Today's News

TNA file new lawsuit:


They have decided to take Scott Steiner to court for breach of contract, he apparently signed a deal which stopped him from making unscripted public comments without office approval. They have however been told that they would not get very far, firstly due to the fact he is no longer employed by TNA, so is not bound by that contract, and also because freedom of speech is a basic human right, and even though he is revealing embarrassing stories, he is not breaking laws.

Kenny Dykstra:


The former Spirit Squad member is back with another attack on John Cena, talking about wanting Randy Orton fired...

“It was the same night when Cena tried toughening up Carlito (which was absolutely stupid of Cena) he was pretty much bullying him because we all know if Carlito hit Cena and hurt him he would be fired plain and simple. But regardless once John calmed down I asked him what that was all about he ranted and other crap saying people need to hold their own weight around here and some how he got to Randy being suspended saying he is trying for Randy’s release to send a message to everyone that they can all be fired just as easily. As for now I don’t know if John is trying for Randy’s release or not but if I had to guess I would say he is due to the fact that he told me he was before. This assumption could be wrong however John telling me in the past he did want Randy fired is true”.

He also revealed how WWE try to kill relationships forming between superstars, by separating them and putting them onto different shows, they did this recently with Eden Stiles who was (And still is) dating Cody Rhodes, so she quit the company rather have the pressure of separation hurting their courtship.


Vader Time:


The 57 year old legend praised Heath Slater in the back after his Raw return last week, he is also keen to return for one more run, but his knees are shot (He looked good to go to me), he is currently busy training his son Jake White (FCW's Jake Carter).


Goodbye Y2J?:


Chris Jericho has said he intends to pursue his music career full time, as he has achieved all he wants to in wrestling...

“I’ve done everything I could possibly do in wrestling. It’s been great, but now Fozzy is kind of growing to be at the level where I am in wrestling, and Fozzy is what I wanna do. Wrestling will always be there, and if I decide to go back, it’s great. But after all these years of hard work with the band, to get some of this momentum behind us is a very rare thing.”

Countdown (Day 3)...

“Get up on your feet Put your hands together Sing along with 3 Count We’ll party up forever…”


Name a Tag Team:


Justin Gabriel has asked his followers on Twitter to name his tag team pairing with Tyson Kidd.


Milestone:

Vince McMahon Criticised:


The Creative Coalition who paired up with WWE to create the anti-bullying campaign Be-A Star, has condemned Vince McMahon as a hypocrite after his mocking of Jim Ross's facial paralysis on Raw last week.


John Laurinaitis:


Johnny Ace has had another of his backstage responsibilities removed from him, he is no longer in charge of putting together live shows, Michael Hayes will have the privilege from here on out.


New FCW Champion:


IRS's son Bo Rotunda is the new standard bearer in WWE's developmental group after a double title switch saw former champ Seth Rollins lose to Rick Victor and he then lose it right away to Bo.

Goldust:


After being fired by WWE earlier this year, Dustin Rhodes has refused the opportunity to be at Raw 1000 as his eponymous character.


McMahon's net worth:


Linda McMahon's political bid has meant she has released her and her husband's financial figures. If Linda McMahon is elected to the United States Senate, she could be the wealthiest member, earning alone a cool $90 Million. Her husband Vince is worth $350 million. Despite this they both recently took out loans of between $5 million and $25 million from Morgan Stanley to build their investment profiles.


Sabin surgery:


Chris Sabin will be benched for 6 to 9 months after he undergoes knee surgery on his torn ACL later today, just months after returning from an 11 month lay off with the same injury on the other knee.

Super Diva:


AJ Lee has been to Marvel Headquarters for an interview.


Randy Orton:


Despite his future with WWE still not sorted, Randy is making demands, he is frustrated with his role as a Face, feeling he works better heel, and he also wants his Punt Kick back.

He should have thought of that before he almost caved Cody's skull in.
