Big Show Possibly Injured At WWE Live Event Today

0

Big Show may have suffered a knee injury at tonight’s WWE live event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, according to multiple correspondents.

Show and Dolph Ziggler teamed up to defeat Braun Strowman and Luke Harper and towards the end of the match, Show landed bad on his knee but did finish. After the bell, he raised his hand with Ziggler but was barely putting any weight on one leg. Show was also seen talking to Ziggler about the injury in the corner and both looked concerned. Show left the ring under the bottom rope and went straight up the ramp to the back while Ziggler celebrated with fans at ringside after the match.

It’s possible Show was just selling but both correspondents noted that it appeared to be more than that. We’ll update more when information comes in.

Ronda Rousey Reaction To Holly Holm Loss, UFC 196 Bonuses, Jose Aldo Taunts Conor McGregor

0

– Last night’s UFC 196 saw one of the most historic nights ever in mixed martial arts. One of the reasons was due to the outstanding performance by new UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate.

Tate has had a long rivalry with former champion Ronda Rousey, who was defeated by Holly Holm in November. On Fox’s UFC 196 post-show, the UFC President Dana White said Rousey won’t be back until October or November and didn’t watch the fight. When Rousey heard the news, she said it was ‘time to get back to work.’

– Nate Diaz’s huge UFC 196 payday got even bigger, as he earned $100,000 for two bonuses. Conor McGregor added $50,000 to his $1 million flat base pay for his part of Fight of the Night, and Miesha Tate $50,000 for Performance of the Night. Nate Diaz also made a $500,000 base with no win bonus for the fight.

– After McGregor’s stunning loss, his foe Jose Aldo challenged McGregor to fight at UFC 200, and trolled Conor.

Shane McMahon Teaser For Monday’s WWE RAW

0

As noted, Shane McMahon will return to WWE RAW on tomorrow’s show from Chicago. WWE says Shane will have a response to Vince McMahon’s recent announcement about his inheritance. They posted this teaser for Shane’s return:

If you’ve been following Shane McMahon on Twitter, you know that he is pulling out all the stops as he trains to face The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania. Shane is leaving little to chance as control of Raw — and in essence, WWE — hangs in the balance on April 3. He’s honing his striking attacks with MMA trainer Phil Nurse, building his strength and conditioning with former WBF competitor Jim Quinn, and even getting a refresher course in the art of hardcore from ECW Original Tommy Dreamer.

But before Shane-O-Mac graces The Grandest Stage of Them All, he’ll be coming to the Windy City for Raw. Now that his father, Mr. McMahon has publicly proclaimed that Shane’s inheritance is also on the line at WrestleMania, what’s going through the mind of WWE’s prodigal son? Did The Deadman’s cold reminder that Shane’s blood will be on his father’s hands inside Hell in a Cell resonate with The Boy Wonder? Regardless, you won’t want to miss when Shane’s Jordans hit the entrance ramp.

Rhyno On Getting Into Politics, Vince McMahon’s Reaction, More

Source: FOX Sports

As noted, ECW Original Rhyno filed to run as a State Representative for his district in Dearborn, Michigan this week. Rhyno spoke to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports about his campaign and why he’s running. You can read the full interview at this link. Rhyno, who is running as a Republican, says he informed Vince McMahon of the decision backstage at a RAW event in December:

“I told Vince, ‘I hope I make you proud.’ He said, ‘You already have.’ He then followed up by saying if there was anything (WWE) can do to help to let them know. He didn’t ask what party I was running for or this and that. The McMahons’ love for their country is just contagious.”

Rhyno also said he’s not backing WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, he’s backing Ohio governor John Kasich. He said:

“I’m not sold on Donald Trump. I think a lot of people might identify me in this race with Donald Trump as a gimmick and this and that. No. Helping people out is a passion of mine. I like Kasich because I think he will reach across the (partisan) aisle and work to get stuff done with give-and-take to make things happen to help people.”

Rhyno says he will be running on a platform that includes improving teacher salaries, road construction and more government accountability with tax dollars. He admitted his campaign, which will be online soon at TerranceGuidoGerin.com, will be grassroots and will rely on volunteers. He says he’s proud of his wrestling accomplishments but won’t be surprised if his opponents try to use it against him:

“I don’t think it will hurt me at all. I think candidates that run against me will try to make fun of it to discredit me so they can win the election, which is understandable. But I want to go out and discuss how we can make this state better, how we can make people’s lives easier and educate the kids.”
