On the latest "Hall of Fame" podcast, Booker T talked about the accents he was doing when he was in TNA.  Booker received some criticism at the time for phoning it in while he was with them. "It was just something that I was trying my best to entertain myself in TNA," Booker said. "When I got to TNA, I really had high hopes to really, really be able to capture some moments in that company and after about two weeks, I realized none of that was gonna happen, so I just started acting a fool.  I really did. I really started acting a fool. I'm actually ashamed of myself for some of the stuff I did in TNA. I really am because I knew it wasn't going anywhere and I lost my zeal for really going out and performing the way I think I always had before that." "I lost my motivation. I had a two year contract and I lost my motivation.  I've been watching Last Dance. I'm at episode nine, and to watch Michael Jordan's drive, he was like a tyran...

It looks like fans could see Drew McIntyre back on WWE television by the end of this month ahead of its next PLE, Money in the Bank. McIntyre hasn’t been seen since WrestleMania 39, where he worked a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Title.   Coming out of the show, it was reported that McIntyre is not happy with the creative direction of his character, and both sides are far apart on terms for a new deal, as his existing contract expires later this year/early 2024, depending on whether WWE will add time to his deal to make up for the time he's been out with an injury.  The previous update was that WWE creative was holding up his return. PWinsider Elite reported today there has been a push within WWE creative to have him back in storyline mix by Money in the Bank weekend, which happens on July 1 due to him being one of WWE’s biggest European stars.  There were meetings last week regarding pitches for McIntyre. The report added that the big crux in talk...

When Roman Reigns got COVID-19 in January 2022, ahead of Day 1, WWE came up with the idea to unify the WWE Championship and Universal Title with Reigns beating Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 38.  WWE did consider having the titles split up last year by WrestleMania 39, but ended up being nixed. WWE had plans made after Mania to split the title, with Raw getting its own title, which ended up leading to the World Heavyweight title being brought back.   It was announced on WWE Friday Night SmackDown that the company will unify the Women's Tag Team Titles and NXT Women's Tag Titles. In two weeks on SmackDown, NXT champions Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre will battle main roster champions Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey.   On Friday’s SmackDown, Raw Women’s Champion Asuka was given a new ‘Women’s Title’ that looks like Reigns’ new title belt, but with a white strap. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that the name was changed to clean things up due t...

It was actually before that because I think the local Krispy Kreme opened up at six. So Steve thought, f**k it man. I'll get up and he bought like $60 worth of doughnuts for the crew."   Nash continued, "Steve drove every mile of that whole show. If you watched it, he drives this Winnebago, this big ass trailer. He says the next thing you know, the guy in the Escalade, I think it’s an Escalade, it's some kind of SUV, they're driving next to Steve and the lady producer said, 'Unroll the window.  He wants to hand you some doughnuts.' Steve's like I am. You don't f**k around in a car. Put your seat belt on. This is adult time. This isn...
