Well, Bill Goldberg took a buyout on his contract by AOL/Times-Warner, and he's a free agent now.

Suddenly, he's pulling a 180 on his words against the WWF, saying he'd consider working for the federation after all.

Remember, this is a guy nursing a broken hand right now, caused by him pounding on a car in anger because it conked out on him during a celebrity Pro-Am.

He's two-faced, snaps at nearly everything, and clumsy in the ring - something that caused many real injuries to performers, and, in one case, causing a forced retirement for one (Bret Hart). This is NOT a guy Vince would be smart to consider hiring, if he considered it at all.

Well, the WWF finally showed some class: although a bit late, they aired a tribute to Wahoo McDaniel and Lou Thesz on Smackdown!

It looks like the end for DDP's wrestling career... doctors have warned him that the injuries he's sustained mean if he takes a bad bump in the ring, he may be crippled for the rest of his life.

I liked how he grew into the business at first, but he's looked pretty slow in the ring of late. I don't wish him ill... I hope he listens to doctors warnings.

The wrestling world lost a true legend this morning: Lou Thesz died at 86 after heart surgery.

Some will remember him as a crabby man who railed against modern pro-wrestling every chance he could - but he had more than a right to. This 6-time World champion performed in the ring in 7 different decades . WCW inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 1993. Again, he more than deserved it.

He was the recent author of Hooker: An Authentic Wrestler's Adventures Inside the Bizarre World of Professional Wrestling, a biography that earned much praise by insiders in the business.

In the days before microphone skills and camera presence became the most important thing, Lou got over by just being a talented, knowledgable worker. Losing him is another thing wrestling historians (like me) will feel for a long time.
