AppId is over the quota

- Former WWE supestar Bob “Hardcore” Holly is currently working on a book entitled The Hardcore Truth.”
“My book will be different because it’s about my life pre-WWE days and my perspective of the wrestling business. I will talk about things no one has dared to talk about,” Holly told SLAM! Wrestling. “It will be written in a very unique style thanks to Ross Williams who I’ve chosen to write my story. I believe this book will be an interesting and entertaining read. You will definitely want to read this book not only for what I am going to share but the exceptional brilliant style of writing Ross uses when putting words on paper.”
- The latest idea for the WWE Network is a Legends reality show. WWE sent out the following possible show titles:
WWE House of Fame
WWE Old Timer Acres
WWE Retired and Rowdy Roommates
WWE Old School Yard
WWE Legends House
The show would feature legends living under one roof.

Tomko Has Severe Drug Problem, Lesnar One More Match? New HBK Book, Lucha Legend At Smackdown
AppId is over the quota
- More details have now emerged on the arrest of former WWE/TNA star Tomko.
He reportedly has a severe addiction to prescription pills and stole 210 oxycodone tablets from a pharmacy in St Augustine Florida, when the pharmacist refused to give them to him. Police were called after he demanded a spoon from staff at a nearby Chili’s restaurant and proceeded to the bathroom, where he was later found with needle marks and blood running down his arm.
Presumably he was melting the pills on the spoon to make a form of heroin.
Tomko’s bail is set at $7,500 and is yet to be paid.
- From the ESPN website:
Wrestler turned mixed martial artist Brock Lesnar says in an interview with ESPN.com that he expects to wrestle one more match for WWE.
“I think I will. I think under the right circumstances I will,” he responds to Jon Robinson’s query regarding one final WWE match. “I think if Vince McMahon and I were able to sit down at the same dinner table and break some bread that we could come up with some kind of game plan. At the end of the day, I’m an ultimate fighter. That’s who I am and that’s who I’ll always be. I was an entertainer but at the end of the day, I’m still as real as it gets. I think a lot of things have to fall in the right places for something like that to happen.”
Lesnar is asked who he would like to wrestle of talent he never had a match with; he responds “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
“Ironically it’s probably the guy that walked out on me. The guy that took his ball and went home. A guy that I was supposed to face and I think that he was just plain downright scared to get in the ring with me because he was one of those guys that was on top and saw a huge threat in Brock Lesnar at the time. That’s “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. I worked with everybody and anybody that was anybody there and if I came back, I think the guy that I would come back to fight is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.”
Rumors surfaced last year about Lesnar possibly facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania. He comments on how the match would have been like.
“I was a true wrestler. I was a Division I national champion. I came into the business wanting one thing and one thing only, and that was to be the champion, and I wasn’t going to let anybody stand in my way. I think there was one guy that had a problem with that and that was Undertaker. If I were to have gotten in the ring with him I would have ripped his arm off and f—— beat him with it.”
- WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels will soon be releasing an eBook called “Diary of a Heartbreak Kid”, featuring a compilation of journal entries.
- Lucha Libre legend Mil Mascaras is being advertised for this Sunday’s Smackdown tapings in Mexico City. This is to help draw in the Hispanic audience.

Falls of Savage & McMahon explained by the legend of WWE
By Michael Bluth
On 24 May of 2011-12: 03: 47 PM one of biggest rivals "The Macho Man" Randy Savage in the 80's, George "the Animal" Steele, was broken open with Doug Mortman and Dave LaGreca, which airs Monday and Wednesday at 2-4 PM ET on Sirius and XM 207 92.
"That has been said many different ways and it has been said many different things that are not necessarily true."
"I think that what happened with Randy, when his career was winding down with the WWF, Vince McMahon only loved Randy," he continued. "After everything Randy had done and took him under his wing, and wanted Randy then ring with for him, he wanted as our spokesman." He was traveling all the time with Vince. Randy was almost like a son, they were really adjusted. "And, then, one day, we were in a meeting of TV, and have the word Randy, without calling Vince, had left and jumped to WCW."
"I had never seen Vince McMahon broken before, he was crushed." It hurts big and I don't think that it never got that. I think that it is the real problem to be honest with you. All this I heard other things that I think it is garbage when it comes to Randy and relations with daughters and all those things... "I don't think that it is any close to the truth."

WWE legend explains how Randy Savage decided to walk from wrestling
Dave Meltzer of Yahoo! Sports has an article on extraordinary career Randy Savage and with behind-the-scenes details about how he came to an end.
Savage appeared briefly in the TNA Wrestling in late 2004 feud with Jeff Jarrett. On the December pay-per-view, the turning point, was scheduled to partner with Jeff Hardy and A.J. styles in a tag team match against the Kings of Wrestling, Jarrett, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Savage, who had not fought in more than four years, the coincidence flakes, minutes before going to live the payment.
WWE Hall of Fame Dusty Rhodes, who was head of TNA booker at the time, recalled the tumultuous ordeal behind the scenes on a quote to the article.
"The last words that he told me, five minutes before the PPV, it was, ' I can not do it." "Don't want that the people I find so, see" "remembered Rhodes."Jerry [Jarrett, co-owner of the company TNA] called [the event producer] Keith Mitchell at me and said, ' change the main event. I told him, ' Randy, only to return home. Okay with me.' "That's the last words said to me".
To explain the absence of the legend wrestling of the match, angle was hastily written so that the Kings of Wrestling attack him Savage and stuff in the trunk of a limousine, which go outside the arena parking lot. Savage, styles and Hardy played a work party for themselves. Savage appeared in the final analysis, although briefly.
After several minutes of Hardy and styles of combat to the Kings of Wrestling, Savage, wearing a long black shirt to hide his diminished physical, he returned to impact! The area and he walked to the ring. It was on the label by Hardy moments later and pinned Jarrett after a blow to the jaw.
Aggregate Savage of the days of promotion later in an impact! recording due to a disagreement on the end of his party at the next scheduled pay-per-view, the Final resolution. He sought to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship of Jeff Jarrett at the event, but it was denied. He never fought again.
Rhodes, who lived at 20 minutes from Savage, never again saw him next turning point. He compared savage of the last five years of his life to solitary lifestyle of Howard Hughes.
"I could see it in their eyes... He didn't want to do it," said Rhodes. "Obviously, it was financially established." All of us at that time, style [Ric], Hogan, Andre, I, like many of us away. "One."
