Ik vind de serie steeds gaver worden

In the complete waste of money department, TNA purchased ad space on a half dozen or so billboards, but only in Stamford, CT, including one right next to the WWE offices, with their new insignia and the “Wrestling Matters Again” slogan. You’d think you’d want to spend that money in a city where they are doing one of those ballpark shows this summer, but no, we’re going to show Vince, not realizing that every time Vince sees one he probably breaks up into hysterics. It was like when Calvin Ayre bought this billboard in Las Vegas on the road from the airport to the strip for Bodog Fighting. Yeah, that must have put the fear in Dana White’s eyes every time he saw it.

TMZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM ... and lost control of his vehicle.

Earlier this month, Savage celebrated his 1-year anniversary with his new wife Lynn.

Savage was 58.

Macho Man began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase "Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh."

Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and "collided head-on with a tree."

Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.

Savage's wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision -- but survived with "minor injuries." She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

According to officials, Randy and Lynn were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident.

Cops say alcohol was NOT a factor.

An investigation into the accident is underway.

Macho Man is Insane

@HulkHogan4Real Hulk Hogan
I'm completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we've finally started to talk and communicate

HulkHogan4Real Hulk Hogan
He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he's happy and in a better place and we miss him.

HulkHogan4Real Hulk Hogan
We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one.

HulkHogan4Real Hulk Hogan
I just pray that Randy's happy and in a better place and we miss him.

WZ has received numerous reports that at tonight's TNA House Show event in Amsterdam, NY, Road Warrior Animal and Paul Ellering made a surprise appearance as inductees into the 10th annual Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame along with Nick Bockwinkel, Billy Robinson, JJ Dillon, Dick Whoerle, Larry Sharpe, Ray Apollo, (yes, dressed as Doink, surprisingly) Butcher Vachon, Pete Sanchez, Intelligent Sensational Destroyer and Dominick DeNucci.

As we previously reported, Animal was pulled from this weekend's WWE House Show events in Canada due to the perception that he took a shot at the WWE Wellness Policy during a recent interview.

According to several backstage sources in TNA, Jeff Jarrett and other officials were elated that they "stole" Animal and Ellering away from WWE and feel that they've "one-upped the competition."

For those who are unaware, Road Warrior Animal, real name Joe Laurinaitis, is the brother of WWE Vice President of Talent Relations Johnny "Ace" Laurinaitis, and news of Animal appearing at a TNA live event surely will not sit well with WWE management.

The move by TNA to bring in Animal and Ellering is the second of two recent shots the company has taken at WWE, with the first being the move to purchase billboard space in Stamford, CT, the home of WWE headquarters.

quote:

"Savage's passing follows the deaths of several other prominent wrestlers from the 1980s, including Yokozuna, Ultimate Warrior, Bam Bam Bigelow and Savage's one-time female partner and wife, Miss Elizabeth."

Mick Foley engaged in a Twitter exchange with The Rock regarding their I Quit Match at the 1999 Royal Rumble.

In the famous I Quit match, I handcuffed Mick Foley and bashed his face 14 (times) with a steel chair, The Rock wrote. He bled. I won.

Foley wrote in response to The Rock: Maybe so, but two days later, I trapped The Rock under a pallet of beer kegs to win the WWE strap in an Empty Arena match a/k/a TNA house show.
