Waltman also said that he didn't have a problem saying no to bad ideas when he returned to the WWF in 1998, and thinks that talent today should speak up when given bad angles.
"Don't get me wrong, there were times when I was selfish. I didn't let anybody walk on me when I came back to WWF. I was more equipped to say 'I'm not f--king doing that, that sucks.' Guys need to start doing a little more of (that). I might get heat for saying this, but they need to start saying that," Waltman said.

After more than 30 years of speculation, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's homicide case could be settled in as few as four months.
A Lehigh County judge on Tuesday set March 22 as the trial date for the famed pro wrestler, and also reminded the family of the victim, Snuka's girlfriend Nancy Argentino, that there's a gag order in place.
Snuka's attorney, Robert J. Kirwan II, complained that Argentino's sister has been posting links to newspaper stories about the case on her Facebook page.
Snuka, 72, was charged on Sept. 1 with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in Argentino's May 1983 death.
The trial is expected to last about a week, the lawyers told Judge Kelly L. Banach.

Figured that might be useful for TPWW's California crew.

Dreamer's House of Hardcore organization, which has been using TNA talent, ECW talent of the past, and some name independent talent, has announced an April 16 show at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The show will be a combination of a wrestling show and an Icons Of Wrestling convention at the same building.
Tickets will be going on sale tomorrow for the event, but no names have been announced yet.

From what I've read, Tokyo Sports awards lean more towards casual or mainstream in terms of importance. Okada got the MVP because he's Japan's top star and not because he had the best year while Tenryu getting an award was more for legacy reasons than match quality.
