Jack asks Sid if he has changed his mind on going to TNA now that Hulk Hogan is in the company. Sid says that it is more appealing to him, but there are some things that he has heard that do not interest him. Sid mentions that WWE will be the number one place that he would want to go to. Sid talked to Johnny Ace and said that Johnny didn’t have anything going on for him. Sid hasn’t been keeping up the WWE product.

Sid talks about Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg. Sid knows that Vince McMahon took one look at Goldberg and knew that their was money to be made.

A caller asks if Sid still believes that women shouldn’t be in the ring. Sid stands by what he said and believes that women do not sell tickets to the shows. Sid does believe that there is a spot for the girls and mentions the Nitro Girls. Sid says they aren’t going to find a Sherri Martel or Moolah. “You go to a football game and see the cheerleaders, but you don’t want to see them play football”.

Sid and Lord Humongous leave on that note.

— As a result of his participation in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania XXVI, Kane broke Bret Hart’s record of most consecutive WrestleMania matches with thirteen. However, it should be noted that Kane’s bout at WrestleMania XIX aired during Sunday Night Heat rather than the actual pay-per-view, so technically, he doesn’t hold the streak for most consecutive WrestleMania pay-per-view appearances.

— While WWE did not want its talent visiting the Ring of Honor or Dragon Gate events held in Phoenix last weekend, some showed up at the ROH shows discreetly.

— Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart attended the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony this past weekend.

— The Miz noted on his Twitter account that he attended Star Magazine’s “Young Hot Hollywood” party last night.

— The general feeling among those in WWE is that Shawn Michaels is sincere about his retirement. While no one is ruling out the possibility of Michaels working a match or two down the line, many feel he believes he worked his final match on Sunday.

During his farewell speech on Raw, he acknowledged there being a temptation to return to the ring but that he was going to do everything in his power to make sure it doesn’t happen. With that being said, many feel he will ultimately give in and return for at least one more match.

— WWE.com has added former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle to its Alumni section. You can view her profile at the following link.

It’s worth noting that Michelle paid a visit to her former employer two weeks ago when the company was in Los Angeles for a SmackDown taping. She had not been backstage at a WWE event since her departure from the organization last year.

— Today marks the twenty-five year anniversary of WrestleMania.

“The Expendables” Movie Trailer With Steve Austin (VIDEO)

Staff

Here’s the new trailer for upcoming action movie The Expendables (in theaters August 13) — starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Steve Austin, Jet Li, Randy Couture and many more big names. Movie synopsis from IMDB.com below the video:
Expendable: capable of being sacrificed in order to accomplish a military objective.

THE EXPENDABLES is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things arent quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers.

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as removing those hard to get at stains. The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang (Jet Li), a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons.

When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine mission: overthrow General Gaza (David Zayas), the murderous dictator of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra (Giselle Itie), a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe (Eric Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Steve Austin). When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. And to perhaps save a soul: his own.

Warning: This article contains a big *SPOILER* for Friday’s WWE SmackDown

Austin wrote: “sounds too soon to me. the kid does have a bright future though.”

Following up on Monday’s WWE RAW & TNA iMPACT! ratings …

Jim Ross Blogs About HBK's Retirement & WrestleMania 26

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can (and should) read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. In this long entry, Ross talks about WrestleMania 26, Shawn Michaels’ retirement and more. Some highlights:

Michaels vs. Undertaker II: “The highlight of the evening was Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels which was obviously the match of the night. I’ve answered a few emails regarding this matter and it is obvious that I would have loved to have broadcast this bout but that wasn’t in the cards. At least I was in Phoenix and saw the event live and was then able to spend significant time with both HBK and with Taker after the event in private settings. Those experiences became my Wrestlemania Moments.”

Update On JR’s Health & Future in WWE: “As for me, life is good and I am healthy and happy. For those that have erroneously written or assumed that the reason that I did not announce at WM26 was because of health concerns, that assumption is incorrect, I’m happy to say. Broadcasting wrestling in WWE is likely history for me but there are many other areas to which I can contribute in WWE and those options, among others, will be weighed over the next month.”

Shawn Michaels’ Retirement: “I do think that Shawn will call it a day after losing his retirement match Sunday. Shawn has been blessed to have earned a great deal of money over the years and especially since he returned from an approximate 4 year hiatus due to lingering back issues. Unlike many wrestlers who retire, HBK doesn’t have to worry about financial or legal issues and will be able to be essentially a full time dad to his two, young children which is an amazing blessing.”

“Shawn’s farewell message Monday night on Raw was from his heart and not something that he read on a TelePrompter. What fans saw Monday night was legitimate, organic TV from arguably the greatest all around, in ring performer, certainly of his generation, and perhaps of all time. I sincerely appreciated Shawn’s shout out to me on Raw which was, symbolically, a fitting end to my own Wrestlemania tenure.”
