Road Warrior Animal may be close to signing with TNA.

 

Road Warrior Animal (real name Joe Laurinaitis) has been in talks with TNA about joining the company in the creative department. He’s wrestled for TNA in the past as a mystery partner for Rick Steiner. If he signs on with TNA as a writer, there’s always the chance that TNA could use him a few times on screen because of his connections to several of the current characters.

 

It’s a bit interesting that Road Warrior Animal would go to TNA instead of WWE since his brother, John Laurinaitis, works backstage for WWE.

 

 

 

 

WWE has been talking about a Wrestlemania match between Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair.

 

A few weeks ago, there were talks about having Shawn Michaels and Triple H wrestle one another at the big event, but then those plans changed to include Batista and Randy Orton.

 

That left Shawn Michaels as the odd man out.

 

Management still is not sure who to put Ric Flair against, but it will have to be a high profile match. A match against Shawn Michaels with his career on the line would be a high profile match.

 

If it was up to Ric Flair, he’d probably want his match to be against Triple H, but WWE needs him to be in the Raw main event for Wrestlemania.

 

 

 

 

Dusty Rhodes is the reason why Boogeyman has not appeared on ECW in quite a while.

 

The Boogeyman has not been seen on WWE TV since he was involved in that segment with Degeneration X a while back on Monday Night Raw. The reason for this is because the writers have a difference of opinions on how to utilize the talent on the shows.

 

Brian Gerwitz and Ed Koskey, both of whom are writers for Monday Night Raw, like utilizing the Boogeyman because they enjoy writing comedic skits for him.The comedic skits are basically just funny to the younger fans in the audience. Dusty Rhodes, however, prefers to have fewer skits and promos on ECW. As the head writer for ECW, he’s pushing for more in-ring action.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if the Boogeyman was moved over to the Raw brand when the next WWE Draft Lottery takes place.

 

 

 

 

Former WWE diva and Women's Champion, Trish Stratus, was featured on an episode of MTV Cribs.

 

For those of you that don’t know, MTV Cribs is the show where people get a tour of celebrity homes. Trish Stratus showed off her home, which has 8 separate bathrooms and rooms displaying her wrestling memorabilia.

 

Trish Stratus is currently preparing for the Island Triathlon Series that will take place in March of 2008.

Ric Flair hasn’t actually signed his new WWE contract just yet.

 

Apparently, Ric Flair and WWE have come to an agreement on a new contract. However, the contract itself hasn’t been officially signed by Ric Flair just yet.

 

No word yet on what the hold up is. There’s a chance that there might be some last minute changes that need to be done with the contract. That, or Ric Flair and WWE simply haven’t had the time to finalized the deal just yet.

 

Ric Flair’s current contract expires on January 8, 2008, which isn’t that far away.

 

 

 

 

MVP & Rey Mysterio have been pushing management to sign Norman Smiley.

 

Norman Smiley worked a tryout match with WWE not too long ago. He received quite a good reaction from the audience.

 

During his tenure with WCW, Norman Smiley had a bit of a cult following because of his in-ring antics. His trademark dance constantly was able to generate a reaction from the audience.

 

Rey Mysterio has known Norman Smiley from their days working together in Mexico. Norman Smiley was one of the people that helped to train MVP for his WWE debut.

EDGE vs. TAKER GIMMICK @ WM 24

 

- As posted the other day, there's talk of putting some kind of gimmick behind the Edge vs. The Undertaker match at WrestleMania 24 in March. There has also been talk of billing the match as a match between two Superstars who have never lost a singles match at a WrestleMania. The Undertaker of course has his 15-0 WrestleMania streak and since Edge's WrestleMania winning streak ended this past year in the Money in the Bank match, WWE could push the match by saying Edge has never been beaten on his own at a WrestleMania.

 

 

i like this angle... but who knows this still might change

RAW's NEW ODD COUPLE

 

Devin sent word that WWE.com has a new article up pushing RAW's latest odd couple, the team of Carlito and Santino Marella. The storyline article asks why would "Cantino" form their alliance and what does the future hold for them.

While in Iraq to tape the Tribute to the Troops special, a chopper carrying Dean Malenko, Mickie James, Carlito, Chris Jericho, JBL and Ron Simmons got damaged in a landing and all six were stranded for five hours in a war zone in Tarmiyah, Iraq. The six were stranded in an unsecure location in the middle of fires, smoke bombs, dead animals and razor wire everywhere

WM24 is still a long way.

 

A lot of things would still change.

Wretling news and rumors....

 

Former WWE and WCW star, Lex Luger is stil paralyzed and still in the hospital. He recently received a nice visit from Diamond Dallas Page.

 

 

There are reports that Jim Ross has lost considerable influence when it comes to which wrestlers & announcers gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

 

 

Batista was involved in another incident with a fan. This time, it happened at a house show in Albany, New York after a fan heckled him before his match.

 

At the house show in Albany, New York, a fan at ringside at apparently upset Batista enough to the point to make him leave the ring. Batista got into the fan’s face and repeated yelled at the fan to punch him. Security was able to break things up.

 

According to the fan, he was a big fan of Edge, who Batista was facing that night. He had cheered loudly for Edge during his entrance. The fan also give Edge the thumbs up sign. When Batista entered the ring, the fan started jeering him. When the fan gave the thumbs down to Batista, that’s when the incident started.

 

Granted, it’s hard to fault the wrestlers for letting stuff like this bother them. They’re on the road constantly and have to put up with a lot of crap from bad fans. As fans, we have absolutely no idea how difficult life on the road can be for wrestlers. However, incidents like these need to be handled a lot better.

 

The wrestlers today should be glad that wrestling audiences have toned down over the years.

 

During the 1980s, the fans were absolutely crazy. The Four Horsemen once took 30 minutes to leave ringside because of the rowdy fans that hated their characters. Another old school wrestler once had to leave the arena hidden inside of an ambulance because the fans were out to get him.

 

 

Torrie Wilson’s back injury has gotten worse.

 

“On the health front, my back problems don’t seem to be getting any better and I am actually starting to feel worse believe it or not!”

 

- Torrie Wilson

 

Torrie Wilson also states that she has never been injured like this before in her life She hates not being active, so she will seek a different type of treatment for he back.

 

WWE can afford to have her take time off right now because Smackdown has a solid group of divas. Michelle McCool has shown improvement over the last few weeks. Kelly Kelly has been utilized more often. Plus, Ashley Massaro is expected back soon.

 

 

 

There are reports going around that WWE diva Maria Kanellis has been scheduled to do a photo shoot for Playboy magazine soon.

 

 

John Cena’s rehabilitation has been going better than expected.

 

Stephanie McMahon and Raw head writer Brian Gerwitz are actually planning for his return to be at Wrestlemania. When he was first injured, the initial report was that John Cena would be returning sometime after Wrestlemania.

 

While it’s still unlikely that he’ll be able to work a match at Wrestlemania, he could still be used in a surprise sneak attack. That or WWE can utilize him as an advertised special appearance.

 

Once he makes a complete return, John Cena is expected to resume his feud with WWE Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton. Nothing is planned right now for a revenge feud against Mr Kennedy. Hopefully, WWE doesn’t just waste that storyline by doing a quick squash match on Monday Night Raw or something.
