Story By: Marc Middleton
- WWE.com has officially confirmed Ric Flair's departure from the company. Here is the statement they released:

Flair and WWE Part Ways
Written: August 3, 2008

WWE and Hall of Famer Ric Flair have mutually agreed to contractually part ways. After an extraordinary career Ric has chosen to pursue opportunities outside of WWE

A real shame. I was looking forward to Flair being the mouthpiece for some young wrestler.

Like Mr. Fuji or 'Classy' Freddie Blassie or Capt. Lou Albano.

I used to watch the 'old school' stuff when I was little.

Mick Foley Headed To TNA After WWE Contract Expires
Date Added: August 13, 2008
Story By: Cornelius Wilson
According to the U.K. Sun, Mick Foley will be heading to TNA after his contract with WWE expires. The article includes a statement from Foley's friend, "Mick's body cannot handle a full time schedule, even in TNA. But he's hell bent on doing everything he can to further his legacy and put them on the map. So Mick's plan is to wrestle select dates, like Sting currently does."

Apparently, Mick got real tired of Vince yelling "You Suck!" into his headphones.

WWE RAW Star Future In Jeopardy
Date Added: August 13, 2008
Story By: Cornelius Wilson
Hardcore Holly's WWE career is reported to be over soon. The 45-year-old wrestler has not been used in months and it would take someone such as the Undertaker to support him with management to keep him around. A downside to Holly remaining with the company is that the younger wrestlers have complained that he works too stiff. He was planned to work an angle with Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes where he was looking for revenge. A promo was shot with Holly that never aired because of his bad performance. Management felt that he would work stiff with DiBiase and Rhodes to make them look bad, so the program was cancelled.

Holly has been with the WWE for about 20 years and they are just NOW realizing that he works stiff???

Pro Wrestling Pioneer Dies at 81

Pro wrestling pioneer Walter "Killer" Kowalski died early Saturday from the effects of a massive heart attack. He was 81.

Kowalski died at Whidden Hospital in Everett, 12 days after his family decided to take him off life support. He had been in critical condition in the hospital since his heart attack on Aug. 8, wife Theresa Kowalski said.
"I was right beside him. I put my hand on his chest, I felt his breathing slow down and his heart beat stop," she said. "The doctor said he was brain dead ... I was waiting, hoping somebody could do something.
"We've been together over 10, but we've been married for two years. He was a bachelor all his life. He was a wonderful man, never drank, never smoked and he was a vegetarian for almost 60 years."
An obituary posted at Weir Mac Cuish Family Funeral Home's Web site said Kowalski began his professional career in 1947 as "Tarzan" Kowalski. His hulking 6-foot-7, 275 pound frame and a brutal wrestling style soon earned him a nickname "Killer."
Kowalski began to be known as a villain after hurting Yukon Eric during a match in Montreal in 1954.
He visited his opponent in hospital after the match to check up on him and "the two men began laughing at how silly Eric's bandages looked. The reporter incorrectly printed that Killer was laughing at his victim and soon after, Killer quickly became wrestling's most renowned 'heel' or 'villain,"' according to the Web site.
Kowalski later became famous for various moves, including a stomach vise grip called the "Killer Clutch."

RIP "Killer"

This is the guy that trained HHH

I just picked up the Mr. Perfect DVD. Some excellect matches. The best was a hour draw vs. AWA Heavyweight Champion Nick Bockwinkle - This match marked the turning point in Curt's/Mr. Perfect's career. Having recently been following the AWA show on ESPN Classic, it is amazing how quickly Curt went from just some guy to being the man that later became Mr. Perfect.

I'm currently watching the "Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen" dvd. I had forgotten just how good and entertaining they were.

I've only recently started watching TNA wrestling every week, since it airs on Saturday mornings. Anyway, I just discovered that AJ Styles is from Gainesville, GA. How cool is that? I live about 10 min. away from there and I was born there. I guess I have a new favorite wrestler now

AJ Styles is fantastic! He's been with TNA since the beginning. I'm surprised that the WWE hasn't made him an offer yet. TNA has really evolved into a great organization. They have a good mix of veteren and young wrestlers now.

WWE Superstar Quits
Date Added: November 05, 2008
Story By: Marc Middleton
Source: Wrestling Observer

- Super Crazy informed WWE he was quitting the company at the tapings this past week. This came out of nowhere and he said he was just unhappy with the way WWE was using him and he had been promised many pushes before that never came to anything.

John Laurinaitis didn't take it that well, telling him that "Do you know how many wrestlers in Mexico want to be here?" Crazy was telling friends that even in his position, he was happy with the money but was unhappy with the job he was doing. Crazy could collect for a few months on a non-compete clause without working, but he's willing to waive that period because he just wants to wrestle to the best of his ability. Crazy is willing to waive that non-compete and sign that he will not go to TNA because that's not his goal either.

Wow.....he really IS crazy......

- WWE announced the releases of ECW Superstar Elijah Burke and SmackDown Superstar Kenny Dykstra this afternoon.

Burke had not been used in recent months and had been rumored to be returning under a new gimmick at one point. Dykstra was considered the best of the Spirit Squad crew during their run on RAW, but was saddled with a reputation for a bad attitude, which hindered him politically within the company.

Not too shocking.....

Full Story: Scott Hall Drunk At TNA PPV, Kicked Out
Date Added: November 10, 2008
Story By: Zafar J
Scott Hall, accompanied by the Insane Clown Posse, briefly sat ringside at last night's Turning Point pay-per-view in Orlando, Florida. They appeared in the front row during the Rhino vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir match. Tenay only referred to them as "familiar faces" and the camera generally avoided them. All attention was turned to Hall as he settled in the front row with ICP, with the crowd chanting "Razor" and throwing up Wolfpac signs while Rhino was making his comeback in the match. Bashir taunted Hall from ringside, as did Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley in the following match. The group left by the time of the Christian Cage vs. Booker T match.

Following their appearance, Hall and ICP went backstage. Hall was soon asked to leave as he was drunk. Also, Hall did not have company approval to be at ringside during that match, although officials were aware he was in the building before he went to ringside. Video footage of a drunken Hall backstage arguing with TNA represenatives at last night's Turning Point PPV has made its' way onto Youtube. Check out that clip, which is four minutes and 37 seconds in length, by clicking here.

Regarding the story on Hall getting involved in the Nash/Joe match match, he was never scheduled to be a part of the match in any way at any point. He was seen hanging out backstage earlier in the day and some assumed he was going to be involved in the match.

What?....Scott Hall was drunk?....What a shocker!!!.....
