  • Kurt Angle Talks About His Chances At The Olympics

    TNA star Kurt Angle looks to make history next summer, as the Olympic gold medalist from the 1996 summer games by returning to the Olympic stage next summer in London. Angle spoke with the ZooToday.com website regarding his chances of making the United States Olympic team.

    Angle, who will be 43 next summer, is realistic about his chances of competing with the top amateur wrestlers in the world, many of whom are more than 15 years younger than him.

    “I definitely think I will be an underdog,” Angle said. “I am not going to be one of the guys picked to make the team and definitely not one of the guys picked to win a medal. When I was in the Atlanta Olympics I was already a world champion so there were high expectations when it came for me to perform. A lot of people didn’t know about the broken neck because I simply didn’t want anyone to know about it at the time.”

    Angle said trying out for the Olympics while in his 40s will be challenge, but it also adds something to his quest.

    “It’s kind of like a Rocky Balboa underdog story, because like Rocky if I get to the Olympics I have nothing to lose. One advantage I’ll have is that I’ve been through it all before but for me not having the pressure this time round to win the gold medal will make it a better experience. I can enjoy it this time and enjoy the training. I won’t be in a place where I say ‘Oh gosh I need to go to the gym today’. I can kind of enjoy it and have a passion for it this time.”

I worked with CM when he first became champ-really enjoyed it and really happy to see what a stud he has become. When you can put doubt as to whether shoot or work-you have done your job very well!”

  • Del Rio Talks About His Character, Adjusting To The WWE Style

    WWE star Alberto Del Rio spoke with the Miami Herald this week to promote next year’s WrestleMania 28 pay-per-view. Here are some highlights of what Del Rio, who now resides in Tampa, Florida, said about:

    The Origin of His Character: “Alberto Del Rio is something Vince McMahon and I created,” he said. “We created this character. He came up with the idea of the scarf, the cars and everything. However, I developed the character from guys from the movies like ‘Scarface’ and ‘The Godfather’ or guys who I hated during my life.”

    “I was like this before WWE,” he added. “I wore these kinds of clothes. I like to have nice cars when I was in Mexico, and in the United States, it’s the same. It doesn’t matter that I have a character on TV. Of course I don’t have as many cars as Alberto Del Rio, but the way I handle myself is somewhat similar.

    Adjusting To The WWE Style: “A lot of people helped me adjust to the style, including Steve Keirn, Dusty Rhodes, Norman Smiley. Those guys helped me in FCW because in Mexico we wrestle on the right side, and here we wrestle on the left side. That was the main issue because, essentially, wrestling is the same everywhere. That particular area and transition were kind of hard, but in the end everything worked out well.”

    WrestleMania 28: “It is going to be great,” Del Rio said. “This WrestleMania [27] was incredible, but I’m pretty sure next year’s WrestleMania [28] will be awesome. All the things we have here in Miami, it’s going to be a great event. They are going to be bringing in guys like The Rock and superstars from the past. So it’s going to be great.”

    “I’m going to be defending my WWE title at WrestleMania because I see myself as champion in a few months. John Cena, I’ve worked with him in the past. I’ve never had a program with him. I think that is the way I’m going now.”

    – Backstage, Cody Rhodes talked trash to Ted DiBiase.

    – Christian pinned Sin Cara with the spear. Sin Cara had some very solid, flashy offense and got some huge pops from the crowd. He also had a few spots that were almost botched, which Christian helped him recover from.

    – A contract signing between Orton vs. Christian was announced for later in the show.

    – Cody Rhodes (w/Ted DiBiase) defested Ezekiel Jackson in a non-title match. Cody got the win after DiBiase distracted Zeke.

    – A table was set up for the contract signing and the taping his moving quickly. Teddy Long came out and then both men were introduced.

  • Backstage News On CM Punk’s Promo & Contract Status

    According to a reliable source in WWE, CM Punk’s memorable shoot promo that ended Monday’s episode of WWE RAW was entirely unscripted improvised by Punk. Punk was instructed to go out and say in his own words why he was leaving the company, and nobody in the back knew what he was going to say.

    Company officials (and the entire locker room) were watching Punk’s promo very closely in case he went too far – and despite all the taboo things mentioned by the #1 contender to the WWE championship, the production team was only told to cut the segment when WWE’s anti-bullying campaign was mentioned, as the company does not want the program’s legitimacy questioned by bringing it into a storyline.

    Punk ‘s frustration with not being featured as a top superstar in WWE is legitimate and one of the reasons he’s been strongly considering leaving WWE.

    As far as his contract status, Punk’s deal apparently expired the second week of July, but he recently signed an extension to work through the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on July 17th.

    Based on what we are hearing, Punk really will be leaving WWE after Money in the Bank for at least a few months.

  • *SPOILERS* TNA Impact Wrestling Tapings Results (7/7)

    Credit to TNAInsider.com for the following spoiler results for next week’s episode of TNA Impact Wrestling on Spike:

    * The show starts out with Bully Ray, Gunner and Scott Steiner coming to the ring. Bully Ray tells Mr. Anderson to get out here. Mr. Anderson joins Immortal in the ring. Ray says Anderson needs to figure things out and make up his mind. He can have the full backing of Immortal and keep his title but he needs to make up his mind tonight by the end of the main event. Steiner gets in his face and says he’s either with them or against them. Gunner talks but it’s boring and the crowd is not with him at all.

    * The lights go out and focus on Sting on the catwalk. He let’s out a yell and Kurt Angle takes the opportunity to sneak in the ring and deliver Angle Slams to Gunner and Steiner. Bully Ray sneaks off before he can take one. Angle tells Anderson he needs to decide if he’s on their side as well and figure it out tonight.

    * In a Bound for Glory Series Match, Crimson vs. Robert Roode. Winner via Sky High, Crimson

    * Backstage, Abyss is frantically looking for his mask. He holds a backstage guy up to the wall and demands the mask. In another room, Brian Kendrick is shown meditating in his robe, only to lift his hood and show that he’s wearing Abyss’ mask.

    * We cut back to the ring and Kendrick comes out in street clothes holding the mask. He tells Abyss to come out and collect his mask. Kendrick once again goes off spouting philosophical points and making very little sense. The crowd is dead and is not behind him. Abyss comes out with a towel over his head covering his face. Kendrick talks some more about philosophy and energy fields and the usual and gives Abyss his mask back.

    * Abyss puts on the mask and then destroys Kendrick, knocking him down and hitting a black hole slam. He goes for more punishment but Generation Me, Amazing Red and Alex Shelley come out to stop him.

    * Three Way Destination X Qualifier, Jesse Sorrenson vs. Tony Nees vs. Jack Evans. Winner via 630 Splash, Jack Evans. Sorrenson is a local wrestler who is in a tag team called Hunks in Trunks and goes by Ryan Sorrenson.

    * Sting is laying on top of some lockers and is singing “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor to himself but replacing words with “Immortal.” Kurt Angle walks in and says he doesn’t know if he can trust Sting tonight because he’s gone crazy. Sting is Joker crazy and says he can trust him and then goes back to singing.

    * Knockouts Handicap Match, ODB & Jackie vs. Velvet Sky. Winner via DDT to Jackie, Velvet Sky. ODB and Jackie tried to use a chair on Velvet but she turned the tables and dropkicked it into ODB and hit a DDT to Jackie.

    * Bound for Glory Series Match, Matt Morgan & James Storm vs. Devon & “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero. Winners via belt shot to Storm by Pope with Devon getting the pin, Pope & Devon. Devon and Pope don’t get along during the match and at multiple times Pope left the ring to seek comfort from Devon’s family. Pope used the belt when the referee wasn’t looking and tagged in Devon so he could get the points in the Bound for Glory series.

    * Backstage, Hulk Hogan is shown beating up Sting. Every punch he throws, Sting just laughs at him and asks for more. Then Sting’s eyes grow wide and he says “Oh no” to which Hulk Hogan then knocks him out with a baseball bat.

Winner via Mic Check from Mr. Anderson to Kurt Angle, Immortal. Anderson made it seem like he was on Angle’s side but turned on him.

  • Video: Linda Hogan Accuses Hulk Of Physical Violence

    Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife Linda appeared on NBC’s Today show this morning and was interviewed by Matt Lauer to promote her new tell-all book, “Wrestling With The Hulk.”

    The most newsworthy part of the interview is Linda claiming that Hulk was physically violent with her during their marriage, a claim we haven’t heard from her before.

    Here’s a recap of her appearance, courtesy of SEScoops.com reader Mark Christie, as well as a video clip of the appearance:

    – Matt Lauer started off by saying that they reached out to Hulk Hogan, but he had no comment. Linda was asked about her statements that drugs were rampant in the wrestling world during Hulk’s career. She said that drugs were always around the house, from painkillers to steroids. According to Linda, Hogan would often become violent, throwing chairs, smashing doors, and choking her.

    – Linda stated that “Hogan Knows Best” was good for the family in that it brought them together during tough times. Their marriage ended shortly after the series was finished.

    – * Pictures of LINDA HOGAN & Her 21-Year-Old Boyfriend

    – Lauer then asked her about Nick Hogan’s role in the accident that seriously injured John Graziano. Linda actually said that the eight months that Nick received was too harsh of a sentence. Ugh! Lauer then concluded the interview by plugging the book.

    – Overall, Linda came across as very self absorbed. She took no responsibility for her divorce, placing all the blame on Hogan. Watching her saying that Nick’s sentence was too harsh was truly nauseating. It seems that in her eyes, Nick is the golden child who can do no wrong. She showed no concern for Graziano, or his family.?Hopefully, her book will be in the dollar bin soon.
