It’s only Sin Cara’s fault if he had ESP and would have known Ziggler was about to slip.” Dolph also said in an interview that he is very vocal in the back... “Either way, I’ve always found that I’ve kept at it. I’ve made myself vocal backstage. I stood up for what I believe in and if I thought something didn’t make sense, I said something about it. It’s not something you can just walk in and start doing. But if you’ve earned some respect from your peers, if you’ve earned it from a legend, you’re able to speak your mind if you see something that’s wrong. And I thought I need to be in a better position to help the WWE. I need to be in a higher spot on the card. I’m that good at my job and slowly but surely, one way or another, it’s a little slower that I would have liked but everything I’ve done is paying off right now.”

It’s called “having an imagination.” Obviously, trying to be a duplicate ripoff of the past is not “new” or “original” nor “game changing.” #ECW was a product of its time. When I wrote @WWE #Smackdown in 2002/03, I didn’t try to duplicate ECW. You move on with the times, people. #ECW One Night Stand was supposed to be a ONE NIGHT STAND. Not a way to re-marry your ex.

The Hall Of Famer went from a dig to praising AJ in three FaceBook posts, she first attacked, then denied knowledge of, then praised AJ over the weekend... ''it’s unfair she’s getting ripped when AJ is “sucking face” on RAW. She wrote, “AJ (whoever that is) sucked face with 2 men a few days ago on worldwide TV. totally trumpted what I did.. and I STILL GET CRITICIZED.” Sytch then clarified to her friends that she has no “heat” with the WWE Diva—she just doesn’t know who she is: “I didnt take a shot at AJ…I dont watch wrestling…any wrestling…so I honestly didnt know who she was. Once in a blue moon I’ll flip passed it on TV and I happened to see that angle…and didnt know who she was. thats all. period. no harm in not knowing. I dont know who half the guys on that roster are.” Sytch then posted a message complementing AJ: “If they are willing to finally give a chick a spot like that, with all the air time (like they did with me) more power to her. From what I saw, which was very little, she has her character down pat… and I love her facials. dont know where she came from, but she was either taught right, or just has it. I was never taught anything, it would just come naturally. If that is her case, fantabulous!” More positively Sunny has entered herself into a Rehab facility, to try to clean herself up, she fell off the wagon after a 5 year relationship broke down last year, and has been spiralling out of control.
Shawn Michaels:

Money In The Bank:
How put together at the the last minute, they added 3 matches to the show as filler while the event was happening. The moved the Tag Title match off the card, then added a tag match???, also a 6 diva tag match, and a Ryback squash. The Miz returned to action after been away making a movie.
Will be off TV for the next few weeks, he has begun filming his movie The Hive this weekend.
WWE women's division:
The signing of Sara Del Rey is the first of many female workers they intend to hire, because they are tired of hiring what they call ''Swimsuit Models'' such as The Bella's, Maxine, Maryse, and Kelly Kelly who get bored or frustrated and leave. This is the start of a change in the hiring policy of women to WWE, and IMO can only be a good thing. Sara Del Rey will be asked to work with the current female roster to improve their ring work.
Hulk Hogan:
The Hulkster is to open a shop and museum in Pensacola Florida.
WWE bring back TV show:
WWE are to bring back the 80's show Spotlight.

WWE have been told twice before been told they cannot trademark the name Ryback, because it is a surname, the UPTSO who make the decisions have now told them no for a third time, and say this time it is final.
Kharma:
WWE star Kharma, who is reported to have been released, has turned down Indy bookings on Twitter... ''Thank you to all of the offers pouring in. However, I am not taking bookings at this time''. This is a work, WWE would have future endevoured her by now, when the story broke online, she will be at Raw 1000... Watch!!!.
