Speaking to the Bella Twins, Naomi talks about her future in wrestling: “I always wanted kids young. I always wanted a lot. Your girl is getting up there. I’m 37. Time. I’ve got to figure this out like yesterday. I’m asking myself and struggling with that question. I’m definitely leaning towards it, but I’ve had health issues. I only have one ovary. Even if I wanted to continue wrestling longer, my biological clock, I can’t. We got a lot to figure out. I have to step away and take care of my health and myself. If we’re going to have kids, I have to start that process very soon. With that on my mind and on my plate, I think that makes my time left here even more special and valuable to me. That’s why I’m so passionate about what I’m doing because I think this might be it.”

MLW: “Major League Wrestling today announced Místico vs. Templario vs. Ikuro Kwon at MLW Azteca Lucha, live on YouTube from a sold out Cicero Stadium in Chicago on Saturday, May 10. The event is sold out. Fans around the world can stream Azteca Lucha free starting at 10:00 p.m. ET on YouTube.com/MajorLeagueWrestling. The match was originally slated as a one-on-one showdown between Místico and Templario – a clash set in motion at SuperFight 6, when Templario shocked the world by pinning Místico in tag team action, marking the lucha legend’s first loss since debuting in MLW. It was an unthinkable moment that sent shockwaves through the sport. Originally scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, the rematch was postponed after Místico suffered an injury. Now medically cleared, Místico is ready for redemption – but the road back to the top just got far more dangerous.”
According to Kevin Nash, The Rock has an excuse for not being at WrestleMania: “Rock couldn’t show up because Rock was filming a fucking Scorsese film. The last time Rock fucking showed up, right before Hercules, he tore his fucking bone off his pelvis and cost production $10 million. No, Rock can say whatever he wants, ‘I didn’t want to fuck up Cena’s moment,’ he didn’t have the option. Scorsese was not going to let him. Fuck off. No. I think they’re shooting in Hawaii. I might be wrong, but put it this way, if they’re not shooting, they’re definitely in pre. Whoever is ensuring that note ain’t gonna let Rock bounce around the ring.” Yeah but nobody ASKED HIM to bounce around the ring Kevin, we just wanted him to SHOW UP for the angle HE WROTE.

While he doesn’t 100% rule out wrestling again, Bryan Danielson would like to do jiu-jitsu again without being in pain: “So, like, in working with people, that sort of thing, like, one of my goals is to be able to go and train jiu-jitsu. Not compete, but just be able to go do jiu-jitsu and not get hurt. One of the guys that I’m working with says, ‘so yeah, I think that’s possible in like a year.’ I was like, ‘okay, so what does that mean for wrestling?’ But I also don’t want to say like, ‘Hey, I’m done wrestling’ because I’ve said a couple of times, ‘Oh, I mean, it’s 95% sure that I won’t be competing at Forbidden Door.’ One of the guys just said, ‘Well, that still leaves 5%.’ I’m like, yeah. That’s if something horrible happens and Tony calls me like, hey, Bryan, we need somebody to fill in. I was like, ‘okay, I guess I can do it, right?; Never say never. But other than that,it’s like I’m now at the stage of my life. I did 25 years of wrestling, and I loved it, and I’m satisfied, and it feels like enough right now.”
