Announces Black Lives Matter donation

Donation0 Comments

Tidal in association with Roc Nation announces $1.5 billion in funds from a previous charity concert will be donated to Black Lives Matter. Roc Nation says the team will support a different initiative each year.

The process of acquiring recommendations [for nonprofits] was collaborative and inspired by the message that speaks to racial and social inequities and injustice in our society.

WCW-debut

0 Comments

Madusa debuts on WCW Monday Nitro by showing up with the WWF Women’s title belt, which she never lost, and dropping it a trash can on live television.

I was under contract and was told to do what I had to do, and if not, you’re fired and would have no income coming in. Eric Bischoff told me that I had to put the WWE women’s title in the trash on television, or that was it.

Eliminated from NXT

0 Comments

Lee is eliminated from the all-female NXT Season 3 competition.

I’ve wanted this my entire life and I have fought to get here. Every step I have taken has been for this moment, to be in this ring, and there is not one thing that is ever going to stop me. So if you think that this is the last time you’ve seen AJ you are sorely mistaken because I will be back and I am going to accomplish all of my dreams.

Joins NXT

Casting0 Comments

Lee joins the all-female third season of NXT.

I’m representing all the nerds out there. You know, not every girl is into pink and heels, you can be different. I’ve never dreamed of being anything but a Diva. There’s no getting rid of me.

Signs WWE contract

Hired0 Comments

Lee signs her first contract with World Wrestling Entertainment after paying $1,500 to participate in a tryout and begins working in the company’s developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.

I began saving my money. I just thought, whether I get signed or not, they just need to see me. Fate must have taken over, because I was so skinny and didn’t know how to do my hair and makeup. I was just a blank canvas, and they took a chance on me.

Retains title

Wins Sport Event0 Comments

Rousey retains her bantamweight title after defeating Cat Zingano by armbar submission in fourteen seconds at UFC 148.

I was thinking that Cat might try and come and jump in on me right away because so many people were telling her that she was a slow starter and I’ve seen her try to do flying knees in the beginning. Because no one’s ever charged me before so they might think that might work. And the armbar, where it was behind the arm, I was practicing that completely facing a different direction but I’m glad I could adapt in a really weird scramble like that.

Denies Green Lantern rumors

Interview0 Comments

Rodriguez denies rumors that she will star in Green Lantern when asked about the role by TMZ.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I think it’s so stupid because of this whole minorities in Hollywood thing. Stop stealing all the white people’s superheroes. Make up your own, you know what I’m saying? What’s up with that?

Star Trek

TV Appearance0 Comments

Nimoy portrays “Spock” in the premiere of Star Trek, an NBC science fiction television series also starring William Shatner and DeForest Kelley. On landing the role:

I did this job in an episode of The Lieutenant series for Gene Roddenberry. A few weeks after I finished the job my agent called me and said, ‘Gene Roddenberry, producer of The Lieutenant show, saw the footage, was interested in you, liked what you did, and said that he has in mind for you a role in a pilot that he’s developing for a science fiction series.” Period. I really didn’t give it a lot of thought. You hear that kind of thing and you’re a long way from getting a job.
