The offical wrestling thread..News, spoilers and results.

^^That's not much of a shocker. I knew all along that taker was going to win.
Edge is gonna have to figure out what he's going to do, cause he's got no where to run and no where to hide.

And besides I love this taker/edge feud, it keeps me guessing what's gonna happen next.

Actually, if Regal is coming back to wrestling full-time, then I take back what I said about his win being pointless. It would actually be a great way for him to come back, and no one can actually say the man doesn't deserve a push without looking dumb.

WWE creative team member Michael Hayes has been suspended from the company for 60 days following an incident that took place in Orlando during Wrestlemania weekend. Hayes, the head writer of the SmackDown brand, allegedly used racist language towards SmackDown star Mark Henry.
The incident took place at a party that was held either Friday or Saturday night. Hayes had been drinking when he approached Mark Henry. Hayes told Henry, "I'm more of a n----- than you are." Henry took offense to the comment. After a physical altercation between the two, Henry reported the issue to either Vince or Stephanie McMahon.
At first, WWE tried to keep the suspension quiet. People who inquired were told that Hayes on vacation. However, when word got out about the incident with Henry, it was revealed that Hayes is suspended.

Updates on the Recent WWE Firings, Shane's Wife and Foley Posted by Marc Middleton on 2008/4/29 14:48:03 (775 reads) - Regarding recent WWE developmental firings, FCW head Dusty Rhodes was told to make calls on who wasn't ready for national WWE television. After hearing from Rhodes, WWE dropped Chris Gray, Tommy Taylor and Ryan Bishop from their developmental contracts. Taylor & Gray were signed last spring when there was talk of doing a WWE developmental in the U.K., but those talks have since died down. Also, Taylor & Gray are both cruiserweights, and with no cruiserweight division, there isn't much interest in smaller wrestlers at the moment, unless one really stands out. Bishop is a former football player that was invited to a New York Giants training camp last spring. People were high on him at first due to his size and athletic ability, but he had absolutely no prior wrestling experience and things didn't work out.- Shane McMahon's wife Marissa is the producer of the movie Anamorphs, hence the plugs on WWE television last week. Mick Foley only had a small part in the film, which was filmed in one day. His character is apparently similar to the Dude Love persona, but he doesn't think so. "I'm not sure I channeled any of my WWE personas; I just tried to think of what a slightly sleazy pawn shop owner might look and act like." he told WWE.com. "If I hadn’t been a WWE Superstar, I would've been a sleazy pawn shop owner." The movie's premiere was held on 4/16 in Manhattan. All of the McMahons were there. In an incredibly limited release (it was shown in one theatre in New York), it did $3,000 its opening weekend. However, they plan on marketing it as a PPV release.
 
- WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, his new girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel and Brooke Hogan with her new boyfriend Jonathan were all spotted by the pool the other day at a hotel in Los Angeles. The paparazzi managed to snap some very odd shots of Hulk rubbing baby oil into the crotch of his daughter Brooke, and then giving her and Jonathan a creep stare in the pool. These are another must see from the Hogan family.

all I got say is WTF!?!
 
I think what's more disturbing than the photos is the paparazzi taking photos of people while they're on vacation, and implying that there's something going on between a father and daughter in their "report."

World Wrestling Entertainment's Santino Marella was arrested at 2:57 AM this morning on charges of Driving Under the Influence after being stopped at 6301 Westshore Boulevard in Tampa, Florida. Marella is currently being held on $500 bond. I'm sure we'll have more on this later today.
MUG SHOT:
 
Now the real question is who set our hero up for this. I'll bet it was William Regal.

Or those jealous, no good, a-stupid divas.

We still love you, Santino.
 
To follow the news that Santino Marella was arrested for Driving Under the Influence in Tampa, Florida:-- Santino Marella's DUI arrest has been picked up by WWE.com's Industry News section.-- Several readers have informed me that the location where Santino was pulled over is known for strip clubs. -- Santino's mugshot picture is online here.-- Marella was pulled over early this morning after an evening out drinking with ECW star Kevin Thorn and several WWE developmental talents. He failed several roadside tests and was booked for DUI. Later, his blood alcohol tested 0.061. He was below the legal limit (0.08), but since he was tested several hours after being taken into custody, he is still subject to prosecution. (Source: PWInsider.com)-- He was released from custody at 11:35 am today after posting $500 bond.

Hulk & Linda Divorce Update: Hulk Won't Reveal His Net WorthSubmitted by Michael Bluth on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at 12:40 AM ESTSource: TMZ.comThere's a new chapter in the ongoing Hogan divorce saga. According to celebrity news source TMZ, Hulk is not cooperating with Linda's attempts to find out exactly how much money he's worth. Linda has filed an "order compelling discovery" with Florida's Pinellas County Judicial court demanding the Hulkster spill the beans. The legal documents can be seen here.It's rather urgent that Linda receive this information soon or she will miss a deadline that will cause her to lose an $840,000 deposit on a Vegas condo.
