WHY BROCK ALMOST RETURNED TO UFC, LUCHA LEGEND AT THE RUMBLE, EDGE ON DDP RADIO AND MORE NEWS

By Mike Johnson on 2013-01-28 13:25:04
WWE World champion Alberto Del Rio's father, the legendary Dos Caras, was in attendance at last night's Royal Rumble PPV.

Kevin Nash, who was in town for AXXESS, was also backstage at the Rumble.

Tool guitarist Adam Jones was also at the show and before the PPV went on the air, proposed to his fiance in a moment that was broadcast on the Titantron in the venue. Thankfully for him, she said yes!

MMAFighting.com featured a video of UFC President Dana White from over the weekend, noting that at one point, he was negotiating for Brock Lesnar to return for one final fight against Fedor Emelianenko, but it didn't happen. That fight would have been HUGE. White also noted that when he claimed a meeting with Lesnar went awful last year, it was actually a great meeting over putting that fight together, so he was trying to throw the media off the story. Obviously, it doesn't matter now since Lesnar is locked in for a new 2 year WWE deal (as we broke yesterday) but it's an interesting look into what could have been:

WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka just underwent surgery for a hernia. We wish him well in his recovery.

Our friends at www.ringsidecollectibles.com are currently running a Royal Rumble themed sale on 30 items.

WWE Hall of Famer Adam "Edge" Copeland will be on DDP's radio show tomorrow.  Thanks to Terri Bey.

The following press release was issued today:
