Former WWE Superstar Molly Holly denied reports that she will be part of the Women’s Royal Rumble match this Sunday. It was previously reported by PWInsider & Wrestling Observer that she would be in the match but according to Holly she won’t be.

Holly revealed during an interview with Wrestling Inc and that she found out about being in the match online. She said she called WWE about these reports and they informed her that fans were only predicting who would be in the match.

“My friends’ kids were texting me and they’re like, ‘I saw on the internet that you’re gonna be in the Royal Rumble,’” she said. “I was like, ‘I am?! Oh my gosh! Where does it say this?’ So I start looking like, is this like some thing that they just forgot to tell me? So then, I actually called, because I was like, ‘Am I gonna be?’ So then I called the WWE, and I was like, ‘Is this like a thing?’ And they were like, ‘Oh, fans are predicting who’s gonna be in the Rumble.’ I was like, ‘oh, I’m sorry. I’m like embarrassed.’ I’m just a mark who believes everything that’s on the Internet. But, for a second, I was like ‘Ah crap! I don’t have enough time. I need months to prepare!’ But then it’s not even true, so it was nice enough that the fans cared enough to start a rumor. So, that’s cool.”

While speaking with Peter Rosenberg for Rosenberg Radio, Daniel Bryan talked about his retirement from WWE and revealed that he initially refused to retire from WWE when Vince McMahon asked him to do so.

“I get the call from Vince McMahon on a Saturday and I retire on a Monday in Seattle, Washington. And I got a call on a Saturday from Vince McMahon and said, ‘I would like you to retire Monday in Seattle. I just think it would be the best for you,’ that sort of thing. At first, I said, ‘I don’t want to do it.’ And then, I talked to Brie and called him back and I was like, ‘hey, if I’m going to have to retire, my mom can be there, my friends can be there, there can be this support system around me.’” Bryan noted, “I was very thankful that WWE gave me such a platform to retire on, but it was just a hard day.”

Bryan continued, “They asked me to do commentary for a thing that they did called the Cruiserweight Classic, which was on the WWE Network. And they asked me to do that, and I said, ‘yeah, that sounds great!’ It’s only 10 episodes and I only have too go do it a couple of times, and I get to help this young, independent talent because they were all unsigned talent at the time. And I thought it was great, but then, they told me, ‘you’re coming back as the General Manager.’ That wasn’t a question. That’s not an ask. And I was like, ‘argh, I don’t know if I want to do this.’”

“One of the hard things about what I do now is that the entrance is the best part. And then, I go out there and I talk. And, like, I’ve gotten better at this whole thing. I used to be someone who is very bad on the microphone. But now, I’ve developed into being more comfortable with it, finding myself with it, and that sort of thing. But it’s still not my passion. I’ve learned how to do it because that’s what my job required.”

Lillian Garcia welcomes Paige to the show.

Paige informs that growing up in a wrestling family wasn’t a lot of fun for her. Wrestling wasn’t really cool back then and she was picked on quite frequently in high school. She didn’t have a lot of friends back then and she struggled in school because of this. She began travelling as a working wrestler at 14-years old and she felt like she was already grown up at that very young age.

Around this same time her mother disappeared for a period of time. Her mother works very hard and struggled with several issues, and one day it all just became too much for her. They eventually found her staying alone with their dog, and she was a completely different person from that day on. Paige admits that it took her a while to forgive her mom, but after finding herself in some sticky situations lately she began to understand how a person can just ‘shut off’ and run away.

Paige admits that she has a lot of trust issues, especially with men, and she hadn’t ever really fully committed to a relationship except for her last relationship with Alberto Del Rio. For this reason, the last few months after their separation have been very tough for her and she’s not quite ready to dive into another relationship at this point.

Patrom said the split happened weeks ago and their relationship had a lot of stress because they were always in-and-out of the media and they decided it was time to break up.

Maria Kanellis went on a long Facebook rant after she got offended when an individual on social media questioned her decision to get pregnant and mentioned that she won’t allow people to make her feel powerless. Here is what she wrote:

“How dare you get pregnant? You can’t workout. And other stupid things people have said to me.”
I think it’s funny that everyone is an expert on pregnancy, including men that can’t birth them and don’t have children of their own. Now, I am not an expert on pregnancy but I do have my OB, PCP, mom, my friends with kids, and my trainer on speed dial. Let’s just analysis the first statement/question: “How dare you get pregnant?” I’m not exactly sure what this means but I can only assume it’s because I work for WWE. I signed a contract with WWE in March and had no plans of getting pregnant until my contract was up. So, yes I have only been signed for a few months this time but, I worked for WWE before. For 5 and a half years. I’ve also been working in wrestling for 13 years. AND I’ve been working since I was 12. I was a bus girl for my first job. Thus, I have been working for 23 years. I CAN get pregnant. I can even stay home while pregnant and have a job because WWE thinks I am important and this baby is important enough to do so. After 23 years of work, do I deserve maternity leave? I think so and so does WWE. Women deserve maternity leave and men deserve paternity leave. It should be a right not a privilege. I will continue fulfilling the obligations of my WWE contract even after the baby arrives so, SMGMB. (Suck My Giant Momma Boobs) Hahaha……

You can’t workout….. Really? Has anyone seen a lioness while pregnant? What if she decides, oh I can’t run today, I’m pregnant? The lioness starves and so does her cubs. Or what happened in colonial times when the men went off to war? Did the farm get neglected? No, she plowed the field and took care of her 7 other children. Women are amazing. Women’s bodies are amazing. I will not let people on social media make me feel powerless. Should some women not workout? Of course. But, I don’t have any special circumstances. And if I did then, I would “settle down” as one hater put it. There are real problems with gaining too much weight while pregnant for instance childhood obesity, gestational diabetes, less accurate sonogram results, premature labor, preeclampsia, high blood pressure, excess bleeding, larger percentage of c-sections, and the list goes on. If you are really concerned about it read up here or here. And if you still have questions go here, here, or here. Links are below to research. I will not stop working out because some ill informed person tells me too. Some women don’t workout while pregnant and that’s their choice. It’s an individual choice a woman makes with her doctor.

On to more stupid things….. “You are annoying. No one wants to hear about your pregnancy.” Let me solve this, real quick. I am pregnant. For the foreseeable future, that is the next 19 weeks, I will talk about being pregnant. You will see pregnant belly photos, baby stuff, blogs about being pregnant, and when I am feeling ultra emotional, photos of Mike with my pregnant belly. Therefore, if you don’t like it, Stop Following Me. Done. Another of my favorite comments, “You look really pregnant.” What the hell does that mean? You are either pregnant or you are not. I am pregnant so of course I really look pregnant. Also, as a warning, in a few months, if you say that to me, I may eat you. I am hungry all the time. Because, I will be really pregnant. AND my all time favorite stupid comment, word for word “Kid won’t have room to move. Prob get caught up in tubing. U ever heard of relaxing” My response was, you don’t understand the female anatomy. I’ll just leave that there.
Mike and I will be revealing baby’s gender in January and as a Christmas Gift to our amazing fans we will be telling you baby’s initials on Christmas Day!!!

Love Hugs and Peace,
“The Crazy Pregnant Lady”

Maria

Ross opens today’s show by sending his thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan, who passed away this past weekend. He says Heenan’s passing caught him by surprise and it really hit close to home.

Ross welcomes Gene Okerlund to the show, who also says he was very surprised to hear that Heenan passed away. Both Ross and Okerlund were obviously aware of Heenan’s health issues over the last decade, but there didn’t appear to be any pressing health issues at this moment in time. For this reason, his passing caught both men by surprise.

Okerlund says Heenan was a very intelligent, bright, creative man. He was a tremendous athlete, actor and overall performer. Ross says that many people also forget that Heenan was an above average in-ring performer early in his career. He was a main event level heel, a fantastic manager and commentator, and one of the best overall performers in the history of the wrestling business.

Okerlund also mentions that he did a lot of travelling with Heenan back in the day. There’s no denying that Heenan’s mood could swing from one day to the next but no matter what, he was always the funniest guy in the room. Heenan’s relationship with Gorilla Monsoon was something worth envying, and Ross agrees saying that those two were an irreplaceable pairing.
