Bruno Sammartino told the Baltimore Sun he met with Vince McMahon a few years ago as a favor to his lawyer. "Vince acted like there were never any ill feelings between he and I. He acted very friendly — 'Hey, you son of a gun, you look great.' So we went in a room, and somebody said that Vince has nothing but respect for the old-timers. And boy did that give me the opening. That’s when I had to open my mouth and I have no regrets about it.
"I said, 'I’m sorry, but I think you have shown nothing but disrespect for the old-timers. You bring some of the old-timers here, whether it’s Lou Albano or [Killer] Kowalski or Domenic DeNucci or [Baron Mikel] Scicluna or whoever, and whether it’s a big show or a pay-per-view, and you toss these guys $1,000, $1,500 or maybe $2,000 if they’re really lucky. But yet you bring in Mike Tyson and you give him $3.5 million to be outside the ring refereeing a special event.
"'You brought Pete Rose and other athletes from baseball and football and you give them six figures for an appearance. People that have done nothing for this business, and a lot of them look at it as a joke. But those who have given their whole life to this business and never made any real money, what do they get for all those years of banging their bodies up? And a lot of them are physically practically handicapped. They get a bone thrown at them. This is respect for the old-timers? Give me a break.'”

WWE has put out a casting call seeking Brazilian woman 18-27 years old, beautiful, fit, and must speak and understand Portuguese and English. They are also looking for women who fit the same description but speak Spanish and English. They are accepting applications through the middle of this month. As we have been reporting WWE is gearing up to target South America next year. WWE superstar Santino Marella (real name real name Anthony Carelli) was arrested this morning and charged with Driving Under the Influence in Tampa, Florida.
TMZ.com reports that he pulled over after cops witnessed his car drifting back and forth -- he had "bloodshot, watery and glassy eyes." He failed two field sobriety tests -- including one in which he couldn't hold his balance. He told officers he started drinking at midnight, and had three Miller Lights and one Kamikaze.
According to the police report, he was arrested at 6301 West Shore Boulevard with a blood alcohol level of 0.061, below Florida's legal limit in 0.08. Santino was then booked in Hillsborough County jail at 4:36 a.m. on $500 bail.
The arrest record indicates WWE as the name of his employer, which is technically inaccurate, since Santino is an independent contractor and not an actual employee of the company.
