– At the January 4th live iMPACT, Sting put Ric Flair over big time in the locker room in front of everyone, saying he owed all his success in wrestling to Flair making him a star in the late 80’s. Sting said Flair was like a mentor to him and that the main reason he came back to TNA for another year was the opportunity to work with Flair again.
– Sports Illustrated’s Josh Gross recently interviewed Hulk Hogan for what sounds like a future release. Gross wrote the following on his Twitter:
“Hogan mentioned, rather seriously, he plans on having a conversation with Bobby Lashley Sunday to discuss Lashley’s pro wrestling future. Hogan’s quote after I inquired about Lashley working 4 TNA: “He’s gotta make a choice, brother. We need to have a serious talk, He can [do MMA and pro wrestle] but he just needs to be a businessman about it. You can’t stiff us just because you have to train for a fight. You can’t put [Strikeforce] ahead of us; that’s not going to work me. I’m going to fix that real quick. That’s going to happen Sunday. I’m going to see what he’s made of because I’ve been around too long to have someone like him to do business with””
