Today's News

Stacy Keibler:

Actor George Clooney has denied he is to split with former WWE star Stacy Keibler, saying The Scum newspaper were lying to sell papers (Not for the first time... JFT 96 YNWA).

Lilian Garcia:

Has excitedly announced she will sing at the half time show for an NFL game, at the WrestleMania 29 stadium, The Metlife stadium in New York.

Linda McMahon:

Has been attacked in a recent political advert...

William Regal:

Is furious with a star he was scouting during the trip to Canada, who lied on the internet about the conversation they had...

“Someone has just tweeted me about something that I’m supposed to have said over the last two days while spending time and giving invaluable advise to wrestlers who come to be looked at by the WWE. I know I’m old and my standards are different to most but it really sickens me that someone out of the five people I saw this week would do that. Whats more appalling to me is that I never actually said what was quoted and so it shows that they weren’t even listening. Such a shame.”

He also says he is not retired.

Jerry Lawler:

You can't keep a good King down...

A message from Jerry Lawler... (Via Michael Cole)...

“I just got off the phone with #jerrylawler and he is alert and in great spirits! #jerrylawler sends his love to you all and thanks you for all the support! He says the strap will be coming down soon!''.

His girlfriend revealed he has no memories of Raw at all...

''He asked where they were and thought they were still in Aruba, where he wrestled over the weekend.''

No official word on his TV return, but he hopes to be on Raw in Nashville on October 15, or SmackDown on October 16.

An ex writer has criticised WWE for continuing their show after Jerry took ill...

“You can always debate that, but on the flip side, if he had died obviously it’s a whole new ballgame. They were in the process of trying to stabilize him and perform CPR. You had roughly about an hour left in the show. I’m sure you can coordinate with USA network to just jump into a re-run of one their programs and just be joined in progress.”

“Their is a lot of pride in promoters like Dana White in that the show must go on and when you can’t do that, it’s like your worst case scenario and its catastrophic. In this case, I felt they did a great job in regrouping by the end. It’s still so peculiar to me seeing a ten minute promo between Cena, Punk and Bret Hart. It just felt so weird and their was such a disconnect from it because real life was unfolding and there was something very real and crazy going on backstage.”

“From a business point of view, yes you are living to your obligation with the USA Network, but I don’t think any of that will capture anyone to buy Night of Champions. It will be a blur to people with what was said between Punk and Cena.”

Backstage news:

CM Punk has been paired with Paul Heyman because WWE do not want fans to cheer for him.

Daniel Bryan has asked William Regal to become his manager.

WWE vs YouTube:

WrestleMania 30:

Insiders in WWE are pushing Vince McMahon to maintain the tradition of having landmark WrestleMania's (1,10,20) at Madison Square Garden, and to hold Mania 30 at the iconic arena in 2014. WWE are looking at sites in the UK, and felt after WrestleMania 20, that WrestleMania had grown too big for the arena, and with Mania 29 next year being in New York, the chances of New York being announced to have the show two years straight are slim.

The announcement will be made during The Royal Rumble 2013 weekend.

D'Von Dudley:

Has discussed his TNA departure...

“The deal was up as of August 28th (of this year), and I was still (World) Television Champion. It just so happened at that particular point in time, we were in the process of cutting a new deal, but we couldn’t cut it in time before the deadline. Alot of fans speculated different things, and rumors were running rampant. Safe to say, I have no ill feelings towards TNA at all. It’s just that we could not come to an agreement before the 28th, and the deal ran out. It is what it is. Where I’m going to go and is where God wants me to go. If faith leads me to stay in TNA, I’ll stay in TNA. If faith leads me to go to WWE, then I will go to WWE. I will go where God puts me, and I’ll leave it in his hands.”

Paul Heyman:

Is to start working house shows.
