Zack Ryder Reveals He Overcame Cancer
Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/25/2013 at 11:25 AM

Zack Ryder reveals in the February 2013 issue of the WWE Magazine that while he was enrolled in high school, he overcame cancer.

“When I was in high school, I had cancer. It’s not something I talk about a lot because I don’t want to turn it into a sympathy issue. To make a long story short, one summer I found a lump on my foot. It was a tumor and was removed, but a year later, the doctors found that it had returned in my lungs. They called the cancer a Synovial Sarcoma. The scars on my chest are from ports they inserted to put medicine into my body. It was scary. I had no white blood cells at one point, and my body couldn’t fight off infection. It was brutal, and I missed an entire year of school, but I’m completely healthy now, and I’ve been cancer-free ever since.”

The February 2013 issue of WWE Magazine is available on newsstands everywhere.

TNA Impact Wrestling Results - 1/24/13
Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/24/2013 at 07:23 PM

Impact Wrestling starts off with a replay from last week’s marriage. Brooke says, “I do.” Bully is asked the same question and he says, “I do!” Right before he can kiss the bride, Taz interrupts. He asks Bully if he really wants to do this. They go back a long time, so he wants to know if he really wants to do this? He then asks if it is hot in here and takes off his coat. He reveals the Aces & 8s vest. The group comes in and attacks and ruins the wedding. Sting tries to come to the aid, but he is no match. They destroy Hulk and Bully. Member hold Brooke to watch the damage. After the video, another video plays showing the moments after the television taping. Bully is dazed while Christian York, Tommy Dreamer and Sting help Hulk Hogan up. Dreamer and Parks come to the aid of Bully. Both can barely walk. Brooke meets up with him as she helps him up the ramp.

The camera shows the announcers Todd Keneley and Mike Tenay.

The camera is backstage and it shows Aces & 8s. It’s a growing group again with so many people. They are in the lot as they start and ride their motorcycles around in circles. The group has a new life in them. The Impact Wrestling video plays showing the top stars in TNA. It ends and we hear music. It’s Aces & 8s. They come through the door by the audience. They make their way through the people as Taz leads the way. They enter the ring and he grabs a mic. There are about 12 people behind Taz. He starts talking. He says people have been asking him all week. He says life is full of opportunities. How can he pass up the machine group? How can he pass the group with an agenda to get revenge? How can he not take direction from a higher power? How can he pass on that? Taz laughs. He starts to mock Brooke and how the show was focused around her. Taz says that wedding was only for them to stand on their faces to take direction from the higher authority. He brings up Dixie Carter. His contract he signed several years ago…well it says that if he gets touched he can own this place. This is Aces & 8s. Deal with the destruction. Brooke and Bully are just small damage, but just wait. Stay out of their way. Their music hits and Taz walks around to the members shaking their hands and talking to them. Other members raise their arms for their new symbol they have.

Jesse and Tara are backstage. Jesse asks Tara if she is ready for a match with Sky? Tara is ready. Jesse shows her a Velvet Sky action figure. Tara asks why he has that. It’s to motivate her. Tara is better than her while Sky likes to show off and kill pigeons while Jesse will be the hottest guy of the year. Tara is now ready and they walk away.

- The current storyline where The Miz is being pushed as the "next Ric Flair" was originally earmarked for Dolph Ziggler. With Ziggler, the idea was going to be more of Flair being his manager but Ziggler was going to be given the Figure Four and doing the same gimmick Miz is doing as a babyface.

Regarding turning Ziggler babyface, it looks like those plans have been put on hold for the time being.

WWE Commentator Issues Apology To TNA Wrestlers

WWE Color Commentator JBL posted an apology on his facebook page to TNA Wrestlers Bully Ray and Devon for categorizing Team 3D as unsucessful as singles wrestlers during the recent airing of WWE Smackdown.

"Anytime you do a ton of tv every week you are bound to make mistakes. I made one this past week on Smackdown and tried to correct it on air but wasn't able to get it done sufficiently, so I want to apologize to my good friends the Dudleys openly-and to all you twitter police so you can get out of Momma's basement and enjoy the weekend.

I was trying to make the point that a lot of tag teams never make it, or try to make it, as singles wrestlers and listed the Killer Bees, LOD and Dudley's (and I think Hart Foundation). Sometimes on air you try to go somewhere entertaining and you get caught and try to correct it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I realized as soon as I said it that both the Dudley's and Hart Foundation had become huge singles stars-I was thinking about my time in WWE where Dudley's had been mainly just a tag team-and one of greatest of all time in what I think was greatest era of tag teams in history when you had Edge/Christian, NAO, DX, Dudley's, APA, LOD, Hardy's and more all at the same time.

Bubba and Devon have been good friends for a long time and I have the utmost respect and love for them, if I had made the mistake on someone else-I would just chalk it up to live TV and not worry about it. But, these guys are good friends and with the Twitter police loving to correct me I thought I would just make it public and explain how it happened.

What I hate more than anything is this becoming an issue and taking away from great work in the ring, as my job is to do my best to tell stories about talent in an attempt to help them get over.

Believe me, it won't be the last time I make a mistake, I fire stuff out rapidly sometimes with references I don't plan on making as a way to try and be entertaining and react to the events in front of me.

However, the Dudley's first day with the APA Bubba hit me so hard with a 2x4 that I owed him a receipt anyway!!!"
