Wrestling News & Wrestling Rumors

- The reason Val Venis hasn’t been on WWE TV lately (well he might not have been anyway) is because he recently underwent shoulder surgery. There was no spontaneous injury, it has been bugging him for years and it was better to go under the knife now during the latter end of his career. He’s expected to take a good 4 month off.

- The Rock did a classy move when he was strangely interviewed by the BBC about Olympic Wrestling yesterday, by praising Kurt Angle.

“I’ve got a good buddy named Kurt Angle who’s just an outstanding wrestler. Kurt won the gold medal in 1996 with a broken neck, he was unbelievable. I’m not kidding, he’d actually broken his neck and still won the gold in his weight class. I’m always blown away by the amount of discipline and hard work it takes for those Olympians to get where they’re at.”

- For those that don’t usually watch ECW there’s a proverbial dream match taking place tonight with the Hardy Boyz reuniting to face the Miz and Morrison. Lets hope there are some good spots. I wonder if the Hardyz will pass the torch to the rookies?
