Today's News

McMahon's vs Rhodes:

WWE are working on an appearance for Vince McMahon as early as this upcoming Monday.

More on the heat between Dusty Rhodes and Stephanie McMahon (See yesterday). Steph has been unhappy with Rhodes for a couple of weeks, she was to humble Rhodes on Raw a couple of weeks ago, but Dusty kept talking over her, spoiling the planned angle, and the Face Palm gesture Rhodes did to her on Raw, compounded her anger with the Hall Of Famer.

Big E. Langston:

Speculation about Langston's slump has been blamed on John Cena. Cena is a very vocal supporter of Langston, and since he has gone away on injury leave, Langston has been split from AJ with no story line reason, and has been floundering in the mid card. WWE are said to be working on a face turn and big story line, but has, as of this writing shown no signs of beginning that angle for him.

Funk's:

The Hall Of Famer's Dory and Terry Funk are on their way to Japan, Dory Has announced.

Rey Mysterio:

Rey Mysterio plans a WWE return in late October, and says he is determined to prove he is as good as he was at the height of his WWE career in 2007/8.

Randy Orton:

Randy Orton is heavily featured at the top of the WWE creative plans right through until, and including WrestleMania 30.

The Undertaker:

WWE have confirmed that The Undertaker was going to compete with Kane vs The Shield at SummerSlam, but The Shield injured him when they put him through a table and he could not get fit in time. However, Taker fans, good news, he met with Triple H last week, and Hunter presented him with some creative ideas for him to come back, possibly as early as Survivor Series, maybe the Royal Rumble, and dependent on his physical health, he was said to be open to the idea of a return earlier than has become usual in recent years.

He may not be alone, his Wife Michelle McCool is also interesting WWE after impressing officials at a masterclass she gave to the NXT stars recently.

Stacy Keibler:

Stacy wants to come back to WWE. However she is setting strict proviso's. She wants a one night return and wants paying $1,000,000 for the appearance. Her people have said she grew accustomed to the opulent lifestyle she enjoyed whilst dating George Clooney and wants to maintain that standard of life, that, she believes will cost Her $50,000 a month, hence this hefty request. She also wants to make some financial investments to help her create new revenue streams.

The chances are slight however, WWE would probably only pay that for a Mania match and Stacy was better known as a valet than a ring star. Also the last time Stacy wanted to come back in 2009 (She had asked to present an episode of Raw) WWE did not even pay her the respect to respond to her request, never mind take her up on it.

Rumours were circulating earlier this Summer that WWE wanted her back, but that was flatly denied by WWE, and the rumours were from a newspaper not noted for it's honesty, so the validity of those rumours is questionable.

WWE were considering putting the WWE title on RVD but his refusal to commit to a new contract has changed those plans and a new idea for the World Title leaked online today would see RVD take the title from Alberto Del Rio this Sunday, Ricardo Rodriguez turn on RVD to return to ADR's side and Sandow take his chance to cash in and claim the title.

Some within WWE are said to be dead against this angle for two reasons...

Goldust:

Ryback talks career goals:

"I'd love to take on Bill Goldberg. I think it's a match that's going to make me a lot of money. It's going to make him a lot of money. It's a match the WWE Universe want to see. I said recently that if people keep chanting his name at me, they're going to make me a ton of money. WWE's going to want to bring in Bill Goldberg to face Ryback. (But) one of my main goals is ending The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. It's something everyone has their opinion on. Some people say it's something that should never end. I say why not? I say I'm good enough to end it, and I'm very confident in myself. I know there are a lot of people that will say otherwise, but I could care less what they say. I'm the one who wakes up every day and knows how hard I've worked for this. It's something, if I don't believe I can do it, nobody else is going to believe it. I talked to him (The Undertaker) last year at WrestleMania. He made a comment to me. We were down by the ring somewhere and he said 'I hear you're doing some interviews and saying you want The Undertaker.' I said 'You're damn right I do.' That's all it was. Whether it happens this year or the year after, I don't know. Whatever the WWE asks of me, I will do because they are my employer. I give them everything I have because I have a love and passion for this and there is no ego involved. The Undertaker is definitely another one for WrestleMania. There is no bigger for me. The streak has become its own attraction. If that's a possibility, I'm there."

Ken Shamrock shoots on Triple H:

Ken Shamrock says Triple H's ego is the reason he has not returned to WWE, and says Hunter wants to be Vince McMahon...

"I promise you that Triple H wants to be Vince McMahon, he wants that charisma, he wants that control, and he wants that respect but the only way you going to get the respect by putting yourself a side and pushing other people. Now the only way anyone is going to get pushed is if Triple H has something to do with them, period. That right there is a problem. You can't start an organization when you're actually going to be running it and putting yourself in the limelight. Vince McMahon did not do that. Vince McMahon put over (Hulk) Hogan, McMahon put over Andre the Giant, and he was nowhere to be seen. Right now, you got a guy that's pretty questionable on why he is there and then he makes it even more of a problem by putting himself in the limelight and everybody is going: "See, I told you so.'"

Eric Bischoff:

Goldberg:

QUESTION OF THE DAY...

Is Rey as good as he was in 2007?, can he get back to that level or is his ring career coming to an end???
