Drew McIntyre's 'gay' gimmick?

2012-02-25T17:19:00.000-05:00

WWE SmackDown star Drew McIntyre will be getting a new “arrogant playboy” gimmick. At a weekend WWE SmackDown live event in Honduras, Drew started the new gimmick and was acting sexual and flirting with male fans in the crowd. Before the match, he was seen blowing kisses at some of the males.

It should also be noted that McIntyre stopped the match at one point to comb his hair.

McIntyre wound up losing the match to Ezekiel Jackson.

Original Plans For Chris Jericho & CM Punk Revealed

2012-02-25T13:56:00.000-05:00

According to sources, the RAW Battle Royal main event to crown an opponent for CM Punk at WrestleMania 28 was a last minute idea that came from Vince McMahon. Although WWE officials had been planning for months that they were going to do a CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho match at WrestleMania, they just weren’t sure how they were going to get there.

One idea discussed over the past several weeks was that Jericho would insult Punk so bad that Punk would eventually wind up demanding a match between the two. WWE officials decided that the storyline was too close to what they were doing with The Undertaker vs. Triple H storyline so they went a different route.

There were also discussions about fans who just paid to see the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view to determine the WrestleMania main events and having Jericho throw insults to get a title shot would devalue the Chamber to fans.

Kurt Angle speaks – WWE return?, Nash’s WWE treatment

2011-11-15T16:02:00.000-05:00

“Sports Axxess” on PW 24/7 Radio with Kurt Angle
Hosts: Jerry Sorrentino, James Jefferson, and Joey Image
Full episode available at PW247radio.com

Kurt Angle on the hamstring injury he had to work through during his title defenses against Bobby Roode and James Storm: “I did have to be careful of the injury when I wrestled James Storm at the TV tapings. I gave it all I could, which was only one minute of wrestling. I’ve only missed nine days but now I’m back to Olympic form. It was just a slight tear in my hamstring but there was a lot of bleeding. The bleeding went all the way down my hamstring, down my calf, down my shin, all the way down to my foot. It was black and blue, but the injury wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. But now I’m back to training. I’ve done a lot of interviews and gotten a lot of attention for training for an Olympic comeback. My only obstacle is Jake Barter. He’s almost guaranteed to win a medal because he is that good. So if I beat him, USA wrestling wants to make sure I’m capable of winning a medal. So they want me to come out and train at Colorado Springs, and I’m going to do that. I think I have a great shot at making the team.”

On getting into MMA: “I’ve had a lot of talks with Dana White. While he’s denied the offers, Dana and I respect each other enough for us not to say exactly what was offered. The thing was, he wanted me to be ready in a short time and I couldn’t do that. I wanted months, he wanted weeks. We’re good friends and I hope he has great success. But you know what, he’s said some negative things about me in the press. I still love him to death. I did pass his physical, meaning I was ready for competition, but he wanted me to be ready in four to six weeks and I couldn’t do that. It’s impossible. There’s also the fact that I’m signed with TNA and Dana didn’t want anyone fighting for him and wrestling at the same time. So Dana White, God bless you. Whatever you say, I’ll respect that because I know you wanted me to fight for you and wanted me to be your guy.”

On Kevin Nash: “I love him to death. I know why he went to WWE. He wanted the carrot. He wanted that carrot they dangled in front of his face. But has the WWE used him the right way since he came back? No. Kevin should come back to TNA where they can use him the way he should be. WWE thinks he’s old and washed up but TNA doesn’t think that. TNA wants Kevin Nash. He is so gifted, talented, and popular. I want him back in TNA because he’s one of my best friends.”

On working in wrestling after retirement and potentially joining the WWE Hall of Fame: “If I end up in the Hall of Fame in the WWE, I don’t know if I’ll accept it. I love Vince McMahon. He made me a lot of money and was like a father figure to me. But Dixie Carter is my boss and I love her to death. So I don’t know what I’m going to do. I would like to say that I am not going back to the WWE. But Vince McMahon may offer me something when I retire and I’m done with TNA. But I’d also like to be part of creative or be an agent in TNA. Out of everyone in the world, I am the best at coming up with finishes. I would like to stay with TNA and do that. A lot of people ask if I’d go back if Vince wanted me for WrestleMania, and I don’t know the answer to that. But I know I am happy in TNA and I’d like to stay there.”

All this and much more can be heard in the full hour long interview with Kurt Angle. This interview, along with countless hours of other original pro-wrestling content, can be found exclusively and for free only on PW 24/7 Radio.

Post-RAW reports

2011-11-15T15:41:00.000-05:00

Sources sent the following in:

You saw what aired, here is what you didn’t see and some other notes.

-In a dark match Michael McGillicutty defeated JTG with a swinging neckbreaker.

-For Superstars, Alex Riley beat Drew McIntyre and Epico and Primo beat The Usos.

-The guy who played John Cena’s coach was an indy wrestler who works as Johnny Vegas.

-John Cena Sr. actually got a decent reaction until he heeled the fans.

-By the end, there were a lot of people around me griping about the show. I joined in with them. It was the longest three hours of my life and I was so excited for the show when I got my tickets and found out Rock would be there. Now, I am not sure I would go to another WWE show.

-After Raw went off the air, CM Punk, John Cena, Randy Orton and Zack Ryder beat Mark Henry, The Miz and R-Truth. It was originally a six-man match but Punk brought out Ryder, who scored the pin for the babyfaces.

Here is another set of notes from a source

After Raw went off the Air, they had the scheduled 6 man tag, Cena Orton Punk vs Henry Miz Truth. Punk missed his hop up to the ropes and got hung up in them, pretty funny. During the bout, the crowd started the “We want Ryder” chant. After a few minutes Punk ran to the back. About 5 minutes later Punk brought out Ryder who was already in his street clothes.

Ryder ended up pinning the Miz for the win after a Rough Ryder And did a promo about how he started the True Long Island Story 39 weeks ago to “get fired or get noticed”. He said that because of the fans he got noticed and thanked the Boston crowd and called us the Broski’s of the week.

It was a pretty awesome ending to what at least appeared to be an impromptu inclusion of Ryder who wasn’t appearing on the show in a match.

Brodus Clay/WWE?, TLC possible Spoiler! matches

2011-11-15T15:32:00.000-05:00

– Brodus Clay did not return on RAW and there was no vignette this week. We hope to have more shortly.

The Rock to wrestle at RAW tonight?

2011-11-14T14:14:00.000-05:00

John Cena appeared this morning on Toucher & Rich, a morning radio show on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston.

During his interview, Cena stated that the dark match for RAW will feature Mark Henry, Miz & R-Truth vs. Zack Ryder, himself and The Rock. If this is the case, it will be Rock’s first wrestling match since WrestleMania 20 in 2004.

Chris Jericho tweets: might not wrestle again, The Rock's future plans

2011-11-14T09:15:00.000-05:00

– Some have said that because WWE does not say their superstars “wrestle,” this could mean Chris Jericho might return to “entertain” for them again. Jericho has been known to ‘work’ the internet.

Chris Jericho stated Saturday night on Twitter that he will never wrestle for WWE again.

He wrote, “Let me get something straight…I will never wrestle for the WWE again. But there is some big news coming up in the world of dance…”

– After WWE’s Survivor Series pay-per-view, The Rock will begin filming “Snitch” from early December through mid-January in Shreveport, Louisiana. Snitch is the movie where Rock will play a father who is forced to become an informant for the DEA to get his teenage son out of a 10-year stretch in prison. BAM Casting will be holding an open casting call for extras and stand-ins for The Rock on Saturday, November 19th in Shreveport.

Kane's return update

2011-11-14T09:10:00.000-05:00

– Current creative plans call for Kane to return at the Royal Rumble.

WWE.com announced July 22, 2011 that Kane would be sidelined for at least three months due to a fractured fibula. He sustained the injury while being attacked by Mark Henry on the previous night’s SmackDown, which occurred moments after Randy Orton defeated the multi-time champion in a Street Fight.

Triple H is out 6 weeks & original Rock/Cena plans

2011-10-26T15:04:00.000-04:00

– WWE’s website has posted a storyline update on Triple H following the attack from Kevin Nash on last night’s RAW Supershow. They report that the WWE COO has suffered fractured vertebrae in his neck. The doctor adds that Triple H will be out of action for at least six weeks.

– In addition to The Rock and John Cena vs. The Miz and R-Truth, CM Punk vs. WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio – Kevin Nash vs. Triple H in some sort of gimmick match is planned for WWE’s Survivor Series pay-per-view.

– As noted earlier today, WWE changed plans with The Rock and John Cena at Survivor Series as they originally had a traditional Survivor Series match planned with the two on the same team. That was changed to The Rock and John Cena vs. The Miz and R-Truth in part because officials felt that putting Rock and Cena in a traditional 5-on-5 match would take too much attention off them going into their WrestleMania 28 match.

The Rock to make decision next week on RAW

2011-10-26T15:01:00.002-04:00

– Monday night’s RAW concluded with Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis ordering The Miz and R-Truth to exit the ring after the two continued to batter Cena following their match. The executive then made a huge announcement — John Cena will take on The Miz and R-Truth at Survivor Series with a partner of his choosing.

Cena extended an invitation to his opponent at WrestleMania XXVIII, The Rock.

WWE aired an advertisement for Monday’s RAW during tonight’s NXT taping in Houston, Texas asking whether The Rock will accept Cena’s offer to join forces at the Survivor Series.

Cena wrestled in a pair of camouflage shorts last night.

Cena told fans on Twitter a few months back that he was considering changing his look up a bit. However, it’s said that last night’s change, besides the Rise Above Hate shirt, wasn’t permanent and Cena was just wearing the camo shorts to pay tribute to the troops at nearby Fort Hood.

SmackDown! moving to Tuesday update & Punk/Cena

2011-10-22T11:54:00.000-04:00

– John Cena has been topped as WWE’s top merchandise seller by CM Punk. For the first time in five years, a regular wrestler has topped John Cena. The Rock had previously accomplished this during his short return, but in addition to topping Cena, Punk has also topped the single day sales record of the Rock. This is the first time in 5-years anyone has topped Cena from within the company and not only has Punk done so at WWE Shopzone, but also at live events Punk is the merchandise king.

– As we noted last week here on the website, WWE has plans to run another live episode of WWE SmackDown!. The show will air live from Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday, November 29th. Just like last time they did a live episode, they’ll be airing the replay several days later at the normal timeslot on Friday night. This is basically another ratings test to see if a permanent move to Tuesday nights will take place.

Spoilers! WWE SD! results for Friday 10/7

2011-10-05T14:22:00.000-04:00

SmackDown:
*Smackdown opens with a backstage segment featuring Teddy Long and Zack Ryder discussing the Raw walk-out. Long says Raw’s loss will be Smackdown’s gain.

*In the ring are Christian, Wade Barrett, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes and Vickie Guerrero. They say that unless HHH steps down as COO, they will be boycotting live events as its not a safe working environment.

*WWE champ Alberto Del Rio comes out and says that the Smackdown stars won’t return to Raw as long as HHH is COO. He’s here to show Smackdown what Raw will be missing this Monday. Teddy Long comes out and announces Sheamus & Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes & Christian as tonight’s main event, but says that since Del Rio wants to be in action tonight, he will face Sin Cara.

*WWE champion Alberto Del Rio defeated Sin Cara. After the match, Black Cara attacked Blue Cara.

*Backstage, Matt Striker interviewed WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom, asking them why they walked out on Raw. They said it was a culmination of many things but until HHH steps down, the fans won’t see Air Boom anywhere but Smackdown.

*Jack Swagger and WWE United States champion Dolph Ziggler defeated WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom in a non title match. The champions were attacked as they made their entrance and were on the defensive for most of the match.

*WWE Divas champion Beth Phoenix defeated Alicia Fox in 30 seconds. After the match, Fox was trapped in Beth’s submission while Natalya screamed at her on the mic to cry and scream.

*Big Show makes his return and cuts a promo about finally returning after being hurt for several months. World champion Mark Henry came out and cut a promo saying he’ll deal with Show in time, but Show hasn’t done a thing to deserve a title shot.

*Matt Striker interviewed Randy Orton, asking him why he wasn’t out there for the HHH vote of confidence on Monday. Orton says if he has a problem with HHH, he’ll deal with him personally. He says he doesn’t play well with others and doesn’t like a group mentality.

*Big Show returns to the ring and says that he wants Mark Henry tonight and wants Henry’s answer by tonight. It looks like they are adding something to the previous segment or perhaps re-filming it.

*Ezekiel Jackson pinned Jinder Mahal.

*Backstage, Johnny Ace shows up in Teddy Long’s office and says Teddy can count on him if he needs anything.

*There is a segment were Hornswoggle and Booker T do Spinaroonies, but that’s likely going to be a segment for the live house only.

*Randy Orton & Sheamus defeated WWE Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes & Christian after Orton nailed Cody with the RKO.

*They teased something with Henry and Show but I have to head out due to an early meeting. If they did anything once they ended the taping, I’ll miss it. Interesting to note that like Dayton a few weeks ago, the entire side of the Arena where the hard cameras was located was tarped off with the entire audience on the one side of the venue.

The Rock at next 3-hour RAW?, Rhodes gimmick changes?

2011-10-04T21:06:00.000-04:00

There has been talk of doing away with Cody Rhodes’ protective mask soon.

On a related note, word is that WWE actually made the decision to have Cody bring back the classic white Intercontinental Title belt some time in the past week or two.

Officials were hoping that his promo at Hell in a Cell would get him over as a credible champion.

The Rock is being advertised to appear at the next three-hour RAW from Boston, MA on 11/14. We shall see.

Why the top faces didn't appear in RAW ending

– It was noted that during the final segment on RAW last night, names like John Cena, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Mason Ryan, Eve Torres and Kelly Kelly weren’t at ringside. Word is that WWE was expecting the fans to boo the Superstars who walked out and didn’t want certain ones getting heat from the crowd.

– Below are some more storyline comments from WWE stars on Twitter about last night’s show:

Beth Phoenix: “HHH has no concern for the Divas. Just look what happenes to myself and @NatbyNature last night. @RealKellyKelly clearly is unstable and….”

Chris Jericho: “Wow what a mess the WWE is after Raw last night! Only one man can clean it up…time to bring back Funaki.”

Jim Ross: “I was the last man to walk last night. Very conflicted. Hope this motivates HHH 2 make few changes. Good man but not surrounded by good ppl. Because you asked, I see NO one who walked off in protest Monday night going to TNA. I see this walk out being resolved soon.”

Chris Jericho speaks out - stealing moves, return, more!

2011-09-26T16:11:00.000-04:00

Chris Jericho was the guest on this week’s Wrestling Voice Radio Show he spoke about his band Fozzy, the progress on their next album, their upcoming European tour and much more. Highlights are below.
On wrestlers stealing his moves and gimmicks in WWE today and lashing out at CM Punk for doing so: “There seems to be a lack of respect for the forefathers who came in and did it first and it’s not just [CM] Punk, it’s a whole litany of guys from Miz to Cody Rhodes to Mason Ryan to Sin Cara to Kelly Kelly, everybody is stealing moves, looks, ideas. Brian Pillman once told me if you want to make it in wrestling you have to do something that nobody has done before and nobody is doing that and they are coming off as second rate copies of Chris Jericho and that’s maybe why these guys aren’t striking and I watch it and think, “Seriously, again?”

“A couple of years ago you had ‘Miz 4, John Cena 0″, where did that come from? Conspiracy Theory, where did that come from? Best in the World, where did that come from? Wearing suits, talking slow, using big words, using certain moves, you know Miz used the word “troglodyte” a few weeks ago and I’m like seriously? If there ever was a word associated with Chris Jericho that would be it. These guys have to start thinking of their own stuff and some times I see some of them and I’m like oh come on. It’s not like it’s influenced. At least give credit where credit is due.”

In response to Vampiro calling him out and labeling him a liar in a recent video: “It’s funny because I just recently complimenting him on the documentary they put out about him, but Vampiro joins the long list of guys like Superstar Billy Graham, Larry Zbyszko, Scott Hall who don’t like it when they are called out for being dicks at certain point in time and everything I’ve written in each one of my books is true.

Chris also talks about his ideal wrestling match, his ultimate tour line-up, if he would wrestle in Japan again, his favorite lyrics and more.

Cage match on RAW?

2011-09-26T15:59:00.000-04:00

As noted earlier this week here on the website, Randy Orton caused Cody Rhodes to heavily bleed on SmackDown! following an errant shot to the head with the ring bell. Cameras quickly cut to close-up shots of Orton’s face, with Rhodes’ back only being visible for the remainder of the segment. Personnel covered Rhodes’ head with a towel before Orton struck him with an RKO on the broadcast table.

The replay, however, showed blood streaming from the back of Rhodes’ head.

According to fans in attendance at Tuesday’s taping, pools of bloods were scattered around the ring following the segment.

They did a hell of a job editing that as it was said to have been brutal on Tuesday night at the TV tapings.

He stated Monday night on Twitter, “If Cena brakes the great Ric Flair’s 16 time champ record, I will never watch wrestling again. I call a boycott of Cena matches if he does!”

Guerrero also asked his Twitter followers, “How many of u are tired of John Cena being champion? Don’t get all excited, it’s just a question.” He wrote moments later, “Wow…it’s an overwhelming “tired of Cena” response! It’s not me, it’s all the fans. I could literally retweet hundreds of tired responses!”

Guerrero continued, “Now, my opinion…Cena is better than me on the mike,but I could out wrestle Cena with my eyes closed and 1 hand tied behind my back! Truth!

“Some are saying that Cena is a great athlete. Really? C’mon. Are u blind? I know Cena & I could beat him in any sport except weight lifting!

“Golf, basketball, bowling, a race, tennis, horseshoes, hitting a baseball pitch, catching a football…anything!!!!

John Cena's message to the fans, Foley praises Cena

2011-08-16T22:46:00.003-04:00

John Cena tweeted the following last night after RAW: “CeNation. Amazing to see in times of crisis, and change, who your freinds are. Thanks to all of u who never give up…. And for those that wish for our demise, now is when we rise above the hate, and overcome. Can’t wait to get my hands on Del Rio. Yawn ..stop looking at this bizz in black and white. I am not a “heel” or a “face”, I am me. I find it comical that u truly believe. That archaic ideology still exists. Today, wwe fans cheer for who they please, which is why I love this company. I should mail u a pair of my shorts, because your stuck in 1993. I thought I made it pretty clear at contract signing where I stood. I guess there’s a lot of folks out there whose capacity is as limited as “my offense”. :) I back those who back me. And those who back me, get ready for one Helluva few months! Rise Above Hate. This “soap box moment ” was brought to you by Fruity Pebbles. :) Thanks again to ALL those who never give up.”

Mick Foley tweeted the following last night regarding John Cena:

“I really enjoyed the angry, serious tone of @johncena . Might be about time more fans started recognizing his legacy of amazing matches.

Sorry to disagree with so many of you, but go through your archives and look at how many good/great/amazing matches @johncena has had on PPV

You may not like the character, but @JohnCena is a workhorse, and hasn’t been in a bad PPV (that I’ve seen) in a long time. He CAN wrestle!

Come on, someone find me a bad @johncena PPV. He’s been a part of classic stuff with regularity for years. It’s NOT just the opponents guys.

Look, I was clearly more of an @WWE fan even when I was with TNA. I just call them like I see them…and I see Cena favorably.

I really appreciate all the feedback from everyone. I’ll grant you that his last Mania wasn’t great, but his match with @therock will be.

Good conversation, everyone. Remember when @johncena wrestled 10 minutes with Orton AFTER tearing his pec off the bone? THAT is HEART!”

Major Backstage Update On Kevin Nash & WWE

2011-08-16T22:41:00.000-04:00

For those of you looking for answers to the Nash/Punk/HHH/Steph/etc. storyline, you clearly didn’t get them on last night’s edition of RAW. Close sources are saying that it was very chaotic backstage at RAW last night and decisions weren’t made until last minute.

One source said that the CM Punk/Kevin Nash promo was very unscripted. “Those two were working without a net out there,” the source said, “and the jabs they took at each other were not planned beforehand.”

The lack of resolve in the “Who texted Kevin Nash?” story is because WWE still hasn’t solidified the direction they’re going to take yet. “They have five ways they can go with this thing,” said a WWE writer, “and it’s still unclear which one they’re going to choose.” WWE never intended on Del Rio to be the one who “hired” Kevin Nash. The obvious options now are Triple H, Stephanie, Johnny Ace and Vince, but WWE has proven that they don’t always go with the clear choice with things like this, so no one will ever know for sure until it’s finally in the books.

There’s still no word on Kevin Nash’s contract situation and whether he’s agreed to (or even been offered) a new deal now that he’s back on television. Kevin Nash is currently signed to a “Legends” contract. I would imagine something new will be worked out very soon as last night’s RAW was a very good indication that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. I’ve received a few emails about

Nash being booked on some future independent shows and while he may or may not pull out of those, there have not been reports of him doing so yet.

Kevin Nash Teases RAW Appearance – Details

2011-08-15T21:03:00.000-04:00

Kevin Nash teased on Twitter that he will be appearing on tonight’s episode of Raw.

He wrote, “Rumor has it a tall, dark haired dude is going to be on Raw tonight. You better watch. He has a tendency to disappear for months.”

Nash appeared last night at SummerSlam to assault CM Punk following his WWE Championship victory over John Cena. Following the attack, Alberto Del Rio cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeated Punk for the belt. Freedom Pro Wrestling announced two days earlier that Nash had suffered a neck injury and would miss their Saturday event. He was replaced by “Diamond” Dallas Page.

What happened after SummerSlam?

2011-08-15T12:56:00.000-04:00

Ricardo Rodriguez came out on the stage after the WWE SummerSlam PPV and told everyone to get up and cheer for the new champion – Alberto Del Rio.

Alberto then left the ring and CM Punk got up to standing ovation. As he walked up the ramp, Punk’s music hit.

SS legitimately sold out?, Jim Ross not calling SummerSlam

2011-08-15T12:53:00.000-04:00

– The WWE announcing change was a last-minute decision. It was originally set to be Ross/Cole/Lawler.

– The WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California was legitimately sold out. Talent weren’t able to get comps for their friends and family for the event.

It was noted on Sunday that Jim Ross tweeted he would be calling WWE SummerSlam alongside Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. Ross obviously didn’t call the pay-per-view but was backstage at the event. Ross tweeted the following regarding the SummerSlam snub:

“I’m at Summer Slam on Twitter duty & not broadcasting. Booker’s working w/ Cole & king.

I am at SUMMER SLAM but backstage and not at ringside. Booker adds Smackdown representation not that Cole wouldn’t have. I’m twitter man.

I’m tweeting tonite..not broadcasting. Just happy to be here. :)

Game time decision to use Booker to rep Smackdown on tonite’s Summer Slam & to work with King & Cole. I’m happy for Booker.”
Ross had earlier tweeted: “Excited to work w/ Cole & King. Expect some surprise bouts to be added to tonite’s PPV.”

JR is obviously taking the high road here as he was originally set to call the event.

Lots of SS news: Who did Kelly Kelly kiss?, Sheamus/Henry, Del Rio's bodyguard

2011-08-15T12:47:00.000-04:00

– The man that Kelly Kelly kissed at ringside last night during SummerSlam was NHL player Sheldon Souray, who plays for the Dallas Stars. Kelly noted on Twitter that Souray was in town with her mother and word is that the two are now dating. Kelly previously dated WWE star Justin Gabriel.

– Local independent wrestlers from the Pro Wrestling Guerilla promotion were sitting at ringside last night during the spot where Mark Henry and Sheamus crashed through the barrier and into the crowd. WWE used the wrestlers there as extras to prevent fans from getting hurt.

- Alberto Del Rio is the new WWE Champion after defeating the former Champion, CM Punk, at tonight’s SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Moments after Punk won the WWE Title match against John Cena, Kevin Nash returned to WWE and laid Punk out. This brought out Del Rio, who cashed in Money in the Bank to become the new WWE Champion.

A new bodyguard for Del Rio was discussed as far back as two months ago and it looks as if they have filled that role with Kevin Nash.

Punk’s win over John Cena also came in controversial fashion as Cena’s foot was on the ropes and special referee Triple H didn’t see it.

Heath Slater accused of assaulting female guard

2011-08-12T12:50:00.001-04:00

Atlanta police is currently investigating the allegations that SmackDown! star Heath Slater assaulted a female security guard at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta during WrestleMania weekend.

Security officer Corinne Oliver claimed in her report that Slater thought she was pretty and then grabbed her in a chokehold while trying to get her back to his hotel room. She had fought to get loose and identified Slater later.

A source within the wrestling world claims that according to Slater, the allegations are untrue and he was with his fiancé the whole week.

More details have come out due to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about the assault charges against Heath Slater.

The article notes that Corinne Oliver, the security guard who says Slater attacked her, claims that she has been experiencing back pains since the incident supposedly happened early Monday morning after WrestleMania. The article notes that Oliver didn’t report the attack until June 22nd because her employer said they would handle it and didn’t.

WWE’s new Creative Team member revealed

2011-08-10T17:32:00.000-04:00

Kevin Eck, who writes a pro wrestling blog for The Baltimore Sun, has announced that he is leaving the newspaper organization to become a member of the WWE creative team.

“I can’t stress enough how few jobs there are that could get me to entertain the thought of leaving The Sun for even a second. In fact, this opportunity with WWE may be the only one,” Eck wrote.

“I think this is an exciting time to be joining WWE, which is currently in the process of altering its creative approach. I’ve accepted a position that will allow me to contribute from a creative standpoint and also use my skills as a journalist.”

Edge to appear at SummerSlam? - Talks retirement, more

2011-08-10T17:20:00.000-04:00

Edge stated in a new interview promoting his four-episode guest-spot on the Syfy series Haven that he would be appearing at SummerSlam. The former World Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to appear at Summerslam Axxess this weekend, but did not specify whether he would be appearing on the pay-per-view broadcast.

“I basically started shooting Haven directly from Extreme Rules when Christian won the title. So it basically took up the entire summer. I have an appearance at Summerslam and after that it’s some serious outdoor time. Kayaking, mountain biking, stand up paddle boarding, dog hiking, and whatever else I can find before winter hits,” Edge told TVDoneWright.com.

When asked if he intends to return to WWE, even in a non-wrestling capacity, he replied, “I’m sure I’ll make appearances from time to time like (Shawn Michaels) does. I’m not interested in commentating, but maybe at some point something behind the scenes if it didn’t involve the crazy travel. My days of over 200 days a year on the road are over.”

The Rated-R Superstar also says has some WWE appearances scheduled in Paris, France to promote a movie he shot last year for WWE Films, Bending the Rules (to be released in January 2012). He adds, “Beyond that I think it’s time to find out what retirement is really like and catch the Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam on their current tours.”

2011-08-10T10:23:00.002-04:00

Beth Phoenix was apparently scripted to take a shot at recently released WWE Diva Melina during her promo this week on RAW in which she said she was sick of the Divas division being made a mockery of. “No more booty popping, no more splits, no more stink faces,” Beth said following her victory over Eve.

Melina wrote on Twitter, “PS- Any Diva can try 2 do a split from here on out but what the WWE confirmed is that the SPLITS will always remind the world of me. Thank u.”

She continued, “I love the statement peeps! I bet the powers that be were waiting all night 2 hear that line go on air. Hee hee. I find it very flattering!”

Gail Kim to remain under contract to WWE

2011-08-10T10:21:00.002-04:00

Gail Kim, who announced last Friday on Twitter that she quit WWE four days earlier, revealed tonight on the microblogging website that they are keeping her under contract until it expires to prevent her from competing elsewhere.

And apparently after a total of 5 yrs of working for a co. where I was not utilized or appreciated,I’m now 4 some reason,valuable enough 2 keep me under the remainder of my contract so I can’t work elsewhere. Controlling? Thoughts?”

Kim was then asked how much longer she will be affiliated with WWE, to which she replied, “Not much longer.”

Edge reveals when he would have retired

2011-08-10T10:18:00.000-04:00

Former WWE Superstar Edge appeared on Right After Wrestling with Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

If he didn’t receive the news, how long he felt he would have competed before he retired: “I pretty much assumed that WrestleMania in Miami (WM 28) would be my last because my contract runs out around then. I just thought I would get to there and have my final match there and then retire. The best laid plans never work out the way they should. And they didn’t and that’s okay. I knew it was coming to an end but I didn’t know exactly when that end would be. All this did was speed up the process by exactly 1 year. I already knew I was ready to retire. My body was telling me it was time. All the pain I was in and mentally, the grind, was just getting me down.”

The unique way Tony Chimel announces him to the ring: “I loved the way Chimel announced me to the ring. He would announce me and Cena to the ring for like 250 nights and he would go out of his way for Cena and then simply announce ‘and here’s the Rated R Superstar Edge.’ So I was like come on Chimel, at least make an effort for me as well. So he started to elongate the ‘Super’ in ‘Rated R Superstar’ and it just became a huge joke in the back and everybody would say it along as he would in the ring. I don’t even think Kevin Dunn noticed, it just kinda flew under the radar.”

When does Edge want to enter the WWE Hall of Fame?: “I would love to be inducted into the WWE HOF but I never put any thought into when. I never said ‘I wanna be inducted in the next year’. I wouldn’t be offended if it was in a few years from now. If it was the same year that WrestleMania returns to Toronto, that would be awesome but I never really put any thought into when exactly I wanted to get inducted.”
