Would Steve Austin Return To WWE?, WWE-MSG, & More

WWE returns to the Civic Complex in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada on September 12th for a Raw house show. Tickets go on sale June 23rd.

-- As noted earlier, WWE runs a Supershow in Madison Square Garden on June 19th. This will be the final WWE show there before the new renovations that are set to be made to the Garden get underway. The New York Post has a story up discussing the renovations, that will include premium seats in a sky bridge five stories above the center of the arena.

-- While promoting his upcoming movie projects, Steve Austin was again asked about a return to pro wrestling. Here is what he had to say… "There comes a certain point in every wrestler's career where they realize they need to get th

eir ass out of the ring. Professional wrestling will always be my first love and I will always be grateful for all of my fans and what I was able to accomplish in the ring. But now, acting is what I am focused on now. I realize that I'm back to being the ‘green' guy again but you just have to keep working at getting better, and I think that's what I'm doing. I am learning something new every day about working in Hollywood and it's a whole new game compared to what I was used to with the WWE."

This week's Ladder takes a look at the start of the build towards the Fatal 4 Way Pay-Per-View and some Over The Limit fallout.

I'm not putting Randy Orton in this spot because he did anything wrong, but I can't move him up based on the circumstances he is now in. Orton was injured in his match at Over The Limit but still made an appearance on RAW and got himself into the Fatal 4 Way Main Event. However, Orton didn't even appear until the final segment of the night and had no mic time. He probably won't be involved in any kind of physical confrontations leading up to the PPV, but both he and WWE know if he took any time off of TV it would kill his push. For now, he'll have to rely on his promo skills and hope he is ready to go for the next pay-per-view.

WWE Star Batista Training For An MMA Career

WWE superstar Batista, who is parting ways with the wrestling promotion, is training for a possible career in Mixed Martial Arts.

WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross commented in his blog at JRsBarBQ.com about the news that Batista would be following in Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley’s footsteps. He wrote:

“I’ve heard some rumblings that when Batista gets healthy that he might try his hand in the MMA world. This rumor is FAR from official but I do know that Batista has been doing some MMA training and has a bona fide interest in the genre,” Ross said.

He added, “This would be a huge challenge for Batista if he indeed attempts to compete in MMA at a high level which, again, is not a done deal.”
