WWE Star Critical Of How WWE Is Booking The Divas Revolution

Chris Jericho stated on a recent episode of his Talk Is Jericho podcast that WWE is going along with the Divas Revolution storyline the wrong way.

Jericho said:

“You can’t push nine people at once. You can’t. They introduced too many people in too short a timeframe and put them all together, so now it’s just one big wash.”

Jericho continued by praising the talents:

“I think all the divas are talented. I think the four from NXT (Bayley, Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks), even though Bayley is not there yet, are off the charts talented, but I think it’s not working right now in the WWE because it’s too much at once.”

Jericho then compared the Four Horsewomen of NXT – Bayley, Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks to Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit.

“You can’t put us with the other guys that aren’t of the level and expect the same type of matches. And those girls in the WWE are working hard, the Bellas and Alicia Fox and Paige, but those four from NXT, they just know each other better. They’re cut from a different cloth. They work together better, so they are going to be having better matches.”

Lana issues statement on injury 

  It is being reported that WWE diva Lana sustained a wrist injury while training for her first in ring match. Word going around is that there was suppose to be a mixed tag match at Night of Champions pinning Lana and Ziggler to go up against the team of Rusev and Summer Rae. Now due to Lana’s injury that won’t be the case.

Lana took to Twitter and Instagram to address her injury. She had this to say: “I have dedicated my entire life to becoming the best sports entertainer I could be. Ever since I have debuted in @wwe I have continued to go to @wwenxt & come hours early before live events to train & learn how to fight. I wanted my first match to make the #WWE Universe proud. My wrist fracture is proof that WWE & professional wrestling is not fake but very real. This is a bump in the road & can be discouraging but for every person that has believed in me and has ever chanted #WeWantLana I will keep going. From here forward I will share every part of my journey to my first match. Thank you to every fan that has cheered for me & chanted my name, you all give me the strength to be brave. I will continue to give everything I have to becoming one of the greatest women in WWE & entertainment.”

Lana is expected to be out from anywhere between 4-6 months. We here at Wrestling news blog. Would like to send Lana positive vibes and hopes for a speedy recovery

Sting Wants Jim Ross To Call His Last Match

Sting appeared on Jim Ross’ podcast The Ross Report recently to talk about his career winding down.

During the conversation Jim Ross said that there was a very short list of names that he’d want to come back to call their last match. He told Sting that his name was on the list. Sting let him know that he felt the same way.

“The feeling is mutual,” Sting said. “If I could have anyone on the face of this Earth to call my last match, it would be Jim Ross. If I get my way, if I get what I want, that’s what’s going to happen.”

Ross then joked that he was available and works cheap.

“You can’t say ‘the young kid from Venice Beach’ anymore, though. You’ll have to be more creative,” Sting joked.

Jim Ross hasn’t called a match for WWE since January 2013.

Jimmy Snuka Has Dementia, May Not Be Able To Stand Trial

William E. Moore, the attorney representing WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka told the Allentown Morning Call that he sees the likelihood of Snuka being able to stand trial doubtful.

Moore said Snuka was wheelchair-bound and hooked up to a feeding tube when he surrendered into custody. He said Snuka is not in good shape physically or mentally and that he’s not sure Snuka realized what was going on.

Moore said Snuka is suffering from partial dementia stemming from numerous concussions. He said Snuka has limited recall/long-term memory, if you put him up against a sharp prosecutor asking him to remember 30 years ago he would have no recollection.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 21st, but that may be delayed because Moore is unable to represent Snuka at trial due to a prior commitment.
