Thanks to Dev Simar for sending word that The Tribune News Service in Punjab, India has an article in today's newspaper about former WWE Superstar The Great Khali. The article notes that Khali has been recovering from surgery on his right leg. Khali was in Chandigarh this week to meet with the Punjab Armed Police officials of the 82nd battalion.

Khali encouraged young police recruits to get into sports and live a healthy lifestyle. He also invited them to join his wrestling academy in Jalandhar, where they will offer free training to recruits. He's also opening another school in the Amin village near Kurukshetra along with international volleyball star Balwan Singh and noted that WWE has asked him to refer three talents per year from his academies.

Khali also promised to people in attendance that he will return to WWE's WrestleMania and one day defeat The Undertaker. Khali told people at the event that he is healthy enough to get back in a WWE ring and will do so.

WWE sent out a "WWE Fan Council" survey about NXT to select members of their mailing list. From the nature of the questions, it seems like they're trying to gauge interest in NXT running shows outside of Florida with questions ranging from the best ticket prices to whether or not fans would travel, how much NXT merchandise the NXT fans are willing to buy (both online and at shows), which indies they follow (if any), and what non-WWE wrestlers they'd like to see in NXT, with a focus on international talent. This should ramp up all of the talk from the last week about whether or not NXT is even a developmental promotion anymore.

It’s possible that some of the writers in WWE believe that The Black Scorpion was one of Sting’s early gimmicks, as most of the WWE writers aren’t exactly wrestling historians. Furthermore, WWE is afraid to have Sting talk in front of the live audience because they believe that his promo skills are as bad as they were when he first burst onto the scene in WCW. However, if you followed Sting’s run in TNA over the last several years, you know that he’s not only become a great promo, but that he’s probably a better promo than the majority of the WWE roster.

It’s also used by The Bullet Club, which could present some problems in the future. The Young Bucks are currently selling t-shirts here which include the gesture.
For some reference, Scott Hall gave permission for BC to use the gesture and act as an nWo-like stable when Karl Anderson asked for official approval.


Some other sheet news include:
  • JR clarifying his stance on the Demott controversy stressing more on how he's completely against the abuse that occurred while trying to make a better comparison about generational differences.

  • Was mentioned in the RAW thread but Wiz Khalifa confirmed he was high during the show last night.
  • For the past couple of months, AV Club has been doing an experiment of reviewing RAWs from the perspective of a sitcom reviewer and weren't joking about not having enough enthusiasm to continue past Mania. Yesterday's show got rated the worst and blasted the WWE for all the implied racist stuff that went on last night. Still has Cena as the worst character written on the show overall.
