• Ex-WWF Wrestler Declared Fit For Trial In Wife’s M-rder Case
Former WWF wrestler Billy Jack Haynes is finally heading to trial for the 2024 murder of his wife, Janette Becraft. After a long delay, a judge ruled in February that the 72-year-old is now mentally fit to face a jury. The trial is officially set to begin in April 2027, according to KATU TV.
The charges stem from a tragic standoff at the couple’s Portland home in February 2024. When police arrived to check on a reported shooting, Haynes refused to come out. It took two hours, a SWAT team, and crisis negotiators to finally get him into custody.
Inside the home, authorities found 85-year-old Janette Becraft dead. The Medical Examiner later confirmed she died from a gunshot wound.
Haynes was charged with second-degree murder and the unlawful use of a weapon. He has pleaded not guilty.
The case has been on hold since May 2025. Back then, a court decided Haynes wasn’t mentally stable enough to help with his own legal defense. He was sent to Oregon State Hospital for evaluation and treatment, a process experts said could take years. Now that doctors have cleared him, the legal process is moving forward again.
• Disco Inferno Reacts To Cody Rhodes Insulting Him On SmackDown
On SmackDown, Cody Rhodes compared Pat McAfee to WCW wrestler Disco Inferno:
“That’s like if Scott Hall and Kevin Nash talked about the third man in the nWo and instead of Hulk Hogan, it was Disco Inferno. Pat — you, stoner, grifter, Logan Paul without muscles, human hat rack, fly by night. You’re going to get your receipt.”
Disco tweeted the following about Cody’s comments:
“If I catch Cody Rhodes on Old canton Rd when I go back to visit my mom, that boy might get a good ol’ fashion Marietta tushy kickin'”
The issues between Cody Rhodes and Disco Inferno date back to 2018. After a fan posted a photo of Cody getting a cut above his eye due to a kick from Kenny Omega in NJPW, Disco tweeted the following:
“Nobody knows how to ‘work’ anymore. They would rather kill each other to get Dave Meltzer to put their match over. That is a problem that needs to be put front and center. Guys are going to keep getting hurt.”
Cody replied:
“Stop. You know nothing. You have drawn 0 dollars. No fan has ever left a show thinking about you. You were lucky to be a juiced up double-lifer ‘over with the boys’ type in an era where you hid in plain sight coasting on others’ success. Couldn’t hang then, can’t get booked now.”
