Triple H vs. Kermit the Frog? It’s not quite the type of match up I would think about during a normal WWE match but the Muppets will be throwing down when they appear for a special event on Oct. 31.

The Muppets will take center stage during an airing of USA’s WWE Raw and the event will air live form Atlanta Georgia.

While I wouldn’t put all my money in Kermit’s corner if he has Miss Piggy by his side for a tag team match they might have a chance, after all we’ve all seen how Miss Piggy can throw down when someone messes with her little green obsession.

The appearance on WWE is meant to promote the introduction of Disney’s The Muppets which stars Jason Segal and Amy Adams. The movie opens on Thanksgiving weekend.

Will you be tuning in to watch The Muppets take on the WWE? Will you perhaps head out to see their new movie when it arrives in theaters?

Dwayne “The Rock’ Johnson took to his Twitter page today to pay his respect to his “childhood inspiration” Macho Man Randy Savage.

Johnson Tweeted:

“RIP Randy “Macho Man” Savage – you were one of my childhood inspirations and heros. Strength, love and prayers to the Savage/Poffo family.”

Also chiming in on Twitter was WWE star Kevin Nash who posted:

“I lost a close friend today. If anybody in heaven is wondering who the cat in the ugly cowboy hat is it’s Randy. Love you Bro. Never another.”

While Mick Foley (Mankind) told TMZ:

“Though I only met Randy Savage a handful of times, he was one of my all-time favorite performers … I loved his style, in the ring and on the microphone.”

As a child I use to countdown the days until Macho Man, The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan would take to the ring, my three all-time favorites, while I haven’t watched the WWE in years it’s still a sad day for one of my childhood heroes.

At a press conference in New York earlier today, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and WWE promoter Eric Bischoff announced that they were both joining Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling (TNA).

Hogan to the press conference that he was becoming a “partner” in the company, although was surprisingly vague as to what that might involve. Eric Bischoff’s role in TNA also wasn’t specified.

Speculation suggests that Hogan may return to the ring, if not regularly then several times a year in showcase events. The good money as Hogan becoming a personality for TNA, presenting and appearing at events.

The President of TNA wasn’t any more helpful in what Hogan will be doing, saying only that: “Hulk Hogan is one of the world’s top pop culture icons and the biggest superstar in the history of professional wrestling. We are truly excited to welcome him into the TNA family.”

If you’re not a wrestling fan, you may remember Captain Lou Albano from Cyndi Lauper’s videos in the 1980s, including the huge hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” Albano also played Lauper’s father in a Goonies tie in video, “Time after Time,” and “She Bop.” He was well-known outside the world of professional wrestling and frequently crossed over to work on TV and in films.

Albano had apparently been ill for some time, and was placed under hospice care earlier this week after being released from the hospital. No cause of death has been disclosed.

WWE Wrestler Jeff Hardy is alleged to have been involved in a hit and run accident this morning (Friday), but before you get sucked in, it’s yet another fake angle to televised wrestling.

According to the WWE: “Jeff Hardy and his girlfriend Beth were involved in a hit and run automobile accident earlier this morning in North Carolina. Both Jeff and Beth were injured during the accident, but no ambulance was called to the scene.”

The alleged hit and run included “exclusive video footage from the police cruiser on the scene, as well as an exclusive interview with Jeff Hardy.” To juice the story up some more, rival boxer Christian was implied to have been driving the car that left the scene.

One small problem though: the footage aired in most overseas markets last night, before the supposed accident took place.

The Jeff Hardy accident video below. The other thing to note is the clarity of the footage from the police cruiser, and the sound. The darkness in the footage seems to have been computer generated to imply it came from a real cruiser, but compare it to footage from real accidents, and you’ll see the difference, the sound is also very clear compared to what you’d expect. Also there’s nothing on Google about a CAPD in North Carolina, but we can’t be 100% certain.
