Shotzi Blackheart

Shotzi Blackheart has the perfect response to anyone who mocks her for going back to independent wrestling: “Made more money in 2 days than what WWE paid me in a week.”

Via social media Brian Cage revealed he got knee surgery and was back in the gym four days later: “4 days post knee replacement (8 weeks post quad tendon repair) and I’m already back in the gym. Love me, hate me, or somewhere in-between, you can’t deny I’m a fucking machine! I’ve been dealing with excessive knee pain for years and have been working through it with the intention of going under the knife after All In. With the unfortunate set back of tearing my quad, I figured F it, let’s just get em both done. Not an easy or fun choice, but I’m gonna come back ripping heads off. Especially if this is me right now after surgery. Shout out to Ricochet for filming and getting our set in.”

Here’s the latest version of the card for Raw on Netflix tonight. (WWE)

  • WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Jey Uso (c) vs. GUNTHER

  • John Cena to appear
  • Seth Rollins to appear
  • Nikki Bella returns

In a conversation with Maven on YouTube, Mick Foley revealed his experience with fire extinguishers in matches: “Fire extinguishers are a funny thing. Usually, you’re getting sprayed with it, not hit with it. But the thing about the CO2 extinguishers is that it makes it really hard to breathe. Especially if you’ve been through a match and you’re gassing out already. Panic sets in, because you’re used to being able to draw those breaths, or if you understand, ‘Okay, maybe I’m not in the condition I wish I was.’ Then you throw this on top of it, I’m gonna go with ‘it hurts,’ because I never had an experience where it did not.”

Speaking of YouTube, Bret Hart has a lot to say about John Laurinaitis and Vince McMahon: “Everything that happened with John Laurinaitis and the things they were doing with that poor girl, shame on all of them. That’s just terrible. I’ve had all my ups and downs with Vince McMahon, and in a lot of ways, I have a lot of respect for him, but at the same time, I find what happened there inexcusable and there’s no place for that. I think Vince McMahon became a predator and used wrestling as his backdrop for all of his evil. This tells me that too much money can turn you into a bad person.”
