Kane and McMahon have both main scented several PPVs though.
I thought the question was main evented a ppv as champion. Kane only won the WWF/E title once unless we're counting his run with the WHC.

Dave Meltzer noted that Blackjack Mulligan was back home as of yesterday. He had suffered a serious heart attack earlier this week and has been dealing with health issues in recent years. Last night he needed several issues to be taken care of but there was fear that if they put him under (anesthesia) that it would be too risky.
There was a video of Mulligan posted on the Championship Wrestling from Florida Archives Facebook page yesterday. There was a rumor going around earlier today that Blackjack had passed away. Apparently the rumor started on Reddit and then mentioned by Sean Waltman on his twitter page.
WWE will be running a Tough Enough after-show called Tough Talk. The program will air on the WWE Network following the original broadcast and be hosted by Tough Enough alumni The Miz. You can see a hype video for the show at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH93a1dBPHY.
The dark match before last night's WWE NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University saw top indie star Johnny Gargano defeat new WWE talent Uhaa Nation. EVOLVE released the following statement today on Gargano: "Johnny Gargano wrestled Uhaa Nation at last night's NXT taping in a dark match. Watch their first ever match at EVOLVE 27 here. We are very happy that WWE gave Gargano this opportunity. We have all traveled the road with Gargano and watched him go from the pre-show FRAY! on the first ever DGUSA event to his historic reigns as DGUSA Champion. If there is ever a WWN Hall Of Fame, Gargano is sure to be on the first ballot. It is only with your support that Gargano has accomplished all these things. Gargano remains under WWN contract. He will return to EVOLVE in New York on August 15th and 16th. We can already announce one of the huge matches he will be involved in that weekend. After what happened at EVOLVE 44, it'll be Gargano vs. Ethan Page in an Anything Goes Match at EVOLVE 47 in Queens, NY at La Boom."
Australia PPV Channel Main Event announced the following on their Facebook Page: "After a long and fruitful relationship, it is with regret that Main Event and TNA Wrestling are ending their relationship. The last episode of IMPACT WRESTLING on Main Event will air on Saturday June 27. The last Pay Per View broadcast will be Slammiversary 2015, which will replay up until Tuesday June 30. Australian wrestling fans can still follow what is happening in TNA via http://www.impactwrestling.com/ and http://www.youtube.com/user/TNAwrestling."
“Daniel Bryan is finished,” said Hart. “He’ll never wrestle again. I don’t think he knows it yet. I feel terrible about Daniel Bryan. For all intents and purposes, he had the exact same thing happen to him that happened to me after Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head [ending Hart’s career].
“One day, you learn it’s over. Doctors tell you that you can’t wrestle and you’ll never wrestle again. I lost millions of dollars because of that. I pray that it’s not the same for Daniel Bryan.” ...
“But, in the creation of Roman Reigns, he seems to now be a lot like Triple H’s character. Long hair, indestructible, no facials, he’s always angry, and there’s no softness in his eyes, so it’s very hard to get sympathy. All of that was poorly thought out. There are ways to achieve all those things with dramatic logic in the match, but they missed a lot of that with him. The company said, ‘We’re going to get this guy so over that no one will be able to compare to him.’ In the end, no one liked him. They just need sometimes that there is a logic that goes to wrestling and people like to see.” ...
“If you watch punches, kicks, and moves where there is contact, Cody Rhodes is one of the best. I watch a lot of wrestlers in WWE throw the phoniest, worst punches – WWE tries to cut camera at the last second. In my day, wrestling had to look pretty real. Cody Rhodes’ punches are right in there, his kicks are right in there, and you never see Cody Rhodes talking in the ring. You see a lot of wrestlers – who aren’t good professionals – talking and calling spots in the ring. They’re oblivious to the fact that all the fans can see them calling a high spot to the guy. There is an art to wrestling and there is a need to do it right. Cody Rhodes exemplifies all the right things.” ...
Hart also provided some perspective as to why Sting lost in his WWE debut at WrestleMania.
“It was so obvious that Sting was going to win that too many people took it for granted,” he said. “So that was the swerve. Then Rock and Triple H planted a few seeds for WrestleMania 32 in that long promo in the ring, and that’s why Triple H needed to go over. Also, Sting isn’t done yet. I’ve heard he has a light contract of a few more pay per view dates.”

Wait, so Christian can still technically wrestle? I'd be worried for his health too, but if the dude is cleared and wants to go, at least give him a proper send-off. He's been gone long enough that it could be refreshing. Imagine him hosting a Peep Show in the ring after "retiring," then he cracks a steel chair over some babyface's back. Even one more match against Randy Orton.
As for Bryan -- he does need to do what is best for him. Only he knows what that is. I was thinking the other day that Bryan coming back with a more mechanically-focused heel gimmick would be interesting. But does it need to happen?

Paige should probably give a call to Evil Emma, who still seems to be working face at main roster house shows. I feel bad for Emma, who should have been way more than what she is. Just re-focus her a little and point out that she had a friendly rivalry with Paige.

Mr. Nerfect
06-20-2015, 09:54 PM
Nattie should offer and Paige should turn her down because it didn't work at the Royal Rumble. Nattie should then turn heel on Paige and align with the The Bellas. Paige and Emma then need to find a new partner to take them on. Perhaps this is where they give Becky Lynch a call. She would fit Paige and Emma's style. Layla and Summer Rae join up with Alicia Fox, because they feel like people have forgotten what they can be. Charlotte doesn't want to be overtaken, so she reluctantly joins up with Naomi and Tamina.
The Bellas & Natalya vs. Paige, Emma & Becky Lynch vs. The Slayers vs. Naomi, Tamina & Charlotte
A clusterfuck, but it gives the core female performers in the WWE something to do and focuses everyone into an angle.

I'm pretty excited for the Japan show.
* Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadores is a feud that I've wanted to see for ages. Have The Dragons win the first match between the two, which Fernando y Diego laugh off. Then Sin Cara y Kalisto win the second match. Los Matadores then cheat to win the third, but don't go full heel yet. They sort of just shrug about it. Then they turn full-blown heel after the Dragons beat them again. This leads to a Mask vs. Mask Match which could actually make a PPV, if their work has been catching on.
* Jericho vs. Neville should be a lot of fun. I'd rather see Jericho vs. Cesaro, but Jericho is likely to make Neville look like a million bucks. It could be a good coming out party for NXT.
* John Cena & Dolph Ziggler vs. King Barrett & Kane seems random, but that's what I like about it. Cena & Ziggler will win, people will cheer, but it'll be fun to see what they put together.
* The Triple Threat for the Divas Title is a rehash, but I hope they get some time and get to tell a story. Hey, it might even be a good place for a title change. It seems that Paige is set for the long chase, but why not just have her pin Naomi and add a different dimension to things? It's not like people really care at the moment.
* I've got no clue why they are doing Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston, but it's certainly...interesting. I was actually thinking the other day that I can see them breaking up The New Day soon. They have been entertaining together, and it certainly got them all out of a rut (before putting them in there initially), but I think they might try and create three singles stars out of these guys soon. Kofi isn't going to win, although it would be hilarious if Seth Rollins cost him the match and then Kofi went around for the rest of the year, at least, talking about how he beat Brock Lesnar.
* Finn Balor's entrance will be epic. The match should be good, and I'm excited for the title change.
Mr. Nerfect
06-20-2015, 10:13 PM
I want to see Cesaro be given something to do as a babyface. Now that he's a face in singles competition, he'd probably be allowed to do the swing again and get over. We still haven't seen everything this guy can do. I'd honestly like to see him start something with The Miz -- who could antagonize Cesaro based on his personality or something. Just a thought.

If its Lesnar-Owens then its very likely Battleground's Lesnar-Rollins will be a toss away match meant to just boost the Network numbers since that's when the next report comes out.

According to the dirtsheets, WWE considering at least two options for Lesnar at Summerslam. Either Lesnar vs Rollins or Lesnar vs Owens.
If its Lesnar-Owens then its very likely Battleground's Lesnar-Rollins will be a toss away match meant to just boost the Network numbers since that's when the next report comes out.
Lesnar-Owens would be great imo. Give Owens another big win against Cena at Battleground, then have him go after the biggest guy to prove that he is the best.

I had a bunch of those old tiny figures when I was a kid. They came with a small ring and cage.
If I remember correctly, I had Faarooq, The Rock, Mankind, Chainsaw Charlie, The New Age Outlaws, The Headbangers, Steve Austin, Triple H, Goldust, Kane and I'm sure I had Ahmed Johnson too.

According to PWInsider.com, wrestling legend “The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel passed away earlier today at the age of 53.
The report notes Landel was in a car accident this weekend, returned home and was found unresponsive today.
Landel worked with WCW, Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, Smoky Mountain and other promotions. He was hired by WWE in 1995 but suffered a bad knee injury just days after being hired.
Lesnar-Owens would be great imo. Give Owens another big win against Cena at Battleground, then have him go after the biggest guy to prove that he is the best.
Not sure about this. Seems similar to the Punk/Ryback scenario; someone has to lose and neither man can afford it.
Unless they use Owens to write Lesnar off again...

I was thinking today that if they want to turn Seth Rollins face for a match against Triple H, they shouldn't rush that shit. You need to have Rollins prove enough that people buy him as a face. He should either scrape out a win against Brock Lesnar at Battleground (either by hook or by crook), or lose in honorable fashion. SummerSlam is then a Triple Treat between Lesnar, Rollins & Reigns. A proper one this time.
Rollins would actually win that match, possibly surprisingly everyone. Sheamus then cashes in Money in the Bank and walks out of SummerSlam WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Night of Champions is the rematch between the two, and again, you could go with either guy winning. Rollins winning the title might actually make sense if they want to establish him as a guy who can get the job done. Hell in a Cell is a rematch between the two, and there Triple H officially sides with Sheamus, screwing Rollins out of the title.
Triple H vs. Rollins could then happen at either Survivor Series or at a December live special (whether that be TLC or my dream return of Starrcade).

F4Wonline.com notes that both Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn were not at last night's WWE RAW in Indianapolis as they were working on Tough Enough in the Orlando area. While Triple H did not write last night's show, he was in charge and ran things.
For this Sunday's TNA Slammiversary XIII PPV -- the same event that as of now has no main event -- it appears that it will not have the originally scheduled Wolves vs. Dirty Heels tag team title match finals, originally scheduled to be the fifth match of the best-of-five series.
Wolves' member Davey Richards is booked for a show at Arena Mexico in Mexico City for the All Elite promotion Sunday where he & Volador Jr. are in the main event against Bobby Lashley & Rush. That also means Lashley would be out for Sunday's show as well.
*WWE United States champion John Cena & Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane & King Barrett.
*WWE NXT champion Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor
*Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston.
*Neville vs. Chris Jericho.
*New Day vs. TBA.
*WWE Divas champion Nikki Bella vs. Paige vs. Naomi.
*Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadors.
*Cesaro is also appearing.
Updated card for the July 4th Network special.
Monday's episode of RAW averaged 3.670 million viewers, this was down from the previous week's 4.113 million average.
The first hour of Raw averaged 3.594 million viewers. Hour two drew 3.606 million viewers. The final hour of the show averaged 3.812 million viewers.
RAW scored a 2.63 rating, down from a 2.83 rating last week.
One person who’s been notably absent on WWE television over the last several months has been former Money in the Bank winner and World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger. Apparently Swagger’s morale has been getting worse during his time off, and it’s getting so bad that he’s considering leaving WWE very soon if things don’t turn around for him.
Swagger hasn’t been involved in anything significant since his feud with Rusev ended last year. Every now and then WWE will bring Swagger back for a random one-on-one match with the “Bulgarian Brute” which Swagger will, of course, lose.
When WWE signed Swagger to one of their developmental territories back in 2006, their plan was to eventually have him be the new Kurt Angle. At that time, Angle had just left WWE and joined TNA. WWE felt a need to replace him, and Swagger was their man. Even though he had the amateur wrestling credentials to do so, he didn’t have the in-ring ability or personality that Angle had, which, unfortunately, made WWE hesitant to keep him in the main event scene after he won his first World Title in 2010 ...
It’s unlikely that Swagger will go to TNA given the current state of the company, and it’s extremely unlikely that he’ll end up going to Ring of Honor. A career in MMA may be the best possible move for Swagger.
There’s a chance that WWE will be able to convince Swagger to stay, but if Swagger is too hard-headed about it, it’s very likely that, because he’s not a top guy, WWE will just let him go.
In an update, Dave Meltzer mentioned on the latest episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that Kidd is having surgery on Wednesday. He would go on to say that the injury is just like Stone Cold Steve Austin's and Edge's neck injuries.
Kidd is expected to be out of action for the next fourteen months.
"Kevin actually reminds me of one of the older wrestlers of the late Seventies, some of those guys that didn't have the build, but they would scare you if you met them at a bar. What hooked me about him was that I was watching a match of his on NXT and I found myself disassociated with being in the moment, all of a sudden I started watching him and he made me believe again. I watched real close, and there were no holes in his boat – his punches, his kicks, everything he did looked like it was killing the guy, which it probably was. He caught me with my guard down and he made me a believer again, he hooked me. He's got that look, man; that demeanor and that swagger."

TNA is in such sad shape. And the thing is, it's not even getting sympathy for it. No one is tuning in for its dying days. I just hope that ROH manages to snap up the talent in TNA that would fit their product. The American Wolves, Austin Aries, Kurt Angle, Low Ki, Homicide, Kurt Angle and even Bobby Lashley in ROH would be really bad-ass. Maybe Destination America can follow Jim Cornette's suggestion and pour six months worth of resources into ROH and see how much traction it can gain?

I kind of wish that the WWE would just buy TNA and bring in some of their talents for a bit of an invasion angle. Some might have a few burnt bridges with the WWE, but many of them could still be stars. Gail Kim, for example, did that roll-out-of-the-ring thing in that Battle Royal, but I think Triple H could understand how frustrated she was with her direction. The idea of her turning up in NXT and immediately going after Sasha Banks is giving me a bit of a boner (not for sexual reasons).

In their debut vignettes, I felt Murdoch was kind of creepy. My first impression was that Cade (rest his soul) was a goof in a cowboy hat, while Murdoch was legitimately unsettling. Perhaps one of the best all around talents to come out of Harley's School.

According to the dirtsheets the GFW and TNA announcements likely are going to be that GFW is either buying or merging with TNA. TNA likely would cease to exist while GFW gets the talent boost and maybe the production/management boost. Dixie also probably won't be part of the post-merger since her and Jarrett have some bad blood (along with most of TNA with Dixie).
Possible spoilers for tonight's Impact show:
That Jeff Jarrett will appear on Impact tonight but the talent has not seen him though.
John Pollock @iamjohnpollock 28s29 seconds ago
I can officially confirm Jeff Jarrett will be on tonight's episode of Impact Wrestling

Would fit with the big surprise Jarrett was teasing about and TNA saying their upcoming announcement was going to be bad for them in a sense.

NWA launching online video service
The service will be called NWA Classics 24/7 and will launch on Saturday, July 4th. NWAClassics.com will launch next week.
It will have the entire Paul Boesch Houston Wrestling library with many of the matches complete with original commentary by Boesch himself. The matches span the late 1960's through 1986. The library was stored in an air conditioned unit, and the quality and clarity of the audio and color is said to be amazing. Some of these matches have not been seen in over 40 years.
The cost will be $8.99/mo which includes unlimited access to the library. A year's subscription will be reduced to $99.99 (basically 2 months free).
50 matches will be released in the first month with 30 new matches added monthly. NWA president Bruce Tharpe said they have enough vintage content to keep up that pace for years.
Low Ki announced today that he has decided to part ways with TNA and last night was his last night with the company where he had the three-way match with Tigre Uno and Grado.
Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio on Wednesday night that the Daniel Bryan injury is in fact concussion related and there doesn’t appear to be any timetable on a return. This past weekend the WWE also reported that Erick Rowan suffered an injury at the house show on Friday night in Saginaw, Michigan. Meltzer reports that it is a torn biceps and is expected to be miss 4-6 months of action.
Just to clarify everything, Bryan's problem is concussion related stemming from his match with Sheamus on the Smackdown tapings right after Mania. Many people in wrestling have known this for some time and we were told it as soon as he got sent home from the European tour. For whatever reason, at that point a bunch of denials were made because evidently WWE wanted that under wraps. The issue is career threatening at this point.
The interview segment with Jeff and Karen Jarrett was not listed in the rundown of the show and bumped out a segment involving Magnus and James Storm (which was taped during the day and put on the website and is actually the only match on Sunday with an angle going into it).
While details are still sketchy with everything regarding the Jeff Jarrett deal with TNA, it will include some form of TNA participation at the July 24th Global Force Wrestling TV tapings in Las Vegas, NV. Magnus is believed to be booked on that show and there may be others.
Brock Lesnar beating The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX is probably the most shocking and debated moment in wrestling since the Montreal Screwjob, and everyone is wondering what was behind that decision. Who knew what? Who planned what? And who was on board. We still don’t have a full confirmation on where The Undertaker’s head was at the time, but according to Jim Ross, we know where Brock Lesnar’s head was: He wanted to lose.
A correspondent from Wrestling Inc. was at “An Evening with Shawn Michaels” in the UK, noted by Jim Ross, and they had this to say about The Streak:
The Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak ending is discussed, and Michaels admits that he wasn’t a fan of the decision, and neither was JR. JR talked about Brock Lesnar not wanting to beat the streak and asking to lose the match, but the decision had been made.
Shawn talks about how he was suppose to be part of a team of former champions who went out to the ring to celebrate with Daniel Bryan over his title win at WrestleMania XXX, but HBK refused after the way the crowd reacted after Brock’s victory, so he left the Superdome early.
http://uproxx.com/prowrestling/2015/06/brock-lesnar-begged-not-to-break-the-undertakers-streak-at-wrestlemania-xxx/
ECW Press sent out an email stating that the book "The Iron Sheik: Listen Jabroni!" has been cancelled, though "WWE and ECW will continue to partner on more titles in the future, including an autobiography of Pat Patterson, set to release in June 2016."
Regarding rumors of Dolph Ziggler being interested in leaving WWE soon, his contract does expire in a few months and people close to him have said he's at least considering what decision to make regarding a future that does not include WWE, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. There's said to be interest in Ziggler from both Lucha Underground and New Japan Pro Wrestling, and TNA would likely be interested as well.
After a 20-year absence, pro wrestling returns to the Royal Albert Hall in London on 7/11 featuring the stars of AAA. A promotion called Lucha Future rented out what was London’s most famous wrestling arena in the 60s, with talent like Blue Demon Jr., La Parka, Psycho Clown, Villano IV, El Hijo del Fantasma, Pentagon Jr., Fenix, El Texano Jr., Drago and Sexy Star.
C.M. Punk was interviewed about the Chicago Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup and noted that, as a big fan, he tried to get the WWE in 2013 to send the team a replica championship belt like they do for other sports teams (it gets WWE mainstream pub) and they declined the idea saying that nobody watches hockey. Anyway, after he said that in a media interview, the WWE sent a belt to the Blackhawks for winning the Cup this year and then pushed that fact with a photo on Raw of both several members of the Blackhawks posing with the belt, as well as with a belt they sent to the Golden State Warriors, the NBA champions.

WWE updated the July 4th Network special card again.
This is coming just directly from me. I expect these talks to heat up publicly for the go-home show of this year's SummerSlam, scheduled August 17 in MIN. Lesnar will be getting a huge pop. We should have a confirmation, be it directly or indirectly, when WWE returns to MIN for the last Raw before Xmas, which is the last WWE event in MIN prior to WM32. This is an educated assumption on my part, as WWE's pattern in recent years is to have the location announced more than a year in advance.
Boston was never a candidate. Philly engaged in discussions regarding hosting a Mania there, but, it never got serious. Target for 35 is an east coast city though so they'll be encouraged to bid for that.
So reading between the lines, WM33 will be in Minnesota, then WM34 and WM35 go to two out of Philly, Atlanta, and Orlando.
From someone on the Observer boards with known ties/sources in the venue industry.
WWE has offered contracts to Pro Wrestling NOAH talents "The Mighty Don't Kneel" Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste after the duo impressed at the recent tryouts camp at the Performance Center in Orlando. The two are just waiting for visa paperwork to process and medical testing to be done. These deals usually take several weeks after decisions are made but Nicholls and Haste, who is suffering from a knee injury, should be signed soon.
It was reported in the latest installment of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that one WWE writer has frustration with the WWE’s creative department about how the company is constantly booking itself into corners and rarely give almost anyone consistent wins or positive momentum that they need to have upward mobility.
Another issue for Lucha Underground has been that many of their talents are frustrated with the company, according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Many talents have been asking about a second season for months and haven't received any word. When we spoke to King Cuerno last month, he confirmed the news to us.
Many of the talents don't want to book shows at a certain point on the off-chance that the second season is announced and they have to do those tapings.

Former TNA champion Bully Ray has been backstage at the Impact Wrestling tapings this week in Florida and is expected to make an official return to the company tonight. While Ray returned for a cameo as a special referee awhile back, I am told this is a full fledged return.
The twists and turns continue as it relates to Slammiversary and the return of The King of The Mountain Match. Last night we announced who will be competing and you heard from Bobby Roode, Matt Hardy, Eric Young, Drew Galloway and even Jeff Jarrett. Now we can announce that those competing Sunday will be competing for The BRAND New King of The Mountain Championship!
Sunday will be Magnus' last match with TNA. Nothing has been said publicly because of the PPV on Sunday and because he will be on Impact on Wednesday. But it will be announced at some point very soon that Nick Aldis will be with GFW
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, John Morrison will be working more dates with AAA. They plan to have him work a program with Rey Mysterio Jr.
As noted, Randy Orton was absent from Monday's episode of RAW and this past weekend WWE Live Events because he asked for some time off. Orton is not expected back until the July 6th episode of RAW, but when he does return he is expected to resume his feud with Sheamus.
Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the two would most likely face each other at the July 19th WWE Battleground event at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting Global Force Wrestling’s live event ‘debut’ in Jackson, Tennessee drew 375 fans, and the second show in Knoxville, Tennessee drew 500 fans.
The second show did well in merchandise sales but is slightly disappointing considering the local publicity, headed by former University of Tennessee basketball coach Donnie Tyndall, who acted as a heel manager for the night. Another somewhat minor reason being offered is that former manager and promoter Bert Prentice had run a “Jerry Lawler 40th Anniversary” show in Jackson, and that may have taken some fans away from GFW. The Lawler show drew 1,100 fans the previous weekend, and had bigger names on their card like Lawler, The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express, Bill Dundee, Tommy Dreamer, TNA star James Storm and Sabu.
It’s being said that although Jarrett was successful in setting the tour, it doesn’t look good for the future. The combination of the shows not drawing well, talent coming in to work for lower money and general unhappiness were some of the reasons cited. The report stated talent were disappointed in paying for their travel costs, and then had to fill out W-9 forms to receive checks at a later date. Talents were told they would get paid for wrestling and could keep their merch sales money.
On today's MLW Radio premium episode, the RUMOR that Court Bauer has heard going around is that Jeff Jarrett is buying a controlling interest in TNA, with Panda Energy possibly becoming minority shareholders (a role reversal). The story is that Jarrett met with Destination America last week and they told him that if he took over TNA and rebranded it as Global Force Wrestling, they'll keep it on the air and not cancel it in September. They don't like doing business with Dixie Carter. There is also speculation that Toby Keith is involved since Jarrett name dropped him in his promo.
There will be a two-hour edited version of Raw airing from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday night on the USA Network as a lead-in for Tough Enough. Clearly the rating for the first episode, barely one-third of what the first episode of the 2011 Steve Austin season did, caused this move. It is not confirmed if this is a one week thing or if it will become a regular thing for the remainder of the Tough Enough season, but historically USA has never wanted to air repeats of Raw in good time slots for fear of diluting the initial show rating.
Matt Osborne — better known as pro-wrestling star Doink the Clown in the mid-1990s — died June 28, 2013, at the age of 57 in his Plano home. The Collin County Medical Examiner ruled that an overdose of painkillers was to blame.
In a lawsuit filed in Dallas federal court Friday, his family points to another culprit: pro wrestling. Specifically, Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., the sole defendant named in the lawsuit filed by Michelle James on behalf of Doink the Clown‘s children, Matthew and Teagan Osborne.
The suit, echoing those filed in recent years by pro football players suffering from brain injuries caused by years’ worth of concussions, alleges that wrestling led to “traumatic brain injuries” that resulted in “depression and drug abuse, which ultimately resulted in his untimely death.” The lawsuit says Osborne wasn’t the only wrestler victimized by wrestling’s scripted violence, where phony beatings led to real injuries. It lists more than a dozen others, among them members of the Von Erich family ...
The suit, filed by “doctor-lawyer” Shezad Malik, who reps personal injury suits out of his Greenville Avenue and Southlake offices, doesn’t specify how much the family wants. Messages have been left for Malik. Other out-of-town attorneys are also listed in the lawsuit below.
WWE responded by implying these lawsuits against them are nothing more than a witch hunt by lawsuit happy lawyers looking for easy NFL-like payouts. http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2015/06/doink-the-clowns-family-sues-wwe-claiming-wrestling-and-head-injuries-led-to-2013-overdose.html/

Dolph Ziggler figures are nothing like the real deal because they don't sell.
:|
I love how they're faked peg... made to imply the whole section is chock full of unsold Zigglers in spite of the couple of visible Jerichos and other different packaging the photographer wasn't careful enough to stage over. Those are likely the only ones in that section, and all from a fresh shipment from a big box retailer.
It's nothing like that Transformers Bumblebee pic.

So, is he suddenly "an unmotivated sack of shit" like Chris Hero, or will people make excuses for him because it's fun to love Bo for some reason?

On today's MLW Radio premium episode, the RUMOR that Court Bauer has heard going around is that Jeff Jarrett is buying a controlling interest in TNA, with Panda Energy possibly becoming minority shareholders (a role reversal). The story is that Jarrett met with Destination America last week and they told him that if he took over TNA and rebranded it as Global Force Wrestling, they'll keep it on the air and not cancel it in September. They don't like doing business with Dixie Carter. There is also speculation that Toby Keith is involved since Jarrett name dropped him in his promo.
I wonder if this is actually the deal Jarrett was working on and not for just appearing for TNA. At this point in time for GFW the TV spot would actually be worth more to him then getting control of TNA

Brian Fritz of Sporting News reported on Twitter that James Storm is leaving TNA. Storm reportedly asked for his release and he will be gone Sunday's Slammiversary pay-per-view. We noted before that Magnus is also scheduled to leave TNA after tomorrow's event.
Aires also rumored to be leaving after this Sunday as well.
According to PWI, all three are likely going to be on a special "need only" case for future TNA tapings assuming TNA has actually work available later in the year. Those guys get to work elsewhere for a steady job while now treating TNA itself like an indie booking for the future.
Non-wrestlers wise, supposedly TNA gave an ultimatum to their production staff to basically stop complaining about the late checks or else they can just leave the company.

Supposedly TNA won't be able to pay off the May tapings till mid-July so going by that date, probably won't be until mid-September that those same people gets paid for the big set of June tapings. Maybe even longer since June has a lot more tapings done.

I'm one of the few actually rooting against all odds for TNA... but if that story is true, I kinda want them all to say "fuck you" and walk out just before the next show.
