Saturday's news is HERE. In case you missed the show last night be sure to check out our UFC 132 Live PPV Recap with some amazing knockouts & finishes plus a big title fight war! With that cheap plug out of the way here's Sunday's latest news.

Randy Orton is campaigning for Arn Anderson to get into the WWE Hall of Fame: "If Arn Anderson isn't in the HOF next year I'll go on strike. Well maybe not go on strike, but damn it, he's earned it. Anyone else agree? He has tutored me thru out my career and speaking of the punt, his idea 100%"

Here are the bonuses for the UFC 132 PPV last night: Tito Ortiz got $75,000 for Submission of the Night, Carlos Condit got $75,000 for Knockout of the Night, and Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber each got $75,000 for Fight of the Night. (MMAJ)

For those who heard there was a debacle at the TNA house show in Brooklyn involving Ric Flair this weekend, here's what we know so far: Flair was THERE for the house show, but claims he was never told he'd be making an appearance in front of the crowd, even though both Don West and Jeremy Borash mentioned it to the live crowd. (WO)

Many in attendance at TNA's Brooklyn show were upset that Flair didn't appear. He did come to Absury Park, NJ the next night for last night's TNA house show and made an appearance. In fact here are the results: Eric Young x OJ x Amazing Red d. British Invasion, Mickie James d. Angelina Love, AJ Styles d. Jeff Jarrett, Flair cut a promo for Asbury Park, Bully Ray d. Devon in a Bound For Glory match, Crimson d. RVD in a Bound For Glory match, Kurt Angle d. Mr. Anderson in a non-title match. (PWI)

For those interested, the results of our CM Punk: Work or Shoot? poll are now available.

Lucha libre stars Nitro and Sangre Azteca are in France right now doing a two week wrestling training session and tour. (PWI)

Diva-Dirt.com interviewed Angela Fong, b/k/a Savannah in her time with WWE. Here's what she had to say about her release.

It was heartbreaking. I didn't expect it at all that's why I think it was so surprising. Sometimes some of the people on the roster, you see it coming or you're not happy, or something's there that you kind of expect it. I had no idea... literally, no idea.

It was very sad. Three years doesn't sound like a long time compared to some other people in the company who've been there for 10 years. But being a girl in your 20s, spending three years moving away from your hometown, immersing in a completely different world, it's a lot, especially when you fall in love with it. That's when it's the hardest. Sometimes now I wish I didn't like it as much as I do because it would've been a lot easier to be like 'Alright, next thing'. And it wasn't like that. I was really sad for a while and had no idea what to do with myself for a couple of months.

Speaking of former WWE stars, Chavo Guerrero has been announced for WWC's Aniversario shows in Puerto Rico on July 15th and 16th. The first night he teams with Orlando Colon to challenge for the WWC World Tag Titles, the next night he goes one-on-one with Primo Colon. (PWI)

Luke Robinson talks about losing Tough Enough in this interview.

WWE returns to The Pit at the University Of New Mexico in Albuquerque on September 25th. (WO) No pre-sale code or on-sale date are available.

More lucha news - Mortiz & Semental are making the jump from CMLL to AAA and had a dark match at this weekend's TV taping in Tizayuca. (WO)

Here are some WWE house show results from Melbourne on July 2nd: Rey Mysterio beat CM Punk, Kelly Kelly & Beth Phoenix beat The Bellas, Zack Ryder beat Primo Colon, Evan Bourne beat Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler beat Kofi Kingston in a US Title match, Otunga & McGillicutty beat Santino & Kozlov in a Tag Title match, Alex Riley beat Miz in a street fight and John Cena beat R-Truth for the WWE Title. (PWI)

Sean Waltman has a new blog up with some thoughts on Zack Ryder.

I think it's fair of me to say that Ryder isn't the most athletically gifted guy on the roster. His physique is average, but his work is solid. The thing about Ryder, that stands out to me, is his ambition & the fact that he has taken the initiative to get his character over (with no help from creative, as far as I know) through his youtube series "Z-True Long Island Story". I haven't watched every episode, but I took the time to watch several of them. After watching some of his episodes, I came away feeling like I know the guy. He comes off as a guy who is a super mark for wrestling & will do whatever it takes to make it. He seems like he is a big fan of himself & yet still a mark for the bigger names in WWE, such as the segments with Cena making brief cameos & Zack marking out over it. I think there is a great opportunity for WWE to capitalize on this.

Woo woo woo, you KNOW it.

Hulk Hogan uses TwitVid to talk about the Linda Hogan situation.

According to Jim Ross Twitter, the WWE tour of Australia has been HUGELY profitable so far, with a $1.1 million gate in both Sydney and Melbourne.

Until WWE gets around to pulling it, you can watch this clip of John Cena and Vince McMahon's confrontation on tomorrow's Raw.
