Ashley’s latest injury would be her fourth brush with pain this year. In February, Ashley suffered a spiral crack in her left fibula while being eliminated from a women’s Battle Royal. The injury required surgery because a plate had to be positioned in her leg. She was on crutches for about two months. In August, Massaro’s right knuckle shattered during a match with Kristal Marshall. Ashley had to wear a hand cast for four weeks, but no surgery was required. If that wasn’t enough, Ashley was involved in a car accident after leaving the LaGuardia Airport in New York a few weeks later. The accident occurred on a nearby highway going about 60 miles an hour. Ashley seemed fined from the accident, but her car was wrecked.
WWE and Madison Square Garden will be making some sort of joint announcement next Tuesday. There is no word yet on what the announcement will be, but it will probably be for a major PPV to be held in the building next year. SummerSlam was originally scheduled to take place in MSG, but then it was moved to the Continental Airlines Arena. Perhaps SummerSlam in MSG is back on. Practically all of the WWE PPVs scheduled for next year already have their venues booked.
Hulk Hogan was on the Bubba the Love Sponge yesterday. Hogan said that he still wants a match with Steve Austin at WrestleMania. TNA was also brought up and Hogan said that for the right price he would go to TNA. Bubba asked if $6 million per year was the right price and Hogan laughed and said that kind of money isn’t even in his league. Hulk Hogan also said that Swede Hanson and Angelo Mosca were the toughest guys in wrestling he came across.
