Triple H Interrupts During an Interview with Shawn Michaels

Much like any of WWE’s live broadcasts, the potential exists for something to go wrong or for interruptions during an interview. The latter held true, humorously, during our chat backstage moments before the tribute’s taping. But you don’t argue with Michaels’ best friend and former DX partner Triple H. Mostly because he’s that damn good. And, well, because Triple H can kick my ass. Fortunately, a battle royal didn’t break out, and Michaels continued to graciously accommodate.

As Shawn Michaels described what life has been like since retiring from wrestling, a brief stoppage in the interview occured as Triple H appeared:

Triple H: On my bus is your camou stuff.
Michaels: Yeah?
Triple H: I’ve got a little suitcase of DX stuff. We’re pretty limited. That’s all the DX stuff that exists apparently. I just need to know what one you want to wear so I can put the same one on.
Michaels: Whatever one you want.
Triple H: It doesn’t matter to me. You know where my bus is, right over there?
Michaels: Yeah, I guess so.
Triple H: At some point, just run on in there, change and grab whatever shirt you want, and I’ll just grab the same one.
Michaels: Alright. Nobody’s told me anything.
Triple H: That’s what I figured.
Michaels: Yeah (laughs, looks at interviewer and shrugs). I found out when I got here I was actually doing something (in the ring). Sheesh. And that’s the truth. That’s how it goes. I got a text: “You want some camou?” I’m like, what for? “For the DX stuff.” Am I doing something?

First Match Announced for Pro-Wrestling SUN Debut Show: Mia Yim vs Mia Svensson

Pro-Wrestling SUN is pleased to announce the first two members of the Queens of Promise rookie roster, both scheduled to face each other at our inaugural show March 20, 2011 in Jackson, NJ.

Representing Jersey All Pro Wrestling is 2010 standout Mia Yim. The last year has been a huge one for Yim, who has been on a tear of the East Coast. From great outings at Jersey All Pro and Pro Wrestling Respect to a much buzzed about tryout with TNA Wrestling. In September, Yim was one of four women to be a part of the SHIMMER pre-show, Sparkle, in Berywn, IL. It was during that weekend when bad blood developed between Mia Yim and her SUN opponent.

Mia Svensson, also known as the Scandinavian Sweetheart, is a young upstart from Sweden. Svensson is a student of SUN president Allison Danger and North Carolina promoter “Nitestic” Eddie Brown. Svensson suffered a broken rib at the Sparkle pre-show in Berwyn, IL during singles competition with Mia Yim, an unexpected double stomp put Svensson on the disabled list and sent her right off the deep end. After a war of words across the internet, the unadulterated hatred between the two reached an all time high and Svensson lobbied SUN president Allison Danger to make the match and finally put these two women within the squared circle to settle their differences.

Sunday, March 20th in Jackson, NJ, World-1 and Pro-Wrestling SUN are set to blow the roof!

Moore County DA Says Wrestler Jeff Hardy to Plead Guilty to Drug Charges

Jeff Hardy, the professional wrestler from Cameron who was arrested last year on drug charges, plans to plead guilty in court next month, according to the Moore County district attorney.

Moore County deputies raided Hardy's home in September 2009 after Fayetteville police received a tip about drug use in his Cameron home.

When they searched his house at 265 Boys Camp Road, lawmen found about 262 doses of Vicodin prescription painkillers, 180 Soma prescription pills, 55milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and drug paraphernalia. The street value of the drugs was estimated at $2,500, the sheriff's department said at the time. He was charged with trafficking in opium, two counts of possession with intent to sell or deliver a controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling to keep a controlled substance, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He has been free on bail since his arrest.

At a court appearance earlier this month, Hardy's lawyer, James Van Camp, told the judge his client intends to plead guilty at his hearing Jan.20, District Attorney Maureen Krueger said.

Krueger would not comment on whether Hardy would be offered a deal in exchange for his plea, or whether he would be able to avoid jail time...More?
