Heat on Kane:

Jerry Jarrett says he feels Kane has heat with him, even though he made him...

"Kane has been a little bit of a disappointment. Because I saw him when I was up for the Hall of Fame. And maybe he didn't see me, but I thought he did because I waved at him and said, 'Hello Glenn!' Then when he was running for the mayor of Knoxville, I sent him a little tweet and said, 'Glenn, it's your old buddy', and he didn't answer back. So I don't know what that situation was, but I would think he wouldn't forget that his mother used to call me twice a week and say, 'Do you think Glenn's wasting his time? Will he ever make any money in this business?' I said, 'Yes ma'am, I think he will. Just got to wait for your opportunity.' I don't think he has forgotten that I'm the one that flew him to New York and introduced him to Vince McMahon. Maybe… I just, I don't know. All I can go by is the way he has acted, and if I see Sting or Scott Hall, they will run through the crowd to hug my neck. So there's some big difference."

NXT completes year:

NXT taped enough episodes to carry them into the new year, last night.

Edge suggests Reigns career may be over:

"I had to retire due to injury, but in this case, we're talking life or death. This is leukemia, a thing you don't expect to hear from a guy who is in the prime of his career and looks like a superhero. The first thing I felt when I heard the news was sad, but I don't think Roman wants people to feel that way. I feel for him, but the best thing he can do is surround himself with his family, and that's what he's doing. As long as he gets healthy, who cares if he ever wrestles again? I watched him on Raw and thought that moment had to be really, really difficult, but he handled it with poise and class."

Jake recalls Piper pulling gun on him:

"Piper's terrified of snakes!, Piper pulled a gun on me one time over a snake, man. Yeah, yeah, I snuck up behind him with the snake and he f--king heard me. He goes, 'Jake,' I go, 'yeah.' He goes, 'I know what you're f--king doing!' He dove and grabbed his pistol and he goes, 'motherf--ker, I'll kill you!' I go, 'okay, Roddy, I get it! I get it!' The guy was shaking, man."

He also says he finds one of his iconic spots sexually arousing. Talking about the Macho Man snake bite...

"When I'm having a little problem in the woodski department, which happens at 63, I put the video on, and instantly, I'm kicking her ass!, oh, brother. Damn straight. Holy s--t!"

Ellsworth proves innocence:

James Ellsworth claims his legal team have proven he is not guilty of sending explicit images to a teenage girl...

"Recently, allegations of misconduct have been lodged against me which I categorically deny. I never have, nor will I ever engage in any activity that could be deemed as inappropriate or disrespectful. My delay in publicly commenting on this situation was based on the advice of my legal team, which has just completed a thorough investigation. My attorneys have pinpointed a trusted witness who is willing to testify on my behalf. In addition, they have uncovered concrete evidence that supports my innocence and proves that without a shadow of a doubt the social media accounts alleged to be mine are fake and the messages from the account were fraudulently created without my knowledge or consent. My only hope is to restore my reputation as I, along with my family, friends and supporters have suffered because of a social media stunt devised to end my professional wrestling career. My team and I are prepared to pursue legal action against any party that persists with the promotion of these lies."

The girl in question is adamant she is telling the truth, and further accused Ellsworth of using hardcore drugs, but says she does regret taking her accusations to social media, due to the negative backlash she has received from fans.

Cody / Bucks promise big start to new year:

Cody Rhodes says he and Young Bucks will make an announcement in January that will be ''Bigger than anyone expects.''

Alum attacks old boy:

Hurricane is less than impressed with Enzo Amore after his PR stunt at Survivor Series...

"I think it was disrespectful because there were guys in the ring working. He tried to take away from them so that's disrespectful to the guys in the ring. And honestly my gut reaction was, 'Is this a work? Are these guys in on it?' I think that comes from just being in the business for so long, you sometimes think everything is a work but if it's not it's just disrespectful to the guys in the ring. If I am in the ring busting my a-- and I find out one of the boys is out in the crowd trying to take away from it, we're gonna have a conversation in the back. And that has happened at shows... I don't know where he's at in his life, if it's just a publicity stunt and I don't know the guy at all so I don't know where his head is at. Hopefully he can find some kind of success that brings him happiness in his life."

"I'm thinking, 'I just got cut in my neck, and if that's my jugular, I'm going to die.' Pretty quickly after that I exited the ring and had someone look at it. Luke is a dear friend of mine, and his son, who is a fantastic wrestler named Jungle Boy, was wrestling on the same show. We've been friends for over 30 years, so Luke is the one I went to see to look inside the wound. He looked and said no, so I knew I didn't cut a main artery or vein. I could feel something was wrong with my neck, but I wanted to finish the match and tell a complete story."

I haven't made a decision yet because it's a long time off. But if I do do it, Trump will not have a chance. For one, Trump knows wrestling, he participated in two WrestleMania's. He knows he can never outtalk a wrestler and he knows I'm the greatest talker wrestling's ever had. So if I go for it he's history and he knows it."

WWE robbed:

Cedric Alexander and Lucha House Party had their car broken into last night.

Tyson Kidd talks career ending injury:

"The night of injury, it was just one of those days where the show was being changed -- up to the last minute -- but the show was being changed and the next thing I know it's me against Joe in a dark match," Kidd said. "I'd never worked Joe before. I'd of course seen him. I'm a student of the game, I've seen everybody. But I'd never physically worked him. When we landed on the Muscle Buster, I saw the whitest light I've ever seen. I thought it was a concussion for a second. I remember thinking, 'Man, I did this whole match, completely on the fly, I pulled it off and then I get rocked at the end.' I have a picture and I think my hands are in the wrong position compared to other ones I've seen. I wasn't able to run through it with him (before the match)," Kidd explained. "I drop, bang, and at first I saw this light and I was like, 'Ah, man.' And then my whole body went limp. It felt like it weighed a million pounds. I was completely paralyzed. I was paralyzed from the neck down. We hit, however long it takes him to pin me 1, 2, 3, give it a beat and then I could move my fingers and toes," Kidd said. "It was probably five or six seconds. But time stands still. I knew because I was being pinned, but in terms of sense of time, it was out the window. If it had just happened and I'm just laying there, I would have had no clue, but since I was being pinned, I know it was only a matter of several seconds."

I was like, I don't care. Sami Zaynshould not bump you ever. Sami Zayn does not look like a guy - I asked him if Sami Zayn can kick his a** in real life, he said, 'Well, no.' I said, alright then. Why are you taking a bump for him? You know what I mean? This is coming from a guy with personal experience who had bumped for the wrong people my entire career because I didn't want to do the no-fall down stuff. I wanted to be respected as a worker so I can thank my knees, shoulders and back because I wanted to be a worker."

Punk may return of rumour is true:

CM Punk has expressed his first interest in a wrestling return since leaving WWE, but only if the rumour that Cody Rhodes and Young Bucks are to launch a new promotion in 2019 is true...

"I think at this point that whatever those guys decide to do will be great for them and their families. If I was asked what I would do or what I would say to them — because they could obviously go to WWE whenever they want — it's just a matter of is this what's best for your family? And I think we live in a time now where WWE is not the end-all, be-all. I don't think it has been for quite some time. I think the stigma that it is is still there and probably will persist for many, many years. But enough people have been there and left that can, I guess, extoll the knowledge of, 'Hey, you know what, the place ain't all that.' And I'm in a spot now where I've been gone what, five years? Maybe the place has changed. I've got people who text me and say otherwise, but there's ways to make money and support your family outside of that. With also being able to satisfy the side of your brain that's creative, the side of your brain that loves professional wrestling, the reason you bought a pair of boots in the first place. And I think those guys can definitely do that. I think they can command their price if they want there. But if they did go there, then they'd just be another guy — just like everybody else on that show. It's amazing, the more time the show gets, the less time it really seems they develop new characters.""I think at this point that whatever those guys decide to do will be great for them and their families.

I text with Matt on and off. But business is business. I know Cody was out there in the media saying that an offer was made. An offer was not made. Calling me up or texting me saying, 'Hey, if you want to come to the show and do something, we would love that' is not an offer. That's not an offer. There's other things. There's a couple more loose ends that I'm still trying to tie up to fully absolve me from the world of pro wrestling. I feel like I've still been attached to it since the day that I left it and that's mostly because of fugazi lawyers and such. But we're wrapping all that up and that'll come to an end. And once I'm truly free, we can explore the world and just float and hang out. And I can walk my dog and drink coffee and do commentary for Dave Sholler and continue to train at Roufusport. And do all kinds of stuff. I've earned it, I've paid my dues."

I thought 'What do I do... well, tell the truth, right?' So I said, 'Yeah, I have a girlfriend, but she's not my wife yet.' I got nervous, and they all started smiling.

I will pass on the information.' He hung up the phone. When I hung up, I thought, well, that is the last time I will hear from them.

MMA legend questions why UFC are bringing Lesnar back:

Randy Couture is no fan of the Universal champion...

"Well, you know, they want to tout their USADA and all their strict rules for drug testing, but somehow this guy managed to get through and still managed to fail a test but still compete. Which begs the question: what's going on? "Obviously, the rankings and all of that stuff, they manipulate that however they want anyway. Whatever makes business sense to them is all that really matters. They don't care about the fighters. They don't care about those rankings. You know, lots of guys have jumped queue. It's certainly not based on merit. So, that's nothing new. I'm not surprised. Lesnar's a huge draw. I mean, at the end of the day that's the business of it. It's about selling pay-per-views. Certainly, Cormier is the champ and rightly so, they're gonna put him in there with a guy like DC and that's gonna draw huge pay-per-view numbers. So, that's what it boils down to for them."

Mick Foley talks difficulties of Raw GM job:

"It was a tough job, and the strange thing about it was the unparalleled negativity from the fan base on social media, who apparently thought WWE really allowed a 53-year-old with a fanny pack to run a billion-dollar corporation. Most of the comments will be negative, and I did have some say in certain instances, and part of that job was to see which battles to fight and why. There would be times when I would talk to Mr. McMahon and say that I would like to handle this on my own. I had some words, and how I say something is more important than what I say. If I had left six or seven lasting impressions in the eight-month span then that is a pretty good track record."

''As some of you might have seen, last week I was injured in a wrestling death match. I wanted to make sure to address the photos and videos that have surfaced from the event, as this is not the type of wrestling you watch on TV. I knew it was violent and potentially bloody, but I truly did not know the extent of what I was participating in. However, I take responsibility for putting myself in that situation. For the last six months, I have been training and competing in indie matches around the country, as wrestling is a passion of mine. I want to state again that this is not traditional sport, and I have the utmost respect for that sport. I also want to apologize to the professional wr stling world for any negative attention this might have brought forth over the weekend, and I have zero plans to be involved in a match like this again. I want to thank all of my fans, friends, and family for their love and support over the last few days. I am looking forward to getting back into the ring, under much different circumstances - in the near future. However my priority and full-time dedication will always be to acting and producing, and I look forward to sharing some of my exciting new projects in 2019. With Love, David Arquette.''

Attempted murder in wrestling ring:

Cuervo was led to the back after coming too, and Demonio finished the match alone by putting himself in a casket in the middle of the ring.

I'm taking over this ship.' I'm the most victorious of all Superstars on both Raw and SmackDown of 2018. I've won the most matches; therefore, I am the man of not just the women's locker room, but the men's locker room. I am the man. It doesn't matter your gender, your race, your sexuality, whatever it is… we're all equal. I think that's what I want to get over more than anything. We are all 100 percent equal, and it's what you do with that that counts."
