"EVOLVE wrestling is here!!! After several months of preparation EVOLVE is here. We urge you to keep checking EVOLVEwrestling.com. to watch this new promotion grow, develop and evolve before your eyes. All we'll say now in this blog is that the partnership of Sal Hamaoui, Davey Richards and myself is behind EVOLVE."
Prescription Abuse Plagues Wrestling
Pro wrestling promoter Greg Price says the abuse of prescription pain pills is crippling the industry. Price runs the National Wrestling Alliance Legends Fanfest in Charlotte, which features wrestling stars from past and present.
"I see people every day," he said. "They have to perform at an incredibly high level. They don't accept mediocre. A little bit of responsibility has to come back. ... Many of these guys - they are specifically with the WWE - are paid based on their performance. If they're hurt, they can't participate at the very best level. "They can't make main-event money this month."
And that, Price said, can lead to abuse of prescription pills and other drugs. He questions whether the company is doing enough for those wrestlers who may be struggling with nagging injuries and drug issues.
Officials with World Wrestling Entertainment say the company has a strict substance abuse and drug testing policy...More?

Raw House Show Results - Liverpool, England
HHH, HBK and Cena def, Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes.
During the match, HBK goes to roll up DiBiase and purposely pulls his pants down so you can see his entire arse for about 20 seconds whilst he runs around the ring holding it to protect his penis and you can clearly see his entire white arse.
Funny ending, Legacy are about to win when Horbswoggle appears and sweet chin musics Orton to the knee. This distracts Legacy and when they turn around DiBiase gets sweet chin music, Orton gets pedigreed and Rhodes FU'd.
Ends with the 3 faces posing in the ring with hornswoggle. DX and Cena get wound up as Hornswoggle immitates HBK's poses, then Hornswoggle grabs a bottle of water and does the HHH water spit thing and finally does Cena's 3D sign. Finally they laugh it off and celebrate together to end the show...More?
