Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, a former wrestler in the then-World Wrestling Federation, was arrested on Sunday for "possession and trafficking in a controlled substance and burglary," according to Tampa Bay Online.

Neidhart was charged with "two counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of trafficking in illegal drugs and one count of burglary and one count of grant theft."

According to the police, he caused a disturbance while pumping gas on Sunday and ingested "multiple pills that he dropped on the ground while inside the trunk of his vehicle."

At the gas station, police found him in possession of 55.6 grams of Oxycontin and 17.4 grams of methadone.

Neidhart was a wrestler in the WWF in the 1980s and 1990s.

He's also the father of current WWE Diva, Natalya.

Apparently Chris Jericho just worked his last WWE gig tonight at the PPV.

Jorge Gonzalez, who was known as Giant Gonzalez and El Gigante as a pro wrestler and was a one-time draftee of the Atlanta Hawks, died this week at the age of 44.

He'll always be remembered more for his airbrushed muscle bodysuit, than his size or ring work.

I'm interested in seeing the Undertaker vs. Kane in a Hell in a Cell on Sunday,hopefully it's a good match!

As long as the Undertaker losses again, I'll be happy

Whaaaat? Not a fan?

I've heard some rumors that wrestlemania's main event is going to be undertaker vs. John cena to unite the world and wwe titles. I think this would be a pretty good ideas for WWE and those two could have a pretty awesome match.

Never been a fan of the Undertaker.

I'm not a fan of unifying all these titles. I like having each show with it's own title. I was against unifying the Women's/Diva's title recently.

I like how Paul Bearer returned.

Fun Fact: In real life, Bearer (real name Bill Moody) is a practicing mortician.

The Undertaker lost again!

Haven't heard much from this thread in a while.

-I don't know about you but I'm growing tired of this Nexus angle. Please end it already.

-Glad to see Kane with the title. It's been YEARS since he's had a title run.

-I think Michael Cole is the worst commentator E-V-E-R!

-The Miz is the WWE champion? Really??

I hope Miz won't have the title very long. He gets on my last nerve along with Cole. Bring JR back. I was hoping that Jerry the king would've took the title from the Miz.

Don't worry Mig, I don't foresee the Miz haven't the title very long. I think they had to get it off of Orton because I think he's injured. However, I don't want to see John Cena with it either.

So you recommend Wade Barrett instead?

Has he even won a major PPV match clean yet?

Well he's a heel, so... no?

As far as the royal rumble and wrestlemania, what would you all like to happen?

I haven't watched Raw in awhile but I did last night. Why is the Miz kick Randy Orton's ass? How do you feel about HBK getting inducted to the HOF?

HBK getting in is no surprise. I was a little disappointed however they didn't announce a second inductee yesterday. However, I heard Arn Anderson, Ron Simmons and other former WCW wrestlers will be inducted this year since WrestleMania's in Atlanta this year. I'd like to see Sting and Goldberg get in personally.

I seen Arn & Ole wrestle many years ago when they had matches at school gyms.

It was pretty cool seeing Kevin Nash and Booker T return at the Royal Rumble. They both got squashed, though.

The Rock returned to RAW, and it was beatiful. Back in the ring after 7 years, the guy still proves that on the stick, he is indeed the "most electrifying man" in sports entertainment.

Welcome back Dwayne.

What's up with the storyline that Vicki is stripping Edge of the title? And why is Michael Cole being such a dick for?

The storyline is that she as the ole "abusive authority figure" is doing everything and anything to make her beau Dolph Ziggler the champion. In the last few title matches, Edge was banned from using his Spear finisher on penalty of being stripped of the title.

The last match, she was the special guest referee. She got sidelined with a (storyline) injury, and Edge speared Ziggler which she witnessed. Recent Super Bowl hero Clay Matthews ran to the ring as replacement referee (this was in Green Bay) and counted the 1-2-3, w/ Vickie's objections ignored.

From what I saw, I'm guessing the storyline this week on Smackdown! heading into the PPV on sunday is Edge has to forfeit the title, handing over the belt personally to Ziggler. If not, he's fired.



They turned him into a heel announcer ala Jesse Ventura and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, with Cole being buddies with The Miz or badmouthing Daniel Bryan and John Cena, etc.

Except Cole sucks at it. Dude has always sucked as an announcer. I miss Jim Ross.

Jesse and Heenan were masters at their craft because before taking up the headset, they had a well-established heel personas whether as wrestler or manager in Pro Wrestling. And they were awesome at putting over the villains, trashing the heroes.

Cole can't do either, and only puts over himself. I get it WWE, you want to give fans an excuse now to boo the tar out of a guy you all always hated (and not in a "good" kayfabe way), but again...he sucks.

Man...I can't begin to describe how good it was to see The Rock return. The final 20 minutes of RAW last night were the most entertaining the show has been in quite a long time.

Did you notice how they only bleeped him once? I think the producers realized that they were witnessing something special, and to edit out EVERY ONE of his signature catch phrases would be an injustice to him and his fans.

Fuck...it was awesome, and it was made all the more awesome by the fact that it was a complete shock for me. I tend to keep up with the wrestling "news" sites, and came across an article of a "HUGE star" hosting WrestleMania this year. I shied away from it not wanting to spoil it, and I'm glad I didn't. This is literally the first time I've been surprised by something happening in pro wrestling in a long time.

Did you hear that crowd pop? I got goose bumps.

The only thing that sucks...I could have gotten tickets to this Monday Night Raw (it was at the Honda Center, which is literally 10 minutes from where I live) and I didn't do it. Way to go Dave!

I don't know how long this video will be up before YouTube takes it down, but here's the video from The Rock's return last night. Prepare to be electrified.

I like how the Rock went off on Cole last night. That was funny.

My friend just told me he was back. I assumed he was back to promote something, but it looks like he's returning full-time.

The seed for Cena vs. The Rock has been planted. Having Rock on RAW during the build up to WrestleMania is gonna draw a lot of publicity, and a Rock/Cena headliner at the big show would draw like no match before it (except maybe Rock vs. Hogan). Cena would undoubtedly be the heel in the match, whether Vince McMahon likes it or not.

Man...for the first time in a while, I'm excited to watch RAW again.

Been a while since I heard the crowd cheer that loud!!


OOOH YEAH!

One thing I'm concerned about is when Rocky said "I am never, ever, going away." The WWE is known for promoting and promising big things, and not going through with it. For the Rock to say he's back for good is gonna raise a lot of expectations and hopes for the WWE fans. The only way he can conceivably leave now would be a kayfabe "firing" of some sort, which would still feel cheap.

Another thing is Rock calling out John Cena. This plants the seed for one of the biggest confrontations/matches of all time, and if the WWE doesn't go through with it, this will also feel cheap. I don't wanna sound cynical or anything, but I've become jaded with the WWE over the past few years, and I can't help but expect to be disappointed. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
