Today's News

Don't trust anybody:


Evan Bourne has revealed the WWE referee's were used as snitches, and asked to report talent to the office for any rule infractions.

''Every now and then they try and get the referees to be snitches on us. Not the agents, in the Talent Relations chain, someone would leverage a referee for information. I always felt like that might have been a thing that went on."

He also revealed Referee's were paid financial bonuses for DQ'ing wrestlers on the house show circuit...

"Referees weren't always with wrestlers. On the house shows they would do the ring crew so they would travel completely separately. There was certainly... they'd try to pit us against each other. They did stuff like, if you're doing something totally illegal, like if you have a 5 count in the corner and you're punching the guy, the ref counts to 5 and he disqualifies you. He got a bonus for that DQ because he followed the rules and we didn't. I'm dead serious, that was a thing. They would bonus the ref for applying the rule set."

He has been taking some heat for his comments on Twitter, leading to another former star, Tyler Reks, backing his statements up, as ''Not claims, but truths''.


TNA sign new deal:


TNA have landed a TV deal in Africa via SuperSport.


TNA star leaves:

They're Baaack:

Bad sign for TNA:


TNA lost 24% of the viewers for their first Wednesday night episode, vs the last Thursday episode of Impact. TNA are putting it down to fans not yet being used to the change of night.


Daniel Bryan:


WWE are playing down reports that Daniel Bryan needs more surgery, saying evaluations are still ongoing.


Second WWE star snubs challenge:


Justin Roberts followed RVD in refusing to do the ice challenge, but unlike RVD did offer proof that he donated money to the cause.

One man that did do it, after accepting the challenge from his wife Michelle McCool, seconds after he poured the water on her, was The Undertaker.


Chavo Guerrero blasts WWE:


In response to wanting to sign an Olympian and push him as the next Rey Mysterio...

"I love when ppl sat they are the next @reymysterio makes me laugh out loud!! As many have found out, there is only 1 Mysterio!! #thebest619 Or when ppl say WWE is grooming me to be the next @Reymysterio HAHAHAHA! Rey is a one & only. No one else like him!"


WWE vs Rey:


It is reported that WWE are prepared to extend Rey Mysterio's WWE deal for another year, depending on how much time he misses with his current injury.


Alberto Del Rio:


The ongoing lawsuit between a former WWE employee and Big Show played a part in the decision to cut Alberto Del Rio. Big Show was involved physically with a staffer last year, and he is suing for the damage he suffered, WWE felt letting this slide would add weight to the case he is making against them, and Big Show.


Roman Reigns:


Do not expect Roman Reigns to get into the title matches before next years WrestleMania, probably meaning he will win the Royal Rumble. WWE feel it would be counter productive to put him up against Lesnar now, and need to keep building him up going into Mania, where the win would mean more.
