Title : NOTES & NEWS FOR TUESDAY 5/1/12
Author : Bob Mulrenin
Date : 05/01/2012 (09:28:43 PM)
Just wanted to send a quick update to my #BretForTheWalk campaign which I launched to get Bret Hart considered for Canada's Walk of Fame (like the Hollywood Walk of Fame).
I posted a blog here: http://blogs.thescore.com/aftermath/2012/04/30/bretforthewalk-campaign-what-a-ride/ - the news item is that due to the thousands of votes received, Canada's Walk of Fame CEO Peter Soumalias has confirmed that Bret Hart will be among those discussed for inclusion this year.
Bret was the top vote getter among those living (Phil Hartman received more votes, as a campaign for him ran all year instead of 3 weeks like ours). Bret received the most votes of anyone else. 7 in total get inducted, one posthumously. The decision is now in the hands of the COWFame committee who will take the month of May to decide.
The original campaign launch blog is here: http://blogs.thescore.com/aftermath/2012/04/11/bret-hart-for-canadas-walk-of-fame/

AAA matchmaker Konnan has launched his new weekly podcast, MLW's Konnan Show presented by Masked Republic's LuchaShop.com. A variety of topics were discussed this week and Konnan even had some surprise callers, including AAA star Teddy Hart. Konnan had previously appeared on MLW Radio and told a story about how Kurt Angle had claimed to him that Vince McMahon mails flowers to Angle every week with a note asking Angle to return to WWE. Kurt Angle recently responded on Twitter and accused Konnan of lying. Konnan had this to say about Angle's twitter rant:
"All I can say is that it did happen. Obviously, when people are embarrassed or don't remember, they're going to refute it. If we can get him on the show one day, I'll say it to him over the phone. There's no problem. He did tell me that. He said, 'Yeah man, Vince McMahon sends me flowers every week hoping for me to come back.' I was just thinking to myself, yeah right."
You can listen to MLW's Konnan Show presented by Masked Republic's LuchaShop.com for FREE at www.MLW.com and on iTunes (search: KONNAN SHOW) and syndicated via www.Stitcher.com
Other topics include:
-Konnan's thoughts on the fake Konnan Twitter account
-Court Bauer makes a cameo to catch up with Teddy Hart about H2 and more
-Andre the Giant and Yokozuna wrestling in Mexico
-What wrestling companies can learn from successful companies like Nike
-The concussion epidemic in sports
-What is was like for Teddy Hart to be a contracted WWE wrestler at the age of 17
MLW's Konnan Show is part of the MLW Radio Network and a new episode is available every Monday on MLW.com. New episodes of MLW Radio are available every Thursday and this week the guest on MLW Radio will be none other than THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR.
