WWE NEWS

- In response to anti-smoking campaigners WWE made the following announcement regarding R-Truth lighting up on the UK tour:

“The negative effect smoking has on one’s health and physical performance was a part of a storyline on last night’s Monday Night Raw. Negative depictions of tobacco use on television are not unusual and can be seen on other TV-PG shows.”

- Kurt Angle noted on Twitter:
“Separated my shoulder at Lockdown. Much pain. May have lost but I broke Jarrett’s ribs. All of a sudden My pain is gone. Lol. Heading to TV”

- ROH put out the following remembrance for Larry Sweeney:

“Sweet and Sour” Larry Sweeney was a one of a kind performer who riled up the fans and touched all those he became close with in his personal life. Sweeney’s compelling charisma and unique personality will never be forgotten by ROH fans and especially those friends that he was closest to.

During his time in ROH, Sweeney managed the likes of Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Davey Richards, and many more gifted wrestlers that he took to the top. Sweeney was a highlight of every ROH event that he participated in, with his strong passion and intelligence for professional wrestling showing through. Sweeney captured the attention of every fan that saw him perform in and out of the ring.

Sweeney is deeply missed by everyone in Ring of Honor and we want to pay tribute to the man with a match that we know he would enjoy with not only two of Sweeney’s favorite current wrestlers, but two very close friends.

Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana will face the “Insane Savant” Delirious at “ROH Revolution: Canada” on May 7th when ROH returns to the Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto!

Delirious has not been seen in an ROH ring since August 2010 when he suffered a very serious injury at the hands of the All Night Express. One of the most distinctive competitors in the history of ROH, Delirious and his high energy style will return in Toronto after a long 9 month absence to pay tribute to one of his close friends.

Colt Cabana has repeatedly said that he wants straight-up, hold-for-hold competition without having to worry about a dirty move or shady trick. Cabana was very excited after receiving the news of his Toronto contest and he is certain it will be a great match representing honor and the memory of an overwhelmingly talented man.

“Larry Sweeney was a showman, an entertainer and a professional wrestler,” stated Cabana. “I can’t wait to dedicate this exhibition of those three things in a match versus another pro who feels the same way. I’m sure it will be an emotional match, but we all know Larry would’ve wanted everyone to smile, laugh and enjoy every second of the match. No doubt about it.”

It will undoubtedly be a fun and exciting match to honor a brother that we have all lost. “ROH Revolution: Canada” will be a roller coaster of emotions that you won’t want to miss.

- Former wrestling star Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, was arrested recently in Tampa, Florida for driving without a license and for operating an unregistered vehicle. He was released on a $750 bond.

Jim is of course the father of WWE’s Natalya.

More on Jim Neidhart Denying His Arrest and Steve Austin's Big Tough Enough Announcement
By Marc Middleton
Apr 20, 2011 - 7:26:26 PM - As noted before, Jim Neidhart's representatives are saying he was not arrested by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office on April 18th in Florida.

A Florida law enforcement officer says by definition of the state's legal system, Neidhart was indeed arrested. Neidhart's charge, Driving While License Suspended or Revoked, is a first-degree misdemeanor in Florida and the police officer has the right to use his discretion to arrest on site or issue a notice to appear. Neidhart was given a notice to appear at the time of the incident but did not comply.

Booking information on Neidhart's listing with the Hillsborough County Sheriff indicates that a warrant was issued for his arrest on a failure to appear. Neidhart turned himself in before sheriff's could arrest him. Neidhart was booked, fingerprinted and photographed before securing his court appearance with a $750 cash bond. $500 of that was for the DWLSR charge and $250 of that was for operating an unregistered vehicle.

- It appears there will be another double elimination on WWE Tough Enough because there is currently 10 contestants left on the show and only six taped episodes. The "Final Two" contestants will appear on the live Tough Enough finale.

As noted earlier today, the USA Network is teasing that Steve Austin has a "shocking announcement" on next week's show, so that may have something to do with it.
