Pro wrestling legend Bobby Fulton, who is best known as one-half of the former tag-team known as The Fantastics, ripped into Vince McMahon and WWE in a new blog posted recently via social media.

Fulton posted the following on his official Facebook page after McMahon’s recent Muscle & Fitness magazine cover was released:

“Vince sure is ripped. He’s a master of ripping people off, like all the wrestlers like me from the territory days. He stole our likeness, who we are, and our intellectual property of our matches. WWE has admitted they don’t have any of our signed releases most don’t get a dime for DVD’s sold in major stores world wide and online or The WWE Network. Come on Vince really man up pay up. Scott Ammon said you paid a lot for libraries of video from World Class, Mid South, UWF and other regions. Please share this and let WWE know its time to pay up!”

“If you buy an album from the 70s or 80s the artist and song writers are still paid. Even though the work was done decades ago. Same with movies and TV shows. So why not pay the wrestlers of my era for the DVDs of our work that are being sold in major retail stores world wide? A select few are being paid. Why not all of us? If they feel we are important enough to be on those DVDs and The Network then we should be important enough to have a fair share for everyone. I’m not bitter. I had a great career. Not all of us ended up like Randy The Ram even though they try to make you think that. I have been successful in other business ventures. I like many others have had life after wrestling. We are only asking for it to be fair across the board. If wrestler A is being paid for videos of matches against wrestler B. Should not wrestler B also be paid? Fair is Fair.”

Additionally, Fulton originally posted these comments as well, however they were later deleted from the blog.

“Please share to all Wrestling related groups and pages! And let WWE know! This is the time to let our voices be heard. For those that are appearing on merchandise that has lost their health, their families, and some their lives. The problem is he wants to pay for the future by ripping off the past, he has once said that the past didn’t exist. If Egypt can be overturned and changed so can Vince McMahon and so can his WWE empire. Let your voices be heard and help us to let ours be heard! … As people got behind us years ago. Get behind us one more time. Support us in this effort. We just got it up on the WWE page. Please go there and share my post on Vince’s Muscle Body and Fitness. It gives us the power! ‪#‎WWEPAYUSNOW‬! … I’m getting lots of questions one i spoke with wwe scott ammon he said we could beat WWE on a state level for stealing our likeness,name, intellectual property . Wwe scott ammon said we will beat you in court on a federal level . He said we paid certain people Lots of money . Problem is you paid the wrong people . Its time to pay up the talent not just top names but also the refs enhancement and announcers that is being distributed by WWE. They have no signed releases . Even scott ammon told me that . Help us in our plight your voice is heard and does count . Be silent no longer . Deflate Vince McMahon now! Go to WWE’s page and tell them to pay the wrestlers the royalties that owe them. If they are on merchandise for example the network or dvds. That is how to voice your opinion! If you want to help us you can contact the following sponsors and tell them what WWE has been doing: General Motors, Ford Motor Co., Disney, DreamWorks, Paramount, Kmart, Subway, Taco Bell, Colgate, Frito-Lay, Schick and Mattel.”

* Report: WWE Makes An Offer To SAMOA JOE

Earlier this week, CM Punk fought his first MMA “scrimmage” bout at the Roufusport training camp. Punk’s head trainer Duke Roufus spoke to Brett Okamoto at ESPN.com earlier today to discuss the fight and CM Punk’s progress thus far.

Rufus said the fight was not scored, but Punk would have lost if it was.

“We created a crowd scenario,” Roufus said. “All our students got a chance to watch him and were cheering him on. [UFC lightweight champion] Anthony Pettis was in Punk’s corner. There was a lot of hooting and hollering. We tried to make a little Thunderdome the best we could.”

“He did pretty good against a guy who is 4-0. Did he win the match if we had scored it? No, he did not – but that’s cool with him. He likes the struggle. There are certain people who enjoy going into the fire and becoming a phoenix. Most people like to avoid that fire.”

Despite the fact that Punk came up short, Roufus said Punk’s striking ability and conditioning surprised him.

“I was surprised with his natural aggression in striking,” Roufus said. “That’s an unknown thing about striking; it’s that sometimes you can teach someone all the tools of the trade, but if they don’t have a trigger finger and the ability to throw under fire, it just doesn’t matter. I was looking for instincts, and he didn’t cave under pressure.”

Former WWE Diva Melina was a guest on The Ross Report podcast this week, which you can listen to at PodcastOne.com.

She spoke about a number of topics, including her WWE run, what she’s doing these days and more. She also commented on the long standing rumors that she cheated on her ex-boyfriend, Lucha Underground star, with Batista.

Melina and Mundo dated on-and-off for 11 years and revealed that the rumors of her cheating on him with Batista ultimately led to them splitting up. Melina flat out denied the rumor and said she is still asked about it 10 years later. She added that Batista is a great friend and a real life hero.

* News On SETH ROLLINS Cashing In MITB & Brock Lesnar’s WWE Status After WrestleMania

Earlier this week, WWE insider ‘MetsFan4Ever’ made a post on Reddit revealing some major developments in WWE’s booking plans for WrestleMania. With Brock Lesnar close to signing a new deal with WWE, Triple H has reportedly been pushing for Brock Lesnar to retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, John Cena and Daniel Bryan to win the US & IC titles and for those secondary belts to be elevated to compensate for Lesnar’s limited schedule.

To update the situation, MetsFan4Ever says that another idea being discussed for the IC title ladder match is for Sheamus to return as a surprise entrant in the match, cost Bryan the win and capture the gold himself. This would lead to Sheamus and Bryan feuding over the title in the coming weeks & months.

He clarified that Sheamus winning the IC title and feuding with Bryan is only a rumor at this point and less likely than the original scenario of Bryan and Cena coming out of Mania as champions.

With WrestleMania only 9 days away, WWE will be finalizing booking plans very soon and we’ll see how it all goes down next weekend.

* SAMOA JOE & The BRISCOE BROTHERS Headed To NXT Soon?

As noted recently, Kurt Angle announced at the Impact Wrestling television tapings last night that he will be taking some time off due to the fact that he has a tumor that will require surgery.

Initially it was not clear if the Angle tumor story was a legitimate issue or an angle, as TNA did use the situation as part of Angle’s storyline with Ethan Carter III during the show. Now, however, we can confirm that he is indeed suffering from a legitimate tumor in his neck.

Apparently Angle has had a benign tumor in his neck for quite a while now, possibly dating back as far as a year. The tumor began giving Angle problems lately, particularly with issues of muscular atrophy, so he was forced to address the issue and get it taken care of.
