:(

Former ECW talent Jason Knight has been diagnosed with advanced throat cancer. The 51-year old made the announcement on his Facebook page Monday afternoon.

Knight is best remembered as the manager of Justin Credible and the Impact Players in ECW, where he had multiple stints. He won the ECW World Television title in August 1994, a championship he would hold for almost three months.

In addition to working for ECW from 1993 through 1999, Knight also made appearances for WWE and TNA at different points in his career. He was a part of the ECW One Night Stand reunion events as well.

Knight posted "UGH!!! Looks like throat cancer, and advanced. The battle really starts now," on his Facebook page Monday and was immediately flooded with well wishers.

Word is the Network is live in the UK already

After reading that first fact, I thought this had to be fake. But then the others seemed legit.

I am stunned that's real.

that definitely has to be photoshopped.

Why would they make a card for someone that was in the farm leagues?

Something to hand out to little kids at the game.

The card is a fake but they do make baseball cards for guys in the farm system.

B2 :shifty:

Yeah they do I got a Jeter one.

im loling

If Pete ever gets in,then Shoeless Joe should be let in. At least with Joe there is no concrete proof. Pete's shit has proof.

Anyone else catch Wrestling with Death on WGN last night? Some family in Arkansas who runs a funeral home,owns a cattle farm and runs a indy fed. Derrick King,longtime Memphis and TN indy talent has recently married into the family.So the one episode I saw seemed to be based around "Let's scare the black guy from the city by making him do farm things."

Looks like it will be a carwreck but an entertaining one like that Hogan Midget wrestling reality show from years back.

Brock sell good. Cena sell not good.

Im going to watch it at some pint this morning

Why, in 2015, do we still need to point out what Cena doesn't do well, at any avalable moment? It's gotten to the point where I want to see him do things in excruciatingly bad ways, including winning, just to see the melt down reactions on here from certain posters.

And just remember, he only ONE World Title win behind Ric Flair. Woooooo.

Can't wait til he ties Flair.

I'm likely gonna puke the day he surpasses Flair's record.

luckily he still has a bit to go. Flair has held the belt 21 times. WWE likes to acknowledge only 16 of them.

Flair's record should stand forever imho.

Not really.

9 for NWA.
2 for WWE
8 WCW. (7 if you don't count the official switch from NWA/WCW as a title victory)
2 WCW International World Heavyweight Championship (Big Gold Belt)

That's 21 times the heavyweight champion of the World! Woooooooo! He also has a disputed NWA reign that can count as his 10th. There is no logical outcome where you can get 16. It's just 16 because they say it all the time. It's 17 not even including his two reigns in the WWE.

22 times the Heavyweight champion of the world!

Also if the WCW International Title doesn't count than none of Cena's reigns count when he was 1/2 of the WWE's two world champions. Which means he is only a one-time champion.

Thanks for that. Can you please now correct WWE and every other major wrestling entity that only recognises him as a 16 time champion so they know of their mistake also. Thanks.

Nah. They aren't trying to insult fans for taking Ric Flair's 16 title reigns seriously. Woo!

Here's a random Smackdown nugget

All charges on Kevin Nash have been dropped like a Jacknife Powerbomb.

To be fair, the way Cena takes the curb stomp IS pretty ridiculous. I generally like Cena, and even I cringe every time I see it.

Because he's making a new star look dumb by taking his deadly serious finisher like it's a fucking joke.

I wouldn't go that far.

I will go with what Fignuts said, though.

Izod Center is closing so WWE wont be able to do Summerslam there. Wonder where theyll have it on short notice.

Not exactly short notice for Summerslam.

Probably Prudential Center or the Garden

Dirtsheets:

Only affects Canada at the moment.


Some other sheet news include today being the launch for the WWE Immortals mobile game and RAW managed to go up slightly in terms of viewers compared to last week. Also the official reasons why the Elimination Chamber got moved was due to both traveling costs and new arena designs now limit where they can safely hang the cell in the air.

Considering they announced it 3 months ago 10 months in advance im figuring it is short notice. They probably have their tours planned out ahead to coincide with it being in NJ.

Wait.. If they have this lottery special and announce what # everyone will be doesnt that kill the best part of the rumble? There wont be any surprises

I think it's just them drawing the numbers. Are they going to announce the numbers too?

The description says "Join Santino Marella for a unique look at Royal Rumble's most entertaining moments".

So maybe it is just a weirdly named special.
