Goldberg

On his latest podcast Bill Goldberg says he’s hurt himself multiple times training to have “one last match” in WWE: “I need to show up and be me and I’ve tapped into me a little bit more as of late and my training, with all injuries and with my age, it makes it extremely difficult to get prepared without going overboard. I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But, I pulled back and it’s really tough to have the mentality I do but to have the body that I do now, with the mileage on it and then go into the Muay Thai gym and hit the pads and not go crazy and then blow (your) shoulder out and blow your bicep out and pull your hamstring from throwing a high kick. There’s a huge balance and I’ve been in the ring a couple times. I’m gonna get in the ring again today and it’s just tough, man. It is tough. Me doing that right there, that was the first day that I felt really good.”

The last NXT did a 0.15 18-49 and 684,000 viewers. The week before was 0.14 and 650,000 viewers. (PI)

Naitch just can’t help himself can he? Ric Flair tried to dunk on Dutch Mantell after Dutch and James Romero did a video about his toxic social media posts, then told his haters to go eff themselves. *SIGH* Richard, come on. It’s not being a “hater” to tell you that you are acting disgracefully and embarrassing yourself with your tweets. Your idea of “jokes” aren’t funny and you calling other people “attention seeking” is the best example of the pot calling the kettle black history has seen. Quit ruining your legacy by being a dick to everyone and for the sake of legibility Stop Capitalizing Every Word For No Good Reason.

To make a long story short Roxanne Perez says everything is going according to plan.

Sting and Jon Moxley have both been announced for Starrcast Texas.
