Here are the news and notes from another week in pro wrestling:
• WWE announcer Jim Ross has some sarcastic words on his blog at www.jrsbarbq.com about his future with the company. His contract expires next month.
“Must be lots of new rumors on the ‘net about my future,” he wrote. “If any of you get some concrete info on what I will be doing for a living in the coming months, years, etc., please let me know because my status, goals for the future, etc. are the same as I have repeatedly stated for months.”
• WWE leaked its first 2010 Hall of Fame inductee. An announcement of Antonio Inkoi as the first name in the class was placed on WWE’s Japan Web site.
• Fresh off a successful “Royal Rumble” pay-per-view in Atlanta, WWE this week unveiled plans to hold Wrestlemania 27 there in 2011.
The Local Corner: WWE legend Ted Dibiase believed that “Everybody’s got a price.” That rings true at TWA. Last week, King Morphine bought the heavyweight title from Dino Dupree (who held it for one week) and handed it to Jimmy “U.R.” Sharpe. What will happen to the title this week?
TWA runs at 8 p.m. on Fridays in the TWA Arena off Reed Road in north Whitfield County, about 3 miles north of the bypass. The Action Zone runs at 8 p.m. on Saturdays. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for kids 6 to 12. Kids younger than 6 are admitted free. Any military member with proper identification will also be admitted free.
In matches at BCW last Saturday night: Alex Michaels beat Devon Lee; Deion Mercer and Special Ed downed Chris Michaels and Steve Star; and Lee topped Chief Little Lynn.
BCW runs at 8 p.m. on Saturdays. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for children. The BCW Arena is at 284 Highway 225 South, next to the Dollar General store.
