Today's News

Rey to stay:

Backstage word coming out of WWE is Rey Mysterio got everything he asked for from Vince McMahon, and he will re-sign a new WWE contract in May next year. WWE are desperate to maintain a latino presence on their show, and Rey knows he will have no hope of making the same bank with any other group, so they are stuck to each other, for better or worse. This will likely be Rey Rey's last run, but he would then become an ambassador for WWE, work he will start during his next contract window.

Mood turning:

Backstage talk is starting to turn against CM Punk, talent are starting to get fed up, as he is the only thing anyone is talking about in wrestling for the past couple of weeks, and he is the guy that says he wants nothing more to do with the sport. Must say I kind of agree, I am / was a big Punk fan, but you have moved on, let the rest of us, you had your say, you have made your move to UFC, have a great time, see you when you want to come back, it feels like he is the only thing I have talked about on here all month.

"So you could watch a guy in a bunny suit instead."
