In an attempt to go viral online WWE filmed John Cena’s last match on a Nintendo 3DS but in their own social media posted they misidentified it as a Nintendo DS (which doesn’t have a camera).

TNA is reportedly getting $30 million in rights fees from AMC for Impact – a total of $10 million a year for the next three years.

In this interview Hiroshi Tanahashi talks about his retirement match at Wrestle Kingdom 20: “I don’t want them to justify my retirement. I don’t want them to see me look older or slower, but to see a Tanahashi who can still go, and that everybody else is chasing right to the end.”
John “Earthquake” Tenta’s daughter Joanna talks about training for pro wrestling: “I feel like since I’ve started training, it has rounded me out. I feel like I’m healing parts of that 17-year-old after my dad died. It’s still the same Joanna. When I’m at the hospital, my whole role is caring for others and so there’s a level of sensitivity and care and attention that I have to provide. Here, I kind of let loose here. I get to be myself.”
