News Week: More Shane Douglas, Mick on Mania, Todd Pentengail resigning?

[StatUS]

This is what I've been saying.

Mistico/Sin Cara is a good wrestler, his years in CMLL are proof of that, but he obviously had trouble adapting to working like an American wrestler.

Hope so, dude did not live up to expectations in anyway last year.

Eric Bischoff has finally responded to Scott Steiner's numerous messages on Twitter over the past month blasting him and TNA Wrestling.

After "Big Poppa Pump" wrote Thursday afternoon on the social networking website, "At Shoney's to Go Grand Opening in Buford....awesome food," the TNA Wrestling executive responded, "50+ year old man pitching greasy fried chicken in Buford and wrestling indys in front of 250 fans...bitter?"

Bischoff feels it's ironic that Steiner complains about young talent not rising in TNA Wrestling while simultaneously ripping his 28-year-old wrestler son Garrett: "Its hard for some guys to move over and let the younger talent rise. Irony? One of Scotts bytches in his 20's and 30's."

Bischoff then retweeted comments on his timeline with an anti-Steiner stance, many of which accuse him of drug abuse.

"@ScottSteiner @HulkHogan @EBischoff Steiner's bitter. He'd be there tomorrow if he were called upon. His matches were slow and boring anyway."

"@ScottSteiner U must have a sad fukkin life if all u do is waffle on about @HulkHogan and @EBischoff all day on this #steroidjunkie."

"@ScottSteiner You're tweets make as much sense as your promos did... In other words, you're a babbling, old, drug abusing fool @EBischoff."

"@ScottSteiner Get a life you complete tit, Spending all day going on about @EBischoff and @HulkHogan get some respect."

"@EBischoff Scott Steiner sounds like a disgruntled ex girlfriend!"

"@EBischoff don't listen to the dabbling jealous wreck that is @scottsteiner, WWE needs to offer him the ex-employees the wellness rehab."

"@EBischoff it would appear that Scott steiner has his head in his ass, as well as a needle."

A Twitter user also wrote, "@EBischoff I bet if Hulk sold used toilet paper, it would triple the sales of @ScottSteiner merchandise. Bischoff responded, "Thats being generous. Be kind to Scott. His AARP card is active and it's an adjustment for him."

Bischoff also took aim at Shane Douglas, who has accused the TNA Wrestling executive off of "killing pro wrestling" in multiple interviews: "It takes a while...but eventually they get it. Shane is a loud mouth never-been, never will be, bitter old man trying to relive."

-- After tying a 52-week low on Wednesday with $7.77 per share, WWE's stock price saw a significant gain Thursday with the release of the organization's 2012 First Quarter 2012 Earnings Results. The stock price increased to $8.81 per share, up $0.97 from Thursday's closing price of $7.84 per share.

There were reportedly several top members of WWE management that were concerned about how much John Cena bled at Extreme Rules. Cena was busted open 'the hard way' in the opening minutes of the match after a brutal elbow to the head from Brock Lesnar that almost ended the match.

Michael Cole's heel announcer gimmick was supposed to officially end at WrestleMania 28. His new role is to be an "edgy" character who still respects John Laurinaitis, one of WWE's top heels. A recent sign of Cole retreating from being an annoying heel and shifting to a more neutral role was that he was sympathetic towards John Cena during his feud with Brock Lesnar.

How's that? Even before he toned down his heel gimmick this year, he always acted sympathetically towards main event babyfaces, especially Cena.

- WWE CEO Vince McMahon has been furious with the staff of WWE.com and there's a good chance WWE's upcoming releases will include several members of the website staff.

Aside from soft website traffic, Vince could not believe that nobody from the WWE.com staff was at the WrestleMania 29 press conference several weeks ago when Vince met with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

- For those wondering whether John Laurinaitis is actually going to wrestle John Cena at Over the Limit - it's not just a 'bait and switch' angle. Laurinaitis was an active wrestler in Japan until 2000 and began training this week at one of WWE's warehouses in Connecticut where they keep several rings set up.

- Jim Ross has been working with THQ in recent months recording commentary for the upcoming WWE '13 game, due out this fall. Ross was asked this week whether he's replacing Michael Cole on commentary in the game - and he stated no, this game will have more than two announcers.

Everytime hogan talks to the media without a script he sounds like a F’n idiot

Now hogan is sayin hes going to give more power to the fans get them more involved

Make them more important,BUT,thats all he can speak on it right now,fukk

R U kidding me no other business in the world would allow 2 a$$holes to come into a company

Drive it to the lowest ratings EVER continue the low ratings for 2 1/2 cut down most employees

In the media,and still have a job,what is Tna n Spike Tv officials thinking

First off hogan there is nobody more important than the fans,without fans

There is no wrestling,dumbass,and second theres this new invention calld the nielson ratings system

And the fans are choosing not to be involved in the bullshyt that you n bytchoff brought to Tna

And are using their power to change the channel

This new brand,concept will be a fraud just like changing it to impact wrestling where”wrestling matter”

Which was a crock of shyt bcuz nothing changed,this is nothing but smoke

But they are not wrestlings target audience,wrestlings demographics are basically the same as nascar fans

Wrestler portraying the same on Tv,now i have NOTHING against gay ppl “to each his own”

Hogan brought in Orlando Jordan n introduced the wrestling audience to the first openly gay

Plus we were filming at universal where the fans were familys with kids from the park,at first

They did segments with Orlando in front of the live crowd n some familys were appaud n left

Bcuz his first stuff was him lusting over another wrestling which was bullshyt,so then they starting doing

His segments backstage,so the live crowd wouldnt see them,so im talking with Sting in the impact

Zone one day,and we are both saying WTF is going on around here and he said he was going to

Say something and that he cant watch the show anymore,so i start asking questions and find out that

In the production meetings hogan thinks he could be the world champion,which i didnt understand

Why at the time,then later his ex-wife comes out n said he was gay,Hogan i know u think u have a

Strong brand name,but when yur ex-wife says yur gay You were Branded .:…..brother

Every PPv sunday tna would have chapel and sting was pissed at the hypocrisy of it all

But thats what hogan wanted,of course his business partner and lap dog was backing him

Sayin controversy creates cash ….bullshyt ..

U motherfukkers need to get a grip

A rumor surfaced days ago on Twitter that Dustin "Goldust" Runnels, who has been working behind the scenes for WWE, has been released from his contract with the sports entertainment organization. He also began promoting a new Twitter account last week, @DRHODES_SAYS. Adding further suspicion to his status with the company, WWE.com transferred his profile from the Raw Superstars section to the Alumni section on Friday. The organization has not issued an announcement concerning Runnels being released.

As reported earlier, Eric Bischoff finally responded to Scott Steiner's numerous scathing remarks on Twitter on Thursday. After "Big Poppa Pump" wrote on the social networking website, "At Shoney's to Go Grand Opening in Buford....awesome food," the TNA Wrestling executive responded, "50+ year old man pitching greasy fried chicken in Buford and wrestling indys in front of 250 fans...bitter?" Bischoff then retweeted comments on his timeline with an anti-Steiner stance, many of which accuse him of drug abuse. In response, Steiner issued a warning to Bischoff as well as Hulk Hogan, and also disclosed the meaning of "609." Steiner wrote:

There you are u little bytch,bn tweeting for 4 wks now n u decide to respond when i tweeted

About being at a Shoneys To Go Grand Opening....Really....Im playing poker with you and ive

already told you what my hand is and the significance of 609,and the shoneys tweet

Brought u out of yur hole,first off if you want to call anybody a drug abuser look no further than yur son

609Garrett was a 140 lb non-athletic p*ssy in high school,but as everybody can see he can take

Everything under the sun but it hasnt improved his athletic ability,the apple doesnt fall far from the tree

Let me educate u on Shoneys,first off this wasnt a paid appearance,i was there on behalf of my friend

Of 18 yrs who purchased the Shoneys Brand 6 yrs ago for around $300 million,and its no

Longer a greasy fast food joint as u suggest,you would have known this if u ever went to the Tna offices

Bcuz Shoneys corporate offices are also in Nashville,but as you like to brag your too high class and make

Too much money to eat at a place like that,well the # 609 suggests you aint high class at all

So for everybody that has bn tweeting me back asking what is the significance of 609 and why

Chant 609 when either bytchoff enters the ring,is bcuz 609 is part of a larger # that eric owns n now

Garrett is going to have to live with,

The full sequence is 1:19-CR-609 and its represents bytchoffs docket # when he testified under oath

In Atlanta's Gold Club trial

More later on his exact testimony which is very revealing and humurous bcuz it shows what a

Weasle he is,which i will also post on my website,

bytchoff u need to worry about the crowds that Tna is drawing since u 3 a$$holes have taken control

2,500 ppl were at the last ppv in nashville,the home base of Tna and alot of those were freebee's,

bytchoff cant deny anything that i tweeted about bcuz its all true,so hes trying to change the focus

Saying im to old slow & boring..really check out the Ring ka King footage

That i didnt want to move over for the younger guys,all i did was try to elevate guys and pass the torch

Ask any wrestler better yet look at the tape,im not a mark like hogan and have to have creative control

Bcuz ppl dont care who wins or loses,they want to be entertained,hogan living in his fantansy world

Actually believes hes winning

Trust me bytchoff ,u and hogan are about to find out im the last guy you should have fukkd with

Your going to find out that payback is a bytch,both mentally n physically right now im FF'n with

Your mind,and i will see u both again,and you will see how ruthless i can be,believe that

these old babbling weirdos

Selling Monday's injury, Chief Operating Officer of WWE Triple H could be seen wearing a small sling over his broken left arm as he accompanied undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to the ring for his highly anticipated bout against Miguel Cotto on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nevada. Believing that Triple H decided to appear uninjured at the event, former WWE Superstar Carlito commented via Twitter: "I just saw triple h in mayweathers corner! Apparently his arm has already healed. Thank the lord for miracles!"

He added further, "Correction, triple h was wearing a sling...and not many people know that a sling works a lot better than a cast for a broken arm! Right?"

A broken arm wasn't enough to keep WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H down, who accompanied boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to the ring for his highly anticipated bout against Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas on Saturday night, alongside singer Justin Bieber and rapper 50 Cent. Former WWE Diva Melina, who was posting messages on Twitter while watching the fight, remarked the following upon seeing "The King of Kings" on television:

"Maybe it's the margaritas but I puked when i saw Bieber & Triple H. #TotalPukage #WhatTheWhat HHH=Pukepukepuke. Boxing at an an all time low."

Throughout his career, CM Punk has consistently used the gimmick of being "Straight Edge," a lifestyle he repeatedly claims to follow in his actual day-to-day life. In the latest issue of Power Slam, magazine editor Findlay Martin responds to a reader's query as to whether Punk's "Straight Edge" gimmick is just that, a "fictitious" gimmick.

"That's a vicious rumour, as far as we know," Martin responds. "We have spoken to many people over the last eight years who have been to bars and nightclubs with Punk and/or traveled with him in Europe and the U.S. and Canada, and all report that Punk has invariably abstained from alcohol, illegal drugs and tobacco."

Martin, however, says that some wrestlers who worked with Punk during his path to the WWE main roster years ago found his drug-free proclamation to be phony. And upon reaching the main roster, he was shunned for living an alternative lifestyle.

"Since most wrestlers habitually use alcohol and/or drugs and are instinctively distrustful of fellow wrestlers, the assumption among most who did not know Punk when he was working on the independent circuit and treading water in WWE's developmental system was that his teetotaler/drug-free claims were bogus," Martin says. "When he reached WWE television and his fame and word spread that his 'Straight Edge" gimmick was genuine, Punk was ridiculed and even ostracized by some wrestlers for choosing an alternative lifestyle to theirs."

these weak minded carnies

- Jim Ross was rattled by a Twitter follower writing "stick to wrestling old man" after he posted multiple messages on the Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Miguel Cotto boxing match Saturday night: "How about a little respect? Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders or are you a keyboard punk?"

- In this week's Are You Serious? webisode, Road Dogg and Josh Mathews explain how WCW "ruined everything." Their proclamation includes ninjas (Glacier), classical music (The Maestro), sharks (John Tenta portraying a shark character) and even titles (David Arquette winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship). Also mocked is a WCW vignette featuring Raven as a spoiled rich kid with hardcore wrestling icon The Sandman appearing as his preppy neighbor Jim at his childhood home's pool.

How did you guys watch this?

In my three years with Total Nonstop Action, I think exactly one person said, 'Hey, you're that guy from TNA.' I'm a WWE guy. I went away from home for a while. There was no question. I was never one of those guys who said I'm never going back. I enjoyed my time away, but it's still home."

The Hardcore Legend was also asked about Brock Lesnar returning to WWE and his Extreme Rules match against John Cena.

"Oh, God," Foley said. "I've watched a lot of pay-per-view and it had a room full of people who have watched a lot of pay-per-views reacting in a way that was completely different than anything I've seen before. It was really shocking. It was very dramatic.

"Honestly, I wish they would have stopped it. I think John Cena was hurt bad enough that they should have stopped it. I think it would have been an ending unlike anything I've ever seen in WWE - an early stoppage of a match due to injury."

Foley said he was backstage at WrestleMania XXVIII and thought Undertaker vs. Triple H was the best match of the evening. He also noted received a standing ovation from wrestlers in the backstage area after his Mr. Socko and Cobra segment with Santino Marella at the Royal Rumble. Other topics broached include his comedy tour and WWE promoting his book unexpectedly.
