Do you know how much time (this will take)?’ This was my first WrestleMania, my mom was in the audience, I’m freaking out already.

"After all everything did Randy and he took him under his wing, and he wanted Randy to was the ring with him, wanted to it our speaker be him." He was constantly on the road with Vince. Randy was almost like a son, they were really close. And then we were on a TV take a day, and we have Word, Vince calling Randy without links and jumped up had the WCW. I had never seen broken Vince McMahon, he was put down. It hurt him big time and I don't think that he about that at all. I think this is the real problem with you to be honest. "I heard this all other things that I think garbage that it goes with Randy and relations daughters and all this port forwarding I don't think that is anywhere close to the truth."

- It is believed former wrestling star Lex Luger has signed with WWE as some kind of consultant or overseer of the WWE Wellness Policy, with mind to counseling. Presumably WWE wants some input from a former wrestler with experience of substance abuse.

- Press Release:
Kevin Nash appeared on The LAW Sunday night to promote the CWI ‘Brawl at the Bush 2' event happening next weekend in Brantford, Ontario (www.cwiwrestling.com). Nash spoke very openly on the show about Scott Hall and his public issues over the last number of months and below are some of the comments Nash made in regards to Hall’s health right now. Nash also mentioned in passing during the interview that he had received an email that Lex Luger is now running the WWE’s Wellness Policy. The entire edition of The LAW featuring Kevin Nash can be downloaded at http://www.thefightnetwork.com/news/10977:download-the-law-and-review-a-wai/ and airs Sunday nights at 11pm EST on Sirius 158.

“These people will say things like ‘you need to have an intervention’ or someone said ‘you need to take Scott fishing without alcohol’ and no one grasps the severity of what this situation is. This is someone that has been to rehab nine times and probably walked out three to four times. He’s been in and out of hospitals for the last year and a couple of times – in Providence (for a recent independent show) – what happened was Scott took a really bad fall in his house and hurt his hip really badly and of course the promoter said Hall got off the plane in a wheelchair blah, blah, blah. I talked to Scott and Scott said ‘I never miss a shot and I’m going to make this shot’ and I told him he sounded horrible and he said ‘yeah’. Somas are the worst thing for wrestlers and I think they’ve killed more wrestlers than anything. He took some of those and hadn’t taken those in a long time and had a really bad reaction…they put him up there for 72-hours and the thing is Scott has been through so many hospitals, so many psych wards, evaluations and so many rehab centers that Scott knows every catch phrase and he knows exactly what the psychologist wants to hear and we’re all workers – that’s what we are and in 72-hours Scott is gone.

He’s at a place right now where the peaks and valleys are so incredibly high and low and the last week he’s been at a level spot, his health is bad. I think he went in and saw some doctors and he’s not going to walk in and get a gold label of health and when you get news from doctors that your heart isn’t functioning so well, this isn’t functioning well and this isn’t functioning well and to get all that news all in one day he went into a semi bender.

I can’t make Scott Hall want to live, I can’t make Scott Hall want to get better, I can’t make Scott want to repair his relationship with his children, I can’t make any of those things happen and the only one who can is Scott. When and if he does I will be the happiest person on earth. He always knows no matter what, day or night, if he needs me and really needs me or needs anything or anything of me or for him I will be there in an hour and he knows that. I can’t be his therapist, I can’t be his wife, I can’t be his rehabilitation specialist but I can be his friend. I think he needs friends more than he needs people telling him what he has to do or not to do. Lately it’s like the ninth inning, two out, a full count and they’ve walked into the baseball game and sitting in their seat and telling us what’s been going on in the game – I’ve been doing this for 17-years with Scott, you don’t just jump into the game and tell me what he needs to do because you haven’t been here, you haven’t lived it, you haven’t done that and Dana (Hall) has. A lot of people think she’s a crack pot but people forget she has two children with the man, that’s real flesh and blood and Cassidy and Cody are great kids and they deserve better but at the same time Scott – people think Scott’s problem is he likes to get drunk and likes to take drugs and he’s an addict and he’s not – he has post traumatic stress and had several incredibly horrible incidents happen in his early youth going on to his adolescence and early adulthood and he has had things happen to him that he cannot get through.

When you are trying to numb a memory that’s when you have a problem and you’re trying to forget something – that’s a problem. He’s not out being a rock star, he’s making things in his mind go away because he cannot shut it off and does it for days at a time and then when he does think about it he realizes the problem is still there.”

- Police have mounted an investigation in to possible DUI after an eye witness claims they were with Shane Helms in a restaurant prior to his DUI and was “sure” Helms had been drinking.

Also according to TMZ:
The police report reveals how Helms went through a stop sign, lost control of the bike and drove straight through a metal chain link fence.

Unless receipts or CCTV are uncovered it’s unlikely he can be charged. There is no blood/alcohol evidence.

Jim Ross Blog: Hogan Back In WWE, Shane Helms' Accident, Christian
By Michael Bluth
May 8, 2011 - 2:07:23 PM WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog update, which you can read in its entirety over at JRsBarBQ.com. JR talked about a number of topics, including his recent visit to the Legends of the Ring fan convention in New Jersey.

Here are some highlights of what JR said about:

Hulk Hogan Back In WWE: "Do I think that Hulk Hogan will ever return to WWE? This is a classic, never say never answer IMO....BROTHER! Crazier things have happened BROTHER and one could theoretically see some sort of PR role for Hulk down the road. Who knows? Not something that I dwell on to be honest with you BROTHER."

Randy Orton Defeating Christian: "Christian and Randy Orton had a great, TV match on Smackdown but I don't buy into the 'tragedy' that some fans flooded us with here on our site due to Christian losing the World Title. It isn't as if the loss ended Christian's career and who's to say that 'Captain Charisma' won't regain the title at a later date? Those that truly understand the nature of the genre have a different mindset than those who are knee jerking themselves silly."

Shane Helms' Motorcycle Accident: "How's Hurricane Helms after his near tragic motorcycle accident? Helms and his girl friend were severely injured in a motor cycle accident last week and seemingly just dodged a fatal bullet. My late father would never let me own a motorcycle and I assume situations like this are the reasons why. I wish Gregory Helms and his lady friend only the best in healing and regaining their health. They are both lucky from what I hear to still be with us."

- Chris Sabin is currently out having knee surgery. He injured it the other week during a match with Anarquia on Impact.

- Shane Helms’ former girlfriend Velevt Sky is taking donations to help pay Shane Helms medical bills following his motorcycle accident last week. “Please come together with me and donate what you can for Shane, as he won’t be able to earn a living wrestling for a while,” Sky posted on Twitter.

For more information, visit SkySoHigh.net

- WWE are currently looking to get the Rock to appear at this coming Summerslam in August. WWE obviously have to work around his schedule.

- Shane Helms and his girlfriend were involved in a motorbike accident near their North Carolina home yesterday. Helms suffered a broken leg and ankle. Matt Hardy noted:

“Shane was in pretty bad shape…His face was damaged pretty badly. His leg was broken very badly in several places and he’ll probably have to have multiple surgeries.”

“His girlfriend was injured as well. Actually, that seemed like it was going to be a very, very serious situation. Fortunately, over the course of the evening, it got better. She’s kind of out of the woods, I think, as far as that goes, although she definitely has several broken bones and some major injuries. They’re both right now in the hospital recovering back in Raleigh, North Carolina.”

- The feeling right now is that the Undertaker has retired from regular competition and will only wrestle a few times a year as a special attraction. He is not expected to work again until next year’s Wrestlemania.

That being said he may end up retiring for good next year.

- Chris Jericho discussed his return to WWE with IGN.com

He said:
“I don’t want to go back and do the same thing and do the same character I was doing last time. You constantly have to reinvent yourself. It’s kind of a strange analogy but I think you’ll pick it up when I say it – I always consider myself to be the Madonna of wrestling. And what I mean by that is ‘constantly re-inventing yourself.’ Every album Madonna does, she morphs into new styles of music and new looks. And when you work for the WWE, you work 52 weeks out of the year and on TV every week. You can’t look the same or act the same every week. It gets boring. And I think that’s why I’ve had such longevity as a performer and was always the guy to watch because people wanted to see what I did next. I even did that on Dancing with the Stars. And you have to do that or else you become predictable. And that’s the worst thing you can become when you’re in show business.”

- This week’s episode of TNA Impact on Spike TV drew a 1.15cable rating.

- Up until now WWE have managed to keep quiet about an incident involving a horse at Wrestlemania. Original plans had Triple H entering the arena on a 2,000 Clydesdale horse, while Undertaker would be doing something with a casket.

Unfortunately during the rehearsal, the horse collapsed through the stage and crushed the casket.

It was touch and go, but the horse was eventually freed.

- Shane McMahon became a trending topic on Twitter after he was shown in the audience at the Masters golf tournament. Perhaps they were hoping for the Xtreme Golf League?

- Ashley Massaro no showed a big shoot interview with HighSpots at the K&S Wrestlefest in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

No reason has been given as of yet.

- From the Associated Press:
An Olympic gold medalist turned pro wrestler has pleaded guilty to reckless driving in North Dakota.

The Grand Forks Herald reports that under the terms of a plea agreement with prosecutors, Kurt Angle will pay a $475 fine and won’t serve jail time. A judge must agree.

The 42-year-old Coraopolis, Pa., resident was arrested March 25 after he was found in a vehicle in the median of Interstate 29 near Thompson. He initially was charged with actual physical control, meaning he was accused of being behind the wheel of a vehicle while drunk. He said in a Twitter post that he was not drunk but that his car had slid into snow during a storm.

- CM Punk Tweets about Tough Enough contestants:
Miss USA Rima Fakih: “So far this rima broad needs to take her padding and cover her weird face.”

Shane Douglas Worried For Jeff Hardy, Says Ric Flair Is Tarnishing His Legacy
By Daniel Pena
Mar 26, 2011 - 12:00:56 PM On episode #11 of the WNS Podcast for WrestlingNewsSource.com, Danny Ray, Jordan Landry and Tyler Abear interview former WWE, WCW and ECW Star "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. He opens the interview promoting his upcoming appearance for the TV Taping of The Death Match Tournament which he will be hosting LIVE Sat. April 2nd at NJN Studios 25 South Stockton Street - Trenton, NJ 08608! Here are some interview highlights:

On Ric Flair tarnishing his legacy:

During the interview Douglas revealed that he would have liked to have wrestled The Anderson's, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Ric Flair in their prime. He notes he always had something personal to prove with Flair and he never thought he was on the same level as him because he was truly iconic for his time but he said "as a man I am ten times the man he has ever been" when asked for his thoughts on Ric Flair tarnishing he legacy in TNA at the moment Douglas said "I think Ric Flair has been tarnishing his legacy since 1990" he added "he has done more to tarnish his career then anything I could have said or did, then anybody could have said or did."

On Vince McMahon being accountable:

Following on from discussions of Flair being still in the ring at his age Douglas notes that the wrestling business is unkind to older performers unlike football, baseball and basketball that have unions and player associations. He said "Vince McMahon should get pressed a little more about this question as opposed to whatever his daughter, son or wife is running for, he needs to be held accountable for the industry he has monopolized and controlled for over twenty years"

On Jeff Hardy's current situation:

When asked for his opinion on the current Jeff Hardy situation in TNA, Douglas said: "It is not for me to say publicly about his personal life but I will say this I am worried about him, I have seen far too many names walk the path he is walking and end up at the end of an obituary as opposed to the top of the pile" He adds that he is saddened that TNA Wrestling has not done anything about the situation and if they do not do it then nobody will and it will just lead to Hardy going down the wrong path "Objectionable at best, disgusting at worst that an entity like TNA would allow what appears to be by all accounts a train wreck and utilise it just because they can make some money of it, that to me is the real travesty and that to me is the real question people should be asking - Why aren't the powers at TNA holding him accountable?" He adds their might be something going on behind the scenes but he has yet to see any sign of it.

Douglas also pays tribute to Sir Oliver Humperdink, talks about his upcoming book, his relationship with the late Chris Candido and Bam Bam Bigelow, life after wrestling and MORE!

He opens the interview promoting his upcoming appearance for the TV Taping of The Death Match Tournament which he will be hosting LIVE Sat. April 2nd at NJN Studios 25 South Stockton Street - Trenton, NJ 08608! Here are some interview highlights:

On Ric Flair tarnishing his legacy:

During the interview Douglas revealed that he would have liked to have wrestled The Anderson's, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Ric Flair in their prime. He notes he always had something personal to prove with Flair and he never thought he was on the same level as him because he was truly iconic for his time but he said "as a man I am ten times the man he has ever been" when asked for his thoughts on Ric Flair tarnishing he legacy in TNA at the moment Douglas said "I think Ric Flair has been tarnishing his legacy since 1990" he added "he has done more to tarnish his career then anything I could have said or did, then anybody could have said or did."

On Vince McMahon being accountable:

Following on from discussions of Flair being still in the ring at his age Douglas notes that the wrestling business is unkind to older performers unlike football, baseball and basketball that have unions and player associations. He said "Vince McMahon should get pressed a little more about this question as opposed to whatever his daughter, son or wife is running for, he needs to be held accountable for the industry he has monopolized and controlled for over twenty years"

On Jeff Hardy's current situation:

When asked for his opinion on the current Jeff Hardy situation in TNA, Douglas said: "It is not for me to say publicly about his personal life but I will say this I am worried about him, I have seen far too many names walk the path he is walking and end up at the end of an obituary as opposed to the top of the pile" He adds that he is saddened that TNA Wrestling has not done anything about the situation and if they do not do it then nobody will and it will just lead to Hardy going down the wrong path "Objectionable at best, disgusting at worst that an entity like TNA would allow what appears to be by all accounts a train wreck and utilise it just because they can make some money of it, that to me is the real travesty and that to me is the real question people should be asking - Why aren't the powers at TNA holding him accountable?" He adds their might be something going on behind the scenes but he has yet to see any sign of it.

Douglas also pays tribute to Sir Oliver Humperdink, talks about his upcoming book, his relationship with the late Chris Candido and Bam Bam Bigelow, life after wrestling and MORE!
