It should be interesting to see if he recovers at the normal human rate, or the super-human pro wrestler rate.

Supposedly this was the biggest bidding war ever for a film staring the Rock.

Wrestlemania 28, headlined by the first-ever John Cena vs. The Rock bout, was held in Miami in 2012.
The bid was placed back in February and the city is waiting to hear back from WWE.

That would be an incredible addition to our [TNA Impact Wrestling] roster. Women have been an integral part of pro wrestling since its inception. To find a truly talented female wrestler from India would just be a sheer dream."
Carter added that she will have conversations with three Indian female amateur wrestlers who have qualified for the Olympics, after they are over.

Also revealed TNA is currently in talks with actor Salman Khan to become a possible wrestler for the company in the near future.

He is expected to return to action on 6/12 for Revolution Pro in London for a match with Angle.

TNA still stubbornly refusing to do anything that could make them more attractive to new investors. Almost every failed deal ended up happening because TNA refused to do managerial and/or ownership changes needed.

A lot of unscripted things can happen to you inside of a wrestling ring, but the true sign of a professional is the ability to carry on with a show regardless of what goes down. For example, you could break your neck. Or you could sh*t yourself. Either way, the show must go on.
The latter happened to the WWE's Darren Young during a televised match against the Wyatts. During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, he talked about the experience after he was asked to reveal the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to him during his wrestling career. "One of the Wyatt boys slammed me so hard that I sharted my pants," he said, before stating the obvious. "I was so embarrassed. I never wore those tights again.”
