Today's News

Dusty Rhodes on Brother vs Brother match:


"He [Goldust] wanted to wrestle his brother for a year. I never thought it was necessary. If you put it on Wrestlemania in New Orleans It would be a show stealer. I think everyone would like to see it, but it's not going to happen for several reasons."

He did not further discuss what those reasons were.


Raw:


To mark St. Patricks Day, WWE are planning on something special involving Sheamus for the show. Happy St Paddy's day to any Irish fans BTW...

Teaser...

* What will Triple H have in store for Daniel Bryan?

* Will The Shield face repercussions for not helping Kane on SmackDown?

* What's next in the war of words between Bray Wyatt & John Cena?

* Who's next for The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal?

* Will Randy Orton & Batista make a preemptive strike at Bryan


New WWE Titles:


WWE have posted a feature teasing the potential addition of a 6 man tag team championship, Goldust was not impressed, saying they would not mean anything, as there were only two factions to compete for them, today a member of one of those groups, Seth Rollins, disagreed...

"I wouldn't go that far, but if there were Six-Man Tag Team Titles, they would be The Shield's for the taking. Nobody would touch us — not even The Wyatts."

Batista:


Batista has filmed the final scenes for his Marvel movie this week.


Carlito:


Carlito has expressed his pride at his Father's HOF induction, and said he would be at the ceremony. He also said he would be open to a return to WWE in the future...

"I am proud of my father. He deserved it years ago for our family we are very proud and it's a great honor. Puerto Rico is talking about it. They are proud of him. It's good to see him getting recognized."

WWE have also acknowledged, for the first time, that Los Matadores are Primo and Epico, they too paid tribute.

TNA:


TNA have played down the lack of top stars at the recent Impact taping's, they say Daniels, Kazarian and Austin Aries missed the show to save money, and to give some new and returning stars the spotlight.


UFC star to WWE:


Ronda Rousey says she is open to giving wrestling a go in the future. She even has an idea about it, she would be called Rowdy Ronda Rousey, as tribute to Roddy Piper, and would be a part of the Four Horse Women.


WrestleMania 30:


WWE have two ideas for Kane's WrestleMania match, either vs Big Show, or something with, or against The Shield.

Zack Ryder says he wants a spot in the Battle Royal. Cesaro and Jack Swagger will be confirmed tonight.

Sting will be in NOLA on WrestleMania day, but with the WrestleCon event, not WWE... Or is he???...


CM Punk:


CM Punk appeared on TV show the Talking Dead last night. The host introduced him as Phil Brooks AKA CM Punk, but then only called him by his real name for the rest of the show, as expected there was no talk about his status or wrestling.


Ex WCW man rips Cena / Orton:


Scotty Riggs is not a fan of either man, he said of John Cena...

"Every single match is the same, and it is sickening. Five simple moves every match. When it is time for Cena's comeback it is the same moves, boom, boom, boom. That does not suspend any disbelief. That is what wrestlers are supposed to do, have the craft to anywhere in the match a finish can come up. Cena has mixed himself with the Super Cena thing, which is what Vince McMahon has a hard on for, he is a good guy that is so good that it is sickening. That is why so many people don't like him. Cena is WWE's cash cow. When I am watching Cena I feel like I am watching a TV commercial. Everything he is doing, he is selling cereal, he is selling t-shirts, he is selling something in everything he does."

And on Randy Orton...

"Randy Orton just can't seem to find something that fits. He's got all the tools in the world, and every opportunity, but he is not allowed to be himself."

RVD to TNA:


Rob Van Dam says he gave TNA every opportunity to re-sign him last year, but even after agreeing a new deal, grew tired of waiting for the company to sort out their paperwork, and get the contract drawn up, so he walked away and returned to WWE.

He admitted that they hurt his ego by keeping him hanging on.

WWE Cartoon launches:


Here are the first four episodes of Slam City...












Hall Of Fame 2014:


TMZ today reported that Mr. T would be announced for the Hall Of Fame tonight, but later removed the story from their site. It seems they were premature on breaking the news, as Vince McMahon gave them a quote for the article...

"His WWE appearances were instrumental in helping to establish WrestleMania as the pop-culture phenomenon it is today."

And WWE have since released a statement confirming his induction.

Speculation is, with T being announced next, Scott Hall will probably be the last name announced, as WWE usually induct no more than 7 a year (Bar 2004).

Jake The Snake and Scott Hall have booked a venue to host a HOF party over the Mania weekend.

Sting:


During a UK speaking event Sting has confirmed that he did talk to WWE about joining them during the Invasion angle, but that he didn't feel right about it. He praised the Ultimate Warrior's HOF induction and hinted that fans know he has signed, but couldn't say so officially yet, probably meaning WWE. He named Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle as the greatest wrestlers ever, and talked about taming Vader from his too stiff style. He also talked about almost being killed in a car with Lex Luger and The Steiner's due to the brothers ribbing Luger's physique, and Luger flipping out. Rick, who was driving, was laughing so hard he almost spun out.


Zack Ryder:


Here is episode 2 of Zack's new YouTube show.

WWE poll:

Jim Cornette shoot:


Jim Cornette has blasted Oklahoma, and praised Chris Benoit during a recent shoot...

On Oklahoma (Ed Ferrara)...

''I saw him in Nashville in 2002--I had promised the promoter I wouldn't punch him, but I didn't promise I wouldn't try to get HIM to punch ME first--I told him what I thought of him for doing that to JR and I spit in his face in front of 30 witnesses, and the gutless p---y did nothing. That's what he deserved for making fun of a near career-ending disability suffered by a guy who has more talent in his finger than Ferrara in his whole body, he should have never been allowed in our business in the first place. If anyone sees him, tell him Jim Cornette STILL says he's a gutless sack of s--t.''

On Chris Benoit...

''He was a great talent, a wonderful friend and a fine human being who for some reason or combination of reasons went insane and did horrible, unforgiveable things in the last two days of his life--you can't erase him from history, but if anyone would confront it we might learn something to prevent it from happening again.''

He also called The Briscoe's the next big thing, Colt Cabana a fine mid carder and blasted Vince Russo with an epic expletive loaded rant.
