DAVEY RICHARDS TO RETIRE FROM WRESTLING IN 2017.
Former ROH World Champion and 5 time TNA World Tag Team Champion Davey Richards, Has said that he is going to retire from Pro Wrestling at the end of 2017. Richards has contemplated retirement in 2010 at Ring of Honor after the Final Battle event, But he decided to continue competing. Davey posted the following statement on his career decision; "2017 is the last year. Been incredible and wouldn't change a thing. Get at me for one last time. Wrichards83@gmail.com." Richards also posted a long statement on his journey and his desire to make something of himself.
"At the end, you always have to ask yourself why:I guess I just had to prove it to myself that I could do something. That I wasn't destined to be like all I saw around me. I was worth something even though my dad walked out or my mom chose drugs over me. Or maybe there had to be more than what this town's limits held. It wasn't about fame, It wasn't about money. It was about escape. Escape from this small dead end town, Escape from a toxic family name, Escape from a grim fate, Escape from a grim fate that everyone around me just readily accepted. The TV, the Belts, the money, and everything that goes along with it was secondary. It was the belief that I am good enough. I am worth it, I can change my fate. i can change my family name that drove me. I believe I have done that. i just wanted to be the best. Maybe it was revenge on my parents for abandoning me. Maybe it was the void of when my Grandparents left when they died. Maybe it was a selfworth issue. What ever it was, I can honestly say that I left every single thing that I had every single night. You all gave me a reason to be, and I gave you every ounce of my heart and soul in that ring. Its a very special place, A sacred ground for our dysfunctional and all the while beautiful family. A place where everyone belongs. I'm forever grateful you accepted me into your family, Im always there in spirit, DR." #ThankYouDavey

MARIA KANELLIS BENNETT TO RETIRE FROM WRESTLING ALSO.

Much like fellow TNA Star Richards, Maria has been building for a life outside of wrestling. She released a statement on her status; "News, any news doesn't ever tell the whole story. It will be an interesting next couple months.What I know is I am leaving wrestling soon. I'm not exactly sure when but that's why I went back to school. I am done in May with my bachelors. And then, I'm on to my masters degree. Eventually everyone must realize that the road never changes until you change roads."
THE CURRENT STATE OF TNA LAWSUIT REVEALED.
Billy Corgan's request for a temporary injunction against TNA was ruled against by Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle [The Judge], Which means business as usual for TNA, Except that TNA can continue to run the company without involvement from Corgan. Corgan said on the result; "For those asking, I'm in no way disappointed in the judges ruling regarding TNA. Rather, I'm grateful the judge considered the case. It's important to note is these proceedings have brought forth facts which illuminate business practices I have fought against for a reason. And I suggest that a careful reading on the judge's ruling supports there can be no claim of victory by anyone in a position of authority."
However, This is not the end of the Corgan vs TNA saga, As the ruling was just over Corgan's motion for a temporary injunction, and not the actual lawsuit he filed against TNA. It appears as if Corgan will continue his lawsuit as Corgan's attorney [Scott Simms] said. "Mr. Corgan looks forward to the opportunity to conduct full discovery into these matters and present his case in its entirety to the Court at a later date."

GOLDBERG ON BROCK LESNAR SURVIVOR SERIES MATCH.
During a recent appearence on Jim Ross' podcast, Bill Goldberg, Who will be facing Brock LOesnar at the Survivor Series PPV on 20th November, Goldberg talked about some of the key focus points heading into the big event being billed as 12 years in the making. On a possible repeat of WrestleMania 20 in the sense of getting booed, Goldberg seemed confident on what he would do if that was the case: "At the end of the day, I hope everybody has fun. And if I just so happen to get booed, then, I am surely not going to go out and end my life because of it. At the end of the day, it's other people's interpretation upon your act at that moment, so if I get booed, then, I'll take it out on Brock more so than I'm doing already. And I believe that that's what we wanted to do to each other when we were booed the last time we met. And I think this time, the gloves, as we say, are off, so this is going to be a war."
Goldberg also gave a taste of what to expect from his war with Lesnar, He admits to his flaws but promises to bring an ultra violent match with The Beast: "As far as taking bumps and giving bumps, I've been taking bumps and I've been giving bumps, but they are of a completely different kind, so just because I'm not up on my hitting the ropes skills, don't mean that I don't bring something to the table that will far exceed expectations as far as violence is concerned, so that's what we do, man. And I'm just trying to, I've got to reinvent myself and I've got to figure out the right combination to bring into that ring."

WRESTLER INTERVIEWS
TWO MAN POWER TRIP INTERVIEWS... REY MYSTERIO
Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling #212 Rey Mysterio Jr.
Lucha Underground’s Rey Mysterio Jr. joined The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling this past week for an exclusive interview conducted during New York City Comic Con. Rey discusses with John and Chad Season 3's progress thus far and what his future plans are for Lucha Underground and how he is playing a new role as mentor and veteran to the locker room.

Full Interview on Youtube: https://youtu.be/wEoyrSkv910
Going back to his roots and blending the Mysterio mystique with the vibe of Lucha Underground:
"If you really think about it with anybody that goes back to their roots one of the things that you get out of that is that it brings back good memories. It brings back the smiles so that really puts me back in the early days of my career and it just makes me want to keep going. It is only positive. Positive thinking, positive vibes and just going out there and having a good match. The only thing I haven't done yet and my son is the one who told me to do this is go back to my old wrestling attire, which I am really thinking about doing."
The energy that "the temple" brings to Lucha Underground and comparisons to the ECW Arena:
"It is very similar to that old ECW vibe. I don't mention this enough publicly like I should but I am very thankful to Paul Heyman and Konan. For Konan it was for introducing me to Paul Heyman and for Paul it was giving me the opportunity and to all of the boys that were a part of that roster back then like Shane Douglas, Tommy Dreamer and even Stone Cold Steve Austin who was back there. The energy of "the temple" is so similar to the vibe in ECW but it is just a bit more intimate and more personal at the temple. It is more eye contact with the fans and if you like you can make that personal connection so it is that good vibe that I always forget to relate to."
What can fans look forward to from Rey Mysterio in Season 3:
"It just gets crazier and crazier as we move on with the episodes in Season 3. Without giving anything away there is just so much talent that I still haven't faced that I am looking forward to getting to face off with in Season 3 or Season 4 or the next season after that. There is definitely such a wide variety on the roster that we can put out five star matches every night that we step into that temple."
