    WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper has been hospitalized in Oregon for surgery after being sent home from WWE’s tour of the United Kingdom. Piper’s original diagnosis was kidney stones, however, sources close to the situation say the former World Tag Team Champion’s surgery may be a result of disc problems.

    Due to Piper's injury, he will not participate at Survivor Series and will be replaced by a Legend to be named later. Ric Flair will now be the lone captain of the Legends team and Kenny will captain the Spirit

    Former WCW wrestler Bobby Eaton did indeed suffer a heart attack a few weeks ago. He denied having it because he didn't want his bookings to be canceled. He was back wrestling less than two weeks after his heart attack. Also, now he is doing wrestling angles based on the attack. During the 10/26 show in Alcoa, Tennessee, they brought back the heart punch gimmick for his opponent to use on Eaton as a finisher. The promotion explained to the crowd before the match that Eaton had "numerous complications with his heart over the last few months."

    Mexican wrestling film legend dies at 80

    Wed Nov 01, 5:58 PM ET


    Daniel Garcia, who starred as Huracan (Hurricane) Ramirez during the golden age of Mexican wrestling films in the 1960s, has died of a heart attack, family members said on Wednesday.

    Garcia, who died on Tuesday at the age of 80, wore a blue-and-white mask in matches in Asia, South America and the Caribbean. He also played leading roles in several movies during his three-decade-long career.

    His identity was not revealed until he retired in 1987.

    Garcia's on-screen persona, Huracan Ramirez, and other masked wrestlers fought vampires, international crime organizations and Martians in low-budget, but extremely imaginative movies treasured by cult-film collectors worldwide.

    At Cyber Sunday, history will be made as the champions of all three WWE brands step into the ring to see who the “Champion of Champions” really is. This is the first time three champions have gone head to head, but it will not be the first champion vs. champion match in sports-entertainment history.

    Before the Monday Night Wars, and even before the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling era of the mid-1980s, WWE and the NWA were fighting for supremacy. The best way to claim it was to find out whose champion was the best, so there were a few instances where the respective champions squared off to settle the score.
