WWE honcho Vince McMahon strapped on some body armor ... grabbed some of his WWE Superstars ... and dropped in on the troops in Afghanistan last week ... and TMZ has the pics.

Vince -- along with the Bella Twins and tag team champ Kofi Kingston -- were escorted to a secret location to hang out with a bunch of brave men and women in uniform.

We're told the wrestlers hung out for a few days -- and everyone had a great time.

Vince wasn't scared about the outing -- since he's been visiting U.S. troops on various overseas military bases for the past 9 years.

Fun fact -- the photos are purposely framed so as not to reveal anything that might tip off where the American bases are located.

Look closely ... WWE diva Kharma's new engagement ring is actually two in one -- a ring ... ON A RING -- and TMZ has obtained a pic of what might be the coolest piece of jewelry ever forged by man.

Sources close to Kharma -- real name Kia Stevens -- tell TMZ, the diva's fiance popped the question a few months ago ... and with a rock like that, it's no surprise she said yes.

No date for nuptials has been set ... but we're told Stevens (left) -- currently on maternity leave from the WWE -- is planning to tie the knot in June.

You can't count on cops in Bermuda -- at least if you're wrestling legend JBL, who just got his motorized scooter stolen in the British overseas territory ... from right in front of a police station.

The longest reigning WWE champion in history -- who lives on the subtropical island -- tells TMZ, he left the scooter parked in the police lot at the Bermuda airport, but when he returned to scoot back home ... the bike was nowhere to be seen.

Cops are on the case -- but sadly, we're told the scooter is probably already long gone ... stripped down for parts.

TMZ spoke to the champ about the unfortunate incident, and he had only this to say ... "You can't steal a wrestling god's scooter, don't you know?"

Clearly, Mr. Bermudian Scooter Jacker didn't get the memo.

In an effort to show their support for the troops, the WWE sent a pair of smokin' hot twins to West Point ... put them in super-tight clothing ... made them run a military obstacle course ... and it was awesome.

28-year old Brie and Nikki Bella rubbed elbows with the cadets at West Point military academy in New York on Tuesday for the annual "Tribute to the Troops" special on NBC.

But it wasn't some dumbed down cakewalk -- the twins had to race through the official course that cadets must complete in order to graduate.

WWE superstar Randy Orton opened up a nasty wound on his head during a WWE "street fight" match last night .. and afterward, he let the cameras roll as a doctor STAPLED his noggin' back together.

Did you think WWE star Hornswoggle was kidding when he said he was adding three more Muppet tattoos to his body ... in honor of them hosting "Monday Night Raw" next week? Think again.

Former WWE star Gangrel walked away from a terrifying motorcycle accident this week -- but suffered a gruesome elbow injury as a result ... and TMZ has the disgusting photo.

Gangrel (real name David Heath) tells TMZ he was riding his motorcycle in Burbank when he turned a corner was struck by an oncoming car. Heath says he absorbed more of the impact than his actual bike.

He was eventually rushed to the hospital where doctors diagnosed him with a fractured elbow. The bike will survive too, but it needs about $4,000 in repairs.

WWE legend Scott Hall's emotional reunion with his estranged son at the end of ESPN's documentary about the wrestler was short-lived -- sources tell TMZ, Scott's drug problems have once again forced the two apart.

In case you missed it, ESPN aired a heartfelt documentary about Scott Hall last night -- chronicling the wrestler's drug-fueled fall from grace -- in which Scott and his son Cody poignantly reunited after not speaking for years.

The documentary ended on a promising note (below) -- with the father-son duo working together to launch Cody's wrestling career.

But Scott's ex-wife Dana tells TMZ, the reunion in May barely lasted a month -- and once again, the two are no longer on speaking terms.

We're told Cody gave up on his dad due to "constant verbal abuse from Scott while he was binging" -- and he soon moved back home with his mom.

A former WWE wrestler was arrested in Florida yesterday after cops say he was injecting himself with stolen pain medicine ... while hiding inside the bathroom of a local Chili's restaurant.

Tyson Tomko -- who wrestled in the WWE between 2002 and 2009 -- is accused of robbing a CVS Pharmacy on October 10th ... allegedly threatening to attack the pharmacist unless he forked over several bottles of Oxycodone.

The pharmacist claims he complied -- and Tomko escaped with 210 tablets of the powerful painkiller.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Tomko went to a nearby Chili's ... where he asked his waitress for a spoon. When the server brought him a teaspoon, he asked for a "deeper spoon" ... and when he got it, he took it to the men's room ... where he remained for 30 to 40 minutes.

Cops were eventually tipped off ... and when they arrived on the scene, one officer says Tomko had "needle marks and blood running down his arm" ... and had just flushed something down the toilet.

Tomko was taken into custody -- and allegedly told police he has a "severe drug problem."

Cops say Tomko admitted he took the Oxycodone from CVS ... and injected 178 pills, which he crushed up and melted down ... but he swore he never threatened the pharmacist.

Tomko was taken to a nearby hospital ... then transported to a nearby jail, where he was booked for robbery. He's currently behind bars -- bond was set at $7,500.

Former wrestling star Jeff Hardy has checked into a North Carolina jail to serve his 10-day sentence stemming from a drug arrest back in 2009 ... TMZ has learned.

Hardy was arrested on Sept. 11, 2009 after cops say they found all sorts of drugs in his home -- including opium and cocaine.

Hardy struck a deal with prosecutors ... in which he agreed to plead guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of conspiracy to traffic in exchange for a 10 day jail sentence, 30 months of probation and a $100k fine.

WWE star Jimmy Uso -- son of the great Stinkface-inflicting Rikishi -- was arrested in Florida early this morning on suspicion of DUI ... TMZ has learned.

Tampa Police tell TMZ, an officer observed Uso at approximately 3 a.m. driving the wrong way down a one-way street in a silver Mustang ... and pulled him over.

According to the arrest report, Uso took a breathalyzer test after showing "multiple signs of impairment" -- including slurred speech and glassy eyes. The breathalyzer registered a blood alcohol level of .180 ... over twice the legal limit in Florida.

Uso was arrested on the scene and is currently being held on $500 bond.

Some big media outlets got snookered today by reporting that Dolph Ziggler -- the WWE wrestler Hugh Jackman "punched" on Monday Night Raw -- sustained a hairline fracture.

Ziggler tweeted he suffered the injury and got an MRI to confirm the fracture.

But sources close to the wrestler and others in the know tell TMZ ... the whole thing was made up by Ziggler. There is no MRI and no fracture, although we are told Hugh really did pack a punch and Ziggler was in pain.

We're told the WWE wasn't in on the scam.

A scam in wrestling? Get out.

A week after he was arrested for DUI, Matt Hardy was thrown back in the slammer -- his third time in jail in a month -- and the search warrant makes it clear ... Matt has a major drug problem.

According to search warrant docs obtained by TMZ, it all started with a 911 call last Wednesday -- placed by Matt's model girlfriend, Reby Sky, who was worried Matt "was strung out on pills and needed help."

Police came and Matt's GF led them to a secret safe containing several prescription painkillers.

Police then obtained a search warrant -- and according to cops, when they raided his house they found 20 vials of anabolic steroids and some ecstasy.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Matt wasn't home at the time of the search so they couldn't arrest him on the spot ... he turned himself in yesterday.

Hardy -- who bailed out soon after his arrest -- posted an emotional YouTube video last night (below), saying he's enrolling in a 3-month rehab program paid for by the WWE, as part of its former talent rehabilitation assistance program.

More trouble for ex-WWE champ Matt Hardy -- the 36-year-old was arrested for driving under the influence in North Carolina this week ... the second time in the last couple of weeks.

According to the arrest report obtained by TMZ ... cops received a complaint of a "possible drunk driver" late Monday afternoon ... who almost "hit two drivers three separate times."

When the cop spotted Hardy, the wrestler's car, "swerved into the curb and then back onto the road."

Once Hardy was pulled over, the officer claims Hardy "had slow and slurred speech, sleepy eyes and a very lackadaisical demeanor."

According to the report, Hardy took the walk-the-line test -- but "after taking two steps, Mr. Hardy lost his balance and failed to stay on the line."

Hardy took a breathalyzer -- but when the results showed he wasn't drunk ... cops called in a "Drug Recognition Officer" to perform even more tests.

Eventually, cops believed Hardy was under the influence of something ... and arrested him on the spot.

Hardy is scheduled to appear in court on November 30.

Former WWE superstar Kurt Angle was pretty damn calm for a guy who claims he was wrongly arrested for drunk driving over the weekend -- telling photogs at LAX, "Of course" he'll fight the case.

Wrestling superstar Matt Hardy was arrested in North Carolina today for suspicion of driving while intoxicated ... TMZ has learned.

According to the Moore County Jail, Hardy was busted this afternoon by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol and released around 7:00 PM ET.
