Austin Blows Off Nick Hogan, Ortiz/WWE, Y2J, Cornette

Ricky Ortiz’ latest video message, which has him discussing his match with Finlay on last week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, is available via WWE.com.

WWE has pulled Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat from the Dan Gable Wrestling Institute Hall Of Fame ceremony he was scheduled to appear at this weekend. He was set to be inducted into their Hall of Fame, but was pulled, presumably as a result of SmackDown’s ongoing tour of Asia, which wraps up today.

Jim Cornette will be signing copies of his new book tomorrow at the Maryland Championship Wrestling show in Dundalk, MD.

Chris Jericho will be appearing on IFC’s “Z-Rock” on Sunday night at 11PM ET. The repeats air at 2AM ET on Monday, 10PM ET on Tuesday, 3:15AM ET on Wednesday, and 7PM ET on July 18th.

Tonight’s episode of TMZ has footage of Nick Hogan waving hello to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin only for the WWE Hall of Famer to ignore him.
