Machine Gun Kelly's "Home" will be the theme song for Tribute to the Troops this year. (WWE) Tomorrow you can see The Rock get his Hollywood star live: "The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that actor Dwayne Johnson will be honored with the 2,624th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, December 13th, at 11:30 a.m. PST. The star will be dedicated in the category of Motion Pictures at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard in front of Hollywood & Highland. 'Everyone loves Dwayne Johnson! We predict that his star will be a very popular one to visit on our famous walk. Not only does Dwayne have a great personality and talent, but he also does a great amount of philanthropic work which is part of the criteria for earning an immortal spot on the Walk of Fame. We envision scores of photos being taken at his star by his fans,' stated Ana Martinez, Producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce which administers the popular star ceremonies encourages people who are unable to attend and fans around the world to watch the event exclusively on www.walkoffame.com ." Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho got into a fight again at this New Japan press conference. And here's Jericho talking about his most embarrassing moment. Based on last night's Raw there will be a No. 1 contenders match next week between Cedric Alexander and Drew Gulak, with the winner going on to face Enzo Amore for the Cruiserweight Title. In this interview Roman Reigns talks about coming down with the mumps: "I was infected with the mumps. Like, I wasn't in any serious pain or anything. You have your obvious side effects and gland swelling and stuff like that. The only real pain I felt was like in my jaw and in my ears, but the main thing was the isolation. It's such a rare virus that, hell, half the nurses didn't even know what the mumps were because it's so old school. Exactly, you get your vaccines at one and everything. I think when we were younger they didn't do boosters at a certain age, so now they do it, and, regardless, my immune system wasn't up to the task! I caught it and I was out for about three weeks. And the crazy part is that I was stuck in the hospital or in the hotel and to be in the hotel sucked, man." The official bullet points for SmackDown Live are below. * Shinsuke Nakamura clashes with Kevin Owens this Tuesday on SmackDown Live Three matches have been specifically advertised for SmackDown. (WWE) * The Riott Squad vs. Tamina & Carmella & Lana Bad news for DJZ (Zema Ion) - he has three ruptured discs in his neck so he's going to be out of action for a few months. Misc. tweets and social media posts are below. Does #SisterAbigail have history with #WOKEN @MATTHARDYBRAND? #TheGreatWar has BEGUN! #RAW @WWEBrayWyatt http://pic.twitter.com/oeOKrDcha3 - WWE (@WWE) December 12, 2017 Word on the street is that WWE may open an academy in India to develop and recruit wrestling talent. Sheamus and Noam Dar face off on the latest UUDD video. The return of brain cancer for Matt Cappotelli turns out to have been the 100% worst case scenario. He has a grade four blastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer, and only 90% of it could be surgically removed because the other 10% was too close to his brain stem. He wears a special brain cap 18 hours a day to send pulses to his brain to hopefully stop the remaining cancer cells from dividing and multiplying. The surgery and onset of the cancer has left him with symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease. On behalf of AngryMarks our best to Matt in his continued fight, and he has a GoFundMe page if you'd like to contribute in any way. Ric Flair is booked for House of Glory this Saturday. Also a vintage Flair robe he autographed sold for $27,000. From WWE: "The Shield battle Samoa Joe, Cesaro and Sheamus at Naval Base San Diego for WWE Tribute to the Troops! The rivalry between The Shield and Samoa Joe, Cesaro & Sheamus reaches a boiling point in front of the men and women of the United States military, as the respective trios will throw down in Six-Man Tag Team action at the 15th annual WWE Tribute to the Troops (this Thursday on USA Network)." House of Hardcore notes: HOH will crown its first TV champion with a tournament starting January 26, 2018 at an event at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. The main event will be NWA Champion Nick Aldis & Joey Mercury (w/ Shane Douglas) vs. Tommy Dreamer and a mystery partner, with a mystery man in their corner. Other talent advertised for the event include Super Crazy, Brian Cage, Willie Mack, Matt Riddle, Kevin Kross, Swoggle, Lisa Marie Varon, Billy Gunn, Crazy Steve, Eddie Kingston and The Luchasaurus. Rob Begley suffered a spiral fracture of his tibia and a fracture of his fibula working for Northeast Wrestling a few weeks ago after a dive from the top rope to the floor. HOH will run a show on the night before Wrestlemania 34 in New Orleans as part of WrestleCon. Finally HOH's latest TV episode debuts tomorrow on Twitch. (PWI) New NWA Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis (Magnus) has something to say. 3:00 PM ET. Henry Godwin talks about how he helped push Triple H up the cards: "I think what helped me and him was we knew each other a little bit in WCW. When we both ended up at the same time up there up North everything just sort of fell together. We both thought it was a good idea to do the prissy English boy who has never been on a farm and me who is not washing my clothes all the time and carrying that damn slop-bucket around all the time. What more can you ask for? It is bound to happen that he is going to get muddied or he is going to get slop on him eventually and he did both quite often." The proposed "All In" show with Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks to seat 10,000 people will likely be in either L.A. or Chicago. Eight WWE related videos including one with Tye Dillinger and three from The Rock are below. There's a new WWE promo going around offering three months of the Network for $0.99. (WWE) Here Al Snow talks about Mr. Fuji: "That (feeding Snow's dog "Pepper" to him on TV) was inspired by Mr. Fuji, who had in real life apparently did that to a neighbor's dog he didn't like. Art imitates life." Rockstar Spud will debut on 205 Live next week. (PWI) Raw this week did Raw 533,000 social media interactions (354,000 on Facebook and 179,000 on Twitter) down from 615,000 interactions (369,000 Facebook and 245,000 Twitter) last week. (wInc) 4:00 PM ET. Jimmy Jacobs on Vince McMahon and 205 Live: "Vince was really excited about 205 Live when it first started, but I really think in a lot of ways, but they were in a really tough position, right off the bat. First off, being on at 10 p.m., after 2 hours of SmackDown without any stars, so it is really hard to create stars from non-stars. You need somebody that people know. I need to know that Noam Dar has at least met Chris Jericho, they are in completely different universes. Other thing is that there's really no demand for the show. Look, this isn't 20 years ago when WCW at the top of the card was Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Big Show, or Lex Luger; you had Jericho, Rey Mysterio; I mean, the top of the WWE card those guys can go. Seth Rollins does the 205 Live style better than the 205 Live guys do, so where is the demand? Now you see smaller guys, lesser stars, doing stuff not really as good as those on the main roster. John Cena is even doing Springboard Diamond Cutters; that style has really permeated on the main roster. It's a really tough position they are in. I give those guys a lot of credit from the talents to the writers. It was and is a really tough job." The Raw audience was 2.876 million for hour one, 2.608 million for hour two, and 2.570 million for hour three. That's the lowest numbers since June. (SBD) 6:00 PM ET. Jim Ross has a one man show Saturday in Boston, Great Khali says he has no interest in politics and here's a new interview with Cesaro and Sheamus. comments powered by Disqus |
