The Future Of OVW, Brooke Hogan In Miami, Flair Turns 59, & More
Brooke Hogan was spotted in Miami Beach this weekend with mother Linda and brother Nick. Hulk, who is currently in the midst of a divorce with Linda, was nowhere to be found. As reported, the upcoming season of "Hogan Knows Best" will focus around Brooke and not the whole family.
Former news anchor and potential future WWE Diva Alycia Lane apparently "wasn't quite crazazy enough to assault a cop" — and will get off with just a day of community service for an alleged smackdown back in December. Lane was in court this morning, where the Manhattan DA took the felony charge of assault down to a minor obstruction and harassment charge — to which Lane plead not guilty. According to the DA, the scratches she made on the NYPD officer in question — when she also allegedly called the cop "a f***ing dyke" — didn't rise to the legal definition of physical injury. "I'm so glad this is over," said Lane. She didn't respond when asked if her next gig might be in wrestling.
