-The Figure Four Weekly Newsletter is now reporting that The Honky Tonk Man has told friends he still plans to show up at WWE’s Cyber Sunday PPV this weekend in Phoenix, AZ. It was reported earlier that it was un-sure if Honky Tonk Man was going to show up or not, but WWE will work with it.

-HipHopDx.com has got an recent interview with Cryme Tyme. Here are a few highlights:

When do you decide to pursue a career in pro-wrestling?
JTG: I always wanted to be a wrestler but I didn’t know how to go about it. Growing up in Brooklyn, everyone was like, “I wanna be a basketball player” or “I wanna be a football player,” so I just used to tell people I wanted to be an actor. I do love acting, but I knew what I really wanted to do.
Shad: My father started training me for boxing around five, I started martial arts when I was eight and amateur wrestling when I was about 10. As time went on, it seemed like a natural thing for me to do. I was working as a bodyguard, [MTV/WWE reality show] Tough Enough came along. I made the show but was eliminated after the qualifying round because there was a mix-up with my blood work and they thought I had Hepatitis C when it was actually a different contestant on the show. Later on, I was contacted by [WWE official] Dr. Tom Pritchard and recruited.

Did you play other sports in school?
Shad: In my family, we’re all fighters and we’re all intellects. We come from the West Indies, my father was a boxer and everyone on my mom’s side of the family boxed and kick-boxed as well. When we used to do it, it was called Noble’s Bar Fights and Mixed Martial Arts.”When it came to America, it was no holds barred and people thought it was like a human cockfight. There were no weight classes, no gloves. More on the interview with Cryme Tyme>>>>>>>>>>>
