Kevin Nash posted the following on his official Twitter: "BTW: just talked to Scott. He was watching the Bulls game and sounded ok to me."
Scott Hall's ex-wife, Dana, has still been very vocal on her own Twitter page and had a different opinion of Scott's condition after a recent phone call: "We finally got him 2 answer phone, NOT a nice call, basically he could care less about kids/getting well- he was drinking".
Dana has even been sending links of her recent open letter printed in the Post and Courier to Dog the Bounty Hunter, Dr. Drew, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman and even TMZ, begging for their help with the situation.

This Day in Wrestling History
Happy Birthday to Frank Gotch
April 27, 1878 - December 16, 1917
Frank Gotch is truly one of the original pioneers of professional wrestling. Long before the money, fame, and glitz of modern wrestling, long before the post WWII boom of Gorgeous George and "TV wrestling," before Lou Thesz, before Ed "Strangler" Lewis, before there was even a such thing as a "federation" in wrestling, there was Frank Gotch.
During this fleeting time of legitimacy in wrestling, Gotch was renowned for his great skill and power, despite his deceivingly small stature, and became perhaps wrestling's first true box-office attraction. As crafty and ruthless as he was skilled, Gotch held the undisputed World Title until he retired, undefeated as champion. His professional record was an impressive 132 victories out of 140 total matches...with several of his losses coming in handicapped matches. His bouts with Hackenschmidt, Jenkins, Stanislaus Zbysko and others were truly legendary...and can be traced back to the earliest days of what we now know as professional wrestling...More?

John Cena Sidesteps WWE Draft Move
John Cena was moved to SmackDown in a fascinating WWE draft special — but returned to Raw within two hours.
The nine-time world champion was the first name announced as shifting from the red brand to its blue counterpart after Smackdown's Big Show and Kofi Kingston won a battle royal to open this week's Raw.
However, in the main event — a match Cena actually competed in for SmackDown — the red team of The Miz, CM Punk and newly-drafted Alberto Del Rio emerged victorious, earning another pick.
This turned out to be Cena, who destroyed the heels and celebrated to close the show...More?

WWE Changes Autograph Policy
WWE recently issued a memo to talents, notifying them that they can no longer sign autographs on money, clothing or people's skin. This comes after a top WWE star recently signed a fans' expensive leather jacket. The next day, an angry parent called WWE officials and complained that the jacket was ruined, forcing WWE to reimburse the parent for the jacket.
