All mention of CM Punk appearing at the Louisville Comic Con in late March have been removed from the Wizard World website. The appearance is still listed on WWE’s website. Comic Con officials was asked by a fan on Facebook this weekend if Punk is still appearing & they replied, “we are waiting to hear.”
Randy Orton is in deep trouble. The Authority’s faith in him seems to flip-flop every week, & The Viper hasn’t exactly risen to the challenge against his 5 Elimination Chamber opponents in singles competition. Orton is just 1-3 after hi upset loss to Cesaro on SmackDown & his final hurdle is against Sheamus tonight on RAW. The Apex Predator needs a win. Can he beat Sheamus?
The New Age Outlaws have been somewhat dismissive of the notion of The Usos as legitimate contenders to their WWE Tag Team Titles. The Usos defeated The New Age Outlaws in an 8-Man Tag Team Match on SmackDown. Will The Usos finally get their opportunity at the Titles?
Jack Swagger defeated Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston & Mark Henry on SmackDown to become the #1 contender to Big E’s Intercontinental Championship. The Elimination Chamber is setting up to be a game-changer for Zeb Colter & his crew. Can Swagger stay on the rebound from his recent misfortunes & keep The Real Americans running strong?
Looks like strongly worded reprimands aren’t going to do much for Daniel Bryan, who gave his old buddy Kane a stronger reprimand right to the face courtesy of a running knee last Monday on RAW. Will there be another confrontation between them tonight on RAW?
Alberto Del Rio got what he wanted – he will face Batista at Elimination Chamber – and he also may have gotten more than he bargained for, as a Batista Bomb through the announce table last week. Now that The Animal has zeroed in on Del Rio as his target, Del Rio has to start thinking strategy. Can Del Rio find a way to neutralize Batista before the Elimination Chamber?
I want to dedicate this post to my good friends and fellow DTRT Wrestling News contributors Trevor and Vanessa – who both have loved Lita and her abilities for many years.
When I think of the name Lita, one simple thing comes to mind – Professional Wrestler. Notice what I didn’t say. I didn’t say women’s wrestler; I didn’t say Diva, and I didn’t say sports entertainer.
Lita was just a flat out professional wrestler. Man or woman she could hold her own with anyone in the ring, and she epitomizes what Hall of Fame members should be – a total professional.
Check out this tribute that was posted here on our site:
BEST LITA TRIBUTE ON YOUTUBE
You can also see Vanessa’s reaction to the announcement here:
VANESSA’S THOUGHTS ON THE LATEST INDUCTEE OF THE 2014 HOF
And finally the WWE official announcement video here:
LITA TO BE INDUCTED INTO WWE HALL OF FAME
The 2014 Hall of Fame inductions have turned in to a huge winner for the WWE. As great as The Ultimate Warrior and Jake “The Snake” Roberts were, there couldn’t be a better choice than Lita.
I started off with what came to mind when I think of Lita, and I’m gonna finish with the other thing that comes to mind. Class act!
He guys. It pains me to report this but at the moment my phone is at 53% and my charger is no longer working. I may be getting a new one in the next couple of days but if I don’t once my phone dies I will be MIA meaning I won’t be able to do live tweeting during Raw or live coverage during UFC170. I’m truly sorry guys. I wanted to give you all a heads up. Hopefully I’ll get a charger soon and I will be able to do the coverage. Thanks guys.

This tribute video was made when Lita first left the WWE. Nearly 9 years later and it’s still my favorite. Admittedly every time I watch it I tear up a little. Enjoy

This news is a little late but I figure better late then never. Tonight on CMT a show called tattoo titans will air. It’s a completion tattoo show, and one of the judges is none other then 2014 hall of fame inductee “Lita”
The show will start at 8PM PST/ 10PM OR 11PM EST depending if you’re 3 or two hours ahead of west cost time.
So who will be tuning in tonight? I for one am stoked because not only am I fan of tattoos but I mean come on I get to see Amy Dumas on my tv again

According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter the reason Sting has not signed a deal yet with WWE is because WWE is dragging their feet. WWE officials are in no hurry to get Sting signed for a match at WrestleMania XXX, but word is that Sting was hoping for a match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX.
Sting lives in the Dallas area & he is willing to work out a match in private at Taker’s gym, over & over to get it right, which is what Taker’s opponents have done for the past several years. That is a big reason the matches have gone over so well. There is some concern that if Brock Lesnar gets the match against Taker at WrestleMania XXX, Lesnar may not be willing to spend the several extra days working with Taker to get the entire match worked out because of he makes big money for a limited amount of work & only has a certain amount of dates on his contract.
Here’s exclusive footage of Daniel Bryan showing my girls some love last night which will air Friday night on Smackdown. I really hope they don’t edit this out.
Big thank you to Layzie “the savage” for allowing me to share the videos on our site.

So as we all know Smackdown is tapped on a Tuesday and aired on a Friday.
Last night Smackdown was held in Ontario California and once again my two favorite UFC fighters Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke were in attendance along with their friend Layzie
As some of you may or may not know Shayna and Jessamyn are members of an alliance/group called the 4Horsewomen that also consist of Marina Shafir and Ronda Rousey. This group was formed because of their love for wrestling and to pay respect to the group known as “the 4horsemen.
Originally it was stemmed from a picture the girls took online mimicking an iconic 4horsemen picture. Naturally the pic got a lot of hate and a lot of love thus came the birth of the 4horsewomen
The cool part of all of this is WWE’s Daniel Bryan is a fan of the 4Horsewomen and he threw up the 4’s in his entrance last night according to a tweet sent out by Shayna Baszler. You can check out the tweet below. By clicking the link
Further more Bryan threw his shirt to Jessamyn Duke which you can check out in a video here curiosity of Layzie’s IG
So ufc fans and wrestling fans alike if you’re excited about this as much as I am be sure to catch Smackdown this Friday to see if you can point out this moment
From what Shayna, Jessamyn and Layzie are saying we are not going to want to miss this Smackdown

It seems to appear that WWE has dropped Antonio from Antonio Cesaro’s name. His profile on the WWE roster page has been changed to reflect the name change. His Twitter name has also been changed to just Cesaro.
