Professional wrestler Reginald (Sweet Daddy) Siki relocated to Toronto from Texas in 1962. For three decades he fought the likes of The Sheik, Whipper Billy Watson and Andre the Giant in venues across North America, won what Wikipedia calls “six major wrestling belts” and, locally, attracted capacity crowds to his frequent appearances at Maple Leaf Gardens. Wrestling fans best remember Siki for his bleached-blond hair and outlandish costumes, and for his signature move: the airplane spin. But few would guess that his true passion was country-and-western music...More?

Rumor Mill - Rey Mysterio Injured?
According to a report by The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online, Rey Mysterio may have suffered an injury to his left leg after botching an attempted 619 during last night's WWE Raw/ECW house show in Lubbock, TX. Reports from the show are stating that Mysterio slipped on the ropes going for the 619. They then went for the finish right away with Shawn Michaels (Mysterio's tag team partner) hitting two superkicks and finishing the match. Michaels then went immediately to the outside as medical staff checked on Mysterio for around 10 minutes. He was helped out and was limping on the way out. It remains to be seen how serious the injury was.
Rumor Mill - SmackDown Creative Problems
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Michael Hayes is reportedly taking some heat for the changes he made to the Royal Rumble PPV back in January just a few days before the show which is said to have changed booking for the worst. It is also believed that Hayes has heat for failing to keep Freddie Prinze Jr. on the creative staff as Prinze Jr. worked under Hayes during his stint with the company. The McMahon's felt Prinze Jr. had a lot of long-term upside in helping them creatively and politically in Hollywood. It should be noted that Vince McMahon has been vocal recently about wanting the Raw brand beefed up even more in the upcoming Draft following WrestleMania 25, meaning things on the SmackDown side could be drastically downgraded considering the state of MyNetworkTV. One source described SmackDown as possibly becoming a brand that develops new stars whereas the Raw brand will remain the main focus of the company on TV.
