Ringside Review: ‘Hitman’ won’t be at ‘Raw’ anniversary
The “Raw” 10th Anniversary show will air on Jan. 14. All together there will be at least 50 stars on the show, but Bret Hart won’t be.
He has said he has no interest in doing anything with the WWE now, or ever again. No word on who will or won’t be there.
• Jamal, of three-minute warning, was recently arrested for assault and battery at a nightclub in Pensacola, Fla.
The official report states that an off-duty police officer was asked to remove a woman — who was Jamal’s wife — from the club. She refused, and the officer grabbed her to remove her.
Jamal then intervened, yelling obscenities and clenching his fists. The officer then struck Jamal and arrested him. Inside the ambulance, Jamal threatened the officer, two of his co-workers and the officer’s family. The WWE suspended him for two weeks from house shows.
• The Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahon match is still planned for WrestleMania. Hogan has said many times that he wants to come back to the WWE before hanging it up from the ring.
• Look for The Rock to come back as a heel this month.
The WWE would like for a Rock/Goldberg feud in time for WrestleMania, but Goldberg still wants more money than Vince wants to give.
• “Stone Cold” Steve Austin should be back in a few weeks to do battle with Shawn Michaels or Kevin Nash.
• HHH says he loves working with Steiner in the WWE. That was not true in the WCW, where Scott and Rick both had problems with Hunter about their matches.
• Bradshaw just got back from visiting our troops in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Uzbekistan. He has traveled more than 17,000 miles in the last two months on behalf of the WWE.
• Afa Anoia Jr. has accepted a scholarship from the University of Pittsburgh to play football. Jim Ross had been trying to get him to Oklahoma. Anoia’s father and uncle were The Wild Samoans tag team.
