Former WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall has been in a drug treatment facility in Atlanta, Georgia for seven weeks and is said to be embracing rehab fully for the first time in his life. Hall was given an intervention of sorts by family & friends and agreed without a struggle to accept World Wrestling Entertainment's offer to pay for rehab treatment. Hall had been out of circulation for so long that WWE wasn't able to get him his merchandise royalties, so along with the company paying for his treatment, he received a nice check for back royalties as well. After his stint in rehab comes to a close, Hall plans on resuming his wrestling career as he is already accepting dates from indy promoters for the summer.
Hall is a legend in the ring. He will be remembered as one of the original members of nWo and addition, Hall's first two ladder matches ever with Shawn Michaels will go down in history as some of the greatest matches in business history. Get well soon Scott! The wrestling world will be waiting...
Avril Lavigne's world tour which has been struggling to sell tickets bombed on opening night in Canada. All of her radio hit singles didn't seem to impress the crowd as a local colonist from Victoria Times wrote.
"For the most part, I like Lavigne's music and have taken it upon myself to argue the point repeatedly to the non-fans who will listen.
But Wednesday night wasn't an occasion I would go on the record for with unwavering support.
Granted, it was the opening night of her world tour - which includes 15 dates in Canada - but the so-billed Best Damn Tour wasn't even the Somewhat OK Damn Tour; it was just plain disappointing. "
We know her husband's tour, Sum 41, is also doing bad, it will be interesting to see if either one or both of their tours end up being canceled.
