[WWE] News on Foley, Ultimate Warrior Sues WWE, More

Archive

– The Ultimate Warrior (former name Jim Hellwig, new legal name Warrior Warrior) has filed a lawsuit against World Wrestling Entertainment. Filed on January 9 in The Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County, the suit is over the way Warrior’s wrestling career was depicted on the “Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior” DVD.

– WWE agent Dean Malenko and head of talent relations John Laurinaitis were in Lousville, Kentucky this week at the OVW facilities. Manager Kara Slice and Cliff “Domino” Compton were signed to developmental deals.

– Dalip “Giant” Singh was backstage at Smackdown this week. He will be reporting to DSW and the plan is to bring him to TV weekly while he’s training.

– Former WWE superstar Matt Morgan claims that his recent arrest was due to him cutting a promo on a woman who cut him off. He said she was lucky he wasn’t a police officer, but she reported him as impersonating one. He got pulled over later that day going through a red light, and his plates matched up with the woman’s complaint. He was brought into the police station and released, but it was too late, as the local TV station reported his arrest.

– WWE.com has posted a new commentary from Mick Foley, as well as the following call to WWE Fantasy players:

Since firing Eric Bischoff, Mr. McMahon has interviewed numerous personalities to take his place as RAW General Manager. But the RAW GM job isn’t the only position he’s looking to fill. Mr. McMahon is also looking for fans to manage their own rosters. Think you have what it takes?

Also on WWE.com, Gymini has their own profile page linked to the SD Superstars sub-site, and Tim White has his own page not linked to either RAW or SD. Of course, since his release, Heidenreich has been removed from the page. Thanks to Betty Nghal for sending that.
