Today's News


WWE man in controversial movie:


David Otunga will star as a police chief who is sent to a massive school shooting incident, perpetrated by a student. The film is to be named 'Live To Tell.'



WWE outreach:


The mayor of Orlando has revealed Stephanie McMahon reached out, on behalf of WWE, after the terror attack in the city last month. The two sides are brainstorming ideas to help the families and the victims of the shooting. Stephanie called Orlando WWE's second home.



Hornswoggle shoot:


Hornswoggle took aim at CM Punk and The Rock during a tease for a shoot interview. He said Punk black-balled him after he asked for the phone number of a mutual friend of the two men, when he lost his phone. He claims Punk accused him of using their friendship to get to the un-named third guy, even though 'Swoggle and man 3 had been friends for years.


He then blasted the Rock for the WrestleMania 27 incident, where Rock mistook him for a Make-A-Wish kid. This led to a nasty social media exchange between the two at the time, but was apparently later settled. He obviously harbours a grudge still, however.


The Rock:


The Rock has been added to the Hollywood walk of fame.



Hall Of Famer joins Twitter:


Bobby Heenan has launched a Twitter account.



Orton delay:


Randy Orton may miss SummerSlam. He was due to start preparations for his ring return in mid June, at the PC. That did not happen, as his shoulder is still not strong enough for him to start training. His planned return, in early August, ready for a SummerSlam feud, is now very much in doubt.



Vince never there:


Recently released NXT announcer Rich Brennan says Vince McMahon ''Never'' attended NXT shows.



Steph wants Rousey:

Foxy returns:


Alicia Fox is coming back to work, for the first time since the post Mania Euro tour, this weekend.



Batista blasts WWE:


Batista has discussed his last WWE run, and does not have fond memories. He says, even before he came back, he was arguing with Vince McMahon about their creative ideas for him, was blamed by the office for CM Punk quitting, and was dis-respected by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon when he offered to come back for a SummerSlam match in 2014. He says he broached the idea of doing something during that summer, as he was also promoting his appearance in 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', believing WWE would bite his hand off at the chance to have a link between them, and the number one movie of the summer, but said HHH and Steph ''Laughed in his face.''


He admitted he still harbours bad blood over the return.


Apologise!:


Triple H made Roman Reigns apologise to the entire WWE roster before he was suspended for his wellness fail earlier this month. The ban will also hit him in the pocket, he is expected to lose upwards of $100,000 this month, in his share of live ticket sales.



Jericho Network:


Chris Jericho has been given his own Network by PodcastOne. His first signing to join his channel is former WCW star Konnan.



Fan assault:


Stone Cold Steve Austin has reacted to an old video of Triple H beating up a fan that had gotten in the ring, during a bout they had in the middle 90's. The incident happened in Germany, and footage had not been released until earlier this year, when someone posted it to YouTube. SCSA remembered the incident on his podcast this week...


"I was just about to celebrate and somebody tackles me from behind and takes me down and starts punching me. I thought it was a rib by one of the boys in the back, but it was a rambunctious fan that was cheering for Triple H and got upset. When you're in the ring with a cat - and I was a babyface, Triple H was the heel - you're always looking out for your guy's back. Triple H - stand up cat - he picked that dude up, slammed him and started punching his lights out!."

Here is the video of the brawl...



Chris Jericho talks retirement:


"I'm 45 years old and pretty soon, I'm not going to want to take any more bumps. But if you look at the arc of entertainment, you can go until you're 75 years old or beyond. There's no limit to what you can accomplish in the world of entertainment. It's all I've ever known since I was 19. I'm writing my fourth book, I'm doing more acting. I'm keeping all those balls in the air. It was a smart move on my part and I'm not going to stop. If I stopped wrestling tomorrow, I'd still be out there providing things for you guys to do to enjoy your lives."

He also praised WWE for banning Roman Reigns, saying the company is saving lives by being firm on their talent's wellness...

''You don't see guys dying young (Anymore).''

Goldberg ready to listen:


Goldberg says WWE have not contacted him, but he is prepared to listen to what they have to offer...

"WWE has not called me to be a part of any roster. My relationship with WWE stands with the video game and the video game only. If they want to extend an olive branch and pick up the phone, then I will make a comment on that once they do it. But prior to that, nothing's been done."
