Bray Wyatt took to Twitter during tonight’s WWE RAW and made a very cryptic “goodbye” tweet.

Wyatt wrote – “I’m not a God,” Wyatt tweeted. “I never was. I’m sorry I said it, I was wrong. I know the true God now and all his power. I feel that I am forgiven for all the wickedness I have caused. My soul is clean now. My mind is clear. I see what I did wrong, what was done to me. They took it all.”

Adding, “I have so many things to fix. I realize that I was sick. My mind doesn’t work like other people’s, it gets lost and attached to ideals that are unrealistic and poisonous. My next journey will be to find my true calling. This is goodbye.”

Adding, “To all that have loved and supported us we say thank you. And ask that you have faith in us. I was put on this Earth to fix it, to change it. And I will not die until this is so. Goodbye my brothers and sisters. The journey is far from over.”

Cody Rhodes Reveals He Passed On A WWE Offer Weeks Ago

IWGP US Champion Cody Rhodes is currently in the UK and during his time there he appeared on Fight Forever Wrestling’s production of Bruce Prichard’s Something To Wrestle podcast.

Responding to a fan question about returning to WWE, Rhodes noted he had “passed on the WWE offer a few weeks ago” and felt there is a market for non-PG wrestling after the success of “All In”back in September. The Young Bucks and Rhodes’ self-financed show in Chicago sold-out in a flash, and ever since there has been talk of not only an “All In 2” but a whole new All Elite Wrestling promotion.

Speaking of a follow-up to “All In,” Rhodes teased, “Hypothetically, would it necessarily be ‘All In 2’… or ‘All In: International?” Rhodes continued about the potential of having an international show.

“There are two major territories outside of the US in terms of wrestling: the UK and Australia,” Rhodes said. “If you put up a ring, they will come.”

The group has already moved away from the NJPW owned, Bullet Club, now going as The Elite. Rhodes (along with Adam Page and the Young Bucks) have repeatedly reminded fans they will be free agents on January 1. For Rhodes, his contract with ROH has already finished up, but he will be wrestling in his final match this Friday at ROH Final Battle against ROH World Champion Jay Lethal.

ROH COO Joe Koff spoke to Wrestling Inc last month and commented on if he thought The Elite would return to ROH.

“I don’t think so, and I don’t think that’s new news either,” Koff said. “They definitely have something in mind … and I’m very thankful for Cody and The Young Bucks and Page and their contributions to ROH. They were part of our great year. They’ll always be a part of the ROH family and I’m always excited when people choose to take a different direction or go in a different direction because it’s exciting for them as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.”

Saturday night, former WWE star Big Cass suffered a seizure at a House of Hardcore event during the show’s intermission. Big Cass was scheduled to appear on the second half of the show in a segment with Joey Ryan, but was replaced by the Blue Meanie. House of Hardcore took place at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

According to PWInsider, by the time the EMTs arrived to treat Cass he was coherent and speaking with HOH management.

Tommy Dreamer also gave an update on Twitter that he spoke to Cass today and he was doing well.

Below are tweets from those in attendance of last night’s show when Cass went down.

Cass’ former WWE tag-team partner, Enzo Amore, commented on Twitter about the incident with some words of support, “If I had a dime for every time one of us got knocked down and didn’t get back up…I would have zero dimes!”

Justin Credible Back Behind Bars For Assault And Breach Of Peace

justin credible arrested breach of peace assault

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that former ECW World Heavyweight Champion PJ Polaco, f.k.a. Justin Credible, has once again been arrested — this time for misdemeanor assault, violating a protection order and breach of peace.

The former ECW star was taken into custody on Tuesday and there are multiple charges listed, including criminal mischief and three instances of violating a protection order.

We’re told Credible lives with his family, but most in the house have protection orders against him in case an incident occurs … which might explain the multiple violations.

We’ve reached out to police for additional information on the arrest.

Sources tell Pro Wrestling Sheet that the 45-year-old has had multiple run-ins with the law since he was last arrested in September. He’s also allegedly walked away from going to WWE sponsored rehab.

During all of this, Credible has been filming a documentary about his struggle.

HBO is reportedly working on a documentary about New Japan Pro Wrestling star Kenny Omega, who is the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion.

Musician Joseph Shabason recently appeared on the Kreative Kontrol podcast and revealed that he had completed the musical score for the documentary. Shabason indicated that the documentary will air in earlt 2019.

“I just finished a documentary about a wrestler, that’s going to be coming out on HBO in the New Year, which is going to be really exciting,” he said. “It’s a wrestler named Kenny Omega, he’s a wrestler from Winnipeg, but he went to Japan and formed this tag team called The Golden Lovers, which was sort of the first-ever queer storyline in wrestling. … He’s a pretty incredible dude. I was really happy with scoring it.”

HBO found major success with their documentary on WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant that was released earlier this year along with WWE. Stay tuned for updates on when their Omega documentary will air.

Omega is set to defend his IWGP Heavyweight Title against Hiroshi Tanahashi at the NJPW WrestleKingdom 13 event from the Tokyo Dome on January 4.

Wrestling Legend Dynamite Kid Dead At 60

One of wrestling’s most innovative performers, Thomas “Dynamite Kid” Billington, died Wednesday on his 60th birthday, according to family friends.

Billington’s health struggles over the last decade have been well-publicized. His cause of death wasn’t immediately released.

Dynamite Kid’s wrestling career spanned two decades competing in the World Wrestling Federation, Stampede Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and All Japan Pro Wrestling. He found mainstream success alongside Davey Boy Smith in the British Bulldogs tag team during the 1980s in WWF.

Smith’s son confirmed the news this morning on Twitter.

“It deeply saddens me to announce the passing of Tom Billington the ‘Dynamite Kid.’ I was really happy and glad I got to see Dynamite one last time last June in the UK. Dynamite was certainly an inspiration to myself and many others and really revolutionized professional wrestling as we know it today,” Harry Smith wrote.

The former WWF tag champ has been pointed to as an childhood inspiration to many of wrestling’s top performers because of his high-flying, intense, and explosive in-ring style. Naturally, the tributes started rolling in on social media at the news of his passing.

“Gutted to hear about the passing of one of my heroes and biggest inspirations,” wrote former WWE UK champ Tyler Bate on Twitter. “RIP Dynamite Kid, Tommy Billington.”

“Thank you for all the work you’ve done for our country and inspiring so many wrestling to take a chance on themselves,” Will Ospreay wrote. “RIP Dynamite Kid.”

Billington competed in his final match in 1996. Due to leg and spinal injuries, he’s largely been confined to a wheelchair for the last two decades.

Chris Jericho Reportedly Involved In Physical Incident Outside Of Tour Bus

Chris Jericho was reportedly involved in an altercation with a fan following the Fozzy concert at The Exchange in Regina, Saskatchewan on Sunday night.

The incident reportedly started when a drunk man, described as being “all messed up” when the trouble began, tried getting on the Fozzy tour bus, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. Apparently there was a younger man who helped perform with the band that night, and he wanted to get on the tour bus to get autographs. Another man, the intoxicated guy who later ended up in police custody, reportedly tried to help the autograph-seeker get on the bus. The band did not want the inebriated man on the bus, but he tried sneaking on anyway. A crew member saw this and ended up in a fight with the guy, coming out of it with a broken collarbone.

Jericho reportedly came off the bus and started yelling at the drunk man as he was being kicked out. Jericho hit the man with a Spear and mounted him with punches, according to Meltzer. Jericho returned to the bus, came back out and yelled at the guy, and hit him with more punches.

People were watching the incident unfold and tried to hold the man until police arrived. He got away and was later chased by police, then apprehended. There’s no word yet on what the man was charged with or if anyone else is facing charges.

His opponent will be 41-year-old JW Kiser, who has only fought (and lost) one professional fight.
