Announcer says he won't come back:


Tony Schiavone says he enjoys his current life too much to come back to wrestling...

"I didn't want to go the route of the small time promotions and things like that. I tried to go a different route. At the end of WCW, it was not good. It was not a good working atmosphere. Yeah, it was horrible! And I could only imagine what the professional wrestlers went through because I know what I went through. And I work with such good people - I've been working with such good people now for 14 years that I really don't want to leave them. They're just too good to me and the benefits are too good. The lifestyle's too good."

Hall Of Famer dies:


Nick Bockwinkel passed away last night at the age of 80. No reason for his death has yet been announced.

WWE have led the tributes with...

''WWE is saddened to learn that Nick Bockwinkel, a WWE Hall of Famer and former four time AWA World Heavyweight Champion, has passed away at age 80. Bockwinkel, known for his great in-ring skill and intelligent interviews, began his sports entertainment career in the mid-1950s after concluding his time on the University of Oklahoma football team. Bockwinkel was trained by his famous father, Warren Bockwinkel, and wrestling legend, Lou Thesz. Nick teamed with his father on many occassions, competing in Georgia, Texas and the Pacific Northwest before moving on to the where he would find the most success: the American Wrestling Association. Bockwinkel was famously managed by WWE Hall of Famer Bobby "The Brain" Heenan during his AWA tenure, with the two drawing the ire of crowds everywhere. The self-proclaimed "Smartest Wrestler Alive" did it all during his time in AWA, with his crowning accomplishment coming when he defeated fellow WWE Hall of Famer and AWA legend Verne Gagne to win the AWA World Heavyweight Championship, ending Gagne's historic seven-year run with the title. Bockwinkel would go on to accumulate many more accolades as his career went on. From his nationally televised rivalry with Larry Zbyszko on ESPN to guest starring on "Hawaii Five-O," the legend truly did it all. It was only fitting that his great career be capped off by his 2007 induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, where he will forever be enshrined as one of sports entertainments' all-time greats. WWE extends its condolences to Bockwinkel's family, friends and fans.''

Buff Bagwell recalls injury:


Buff Bagwell has recollected the night he was almost paralysed by Rick Steiner...

"At this point, I am 100% convinced, and that is a big, big statement, I'm convinced I'm paralyzed. I swear to God, my mind went, 'you know what, you can do what Christopher Reeve is doing. You can go to schools.' I really turned a negative situation into a positive situation in a matter of seconds. We got to the hospital and they wheeled me out and I was all drooped over the wheelchair and as soon as I got into the waiting room, I popped up with a double bicep [pose]! And they were like, 'oh my God! What happened? Why are you okay?' and at that stage, they realized I had a bruised spinal cord."

Rock talks battle with depression:


"I found that with depression that one of the most important things you can realize is that you're not alone. Often times, you just feel like you're alone, you're in your bubble. I wish I had someone at that time who could pull me aside and said 'Hey, it's going to be okay."
