WWE News for 2/1/06

A report today in the Palm Beach Post claims a tanning booth attendant in the Tanzabar tanning salon in Boca Raton lists Vince McMahon as having groped her and sexually harrassed her.

The story claims the police report on the alleged incident will be made public later this week.

McMahon lives in Boca Raton at the Excelsior, but couldn't be reached for comments. His wife, Linda, called the claim "totally bizarre," and daughter Stephanie McMahon confirmed Vince goes to that tanning bed, but was not aware of anything going on.

Hmm....maybe now he'll stop acting so damn creepy when he's in character.

-- WWE has not yet started the drug testing that they have announced, or their "wellness program". That includes even things like cardio tests that are very simple to have done.

-- A lot of people backstage were confused about John Cena's entrance at the Royal Rumble on Sunday, and didn't think it really accomplished anything.

-- Tazz and Michael Cole have heat on them for complaining about Ken Kennedy being added to their broadcast team. Cole is said to have complained more than Tazz.

-- Kurt Angle was initially unhappy with the decision to give Edge the title from Cena, as he thought he had worked the hardest to get himself over. However, as luck would have it, Batista ended up getting injured and WWE chose Angle to get the title.

In today's New York Post features an article today talking about how Hulk Hogan recently spent $12 million for a 21,000 square foot mansion in Miami. It has 14 bedrooms, a 6,000 square-foot decorative pond, a 5,000 square-foot wrestling ring customized for the Hulk, and a three-story spiral staircase that runs through the middle of the home.

For those of you who are still interested in putchasing ticket for WrestleMania, you still have the chance. Althought Ticketmaster say they are sold out, if you go to Ticketsnow.com there are quite a lot of tickets available.

WWE officially signed Goldust to a new deal this past Monday. He is back with the RAW brand fulltime.

WWE have also officially signed Eric, who will be portraying one third of Orlando Jordan's new bisexual triangle. Eric was backstage at SmackDown a few weeks ago, he has no prior experience working in the wrestling business and is a close friend of Jordan's from outside of wrestling who lives in Florida. The plan is to put Jordan, Eric, and former TNA star Trinity together within WWE storylines.

Damn. Vince has been a bad boy.

I'm tired of them using Eddie's name. This week, Orton says Eddie is in hell on SD to Rey.

Honestly, Kurt is already over and I'm disgusted with the fact that the WWE made him try to "get himself over". He's had almost 7 years to do it and he's done it with perfection. They are going to kill Kurt Angle. This guy puts his body on the line for them every night and goes balls out trying to make subpar workers look good (i.e. Cena, Henry) yet they only gave the title to him b/c Batista got injured? How stupid are they? If TNA had the funds, I'm sure they would put the title on Angle in a heartbeat if they were to sign him. This guy is just so awesome, he deserves better treatment.

I wonder when we'll see Shelly Martinez and Beth Phoenix now that Trinity's coming up.

Here's an update:

We have a follow up story on the allegations made against Vince McMahon by a tanning salon attendant.

This past Sunday, the day of the supposed incident, the Royal Rumble took place in Miami, FL. We knew that Vince was in town until at least 11 p.m. that night, as he was seen talking with Joey Styles after the show as soon as Styles came through the curtain (which we discussed on our Tuesday Hot News Hotline in the Elite section).

Boca Raton is roughly 47 miles from Miami, which would mean that Vince would have had to practically run out of the building and gone directly to the salon in order to tan, which was hard to believe on its own. Then, in talking to a high placed WWE source, I found out that Vince was not in Boca Raton at all that day (or night).

On top of that, when we called "Tanzabar", where the attendant alleged the incident happened, they told us that they were closed on Sunday, making the story even more suspect.

I really don't feel bad about Kurt Angle being upset about not getting the title when he wanted because he's so injured and beat. He should have just had the surgery that Steve Austin and Test among others had on their necks instead of taking the cheaper/easier route so he could return faster. Now his neck is acting up again.

Does anyone else see Kurt Angle going another 5 years like he says?

I really don't. He may have the enthusiasm and the drive to do it, but his body will fail him really soon. I've heard that he's in such horrible shape. I fear that he'll keel over soon.

More details on the Vince McMahon Tanning Salon incident have come out, including comments from a customer who was in the tanning salon the same time as McMahon.

According to an article by Chrystian Tegedor in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the alleged incident took place at the Tanzabar Tanning Salon in Boca Raton on Saturday (not Sunday, which had previously been reported, and as noted on earlier, Tanzabar is closed Sundays). The article goes over the police report items that have already been covered, however what makes the Sun-Sentinel article interesting is comments from Kelly McMahon (no relation to Vince), who was also a customer at Tanzabar on Saturday and claims McMahon was there.

Kelly McMahon was quoted as saying, "He was nothing but a gentleman. He shook my hand three times." Kelly claims her and Vince were engaged in a conversation about their shared last name. She also stated that "He showed no signs of coming on to [the employee]. He was talking to me. She was trying to interrupt our conversation." Kelly also states in the article that she didn't realize Vince was famous until she later spoke to her husband.

The article also quotes WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt, who states that Boca Raton Police told him the alleged incident happened on Sunday, and that McDevitt had pointed out to them that Vince McMahon was not in town that day (Sunday). McDevitt did confirm to the Sun-Sentinel that Vince was in town Saturday, and has been a Tanzabar customer in the past.
