It was clear Sheamus’ goal was to inflict as much pain on Shelton Benjamin as possible during their highly-anticipated match on “WWE Superstars.” After interfering in The Gold Standard’s eventual triumph over Paul Burchill on ECW on Syfy last week and injuring Benjamin’s left shoulder, The Celtic Warrior did not decelerate. Despite being disqualified for not following the referee’s several warnings, Sheamus continued to attack Benjamin. Full results.

Junie Browning Arrested, Cut From UFC
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on Wednesday that Ultimate Fighter alumnus Junie Browning has been arrested for assaulting medical personnel at a hospital in suburban Las Vegas.
Browning reportedly took 16 anti-anxiety pills in an “attempt to harm himself.” When friends took him to the hospital he became angry and assaulted three nurses. He has been charged with three counts of battery on a health care provider, which, I guess, is worse than battery on a regular person.
According to Yahoo! Sports, UFC President Dana White immediately terminated Junie’s contract with the UFC upon hearing the news. Since his time on The Ultimate Fighter, Junie had racked up a 1-1 record, most recently losing via submission to Cole Miller...More?

And even if she doesn’t win the nomination, the WWE stands to gain more of the mainstream credibility that it craves. The WWE clearly realized that every story that mentions McMahon will also mention the company.
In this case, Linda McMahon really doesn’t have a lot to lose, except for a few million dollars. If she runs a serious campaign, there is virtually no risk of damaging the family business she helped build that will likely be passed down to her son, daughter and son-in-law, wrestler Triple H...More?
