  • Zack Ryder Interview: His YouTube Show, Character & More

    Zack Ryder was interviewed by Newsday.com‘s Alfonso Castillo to promote tonight’s WWE RAW from Long Island, NY. Here are some highlights of what Ryder said about:

    How His “Z! True Long Island Story” YouTube Show Came About:

    “What happened was that about three months ago I was sick of just not being on TV, sick of just sitting in the background on the sidelines. So I created my opportunity. I created my own Youtube account. My parents got me a Flipcam for Christmas. And I started to make my own shows. And 16 episodes later, more than a million views, it’s starting to pick up… All my days off is basically doing that show. It’s thinking of things and messing around with my friends. They’ll help me film stuff, like the Superstars General Manager—just things to create controversy in a funny, light hearted way… I think I had no creative output before, so they really didn’t know who I was. I had a couple matches here and there, but I never really had a chance to show who I really was, my personality and show how charismatic I was. Now this show has taken off. Guys like John Cena, The Miz, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, Chris Jericho are all praising me on Twitter and stuff like that. I wrote the bonus forward to Chris Jericho’s book. It’s just unbelievable. I think everyone is starting to notice.”

    Whether He’s Gotten Heat From WWE Management For The Show:

    “At first, I was afraid too. I thought, ‘Am I going to get in trouble?’ But I’m not trying to cause any problems. I just want to get my name out there and create my own opportunity, and make some money for the company and for myself. Now they’re really getting behind it. Like you said, there are signs every single week. My T-Shirts are selling out, and I’m not even on television. It’s unheard of. So, I think they have to get behind it.… As far as I know, I haven’t been punished. But before I started the Youtube show, I was at the bottom of the card—the bottom. How much worse of a position could I have dropped to, you know? So it had to go up. That was my mind set. I was just sick of being at the bottom, knowing I could be so much more. It was all or nothing, basically.”

    Working His Way Up The WWE Ranks:

    “I guess I am grateful that I have a job in WWE, but that my plan my whole life. So, it’s kind of expected for me. So I’m not satisfied with my spot on the card. I definitely want to move up. And that’s what I’m going to do. Or at least I’m going to try my best and go out swinging. I’m not going to just sit back and say, ‘Oh, I should have done that,’ or ‘I should have done this.’ When my time comes to an end, I know I’ll have no regrets… I’ve been under contract for five years. I’ve been on television for four. So that’s a pretty long time. So many people come and go in four years. But I have all the time in the world. I’m only 26. I’m one of the youngest guys on the roster. I’m not going to stop until everyone in this world knows who Zack Ryder is.”

  • HBK Talks About His Career & New Hunting Show

    WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels recently spoke with TelegraphJournal.com about a hunting trip in Canada he participated in.

    HBK will be starring in his own hunting show,  ‘Shawn Michaels’ MacMillan River Adventures,’ which premieres this summer (6/28) the Outdoor Channel.

    Here are the highlights of what Shawn said about:

    His Hall Of Fame Career & Life After Wrestling:

    “I’ve accomplished far more than I ever possibly could have imagined. It was a phenomenal run and I enjoyed every second of it. As I say, I enjoy going back and visiting everybody. I’ll always be a part of that company and I’m thankful that those are just a few of many, many memories that I have because I’ve got a bunch.”

    “When you do that for as long as you do it, you’re not sure you can be normal and have normal friends and have other friends outside of it. So I’ve enjoyed seeing that that’s possible. Knowing that I can meet people that weren’t in my line of work and have the same amount of trust and friendship with them that I have with the other guys.”

    His New Hunting Show on the Outdoor Channel:

    “I’m not doing a reality show, it’s not really even a hunting show, it’s more of an outdoor lifestyle show. We’re just two guys who have families who live an outdoor lifestyle so some of that will be captured on film.”

  • JBL Responds To Lebron Blaming God For NBA Finals Loss

    Basketball superstar LeBron James’ Miami Heat came up short in the NBA finals, losing the decisive Game 6 against the Dallas Mavericks. In a post-game press conference, LeBron gave the following explanation as to why his star-studded team was unable to bring home the championship they promised the city of Miami:

    “The Greater Man upstairs know when it’s my time. Right now isn’t the time.”

    It wasn’t that the Mavericks were a better team, it’s God’s fault.

    Former WWE superstar John Bradshaw Layfield has posted a lengthy response to the claims of “King James,” which he calls a classless move. JBL wrote on Facebook:

    “There are reportedly one billion people in this world that are hungry, several wars and people worldwide trying to get over terrible disasters-I don’t believe God cares who won the NBA Finals.”

    “LeBron James brought his “talents” to South Beach, too bad those “talents” don’t include a heart-or the ability for correct introspection. Now, after the worst final choke in history his answer is that God didn’t want him to win. He tweeted “The greater man upstairs knows when it is my time. Right now isn’t the time.” At least he acknowledged that God is the greater man.

    “Does this mean that God is a Maverick fan? Or that God was rooting for Dirk or Jason? Or that God was just rooting against Miami?… Thank God for your health, for your family, for the opportunity-but please don’t thank God anymore for sports victories-I don’t believe he is a sports fan, and I hope he is not because I hope he has bigger issues to work on.

    “And, PLEASE whatever you do-don’t blame him for your losses-that is just classless.??”Now as LeBron stated so emphatically-I’ll go back to my daily life as we commoners tend to do. Which isn’t so bad-and, BTW, I have as many rings as LeBron.”

  • Animal Has Magazine Clarify His Views On WWE’s Drug Policy

    It was reported last month that WWE Hall of Famer Road Warrior Animal was removed as the guest host of a slate of recent Raw live events due to WWE’s belief that he was critical of their drug testing policy in a recently published interview with Power Slam magazine.

    An article was published online pertaining to his comments regarding WWE’s Wellness Policy. The multi-time tag team champion stated during a subsequent interview with Minneapolis based sports radio station KFAN Sports Radio AM 1130 that his remarks were taken out of context by the writer of the online article. He also contacted Power Slam to publish a clarification regarding his views on WWE’s drug testing policy.

    “My true feelings are that it is one of the most stringent drug testing policies in all of pro sports, and there’s no way that any athlete can beat it,” Animal says in the latest issue of Power Slam. “I was in no way slamming WWE, who gave me a great induction into the Hall of Fame. I support WWE’s Wellness policy and all the other things they do for all their athletes.”

    Animal participated in an interview with the magazine days before his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame and was asked about how important the larger-than-life, steroid-enhanced physiques were to the image of The Road Warriors. He was also asked if the team would have been the same force had they debuted in the modern WWE era where performers are drug tested.

    “Let’s be totally honest with people right now. Look at the guys that are in [WWE] now. If anybody thinks that everybody there is 100-percent clean, they’ve got be smoking something,” he replied.

    “I know they get drug tested and they do catch people, and people do get suspended, but I really don’t believe that everybody gets drug tested on the same level. I know the look of a person who looks like they’ve been on or off [steroids].”

    “When we took them, it was totally legal to carry them on you.”

    Animal stated last week during an interview with BetweenTheRopes.com that his brother John Laurinaitis, who reigns as WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, informed him that WWE had decided to cancel his scheduled live event appearances due to his aforementioned remarks. He added that he has not spoken to WWE since.

  • NY Law Firm Claims $5 Million From WWE In Injury Lawsuit

    The law firm of Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. issued the following press release Sunday announcing a $5 million settlement with WWE following a motor vehicle accident involving a WWE employee in 2007.

    World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc. Sued for $5 Million

    Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. recently accepted a settlement offer of $5 million after 4 weeks of trial on behalf of a client who was injured in a low impact motor vehicle accident in downtown Manhattan. The client suffered a knee injury which resulted in surgical procedures and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

    New York, NY (PRWEB) June 12, 2011

    Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C., a leader among personal injury and medical malpractice firms in the New York area, recently settled a case (Index No 13451/08- Kimberly Benson v. World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc. and Matthew T. Yackeren) for $5 million involving a knee injury caused by a low-speed, low-impact motor vehicle accident.

    According to court documents, On November 2, 2007, Kimberly Benson’s car was struck in a sideswipe collision by a vehicle operated by Matthew Yackeren, an employee of World Wrestling Federation Entertainment. As a result of the low impact motor vehicle accident that occurred at a low rate of speed, Ms. Benson suffered a knee injury.

    According to the case, Yackeren was driving a commercial van in the financial district of downtown Manhattan. While attempting to pass traffic, he backed up and then struck Ms. Benson’s jeep in the back driver side bumper with the side of his van. Damage to both vehicles was minimal.

    Court documents show that Ms. Benson, a 41 year old mother and phlebotomy manager with a pre-existing knee injury, suffered a fracture of the cartilage in her knee and underwent several surgical procedures. In addition to the pain, degeneration of soft tissue and difficulty ambulating, Benson also developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) aka Reflex Symptomatic Dystrophy (RSD), a debilitating chronic pain condition which rendered her disabled and incapable of working.

    Benson sued World Wrestling Federation Entertainment and their driver, Matthew Yackeren, for past and future medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. The case (Index No 13451/08) went to trial, and the defense argued causation- the low impact accident that occurred at such a low rate of speed could not have caused an injury.

    After four weeks of trial, both parties settled the case. Benson recovered $5 million from World Wrestling Federation Entertainment and Matthew Yackeren. Andrew L. Libo, the attorney for Benson from Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C., was satisfied with the result. “Kimberly’s life and the life of her daughter will never be the same, due to this accident. We refused to settle this case before trial because we knew Kimberly deserved justice, and we were willing to fight as long as needed to ensure she was justly compensated.” The trial was conducted by Jeff S. Korek and Nicolas Bagley.

    — Goldust, who has posted over 30,000 messages on Twitter since last year, was apparently told by WWE officials to cease using the microblogging website earlier this week.

    — A.J. debuted a new theme song on last night’s episode of SmackDown prior to her match against Tamina. It is a production music song called Right Now. It was composed by Tyler Van Den Berg, who specializes in “girl next door” female vocals and catchy electropop.

  • WWE Over the Limit Draws Near Record Low PPV Buy Number

    While WWE has yet to release the buy number for last month’s Over the Limit pay-per-view event, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the show is estimated to have garnered 65,000 buys in the United States (based on trending patterns as well as actual cable reports).

    Should this number hold up, it would be WWE’s least watched pay-per-view event in nearly five years. The 2006 pay-per-view event December to Dismember drew approximately 90,000 pay-per-view buys, with 55,000 of them domestic—the lowest buyrate in company history.

    To show the accuracy of trending numbers, they would have indicated 90,000 for TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (real number was 101,000), 260,000 for Royal Rumble (real number 264,000), 160,000 for Elimination Chamber (real number 136,000) and 630,000 for WrestleMania XXVII (real number 617,000).

    Over the Limit was headlined by John Cena vs. The Miz, Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler, and Randy Orton vs. Christian.

    “I don’t want to give followers or adversaries insight into who I am. I’m thinking of having my next T-shirt read, “Cody Rhodes” on the front and, “Not On The Internet” on the back. I think Twitter is ridiculous,” Rhodes said.

    “If you have time to Tweet about what you’re eating, I don’t think you’re working hard enough. I may be a workaholic—and I know I’ve been accused of that before—but I can’t see myself Tweeting to members of the WWE Universe about how I wanted my eggs over easy and they came scrambled instead. I’ll go on the record: The day Tom Hanks gets a Twitter account is the day I’ll get a Twitter account.”

  • Christina Crawford Speaks On TE, Giving Up WWE Contract, More

    Tough Enough contestant, Christina Crawford, speaks for the first time about her Tough Enough elimination, her injury, whether she felt responsible for Ivelisse’s injury and more. Plus, we get insight into the process that lead to her joining Tough Enough: giving up her WWE developmental contract (she was Cayley Turner in FCW) to do the show. Christina also discusses her sister, WWE Diva Alicia Fox and why she wasn’t billed as Fox’s sister on the show. Christina also gives her opinion on Andy being crowned champion and whether she regrets giving up her developmental deal to do the show considering she didn’t win.

    Interview can be streamed/downloaded here:

    Excerpts:

    On giving up her WWE developmental contract to feature in Tough Enough: “We still had to go through the same process as everyone else as far as auditioning for the show. We did have to relinquish our contracts because the point is to get a contract through Tough Enough. […] We went through the same process. It wasn’t like a free ride at all. Once we were there we worked extremely hard to keep our spot. We all wanted to win so it wasn’t a walk in the park at all.”

    Why she wanted to do Tough Enough: “From what I knew from past Tough Enoughs, I was like ‘That sounds cool. It looked like something I could do. Of course I was nervous, but at that time in my training, I felt like I was prepared to be thrown into something different. […] I wanted to something outside my comfort zone that would totally me, and that’s exactly what happened. I feel like I’ve grown so much since the show, especially as an entertainer and learning how to wrestle. It’s been really crazy. I’m a totally different person from where I was when I first started.”

    On not being referred to as Alicia Fox’s sister on the show & wanting to stand out on her own: “I love my sister Alicia very much. I’m really proud of her. I think for me, I’m happy with the direction it went. I’m still Christina. I’m still trying to make my own name in this business & show people what I can do besides Alicia. Outside of work, we’re attached at the hip. In work, we’re two different people and we’re distinguished as our two different identities. I think that was great and I really appreciated how it wasn’t really a main focus of anything.”

  • JR Blog: Scott Hall Doing Much Better, Hogan & Warrior

    WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog update, which you can read in its entirety over at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:

    Latest Legends of Wrestling filming: “Great week of TV production this week in Stamford at WWE HQ. The nWo 15th Anniversary Legends Roundtable airs on WWE On Demand in July. Kevin Nash, Gene Okerlund and JJ Dillon were able to provide some great insight to the WCW/nWo days. @RealKevinNash is still in great shape and still has some fuel in the tank the the desire to use it. Kevin added a great deal to the panel on the nWo discussion. It’s a program that could have multiple parts if WWE wants to revisit it at some point. ”

    Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior: “What do I think of the recent Hulk-Warrior war of words? Nothing. It’s none of my business and I’m not interested in following what appears to be a ‘pissing contest.’”

    Update on Scott Hall’s health: “Kevin said Scott Hall was doing “much, much better” as of recent days and that Scott was likely going to be the subject of a feature on ESPN. I was really happy to hear that Scott was getting healthier. I can attest to the fact that Scott Hall has one of the most creative minds in the business or at least he did when I was around him back in the day. Scott always possessed great wrestling instincts and had the ability to process in ring content and promo material as well as anyone.”

  • Kurt Angle Almost Ended Undertaker’s WM Streak

    In an interview with TheSun.co.uk, TNA star Kurt Angle reveals that The Undertaker wanted him to end his WrestleMania streak back at WrestleMania 22 back in 2002. Angle told WrestleCast hosts Rob and Joel:

    “The person who wanted to do it was Undertaker himself. I was flattered, for him to go to Vince McMahon and pitch it.

    “Undertaker at that point never had a five-star Wrestlemania moment match.

    “He figured that the only one he could do it was me, at the time. Thank God a couple of years later he had Shawn Michaels, and it worked.

    “But Undertaker really wanted to have that match, he asked Vince to push our match back from No Way Out to WrestleMania and, since I was champion they wanted me to keep the title, Undertaker was willing to take the loss.

    “To me that meant a lot because Undertaker had a lot of respect for me — and I had more respect for him than he did for me.”

  • Ultimate Warrior Explains Why He’s Attacking Hulk Hogan

    Earlier this week, former WWE superstar the Ultimate Warrior took his ongoing feud to the next level – releasing a 7-minute video preview of his upcoming ‘shoot interview’ – in which he intends to expose Hulk Hogan for the man he truly is. Warrior accused Hulk Hogan of being a cocaine-abusing scumbag who kept other wrestlers on drugs so he could control them – but still let them all sleep with his ex-wife Linda. If the preview video is any indication, this is going to be one of the most controversial shoot interviews ever.

    VIDEO: Watch Warrior’s Preview Video (Must See)

    Hogan told TMZ.com this week that he is considering legal action against Ultimate Warrior for his comments, but that hasn’t stopped Warrior from continuing his mission. On Friday, Warrior fired up the ‘ol Twitter machine and released a statement regarding his escalating smear campaign against his WrestleMania 6 opponent. Warrior tweeted:

    “This thing going on between Terry and I is about something bigger than each of us. It is about YOU and the worth of your life.

    People can do better things with their life potential than others but NO ONE has more potential than any other to start with.

    All of us are born with the potential to do great things and live great lives.

    When one does, the right thing to do is influence, inspire and empower other humans that they have the potential inside themselves, too.

    Terry, doesn’t do this. First, he takes credit for everything. There is no room for anyone else or praise for others.

    Two, he has NOT used his incredible life success experiences to learn from them: grow wiser, be a better man, be a more capable mentor.

    When a man fails at this, he cannot be seen as a leader, someone to look up to or admire. Those who do see him as such have been mislead.

    Given the choice between the truth and the lies, they choose lies. Life will not work if you choose lies. This is what I know of life.

    This is why I fight. Not so you make me like Terry believes he is. NO, I fight so that you know you DO NOT have to tolerate lives of lies.

    Live lives of truth. Inspire ME. I succeeded at being a sports entertainer, and I am proud of what we did together.

    But, to me, YOU are ALL better than that. YOU can do better. You can turn the whole fucking world upside down. I can feel your power. W”
