Brock at UFC, Mickie concert set, former tag champs at Mattel HQ, legend found safe, Raw injury, new NJPW faction gets merch, Memphis name passes, Lethal addresses accusations, and a Question on when a rumor should and should not be reported

- Ascension vs. Heath/Rhyno:
I'm just waiting for these two teams to be destroyed by the Authors. I question how much longer they're sticking around.

Fun battle of big guys.

Solid action.

WAIT WHAT???? Was that a botched finish??? They never get the win!!

- Jinder vs. Ryder:
WOW. Jinder's fallen a lot since his WWE Title reign. I don't expect him to see that title again for a long time. If ever.

Something's wrong if Jinder's having trouble beating Zack.

Not bad for the time it had. We'll see if Jinder gets drafted to this show as a regular while Mojo and Jose are on Raw.


Brock Lesnar appeared at UFC's July 7 event, getting in a confrontation with their new heavyweight champion after the main event. Lesnar will have to serve six months of suspension before he can get back in the octagon.

- Lesnar's opponent is open to appearing on WWE TV to promote the fight. That would actually be cool, but I would think it would benefit UFC more than WWE.

Mickie James has a concert scheduled on July 21.

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins visited Mattel HQ. They get more screen time from toy companies than WWE!

WOS Wrestling has announced its TV debut for later this month. It will run for ten weeks.

Danny Hodge was found nearly 80 miles from home after an alert was issued to find him. Hodge reportedly suffers from dementia. I'm glad he's safe.

Fandango expects to miss six months due to a torn left labrum. He'll undergo surgery tomorrow. I hope he and Breeze have good futures.

Bullet Club Firing Squad already has T-shirts available at Pro Wrestling Tees. Smart! Good work.

- There's also an official Bullet Club/Pac-Man crossover shirt. Namco and NJPW are pretty close.

Memphis personality Nate "The Rat" Whitlock recently passed away. PWInsider did a rundown of his career.

Jay Lethal addressed accusations that have recently come out about him, stating that ROH is now officially investigating them. No sources have come forth to corroborate these accusations, so at this point they just remain hearsay.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com question:
1. Basically spreading an unproven accusation is irresponsible at least and potentially libelous. If charges are officially filed, it's a story. Since there's an official investigation, that's a story. But I don't want to be an outlet for someone to spread malicious rumors with no sourcing. While I doubt I would be personally sued for doing so, it's not something I'm comfortable with.

ALL THAT SAID, these accusations are definitely serious enough to be investigated. While I don't want to unfairly tarnish someone's reputation, I also don't want to silence anyone who may have gone through something terrible.

More wrestling tomorrow.
