 -- WWE announced today that the recently-concluded European Tour in November grossed $15.1 million with sell-outs in the U.K., France, and Germany. This was the highest grossing international tour in WWE history, breaking the previous record of $14.5 million from WWE's last European tour in April of this year.
-- WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart is featured on the main page of TMZ.com. TMZ cameras caught Bret in Washington D.C. yesterday and asked him if he's still "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be." TMZ calls the video one of the most depressing ones they've ever shot. You can check it out at this link.
-- A video recently surfaced online of WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper smoking marijuana from a bong in front of a crowd. TMZ.com has an article (and video) on the situation, which you can check out at the following TMZ.com. The incident took place this past August at the Gathering of the Juggalos -- an Insane Clown Posse fan festival. Regarding the incident, Piper issued the following statement to TMZ: "I am not an advocate of using drugs, however due to the lack of appropriate medicine, this alternative treatment was recommended to alleviate the symptoms associated with cancer." Piper was diagnosed with cancer in November 2006. Last nights episode of TMZ featured a segment on the story, which included footage of Piper wrestling Hollywood Hogan at WCW Starrcade 1996. In the segment, the TMZ narrator questioned Piper's decision to smoke weed passed on from someone who's obviously not a doctor after running his statement on it being medical. They lampooned Piper's "medical excuse" more by running down the excuses Arnold Schwarzenegger, Snoop Dogg and Woody Harrelson likely would have used in order to smoke pot.
