Today's News

JR is back with another rant against fans:


This time he has taken offence to people questioning The Rock's WWE status after he no showed Raw this week...

"Found it pretty pathetic that many fans who seemingly believe all or most of what they read online felt that the Rock walked out on WWE Monday while missing RAW. Some people thrive on dirt and gossip...thrive may be a too nice a word...how about 'obsess' and believe damn near whatever they read. Rock was injured early on in the main event versus Cena but continued the match as the two men, who I signed back in the day, did the best that they could considering the situation."

However, a WWE source has contradicted The Rock's story, and says the injury did not happen when he delivered a Rock Bottom, but when Cena delivered the first (Of many) finisher on him.


Big Show / WWE sued over backstage incident:


Former WWE producer Andrew Green is suing his former Employers and specifically Big Show for an alleged assault backstage at this years Royal Rumble, he claims former Creative chief Erik Pankowski told him to get a post match interview with Big Show, Show did not feel like chatting and grabbed Green by the lapels, started to scream profanities at him and told him to turn the camera on, hinting he was going to do more to him then talk. He also during the altercation struck him in the face it is claimed.

He also accuses Triple H of worsening the situation by telling Big Show to re-shoot the interview a further two times, further irking Show, who took his rage out on the former WWE.Com backstage reporter (He claims).

He also claims Big Show has been suspended in the past for similar actions, and He felt He could not remain in the employ of the company, due to nerves and the fear of another attack from another talent.


Carlito accuses Rock of being roided:


He tweeted on the injury, Rock suffered at Mania...

Maria Kanellis wants back in WWE:


She has even gone out of her way to apologize to Kelly Kelly for their recent spat...

"I've been away from it for three years. I really had the opportunity to experience a lot of different things, and when I was on the road full-time with WWE I didn't necessarily have that experience and the time to go and try things. So now that I've gone out and tried everything, it'd be great if I could return. I love my job at Ring of Honor, and being the First Lady is awesome. I think that I'm going to continue working with them. As much as I would love to go back to WWE, they contacted me in January and asked me to come back and then a month later they said the storyline fell through. So it didn't end up working out this time, but maybe in a year from now it will."
