Axl Rotten Dies; Former WWE/ECW Star Was 44

Brian Knighton, a former WWE superstar who fought under the moniker “Axl Rotten,” has been found dead in Baltimore.

He was 44 years old.

Details are still coming in regarding the death, but PWInsider reports that Knighton was discovered by authorities in a McDonald’s in the vicinity of the motel he was staying in.

The ex-wrestler had just sent a message on Twitter 10 hours before his corpse was found.

Knighton was best known for his run in the original Extreme Championship Wrestling in the mid-1990s, establishing a feud at the time with his storyline brother and former tag team partner, Ian Rotten.

He was one of the first wrestlers to use barbed wire baseball bats inside the ring, turning that item into a common weapon of choice and helping to usher in an era of blood and violence.

“Thanks for letting me learn from you, but most of all thanks for being my brother,” Ian wrote in a Facebook tribute after learning of Brian’s death, linking to photos and videos from Knighton’s career.”

Ian said he saw this death coming:

“When Axl left my house Sunday night, I pretty much knew I would never see him again.

“He would always say to me that he had no idea why he was still here. That God must have been making him suffer. I told him that it was Gods plan for him to write his book, and maybe that book would change one person’s life.

“Unfortunately, now that book won’t be written. When he left my house, he told me he wrote this story and he knew how it ended.”

Knighton went on to appear in the WWE and that organization issued the following statement on his passing:

“WWE extends its condolences to Knighton’s family, friends and fans”

Fans captured Tomlinson giving Campbell a kiss after she dropped him off at the airport around the holidays late last year.

A video went viral that depicted the couple singing Happy Birthday to the cousin of Danielle.

So… yeah. That’s it.

Those are the reasons why some folks believe Louis Tomlinson is engaged to Danielle Cambell.

O.J. Simpson: Shocking Confession, Detailed Suicide Plan Revealed

Though the murders of Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman took place over two decades ago, the FX miniseries The People v. O.J. Simpson has prompted a renewed interest in the case, as well as some surprising revelations from those who were closely involved.

Mike Gilbert is a friend and former agent of Simpson’s who stood by him during his infamous double murder trial.

Gilbert now claims he knows with certainty that Simpson is guilty of the murders, as he was witness to a tearful confession by the former NFL great.

“O.J. told me he did it,” Gilbert recently told Radar Online in a revealing interview.

Gilbert also revealed new details about O.J.’s planned suicide, which was teased in the first installment of the FX series:

“O.J. was going to kill himself on Nicole’s grave,” said Gilbert.

“But when he snuck out of the house with Al Cowlings and went to her grave, there were cops there guarding the grave site. So that’s when the infamous Bronco down the freeway chase happened.”

According to Gilbert, Simpson claimed that he actually attempted to end his life during the famous chase:

“He told me that while he was sitting in the car he was planning to kill himself. So he pulled the trigger on the gun but it didn’t go off,” he says, adding that Simpson didn’t respond when asked why he didn’t attempt to shoot himself a second time.

“O.J. seemed surprised by my question,” Gilbert said. “He told me I had no feelings for him.”

Simpson is currently serving a 33 year sentence on robbery and kidnapping charges unrelated to the 1994 murders of his wife and her friend.

He will be eligible for parole in October of 2017.

Amber Portwood"s Fiance is a "Good Conman," Says His Ex

Gary Shirley was right to be suspicious of Amber Portwood’s fiance, Matt Baier, because the dude is sketchy.

Baier, 44, has actually fathered at least eight children, and is being taken to court on March 22nd by each and every mom for unpaid child support.

One of the mothers is Baier’s ex-fiance, Kelly, who recently revealed all sorts of details about their relationship to The Ashley.

“He gets into your head, he’s a good conman,” Kelly said.

“I thought he was the one for me, that we belonged together. He has this way of making you think that everyone else is crazy. [And] He loves you like no one else.”

Kelly and Matt met at work in 2007, started dating, and then,”within a month he had moved in,” she recalled.

Shortly after, Baier proposed to Kelly pretty much the same way he did with Amber.

“The speech he gave before proposing to Amber was almost verbatim to what he told me when he asked me to marry him,” Kelly explained, adding that he wanted to knock her up right away.

Kelly was hesitant, and wanted to wait until after the wedding to try and have kids, but Baier “was really pressing to have a baby.” 

Sooner after, Kelly was pregnant.  And Baier went bye bye.

“I found out I was pregnant in September and by October, Matt was GONE!”

Kelly, who had no idea Baier fathered so many other children, kept in touch, just assuming he was freaked out that everything was moving so fast (even though it was all at his insistence).

Kelly gave birth to a daughter, but Matt didn’t meet her until she was a month old.  He even had the balls to introduce himself as “her sperm donor,” Kelly said.

Matt disappeared again until their daughter was two, at which time he came crawling back, “begging for forgiveness.” 

The threesome took a trip, which Kelly hoped would connect Matt with his daughter, but he admitted he “didn’t feel anything” for the child.  

So, the two never spoke again, and Kelly moved on with her life, while Matt met another woman and fathered yet another kid.

Now married, Kelly told the site she was watching Teen Mom OG, her “guilty pleasure,” when she saw Baier on the show.

“It was surreal,” she said. “When I saw him on there I almost died.” 

Kelly watched his relationship with Amber unfold, noticing a lot of similarities.

“He didn’t do the shady stuff all at once, this is trickling in for her,” Kelly explained.

“When you’re with him, you don’t see the red flags. It wasn’t until afterward that I saw everything and I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen it before.” 

“My advice to Amber would be to RUN! Don’t get pregnant, that’s the big thing,” Kelly warned.

On a January 18th after-show, Portwood admitted to getting cold feet before her October nuptials to Baier.  

“It wasn’t cold feet about the wedding,” Baier told OK! after.

“It wasn’t about not wanting to get married … it was that it’s now coming up so soon and that she just got very, ‘OMG, I can’t believe I’m actually getting married because I never thought I would.’”

“Everything is great!” he added.

My God, Amber Portwood. RUN.
