If you're posting news, post your source! This thread is for posting news items and only news items, so that things like CM Punk walking out doesn't get buried under 300 reaction posts so someone doesn't know what's going on by the time we get to "CM Punk is a pizzeria" jokes. If you want to discuss some news, copy & paste it into the appropriate thread (if it isn't already being discussed there) and start talking about it. This thread is not for discussion! MMA sources, stolen shamelessly from the UFC thread: quote:Credible news sources: Credible wrestling sources: quote:http://www.f4wonline.com TMZ can probably be trusted for the gossip side of things, but for anything actually pertaining to fighting/wrestling, it doesn't seem to be that reliable. If you have sources to add to this list, PM me. It's important to keep in mind that you're using the most reliable sources possible. A lot of wrestling sites like to copy & paste reports from Meltzer, et al, or even make misleading statements about what those sources are reporting. One recent example was that Meltzer reported that HHH was actively trying to keep Punk from coming back. What Meltzer actually said was that it sounds like HHH doesn't want him to come back but didn't plan on fighting it if it happened.

Here's the latest from Meltzer in today's update on the KENTA situation with WWE:quote:KENTA claimed he wasn't in Florida looking for a contract or a tryout. He said he went to have a WWE workout and executives were there watching. He said they have guys with monster physiques and guys who are superior athletes to him and it's not just about being good at wrestling. He said he was glad he came. KENTA will make an announcement about his future on Monday at the NOAH show at Korakuen Hall.

Per http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/96-wwe/35264-cena-injured-misses-show-today, Cena's was pulled from tonight's house show in Kansas City. He was poked in the eye last night legit by Orton, but it's not clear that that's the cause for being pulled from the show.

Daily Observer Update posted:--The results of the 10/19 Jessica Eye vs. Sarah Kaufman fight, that Eye won, was changed to a no contest sue to Eye failing a drug test. However, she wasn't suspended. She was fined $1,875 and as put on probation. That's the first time I've heard of probation for a drug test failure, but the show was in Houston and that means the Texas commission was in charge. That means she can fight on the 2/22 UFC show, where she faces Alexis Davis. The drug she failed for hasn't been released publicly. Eye is protesting the decision.

Meltzer reports that outside of Reigns needing stitches, no one was injured on Raw last night, which is pretty amazing when you consider the bump Cody Rhodes took. The WWE has posted a list of all the PPVs that will be available on the Network. This includes 1999's Over the Edge, where Owen Hart died.

If you somehow missed out on the Thiago Silva story, he is facing charges of aggravated assault and battery as well as resisting arrest without violence. This stems from an incident on February 7 where he allegedly held an automatic weapon in his wife's mouth (the two are in a separation). His contract with UFC was terminated as well. In the year 2014, Betty White is hosting Raw tonight. That's an actual thing that is happening. From yesterday's Meltzer update: "Apparently a fan pulled a knife on heel manager Thomas Simpson after a tag team match at the (Trans South Wrestling) show in Union, SC."

Despite doing next to nothing with her, Raw ratings were up thanks to Betty White's appearance. It had 4.32 million viewers. The UFC is eliminating submission and KO bonuses; they will be replaced by two "Performance of the Night" bonuses. Antonio Cesaro is now just "Cesaro." Current The Ultimate Fighter: Nations competitor Tyler Manawora will not be offered a contract at the end of the season after posting a racist image to his Instagram account 18 months ago.

Wrestling Observer posted:--Mysterio’s contract is the next major one to expire, in about two months or so. He has one of the highest downsides, and is also one of the biggest merchandise sellers. He’s got all the knee issues and it’s clear from his return that WWE has no plans to feature him. Usually at this point WWE would be aggressively trying to get him to sign a new deal and that hasn’t really been the case. When there was talk of him not coming back some time ago, some of the company’s business partners in Latin America freaked out because he’s the most important guy it is believed in those markets. But it’s long gone from the days when Smackdown was a top ten rated show in the Hispanic demo when he was there, and dropped greatly when he wasn’t. With Mark Burnett’s AAA project in the U.S., it would figure to be a lock that if he doesn’t sign, he’d be the featured guy in that project.

HAHAHAHA they already updated the website: http://www.lolwrestling.com/how-long-has-jtg-been-employed/ Not too happy about Drew or Bourne, but it became clear they weren't going to be doing anything with them. Yoshi's is probably for the best, he wasn't happy where he was. And somehow Eva Marie's job is still safe. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Jun 12, 2014 |
