Justin Credible Arrested By Police For Second Time In One-Month Period

Justin Credible

Former WWE  and ECW star Justin Credible is back behind bars — this time for violating a restraining order.

This marks the second time Credible has been in jail in the last 30 days.  Last month, we reported law enforcement in Connecticut booked him for violation of a protective order as well.

This time around, Justin was arrested Wednesday with bond set at $50,000.  That’s much higher than his last arrest — where he was held on $7,500 bond.

Following July’s run-in with the law, the wrestler told Pro Wrestling Sheet, “I promise to my fans, my friends and my family that the man Peter Polaco will never be a negative headline again, and the character Justin Credible still has many great moments left.”

Also in that statement, Justin mentioned his battles with addiction — and noted his marriage has had ups and downs.

Last year, an order was issued for his wife following a domestic dispute.  One would presume the restraining involved with his latest arrest was tied to his marriage.

We’ll report back once more information is made available by authorities.

Nike is facing a boycott from people angry over Colin Kaepernick being the face of the company’s latest campaign … and Titus O’Neil is attempting to make a positive out of the situation.

For those unaware, people have been cutting the Nike logo off their clothes and posting pics on social media due to the Kaepernick announcement. Singer John Rich joined in on the trend by tweeting a photo of a member of his band who had also cut the logo off his socks.

Now the former leader of Titus Worldwide is getting involved.

“Dear  folks,” O’Neil tweeted. “Instead of Burning/Trashing send whatever  Gear you no longer want to me at this address — 2101 n Florida Ave, Tampa Fl 33602 — and I will partner with Metro Ministries and   and other agencies to distribute them 2those in need. Thx”

Respect.

The Undertaker Returns On RAW and Confronts Shawn Michaels, Sends Warning To Triple H (Video)

Image result for The Undertaker sends a chilling warning to Triple H and Shawn Michaels

The Undertaker (video below) made his return to WWE RAW last night in Columbus.

Undertaker confronted WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, who issued a warning to Undertaker about facing Triple H at the upcoming Super Show-Down event in Australia.

While promoting that upcoming match on October 6, the two teased a possible match with Michaels stating he stayed retired out of respect for Undertaker.

Excerpt courtesy of Mike Tedesco’s RAW recap:

“Michaels says he is a man of his word. Somebody had to restore faith in the system and stand and be committed to the words they spoke. Anyone can talk, but they go back on their word after a while. Michaels doesn’t do that. Michaels has stuck to his retirement because he’s a man of his word. Michaels has stayed retired out of respect for the system, the fans, and for The Undertaker. A “One more match” chant picks up. Michaels says every time he steps into an arena, he hears that chant. Undertaker cuts him off and asks if he’s really talking about respect. Michaels says for nearly a decade they’ve clamored for one more match. Half the locker room has beaten down his door for a dream match against him at WrestleMania. Michaels has turned down millions of dollars for one more match. Michaels has stayed retired out of respect for The Undertaker. Another “One more match” chant picks up. Undertaker just stares at Michaels. Michaels turns his back, and Undertaker asks him if it’s respect or fear. Michaels turns and looks furiously at him.”

Backstage News On Why It Took WWE Almost One Year To Grant Neville’s Release

Image result for Neville wwe

Regarding Neville officially being released from WWE this past week, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that he is free to go anywhere he wants because there is no non-compete clause in effect.

Neville, who had been unhappy with WWE creative, tried getting his release when he quit the company back in October 2017. WWE officials did not grant the release when he quit because they didn’t want to set a precedent where talents under contract could walk out and go to New Japan Pro Wrestling, which is where it was expected Neville would end up. Neville’s contract was then frozen for almost one year before being released last week.

There’s obvious speculation on Neville appearing at All In this weekend but that has not been confirmed.
