Today's News

Legend passes:

WWE also paid tribute...

Network UK:


WWE have confirmed the Network will be rolled out in the UK on Monday, November 3.


Gimmick thief:


Maxine, formerly of WWE, says Aksana used her FCW gimmick to earn her promotion to the main WWE roster. She had written a character, a seductress, power hungry femme fatale, that was planning on targeting Teddy Long, as he was the GM of SmackDown at the time, to make it in WWE, and was talking to Aksana about it, to get her feedback. The next day Aksana turned up with her hair dyed black and a very interesting idea she had thought up overnight... Maxine's idea. The FCW coaches passed the idea up the food chain, and she was brought up later the same week to do the role on TV. Further to this, Maxine claims, salt was rubbed into the open wound, because the WWE asked her to work with Aksana to improve the role, and her promo skills.

Low Ki talks WWE's future, under HHH:


''With Triple H, in all fairness to WWE, at least he was a wrestler. So his perspective on how to manage the company and arrange things may have a little more intimate detail in mind than what Vince [McMahon] would do because Vince was never a wrestler. At least Triple H has the in-ring experience to see things differently. The reason why I say Vince McMahon has never been a wrestler is because he has never put his body through hell to the degree of what his performers do and then advance into management. At least Triple H has that insight into potentially directing the company into a different position."


UFC star turns down $5,000,000 contract from WWE:


Chael Sonnen says Vince McMahon made a personal approach, during his time with UFC, hoping he would make the move to WWE, but he says he rejected the money, as he did not want to be dis-loyal to UFC.

Foley rejects TV show:
