The home of former WWE Superstar and wrestling great One Man Gang recently fell victim to flooding in Louisiana … and now he’s asking fans for help getting back on his feet.
Gang detailed the devastation on his GoFundMe page saying, “… our family home for 25 years in Central, LA received 4′ of water inside it. Unfortunately I wasn’t there to do a 747 Splash and send that water back up the street crying for its momma.”
He adds, “However almost everything my wife & I ever owned was ruined. All the beds, couches, appliances, electronics, clothes, basically everything in the entire house was destroyed while submerged for 3 days.”
Luckily, his 11 pets were all saved. He did lose some irreplaceable items, however, including family albums and wrestling memorabilia.
At the time of this posting, Gang has so far been able to raise $5,660 of the $20,000 he is seeking.

WWE Doctor On Finn Balor’s Injury Being More Severe Than Normal, Update On His Ring Return
Source: WrestlingINC
Finn Balor underwent shoulder surgery on Tuesday evening after being forced to drop the WWE Universal Title on Monday’s RAW, just 24 hours after winning it at SummerSlam. The injury came when Balor took a powerbomb into the barrier from Seth Rollins.
WWE’s Dr. Jeffrey Dugas commented on Balor’s operation and noted that the injury was more severe than normal. Dugas said:
“Finn’s injury was pretty severe, more severe than normal. A really high energy injury, it did more damage than a standard shoulder dislocation where you simply tear the labrum. The prognosis is excellent, however. We were able to fix it all and put it back where it came from. I’m anticipating him getting back at full speed.”
It’s been expected that Balor would be out of action for 4-6 months but WWE did not include an updated timeframe in their latest report. There was some concern at RAW that he could be out of action for a few months longer.
Balor tweeted these photos after surgery yesterday:
The Miz Completely Loses It In The Face Of GM Daniel Bryan During ‘Talking Smack’ (Video)
Source: WrestlingINC
Last night’s Talking Smack was probably the most interesting episode yet ending with a fiery promo from the Miz that resulted in Daniel Bryan walking off the set.
The segment began with The Miz coming onto the set and complaining to Bryan about not being on tonight’s SmackDown despite being the Intercontinental Champion. The Miz noted that the IC title was the last one that Bryan held and he wanted to make it relevant again. Bryan said that he had respect for the title, but that he doesn’t respect Miz. When Miz asked why, Bryan said that he hasn’t done anything wrong, but that he and the fans don’t like the way he wrestles.
The Miz brought up his clean victory over Apollo Crews at SummerSlam, but Bryan said that he was still more impressed with Crews. He said that while Crews lost, he told the Miz that he wrestles like a coward and it seems like he’s afraid to get hit. Bryan said back when he was on the indy scene, if he had to create a mold of the stereotypical soft WWE wrestler, The Miz would be it, and said that WWE has transformed since then.
The Miz went on to cut probably the best promo of his career, at Bryan’s expense. Miz said that the reason why he wrestles the way he does is because he can do it every day all the time for 10+ years, and noted that he’s never been injured. Miz got out of his chair and starting laying into Bryan, noting that Bryan promised fans that he would be back to regain the IC title and he didn’t. Bryan said that if WWE would let him come back, he would.
Miz continued harping on Bryan, saying that if he loves wrestling so much he should quit “and go to the indy halls.” He said that while Bryan calls him a coward, he’s the one not wrestling in a WWE ring again. At this point, Bryan took off, as seen in the video above.
Miz finished by yelling at Bryan to not walk away and said that he loves the fans while Bryan walks away every single time.
“You’re the coward!” Miz exclaimed. “I am not a coward. I am your Intercontinental Champion!”
This may be the best segment I’ve seen on WWE television in a while, I would definitely recommend checking it out.
