Kurt Angle Injured, Hardcore Holly Writing Book, WWE Legend Reality Show, New WWE Trademarks
AppId is over the quota
- TNA’s Kurt Angle is working through a injured hamstring. Before his match at Bound For Glory the area was actually black with bruises, but he wrapped it up and soldiered on regardless.
- 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.
- WWE for two new trademarks “WWE Supercharge,” and “Afterburn,” which was one of WWE’s syndicated shows that now only airs in international markets. It’s not clear what Supercharge would be for.

Michael Cole Apologizes For Writing Homophobic Slur On Twitter
Michael Cole posted a homophobic slur this afternoon on his recently launched Twitter account as he called fellow WWE announcer Josh Mathews a 'faggot'. The tweet was in response to Mathews writing "Chicago!", the host city of this Monday's Raw taping.
The one word message was deleted approximately half an hour later and an apology was issued.
"I apologize to any and all who were offended by my tweet toward young Josh Mathews," Cole wrote. "It was obviously not meant the way it was taken."
He later added, "I was not ordered to apologize I said I am sorry because I am. Now can I get back to being a character again please?"
World Wrestling Entertainment recently came under fire from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), which took issue with the 'homophobic taunts' John Cena directed towards Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the February 28 episode of Monday Night Raw. Cena's unsavory verbiage prompted WWE to issue an apology and form a partnership with the organization on an anti-bullying campaign.
WWE subsequently released the following statement:
"WWE takes this issue very seriously, and has already spoken with our talent about these incidents. We are taking steps and working with GLAAD to ensure that our fans know that WWE is against bullying or discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. We strongly value our fans in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and apologize to them for these incidents."
It was also noted in GLAAD's press release that WWE has invited the organization to conduct training sessions for their staff of writers and editors.
