Bad News Regarding Former Tough Enough Competitor Matt Cappotelli’s Health
It was reported a few weeks ago that former WWE Tough Enough Talent, Matt Cappotelli’s brain cancer had returned after 10 years. Matt took to his Facebook page to provide yet another update on his health and the news isn’t good.
Here’s what Cappotelli wrote:
“Diagnosis is in.
I have a grade IV GlioBlastoma Multiforme (GBM).
This is not the news I was looking forward to hearing or sharing, but it will in no way deter me from continuing my fight. Spinal tap this Friday will determine if the cancer cells have spread to my spinal fluid. Monday is a follow up with my team of doctors to determine the treatment steps needed to beat this. Thanx to everyone on #TEAMCAPP”
Everyone at Ringside News prays for the well-being of Matt.
Bischoff on Wrestling Recap – Dixie Carter in WWE, Paige/Del Rio Drama, Samoa Joe vs. Brock Lesnar, More!
Bischoff is joined on today’s show by his co-host Nick Hausman.
Hausman asks Bischoff for his opinion on seeing Dixie Carter on WWE programming this Monday night. Bischoff says that Kurt Angle, and his return to WWE is a big story within that company right now, and Carter was obviously a big part of Angle’s post-WWE career. It didn’t surprise Bischoff to see Carter on Angle’s documentary at all, because there was never really any animosity between WWE and TNA.
In terms of Angle’s current mystery storyline on RAW right now, Bischoff says that he knows exactly what’s going on there. He says that WWE is simply copying the Clair/A.J. Styles angle from TNA a few years back. He says that all signs point to Dixie Carter being the person on the other end of Angle’s phone, and we might see her on RAW soon.
Bischoff says that if Carter is actually going to be a character on WWE programming, he hopes that there are a whole new batch of Producers ready to focus on getting Carter through her segments. He says that it would often take her an entire day to prepare for a 2-minute segment in TNA because she’s simply not a talented performer.
Dixie Carter Congratulates AJ Styles
After it was reported that former TNA President Dixie Carter will appear on WWE 24 – Kurt Angle: Homecoming this Monday night after RAW on the WWE Network, Carter offered her congratulations to TNA alumnus AJ Styles on winning the United States Championship from Kevin Owens Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
Carter tweeted the following in response to Matt Hardy congratulating Styles.
Here is footage of Styles capturing the title Friday night.
Vince Russo’s The Brand Recap – RAW’s 3-point Failure, Kevin Owens’ New Documentary, The Death of Kayfabe, More!
Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane.
Russo says that Enzo Amore cut a terrific promo to open this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. He hopes that WWE isn’t writing Amore off after his split with Big Cass, because Amore is a machine on the mic, and he proved it again on Monday. It’s also clear to Russo that Amore is writing his own promos, because there’s no way the same writers that write the rest of the show are writing his promos. Amore’s promos are simply on another level.
In Russo’s opinion, RAW fails every week because of three points:
1. The show is 3 hours
2. They split the brands, so they don’t have their entire roster available to them to use on Monday nights.
3. They don’t even utilize the top talents that they have on that roster.
It doesn’t make any sense to Russo that WWE chose to split there roster. When he almost returned to WWE in 2002, the first thing he talked to Vince McMahon about was undoing the brand split and merging the rosters again. In addition to this, the top stars on both brands are barely utilized each week. We saw all of RAW’s top stars for no more than a few minutes each on Monday night.
