Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

Man, even as far back as WM22 WWE were making excuses for Cena.

"This is a traditional wrestling crowd", "A lot of old school fans here", "It's old school vs. new school".

I mean seriously, they've been making excuses and saying "oh geez you guyz is entitled to boo me if you want" for SIX years now, and still people boo the fuck out of him some nights. When will WWE accept there's something wrong with the John Cena character?

Probably around the time he stops making them $100 million a year in merchandise sales.

That's a very good question. I wish I knew the answer.

I imagine a genius booker like McMahon is supposed to be can find a way to fix the John Cena character without losing his merchandize sales.

Yeah I don't think Mr McMahon is stupid considering he turned "a bunch of gay men rolling around in their underwear" into a global empire

-- According to CTPost.com, James Dewayne Bass, also known as Kelly Monique, 34, of Prospect, TN has been extradited to Stamford, CT. Bass is charged with first-degree larceny and four counts of second-degree forgery after making 111 withdrawals in the fall of 2011. Bass has gained control of the WWE account by obtaining routing and account numbers of the WWE checking account. Bass stole over $50,000 from WWE, and was already on probation for an identity theft conviction in Tennessee.

-- As we reported earlier, a match featuring a team of Superstars representing each brands GM will take place at WrestleMania. At least some of the participants for that match are expected to be announced on Monday's Raw from Cleveland.

-- As a reminder, The Rock is currently scheduled for all of the RAW shows leading up to WrestleMania 28. He'll also appear on the post-WrestleMania RAW.
- LocalBozo.com conducted an interview with Edge promoting WWE Studios' latest release – Bending the Rules. The Rated-R Superstar provided insight into his current state of contentment in retirement, his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame and speech, whether he considers himself an actor now, whether he'll work with WWE again and more.

-- WWE.com has published a photo gallery of WrestleMania VIII, which featured Ric Flair defending the WWE Championship against "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan going toe-to-toe with Sid Justice.

-- WWE is hoping that Sin Cara will be back by late June to early July. Obviously, this means he won't be available for WrestleMania as they initially hoped.

-- The Rock recently bought a mansion that Vanilla Ice is currently fixing up on his DIY Network show.

Before she signed with WWE, WWE Diva Maxine had a very different career. Maxine (real name Carly Perez) studied criminology in college and was working for a state attorney when she made the decision to change careers and got into wrestling. At the time she made the change, she had no prior experience in pro wrestling or acting, but she felt that it came naturally to her.

Seriously, I watched Rosa at the show I went to last night (it's 4am Saturday morning now) and I was thinking 'holy shit, I can egg on the crowd and cheer for whoever my wrestler(s) is/are.'

It's people like Rosa who make you realize you don't need to be anything special to get into the business as a valet. All she did was piss off the crowd and boo when Primo or Epico were getting beat down.

This has nothing to do with Maxine, the paragraph you posted made me think of it because Maxine basically walked in with 0 experience, though she actually wrestles, so that's awesome, but people like Rosa, wow, could I be just as useless? Yes, yes I can.

Here is the synopsis for the April content that will appear on WWE Classics OnDemand… "All April, go "Over the Top" with WWE Classics On Demand as unusual Superstars and out of the ordinary matches are featured."

Lilian Garcia appeared at Planet Hollywood in Times Square on Wednesday, promoting her latest music video.

-- WWE developmental talent Seth Rollins defeated Drew McIntyre at Saturday's hose show in East Lansing, Michigan. Rollins previously toured with the main roster in December, defeating Tyson Kidd in three show matches.

-- Mick Foley posted the following on Twitter in regards to him disliking the current angle with Eve. Foley feels that the angle sends a mixed message, due to the fact that it goes against their involvement with "BE A STAR," and John Cena's motto of "Rise Above The Hate."

"Not everyone agreed with my comments, but from time to time I feel like a should add my voice to certain subjects," he tweeted.

Shawn Michaels recently posted about his visit to the WWE Legends house. Here is what he had to say…

At the airport headed to LA to visit/fish w/ the "Legends House". I'm a bit scaredTruthfully, I can't wait to see them all. Will be fun!

So far the "Legends House" has been eventful...and we're just now getting on the water!! Hope y'all are having great day

Having dinner with the "Legends" tonite...needless to say we're having fish. Word is, a couple are quite good cooks!! It's been a great day.

LOL that's selective reading at it's best. Riley wished Teddy luck, and showed his support for team Long, that DOESN'T hint at Long competing in the slightest.
