– John Cena was involved in a car accident in Philadelphia on Monday (pictures). While initial reports were that Cena was fine, the @WWEInsider Twitter account says there are rumors surrounding Cena’s condition. The WWE Insider account tweeted on Monday afternoon:

“Rumors surround @JohnCena following his car accident today. He says he’s fine, others say he was holding his neck when he arrived at #Raw.

While the condition of John Cena’s neck is unknown at this time, the WWE website stated that Cena will be checked out by WWE doctors this afternoon at the arena where tonight’s RAW taking place.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another bog update, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. In this entry, JR responded to questions sent in by his followers on Twitter. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

Has Rock spoken to you about calling his WM28 bout with John Cena?

“@TheRock doesn’t make those calls but the answer is no. I haven’t spoken directly to Rock in a good while as he has his hands full preparing for @JohnCena and managing a movie career.”

Did Undertaker request that you call the HIAC match at WM28?

“I have no idea if that’s remotely true as it came to my attention via the internet. I’ve spoken to no one about that matter. Likely just another rumor.”

Can you see Jericho winning the WWE Title at WM28?

“Of course, but it won’t be easy. Love the chances that this match steals the wrestling spotlight on the April 1 PPV. It’s too close to call for me.”

Is Jericho too personal with his attack on Punk re: alcoholism?

“It’s show biz folks. Personal issues draw money and interest in the genre. It always has and always will. Alcoholism is a serious illness. It’s affected many of us but don’t confuse real life issues with a sports entertainment storyline. Enjoy it or turn the channel.”

Who would you like to see in Taker’s last match?

“Depends on when it will be and who’s hot. I don’t see that happening for a while but a Cena vs. Undertaker bout down the road is likely.”

John Cena was involved in a car wreck this morning in Philadelphia, and we’ve got another update on the situation, courtesy of TMZ.com.

John Cena’s SUV was leaving a media appearance when he was hit from behind by a small Honda Civic – which was also hit from behind by a massive truck.

As previously reported, Cena did not appear to be seriously injured, although the effects of whiplash can take days to appear. Cena was not taken to the hospital, but plans to get checked out by doctors as soon as he arrives at the arena for tonight’s RAW Supershow.

Check out these pictures from the accident:

Also booked for the show is an 8-man Street Fight featuring WWE Champion CM Punk, Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show vs. World Heavyweight champion Daniel Bryan, Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes, Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler.

– WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart made another appearance at an improv comedy show in Toronto, Canada on Friday. During a recent interview with Torontoist.com, Hart explained why he enjoys live comedy:

“I always thought I had a decent sense of humor. You get a lot of people saying my book was kind of sad, and you can’t change how your life goes, but I thought there was some great humor in there that no one else could deliver unless you lived my life. Broken down in the middle of the highway, you’d always find something to laugh at.”

– With tonight’s WWE RAW taking place from Philadelphia, The Rock stopped in to the training facility of the NFL’s Eagles for a workout. Eagles star Evan Mathis posted the following picture of himself and The Rock on Facebook:

– After Sunday’s TNA Victory Road pay-per-view went off the air, the crowd chanted “Fire Bobby” as Bobby Roode continued to stand over Dixie Carter and Sting. Agents D-Lo Brown, Al Snow and Pat Kenney finally came down to help Dixie.

– Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke was at ringside for Victory Road and got involved during the TV title match between Robbie E. and Devon. At one point in the match, Robbie E. had a steel chair in his hands, but Brooke took it away from him.

– TNA was pushing Twitter at Victory Road more than usual, with Gail Kim and Devon trending worldwide during the show.

– Kurt Angle recently spoke to GoErie.com that about his chances of making it to the Olympics, which he admits are “slim to none.” Angle, who is currently nursing a rib injury, had this to say about his health:

“I’ve beaten myself up a lot. When I came back and started working out for the Olympics this time, I kept getting hurt. I popped a patellar tendon, then I popped an Achilles, then I blew out my hamstring. I went to my doctor and said, ‘What’s going on? I’m a machine, I don’t get hurt.’

He said you’re over 40, things are gonna happen to you unless you train. So I spent four months training just to get ready to get back on the mat.”

The Motor City Machine Guns are coming home .. TNA ran the following promo video at Sunday’s Victory Road pay-per-view hyping the return of Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin:

Here’s video of this week’s entire SmackDown show:

TNA star Matt Morgan spoke to IGN.com this week to promote tonight’s Victory Road 2012 pay-per-view. Among the topics discussed were his tag title match at the show, his involvement with TNA’s Ring Ka King promotion and the changes to WWE’s creative process since he left the company back in 2005.

Morgan, who was saddled with a stuttering gimmick during his brief WWE run, had this to say about what’s changed in WWE since he left:

“I’ve got a lot of close friends who still work there who I regularly talk to on a weekly basis that tell me that it has changed over there,” Morgan said. “That some of these guys, the younger ones, are getting a little more creative freedom when it comes to promos or character ideas. Or things of that nature. So it’s not like it was when I was there when there was just like a freakin’ Great Wall of China of defense when trying to pitch an idea. Now they’re a little bit less reluctant and a little bit more open to hearing some of the ideas from the younger, newer guys. And I think you’re seeing that on television with certain guys.”

Morgan singled out former WWE champion The Miz as somebody who has made the most of the this new found freedom:

“I think someone like The Miz, who you saw bust his butt over the years, I have no doubt of my mind that that guy put a hundred percent of his energy and mind into those promos and ideas of his. And character development and things like that. And I think that’s what’s made him so successful over the past year.”

John Cena posted a bunch of videos of him training for WrestleMania 28 and fired off some non-PG tweets at The Rock.:

“As smart as @therock may be… He dont know squat!  500lbs for 5 #WM28”

Making sure im clean for @therock at #WM28 315 pound clean at end of day

This is why @therock thinks i got #ladyparts cause he heard i had a strong #snatch 225lb #WM28

Cena then turned his attention to The Rock’s comments on RAW that he got .. “intimate” with Cena’s mom:

“This is best moment of my day.  All of @therock material. #cenation #fruitypebbles #cenasmom love u moms”

“Oh and @therock my mom is sweet but tough and says if yer starving for #sex that bad.. Then go f#ck yourself :) #WM28 #mymomwouldwhipya”

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. In this entry, JR spoke about his visit to WWE developmental this week, WWE’s top feuds continuing to simmer as the Road To WrestleMania continues and much more. Here are some highlights of what JR wrote about:

FCW Talent Getting Called Up After WrestleMania: “I’d expect that WWE will ‘call up’ several deserving talents sometime after WM28 and it will be interesting to see how these talents are introduced to the mass, TV audience and how said talents respond to their new found opportunities and the pressure that they will discover at the next level.”

“Several talents are fundamentally ready for the chance of a lifetime but none are as good as they should aspire to be. Comfort zones are the kiss of death and striving each day to get better at what ever one does is not optional but a requirement in my perspective. Those that approach their professions in such a manner greatly enhance their chances of success. Only time will tell but I’m optimistic that WWE fans will embrace several new, FCW trained talents in the coming months.”

The Rock & John Cena’s Feud: “As a result of @TheRock personal barrage on @JohnCena, Cena has become much more edgy which I have enjoyed. Both Cena and Rock are from the competitive and physical world of college football and I think those deep roots will manifest itself into a physically demanding main event at WM28. I hope that WWE saves all the physical interaction between the two stars until April 1 and, to my way of thinking, I can’t see why WWE would risk putting either man at a physical risk prior to what is expected to be the highest grossing WrestleMania event of all time. Just one man’s take.”

Chris Jericho & CM Punk’s Feud: “@IAmJericho personal assault on @CMPunk using the father of Punk as ammo has upset many fans. Certainly those who have had alcoholism touch their lives are sensitive that this delicate matter is being utilized on an entertainment show but one can’t argue that the matter isn’t reality based or that it isn’t combustible. I said long ago that Punk vs. Jericho for the coveted WWE Title is a potential show stealer as far as a traditional wrestling match is concerned at WM28 and by adding the latest, personal ingredient to the equation this bout becomes even more eagerly anticipated. I expect greatness in this bout considering the two performers and hope that they let it naturally flow and don’t overcomplicate the process.”

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart spoke with Arda Ocal of The Score this week. Here are some highlights of what Bret said about:

His speech he gave when he was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2006. Why did he dislike his speech so much, what does he think he could have done to make the speech better: “I hated it. I wasn’t out of my shell yet as far as public speaking. I was really nervous to get up and address all the things that happened with my brother Owen, me and Vince McMahon, so many things I had to talk about for the first time in front of a large crowd. I wished that I could have gone up and did it and done it over again like a second try. I just kinda rambled. I wish I could do it over again”

His appearance at Wrestlemania 2 in 1986 where he participated in the 20 Man Over The Rope Battle Royal, this marked the first time he appeared at a Wrestlemania. What was the atmosphere like at Wrestlemania 2, also speaking about Andre The Giant’s dislike of the NFL Football Players that participated in the match as well: “It was interesting. They always had something different then each one. The 3 cities, and the wrestlers watching the Pay Per View, I was in Chicago. What I always remember most was Andre and the battle royal. He (Andre The Giant ) really hated the football players. He didn’t like any of them. He kinda made a point of being more friendlier with guys like me and Jim “The Anvil”. He was always doing what he could to make us look good, which worked out of us”

The one and only guy he seriously injured in pro wrestling and how it happened: “At Survivor Series 1995, I took out the Spanish announcer (as he fell into their table), I blew [one of the Spanish announcer’s] knee out with my head. They should have took him away in a ambulance, he was all messed up, in great pain. I feel terrible about it. I hurt that poor Spanish commentator. I always felt really bad about it he was a really nice guy. I think I really messed his knee up.”

– During a recent appearance on The Wedge music show in Canada, CM Punk revealed that the band Rancid would be providing some music for his upcoming WWE DVD. Punk has stated in the past that he wants his video to be different from other WWE releases, and that he wanted good music on it.

“I got something Zacktastic planned for my Broskis in Philadelphia this Monday! I’ll keep you posted…

– Chris Jericho recently tweeted that WWE won’t be releasing a new t-shirt for him. Knowing Jericho’s affinity for working fans online, that probably means WWE has a whole line of Jericho shirts coming out.
