Hillbilly Jim was recently interviewed by Bleacher Report where he discussed his upcoming induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, class of 2018. Below are some highlights of the interview:
On receiving word that he would be inducted into the Hall of Fame:
“I didn’t have that on my mind whatsoever,” Jim told Bleacher Report. “For a moment or two, I was knocked back on my heels. Basically, I was speechless. It was a whole lot for me to digest quickly.”
On his character, Hillbilly Jim:
“It was always a very doable and easy character to step into,” Jim said. “I’m from this part of the country. I know a lot of country people. I know what that translates to. I did the best I could to bring that to the ring.
“It’s a lot like I really am in person. I’m a happy, excitable kind of character. And I just wanted to denote happiness.”
Here’s a clip of Jim with Hacksaw Jim Duggan:

The Young Bucks were interviewed on Sports Illustrated’s ‘Extra Mustard’ section on proving people wrong, losing ‘too sweet’ and the success of ‘Being The Elite.’ Matt Jackson explains how they’ve been proving people wrong.
“We’ve made a career out of working with a chip on our shoulder. Maybe that’s why we work so hard? To prove others wrong? The pool of doubters has thinned in recent years, but it’s definitely still around.”
He continues, commenting on people saying the Bullet Club has peaked and losing ‘too sweet’ was supposed to be the end for them.
“People said our careers were over when the ‘Too Sweet’ hand gesture was taken from us. Now, it doesn’t even feel strange not doing it. People said we only knew how to work one style. Then we switched it up completely. People said Bullet Club had peaked for years now. Yet, here we are, as we continue to help it stay interesting and popular.”
Nick Jackson comments on ‘Being The Elite.’
“I always knew it was going to be big for us, b..

It was previously reported that WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch was recently arrested in New Jersey for being a “fugitive from justice.” According to a new report from Fox News and the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, Sunny is currently facing six charges of contempt — disobedience/resistance. The charges are said to be related to not appearing before the court in two different jurisdictions.
Sunny made a surprise appearance at the 15th anniversary of “Raw” several years ago. You can see footage of that below:

However, there is still no word on the exact circumstances that led to her arrest.
As we previously reported, this is not the first time that Sunny has been in trouble with the law. In January 2017, she plead guilty to several charges, including driving without a license, driving an unregistered vehicle, and operating a vehicle without required financial responsibility (no insurance).
In addition, she was arrested for disorde..

This can’t be good. According to a new report from WrestlingInc, NXT superstar Bobby Fish suffered a knee injury at a Live Event tonight in Indianapolis, Indiana.
He is currently one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions, along with his partner Kyle O’Reilly. You can see them making their entrance at “NXT Takeover: Philadelphia” below:

The two were teaming against Heavy Machinery in an NXT Tag Team Championship match when he suffered the injury. As a result, the official threw up the “X” signal after Fish rolled out of the ring.
Once outside, he began clutching his knee. Medical personnel immediately tended to Fish and he was assisted to the backstage area.
Several fans who were at the show posted tweets regarding the injury:

We haven’t even got to witness ‘WrestleMania 34‘ yet, but it is now being heavily reported by websites such as WrestlingInc and The Inquisitr that we may know the main event for ‘WrestleMania 35.’ It appears the main event for ‘WrestleMania 34’ is set on Brock Lesnar defending his WWE Universal Championship against Elimination Chamber victor Roman Reigns, in a match billed as three years in the making.
Slice Wrestling on Twitter announced that the plan for ‘WrestleMania 35’ is to have the women main event for the first time ever. This match would be Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka. It is unknown who would be the Champion going into the match.

If this does indeed turn out to be the truth, it is interesting to note that we had a ‘WrestleMania 35’ match teased before we had confirmation of the ‘WrestleMania 34’ main event.
It is also interesting to note that Asuka and Rousey are both members of the ‘Raw’ roster while Flair is a mem..

The Mixed Match Challenge has had varied success since WWE created the show for users on Facebook Watch live after ‘Smackdown Live,’ but the Inquisitr has explained what the original plans for the series were. As it stands, the Mixed Match Challenge is a single elimination tournament between teams of both face and heel competitors from ‘Raw’ and ‘Smackdown Live.’ The winning team will be donating money to a charity of their choice.
The initial plan for the finale was to pit Asuka and The Miz up against Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman. Both of these teams represent the ‘Raw’ brand and have significant charities attached to their names.
Strowman and Bliss aim to raise money for Connor’s Cure.

Blink and you’ll miss it. Back in 2016, Goldberg returned to WWE and decided that it was time for one last run. This included defeating Brock Lesnar in a shocking win at “Survivor Series 2016” and then an appearance in the 2017 Royal Rumble. After those performances, next up was a run at another World Title, with Goldberg’s shot coming against Kevin Owens at “Fastlane 2017”.

WWE has posted the full version of Goldberg vs. Owens on its YouTube page. The match, which didn’t even break thirty seconds, saw Goldberg hit a spear and a Jackhammer to win the title, setting up his title match at “Wrestlemania XXXIII” against Brock Lesnar. The match is one of the shortest World Title changes in history and the fastest in Universal Title history. Opinion: I’m still not happy with the way this went down as the same story could have been told between Goldberg and Lesnar without the title being involved. Either way, Goldberg winning the title here may ..

This could be big. One of the big stories coming up for WWE over the rest of the year is where will their home be on Monday nights. WWE has been on the USA Network since 2005 in their current stint with both “Monday Night Raw” and “Smackdown Live” airing on the network. However, a new deal might be coming up that would change things in a very big way.
Raw on USA certainly has its memories.

According to the Sporting News, Fox Sports is now making a push towards the WWE broadcasting rights. The plan would see “Monday Night Raw” broadcast on the Fox network while “Smackdown Live” would air on Fox Sports 1, a cable channel. Formal negotiations can begin in the spring and a decision is expected between May and September of this year. If Fox does acquire WWE programming, it would drop the UFC programming that it currently airs. WWE’s current deal with NBC Universal expires on September 30, 2019 so if the deal takes place, it won’t be kicking i..
