Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade React To Report They Were Released By WWE For Being Lazy
Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade were two of the multiple WWE Superstars to be released by WWE on May 1. In a follow-up report, F4WOnline.com's Dave Meltzer shared feedback provided to him by a source inside WWE. This source claimed many of the cuts were due to talent who were viewed as 'not working hard in training.'

'Many of those cuts were perceived as not working hard in training. And if you don't work hard in training, there's so many people who do. And at this point, if the feeling is you're not working hard in training – I saw the term 'lazy' – the ones who are lazy are gonna be gone, and the ones who didn't stand out are gonna be gone,' Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio.
Gigi Dolin doesn't want to ever hear someone say she didn't work hard enough
Gigi Dolin took issue with this view, reacting to an aggregated quote of Meltzer's with the following response:
'When I wasn't traveling to work for either of the two companies I was working for, I trained very hard 3-4 days a week. Bumping my ass off and doing cardio drills with one of the best/toughest coaches I've worked with,' she wrote. 'And worked out every single day. With live events every other weekend. So yeah I don't wanna hear this lol. The way my body feels says otherwise.'

Cora Jade also replied to Dolin's post, claiming she was still body-shamed despite all of the hard work they had put in.
'This, plus can't forget having to go to my own gym outside of work after 'strength and conditioning' that wasn't doing anything for me other than get me body shamed by my bosses, coworkers, and fans
��
crazy!' Cora wrote.
Gigi Dolin will once again use her 'Priscilla Kelly' name when her WWE non-compete clause ends. Cora Jade will be using her 'Elayna Black' name she used before WWE.

Steelers' Cam Heyward reveals how he'd stop a T.J. Watt trade
Fear not Steelers fans, T.J. Watt isn't going anywhere — at least not if Cam Heyward has anything to say about it. On Wednesday's edition of The Rich Eisen Show, Heyward shared his honest feelings on the Watt extension negotiations with special guest WWE superstar Seth Rollins and co-host Chris Brockman — including how he'd jokingly put a stop to any trade talk: "Man, that's my brother,' Heyward said. 'I want [Watt] to get paid what he deserves. That dude is one of the most fierce and best players in our league. And he's respected throughout the league. I've had the best time being able to play with him, and I hope this year is not the last time we play together, because that dude, that's my running mate, and we create a lot of havoc together. And I just want to see that guy continue to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, and be a one-helmet guy.' 'I'm going up to Omar and I'm telling him, 'That's not happening,'' Heyward continued, referencing the Watt trade rumors. 'If there's even a trade that gets up there, I don't think it helps our team to trade a guy like that.' It's unlikely the Steelers deal Watt — but if they ever considered it, they'd surely have Heyward to answer to. With Steelers training camp action set to kick off on July 24, fans will soon learn if Watt plans to hold out amid contract negotiations that have begun to turn ugly.

A look back at Hulk Hogan's life in photos: From WrestleMania to reality TV and endorsing Trump at the RNC
Hulk Hogan rips his shirt prior to the match against Ric Flair during his Hulkamania tour at the Burswood Dome on Nov. 24, 2009, in Perth, Australia. () Hulk Hogan, one of the most well-known breakout stars of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), died on Thursday at the age of 71, according to Florida police. Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, began his professional wrestling career in 1977, and in 1983 he signed with what was then the World Wrestling Federation (it would be renamed the WWE in 2002), according to Yahoo Sports. His character portrayal of an all-American wrestler with a handlebar mustache and signature bandannas helped ignite the professional wrestling boom of the 1980s, the WWE noted in its response to Hogan's death. His most famous wrestling match, with Andre the Giant in The Main Event in February 1988, pulled in 33 million viewers, which is still the record for U.S. televised wrestling matches. Hogan headlined the first eight of the still-popular WrestleMania events, starting in 1985, and won five of those events, which made him one of the longest-reigning WrestleMania champions to this day. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 by Sylvester Stallone and was inducted again in 2020 as a member of the New World Order wrestling group. Advertisement Outside of the wrestling world, Hogan, his then wife Linda and their children, Brooke and Nick, starred in the VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best, which ran for four seasons starting in 2005. In 2016, Hogan made headlines again when a Florida jury awarded him $140 million after he filed a lawsuit against Gawker Media for publishing a sex tape of him. Most recently, Hogan endorsed Donald Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Below, Yahoo has selected a number of images from the last four decades showcasing Hogan's career in the spotlight.

Hulk Hogan dead at 71: Wrestler's biggest controversies during his storied career
Famed wrestler Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died Thursday, July 24, per Florida police and the WWE. Bollea had been struggling with health issues for years at this point, including a lingering back injury he suffered during his wrestling career. Throughout his career, Hogan was the face of professional wrestling for decades. In fact, he was the headliner for the main event in seven of the first eight WrestleMania's. He was on the covers of magazines, and had a myriad of toys and brands backing him up. He starred in movies, captivated fans and had one strange failed pasta restaurant. That said, despite his massive success, Hogan was not immune to controversy and criticism. With immense fame came scrutiny and Hogan was not a perfect man. Throughout his career, Hogan was the subject of many negative incidents that played a large role in his fall from grace. Here are the biggest controversies of Hogan's career: Hulk Hogan's biggest controversies Hogan's racist tirade/sex tape A sex tape is bad enough, but when Hogan was heard also saying horrendous things about Black people, liberally using a racial slur, his reputation took an ever harsher hit. Hogan also said heinous words about the possibility of his daughter dating a Black man. If it wasn't already clear enough, he also made sure everyone know he was racist by uttering, "I am a racist, to a point, (expletive) (racial slur)." Large role in the destruction of WCW When Hogan refused to lose a fight with WCW, Vince Russo went out of his way to trash Hogan via a promo. However, given Hogan was handed creative control of WCW, the promo broke that contract, allowing Hogan to sue WCW, costing them tons of money and playing a large role in WCW eventually selling to WWE. Very messy divorce with Linda Hogan Linda Hogan was the Hulkster's wife for most of his wrestling career. However, the marriage did not end well. The pair bickered constantly as each wanted to drag the other down. Linda even accused Hogan of cheating on her. Laundry list of lies Hogan would do anything to make himself look cool, even if that meant stretching the truth from time to time. Hogan would lie about everything, small to large. No one cared that George Foreman was the face of the George Foreman grill instead of Hogan, until Hogan falsely claimed that he was supposed to be the face and only wasn't because he missed the company's call. Hogan swore that he received a voicemail claiming that both he and Foreman had received offers. However, the inventor of the grill claimed that he'd never even considered Hogan. Hogan also lied about being hurt by Undertaker via a piledriver. Undertaker feared for his job and was only saved because video evidence showed that the Undertaker had performed the move perfectly, not allowing Hogan to get hurt at all. Hogan also erroneously claimed that he was offered a role in the band Metallica as a bassist. It wasn't long before band members Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield shot down those rumors, calling Hogan a liar. Hogan's abuse of power within pro wrestling When WCW signed Hogan, they gave him creative control over the company, but that did not go as well as they'd hoped. At Starrcade 1997, many fans were hoping to see Sting dethrone Hogan as champion, but Hogan's contract clause gave him the authority to change the outcome, giving himself the win, much to the chagrin of fans everywhere. Hogan continued abusing this power elsewhere, too. Fellow wrestler Bret Hart recalls Hogan being unwilling to drop the championship in 1993. Shawn Michaels also tells a story of Hogan backing out of an agreement in which Michaels would win a rematch between the two. Hogan's weird moments in politics Throughout his career, Hogan made a few strange decisions in the world of politics. Not only did he fake a presidential campaign in 2000, but he also threatened to body slam former Vice President Kamala Harris at a Trump rally. That's taking things a bit too far. Steroid usage The 1990s WWE steroids trial saw Vince McMahon under fire for illegal drug usage in pro wrestling. Hogan was the biggest witness of the case, and after years of claiming he'd never used steroids, he finally came clean in an effort to avoid a perjury charge. At the very least, Hogan did not throw McMahon under the bus, claiming that McMahon had never offered or supplied him with steroids. Hogan's testimony played a large role in McMahon avoiding jail time. Preventing Jesse Ventura from starting a union Although Ventura and Hogan were good friends in professional wrestling, that didn't stop Hogan from snitching on Ventura as he and several other wrestlers attempted to start a union to protect themselves and their futures. Hogan told Vince McMahon of Ventura's plans, allowing McMahon to stop it before it began. To this day, Ventura holds a large grudge against Hogan. There is no evidence that Hogan ever apologized. Hogan booed at final WWE appearance Hogan's final WWE appearance was rather recent, occurring in January 2025, when RAW was broadcast on Netflix for the first time. Hogan was booed during his appearance, fans still upset about the numerous controversies he'd been involved with in the past, including his support for President Donald Trump. Hogan bit back at the boos though, reminiscing about his time as a wrestler, even claiming that his days as a professional were the best of his life. The moment became even more ridiculous when it was revealed that Hogan was there to promote his new beer brand, 'Real American Beer.' It all felt facetious and did not do much to dissuade fans upset with his previous antics.
