"Arrived at Mr. Angle's residence at approximately 11:25pm. Suspect opened door and was wearing nothing but tanning goggles, a watch, and something he identified as the 'World Title'.

Top stories from this past week:
LILLIAN GARCIA TURNS HEEL
WWE ring announcer Lillian Garcia sang some weird foreign gibberish song last night on Raw.
Since all people with accents or the ability to speak more than one language are not allowed to be babyfaces in WWE, Lillian has turned heel.
She will be join a new faction along with The Great Khali, that tiny brown guy who manages him, the Arab terrorist guy who used to manage that other terrorist guy, Umaga, Santino, and that funny/annoying Japanese interviewer.
They will be feuding with a new (all white) babyface faction including Triple H, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, and Bobby Lashley.
ROH MOB KILLS AND EATS "FAN"
(Edison, NJ) Tommy Leroy, 26, wishes he had never taken his younger brother Matt, 22, to the Ring of Honor PPV taping last weekend.
"He wasn't ready for it", Tommy confessed to WWS. "He's been a casual wrestling fan for years but was never into anything as serious as ROH.
"He'd seen a lot of Monday Night wars stuff and you know, dug the NWO and Austin. The last couple of years he'd been watching Raw on and off. He tried to get into TNA but it just didn't hook him. He was a good kid.
"I should have known better then to take him to an ROH show."
After the main event of Nigel McGuiness taking on Morishima had concluded, Matt commented that he thought the match was almost as good as Randy Orton vs. John Cena at Summerslam.
That's when things got ugly.
"The fans sitting around us heard it and I knew right away we were in trouble," Tommy explained. "I grabbed Matt by the arm and told him we had to get the hell out of there. But it was too late. They were already starting to push Matt and get in his face. They were screaming at him.
Tommy could hear it from all directions:
'This guy said Cena-Orton was better than a main event on an ROH show!'
'He's a f*****g lunatic asshole!'
'No man who thinks a WWE main event could ever be comparable to even the worst ROH match should be allowed to live!
'Kill him!
"Kill him!'
At this point the mob began tearing at Matt's clothes. They stripped him naked, lifted him into the air, and carried him onto the ring. Tommy was helpless to assist his brother as all 1,000 fans (a full house for ROH) joined in the ritualistic sacrifice.
"They threw him down mid-ring and began to tear him to shreds," Tommy painfully recalled. "There was blood everywhere. They ripped his meat off his bones and ate it raw.
"The whole time they were chanting the worlds that will ring in my ears for the rest of my lifeā¦
'This is awesome! (clap, clap, clap clap clap.)
This is awesome!'"
The FBI has announced that they are officially designating ROH fans as "a cult", the same designation they gave to ECW fans after a similar incident in 1995.
