It had been previously reported that former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Cain Velasquez had been arrested on charges of attempted murder. He pleaded not guilty to these charges in Santa Clara (California) County earlier today. From ESPN: Velasquez, 40, is being charged with attempted murder and 10 other gun-related charges stemming from an incident where he allegedly chased down a man, Harry Goularte — who is being charged with molesting a young relative of Velasquez — and shooting a gun into Goularte’s vehicle, hitting Goularte’s stepfather, Paul Bender. Velasquez has been in jail since Feb. 28 and has been denied bail on three separate occasions. A pre-trial hearing in the case is scheduled for Sept. 26, where Geragos is expecting to be able to get witnesses to testify, the attorney said. If the case is not dismissed at that point, he said, it would then go to trial, which could begin before the end of the year. Geragos said the prosecution will not be calling Goula..
According to multiple reports, WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch, also known as Sunny, caused a car crash last month in which a 75-year-old man died. Police suspect that she was intoxicated during the incident. The Ormand Police Department has released new information which claims that Sytch was driving a 2012 Mercedes when she crashed into the rear of a 2013 Kia Sorento that had been stopped at a stoplight. The Kia then crashed into the back of a 2011 GMC Yukon that was also stopped at the stoplight. Two witnesses stated that Sytch had been “driving at a high rate of speed” before hitting the Kia. The driver was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died from injuries suffered in the wreck. The officers say Sytch was also transported to the same hospital with unknown injuries. Police say they believed Sytch was under the influence of alcohol when the crash occurred. Authorities took a blood sample after the accident, but the results are still pending.

It’s a different kind of promo. Talking is one of the most import important parts of a wrestler’s presentation, as the fans need a reason to care about who they are seeing. Working in the ring is important, but you need to make the fans care, which is why promos can be so memorable. A good talker can mean a lot in wrestling, and now one of the more famous ones got to talk in another way. Wrestling personality Johnny Fairplay and promoter Ron Gossett appeared on the Judge Steve Harvey Show, with Fairplay attempting to college $5,000 in unpaid appearance fees. New WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner appeared as a surprise witness for Gossett, saying he had been paid in full for working on one of Gossett’s shows. Steiner also threatened to beat up Fairplay and offered to wrestle him for the money. Fairplay wound up winning the case and was awarded the fee. This is the second time wrestlers have appeared on the show, after JJ Dillon and Kevin Sullivan were on the show earlier this week. Ok, ..
That takes care of things. Wrestling fans watch their favorite, and sometimes not so favorite, stars on TV on a regular basis. It can be easy to forget that we are watching real people get in the ring every so often. These people have real life situations going on outside of the ring and no one of the most serious issues has been wrapped up in a bit of a surprise. According to PWInsider.com, former WWE Champion Alberto El Patron’s sexual assault charges were dismissed on Friday and the case is officially closed. A witness was said to be missing, meaning that El Patron is cleared of all liability in the situation. The trial was scheduled to have begun on Monday. El Patron has been regularly wrestling for a variety of promotions in Mexico over the last few months. This is a bit of a touchy situation so we’ll try something else. Here is a different Albert in action: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click ..

The champ vs. The face. WWE has posted a new video to their YouTube channel in which they show the full match between John Cena and AJ Styles for the WWE Championship from the 2017 Royal Rumble. You can see the match in its entirety below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: It’s official! At Royal Rumble 2017, John Cena did the impossible: He tied Ric Flair’s hallowed record of 16 World Title wins after defeating AJ Styles in an emotional match witnessed by 52,020 frenzied fans inside the Alamodome. For years, it seemed inconceivable that any Superstar could approach Flair’s record, let alone match it. Year after year, however, The Champ continued his hard work and determination, relentless in his drive to elevate himself. And though he captured the United States Championship just 14 months ago, he hadn’t won a World Title since June 29, 2014. That perseverance, however, would pay hefty dividends at Royal Rumble in his pursuit of the WWE Championship. Editor..

You can see the match in ins entirety below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: It was a grueling battle for the powerhouse who drew No. 22. Entering before a sold-out crowd that had already witnessed Ricardo Rodriguez rolling to the ring in an ’85 Datsun, Kofi Kingston walking on his hands to avoid elimination and Michael Cole jumping over the top rope to escape the wrath of Kharma, The Celtic Warrior immediately made his presence felt by launching Kingston out of the ring. From there, the Rumble became a demolition derby of battered bodies and unpredictable arrivals. Booker T, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Michael Cole all left the broadcast booth at one point to try their luck in the bout, but were quickly sent back t..
You have to start somewhere. Back in 2002, the wrestling world was in a very different place. WWE was now the lone major promotion in the North American wrestling scene, but some new challengers were approaching. One of these promotions was NWA: TNA, which eventually evolved into Impact Wrestling. There’s a lot of history to be seen there, and some of it is being rolled out of the vault. And here’s what it starts. Witness the first ever NWA: TNA event, which almost has to be seen to be believed: [This post contains video, click to play] Impact Wrestling has posted the full version of its first ever show, which originally aired on June 19, 2002 in Huntsville, Alabama.

The event includes a match called Gauntlet For The Gold, a twenty man gauntlet match to crown a new NWA World Champion. There are several stars of today and yesterday included, such as AJ St..

The neighbors rushed to Magee and found him incoherent. “To me, it was attempted murder. If we wouldn’t have come out here I don’t know if he would be alive. To look at his face if you saw his face right now and saw what they were doing to him, he’s really lucky to be alive,” the neighbor said. Update: Two of the six attackers have been..

<p>Ryback opens today’s show by revealing whether he misses being on the road with WWE full time. He says that sometimes he misses the live events and the guys who he developed relationships with, but he doesn’t miss television tapings and all the ‘shit’ that comes along with being on the road 300 days a year.</p><p>He says that last week’s show made some headlines due to his recollection of a backstage scenario featuring <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/tyler-breeze" title="Tyler Breeze">Tyler Breeze</a></strong>. Some people questioned the legitimacy of Ryback’s claims, but he says that he was there in person when <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/vince-mcmahon" title="Vince McMahon">Vince McMahon</a></strong> witnessed Breeze leaving an arena early, and Breeze’s stock within WWE immediately plummeted after that.</p><p></p><p>Nonetheless, he likes what WWE is doing with Breezango right now as they continue to produce entertaining segments every week. He’s still confused by the fact that Tyler Breeze is wearing a dress every week now, but he assumes that someone backstage at WWE gets their kicks from seeing Breeze in a dress.</p><p>Ryback says he <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/loved/" title="loved">loved</a></strong> the Rap Battle on Smackdown Live last week between The Usos and The New Day. He says that these types of segments are what have been missing from WWE programming lately, and the ‘R rating’ line in particular proves that anything can happen on WWE programming, similar to how fans felt about the product during the attitude era.</p>
<p>The witness who saw the altercation between <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/paige" title="Paige">Paige</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/alberto-del-rio" title="Alberto Del Rio">Alberto Del Rio</a></strong> recent <a href="https://heavy.com/sports/2017/07/alberto-del-rio-paige-domestic-abuse-incident-witness-uncle-cocaine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">spoke</a> to Heavy.com regarding the situation. Here are a few notes from what actually transpired:</p><p>– The witness admits to discreetly attempting to take pictures of Paige as she walked and talked on the phone until she was noticed. Paige walked back into the restaurant and one of the four people at her table walked out, presumably to see if she was still there.</p><p>– Paige came storming back out of the restaurant “crying and yelling.” Del Rio, visibly “soaked” in liquid, chased after her as she fled onto the nearby tram system. Page told Del Rio, ‘You’re such an abusive husband, I hate you. You’ve ruined my life, you’ve ruined my career’” Del Rio and Paige continued their argument for a <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/short/" title="short">short</a></strong> while on the tram car as Del Rio said, “Check her bag, she’s got all the coke in it, it’s all hers.” This is when the witness started recording the audio.</p><p>– “<em>Let’s do it, get the cops,”</em> Del Rio can be heard saying in the video. Paige responds by saying, <em>“Just stay out of my life, leave me the f**k alone, I’m trying to get away from you.”</em> This is when Del Rio started claiming that Paige assaulted him.</p><p>– The witness believed the argument between the pair started because Del Rio said inflammatory comments about one of Paige’s family members.</p><p><em>“From what I gather, he said something like, ‘I hope your f***ing uncle dies tomorrow, and grabs her wrist because he was mad she was on the phone for so long,”</em> said the witness. <em>“They wanted to leave, so he got mad and grabbed her wrist. She got upset and threw water on him and she ran out.”</em></p><p>After the audio stopped recording, the witness said that she stayed along with Paige and asked if she needs any assistance.</p><p><em>“I just wanted to help at that point,”</em> she said, noting that an airport security guard with a K-9 stopped Del Rio <em>“because they could smell the alcohol.”</em></p>
