Austin recalls title win:
Steve Austin is marking the twentieth anniversary of his first World title win, but he does not remember it fondly. He told WWE the match sucked, and also criticised Mike Tyson's performance...
"I thought the three count was a little too quick. You want to win that title with a slow, deliberate count of the proper cadence. He hit the mat too fast three times. That would be my only knock about what Mike Tyson did. We didn't get the chance to pull out all the stops. I didn't get the best out of Shawn Michaels and he didn't get the best out of me. I walked right back past the blue curtains and there was Vince. I looked at him and I said, 'Man, that match sucked.' He said, 'Don't worry about it, it all starts fresh tomorrow.' And the next day, that's where we started that campaign, the kind of Stone Cold thing with Vince McMahon, the corporate thing, and it all started working, all the pieces started falling into place. You always want to knock a grand slam every time you go out there. We didn't but things happened after that and that's what you do to move forward. You look past the match, put it behind us, I now have a championship, focus on things and move forward. That's what we did."
Hogan / WWE reunion:

Fan incident:
A furious dad beat an indie wrestler at a show this week. A little girl, too young to tell the difference between the heel and face ran to high five a wrestler as he came out. The wrestler held out his hand, but pulled it away at the last second and then spat on her. Dad was not impressed and ran after the bad guy, back jumped him and punched him to the ground, before other fans got between the two and broke it up.
The wrestler in question, Devin Danger, took to social media after a video of the incident was released, to apologise...
''I apologized to the girl & her father the night it happened.The gum wasn’t intended to hit her, that was an accident. I am again very sorry.''
HOF'er ill:
Arnold Schwarzenegger required emergency open heart surgery today. The operation was a replacement of a valve he had inserted in 1997, due to a heart defect, which had surpassed it's life span. An open heart surgery team were in the theatre, but only in case of an emergency, which did happen. The surgery lasted several hours. He is now recovering, his first words after waking up...
''I'm back.''
Which of course is a play on his iconic quote from 'Terminator.'
Rey rules himself out:
Rey Mysterio says he can't compete at Mania, due to injury.
