Sheamus taking over celeb angle:

Sheamus has raised the possibility of taking over the feud Stardust had with his TMNT co-star Stephen Amell last year...

"He did a stellar performance at SummerSlam. I'd love the opportunity to take him on in the ring! The first time I sat down and met Stephen on set, he surprised me being a huge WWE fan, and so knowledgeable about it for all his life. I talked a bit about what I do, I was like, 'Oh you know, come off the top rope, this and that,' then he shows me this video of him doing Parkour, jumping off walls, doing flips, coming down, another flip, jump out to another wall... I was like, oh, I'll stop talking about myself now. I was pretty impressed."

Goldberg talks past and future:

Talking with WWE about his WWE run...

"Hell yeah, it was successful. I got paid and I put smiles on people's faces, so I don't think you can say that it wasn't a success by any stretch of the imagination. At the end of the day, leaving WrestleMania, having my hand raised, beating Brock Lesnar... I'd say it was a pretty successful tenure."

On his wrestling future...

"I've got 50 more in me. It just depends on the ability to keep it up to my standards. I love everybody to death and I greatly appreciate their opinions, but none of it matters except for mine, because I hold myself to such high standards. The reality is, you've got movies, TV appearances, a kid, you're 49 years old … things aren't like they used to be. It's a completely different day. I'm 20 to 30 pounds less than what I was because I just don't need to be that dude with traps from his ears to his shoulders. Would I like to be that guy again? Absolutely. He's still in there."

Superfly Jimmy Snuka:

Hall Of Famer Jimmy Snuka is not competent to stand trial over the death of his former girlfriend Nancy.

This will likely mean the case will be dismissed, meaning more frustration for the ladies family.
