-Former WWE Diva Beth Phoenix, current TNA Impact Wrestling star Mr. Anderson, as well as WWE Hall Of Famer and current weekly RAW color-commentator Jerry “The King” Lawler are all involved in a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new comic book project titled, “Headlocked: The Last Territory.”

The official Kickstarter page for the project lists the following synopsis:

What is Headlocked?

In one sentence, it’s a wrestling cable drama in a comic book!

Headlocked is a coming-of-age story chronicling a college theater major’s quest to become a professional wrestler. It begins from the moment he unexpectedly falls in love with wrestling and follows his journey through the insanity of the wrestling business as he chases his dream of making it to the bright lights and the big stage of the WFW.

On a deeper level, Headlocked is an examination of wrestling as an art form. Our main character, Mike Hartmann, is a college theater major that drops out of school to try and break into the wrestling business. So the reader will learn more about the craft of wrestling through the eyes of a performance artist.

To further our theme of wrestling as art, we use wrestlers to contribute to the book artistically. Our interior artist, Michel Mulipola, is a wrestler from New Zealand. And our cover artist, you might have heard of him….

WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry “The King” Lawler!

If you read further, you’ll see we have a metric ton of awesome guest contributors from the world of comics and wrestling lined up to help make this even better!

Check out the official Kickstarter page for more information on the comic book and to donate to the project.

-A fan recently asked former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho for his thoughts on the current number one contender to the WWE Championship, Daniel Bryan, on his official Twitter page (@IAmJericho). Jericho’s response was simple, but encouraging. “Amazing,” exclaimed Jericho. “Next WWE champ.”

Daniel Bryan challenges John Cena for the WWE Championship at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view on Sunday, August 18th.

*SPOILER* – SummerSlam Main Event Outcome Between Cena & Bryan REVEALED!

-Despite rumors to the contrary, WWE Superstar Mark Henry has signed a new three-year deal with WWE. Recently, reports had surfaced that claimed Henry may be leaving the company.

-According to sources, the story of WWE pay-per-view results being leaked online was said to be an “embarassment” to the company. WWE was already aware that results to their shows were being posted on the internet, however, with multiple mainstream media outlets picking up the story, WWE is likely going to be forced to change at least one SummerSlam match outcome this year at the last minute.

-Additionally, there are reports floating around that claim WWE has caught the individual who was leaking results to the internet that resulted in the recent media coverage. The person has reportedly assured WWE that they would never leak results again. If SummerSlam results do not leak online in similar fashion to the last several pay-per-views, that would likely confirm that WWE has caught the person who started this whole catastrophe.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR wrote about:

Fandango vs. Randy Orton from RAW: “Fandango made a nice showing vs the MITB winner Randy Orton. Summer Rae’s ringside work adds to Fandango’s TV persona. Fandango’s best days are ahead especially as Summer Rae continues to develop while @RandyOrton is at the top of his game.”

RVD vs. Chris Jericho from RAW: “Loved the Jericho-RVD match. Generally a cold match featuring two, fan favorites challenges the crowd to emotionally invest as the rule of thumb is that the fans don’t want either man to lose. These two men put on such a great performance that it embraced all that were in Brooklyn live and that emotion translated well on TV. In 48 hours, RVD is already more relevant than he was the entire time that he was away from WWE.”

Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena at SummerSlam: “John Cena picked the only man that he should have logically picked, in my opinion, for the main event for the WWE Title bout at SummerSlam and that was the red hot Daniel Bryan. I will not be surprised if DB beats Cena in LA as that outcome would be HUGE in WWE-land and significantly re-shuffle the deck. Plus, MITB winner Randy Orton is obviously and largely in play no mater the main event’s outcome as Orton could realistically leave Summer Slam as the WWE Champion no matter who wins the Cena-Bryan match.”

According to reports, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns of The Shield have had some backstage heat on them since their debut in WWE. Though there is some speculation, no definite reasoning has been brought to light as to what is causing the backstage heat.

There were talks at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view on Sunday night, which took place in Philadelphia, PA, of having Damien Sandow defend his briefcase against Cody Rhodes at this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Rob Van Dam took to Twitter following the Money in the Bank pay-per-view tweeting about having to recieve fourteen stitches after his match saying, “Always wanted a Frankenstein zipper.”
