RIP to Iron Mike Sharpe.
Iron Mike passed away and there are no details yet on his passing but he was up there in age. For those of you that may not know, Iron Mike Sharpe was a WWF (then) jobber back in the eighties.

I thought he was older by now for some reason.

He is definately up there in age. He was in his 40's when he was jobbing in the eighties.

WWE Hall Of Famer Sunny has signed on for an adult film, TMZ has confirmed. She’ll be working with Vivid to shoot the delightfully titled ‘Sunny Side Up: In Through The Backdoor’ and you can view the first scenes online at Vivid.

The former WWE Diva told TMZ that Vivid offered her “much, much higher” than the original $100,000 offer.

She’s clearly been in need of money, having recently put her WWE Hall Of Fame ring up for auction on Ebay. With news of her lucrative new porn role, she’s now taken the ring down. However, it may be the case that WWE now considers removing her from the Hall Of Fame. Triple H previously said that Chyna would be difficult to consider for induction due to her porn past.

Maybe they’ll now look at Sunny’s eligibility.

As arguably the first ever diva, Sunny did have an important role to play in pro wrestling history. She was one of the biggest stars at one point in the mid nineties, but was eventually sidelined by the more popular Sable. Amid backstage problems, she ended up leaving the WWF in 1998.

Since then, she’s endured personal problems, eventually ending up resorting to selling Skype video calls. Perhaps her Vivid deal will now give her the sound financial stability to get her life back on track.

Looks like the film was already in the "can", and everything else was just publicity. I wonder if she even got $100k or if that's part of the hype.

Sunny is no idiot, buts she very manipulative and seems to still be fueled by drugs.

At her peak she was something else.

*On the G&O Goodrum said that Sunny was never that famous, lol.

Go to vivid and watch the preview.

I've been on this board for almost ten years.

It's always the same with him and several other posters. There are certain ones you just DON'T take seriously.

No way....Angle is getting up there in age and is plagued by neck injuries. He is very comfortable in TNA working Impact tapings and PPV's only and he's getting big money for it.

i thought there was rumor,,i'm misinformed then,,, i agree he's not capable for long term action..

There has been talk on again/off again for several years about him wanting to rejoin the Fed, or that HHH wants him back, etc.

Kurt's kept out of trouble for a while, now. That was a big issue, I think.
Also, one of the major reasons he left was for a lighter schedule that TNA afforded him.

Personally, with so many older big names that Vince has brought back on reduced schedules/limited appearances, I thought that now might be a good time for Kurt to have that one last WWE run.

Alas, it doesn't appear that way.

Been listening to stories about him JR and a few others. Said Mike was a great guy but severely obsessive compulsive. Would take 2-3 showers before his match a few after. Was also notorious for stealing toiler paper from all the venues....

Kurt Angle reportedly suffered an injury during the first match on the first night of TNA’s current tour of the UK. Angle reportedly looked like he was in “bad shape” following his match with Drew Galloway in Manchester after the first night of the TNA UK tour, which is also Angle’s farewell tour with the promotion. According to reports, Angle suffered a concussion during the Galloway match.

Angle was said to have started feeling better about 35 minutes after the match. He was then checked and cleared by a doctor, and Angle was allowed to take part in another match against Bobby Roode last night. He is still currently set to finish out the tour and face Bobby Lashley tonight in Birmingham. The report does not mention how serious Angle’s concussion was, but hopefully he is doing OK.
