Hero situation explained:
-Hero & Claudio go through medicals last summer for WWE. Claudio's clean & gets signed, Hero isn't and the process is slowed. -The office tells him they'll test him again in January, and if he's clean he's signed. -Hero tests clean and gets signed.

This doesn't have anything to do with today's wrestling, but I recently had a discussion with my dad and he told me this story about Roddy Piper being involved with the police in some kind of fashion in Fresno. He's told me this story for years and I've never bothered to look into it further, but in yesterday's Observer Radio, Dave talked about the incident with Piper & Cowboy Bob Orton in Fresno!
So, did some google searches and I found the story. It was in the 2-26-86 Observer Newsletter:
Then, Bret Hart talked about it in his book:
I know this is all pointless, but it was just a story I found that I wanted to share.
Just to get back on topic, Smackdown was pretty great last night. Really enjoying watching it on a weekly basis. Raw...not so much.

That story is way more interesting that anything going on in the WWE right now.

I remember hearing something like that somewhere. It was either in a shoot or a book (Not Hart's, though).

I hate to be a storytopper
Savage story from his time in Memphis on a fight between Savage and a fan in Nashville:
Quote: They ended up on the ground punching and kicking and screaming in front of this old school giant juke box. The police were called, being told by the employees that their friend was in a fight with the crazy wrestler Randy Savage. It should be noted that wrestling was huge on television in the city, and everyone knew Savage, and most people in town thought he was crazy. The cowboy then pulled a knife on Savage.
Savage saw the knife, leap frogged over the counter, and grabbed a kitchen knife. At about this point, sirens were blazing signaling the police being about to arrive. The cowboy, hearing the sirens and seeing Savage with a knife of his own, ran out the door.
Two police officers, who recognized him immediately, came into the Waffle House and Savage started cutting a promo, complete with "Oooh yeah, can you dig it." The staff said that Savage started it. They tried to arrest Savage, but Savage started yelling how the other guy started it and he was the victim. They tried to arrest him, but he wasn't being cooperative. At this point Savage started fighting the police officers while a crowd gathered. They couldn't overpower him and get the handcuffs on. So they decided to pepper spray him. One officer pulled out the spray, as another officer held Savage. If you've ever seen a wrestling spot, well, Savage ducked and you can predict what happened next.

The only thing that would have made that story better is if Savage would have dropped an elbow on the guy.

Man HBK looks pretty out of shape on RAW. Guess he's enjoying his retirement so far.

Just caught a sign that said "Fire Cole. Bring in Tony Schiavone."
I agree.

Highlight of the night... the "You Fucked Up" chants for the botched RKO.

Hero's WWE name is Kassius Ohno. The only thing that I like about it is that the initials are KO.

That supposed to be a mix between Cassius Clay and Apollo Ono?
Calling his finisher to be called Oh No KO! Or some variation of that.
