--- Bruce Hart claims that Tyson Kidd's wrestling career is over, suggests WWE refused to pay for an ambulance
The broken neck that WWE superstar Tyson Kidd suffered during a dark match with Samoa Joe on the June 1st Monday Night Raw tapings remains a controversial topic.
The true severity of the injury wasn't disclosed until five weeks later when Kidd tweeted a picture of his surgically repaired neck and commented that he was lucky to survive such severe neck trauma:
Indeed, Dave Meltzer in the July 20th Wrestling Observer Newsletter likened the injury to the one Christopher Reeve suffered in a horse riding accident on May 27th, 1995, that left him a quadriplegic. It is believed that Kidd's thickly muscled neck saved him from suffering a similar or even worse fate.
Although the broken neck is generally believed to have been a freak accident, Bret Hart (the uncle of Kidd's wife Natalya) blamed the risky nature of Joe's finishing move the Muscle Buster and criticised WWE for not giving them enough time to plan out their match beforehand:
"It seems to me there was a lot of poor planning involved in that injury. I don’t know whose fault it is or why an injury like that happened, but someone is accountable. The WWE has done a lot in the last few years to improve conditions for wrestlers. They have doctors there and they give wrestlers adequate time to prepare, but in looking at what happened with Tyson Kidd, clearly there is still a lot of room for improvement.
[The Muscle Buster is] extremely dangerous. The move that Samoa Joe did was reckless, and the way they rushed that match beforehand in the back without giving Tyson time to prepare was mistake."
It should be noted that during his 16 year wrestling career, this was the first time that Joe had ever seriously hurt an opponent with the Muscle Buster, so it seems unfair to blame the move itself.
Now, another of Natalya's uncles, Bruce Hart, has given an interview with the Main Event Madness podcast where he had much harsher criticism than even his brother Bret about WWE's handling of the injury, including alleging that WWE initially refused to pay for an ambulance to take Kidd to a hospital to get checked out:
"I was taken aback when I heard about, just the way WWE handled it. He injured his neck quite badly in that match with Samoa Joe. I was told when he [Tyson Kidd] was in the dressing room after, one agent, he indifferently said 'go take your shower'. [Kidd] said 'no my neck is really f***ed up' and I was told [the agent] said 'we're not going to pay for an ambulance' and they were almost making it out like he was a hypochondriac. My niece Nattie, his wife, they said if you wanted to go to the hospital it's your choice. She set out for the hospital and got lost in San Antonio and she finally got there after some kind of driving around. When they got there, they did the CT scans and MRIs and immediately determined that it was a near fatal injury. It was a fraction of an inch from either being a fatality or a paralysis from the neck down type thing."
Thankfully, according to Bruce, once WWE became fully aware of the severity of the injury, the company went out of their way to provide Kidd with the best treatment, although clearly that would not forgive them for their initial scepticism and frugalness if these allegations are true:
"They notified the WWE of this, and I was told there were only 3 or 4 places in the US where they can perform this type of microsurgery that would stabilize and do what they needed to for his neck. They had to at that point charter a some kind of air ambulance from San Antonio to Florida, which was the closest place that did that type of surgery. I heard that cost $100,000 and they had to fly him back for that."
However, Bruce claims that even with that specialist treatment Kidd's wrestling career is certainly over and with such a prognosis WWE's concern for his recovery has disappeared too:
"At this point I was told they haven't made any contact, WWE hasn't called, some of the wrestlers have called TJ, as I know him. At this point as far as i've been told it's certain his career's over and that he's fortunate to not be a paraplegic."
It should be noted that Bruce Hart has been an outspoken critic of WWE's for many, many years and his track record for credibility isn't the best. Former Cageside Seats writer David Bixenspan dubbed Bruce's autobiography Straight From The Hart "entertaining, but problematic", due to the book being "filled with statements that often come off as pretty out there, whether it's bad memory or an agenda or something else."
Unsurprisingly, given that he's still employed by WWE, Tyson Kidd has already took to Twitter to deny Bruce Hart's claims and attempt to kill the story dead:
I wouldn't be surprised if Tyson Kidd's claim that he hasn't spoken to Bruce Hart recently is true, given that the Hart family is no longer a tight knit group, but given that Bruce is related to his wife Natalya, it also seems highly likely that Bruce has spoken to people who have talked with Tyson. Which suggests that there may be some truth to Bruce Hart's claims, unless he's made them all up wholesale.

---Bret Hart's views on The Kliq DVD and Owen Hart DVD
Bret Hart has been in the wrestling news as much lately as he's been since he returned to WWE in the Aughts, and it's largely because the Hall of Famer speaks his mind with pretty much zero regard for the reaction his take on things will bring.
He and Hulk Hogan have engaged in a back-and-forth over the past week or so, and with his new interview on The LAW with The Fight Network's John Pollock, The Hitman was pulling no punches on a couple of different topics while out supporting The March of Dimes Canada's stroke recovery efforts.
For starters, Pollock and Hart talked about WWE's recent release of The Kliq Rules DVD, and the general re-packaging of history around the locker room group that ruled backstage in the then-WWF of the mid-to-late 90s:
They were literally a cancer in the dressing room, all of them.
I think they're all...I don't doubt that Shawn Michaels is sorry for a lot of that kind of behaviour. Kevin Nash was a great wrestler and a good guy, but I don't think he could be that proud of that association. It was a cancerous environment in the dressing room with those guys and they certainly did more negative than positive harm to the business.
Scott Hall, all you have to do is just look at him. He's a train-wreck with his own life and he was a malcontent, or a guy that when you were close to him long enough you started to feel the same way he did; you just felt so self-destructive and unhappy with your life and your job and everything. He was a guy that was infectious with his bad, bad sort of moods and bad unhappiness in his own life that would spread to all the other wrestlers.
It's noteworthy that his takedown of the group neglects to really mention Triple H. While the man behind Razor Ramon pretty much gets both barrels from Bret, Hunter is only mentioned in passing when Hart responds to Pollock's assertion that The Kliq are praised today by asking, "Praised by who? Triple H?"
Asked for a status report on the highly anticipated WWE Home Video's chronicle of his late brother Owen's life and career, Owen: Hart of Gold, it's clear that the company isn't the only thing that hasn't been able to make peace with his brother's widow, Martha:
I'm looking forward to it but I'm not really optimistic that it's going to be a great job. Martha handcuffed them so much. I don't know if they're even allowed to use any pictures from the past.
It's a poorly done DVD because of all the restraints and the limitations that Martha put on it. To me, that's such a lousy thing to have happen. I think Owen would turn in his grave if he knew how much trouble Martha has gone to erase his career and make sure that nobody enjoys anything about his career today. It's a bitterness and selfishness that I can't stand by anymore.
I think Martha's taken the wrong approach and she should understand that, you know, we all miss Owen. I lost a brother, I lost a great friend and maybe one of the closest people I knew on this earth. I want to celebrate his career, I want to watch his matches back - not just with me, but with everybody he worked with.
His time with WWE, they got so much footage and so many great memories with Owen, and here she is standing in the way of that saying, "Nobody can see these videos. No one should see anything that brings back any of his career."
They couldn't use any pictures from his childhood, they couldn't use anything from Stampede Wrestling. They had so many restraints. Even the interviews, the questions that they did with me were so bullshit. The whole thing was so bullshit that sure, there's an Owen Hart DVD, but it's the shits...I think WWE maybe had good intentions, but I'm not very impressed with the quality that it's going to be.
I haven't seen it, I'm not optimistic but I'm hoping that it'll be better than I think. But I could tell by the questions that they asked me and the interview that they did with me that it was a very short version of [Owen's story]...I'm not really gonna hold up hope that it's gonna be as great as it should be, and I feel bad because that's Martha's fault.

Brother of Kurt Angle charged with homicide after wife found dead in Dormont home
By Lexi Belculfine and Molly Born / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Allegheny County police charged a Dormont man with homicide after his wife was found dead in their home this morning.
David Angle, 62, is being held in the Allegheny County Jail awaiting arraignment on the homicide charge, county police Lt. Andrew Schurman said.
Mr. Angle is the older brother of former Olympian and professtional wrestler Kurt Angle, his manager Dave Hawk confirmed.
Dormont police and paramedics responded at 6:24 a.m. to the 1000 block of Peermont Avenue for report of a domestic disturbance and a woman not breathing. There they found Donna Angle, 57, unresponsive on the floor of the living room.
She was taken to St. Clair Hospital and pronounced dead at 7:13 a.m.
"Due to the situation Kurt would appreciate if you can honor his family's request for privacy at his difficult time," Mr. Hawk said in a text message.
In an interview with police, David Angle said he and wife were in the living room at about 3 a.m. this morning when she offered him some vodka, county homicide Detective Scott Towne wrote in a criminal complaint. He told her he didn't want any, but she continued to "badger him about drinking with her," and it escalated into an argument, the complaint continued.
"He said all of their arguments revolved around alcohol and added that he has 'anger issues,'" the detective wrote.
After his wife tried to kick him, he "grabbed both of her arms, pulled her off the couch, put his foot on her chest and then pulled," the complaint said. He told police he couldn't recall how long he did that but said "it was not for minutes."
He told police she became unconscious and he tried unsuccessfully to revive her before calling 911.
An Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office supervisor said Ms. Angle's autopsy would be later today.
The couple bought the home where she was found dead today nearly 23 years ago, county assessment records show.

Fuck Jimmy Snuka and I believe he killed his mistress. I believe his neighbor who said he beat up his wife when he saw her bruises on her body. He looks crazy and looks like a woman beater.

This is the first time Ray has beaten his wife and if he hadn't been caught on video, he would still be playing for the Ravens. I do think he was stupid for dissing the Ravens owner and general manager to the media when they were gonna support him and let him still play. I think he was mad at the Ravens because they changed their mind about letting him play after they saw the video and I guess I can understand why he spoke bad about them. They shouldn't have changed their mind after they saw the video.
