Morning, everyone!
It’s Wednesday, hump day, and we’re here with more Morning Daily News! Niz’s review of NXT should be along shortly, and in case you missed it, make sure you read Kat’s review of Monday’s Raw!
Today also marks 25 years since the infamous Bash at the Beach 2000 pay-per-view, where Hulk Hogan won the WCW World Title from Jeff Jarrett after Jarrett lay down in the middle of the ring to allow Hogan to pin him. This led Vince Russo to come out and “fire” Hogan live on air. Also, Happy Birthday to Johnny B. Badd himself, Marc Mero. Mero has an autobiography that came out earlier this year, and you can check it out here!
