Backstage News On Brock Lesnar's WWE RAW Promo, Hulk Hogan On Gawker Being Shut Down, Finn Balor
- As you probably would have guessed, Brock Lesnar's line on this past Monday's RAW where he told Heath Slater that he didn't "give a sh-t about [his] kids" was not scripted. Dave Meltzer noted in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer that Lesnar apparently did not get in any trouble for the promo, and that there has been nothing said about it from WWE officials.
- Finn Balor will be appearing at Toys R Us in the Bronx on Friday from 2-4 p.m at 350 Baychester Ave.
- As noted, Gawker announced today that it will be shutting down operations next week after nearly fourteen years in the aftermath of a $140 million court decision awarded to Hulk Hogan in his invasion-of-privacy case against them. Hogan commented on Gawker's misfortunes, writing on Twitter:
They messed with the wrong guy brother HH
