Big Show Praises Special Olympics Athletes
WWE star Big Show has been doing a lot of work with the Special Olympics as of late, and he will be a WWE Goodwill Ambassador for the 2015 Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles in late July. He’s also been acting a co-captain of the first-ever Special Olympics Unified Relay Across America, and has posted a new blog on The Huffington Post’s website. Below is an excerpt:
“Throughout my 20-year career in WWE, I’ve worked with an incredible group of athletes that travel the world, headline major events and have tens of thousands of fans cheer (and sometimes boo) them. Their charisma, athleticism, larger-than-life personalities and ability to connect with an audience is incredible. But as great as they are, none can compare to another group of athletes that I’ve been working with lately, whose boundless energy, passion and dedication to training cannot be matched. These athletes are the true superstars.
WWE has supported Special Olympics for decades. I recently got involved and was immediately drawn to and inspired by the Special Olympics athletes. Over the past two years, I have participated in the Opening Ceremonies for Special Olympics USA Games, attended the Special Olympics Connecticut Summer Games and made various appearances in support of local Special Olympics programs around the world. But no matter how much I could ever give, I get so much more in return from the athletes.
WWE Divas Take Feud to Twitter
As seen on Raw last night, Nikki Bella defeated Summer Rae in a singles match, and earlier today several of the Divas had an exchange with Nikki Bella on Twitter, and it appears as if Emma might be in-line for a title shot if Nikki retains on Sunday Money in the Bank:
