WWE NEWS ON LITA, EDGE, BATISTA, HULK HOGAN'S LATEST FIGHT, ANGLE TO UFC, ROCK AND MORE

WWE.com has a story up about Lita and Edge going to Mexico this week, tying it in to the fact that she trained down there in the 90s.  They went to a show at El Coliseo while they were down there and to not be noticed, they wore lucha masks to the show.  They also have photos up of other WWE wrestlers in Mexico for this weekend's tour.

WWE.com also has a great article by Michael Hayes looking at the passing of Ricky Gibson.  To read it, click here.  They also have an interview with the returning Henry Godwinn that you can read by clicking here.

Mike Informer sent this link to an obituary of Gibson.  We send out deepest condolences out to the family.

Speaking of Mike, I want to take a second to thank him for all the pieces he sends along to the site.

Hulk Hogan has been in the news since he is now lobbying the U. S. House of Representatives to toughen laws governing dog and cock fighting.  I wish him luck with that because it's barbaric what some people do to animals.

James Melton sent this item. ... Dana White from UFC was on Howard Stern 101 on Sirius last night, a guest on the Scott Ferrall show, and was taking calls.  Of course, Kurt Angle came up.  Dana responded to the question of Kurt joining UFC by saying, "Kurt has always wanted to fight UFC, he is ready for REAL FIGHTING!"  The caller also asked if he was worried about his drug problem and the reason he left WWE.  Dana said he was not sure why he left WWE.  He thinks he was physically beat up but really was ready for "Real fighting" now.

Reuters has a Q and A with The Rock today where he talks about his love for gaming.  To read it, click here.

Today's Miami Herald has an interview with Batista today where he promotes tonight's "season premiere of Smackdown" on the new CW network.

Devin Cutting reporting. ... The September 22nd edition of the Cambridge Times newspaper contains an article about Canadian wrestler The 21st Century Fox and the WWE tryout in Ottawa. To read the article, click here.
