Kurt Angle shared some sad news on his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show,
which was that he’s suffering from memory loss and some damage to his brain as
a result of four concussions he suffered from his days as a professional wrestler.
He explained that three of the four concussions he suffered were major
concussions which has resulted in some damage to his brain. He elaborated further saying:
“But, you know, even to this day, I’m starting to not remember things, you know, and I’m only
in my early 50s. But, I’ve gotten a little damage to my brain, there’s no doubt about it. You know,
my memory is not that great anymore. I really have to think hard about remembering the past.”
Following the infamous brawl that took place backstage between CM Punk
and The Elite after All Out… which we covered in a previous video
(Feel free to check it out!)
all those involved in the altercation were suspended.
However, CM Punk’s suspension could be permanent according to Wade Keller of
PWTorch. Keller also noted that Punk’s name was excluded when commentator,
Ian Riccaboni discussed past notable Ring of Honor World Champions. Here’s what he said:
"I think this is noteworthy but not surprising he excluded CM Punk's name as he talked about
some of the biggest names who have held the title. That's a bit of a tell…. I am
not expecting CM Punk to wrestle in AEW again. I'm not saying it's 100 percent sure thing but
everything is pointing in the direction of some sort of buyout of his contract.”
AEW has remained silent over this matter but it looks like CM Punk won’t be returning back to AEW.
On the 21st September 2022 episode of AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, Saraya, formerly known as Paige in
the WWE, made a surprise debut following the interim AEW Women’s World Championship match.
She was forced to retire back in 2018 from a neck injury she suffered at a WWE House
Show in December 2017. Following this, Saraya took on the role of SmackDown General Manager,
later managing The Kabuki Warriors and also worked as a panellist for WWE Backstage.
Interestingly before being signed to AEW, Saraya shared an update on her neck in a Twitch stream,
saying: “It’s so healthy. I feel like I’m the most
healthy I’ve been in my whole career. I feel like I can compete again, 1000%.”
Saraya is a pioneer of the Women’s Evolution and she is now All Elite.
During an interview with SportBible, Triple H revealed that he was almost fired by the
WWE for his DX segments with Shawn Michaels. He went into detail explaining that USA Network
were not happy with D-Generation X and sent Vince McMahon a letter outlining how DX went too far
and even threatened to remove RAW off the air if they didn’t stop with the expletives and gestures.
And what did DX do? They brought the letter on live TV and made fun of it…
Fortunately for them, the segment paid off as USA Network sent WWE a letter the next day saying:
“Congratulations on the ratings last night. What DX did with our letter
was hilarious. Congratulations on the success, here's to many more years.”
D Generation-X are scheduled to reunite on the October 10th edition of Monday Night
Raw to celebrate their 25th anniversary. If you don’t like that then I have two words for you…
Oh you’re waiting for me to say the catchphrase…
