the Hall Of Fame...

''Well I know we were a lot closer than Hogan was. I'm not quite sure why Hulk Hogan of all people is inducting him because my last conversations I had with Randy, he didn't have much good to say about Hogan. Regardless, it is a night to remember Randy for all the great contributions he made. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, he was a great champion in the dressing room, he was a Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, a real team guy and always had a lot of respect and love with all of the wrestlers. We will always miss the Macho Man. ''

Zbyszko has released this statement...

"My gut feeling over the years was that probably someday, sooner or later, I'd be getting in – and not just because of the long career I had. I'm a fan at heart; I love this business, and the Hall of Fame is an awesome part of the business. This has been my life, and if I had to do it again, I'd do it all the same – except maybe not get married so many times. I already have a speech in my head; it kind of just popped in there, because it's the story of my dream – to become like my hero Bruno Sammartino. And I'll also thank the people who helped me along the way. I've always considered myself one of the boys – everyone calls me 'Sir' these days, but I'm not that old!."
