It's still real to Willie... dammit:


Sgt Slaughter has revealed a run in he had with iconic musician Willie Nelson at WrestleMania 7...

"I walked around and listened to the silence. I knew in a few hours it wouldn't be silent any more. I was a character that wasn't liked. I was an Iraqi sympathizer and Hulk Hogan had the American flag and everyone wanted him to win. I was in the back loosening up. Willy Nelson was in the back since he was supposed to perform the national anthem. Donald Trump was there with his girlfriend at the time Marla Maples, Alex Trebek was there, he was going to be a ring announcer and Regis Philbin who was going to be a commentator. All these people I knew got away from me because they thought I was an Iraqi sympathizer. Willy Nelson came up to me and shook has head and told me I can't believe that you are going up against America. I told him, sometimes you have to do what you have to do. We entertained them and we got through the match."

Top star leaves LU:


Ricochet has refused to sign a deal with LU, but will make pay to play appearances for the rest of the current season. This is because they have ''Handcuffed'' him, so he can't work with others until the end of the series anyway.
