Taka Michinoku:

One of my favourite under rated stars of the attitude era is teasing returning. Since leaving WWE in 2002 he has stayed loyal and exclusive to his home nation, Japan, but says he is considering international offers for the first time since signing for WWE in 1997. He is welcoming any offers of bookings, and will make his decision in the new year.

Am I happy...??? #Indeed

Graphic injury:

A video has emerged online of indie star Shawn Phoenix horribly botching a 450 splash to the outside of the ring, from back in October. He suffered a cracked skull, a bleed to the brain and is now deaf in his left ear after the accident, which put him in the hospital for six days, and continues to stall his career. The video has been picked up by mainstream media since Hurricane Helms tweeted it out earlier in the week. He has received good wishes and harsh criticism in equal measure from fans and talent online, but seems keen to get back at some point.

It goes without saying that this is graphic, but they do, and so will I. Please be aware before you press play...

Perfect synchronicity:

The Singh Brothers have returned a gift from their parents. In 1996 the boys were given a WWF Hasbro wrestling ring. they returned it to them this week along with their first action figures of themselves. Their folks have displayed it in their home, with their boys standing inside.

Although the figures are much taller nowadays, and too tall for the ring, it is still pretty awesome IMO.
