Santino's post career plans:


WWE star Santino Marella responded to a fan question on his Twitter, asking him what he would do when his ring days were over, he replied...

“Time will tell I guess, maybe act or host my own show or maybe commentary”

Randy Orton injury update:


WWE say Randy Orton should miss no more than a couple of weeks, after dislocating his shoulder.

Smashing Pumpkins singer meets Stephanie McMahon:


Billy Corgan, owner of Resistance Pro Wrestling, has met with Stephanie McMahon with the hopes of WWE accepting his group as a WWE feeder league. No word on the WWE response, but Corgan was enthused by the meeting, saying...

“I think it would be to our credit to get people to the top level. I think it does a disservice to our talent to not prepare them for the next level.”

He also spoke of the experience of starting a wrestling promotion...

“I like that it makes people uncomfortable. I like that it’s not an easy thing to explain. I like when it’s great, it’s amazing; when it’s bad, it’s really, really bad.”

New WWE signing:


WWE have signed Serena Deeb protege, and Shimmer star Davina Rose.

Serena congratulated her trainee...

“Congrats to Davina Rose as she moves on to the next stage of her career. Best wishes from all of us!”

This is her.

WWE returns:


Matt Hardy said in an interview last night that he has received some ''interesting phone calls'' regarding his future in 2013, he did not clarify who the promotion was, but said he would consider a major promotion return next year...

''There have been some interesting phone calls during the last month or so. If I could command a schedule in WWE or TNA where I could work a day a week or a couple days a week, that would be helpful. I would definitely take it into consideration."

WWE have also reached out to several former female stars, to beef up their ever diminishing Diva's roster, Trish Stratus and Lita are some of the names they appear to be interested in bringing back, on what would be a reduced schedule, working PPV and TV's but no lives.

Trish Stratus may be tough to get however, she is a busy woman, running a yoga business in her native Toronto, and would not want to take on a hectic travel and ring routine.

They are more positive about Lita, she is a regular at WWE events due to her friendship with CM Punk, and has always said she feels she has another run in her.

No deals are yet in place, but WWE are having a busy time trying to beef up their current roster, talking to many past stars, expect deals to be confirmed early in the new year, with some stars making their returns as guests in the Royal Rumble.

Billy Gunn is the only confirmed returnee so far.
