Chris Benoit's Father Campaigning Against Linda McMahon
2010-10-26 01:20:00
In an emotional press conference, the father of the late World Wrestling Entertainment performer Chris Benoit Monday urged Connecticut voters to reject the company's former CEO, Republican Linda McMahon, when they head to the polls in a week to select a U.S. senator. "The people of the state want someone who cares not for the people who work for her to go and represent them in Washington?" Mike Benoit asked. "The only reason that woman wants to go to Washington is to protect the dollars WWE makes ¦ and be damned with the rest."...More? source: ctpost.com Linda McMahon Calls Michael Benoit's Feelings "Sad & Bitter"

Rumor Mill - New WWE Ring Announcer
2009-09-24 02:27:00
Lauren Mayhew, who is a singer and an actress, did the ring announcing at last night's Smackdown tapings. Although Lillian Garcia does not do ring announcing on Smackdown, it's being said that having Mayhew do the announcing last night was a way to groom her to be a possible replacement for Lillian on Raw. Since Mayhew is a singer, and WWE was reportedly looking for an announcer who could sing, it seems most likely that Mayhew will replace Garcia.

ECW Results: Another Knock on Christian's Door
2009-09-23 12:05:00
Captain Charisma could not be stopped by The Zack Attack. With plenty of Peeps cheering him on in the BOK Center, Christian successfully defended the ECW Championship against Zack Ryder. Despite Ryder’s strong efforts, he could not woo the ECW Title away from the Captain. After a devastating Killswitch, Christian pinned the cocky, young Superstar for the win on ECW on Syfy.Christian’s ECW Championship celebration was quickly soured when William Regal interrupted to say the night’s title defense was a farce. “Sooner or later I’m going to be the No. 1 contender,� The British Brawler said. “So it’s only a matter of time before I become the ECW…� Christian promptly silenced Regal, attacking him with the ECW Championship, sending a message that he’s not about to back down.

There's been another setback for the Ultimate Warrior in his legal battle against WWE. Last week, it became clear that Warrior's lawsuit against WWE for defamation related to the "Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" DVD would be thrown out because WWE lawyers were able to demonstrate that Warrior publicly defamed WWE first. On Monday, Judge Roslyn O. Silver ruled that Warrior will now will have to pay $18,967.46 for the legal costs and expenses WWE had to pay to defending themselves against Warrior's lawsuit.source: pwinsider.com

Linda McMahon Acknolwledges Not Voting in Several Elections
2009-09-22 20:47:00
"I talk all the time about how important it is for people to vote. And it is. Yet, I haven't always been the best example myself. I missed a general election vote in ‘06. I missed several local elections. I didn't vote in the ’08 presidential primary after John McCain was the presumptive nominee. I regret it, I apologize, and I don't make any excuses for it. I think it’s important that leaders be willing to step up and own their mistakes when they make them. That’s how I plan to run my campaign, and it’s how I intend to represent Connecticut in the U.S. Senate."source: linda2010.com

DX, Legacy, Orton, Cena & Lillian After Raw
2009-09-22 19:58:00
Legacy came out. Then along with Randy Orton they cornered John Cena. A beat down ensued until DX made the save. Legacy bailed and then Orton took all three finishers like he's been doing on other recent shows. DX and Cena remained in the ring. They did the "Are you ready" thing several times, but kept stopping before actually going through the whole thing. At first Shawn wasn't doing something right, then they got Cena in on the action but he wasn't loose enough and wasn't "crouching" properly. Once the three of them were finally ready, HHH stopped it yet again and said, "Something still doesn't feel right...we're still missing something....on yeah it's Lillian."Lillian Garcia came into the ring. HHH told her to assume the position, which she did happily. Cena crouched behind her. He made some faces, people laughed, and they all finally did the "Let's get ready to suck it" chant. She also did the "Two words for you" bit as well. She then climbed to the 2nd rope for a loud o...

BG James Comments on his TNA Release
2009-09-22 19:37:00
"Yeah. To be very honest, I was caught very much by surprise. They were using me as a road agent for the house shows, TV, and pay-per-views, but what surprised me the most was the house shows. I was really the only agent they had going out on the road for all the house shows they were doing every weekend. So that kind of caught me by surprise because I didn't think they would just call me one day and say, 'You're done. Thanks for all your work.' I kind of thought that maybe if I got let go it would be, you know, they would give me some time or something. So I was caught be surprise for sure."...More?source: worldwrestlinginsanity.com

Raw Results: Entertainer Tonight

Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase will face Shawn Michaels & Triple H again at WWE Hell in a Cell inside Satan’s Structure. Before the teams square off in two weeks, though, The Legacy made quite a statement. Triple H faced Rhodes on Raw as their respective partners looked on. The match devolved, though, when Rhodes & DiBiase slammed Michaels outside of the ring before attacking Triple H with a chair inside the ring. When the duo left The Game immobile in the center of the ring, they submitted one more piece of evidence that they could indeed be the future of WWE.After 10 years with WWE, the beautiful Lilian Garcia thanked the WWE Universe and informed everyone that Monday was her final night greeting fans, belting out the national anthem and announcing the start of matches.

District Court Throws Out Wrestlers Lawsuit Against WWE... Again
2009-09-19 22:24:00
Back in February, a federal court in Connecticut dismissed a lawsuit brought by three former wrestlers who contended, among other things, that they were improperly classified as independent contractors.The case garnered national attention for a variety of reasons, including the disclosure of the wrestlers contracts. (If you'd like to see the details on the contract, you can view them here.)But after that, two of the three wrestlers (Scott Levy and Christopher Klucsarits) filed a motion to amend the judgment or otherwise set it aside to allow them an replead (or refile) their claims. Notably, one of the wrestlers --- Michael Sanders -- did not join in this motion.On July 31, 2009, the District Court denied the wrestlers' motions, finding that even if it allowed the amendments at this late date, such amendments would be "futile". In other words, even if the court allowed the amendment, the wrestlers would STILL lose on the merits. You can download the decision here. The wrestlers ...
