10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 5)

Find out what WWE forced Lana to change this week.

The ever-changing nature of the professional wrestling business means that news is constantly revolving around the industry, getting to fans quicker than ever before. On one hand, this gives promotions instant access to their target demographic, but also makes it a little more difficult to spin stories out for more than a few short weeks. Longevity isn't exactly prevalent in today's wrestling world, which only makes it all the more surprising that the likes of Kane continues to have a featured role on WWE programming. Making his debut in 1997, Glenn Jacobs has constantly tweaked his character to try and stay relevant, which is likely a trick he picked up from his storyline brother, The Undertaker. In this week's article, the age of the internet is discussed by one current wrestling promoter, along with the age-old argument of internet piracy. Sitting nicely alongside that debate is news on the plans for a Owen Hart DVD, one WWE Hall Of Famer weighing in on the need for the Elimination Chamber in today's WWE, and the tragic passing of a highly-regarded in-ring warrior. As if that wasn't enough, one former WCW and WWE World Champion talks about the chances of him ever returning to work for Vince McMahon, revealing something pretty startling in the same breath.
