Dolph Ziggler Tweets Ex-Girlfriend, Who Would JR Induct Into HOF?, Presser For WWE - Flintstones
- Dolph Ziggler congratulated his ex-girlfriend, comedian Amy Schumer, on Twitter for her Comedy Central show getting picked for a second season. As noted last month, Schumer recently discussed her relationship with Ziggler – and their sex life – on Conan, which you can watch in the video above.
- Jim Ross has posted his latest blog at this link, in which he discussed his upcoming tour in the U.K., Bobby Eaton, the late Colonel Buck Robley and underrated broadcasters. He also said that if he could induct anyone into the WWE Hall of Fame next year, it would be Danny Hodge.
"Dan traveled the Louisiana roads for years as the reigning NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion and is in every Hall of Fame that includes wrestlers in the world as far as I know," Ross wrote. "Dan was the first wrestler to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, of which I have a copy, in 1957. The NCAA's version of the Heisman Trophy, given to the top wrestler annually, is called the Dan Hodge Award. Goggle Dan Hodge if you want to read about a legit legend whose exploits will likely never be duplicated. "
- As noted earlier, WWE and Warner Bros. will co-produce a Flintstones animated movie featuring Vince McMahon, CM Punk and John Cena. Here is the official press release for the project:
