  • Kevin Nash Talks Leaving TNA For WWE, WM27 Weekend & More

    WWE legend Kevin Nash spoke to Atlanta’s Creative Loafing blog to promote the VIP he’s throwing in Atlanta this Friday night as part of WrestleMania weekend. To read the full interview and get more details on Nash’s party – visit CLATL.com. Here are some highlights of what Nash said about:

    His Current Role in WWE: “For me, right now at almost 52 years old, I really don’t want to be bouncing around too much. I’m blessed that I can get around as well as I can after being beat up for so many years. But I’d still like to do anything I can do to help the young guys and help the federation move forward. So we’re going to sit down over ‘Mania weekend and the weeks after that, look at some options, and see what works for them and what works for myself and move forward.”

    Whether He’ll Be A Part Of WrestleMania Weekend: “I haven’t been told anything, but like any good pro wrestler, I’ll definitely pack my gear because you never know when somebody’s going to go down and they need a body. So I’ll make sure I have my gear on me in case I am needed. But I will be signing at the fan Axxess for them under my Legends contract. It’ll be nice to get back down there, and WrestleMania’s always special. It’s the Super Bowl of wrestling, and it’s nice to be part of the whole weekend. And to do our own little thing to kick it off is something that’s special to me because I’ve never tried to do anything like this before and it’s gotten a good response.

    Atlanta’s a sweet town. Great food, great nightlife, good people, so it will be good to spend a couple of days in Atlanta going to my old gyms and hanging out in my old stomping grounds.”

    His Decision To Leave TNA and Re-Join WWE: “I was with TNA for the better part of four or five years. I’d walk through the airport and people’d come up and ask for my autograph and ask if I was ever going to wrestle again. I’d be like, “I have been for the past five years.” There’s that much drop-off between WWE and TNA. Then coming back at the Rumble and running out in front of 20,000 people — well, walking out in my case — it was special. The reaction was nice and it’s nice to be back. To me, it was the right move. Everything goes full circle and I became a money player with WWE, and I’d like to finish my career with them.”

  • WM27 Main Event, The Rock In Chicago, Randy Savage

    — The main selling point for tonight’s episode of WWE RAW from Chicago is a live in-person appearance from WM27 guest host The Rock. The Rock arrived in Chicago last night and stayed at the same hotel as the rest of the WWE crew. The Rock was approached by several WWE fans at the hotel and was said to be very “accessible” – taking pictures and talking to people who came up to him.

    * Pictures of THE ROCK On The Set of His New Movie “Fast Five”

    — During a recent interview with The Wrestling Minute radio show, former WWE wrestler/manager “The Genuis” Lanny Poffo had some big news about his brother, “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Poffo said, “I’m not going to reveal his big secret because I am afraid of what he’ll do to me if I do, but keep watching, in the next month or so Macho Man will be doing something BIG!”

    * Macho Man Randy Savage Wedding Pictures from May 2010

    — The WWE website has once again changed the WrestleMania line-up and now lists WWE Champion The Miz vs. John Cena as the main event. Previously, Triple H vs. Undertaker had been hyped as the main event. Over the weekend, WWE was still going over different scenarios as to which match will end the show.

  • RAW Preview For Tonight: The Rock, Triple H-Taker & More

    Tonight is the final episode of WWE RAW before Sunday’s WrestleMania 27 pay-per-view. RAW takes place from the sold out Allstate Arena in Chicago and will feature a a live in-person appearance from The Rock. Here’s what’s advertised for tonight’s show:

    * A showdown between The Rock, The Miz and John Cena

    * Triple H and The Undertaker will go face-to-face to hype their big showdown on Sunday

    * Trish Stratus, Snooki, Layla and Michelle McCool will have a segment which was taped last week at a bar.

    *SPOILER* Angle Filmed With Snooki, Trish & LayCool For RAW (Pictures)

    The dark match main event that will take place after RAW will see Edge, Triple H, John Cena and Randy Orton team up against Wade Barrett, The Miz, CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio.

  • Exclusive: Backstage Heat On Snooki and Michelle McCool

    SEScoops has learned exclusively there is major backstage heat in WWE on the celebrity-involvement of Snooki in the tag team match at Wrestlemania, and the heat is not directed solely at Snooki.

    “We bust our asses 250 days a year on the road,” one prominent RAW-brand superstar claimed, “Snooki will cut right into everyone’s Wrestlemania paydays. And the whole show is built around Rock, who is not full time; Austin, from another era, too; Michael Cole, who doesn’t go on the road; Lawler, who doesn’t go on the road; Snooki, who is a three-shot appearance; and Michelle McCool, who is Undertaker’s wife and therefore doesn’t even go on the road with Layla El, who has to represent LayCool all by herself while her partner gets preferential treatment because of the person she married!”

    No superstar we spoke with seems to mind Undertaker or HHH’s role at Mania, since many feel both have earned their rightful spots, but many are concerned about the treatment McCool is afforded over and above all the other divas, as well as all the people collecting major paychecks for this year’s biggest show, and not helping the company “on a daily basis.”

  • Scott Hall Explains Why He Won’t Be At WrestleMania Weekend

    During an interview over the weekend with the Wrestling News Live radio show, former WWE superstar Scott Hall set the record straight as to whether he will be attending WrestleMania weekend and Shawn Michaels’ Hall of Fame induction.

    “ I want to announce right now that I wanted to be in Atlanta to see Shawn (Michaels) get inducted into the hall of fame but I had to change my mind because I’m not strong enough to be in that situation right now. All I wanted to be was around all my old buddies in Atlanta where we were over like rover with the NWO stuff, such a fun city… but being with the boys is such a heavy trigger for me to party like that. I’m not ready for that atmosphere, I’m just going to sit at home and watch it on Pay Per View”.

    For somebody that’s had a very storied history of battling addiction, you’ve gotta give Hall a ton of credit for making what appears to be a very difficult decision. You can tell how bad he wants to be there, but at this point in his life, he’s putting his sobriety first – and that’s something he deserves a ton of credit for.

  • UFC Legend’s Wife Gets Freaky On The Red Carpet

    Tito Ortiz’s significant other, Jenna Jameson was photographed kissing reality star Aubrey O’Day at Perez Hilton’s “Blue Ball” Birthday Bash in Hollywood over the weekend.

    The Tito-Jenna relationship has been a hot topic in Hollywood lately, as the two have taken to Twitter to take shots at one another as Tito is trying to keep his UFC career alive after being forced to pull out of Ultimate Fight Night in Seattle, Washington due to receiving 24 stitches above his eye after a training accident.

    Jenna, the world’s most famous retired porn star, has long been rumored to be Aubrey O’Day’s mentor, if not more. The two have always played up rumors of being more than friends, but sure went out of their way at the party to give that impression.

  • WrestleMania Plans For The Rock, Corre, Christian & More

    With WrestleMania 27 less than 1 week away, we’ve got some news on what WWE has planned for The Rock, the Corre, Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan and Christian.

    – The Rock’s current involvement with WWE has already turned out much better than either side expected. The Rock agreed to guest host WrestleMania earlier this year, but he’s enjoyed being back on WWE television so much that he’s now willing to get back in the ring for a few more matches. WWE is keeping a very tight lid on exactly what The Rock will do at WrestleMania, but most people within the company expect The Rock to eventually wrestle both The Miz and John Cena – with Miz likely being his first opponent.

    – The original plan for Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 27 was to have The Bella Twins in Sheamus’ corner and Gail Kim in Bryan’s corner, but it doesn’t look like that will be happening anymore.

    – The Corre had been scheduled to face Big Show, Kane, Kofi Kingston and Christian at WrestleMania, but WWE changed gears on this and Christian will now be involved in Edge and Alberto Del Rio’s World Heavyweight title feud.

    One angle that’s been discussed would be for Christian to be in Edge’s corner at WrestleMania, turn heel and then cost Edge the World Heavyweight title – setting up an eventual 3-man match between Edge, Christian and Del Rio.

  • Chris Jericho Blogs About His Debut On DWTS Last Week

    Former WWE superstar Chris Jericho is doing some blogging for TVSquad.com to give some behind-the-scenes insight into his current involvement on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars show.

    “I’ve performed in front of crowds of up to 70,000 people for more than two decades, but last week I experienced a whole different animal,” said Jericho.

    “Something so foreign, so terrifying, so intimidating that, beforehand, I was as nervous as a 12-year-old girl meeting Justin Bieber for the first time. Yes, kiddies, I was about to make my ballroom debut on ‘Dancing With the Stars’! After rehearsing incessantly for more than three weeks with my partner Cheryl Burke, it was finally time to do the first show.

    “My dress rehearsals had been a bit shaky — performing my routine in the actual ‘DWTS’ studio was scary. Suddenly the guy who had a so-called advantage because of years of performing live was behind the eight ball.

  • JR Blog: Chyna-HOF, Talent Left Off WM27, WWE All Stars

    WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog update, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some hilights o

    Talent Left Off WrestleMania: “Wrestlemania is a complex time for many talents. Some fret about either not being on the card or being thrown a bone to simply make an appearance ala a battle royal, etc. That’s never been my personal philosophy. Being booked on Wrestlemania is an earned honor, a privilege, and not a performer’s right.”

    “Then there are those who are booked and who are not in what one would perceive as ‘high profile bouts.’ My suggest is to go out, maximize ones minutes, and do everything possible to turn heads and steal a small aspect of the show.”

    Chyna In The WWE Hall of Fame: “So Trish Stratus endorsed Chyna for the WWE HOF. That’s Trish’s opinion. I’m sure Chyna’s name might come up some day. My thoughts on that matter is and will always remain that I felt it was wrong for Chyna to wrestle men on a regular basis and that her being the Intercontinental Champion was bad positioning. Does that mean that Chyna isn’t WWE HOF worthy? That’s not for me to speculate on as I am not in the decision making process of the WWE HOF.”

    WWE All Stars: “WWE All Stars is released next Tuesday March 29 and is going to hopefully be a big hit. For those of us that have spent many hours working on the project, we have a vested interest in this over the top, Arcade game that allows the player to book the greatest matches that never happened. Plus, I had a blast reuniting with the King again.”

  • Kurt Angle Arrested After Failing Field Sobriety Test

    TMZ.com is reporting that TNA star Kurt Angle was arrested on Friday morning in North Dakota.

    According to police, the highway patrol in Grand Forks, N.D. found Angle sitting in his parked car in the median separating lanes.

    Angle had reportedly pulled over after hitting an icy patch in the road. Police approached Angle’s parked car, smelled alcohol on Angle’s breath and asked him to take a field sobriety breath. Angle failed the test and was arrested.

    Since police did not catch Angle actually driving while under the influence, he was charged with “being in control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated.

  • WWE Releases Coming, Cena Concussion Update, MSG

    – WWE is expected to release several people in the weeks following WrestleMania 27. With Superstars’ run on WGN ending and the company bringing in lots of new talent through developmental and NXT, some mid-card talent will be let go.

    – The recent WWE storyline of John Cena suffering a concussion at the hands of The Miz and Alberto Del Rio was an angle and not a legit injury. There was no mention of the concussion on Monday’s RAW.

    – WWE’s live event from Madison Square Garden last weekend drew 18,500 fans and took in $795,000, making it one of the most profitable domestic live events (excluding PPVs) in company history. The RAW brand live event the night day in Newark, New Jersey drew 9,600 fans for a gate of $420,000.

    Monday Night Mayhem with Candice Michelle
    Hosted By The Big Mosh & “The Chairman of the Board” Todd Vincent
    Heard LIVE Monday Evenings @ 7PM ET/6PM CT

    Former WWE Diva/WWE Women’s Champion, former Playboy cover model, & Go Daddy Girl Candice Michelle was one of the featured guests on this week’s live edition of Monday Night Mayhem.

    Candice Michelle Discusses Her Transition From Leaving The WWE Into The Role Of Motherhood, Why She Believes That Her WWE Release Came At A Perfect Time In Her Life, Her WrestleMania Memories, If She Was Approached To Join TNA’s Knockout Division, Whether Or Not The In-Ring Chapter Of Her Career Has Come To A Close, Her Forthcoming Projects With Go Daddy, The Return Of The WWE Diva Search, Plus Her Message To The WWE Divas That May Feel Their WrestleMania Spot Is Being Taken By Snooki.

    You can listen to an MP3 of the radio show by clicking here.

    Interview highlights courtesy of The Mayhem’s official correspondent, Paterson from New Jersey:

    Her transition from leaving the WWE into the role of motherhood & why she believes that her WWE release came at a perfect time in her life: “For me, it’s been an awesome transition. I think it’s because I loved my time at the WWE. I loved the people I worked with, and I felt blessed there. And then when my released happened, I think it came at a perfect time in my life. I don’t think I was quite ready to say ‘I’m done,’ but when they released me, I realized that my life had a new venture. And then when motherhood came along, it was the best thing in the world. Her smile warms my heart everyday, so it’s been an awesome transition, and I feel very blessed in life.”

    Her message to the WWE Divas that may feel like their WrestleMania spot in being taken by Snooki: “The WWE is smart for putting her in WrestleMania because of the advertising it will bring. However, if I was a WWE Diva currently in the locker room, I’d be pissed off. You’re busting your ass every night, you’re going overseas, and traveling, and driving, and someone just comes in that has never wrestled a day in their life and has your spot? That’s sh*tty. My advice to them is be who you are, do the best you can, and get noticed. Snooki is noticed for what, being a drunk on a TV show being wild & crazy? Do I respect her? Yes. Does she deserve that spot? No.”

    Why she feels the in-ring chapter of her career is closed & whether or not she was approached by TNA to join their Knockouts division: “When I first left WWE and my non-compete clause was coming to an end, there was a mention that there was an interest in that door to be opened. For me, I was on the biggest stage that there was, and it felt like it was just a time in my life to close that chapter. I think TNA is great, and I sometimes prefer to watch TNA. My friends are there. I think the product is awesome. I love what they do with the girls division over there. It’s different. I feel like I’ve been watching the same thing over & over sometimes with the storylines getting redundant on WWE. I’ve always said ‘never say never,’ but in reality, I think that chapter is closed for me.”

  • Bobby Lashley Fighting Tonight On HDNet

    John Ott – Bobby Lashley's Next Opponent (3/25)

    Former WWE and TNA wrestler turned MMA fighter Bobby Lashley will step back in the cage next tonight – but he didn’t know who is his opponent would be until just a week ago.

    Kansas City-based heavyweight James Jack (6-2) had been scheduled to fight Lashley in the main event of Titan Fighting Championship 17 but has been pulled from the show and replaced by John Ott (9-7).

    According to a press release from Titan Fights, James Jack’s departure from the card comes under “questionable circumstances” after the organization was unable to reach him for several weeks leading up to the fight.

    Ott, who normally competes in the 185 and 205 lbs. divisions, is currently walking at 225 lbs.

    “John might be a little heavy for the fight but the extra weight he is carrying is all muscle,” said Kelly. “From a pure strength standpoint, he will be able to go in and compete with Bobby. His strong amateur wrestling credentials will also potentially allow him to neutralize Bobby’s takedowns and force the fight to stay on the feet.”

    Titan Fighting Championship will air live on HDNet on tonight at 10pm ET.
