Terrible news hit the Angle family this weekend, as Kurt Angle’s brother David has been charged with homicide.
David Angle, 62, is currently in the Alleghany County jail awaiting arraignment on the charge, Lt. Andrew Schurman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Angle’s wife was found dead in their Dormont residence on Sunday morning. Paramedics and police responded to a domestic disturbance call at around 6:24am local time to find Donna Angle unconscious and not breathing.
David Angle told police that he rejected an offer for alcohol from Donna, which resulted in a huge argument. He claims that Donna attempted to kick him, and he responded by grabbing her arms, placing his foot on her chest and pulling back. She then reportedly lost consciousness and never woke up, despite his claims that he tried to revive her.
Kurt Angle’s manager, David Hawk, issued the following statement to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
“Due to the situation, Kurt would appreciate if you can honor his family’s request for privacy at his difficult time.”

Ryder wrote the following on his official Disqus account:
“Just dropping by for a quick hello. No questions, been a long weekend of house shows and I have an early flight. We had three good shows. Everybody worked hard and fans were entertained.
First night we had 850, 500 in Morgantown, and 750 in Belle Vernon. For our return to the road after several months we were happy with the turnout and hope to build on those numbers with shows in Beckley, Salem, Thibodaux, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Biloxi.
Been reading some of the comments and some of you guys need to turn those frowns upside down! :) We may not be announcing things on a time line you want us to, but we have some good things coming and will make announcements once we have finalized the things we are working on.
We are working on everything from how and where we promote house shows, to how we handle merchandise and photo opportunities at the shows, to looking at new talent, etc etc.
Don’t join the doom & gloomers who find joy in constantly predicting our demise. We’re not going anywhere anytime soon, and we are still a strong number 2 in the United States – nobody else is close. If you will be in the Charlotte area please join us for BFG. If not, please watch the PPV. Thanks for your continued passionate support of TNA. Good things are going to happen soon.”
It looks like former WWE Superstar Carlito could be returning to WWE in the near future, according to former WWE creative team member Court Bauer and Mexican wrestling Konnan, both of whom broke the news on their MLW Radio Show.
WWE has been looking for a Hispanic star to help expand into that market, and Carlito could be the guy they are bringing in to attempt to fit the bill.
Carlito was released from WWE back in 2010 after violating the WWE Wellness Policy and refusing to go to rehab. His last WWE television appearance was at the WWE Hall Of Fame induction ceremony in 2014, where his father Carlos Colon was inducted.
Carlito has stayed busy in recent years, working primarily for his fathers World Wrestling Council (WWC) promotion in Puerto Rico, as well as other independent events.
WWE Superstar Roman Reigns recently spoke with The Caller Times to promote this coming Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown television taping in Corpus Christi, Texas. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On his feud with The Wyatt Family: “I’m just trying to get out of the swamp. The goal is to take down this Wyatt Army. I don’t think it’s going to end any time soon. If the Wyatts keep adding people, then me and (Dean) Ambrose will continue to break heads.”
On feeling blessed: “You don’t really hear it enough, but I got to thank God for everything. I feel really blessed with the opportunities.”
On facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31: “Just the moment alone makes it the best opportunity (and) the best night I’ve ever had.”
WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated his official blog with his thoughts and opinions on a number of topics. Below are some of the highlights.
On whether or not WWE will buy the TNA tape library if they go out of business: “First, I hope that TNA does NOT go under but if they do I could easily see WWE buying their library for the WWE Network.”
On The Dudley Boyz back in WWE and if they should be inducted: “The Dudley’s are a HOF worthy team who can still go in the ring and can help the younger teams a great deal which is their greatest asset in today’s WWE IMO.”
On “enhancement matches” in today’s WWE: “Enhancement matches still have a place in the biz if used judiciously and in a timely manner.”
On his biggest concern for the industry today: “The development of legitimate, new main even stars with staying power.”
On The Iron Sheik’s tweets: “The Sheik doesn’t do is own tweets. The Magen brothers do it and do an entertaining job.”

There are some unusually long odds in at two different sports books for tonight’s WWE Night Of Champions pay-per-view. Usually the long odds, which come in when the late “smart money” comes in, isn’t until approximately an hour or so before the start of the show.
However, when the odds are very long, in more than 95 percent of the cases in recent years, the winners have been correct.
With that being said, below are the latest updated betting odds for tonight’s WWE Night Of Champions pay-per-view:
Stardust & The Ascension were 135-to-1 favorites.
Dolph Ziggler was a 135-to-1 favorite.
The Dudleys were 45-to-1 favorites.
Kevin Owens was a 45-to-1 favorite.
Charlotte was a 135-to-1 favorite.
The Wyatt Family were 135-to-1 favorites.
John Cena was a 45-to-1 favorite over Seth Rollins
WWE Night of Champions may see a major return tonight according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider. He’s reporting that Kane is backstage at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, the arena housing tonight’s pay-per-view. Kane has been out of action since the July 13th edition of Monday Night Raw at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. That was the show where Brock Lesnar dropped the steps on his ankle and Seth Rollins then stomped on it to turn Kane babyface.
During Kane’s last few weeks on TV, they made a point of having Paul Heyman repeatedly refer to him as “The Undertaker’s baby brother.” That seemed like foreshadowing that Kane and The Undertaker would reunite soon, though with Undertaker still programed with Brock Lesnar exclusively, that seems less likely right now.
While he was away, Glenn “Kane” Jacobs was filming the WWE Studios film “6:42,” which is the same movie that Dolph Ziggler was filming during his most recent hiatus. WWE.com describes the plot of the movie as follows:
Ray Fitzpatrick (WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler) is a tough as nails narcotics cop working the beat in Los Angeles. After a drug bust goes wrong, Ray is forced to shoot his own partner, leading to his suspension from the police force. Before you know it, Ray is dragged right back into the thick of it when a mysterious package arrives at the station addressed to him.
The package leads Ray and his colleagues to an encrypted website where an unidentified kidnapper broadcasts a threat to Ray and the entire police force. The kidnapper, it turns out, is holding a young boy hostage and unless the police department can come up with a $2 million ransom, he’ll set off a time-bomb strapped to the child’s chest.
The department, led by Lt. Cronin (WWE Superstar Kane) comes up with the payoff and Ray is tasked as the bagman. When the handover goes down, Ray is forced to shoot and kill the kidnapper before he can set off the bomb and kill the child.
With 6 hours and 42 minutes left before the timed explosive detonates, Ray and Internal Affairs agent Julia Baker (Katharine Isabelle from “See No Evil 2”) race against time to find the now deceased kidnapper’s hidden lair and save the child before it’s too late.
– Fed up with some WWE fans on social media, Renee Young posted the following rant on her Instagram account this afternoon.
“So I deleted my last post, due to an insane amount of wild comments, so here’s all I have to say.
“I really wish people could focus on more important things in their own lives rather than stay up way past your bedtimes on a school night and try and tear down other people. It’s exhausting and it’s stupid and it’s so sad.
“I understand that most of these comments come from teenagers that compare high school stories to real life, but grow up. And if you are an adult, you should be ashamed of yourselves for behaving like a maniac because you “think you know who these people are”.
“You make social media a horrible time, and turn into a forum for a roast. TV is not real life. Period.”

WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley took to social media recently after watching Apollo Crews (Uhaa Nation) in action on NXT television. Foley wrote the following on Facebook.
“DID I JUST SEE THAT? That’s what I kept asking myself while catching up on ?NXT? last night, and seeing Apollo Crews in action. While the road to stardom to ?WWE? can be paved with roadblocks – both physical and psychological – I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see this man playing a major role on WWE Raw, ??Smackdown? and PPV for years to come.”
Additionally, Foley also responded to fan feedback on Crews in the comments on the post. Below is what Foley added:
“I think the major consensus is this guy is a rising star, and if a few breaks fall in his favor, the sky seems to be the limit for him in WWE. As is usually the case, finding the right opponents, and creating memorable programs – as opposed to having a good series of random matches – is the key to really breaking through in sports entertainment.”
– CM Punk and AJ Lee are starring in a movie together. According to mbnnewsvideoweb.com, the former WWE Superstars will co-star in Hellstorm, an action-horror motion picture. The plot is as follows:

– NXT Women’s Champion Bayley will be part of WWE’s upcoming tour of the United Kingdom in November. She is advertised for the Nov. 8 show in Liverpool, England and the Nov. 12 event in Newcastle.

All week, there’s been a noticeable pattern in Donald Trump coverage from mainstream and semi-mainstream media: Linking his theatrics and showmanship on the presidential campaign trail to the theatrics of pro wrestling. As you may remember, Trump has been involved with WWE on and off for over a quarter century, first by paying a site fee to host WrestleMania IV and V and his Atlantic City casino. In 2007, putting his hair against Vince McMahon’s at WrestleMania 23 led to the most bought WrestleMania worldwide in traditional pay-per-view history. Later, he did a brief angle where he bought the Raw brand and finally went into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
The latest link comes from TMZ, who talked to Virgil of all people about Trump. They wrote that he said “he met Donald at WWE events in the ’80s and ’90s, and claims the business mogul picked his brain for tips on being a great showman.” TMZ also quoted him directly as saying that “People like the spectacle. People want to see confidence. He is confident just like a wrestler. […] All people want to know is that they can pay the bills and live a good life. They want confidence they can eat.”
Trump got in on it himself after CNN’s Republican debate Thursday, saying that “Vince McMahon would’ve loved it, because that was a WWE kind of a thing, Actually a couple of them came up and they said, ‘you know what Donald—can I hit you so that I can get a little bit more time?’’ Because some of these guys, I felt badly—a lot of them are friends of mine and they got, they got no air time last night.”
Back on Monday, Judd Legum of ThinkProgress tried to figure out Trump’s theatrics by putting them in the context of French philosopher Roland Barthes’ famous essay about pro wrestling. He cited quotes like this one:
It is obvious that at such a pitch, it no longer matters whether the passion is genuine or not. What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself. There is no more a problem of truth in wrestling than in the theater.
Given the type of statements and bombast that are getting Trump attention, this probably won’t end any time soon.
Kevin Owens spoke with Slam Wrestling this week to promote Friday’s WWE live event in Montreal. The former NXT Champion covered a number of topics, including life on the road with WWE, facing Finn Balor in the main event of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn and much more.
Owens made a a huge impact earlier this year when he made his WWE TV debut by destroying John Cena on RAW. The two would go on to have a 3-month blood feud that saw Kevin Owens defeat John Cena clean in their first encounter before losing the next 2 matches to the former United States Champion. Many fans were critical of how the rivalry played out, worried that Owens’ character would be damaged after making such a strong start and then getting ‘demoted’ to the mid-card after working with Cena.
Owens calls the naysayers “delusional” and feels that he showed fans exactly what he’s capable of moving forward. He told Slam Wrestling:
“It definitely helped me working with Cena and anybody who thinks the opposite is delusional. When you worked with him on Raw and on PPV, how this can be bad? Whatever people said about me losing two matches out of three, at the end of the year, fans will remember the quality of the matches and how great these matches were way more than who won and who lost.”
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently appeared on WrestleZone Daily and stated once again that he’d love the chance to get back in the ring and he’s ready to go at a moment’s notice. Flair said:
“If I wanted to wrestle I can wrestle. If they wanted me to get slammed off the top rope by Sting next week, I can do it. I’m ready to go.“
The Nature Boy also talked about his longtime rival Sting finally making it to the big time in WWE. Flair called Sting the nicest guy in the world and talks about Sting joining the WWE Hall of Fame when his current run is up.
“I love Sting, he’s a great guy. He’s a wonderful person and a big part of my life. I’m not surprised he’s in the WWE. I encouraged him to go years ago. He deserves it for all his hard work. Let me tell you something, there is not a nicer person in the world than Sting. Steve Borden is the nicest kid in the world. Whatever he is getting he deserves. You know, everybody, kinda like me, you don’t want to make the move, you’re in a good place, making money… but there is nothing like working for the WWE. He wants to have a couple more matches and be in the Hall of Fame, which he deserves. He’s a great kid, a great father and just a wonderful person.”
Former ROH Champion Homicide spoke to to John and Chad of The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling this week to give his take on his last Impact Wrestling run and what went wrong with the BDC. He also takes us all on a journey back to his intense rivalry in ROH with Steve Corino as well as the CZW vs. ROH feud which culminated in a huge POP that nearly blew up Ring of Honor. We also find out from Homicide how he aspires to be a trainer of the stars of the future and how he feels that he can offer a lot to WWE NXT from a coaching capacity. Here are the highlights:
Becoming a trainer post retirement and his next run being his last: “I think I would bring back what professional wrestling was supposed to be like. I know it’s sports entertainment and it’s about marketing and I would bring none of the cookie cutter, I would bring realistic out there and people could say I don’t know if this is real or fake. When I trained I trained like the way Fit Finally and Steven Regal wrestled, but I don’t do none of that stuff on TV or on the Independents. But now it’s different as I make my comeback, I’m changing my style. But I would teach them to be aggressive, to have guts and not to quit and just be the best. I’ve got so much knowledge and so many ideas that I could bring. I’ve been telling people on the Independents to look for the hard camera and not just look to the left or the right, there’s a reason why. It’s little things like that and I think I’m good with it and I’m very confident that I could be one of those big time scouts, agents or whatever. I’m going to be one of those guys in the future. First I’m going to have my last run and my comeback and then afterwards I am going to go behind the scenes.”
What went wrong with TNA and how did it change over the time: “The first time I went there it was pretty awesome. The staff, the camera crews and the people who write the books but when Hogan and Eric Bischoff came in everything just changed. I was one of those guys that was like when if you’ve ever seen the old Dave Chappelle sketch “When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong” well I was one of those guys who kept it real but sometimes in professional wrestling, especially corporate wrestling you need to play the games. Meaning sometimes you have to be quiet and sometimes you need to not say things. I would just outburst and didn’t care. I didnt care if I got fired. But when I did get released it felt like freedom and like I was a slave, almost because when Hogan and Eric Bischoff came in it was like everthing was different and a lot of people were scared of losing their jobs. When I got released it was like I got woken up I had people like The Dudley Boyz, Konnan and my teacher Manny Fernandez teaching me about the game about corporate wrestling and how it really is. I look back and say maybe I made a mistake just going out there and I didn’t care. Now, I am getting older and the way the wrestling industry is right now you need to keep you job and you’ve got to be quiet and just have to play along.”
Has he heard from TNA since his last run: “I’ve got respect for TNA. Even though if they are doing bad because I don’t hear anything from them anymore. If they are doing good or bad, I’ve got respect for them because I had a lot of fun with those guys.”
The BDC (The Beat Down Clan) and the calamity that led to the end of the group: “Me and MVP and Low Ki go way back. We love the Wu Tang Clan, the Japanese culture of wrestling even anything Jiu-Jitsu. I made a joke and said we were like the Wu Tang Clan of pro wrestling and that joke became something. Myself, Samoa Joe, MVP and Low Ki just got together with the blue print of it and we knew we were different and we spoke to the management of TNA. Suddenly things were not going well. I got injured, I had a bad shoulder since my Ring of Honor days. Then Samoa Joe had the “guys from Connecticut”. The WWE was looking at him and they gave him a great offer. So, so many things just came out. When things got a little more hectic we had our good friend Kenny King (who I think is the most underrated wrestler right now) and we brought my former LAX partner Hernandez from Lucha Underground coming back to TNA and still things didn’t go very well so we just broke it off. But we feel in spirit that we are the Beat Down Clan inside the locker room of course. But we wanted to make this bigger and so big that we would go to Japan and face The Bullet Club because that is the hottest faction right now in Pro Wrestling.”
A dream feud of The BDC vs. The Bullet Club and who would Homicide love to face: “I love AJ Styles, I faced AJ Styles so many times and actually him with Christopher Daniels had great feuds with LAX. The Young Bucks are guys that are just keeping it real and I love them. But, I would say Tonga, the face paint, I know his brother and I actually trained with him at the Dudleys school in Kissimmee, Florida. He is very talented and I’d like to face him because I think he is the one who is going to break through. After AJ, The Young Bucks and all the guys in the group I think Tonga is the one who is going to break through it all. Homicide also gives extreme detail about his feuds in Ring of Honor, the intense rivalry with Steve Corino, how ROH has changed since he first debuted with the company, heat with Dan Maff, Winning the X-Division title, his love of baseball and how his John Sterling Home Run Call would sound.”
