While it wasn’t a shock to anyone in the pro wrestling world, Pat Patterson’s revelation that he is gay on the season finale of “Legends House” got a lot of mainstream media attention.

The news made headlines on celebrity-gossip website TMZ, where the website claimed that Patterson “explained that he’s been keeping the secret out of the public eye for 5 decades … and had a partner for roughly 40 years, but he passed away after suffering a heart attack.”

After recently offering a free merchandise special to entice fans into subscribing to the WWE Network, WWE has come up with another promotional offer.

WWE is offering a deal on an annual subscription to the WWE Network as part of their Father’s Day special promotion. “Get one year of WWE Network for $119.88,” reads the ad that the company sent out. “That’s less than $10 per month.”

According to recent reports, things are said to be moving slowly in regards to the return of WWE’s “Tough Enough” reality a show, a program that the company noted would be part of the WWE Network package in the near future.

Filming for the show was reportedly supposed to begin during the first week of July at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, however it is being said now that the date could be pushed back.

Additionally, key talent WWE has under consideration for cast members of the show are not locked in yet and timing is starting to become an issue.

It was first reported back in 2012 when WWE was in the early stages of developing the WWE Network that their “Legends House” reality show would be ten episodes long. If that is still true today, that would mean that the season finale would be only two weeks away, airing on June 19th, as episode number eight is scheduled to air this Thursday night.

Back in January, we reported that the cast of Legends House traveled to Orlando, Florida to film additional footage for the show. We do know that the crew filmed a reunion of some sorts, but as far as the actual regular season is concerned, it’s looking like it will wrap up by the end of this month.

WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has commented on why he has not come out of retirement since wrestling his final match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. In a new documentary airing on the WWE Network spotlighting his classic WrestleMania 25 match against the Dead Man Michaels said,

“To have the WrestleMania 25 match and honestly sit there like two old gunslingers and think, ‘There’s no better way for this to go.’ And being at a maturity level where we can look at each other, appreciate each other, appreciate the changes in each other, appreciate everything about this job and how long we’ve done it and everything we’ve been through,” Michaels said.

“But, as two company figures who have been here the longest – somewhat together – and seen a lot come and go, that’s special. That’s why it’s always been easy for me to not desire to come back and not do it again.”

“I’ve never done a perfect thing in my life, but I am at least wise enough to know those things that I’ve done that shouldn’t be messed with.”

– Alberto Del Rio became the first person to officially qualify for the WWE Money In The Bank ladder match this year. Del Rio advanced to the match, which as noted may be for a the WWE World Heavyweight Championship depending on Daniel Bryan’s status, by defeating Dolph Ziggler at Monday’s RAW.
