Former WWE star Charlie Haas announced he was officially retired tonight in Asheville, NC following what appeared to have been his farewell match for Ring of Honor. Haas cut a promo before the match putting over the ROH roster before losing to Jeff Louis Neal, an independent wrestler based out of the Carolinas. On his Twitter account, Haas wrote, "Officially retired. No match against @Sheltyb803 nxt week NYC. Time to be a full time dad and husband. I've turned my spandex in for scrubs. Thanks to all the fans throughout the years. I love you all. Stay safe and God bless. WGTT will always be a top Tag Team, forever."
At the house show titled " WAR " . He talked about he's best friends are gone ( Russ Haas,Umaga,Lance Cade). Also he said f*ck yourself to Kevin Kelly nearly 10 times before the match. And he was crying...
After match,he cut a promo without mic,he puts over the ROH Locker room,and he insulted Kevin Kelly,Delirious and Nigel McGuinness.
WTF ?
Edit :
Quote
I just left "War" in Asheville, NC. After returning from the restroom I heard a loud yelling from behind the curtain. It was Haas yelling at Grizzly. After a lot of "F bombs." Haas hit Grizzly Redwood in the face. Steen helped walk Redwood to the bathroom and hes was bleeding from his face.(Keep in mind this was all behind the side of the curtain while a match was going on.) Later Haas came out and started "shooting". He said something about Delirious booking and many other things. He also yelled at Kevin Kelly a few times during the match and said something like, "Fuck Nigel" towards Kevin Kelly during a headlock. After the match there was a guy waving him back but he didn't want to get out of the ring and started shooting again and then thanked the fans.
- There has also been talk about Mark Henry leaving WWE after WrestleMania 29.
Word now is that WWE and Henry are on the same page. Officials are very happy
with Henry's work since returning and he will most likely staying with the
company.
Why Vince Is Pushing Fandango, Jericho & Henry's Futures Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/02/2013 at 09:11 AM
- Fandango is getting a spot on WrestleMania 29 because the character is Vince McMahon's new pet project. Vince is said to be a big fan of the gimmick and the arrogance that comes with it. The idea at WrestleMania 29 is for Chris Jericho to make the Fandango character stronger. Vince is really behind the success of Fandango.
Regarding Jericho's WWE status, the two sides are talking about what he will be doing with them in the future. He was originally scheduled to finish up at WrestleMania. The belief within WWE is that Jericho and WWE will continue to have a part-time relationship.

WWE Spoils SmackDown Segment with Ryback & Henry Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/27/2013 at 09:00 AM
- As we've noted, Mark Henry and Ryback competed in a weight-lifting competition at last night's SmackDown tapings to hype their WrestleMania 29 match.
WWE's website has spoiled the segment and announced that Henry and Ryback broke the NFL record for 225-pound bench press with 53 repetitions each. The previous record of 51 reps was set by Justin Ernest at the 1999 NFL Combine.
WWE also revealed that before Ryback could break the new record with 54 reps, Henry attacked him and pushed the bar down on his neck.
- We've noted before how WWE was in negotiations with former Divas to return at
WrestleMania 29 but we likely won't see any returns because the two sides
couldn't agree on contracts. It was reported that some Divas in WWE pushed for
Maria Kanellis to be taken out of the WrestleMania match plans. Word now is that
the former Divas who were in negotiations to return are the ones that pushed for
Maria to be taken out of the plans. No word yet on which Diva requested it but
apparently they were upset at some comments she made after leaving WWE.
TNA Wrestler and Aces and 8's leader Bully Ray sat down for an interview with
Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald on a number of issues. In the interview,
Bully teases the possibility of more members in the Aces and 8's.
In
an update to an earlier post, TNA Knockout Madison Rayne and her husband has
revealed the gender of their child. The couple is expecting a baby girl. We also
noted here
that Madison may be returning to Impact after having her child, opposed to
retiring. Madison has said that she will return to the company if their is still
a place for her. She teased that she would like to hold the role 'Knockout VP
Incharge', which is currently held by Brooke Hogan. Madison breifly held the
role in 2011, before being demoted by the then General Manager Sting.
- As noted earlier, Ric Flair had to leave RAW this evening and
was briefly hospitalized before heading home to a hospital in Charlotte. Flair
was sent to the hospital for complications from a blood clot. Flair didn't
wrestle for All Japan back in January due to a blood clot in his leg.
WWE medical staff took a look at Flair's leg this afternoon and
immediately made the decision to pull him off the show and send him to the
hospital. Flair was examined at the hospital and advised to return home to
Charlotte for further treatment.
Flair was scheduled for a segment with
Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler that would have seen them discuss John Cena vs. The
Rock at WrestleMania 29.
- As noted earlier, Ric Flair was scheduled to appear on tonight's
RAW and had been at the arena in Philadelphia since mid-afternoon.
Flair
was described as not looking healthy and F4Wonline.com reports he was taken to
the hospital. Reports now are that Flair has left Philadelphia and is headed for
a hospital in Charlotte.
We have two RAWs left before Wrestlemania, and the WWE really has to step up
their game. The Rock will be there tonight, so I would expect the Rock/Cena
program to get the majority of the attention tonight. Sit back and enjoy!
Heyman to Punk: TOUCHDOWN
CM Punk came out with Paul Heyman carrying the urn. Heyman threw a pass with
the urn to Punk in the ring from the apron. Punk said everyone says the
Undertaker cant be beaten at Wrestlemania. They say no one can stop the
Deadman. But Punk said they dont know what they are talking about. But they
are irrelevant. Punk said everything should have ended at last years
Wrestlemania, with Undertaker, HHH and Shawn Michaels walking into the sunset.
But Taker had to come out on Punks show and point at his sign. Punk said the
urn means nothing to him and threw it on the ground. He said he knows he will
beat The Streak and he has something Taker wants. And Taker is at a
psychological disadvantage. Punk said Taker could have fought any other man and
had his Streak continue, but he had to choose Punk. And Punk is the one to end
the Streak. Punk said at Wrestlemania, the Undertakers perfect record will Rest
in Peace.
Suddenly the lights went out and Taker went to town on Punk, landing multiple
punches in the corner before Punk escaped with the urn.
Segment Analysis: Very strong opening. Punk made up for kind
of a weak promo from last week. Punk sounds confident when he speaks about
breaking The Streak. And Taker, in the limited time he was out there, looked
good and in wrestling shape. Of course, there is a difference between landing
some punches and working a 20 minute match, but it looked promising.
Survey Says: 4/5
Oh NOW You Want To Build The Undercard Of Wrestlemania
Fandango came out for a match, but Chris Jericho came out and jumped him.
Jericho got the upper hand and Fandango bailed. Great way to give heat to a
match that needed it.
Dolph Ziggler came out for a match against Chris Jericho. Jericho had the
upper hand early before Ziggler caught him with a kick to the chest. Jericho
grabbed Zigglers legs and he went for the Walls, but Ziggler pushed him away.
Ziggler caught a Y2J elbow and then a crossbody for two. Dolph had control back
from break with a headlock. Jericho countered with a nearfall but got back up
and ate a dropkick. Dolph hit a splash in the corner then applied an abdominal
stretch. Jericho got out with a hip toss. Dolph missed a splash and Jericho went
to work. He hit a top rope double axe handle then a running bulldog. Big E got
on the apron and ate a Jericho dropkick, but the distraction allowed Dolph to
hit a DDT for two. Jericho grabbed the ropes to block the ZigZag, and Jericho
applied the Walls of Jericho. Ziggler tapped out.
After the match Big E took out Jericho with his finisher. Fandango came out
after and did a brief dance over Jericho then attacked him. He hit a flying leg
drop off the top rope then said his name.
Segment Analysis: Well, how do you build up to a match that
had little heat in two weeks? That is how you do it. Good showing by Fandango
and this little mini feud has some legs. Another strong match between Dolph and
Jericho as well. Survey Says: 3.5/5
Backstage Matt Striker asked Sheamus about what happened last Friday on
Smackdown. Suddenly, The Shield attacked. Randy Orton came in with a chair but
was eventually stopped. Big Show finally came in to even the odds and The Shield
retreated.
Mark Henry made quick work of the Usos. He hit Worlds Strongest Slams on
both of them and then a splash.
The Mid-Card Champ Didnt Job? What Show Is This???
Alberto del Rio vs Antonio Cesaro. After Del Rio released an armbar, Cesaro
caught Del Rio with an uppercut. Del Rio came back with some clotheslines and a
tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Zeb Colter came out and distracted Del Rio. Cesaro
caught Del Rio with a knee then a headbutt. Del Rio crotched Cesaro on the
turnbuckle then hit a superplex. Suddenly, Jack Swagger attacked Ricardo and
beat on his broken ankle some more. Del Rio made the save and brawled with
Swagger through the crowd. Del Rio was counted out. Del Rio attacked Cesaro and
applied the crossarmbreaker after the match.
Segment Analysis: While other feuds are gaining steam headed
into Wrestlemania, this one seems to be losing some. The crowd just isnt that
into ADR, and they are using Ricardo to get some sympathy heat for him. Del Rio
has really dropped off as a face after a promising start. Survey Says:

More A.J.? Works For Me!
Team Hell No vs the Prime Time Players. Bryan and Kane dominated ONeil early
on. Darren Young came in but Bryan and Kane hit a double hip toss. Bryan hit a
handful of kicks until Dolph, Big E and A.J. came out on the ramp. Young hit a
belly-to-belly on Bryan. Bryan ducked a clothesline and hit one of his own on
Young then tagged in Kane. Kane hit a couple of boots to Youngs face then a
sideslam for two. Titus broke up the count but then was thrown to the outside
where he ate a Daniel Bryan flying knee. Kane hit a chokeslam on Young for the
win.
Match Analysis: Nothing too exciting here. Match was okay.
Cole calling the Tag Title prestigious at the end there was kind of funny.

A Short HHH Promo???
After a video package Triple H came out. He said Brock Lesnar is a destroyer
and can end anyones career in the ring. But he has had a 20 year career where
he has fought every night like his life depended on it. He said he feels no
pressure being backed into a corner. HHH said Brock should fight like his career
is on the line. Hes not there to fight at Wrestlemania, he is there to kick
Brock Lesnars ass. Wade Barrett came out during HHHs exit for his match. He
stared down HHH then HHH kicked him below the belt.
Segment Analysis: Short and to the point. I could live with
that. But what was the point of the whole Wade Barrett thing??? That is why HHH
is terrible as a face. Survey Says: 2.5/5
From One Bad Face To Another
Miz came out to fight Wade Barrett. Miz hit a couple of atomic drops and
Barrett bailed after both, still selling the effects of HHHs kick. Barrett
finally got the upper hand with a knee, then a couple of knees to the gut in the
corner. Miz regained control with a backbreaker. Barrett countered the
neckbreaker but Miz tossed him over the top rope. He hit an axehandle off the
apron. Barrett had control back from break after tossing Miz into the apron
during commercial. Barrett caught Miz with a knee. Miz started fighting back. He
hit his corner clothesline then a top rope axe handle. Miz charged at Barrett
but he went right into the Winds of Change slam for two. Miz went for a Figure
Four but Barrett countered into a pin for two. Barrett hit a kick to the head.
Miz ducked a Bullhammer elbow, and Barrett ended up crotched on the ropes. Miz
applied the Figure Four, and Barrett tapped out.
Segment Analysis: Not a bad match. It seemed obvious Miz was
picking up the win with what happened earlier. But similar to ADR, Miz is just
not getting over as a face. I dont get the crowd chanting boring during the
match. It wasnt that bad. Looks like we are getting these two again at
Wrestlemania. Survey Says: 3/5
Backstage, Kane and Bryan argued that they other wasnt over A.J. Kaitlyn was
randomly standing there and called A.J. crazy, who was behind her. A.J. attacked
Kaitlyn.
The Shield made quick work of The Great Khali, Zack Ryder and Justin Gabriel.
They hit a Triple Power Bomb on Great Khali after the match. Randy Orton and
Sheamus came out. As they were walking down the ramp, Big Show came in through
the crowd. All three took it to The Shield. The Shield retreated. Looks like Big
Show joining Sheamus and Orton is official.
Chris Jericho said Vickie Guerrero made Jericho/Fandango official at
Wrestlemania.
The Rhodes Scholars defeated Tensai and Brodus Clay. The Bellas and
Naomi/Cameron fought on the outside during the match.
Ryback beat 3MB. He hit a pretty impressive Shell Shocked with Jinder Mahal
and Heath Slater both on his shoulders.
A.J. beat Kaitlyn via countout. Kaitlyn missed a Spear on the outside and
went right into the barricade.
Stop Teasing The Turn Already
The Legends for the Rock/Cena Panel: Booker T, Mick Foley, Dusty Rhodes and
Bret Hart. mMick Foley asked John Cena if he is ready to live with the possible
regret of losing to The Rock again at Wrestlemania. Cena said win or lose, it
will change the face of the WWE forever. If he wins he gets redemption. Cena
said if he loses he will be like Donovan McNabb. Despite being the best QB to
ever play for the Eagles, he still gets booed because he didnt win the big one.
He rambled on some more. Rock said when he was 23 he was broke and got his
mattress out of a dumpster. Then he tore his ACL and when he came back, asked
them to give him a mic. Cena became the youngest WWE Champ ever, then lost to
Austin. Rock rambled too.
Bret Hart asked what changed between them and why it doesnt seem like there
is any bad blood. Rock said Cena took his loss like a man, and in 13 days we
will see how Rock handles his. Booker asked Cena why he is going to beat The
Rock at Mania. Cena said because he has too. Rock said to wipe his ass with
that. Cena said Rock didnt beat him, he beat himself. Cena said he made one
mistake, and he knows he is better than The Rock. Rock said to quote another
legend, to be the man, you have to beat the man. And Cena will never be the
man.
Dusty said Wrestlemania is about winning or losing. Dusty asked them what
they really want. Cena said he wants to win the big one and dominate The Rock.
And Rock will realize that he is better, and hand him a loss so devastating that
it will effect him the rest of his life. Rock said the day after Mania, he will
still be WWE Champ and Cena will be eating some Fruity Pebbles. Rock wanted Cena
to prove him wrong, right now. Both men stared each other down. Cena did the
You Cant See Me then went for an AA. Rock got out and hit a Rock Bottom. The
show ended with Cena looking dejected in the ring and Rock standing tall on the
ramp.
Segment Analysis: That didnt start off very well. The way
that first question was going made it look like this segment was going to suck.
But both men picked up their intensity at the end. And despite no one believing
it, Cena sold pretty well that losing to the Rock last year has haunted him
forever. It was a strong showing by Cena, who again continues to tease a
possible heel turn. At this point, I think the WWE is just baiting us with it to
try to get us to believe it is happening. I would still put it at less than 50%,
but they are doing a good job of making us believe it will happen. Was that
enough to get me into this match? Not yet. They have one week. Survey
Says: 3.5/5
OVERALL
I thought that was a strong episode of RAW. The WWE needed to do something to
get people caring about the ENTIRE Wrestlemania card, and they did a good job of
doing that here. The Taker/Punk opening was great. And Taker looked like he was
ready to go at Mania, which was an encouraging sign. They did a GREAT job of
getting some heat and intensity into the Jericho/Fandango program. In one week
they made it seem like a big deal. Ryback and Mark Henry got a decent build.
They did a good job of convincing us that Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show can
be a cohesive unit. But I still think Orton is turning at Mania. The last job
did a good job of adding some heat to the Rock/Cena program that was on hiatus
for two weeks. It was a good job by the WWE building to the biggest show of the
year. Two good matches as well. Im giving it an 8.
