After thirteen years, WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart is returning to Madison Square Garden.
In what is being billed as Bret “The Hitman” Hart Appreciation Night, the official MSG website has announced that Hart will team up with The Hart Dynasty to wrestle three unspecified members of Nexus in a Six Man Tag Team Match at the September 25 SmackDown live event.
The match will mark as Hart’s first appearance at Madison Square Garden since a September 1997 Monday Night Raw taping, which saw him work a dark match against Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
The rest of the announced card is as follows:
* Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Jack Swagger – Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
* Kofi Kingston vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Christian vs. Matt Hardy – Fatal Four Way Match for the Intercontinental Championship
* Big Show vs. CM Punk*
* MVP vs. Cody Rhodes
* Kelly Kelly and Tiffany vs. Michelle McCool and Layla
-The injury for which Triple H underwent surgery was a torn biceps. The current belief is that it could be as late as December before he is healthy enough to return, with late October being optimistic. He is still being considered for a heel turn and alignment with Nexus, although if it were to happen, they would need to drag the angle out for at least a few more months.
-Ricky Steamboat remains in the hospital and continues to experience a great deal of head pain. This, coupled with the fact that he has been there for so many weeks now, has people very concerned.
— Former TNA personality Jonny Fairplay congratulated fellow reality television alum Mike “The Miz” Mizanin on winning Raw’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match in a Facebook post Sunday night. He followed up his post Monday morning with a remark TNA Wrestling official Jeff Jarrett made a few years ago concerning The Miz.
“Is remembering back to 2004 when Jeff Jarrett told me there was no money in The Miz,” Fairplay wrote. “Thanks, Jeff.”
At the time, Mizanin was working independent wrestling shows in California for Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW). He would catch a break a few months later when he landed a spot on the fourth season of Tough Enough. Despite losing the reality based contest to Daniel Puder, Mizanin piqued the interest of WWE officials and was eventually offered a developmental contract.

Editorial Note: The opening bout at Superbrawl between Brian Pillman and Jushin Liger is awesome stuff that you should go out of your way to see if you never have before. Some might say this was the bout that ushered in the type of acrobatic wrestling that is more commonplace today.
For those of you with access to the service but who do not subscribe, it really is worth every penny. In some places, it’s as low as $6/month, which is a steal. You won’t see product shilling here very often, so just consider this a hearty endorsement of classic wrestling.

Former WWE Women’s Champion Nora “Molly Holly” Greenwald is getting married. The Minnesota native will marry a man by the name of Geno Benshoof in a small ceremony in the backyard garden of the groom’s family home in White Bear Lake, Minnesota later this month. The wedding comes just one year after the two met at a drug and alcohol recovery program.
Over a three-year period, the former WWE Diva’s husband-to-be had been arrested, charged and convicted of felony drug possession, burglary and possession of a dangerous weapon. He was also homeless and had contemplated suicide. It all came to head in February 2009 when a judge ordered him to enter a drug rehabilitation program or face 56 months in prison.
Greenwald was working at a Minneapolis center as a teen counselor when she met Benshoof, who had just landed an internship after completing court-ordered drug treatment. She said she couldn’t help being attracted to him.
“I knew I was falling for him,” Greenwald told the White Bear Press. “But I had to keep my feelings to myself to protect my job.”
Company policy prohibited counselors from dating interns, but Benshoof eventually landed a paying position and the two were free to date. A church pastor encouraged the relationship.
Greenwald admits Benshoof was her first boyfriend and that she doesn’t care to be a virgin.
“I’m a 32-year-old virgin that doesn’t care to be a 33-year-old virgin,” said Greenwald.
She then added, “Yup, we’re waiting until our wedding night. It’s pretty cool that Geno loves me enough to buy the car without test driving it first.”

During an interview with Jon Waldman of SLAM! Wrestling, revealed her hopefulness for WWE’s higher ups to debut a female edition of NXT at some point.
“When they told all of us about the idea of NXT, for the Divas that was our first question — will there be women on the show?” Torres said. “[There’s] a lot of value that could add because we’re always pushing for more with the Divas and bring the Divas to the next level. People don’t really get to know as much as the other superstars because of the amount of time you see us on TV. So having something show what it means to be a Diva… I think that’s what NXT is about — what it means to be a superstar — and I think a female version would be awesome because it could help communicate that to the world.”
Regarding her development as a wrestler, Torres says that the mixed martial arts’ training she received from the famed Gracie family has helped a lot, though not necessarily in the way that would first spring to mind.
“It helped a lot — not so much with the actual techniques and moves though they can be applied — it’s more about learning how bodies move; how to be athletic, awareness of your own body and what we’re working with in the ring,” she says. “It’s really helped me with being athletic and moving well.”
Torres also pinpoints the time when she felt she had really made herself known in wrestling; she feels, however, that there’s still much to be seen.
“When I started working with Maryse is when I really felt like people can start to see what I stand for and who I am. They’ve seen other sides — the interviewer side and as a manager — that was all fun and I enjoyed that, but they didn’t get to see who I am. I still believe that the WWE Universe still doesn’t truly know who I am and I can’t wait for them to really find out. I think there’s a lot more to come and more layers that can be revealed and I’m excited to do that.”
In an interview with Fanhouse.com, Kofi Kingston noted that there’s pressure to come up with new spots for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
“It gets harder and harder every time,” Kingston told Brian Fritz. “I definitely do put a lot of pressure on myself to come up with something new and innovative. I think that’s what the WWE Universe looks forward to. I know they’re like ‘well, how are they going to top the last one’.
“It’s gotten to the point where everybody knows it’s going to be awesome but there’s definitely an expectation as far as new and innovative things. We’ll see what happens man. This Sunday there’s going to be a lot of that going on especially being that there is a Raw and Smackdown Money in the Bank ladder match. We’re going to be competing which each other to try and put on the better show. People are definitely going to get their money’s worth.”
When asked to give his original thoughts on being moved to SmackDown, Kingston said, “I thought it was a very good opportunity to be honest.
“Smackdown was the only roster that I had never been a part of. I was with the Raw side, I was with ECW when I first came out. I had a few appearances on Smackdown but I never actually had a chance to be on the roster. So now that I am, I think it’s been an opportunity to be one of the main guys in there and be one of the guys, one of the flagship guys on the show. I thought it was an opportunity again to step up and kind of encounter a new frontier. It’s been very good so far and we’ll see where it all goes.”
The WWE Intercontinental Champion also commented on whether he expects Shawn Michaels to return for another match.
“I don’t know,” Kingston said. “He seems pretty adamant about not coming back. I don’t know. I guess you never say never but I’m leaning towards … Shawn is a really big family guy. He’s really wanting to spend a lot of time with his family and he’s earned that right. Yeah, I think that’s probably what he’s going to do. Who knows.”
— In an interview with SLAM! Wrestling, Drew McIntyre addressed his work visa issue that led to him temporarily being written off television last month.
“There was a process that had to be done, and a way it had to be done. It had to be done when it had to be done,” McIntyre told Greg Oliver. “I was always aware of the process that had to be done. It was blown out of proportion by so many people. … What you saw on TV was exactly the truth. It had to be done at that time.”
McIntyre also discussed his Money in the Bank match on Sunday, his recent wedding to fellow WWE performer Taryn Terrell (a/k/a Tiffany), and more.
— Former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Mikey Whipwreck revealed on his Facebook page that WWE has offered him a job as a trainer.
— Bill Carr, a Northeast based independent wrestler, is currently in Florida Championship Wrestling. No word yet on whether he’s be signed to a developmental contract.
