– There has been talk of having The Rock show up at next week’s RAW Supershow on Halloween. That show will be hosted by The Muppets.
While Rock’s appearance next week is just rumored at this point – the next show that The Rock is confirmed to appear is the upcoming 3-hour RAW from Boston. Rock tweeted on Monday morning:
“Finally The Rock has come back to.. BOSTON! 11/14/11. “RAW Gets ROCKED”. #BootsToAssesInBeantown”
– As noted last week, WWE officials went back and forth on whether or not to hold the Mask vs. Mask match at last week’s SmackDown tapings in Mexico City. Even after the match was announced, WWE creative changed their mind about holding the match at least 3 separate times.
WWE announced the match hoping to spark ticket sales in Mexico, which were slower than expected. A “Mask vs. Mask” match is considered the ultimate culmination of a feud in Mexico – and many questioned whether they should jump to that conclusion so early into the Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara feud. The match was held, Black Sin Cara was unmasked, and most were disappointed by the rushed-nature of the event.
Prior to the WWE SmackDown tapings on October 11th, fans in Dallas, Texas were treated to a rare appearance from Shawn Michaels and a reunion of D-Generation X.
According to PWInsider.com, there’s a good chance we might see Shawn Michaels and DX return to WWE television in the coming weeks.
At Sunday’s Vegneance pay-per-view, Kevin Nash made a surprise return and brutally attacked Triple H. There was a lot of talk backstage at Vengeance that Michaels could return to television and get involved in the Nash-Triple H storyline.
For what it’s worth, WWE is planning to release several new pieces of DX merchandise soon.
A number of United States servicemen were in attendence at Sunday’s WWE Vengeance pay-per-view – visiting from the nearby Fort Hood military base.
John Cena debuted a new “Rise Above Hate” t-shirt and debuted a new pair of camouflage shorts, a departure from his signature “jorts” jean shorts ring gear.
The WWE website has a gallery of pictures from Vengeance, including pictures of his new “Rise Above Hate” t-shirt and camouflage shorts, which you can view here.
Cena announced on Twitter a few months ago that he is planning to change his often-mocked ring gear.
At this point, its unknown whether Cena’s camo shorts are a permanent change – or just a tribute to the Fort Hood soldiers who were in attendance.
Cena’ new “Rise Above Hate” t-shirt is available at the WWE Shop website. Also available are “Rise Above Hate” sweatbands, baseball caps and pendants.
Prior to Sunday’s WWE Vengeance pay-per-view event, former co-workers Michael Cole and Jim Ross threw a few verbal jabs back and forth on Twitter.
Michael Cole threw the first punch – tweeting the following about JR:
“Thrilled to report @JRsBBQ will not be part of #Vengeance tonight. Management felt he’d be too busy crying about OU’s loss yesterday.”
A fan responded to Cole’s tweet, coming to the defense of Jim Ross. “@MichaelCole shut up man ur just jealous bc @JRsBBQ is more popular than u! @JoeyStyles”.
Joey Styles responded, asking to be left out of Cole and JR’s drama:
“Please leave me out of JR vs. Cole.”
Jim Ross then followed up with a zinger of his own:
“Leave me out of JR/Cole, too..and 3 man announce train wreck.”

– The Rock hypes WWE Survivor Series on Twitter on Sunday night:
“Time to ELECTRIFY NYC and Madison Square Garden like never before at Survivor Series. #BootsToAsses #THEPeoplesChampion”
– The dark match prior to Sunday’s WWE Vengeance pay-per-view saw Wade Barrett defeat Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan.
– In an update on Dustin “Goldust” Runnels, the WWE agent/producer is expected to undergo yet another surgery on his shoulder. This is due to scar tissue blocking him from regaining his full range of motion.
– In what several sources described as a nice gesture by WWE, the company told all talents not working the Mexico City RAW taping to head home early instead of coming to TV for an extra day. WWE then chartered a plane for all of them to get to Dallas, TX.
Here are some highlights of what various WWE personalities wrote about Sunday’s Vengeance pay-per-view on Twitter:
Vickie Guerrero: “At the end of the night, at least I still have some Gold….great job @HEELZiggler for US Champion”
Natalya: “I guess I’ll be watching @TheBethPhoenix backstage – I’m so mad. Kelly is such a whiner. Thanks for ruining my night @RealKellyKelly”
Zack Ryder: “Sorry Broskis…”
Jim Ross: “Amazing impact! San Antonio crowd came alive. Show & Henry both down. So is the ring. Looks like Henry-Show might be a no decision. Chaos..”
“ADR beats Cena to retain WWE Title…w/ help from Miz & Truth. Very physically intense match. Two Sore dudes tomorrow”
“Nasty crash by HHH thx to super sized power bomb from @RealKevinNash. Cringe worthy.”
“US Title means less when commentary veers off course. Could someone be feeding Cole those untimely, lame JR jokes? Nah.”
Last week’s post-Bound For Glory edition of TNA Impact Wrestling (10/20) did a 1.35 cable rating with 2,019,000 viewers.
That show, headlined by James Storm defeating Kurt Angle to capture the TNA World title, was the second most-watched episode of Impact this year (the after Sting’s return earlier this year).
As we’ve been reporting here on the site – former WWE diva Stacy Keibler is dating Hollywood megastar George Clooney. After keeping their romantic relationship private for several weeks – the couple is now making public appearances together.
Keibler joined George Clooney on the red carpet at the Paris premiere of his new film “The Ides of March” earlier this week (10/19) .. and suffered a good-old-fashioned wardrobe malfunction.
Check out these pictures of Stacy Keibler and her new beau, George Clooney, at a movie premiere in Paris from earlier this week:
Former WWE and TNA star Travis Tomko posted bail on Thursday and was finally released from jail, according to the St. Augustine Record. He’ll be headed to WWE-sponsored drug rehab immediately.
Tomko’s attorney James McCune told the newspaper:
“He’s very grateful for all the support he’s received from his friends, family and fans around the world. Mr. Tomko realizes he is struggling with an addiction and with the support of his family and the WWE, he is voluntarily checking himself into an undisclosed treatment facility to receive the help he needs for a successful recovery.”
Tomko was arrested earlier this month after robbing a CVS pharmacy of oxycodone pills and getting caught in the bathroom of a Chili’s restaurant injecting over a hundred melted-down pills.

The Hollywood Reporter calls The Reunion a “lame action-comedy” that’s best suited for late night cable television, when viewers are half asleep and zoned out. They suggest that Cena, who already has a few movies under his belt (The Marine, 12 Rounds), is probably best off spending his time in the wrestling ring and not on the movie set. From the Hollywood Reporter review:
“Latest effort from WWE Studios is pinned to the mat.”
“There’s one thing to be said about WWE Studios — they’re consistent. Every one of their movies designed to showcase their stable of popular wrestling stars has been a critical and commercial disaster. The latest example is The Reunion, a lame action-comedy that seems ready made for undiscerning late-night cable viewing. This John Cena starrer receiving a token theatrical release provides further evidence that perhaps films are not the company’s forte.”
“But mainly the proceedings revolve around the expected action sequences, leavened by attempts at comedy, that fall flat in both areas. Needless to say, Cena is an imposing physical specimen, but after this and such previous efforts as 12 Rounds and The Marine it may be time for him to concentrate on the ring.”
Meanwhile, the Orlando Sentinel’s Roger Moore has reviewed WWE Studios’ The Reunion with John Cena and has some negative things to say about WWE’s latest effort. Moore gave the movie one star (out of 4) and had the following to say:
“Now Mike Pavone’s last picture for WWE comes out, “The Reunion,” a split personality action comedy that fails to please either impulse. The action is wan, the laughs hard to come by. They spent the money, as they often did under Pavone, on surrounding a wrestling star with decent actors (Amy Smart, Ethan Embry, Michael Rispoli). But an incoherent script gives them too little to do.”
“Wrestler John Cena has become a comfortable screen presence, within a certain range. He’s OK as a cop on disciplinary leave forced to form a sort of bounty hunters business with his siblings in order for them all to receive an inheritance.”
“Coming at the end of a string of flops, “The Reunion” makes one wonder about the motives and business model for this whole enterprise.”
On Thursday’s episode of Impact Wrestling, James Storm defeated Kurt Angle in under two minutes to capture the TNA World championship. TNA has posted the following video to YouTube of James Storms’ title win ..Hey Kurt Angle – Sorry ’bout your damn luck!
COMMENT BELOW: We want to know – what do you think about James Storm winning the TNA World title? After Bobby Roode came up short on Sunday’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view – does TNA’s booking make sense now?
WWE taped Friday’s episode of SmackDown on Sunday night from Mexico City, Mexico. Credit to SEScoops.com reader [Little] Jimi for this report:
* WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio opens up the show and talks about it being a historic SmackDown. Del Rio isn’t up to wrestling tonight. Teddy Long comes out and announces Big Show vs. Del Rio for tonight.
* Mark Henry defeated John Morrison with the World’s Strongest Slam.
* Teddy Long announces Sheamus vs. Christian and Zack Ryder vs. Dolph Ziggler for the United States Title at Vengeance. The Tag Team Title match must have changed.

* Sheamus and Zack Ryder beat Christian and Dolph Ziggler in an excellent tag match. Ryder and Sheamus were both over big time.
* Cody Rhodes comes out with his baggers to cut a promo on Randy Orton and their match at Vengeance. Randy Orton comes out and ends up hitting the RKO on one of Cody’s workers.
* Sin Cara Blue defeated Sin Cara Black in a Mask vs. Mask match. The original Sin Cara used the La Mistica for the win in a great match. Both were over with the crowd. After the match, Black Cara’s mask had to be removed by force. Another report suggests that Blue Cara won by submission.
* Mil Mascaras came out to a big ovation. Triple H was joined by Carlos Cabrera in the ring to announce Mascaras for the 2012 Hall of Fame. This appeared to be an off-camera segment.

* Big Show defeated Alberto Del Rio by DQ in the main event after Ricardo Rodriguez interfered. Mark Henry came out pissed but Big Show stopped him from entering the ring and they stared each other down to end the show.
* Dark Match Main Event: Alberto Del Rio and Randy Orton go at it until Cody Rhodes interfered. Blue Sin Cara ran out and saved Randy Orton and the two celebrated to end the show.
WWE is looking to launch the WWE Network as soon as April – which is much earlier than many were expecting. By launching around the time of WrestleMania, WWE can take advantage of the increased exposure WrestleMania will bring to the product.
As you can imagine, there will be a very aggressive marketing campaign leading up to the network’s debut.
WWE has been conducting a number of online surveys in recent months – asking fans to name WWE shows, whether they’d switch cable providers in order to get the WWE Network and if they want to see WWE PPV events aired for free on the network.
Originally, WWE discussed having the Big 4 pay-per-views (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series) – but the latest plan is for the secondary events to air on the network and to cut the PPV schedule from 13 to 4 (the Big 4). WWE makes around $25 million in revenue from WrestleMania and giving that away for free would likely be a disaster for the company. If WWE gave away the Big 4 events free to subscribers of the network – it’s unlikely anybody is paying $45-55 for a Vengeance PPV.
Shows discussed publicly so far for the WWE network include WrestleMania Rewind, a “Legends House” show where former WWE superstars live together, a Divas Bus Tour show following their life on the road and a Monday Night War recap show.
During the piece, Scott Hall reconnected with his estranged son Cody – and teaching his son the art of pro wrestling. According to a report on TMZ.com – that family reunion was short lived – as Scott Hall’s substance abuse already caused another major falling out between them.
Boston’s TD Garden website, which will host a 3-hour episode of WWE RAW on November 14th, has posted the following preview – hyping The Rock’s appearance and the WWE television return of Mick Foley:

– The Federal Election Commission has ruled that Linda McMahon violated election laws in 2010 by appearing in a WWE commercial for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. No action will be taken against McMahon and it will not affect her run for Senate in 2012.
Linda’s political opponents in the Connecticut Democratic State Central Committee alleged that WWE coordinated corporate contributions with Linda’s 2010 Senate campaign. One of the accusations was that WWE held their Fan Appreciation Day in the state of Connecticut just three days before the election. The commission found no issue with this as Linda’s name, her opponent’s name and her campaign period wasn’t mentioned during Fan Appreciation Day. It was probably just a coincidence ..
– This year’s Tribute to the Troops special will be taped on December 11th from the Crown Colliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The show will first air on the USA Network on 12/13 as a 2-hour special and will then air later that weekend on 12/17 NBC.
Considering the fact that Tribute to the Troops has performed poorly on NBC in recent years, some believe WWE airing the show first on the USA Network can be WWE’s excuse if the rating on NBC bombs again this year.
– While WWE was on tour in Mexico, 7 stars from the CMLL promotion received tryouts at Sunday’s SmackDown tapings from Mexico City.
As we reported here on the site over the weekend, a number of stars from the AAA promotion as well as a few other independent wrestlers received tryouts at Saturday’s RAW tapings.
– Black Sin Cara will debut a new theme song on Friday’s Smackdown called “The Curse.”
– Former WWE announcer Todd Grisham, who made his ESPN debut over the weekend, is also a correspondent for the ABC show America This Morning.
(Credit to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter for some of the information used in this report.)
– WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is said to have a love/hate relationship with the divas division as of late. While Vince has mandated that both RAW and SmackDown each feature at least one divas segment each week, he often thinks it’s a waste of time and instructs Michael Cole to talk about unrelated topics during the diva matches.
– Expect to see more storylines begin and progress online – through the WWE website and Twitter. Friday’s “Mask vs. Mask” match between the two Sin Caras are an example of an angle being announced online but not pushed on television.
– WWE United States Champion Dolph Ziggler is getting praised backstage regarding how he comes across like a star in his interviews. Additionally, Ziggler recently got some backstage praise for carrying Mason Ryan to a good match.
– This year’s Tribute to the Troops special will be taped on December 11th from the Crown Colliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The show will first air on the USA Network on 12/13 as a 2-hour special and will then air later that weekend on 12/17 NBC. Considering the fact that Tribute to the Troops has performed poorly on NBC in recent years, some believe WWE airing the show first on the USA Network can be WWE’s excuse if the rating on NBC bombs again this year.
– After WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross was fired on Monday Night RAW 2 weeks ago by John Laurinaitis, many (including Jim Ross) were surprised when Ross was booked for the following week’s show from Mexico City.
The decision to bring Jim Ross back to RAW so quickly was made after WWE evaluated the television ratings from the show where Ross was fired. An analysis of the minute-to-minute ratings revealed that ratings plummeted immediately after Ross was fired. Additionally, WWE received a ton of negative feedback online via social media. As for JR’s future on WWE television, the belief is that anything is possible at this point.
– This week’s inside joke is that even though Randy Orton is currently the man scheduled to win the 2012 Royal Rumble, those plans may change as soon as Vince McMahon realizes the Rumble takes place from Orton’s home town of St. Louis. As evidenced by the way Jim Ross was fired when RAW took place from Oklahoma, WWE has a track record of burying people in front of their home town crowds.
– WWE’s stock price has rebounded to the $10/share level this week after recently dipping below. Part of the reason for the rebound is that a few financial publications classified the stock as a “buy” – since the company is still very profitable. $9 The stock pride which was below $9 for a while, is now up to $10.10 afer an article listing WWE as a bargain because of how low the price had gotten and that they are still turning a profit.
– Congratulations go out to Jack Swagger, who is now a father. Swagger and his wife Catalina White, a former Maxim model and developmental wrestler, had a baby boy on 10/17 named Knox Stribling Hager.
– As part of CM Punk’s new WWE contract, he gets first class plane tickets, which is one of the perks reserved only for a few top talents. Punk also now has his own tour bus.
– Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown will be appearing at next Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings from Houston, Texas.
– As previously reported, WWE will be airing another live episode of WWE SmackDown on Tuesday, November 29th from Charlotte, North Carolina. The show will replay several days later in SmackDown’s usual Friday night timeslot. The last time WWE aired a live SmackDown on a Tuesday night, the show did its best ratings in years – and this upcoming live Tuesday SmackDown is another experiment to see whether the show should be moved to Tuesdays permanently.
– WWE recently filed for a trademark for the name “Supercharge” – which is a possible name for a future television show.
In recent weeks, we’ve seen a babyface turn and renewed push for one of the most physically jacked-up wrestlers to appear on WWE television in years – Mason Ryan.
According to sources in the WWE locker room, there is a great deal of skepticism about WWE pushing a guy who has a physique that’s virtually impossible to maintain naturally. With WWE’s strict Wellness tests, the superstars know what they can get away with and what they can’t.
Mason Ryan has the body type that looks straight out of the late 80’s & early 90’s – and these days, the general feeling is that he wouldn’t even have a job with the company if he didn’t look the way he does, let alone get a huge push.
WWE went a long time without any Wellness suspensions – then we had Sin Cara, Mike Chioda, Darren Young and Heath Slater all get suspended for drug use. Many are questioning the decision to give a big push to a guy whose main selling point is his body.

Several past and present WWE personalities have commented on Twitter about the ESPN E:60 piece on Scott Hall that aired on Wednesday night. Here’s what the following people said, including comments from Hall himself:
Chris Jericho: “Just saw the Scott Hall E-60 piece. My heart goes out to his family and I hope that was a wake-up call for him.This could be his last chance”
Goldust: “Watched e-60…..im asking the world to pray for scott hall…he is a great man….#PRAYFORSCOTTHALL”

Shane Helms: “Well that Scott Hall piece was pretty damn sad. I really hope life picks up for him and his family. #StarshipCoyote”
Scott Hall: Thank u for all your nice comments & for always pulling for The Bad Guy!
In case you missed it on Wednesday night, here’s ESPN’s E:60 piece on the rise and fall of Scott Hall.
The Wrestler: The Scott Hall Story
“In his prime, Scott Hall was a mountain of a man – 6-foot-7, 290 pounds of solidly sculptured muscle, appearing as close as invincible as they come. As Razor Ramon, he was one of professional wrestling’s biggest names and most villainous villains, busting chairs with the likes of Randy Savage, Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans in sold-out arenas. And he loved the life that came with it: the parties, the women, the celebrity. But the high life soon started to slip away, and Hall has been desperately doing whatever he can since to hold on ever since. Hall’s slide seems to know no bottom – from his deteriorating physical and mental condition, to his ongoing battle with alcohol and substance abuse that has crippled his family life and resulted in pathetic public appearances in school gyms. But he’s hanging on, somehow. Now his only son, Cody, wants to follow in his father’s tortured bootsteps. E:60 chronicles the heartbreaking story of a man who is a shadow of his former self and desperate for one last taste of the glory days.”
UFC president Dana White posted the following on Twitter:
“just land in NYC and what do I always say!? I have to deal with bad shit everyday!! GSP is out with an injury!!! It’s GSP’S knee. We will sit Carlos to wait for GSP. It’s looking so far like he could be ready in a couple months. Still early to tell tho.”
White also said that Nick Diaz vs BJ Penn is the new main event for UFC 137 on 10/29.
