Jake Hager On Being "Lost In The Mix" In His WWE Run.
One of the members of the newly formed stable "the inner circle" Jake Hager, recently was the interviewee for Sports Illustrated and Justin Barrasso. At one point during the interview, The man formerly known as Jack Swagger was asked about his you guessed it, his WWE run:“I was lost in the mix there [in WWE],” said Hager. “When I look now at guys like Cesaro, guys like Bobby Lashley, they’re just lost. When I look at them, that whole cloud of doom comes right back over me. I’m so glad I’m not in that. It’s something you deal with within big companies, but it’s also about how they treat their talent. They know exactly what they’re doing, and I hate to say it, but it’s on purpose.
“They want you lost in there so they can control you. They don’t control me anymore. Now, I’m finally being portrayed in the way I always should have.”
Good on him for building his star power outside of titan towers whether its on the octagon in Bellator or inside the square circle (get it? Inner circle? Circle?).
I was not a fan of his earlier run from 2009 till like 2013 when he paired up with Zeb Colter and they had very good chemistry and you can't forget the pairing that is Cesaro and Jack Swagger. They were just perfect as a team.

So basically, Rusev saw his wife eating with Bobby Lashley or Bob as The Bulgarian Brute would like to put it, in a restaurant.Rusev stormed in and layed in some lefts and rights to the almighty (don't know if he's still referred that but whatever) which led to the Cleveland police taking Rusev into custody.
Rusev was released by the police department according to WWE even though Lana and Lashley didn't press charges.
The storyline that pisses off most of the fanbase continues.

Another day, another history lesson ingrained in our brain and this time it was about how Booker T's spinaroonie came to be in "The Story Of" YouTube series (shout out to Wrestlezone for the transcript):"The Spinaroonie came from my days as a dancer,” he said when describing the origins of the move. “I was a breakdancer, pop locking days, and back in the days when they had the beat box, and the cardboard box. I never played sports or anything like that, and the Spinaroonie was just something that was just a part of the dance. I remember the first time that I did it in a wrestling ring, I was wrestling in Dallas, Texas. It was my debut there, my brother and I were wrestling a couple of guys, and they didn’t like us too much in Dallas.”
Gangrel On Quitting The Adult Industry.
You read that right. The blood spitting vampire known as Gangrel mentioned his brief stint with the adult industry as a director among other things in his interview with WrestlingINC:"I put a pinky toe in and jumped out real quick because it got me so much heat and negativity that I backed out. I directed one scene but it was a stupid decision. Sometimes with porn, everybody secretly kind of likes it but they publicly shame it. It backfired so I’m gonna stick with what I know in pro wrestling. I might be only somewhere in the middle with wrestling, but at least I know it and love it and can commit to it 100 percent.”
What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.
