Jamie Jones: Dibiase down but not out

Here are the notes and news items from the week in pro wrestling: Ted DiBiase — not “The Million Dollar Man” — broke his wrist last week at a WWE house show. Despite the bad break, DiBiase is considering wrestling through the injury.

“It’s just my wrist,” he tweeted. “Not my neck, knee or back. Got no problem fighting with one arm!”

• Matt Hardy will return to the ring at an independent show on March 3 in North Carolina.

• John Cena was recently honored by the Make-A-Wish Foundation for granting his 250th wish, the most wishes ever granted by an individual.

The Local Corner: Action continues at TWA.

In matches last Saturday night: Josh Vaughn retained the Southern title with a victory over Toy Dodson; in the “Going for the Gold Gauntlet Match,” Spades outlasted Tiffany, Ricochet, Will Force and Wandy da Wrestler to earn a future title shot; in the tag team title semifinal match, Honor & Respect defeated The Mixed Ones to advance to the finals; The Playmakers defeated Wandy da Wrestler and Jam Styles; in the tag tournament finals HCP 2.0 downed Honor & Respect to become the new Action Zone tag team champs; in the Action Zone title match, Ray Fury topped Da Bill to become the new Action Zone champion.

TWA Friday Night Brawl runs at 8 p.m. at the TWA Arena off Reed Road in north Whitfield County, about three miles north of the bypass. The TWA Action Zone runs at 8 p.m. on Saturdays. Tickets for all shows are $5 for adults and $3 for ages 6 to 12; senior citizens 60 years and older with proof of age will be admitted for $3. Kids younger than 6 are admitted free. Any military member with proper identification will be admitted free. If it’s your birthday, you will be admitted free.

Trivia Teaser: What is the only former WCW “Monster Jam” truck still competing under its original name?

Last week’s question: Which wrestler is most famous for his finishing move, “The Iron Claw”?

Most famous is a relative term, so if you answered Blackjack Mulligan, Killer Kowalski, The Spoiler, Fritz Von Erich or Baron Von Raschke, consider yourself a winner.



Jamie Jones probably won’t even boo John Cena again. He can be reached at jamiejones@daltoncitizen.com or (706) 272-7723.
