6. Jeff Hardy Explains His Bizzare Actions During An Indy Event, Booker T Retires Spinnaroonie
As we noted before, former WWE Champion & current TNA wrestler Jeff Hardy showed a bizzare behaviour at a recent indy event, where he started destroying tables and ladders by slamming himself onto them.
Jeff noted that he was just showing what his new gimmick in TNA Wrestling is going to be and below is what he said about the incident during a recent interview with Complex:
“I finished the match with a frustrated breakdown where I’m trying to break a ladder, break tables. Many people hadn’t seen that, so naturally people are wondering ‘what the Hell is wrong with Jeff Hardy? Oh my God, he’s off the wagon!’ And this-and-that. It was nothing like that.”

5. Ric Flair Is Glad That Dolph Ziggler Is Finally Getting A Main Event Push
On a recent edition of The Ric Flair Show, 2 time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair expressed his happiness for Dolph Ziggler finally getting into the main events again, when he became the #1 contender for the WWE Championship on last week’s episode of SmackDown Live. Below is what Flair said:
“I mean, Tuesday night on SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler, man. I mean, he finally got his due again. What a great match that was on SmackDown. Dolph won. Now he goes against Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam. And that match is long overdue for my friend, Dolph. That was really a good match at the end. I watch the entire show. Bray Wyatt coming back means so much to the product. John Cena looked great. And, of course, AJ Styles is off the hook. And I think that the match’s outcome caught everybody off guard, which is really good for TV and good for the company. He had the push before, but sometimes you just get lost in the shuffle.
There’s a lot of talent there. And, of course, the returning Randy Orton was spectacular and when he’s healthy, he’s the best performer in our business right now unless Triple H is working, so I’m so happy for Randy to be back. I think everything’s great!”
