- On Friday, somebody unearthed a seven-year-old tweet from WWE producer and former Superstar Road Dogg where he wrote, "Billy gunn is gay."
The post spread through retweets and Road Dogg garnered backlash from fans as a result. The 2011 tweet has since been deleted, with Road Dogg issuing an apology.
I'm sorry I tweeted that. I was still living wrong at the time apparently. I regret a lot of things I did. I was wrong!

- WWE uploaded this classic video of Ivory challenging The Fabulous Moolah for the WWF Women's Championship on Raw on Oct. 25, 1999.
Eight days earlier at No Mercy, Moolah beat Ivory to regain the WWF Women's Championship, thus becoming the oldest WWF Women's Champion ever at the age of 76 years old. Moolah announced her retirement on Raw and attempted to forfeit the WWF Women's Championship, which led to Ivory demanding her contractually obligated rematch.
