Rampage's first Bellator opponent announced

TNA star/MMA fighter Quiton 'Rampage' Jackson will make his Bellator MMA debut against former UFC star Tito Ortiz on November 2 in Long Beach, California.


The fight will be aired on PPV, as was announced by Bellator on Wednesday night on Spike TV following King Mo's televised victory.


The "big announcement" was set up when Rampage Jackson was interviewed about making his Bellator debut. Boxing star Roy Jones, Jr. was at ringside, so Rampage "swerved" the audience by saying he would not be making his Bellator debut in a boxing fight, but in an MMA fight.


Tito Ortiz was then i...

Jim Ross – Orton Fan Attack, Angle/WWE, Christian’s Push

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated the Q&A section of JRSBARBQ.com. You can check out some highlights below:


On the fan attacking Randy Orton in South Africa: “It was an overzealous fan who was sent to jail as best that I know.”


On Kurt Angle returning to the WWE: “Kurt Angle returning to WWE is largely up to Kurt Angle. I have no idea what his future plans are but his in ring days lessen each day. He’s a warriot but everyone has an expiration date when it comes to in ring work.”


On Christian getting another run as World Champion: “Christian is a valued resource within WWE. He’s been doing very well on TV as of late. His future is excellent but to get into specifics that I don’t know would not be honest or fair.”

Rumor: Tito Ortiz Headed To TNA Wrestling

It was just announced on the Bellator MMA event on Spike TV that Quinton “Rampage” Jackson would not be fighting Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match on pay-per-view at the end of the year as rumored. Instead, it will be Rampage in his home, the cage, fighting former friend and training partner, and the newest surprise addition to the Bellator MMA roster, Tito Ortiz.


Ortiz, who was retired, has signed a deal to fight for Bellator MMA, his first MMA home outside of the UFC in his career. While unconfirmed, it is possible Ortiz signed a joint deal with TNA iMPACT! Wrestling, as the MMA star has worked for the organization in the past with King Mo and Rampage Jackson. This is likely another “package deal” that will include Tito Ortiz in TNA as well.


Could Ortiz be the #August1Warning mystery-man? It sure looks that way but tune in to find out on Thursday’s edition of TNA iMPACT! Wrestling on Spike TV.

JR Blog: Rumors of Sting to WWE, New Performance Center, Mid-South

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:


- Just received an advance copy of the Legends of Mid South DVD, three disc set for my review. This long awaited collection will be released September 10 in the USA and about a week later in the UK as I understand it. I had the chapters and the full match lineup in a blog here on the site a couple of weeks ago but apparently my blogs are not widely read as the IWC is just now printing the list and crediting others for providing it. Drat…thought I had a scoop.


- Less than a week away from the July 11 grand opening of the new, WWE Performance Center in Winter Park, Florida. Invitations have been extended to many and I’m expecting this to be a huge event/turnout celebrating a milestone day in WWE. If we are able to consistently bring in charismatic, world class athletes into this facility the future of WWE will be even brighter.

He was so funny, and whether he was somebody you wanted to boo or cheer – he was so easily (bad or good), and he didn’t really change that much of his style. So funny and sassy and shady. He would just cheat all the time, and it was so goofy.”

- There are currently no plans for WWE to bring RAW back to two hours each week. WWE officials like the extra money they’re making each week and they are looking at more hours of TV and more rights fees each week. That’s where WWE is focused on growing their business right now – not live events or pay-per-views but TV and rights fees.

AJ Lee Talks Being WWE Divas Champ and Eddie Guerrero

- WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee recently spoke with CitizensVoice.com to promote upcoming live events. Here are some highlights:


Being Divas Champion:

“To actually have completed that 14-year mission is amazing and surreal. I’ll kinda leave the title around my apartment, just to remind me of it. Yeah, I put it in the bed with me sometimes.”


Paying tribute to Eddie Guerrero by “playing possum” in the match she won the title:

“That was like my shout-out to him for being my inspiration all these years. He was so funny, and whether he was somebody you wanted to boo or cheer – he was so easily (bad or good), and he didn’t really change that much of his style. So funny and sassy and shady. He would just cheat all the time, and it was so goofy.”

There have been times in the past that USA wanted Vince back on TV, thinking he helps ratin...

What was Curtis Axel thinking?

What was Curtis Axel thinking when he was handed the Intercontinental Title and looked to the ceiling to acknowledge his father, the late "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig, at WWE's Payback PPV in June?


"He would be happy," Axel told the "Trentonian" newspaper in an interview, while promoting this weekend's WWE tour in Trenton, N.J.


It took Axel a while to get from "Michael McGillicutty" to using a family name on television, but Axel says he believes it was the right decision.


"The advantage of having a different name is I could do my own thing," Axel said. "“If ...

Fan Comments of the Week, June 29 to July 5, 2013

Everyone, I’ve got to be honest. This week, the comments were on the low side. I’m sure the fact that school’s out for the summer and people are vacationing with Mickey Mouse played a factor. Still, what the WNZ fans produced was beautiful justice. The Shield would be proud that there are those standing up for their beliefs. This week features TNA, the Wyatt family and our always popular caption contest. Before my Steveweiser gets warm (there were a few left from the July 4th holiday) and I take a stunner as a result, let’s get into the comments.



“AJ and Kaitlyn, those two can solely refreshen and revive women’s wrestling in the WWE with what they’re doing. They’re proving it, and they’re also seeking respect from officials and fans. Their respective performances on...

TNA Impact Wrestling Results – 7/4/13

Recapping Bully freaking about who the newest member of MEM is, and then Angle and Sting revealing it’s Joe. Then Suicide won the X Division Championship, but it wasn’t Perkins. Turned out to be Aries, and he is going after Bully’s WHC.

In Ring Segment

Aries to the ring. Aries – Some people love me. Some people, they love to boo me. Everybody now has to respect me. I came out last week and do what I do – outsmart people, create controversy, cause a buzz. Last year I created Option C. Last year I cashed in the X Division Title, and won the WHC. After my clever plan where I captured this, you bet your ass I’m cashing in for a shot at Bully at Destination X, and will be the WHC again. Hogan, bring your ass our here brother so I can hand this over and make it official.

Hogan to the ring, soaking up the love of the fans.
Aries – Let’s make this official. I’m ready to hand this over.
Hogan – Thank you Champ. You did it last year, and did it again. He’s...
