Shaq:
WWE are PO'd at Shaq for revealing he will compete at WrestleMania, They have issued a statement denying he will be at the show on their website. They obviously wanted to build it up on TV via the storylines and feel that has now been spoilt.
Rey Mysterio:
Potentially big news on Rey Mysterio, he was backstage recently at a WWE show to discuss contract details for his upcoming return, according to a top level source, (as ever not named) he was demanding far more than WWE were prepared to offer, including top level money and main event spots on top PPV's. Problem is WWE feel his career is close to ending and the fact he is constantly injured also doesn't help his cause, They want him to a sign a PPV - PPV contract, paid per appearance, he left the arena without doing so, maybe Rey won't be coming back?.

Anonymous dig at The Rock:
A current WWE star wrote a letter criticising The Rock... “[The Rock] comes in to use WWE to get back the audience he lost doing Disney movies, which is fine but he’s been back over a year and name one person he helped make a bigger star since then? No one. He’s here for himself, he keeps to himself, and he keeps someone who’s actually touring here all year from making a bigger payday at the bigger shows. It’s all about making this the “biggest” Mania of all time. OK, then what do we do the rest of the year? Who’s been made? You think he took ANY blame for Survivor [Series] not drawing? Of course not, but how do you feud with a guy on the Titantron? Cena nailed the guy dead on tonight. Say anything about HHH, Taker, etc. still being in the top spot but if they were needed to work the road, they would and they would still work their asses off as much as they needed to. Rock is out for Rock and the idea he’s here to better anything but his own wallet is the biggest work of 2012.” He or She demanded to remain anonymous (How long before HHH blames Evan Bourne?).

They are insecure, attention starved, defiant individuals seeking recognition. So, they have now been recognized and I’m embarrassed for them.”
WrestleMania:
Shaq confirms he will be wrestling at WrestleMania.
Vickie Guerrero:
Thoughts with Vickie Guerrero, WWE are in Minneapolis, (Which is where he husband Eddie was found dead in his hotel room) guess which hotel WWE booked her in?. She wrote an emotional Twitter message saying her heart was heavy but she was going to get through, way to go WWE.

Damn! Ron (Faarooq) Simmons Hall Of Fame induction video...

FCW star and son of WWE Legend IRS, Bo Rotunda was arrested for DUI last night, WWE tend to be pretty strong on this kind of thing (Unless you are a mid 20's blonde former Diva's champ), but, because of who his dad is and his standing With WWE, he will probably be alright.

Evan Bourne:
WWE continue to hint at the upcoming departure of Evan Bourne, they are now clearing out his merch from their web shop at drastically reduced prices. Personal Note... Just sack him and be done with it, they are clearly going to wait until his 60 days ban is up, then get rid, meaning he won't be able to wrestle for 90 more days after that.
Edge:
Edge's post wrestling movie career will begin with Bending The Rules, which will be released on March 9th.
WWE have given the biggest hint yet that Evan Bourne is on the way out, he was edited off the intro for Raw this week.

WWE:
Have been clearing out high level office talent. They have also critisized the lack of ambition in the current locker room, praising the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Christian, and The Hardy Boys who were not top level workers 10 years ago but were hungry and fought for it. The midcard talent don't have that motivation now and it could hurt the future of the company. (They must have forgotten Zack Ryder).
Former Tough Enough contestant Jeremiah Riggs has been ''Blackballed'' from the wrestling biz because of his attitude on the show, nobody would touch him so he is doing MMA.

The Undertaker:
Has been removed from the opening credits of SmackDown, so he will probably only appear on Raw.
Heath Slater:
Congratulations to Heath Slater who is to become a Father for the first time, with his high school sweetheart.
Alberto Del Rio:
You all know how the WWE are on an anti bullying kick? (Fair play to them) someone probably should have informed Alberto Del Rio, he said in an interview that he has a real life hatred for one of his fellow WWE competitors, and mocked him for being bullied as a child... “I hate The Miz. This is not part of the show, I really really dislike that guy. I’ve tried to punch him in the face several times, not in the ring, I mean outside of the ring. He is like a little girl always running away from me.” Del Rio added that he and The Miz were very different. “I’m a real athlete. He’s just a loud, stupid little kid. He’s one of those guys who was probably bullied in school and that’s the reason that he’s so loud now.” The Miz is in trouble though, he has had some heat building on him and now another star openly disrespecting him!, comments that he may be on the way out, may have more weight to them than first thought. Alberto was promoting his return to the ring.
WWE:
May be about to launch an assault on TNA talent, they are already watching the Bobby Roode situation, Sting's recent interview about wanting to face The Undertaker pricked up their ears, now Kurt Angle has been linked with a return, Possibly as early as WrestleMania.
Beth is Wonder Woman:
This has not been confirmed, but WWE have apparently been asked for their permission to allow current Diva's champioin Beth Phoenix to play Wonder Woman in a new movie.
Hart Family:
Do you remember when Jerry Lawler, and Bobby Heenan used to joke that Stu Hart was as old as time, well Bret Hart took part in a recent DNA survey and they traced him back 60,000 years. Bobby really is a Brain.

A day I just can’t forget… My dad, my best friend… He past away 9 years ago… I miss u dad. I miss u so much! I love you. Dear Dad. Hey man. I’m doin the bst I can. I doin everything you told me to do. I’m not supposed to cry but I can’t help it. I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines. My name is Joe Hennig. And I’m the past, present and future. Today, I dont give a damn what u call me. Michael McGillicutty. I am Joe Hennig and I am apart of the greatest wrestling legacy of all time. I miss u Dad. And from here on out, I’m taking over! I love u daddy. RIP Curt Hennig. Let’s get this Goin. #Hennig”.
Has responded to rumours WWE will not induct him into the Hall Of Fame until he is dead... “I did make a lot of mistakes in my career but if they would acknowledge what I did and what I accomplished by putting me in there, it would be something I could give to my Grandchildren, for everything I did right, I know I belong in there, a lot more than others that are in there but I don’t care about that, the WWE was very good to me. I didn’t understand a lot of things, I was not a good business man. Vince would call me say we need an idea for this and I’d give him an idea and we’d just rock and roll with it, I didn’t know I’d to go in there and fight for my money and my place and the bottom line is the squeaky wheel gets the grease and I should of recognized that. I should of done the right thing and been squeaky.” Stone Cold is not happy with WWE's line, he wrote on Twitter... “JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS DEFINITELY DESERVES TO BE IN THE H.O.F. AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE. One of my fave all time workers.”
WrestleMania 29:
Metlife stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey is expected to be the site of WrestleMania 29. Announcement in a few weeks.
Chris Nowinski:
Has commented on the last year of Chris Benoit's life... ''We incorporated Sports Legacies ten days before the Benoit tragedy. A year prior to that I sat down with Benoit when I was still working for (WWE) and he just started asking me questions. He was more interested than any other wrestler, which helps me realize that he actually knew there was something wrong with him. He asked me about how many concussions I had and I asked him and he said, ‘Well, I had more concussions than I can count.’ So, because he told me that and then he told me to give him a call. I remember months later… I called him and he acted like he didn’t know why I was calling after he gave me his number. So, I thought maybe there was a memory thing or maybe a mood thing going on. So, when it happened, I was sure that is why it happened.” On Benoit’s last year of his life... “Chris was a different guy emotionally. You talked to the guys who were on the road with him over the last year and he would break down crying for no reason, paranoia about someone kidnapping his son so he moved homes, different routes to the airports just in case someone was following him. He was really losing it because his brain had this pattern of cell death that left a lot of cognition, but destroyed emotions and impulse control.” On finding answers about Benoit... “We are trying to understand why it happened so it could be prevented in the future. People can see the warning signs in these people and there are plenty of warning signs. We can change what we do so the disease doesn’t form in the first place. We can raise awareness so we can develop a treatment for it. People have to be accountable for their actions. But the other side is when people get a brain disease, they are not accountable. Verne Gagne killed a man in an Alzheimer’s home. He is not being prosecuted for murder cause he didn’t know what happened. CTE is different because it’s a slow progressing disease and in your forties no one is going to say ‘did he know what he was doing? Was he in control?’ It’s much much more difficult but certainly Verne is not considered a murderer for that. It’s a tough situation, I rather work on prevention.”

There is no turning back the hands of times. Thanks to all of you that write me and keeping me in your prayers. Right now my heart is broken but in time I know it will heal. I wish I had the skill to do something else but I dont know what it would be. I just don’t want the government taking care of me, that’s why when I was up and able I drove a truck. No matter what I once were it’s what I need to do now to support myself and family. I know it’s hard right now but I believe God has use for me. I’m coming back this way.”

Both of his knees went out during the Cage Match at the Royal Rumble, he was supposed to help Big Show stop Daniel Bryan from falling from the cage, but he was in so much pain he couldn't get up.
