General round-up, 29th November

Rowdy Roddy Piper has been diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer. The cancer was revealed in a biopsy conducted after the 52-year-old wrestler underwent disc surgery.

“It seems like I have been fighting someone, something, someplace, in some manner, my whole life. But this fight, is one I am gonna win!” Piper, who is upbeat about battling the cancer, said on his website.

I am sure you will join me in wishing 'The Rowdy One' all the very best.

Jim Ross has signed a new contract with WWE. With the amount of mistakes that he has been making lately though, I wonder how long the veteran can carry on. Hopefully it is just a phase...!

Although Amy “Lita” Duma ended her run as a World Wrestling Entertainment talent, she is not yet done with the wrestling business.

Maryland Championship Wrestling Bookings announced Monday that she will be available for independent dates after December 1.

Ther are reports that Ric Flair will be embarking on a hiatus from WWE television, which explains the events involving his character on Monday’s RAW.

Fueling the hiatus is the fact that Flair is set to be involved in a messy divorce battle with his ex-wife that could get mainstream coverage.

The degree to which Flair himself pushed for the hiatus, as opposed to it being a call strictly from WWE management, is unknown, but there is a general feeling that the time off is for the best.

As speculated, Candice Michelle does appear to have received a very bad injury to her nose as a result of the womens battle royale on Raw.

Finally, in results from Survivor Series:

'Team Legends' beat 'Team Spirit Squad' in an as-good-as-could-be-expected opener
Chris Benoit beat Chavo Guerrero in a decent, but surprisingly short, US Title defence
In her final WWE bout, Lita dropped the title to Mickie James in a good womens match
'Team DX' defeated 'Team Rated RKO' with a full strength team in a passable match. This was more funny than anything - HBK was quite a hoot! - but did not do a lot for the existing feuds
Mr Kennedy defeated Undertaker in a decent First Blood match
'Team Cena' beat 'Team Big Show' in an ok match
Finally, Batista defeated Booker T to reclaim the World Heavyweight Title in an average bout. On the bright side, it was better than their other recent efforts.
