TMZ reports that Scott Hall was ejected out of a T.G.I. Friday’s restaurant in the Atlanta airport last Friday.

According to a witness, Hall was at the bar drinking Coors Lights and tequila shots. He allegedly hit on the bartender and called her a b—h, which caused problems with the bartender’s father, who was at the bar. Hall reportedly didn’t believe that the man was the bartender’s father, and refused to leave when the manager asked him to. Police were called, and Hall left without further incident. No police report was filed.

Scott Hall posted the following on Twitter this morning:

Chyna’s Mother Makes Official Request For Police To Re-Examine Death Case

Source: Pro Wrestling Sheet

Joanie Laurer’s tragic passing is still shrouded in mystery … but based on information that Chyna‘s mother has re-evaluated since it happened, she’s now asking police to take a closer look.

Pro Wrestling Sheet spoke with Chyna’s mom, Jan LaQue, who says she talked to the Redondo Beach detective handling the case earlier this afternoon about her new request, and he was very cooperative.

Jan claims she doesn’t believe Chyna’s manager Anthony Anzaldo was completely honest in the wake of Laurer’s death, and now that time has passed, she believes some of his moves need to be further looked into.  Most notably, LaQue points out that her daughter seems to have fired Anzaldo weeks before passing away.

In emails obtained by The Sheet … Chyna wrote her mom saying the manager stole money from her, so she was taking a break from the guy.  Joanie added, “Please refrain from talking to Anthony at the moment.” At the time, Jan says she was worried her daughter was just dealing with personal demons.

Upon further thought in the time that has passed, LaQue fears that maybe wasn’t the case. Which is why she’s now speaking up about it.

And even worse, we’re told the manager gave away Joanie’s cello — the news of which was first brought to our attention via the Chyna for The WWE Hall of Fame Facebook page — and he’s been confrontational each time her mother has tried getting answers on who received it, where the rest of her stuff has been placed, or how the money that was donated to her estate is being used.

Chyna’s official cause of death is still pending further investigation, and Jan tells us the detective said they’d have to wait for the official toxicology report to come back before they can make any further investigative decisions.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reached out to Anzaldo for comment. So far, no word back.

UFC Star Miesha Tate Rescues 6-Year-Old With Broken Arm While Hiking

Most UFC fighters don’t wear capes to the octagon as part of their kits. Miesha Tate might have to start that trend going forward, though.

The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion was out hiking Sunday when she found a family in need at the top of the mountain. Their six-year-old daughter, Kai, had broken her arm, and the parents were going to have to carry her down the 2.6 mile trail before she could get medical attention.

The girl’s mother was struggling to do so when Tate arrived.
