Alum's son talks his mother's heartless reaction to his death:

Brian Pillman's son has blasted his mother for going on WWE TV the day after his father was found dead...

"She was already on her way out when he was dying. You can kinda see her heartlessness. It's like, why would you even go on TV 24 hours after your husband died?. Sure, it probably was a little bit of weird idea on his part, but the fact that my mother was like, 'Sure.' Like, you know what I mean, 'Give me some money and I'll do anything!' She was just, to see her go on there, it was just, it all comes back to that. That's the one point I can say, 'Yep! she never really was a good mother.'"

He also talked about the money WWE pay her to this day...

"She just sits on it and she don't have a job or nothing, she just spends it all away. When my car broke down one time, I needed 1500 bucks to fix it, she gave me 800 bucks. I'm like, well at least she gave me something. This is after 20 years of being completely neglected by my own parents With that money, she blew it all, and then my stepdad bought a new truck. For the kids, we didn't see an influx of s--t, we just saw them buying themselves stuff."

He later revealed he walked out of his home when he was 13, but claims his mother did not notice he was gone for a full month...

"She probably didn't know for a solid month that I was gone. I think she called me and said, 'Where'd you go?' I said, "I moved out, you've been asleep for a month."

HOF'er critical of John Cena:

Edge says he did not buy into John Cena's promo on the Undertaker...

"The John Cena promo, I thought it was pretty hokey. I'm not going to lie. It was cool at some points, but then it was very… I don't know, just a very hokey delivery. And I know that's Cena's schtick sometimes, but it just didn't feel like this was the moment or the opponent for that, I think. That was my gut when I first watched it. Yeah, I don't know. I think that's a huge, massive match and I'm glad the crowd reacted the way they did and I didn't even mind the going into the crowd thing, like, the way they're setting this up like if he doesn't have this match, or he doesn't have this match, or he doesn't have this match, he'll go and pay to sit in the audience. I guess it was just when it got to talking about The Undertaker stuff, it just didn't feel quite as… I don't know. I don't even know how to put my finger on it. I guess it's just sometimes it's kind of hokey delivery can kind of work, but in that instance, it just didn't work for me."

HOF:

''You know what, I saw a match – and I always study my matches. I always see what I did wrong, what I could do better. I was watching and there were things that I did that weren't up to the standard that I thought they should have been. And a lot of that… I think some of it was age, some of it was the fact that I had some pre-existing injuries that I really couldn't do all the things that I could do. And I didn't want the fans to remember me being injured and being a shell of my former self. I want people, when they remember me, to think of the Hall of Pain, when I was catching guys, 275 pounds. Picking up Big Show, close to 500 pounds, over my head and driving him through a table. And picking up Kane, 320 pounds and slamming him through tables. And jumping off the top rope to the ring and jumping out of the ring to the floor and splashing Kurt Angle. I wanted people to remember me at my greatest. Around 2015, I started to see my skills diminish. It happens to everybody. Father Time is undefeated. He is gonna win every time, and I saw him catching me.''

He says he now plans to move into acting.

Vampiro rants about WWE:

"I'm like Austin. It's all about spontaneity. I mean, if you don't have that, you're not going to make it. I don't care. And it irks me beyond belief, the WWE system, I think it is so wrong that some agent, or some dude who probably never really made it, but was on the cusp, but is a bitter motherf--ker, and he tells you what to do with your character! I'm against it, and I hate it, and it's probably why I never went to WWE, too rebellious."

Chance of a D-Bry Mania match?:

Daniel Bryan says he is doing everything he can to get cleared in time to team with Shane McMahon against KO and Sami at Mania this year...

"I don't know and I don't think they know. I think it all depends on whether or not I get cleared. As of this moment, as of today, I am not cleared by WWE. I have done everything in my power. Everything they have asked me to and I have gone above and beyond as far as 'Okay, what doctors do you need me to see. Send me to any doctor you want, any doctor that you want and lets get their feedback on what is going on with me.' So far every doctor has cleared me that they have sent me too and so there is a chance. I used to think that the percentage of the WWE ever clearing me was low. I think with the stuff that I have done it has gone a little higher but I don't know how much higher. With how everything is there is one day to go if I don't get cleared and then there is another way to go if I am cleared. I am hoping to be cleared but I don't know which way it goes."

17/3/2018

Happy St. Patrick's day to any Irish readers...

D Day for Roman:

As promised a film maker released what he claimed was a video confirming beyond doubt that Roman Reigns was a customer of a now jailed drug dealer today. However the video did nothing of the kind. it was full of speculation and gossip where he tried to implicate other big names by talking about the most tenuous links, such as naming Jesse Ventura, but not the Jesse Ventura, it was an alias used by a different client, he showed images of John Cena and Bobby Lashley while talking about someone he says was a client. He did not provide any proof he was buying for either of the wrestlers. He implicated the man that trained John Cena and brought Ultimate Warrior and Sting into the sport, but showed no proof of a connection to his being a client of the dealer being linked to any of the 3 men. he claimed to have seen proof that the dealer was in contact with Brock Lesnar, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Roman, but didn't share that in the video. He also claimed a WWE staffer acted as go between for John Cena and Rock, but could only show one text message they were named in, and that was totally ambiguous.

The only people he did manage to prove were clients were Daniel Puder and the man that trains Jinder Mahal and Sheamus. He hinted they may be clients, but again had nothing to prove it.

He blamed the police retaining the drug pushers personal devices, such as mobile phones and laptops for not being able to provide the evidence he claims is out there.

Before the video was released Roman talked about the situation on a radio show...

"At one point it's like, who is this? Where is this coming from? What did I do? Like, what the heck is going on? I'm just sitting at home playing with kids. I'm feeding babies and changing diapers, and doing dad stuff and then all of a sudden this happens. I think it's just a good lesson of where we're at. If you have any kind of social media presence; essentially, my Twitter is a billboard, unfortunately some people want to use whether it's in a positive passion and a negative passion. At the same time, it's one of those deals where, I know me, I know what I have done, and I know what the truth is. You have to have one of those bulletproof mentalities where it's like, these things are ricocheting off of me."

The film maker has taken a ton of heat since publishing his video, for not making good on sharing the proof he claimed to possess and has announced he is putting his YouTube channel on hiatus because people did not understand how hard he worked on the video and he was hurt that his efforts were not appreciated.

Booker T reveals why he refused to join NWO:

"Kevin Nash came to me, he goes, 'Book, hey, Book, man, you know this nWo thing is getting real hot, bro. And, man, we need some color, man.' I swear to God, that's how he said it! 'We need some color, bro.' He goes, 'we want to bring you in.' I go, 'man, thanks, but no thanks. No way.' I said, 'I'm a solo act, man.'"

He went on to say NWO almost killed the business because the three guys were interested only in themselves, he particularly savaged Hulk Hogan's heel run in WCW.

Actor deserves HOF:

David Arquette talked about Kid Rock's upcoming induction into the WWE HOF...

WWE blasted over new tribute:

Fans, mainstream media and women's right campaigners have rounded upon WWE for dedicating a new battle royal to WWE HOF'er Fabulous Moolah. Her controversial past has been raked up and shared everywhere since the tribute was announced at the start of this week. Allegations of her drugging females she worked with, to make her look better, the Spider Lady incident with Wendi Richter, screwing women out of jobs, pushes, title runs are rife and show her, it is proffered, to have a poor moral compass in the biz. Mainstream media were more interested in her alleged pimping of female wrestlers. She allegedly sold the services of her trainees and protegees to a man in Arizona, who then prostituted the ladies and gave Moolah a generous cut of the monies made, and her financial abuse of the women she taught via rent and exorbitant fees.

A campaign to have WWE change the name has already been set up, with thousands putting their name to it and rather unfairly the women that will be involved have been getting trolled on social media for being associated with the match, even though no-one has been named for the bout yet.
