Today's News

Company fight for survival:


Gawker, who are currently fighting a court case against Hulk Hogan, say should the Hall Of Famer (If he still is one) win his case, they would be put out of business, as they could not survive the $100 million Hogan wants in damages. They said they had a right to share the sex tape as millions of people were interested in seeing it, and that celebrities should not expect the same levels and rights to privacy as the rest of us. Their representative also admitted he did not spare a thought for Hulk Hogan, gaining permission to show the tape, or blurring out the images of his genitalia.


NXT Dallas:


Sami Zayn vs Shinsuke Nakamura is now official for the pre WrestleMania NXT special.

Bayley vs Asuka for the NXT Women's title is also official. Should Bayley lose, expect her to get a post Mania promotion to the main roster.

Hardy to refuse HOF:


Jeff Hardy says he is not a fan of HOF's and would be hesitant to accept a TNA induction, as he feels he has let the company down...

"I'm not really a popular fan of the whole Hall of Fame thing. I've had a lot of ups and downs and I don't feel deserving a lot of times. It would probably be something like they would induct me and I deny it and say I don't deserve it. Ultimately, if it had to happen Eddie Vedder would be really cool if he could come in and induct me. I mean Billy Corgan did induct Earl Hebner."
