WWE Releases Diva Aksana, Teddy Long And Others

20140612-090313.jpg

It’s that time again where WWE starts making cuts due to what one would assume is money. It was announced today that numerous superstars have been cut from the flagship that is wwe. Those names include Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, (guess that means no more 3MB) Brodus Clay, Curt Hawkins, Yoshi Tatsu, Teddy Long, Camacho referee Marc Haris and Evan Bourne.

However the stand out cut for me and the one that’s bothering me most is diva Aksana. With her being gone means that there’s only 2 girls left from NXT season 3 and that’s Naomi and AJ (but then again no one really knows what’s going on with AJ)

see it’s a sad moment for me because NXT season 3 is what got the flame going again for my love of divas. (It was how I discovered Kaitlyn (and we all know how much I love her)

Aksana was hilarious playing the ditzy foreign blonde who later became her pro’s (Goldust) wife to only betray him. Then when she got to the main roster she became Cesaro’s manager only to be betrayed by him. (What goes around comes around right)

To me Aksana was someone that was always underused. Sure she may have injured Naomi but accidents happen and she still had potential in my eyes so truly I’m sad to see her go. In fact I’m sad to see them all go, because in truth they are were great talents that were poorly used. One has to wonder if we’ll see any of them in TNA anytime soon?

The other question that has to be answered now is who will take Aksana’s place in being Alicia Fox’s side kick?

Apparently the list keeps growing you can stay updated here http://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-releases-superstars

On behalf of everyone here at DTRTwrestling I would like to wish these talents well. Thanks for entertaining us

Chael Sonnen announces retirement

20140611-175114.jpg

In the sports word things can change on a dime. I was literally JUST writing some stuff up on Chael Sonnen for this weeks episode of DTRTwrestling weekly and then I get a txt from fellow crew member Trevor Decker and I learn that Chael Sonnen says he’s retiring from MMA…. I mean just like that. You can read more on the story here http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/chael-sonnen-announces-he-s-retiring-from-mma-after-17-years-of-fighting-061114?cmpid=traffic:partner:bleacherreport

The dude has had a hell of a career. One of his stand out rivalries of corse was against the legendary Anderson Silva. Sonnen is definitely a legend in his own right and in some ways my heart is breaking for the dude because its like he had to do what he did to stay healthy.

With Sonnen announcing retirement want does this mean for the light heavyweight title? You can expect me to discuss the Sonnen situation in its entirety this Friday on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/DTRTwrestling at 12pmPST/3pmEST

Jessamyn Duke’s next fight announced.

20140610-125815.jpg

It was just announced via @Armbatnation that Jessamyn Duke’s next fight will take place 7/16/14 on UFC fight night. https://twitter.com/armbarnation/status/476449617542778880

Her opponent? Leslie smith. Both these ladies are coming off losses they suffered in April. Duke against Corriea and Smith against Kaufman, so one can assume both these ladies are looking to bounce back. It should be a great fight. Get ready to load up fellow “Gun Club members. We mean business.

Exciting news for members of “the Gun Club”

20140609-233318.jpg

You know those nights when you’re too excited so sleep is non exist? Well tonight is one of those nights for me. Not only me but all members of “the Gun Club” it was JUST ANNOUNCED via twitter by “the gun” herself that there’s going to be a fight announcement coming soon

That’s right ladies and gents Jessamyn Duke is once again stepping foot in the octagon sometime in the near future. We last saw Duke in the octagon on April 26th at UFC172 in which Duke came up short(if you even want to call it that) against Bethe corriea who will later take on Duke’s training partner Shayna Baszler Aug 2nd at UFC176 in Los Angeles CA.

Now you may recall shortly after that fight I posted a piece stating that this was only the beginning, she will one day be a threat to Rousey’s title(I still firmly believe that by the way) and that the #JessMovement lives!
Well this announcement proves my point. So who do you guys think her opponent will be? One things forsure whoever it is will have their hands full because all of us should already know “Don’t play with Guns”

A little help goes along way

So I know this may not be wrestling or MMA related at all but I figure since DTRT stands for “do the right thing” I thought I would share anyway

so I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful soul (Nicole)in February of last year and her story touched me because it’s very similar to mine. Her mom lost her battle to cancer. Little has inspired me and given me hope. ALL that I’m asking is that you take 7 mins out of your day and watch this video and if you would like to donate you can send payments via PayPal at switchlittle@gmail.com even if you can’t donate sharing the video is help in itself

Thanks guys and God Bless
