Eric Bischoff Comments on the Internet Wrestling Community
"Unfortunately, the internet, the dirt sheets, the blogs, whatever you want to call them - a lot of them are operating with partial information. And that hurts a lot of the different parties involved. It hurts the talent in certain respects; it hurts the business in certain respects; it hurts the credibility of the people who write about things that they don't fully understand. It's unfortunate, but that’s the nature of the business."
Shane McMahon's Company Under Threat of Being Delisted by NASDAQ
Shane McMahon's company, YOU On Demand, filed the following 8K with the SEC on August 23rd:
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 20, 2013, YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity reported for its most recently completed fiscal quarter did not meet the minimum requirement of $2,500,000 for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1). As reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2013, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was $1,553,238 as of June 30, 2013.
Under the applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan as to how the Company would seek to regain compliance with this requirement. The Company has been in contact with Nasdaq and will submit such a plan to regain compliance through transactions that result in a net increase in equity value. If the Company’s plan is not accepted by Nasdaq the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a hearings panel.
As a result of a gain on the Company’s recent sale of all of its interest in Jinan Guangdian Jia He Broadband Co., Ltd., the Company believes that it will be able to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1), however there can be no assurance that any plan to achieve continued compliance submitted by the Company would be accepted by Nasdaq or would be successful in maintaining the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market for its common stock. Any such failure may impact the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s access to the capital markets.
Talking Parenthood with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon
What happens when a wrestling fan meets Triple H and Stephanie McMahon from the WWE? They talk parenting of course.
For those of my readers that don’t know, Triple H is one of the biggest stars to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. With his intimidating and fierce character and win at all cost mentality, he rose to the top of the wrestling food chain and held the championship title 13 times. Along with performing on WWE telecasts, he is the COO of the WWE. Stephanie McMahon is the EVP of the WWE and in charge of creative development. She also happens to be the daughter of Vince McMahon, the owner of the WWE. Stephanie and Triple H are married to one another and have 3 daughters.
I had the pleasure of meeting Triple H and Stephanie at an event for Milk Mustache in NYC. After watching Milk Mustache’s new ad campaign, I got to step into the ring with them. The on air persona of these two is quite intense. On TV, they are ruthless, mean, and difficult to work with; you don’t want to be on their bad side. In real life, they are ruthless, mean, and difficult to work with. I’m kidding. I have no idea how they are in real life. I met them for a few minutes, so how am I supposed to know what they’re really like? I don’t believe everything I read on the internet, and neither should you… Except on this site. You should always believe what you read on this one.
The first thing I thought as I shook their hands was, “Triple H’s neck is huge!” And I couldn’t help but be put at ease by Stephanie’s calm and humble demeanor. After mentioning briefly my displeasure in the beat down they gave Daniel Bryan (my kids’ favorite wrestler) the previous weekend, I jumped into our parenting discussion.
Since the event was about promoting health eating habits, I asked the two about the Helmsley-McMahon family’s eating habits. My family travels a lot and we have a difficult time eating healthy when on the road, but Triple H reminded me that you can find milk in every hotel and you can get plenty of your protein by drinking it. He also suggested staying away from fatty foods, eating a healthy serving of fruits and vegetables, and not taking the easy way out by eating a breakfast burrito type of food.
After talking about healthy eating on the road, I turned the question to their breakfast table at home. I looked at Triple H and asked what he serves his daughters when time is short in the morning, and he motioned for Stephanie to answer and she jumped right in. I expected to hear that they had a nanny or maid that set out their food for them each and every morning and I was waiting for it. Then Stephanie smiled like she completely understands what it is like to have to get kids up and off to school. Of course since it was a milk event, she brought up the importance of drinking milk with breakfast, but also planning ahead and eating fruit and healthy cereals.

WWE superstar Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon got all Million Dollar Baby this week in NYC -- training with the guy who taught Hilary Swank how to box for the Oscar winning movie ... and TMZ has the footage.
It all went down at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn, where the couple strapped on the gloves for “Protein Fight Club” – a campaign to promote milk.
The guy putting them through the paces is Hector Roca – who famously trained celebs like Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo and Jennifer Lopez.
Roca tells TMZ … HHH and SM trained for about an hour doing basic training techniques – with Stephanie showing some real flashes of promise in the ring.
As for HHH -- "Boxing is not really his sport."

Let's think about this. The man doesn't want to punch his wife in the face and that means he isn't good at boxing. Ok......
