The opening of the edition of SmackDown broadcast on May 6th (or possibly the 9th), 2002

This was the premier episode after the WWF had become the WWE

He might be a useless wrestler (WrestleMania 27 anyone?) and not fit to lace the boots of Jerry 'The King' and Good Ol' JR, but before he joined the WWF as a commentator in 1997, Michael Cole was an accomplished journalist / reporter, covering incidents such as the war in Sarajevo, the 51-day siege in Waco,Texas in 1993 and the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon wants to make a comeback, The Wall Street Journal reported.

McMahon retired from the company in July amid a board investigation into misconduct allegations.

WSJ reported a new accusation from a former spa manager, who claimed McMahon assaulted her.

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, who retired this year amid misconduct allegations, reportedly wants to make a return to the company.

McMahon has told people that he's eyeing a comeback, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. He believes he received bad advice and that the allegations would have blown over if he hadn't stepped away from the company, according to WSJ.

McMahon's reported conversations on a potential comeback was part of a new WSJ report that also alleged he is declining to pay settlements to two women who have accused him of sexual misconduct, one allegation of which was previously unreported.

In an email to McMahon's attorney Jerry McDevitt, reviewed by WSJ, a lawyer for a former spa manager claimed that McMahon had assaulted the former spa manager at a resort in California in 2011.

In another letter reviewed by WSJ, a lawyer for former WWE ref Rita Chatterton — who in 1992 had accused McMahon of raping her six years prior — asked McMahon to pay Chatteron $11.5 million in damages.

McMahon has not paid either of the women settlements, according to WSJ.

McDevitt did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider on WSJ's reporting on behalf of McMahon. WWE did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider on McMahon's reported desire to make a comeback and the newly reported allegation from the spa manager. McMahon and WWE declined to comment to WSJ.

Former wrestler Leonard Inzitari said in a June New York magazine story that Chatterton's accusation was true, and that she had confided in him after it happened in 1986 — the first time a wrestler had backed up Chatterton's claim.

McMahon denied Chatterton's accusation in a lawsuit filed against her after she made her allegation public in 1992, but the lawsuit was eventually dropped, according to the New York magazine story.

McMahon retired from WWE in July amid an investigation by the company's board into alleged payments made to other women who had accused McMahon of misconduct.

His daughter and the company's former brand chief, Stephanie McMahon, and the company's president Nick Khan, were named co-CEOs.

I think he *should* come back, but only for sporadic appearances and NOT as a full-time member of the WWE. I *know* that he is vitally important to the pro-wrestling business, but his age and (rumoured) misdemeanors go against him

In other news...

Matt Riddle had been suspended for 60 days after failing WWE's wellness policy for a second time after failing a drug test...


...and Mandy Rose has been 'future endeavored' after she posted nude photos and videos of herself on her 'fan time' page


I remember, back in the Attitude Era, when Divas were celebrated by the WWF when they appeared in Playboy magazine!

Maryse..


...Ashley...


...and Chyna

Many years before Vinnie Mac married together wresting and entertainment to create the WWF, Argentina had its own version - 'Titanes en el ring', which ran from 1962 - 1988


As well as a live television show, there were at least two films made based on the programme - 'Titanes en el ring' (1973) and 'Titanes en el ring contrataca' (1984)
