As seen on the October 21 episode of Raw during the contact signing for the WWE Championship Match between Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell, Triple H offended WWE Superstars and fans alike with his verbal burial of the talents of Bryan, as well as Chris Jericho, Edge and Rob Van Dam. WWE’s Chief Operating Officer grouped Bryan with his three predecessors and declared that like them, he is not capable of being “The Face of WWE.” The official WWE website caught up with Edge for an interview and asked him about the WWE Chief Operating Officer’s flippant remark.
“When you look back on WWE’s history, how many guys really were “the guy”? There was Bruno Sammartino, then Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock and now John Cena. Then again, does Triple H like guys with long hair that are better looking and more athletic than him? Probably not. And I think the three of us fall into that category,” responded Edge.
“The Rated-R Superstar” previously addressed Hunter’s remarks on Twitter, stating, “I think everyone forgets it’s entertainment. Santa isn’t real either. Or the Easter Bunny(I think, rabbits are sneaky).”
The 11-time World Champion appears regularly on Syfy series Haven, which started in July 2011, as Dwight Hendrickson. In response to whether he envisioned the show lasting through a fourth season then, Edge said, “I envisioned the show [going to season four], but I don’t know if I envisioned myself going to season four. [My involvement began] when WWE got in contact with the “Haven” producers, who were interested in using a wrestler. WWE said, “We got this guy. He just retired. We think he can do it.” And it just worked out. I went out and one scene turned into four scenes, turned into four episodes, turned into being asked back for the next season. That turned into seven [episodes] and then being asked back again next season and becoming one of the focal characters of the show.”
Edge was also asked whether he will return to WWE, and replied, “I’ll use the absolute most over-used cliché, “never say never,” because when I have come back, it has been fun. If it’s fun, cool and creative and would shake things up and help some new, young talent, I would.”
Edge has been posting paintings on Twitter, and discusses this and more in the interview. To access it, click here.
With WrestleMania XXX only five months away, WWE officials are working on the card for the pay-per-view event. However, much of the card will hinge on whether agreements with inactive individuals can be made, such as former World Heavyweight Champions Goldberg and Sting. Here is the proposed card for the event.
* A match pitting Triple H against “Stone Cold” Steve Austin for control of WWE, with Austin representing Vince McMahon, is not expected to occur.
* WWE officials want to secure Sting, whose contract with TNA Wrestling is set to expire, for the event and have him face The Undertaker. The fallback plan is Undertaker facing Brock Lesnar as originally scheduled.
* WWE officials are very interested in securing Goldberg for the show and having him face Ryback. If a deal falls through, Ryback will instead face Big Show. However, if WWE is able to secure Goldberg, Ryback will then face Big Show at Elimination Chamber.
* CM Punk facing Randy Orton is currently planned for the event. Punk had been planned to win the 30-Man Royal Rumble to receive the accompanying World Title shot, but current talk has the winner facing the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship.
* While Shawn Michaels has denied the possibility of wrestling again, there are people within WWE who wholeheartedly believe that he will face Daniel Bryan on the show.
* Goldust is scheduled to turn on Cody Rhodes, leading to the match both have requested for years. Company officials are pleased with Goldust’s work since returning to the promotion a few weeks ago: he’s exceeded all expectations.
Meanwhile, the ongoing Triple H vs. Big Show feud will not culminate at the event. A match between both individuals is scheduled to occur between December and February at Elimination Chamber.
– With John Cena capturing the World Heavyweight Championship from Alberto Del Rio at Hell in Cell, it will once again be portrayed as equal to the WWE Championship. According to F4WOnline.com today, Cena and Randy Orton are expected to remain as champions through at least Elimination Chamber, and will be portrayed as equals.
– In this edition of The JBL & Cole Show, Renee Young takes fans on wild ride through some of the best, funniest and most outrageous moments from the past 49 episodes of the show.
– A video surfaced Thursday showing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in a rambling rage, using threatening words such as “kill” and “murder.” Former WWE Superstar Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake attempted to speak with Ford at Toronto City Hall, but was escorted out by security after cutting a promo on the embattled mayor while advertising a submarine sandwich.
– Savio Vega is the latest addition to the Alumni section on WWE.com. The website is branding him as one of the unexpected heroes of WWE’s “New Generation,” and acknowledges his path to the organization through Puerto Rican professional wrestling.
– AVClub.com has published an article naming the nineteen least essential entertainments from 1993 and Mr. Nanny starring Hulk Hogan heads the dubious list—the movie was shot during Hogan’s hiatus from WWE following WrestleMania VIII.
The website labels Hogan’s early 1990s outside-the-ring ventures with the following: “Tuba-voiced pro wrestler Hulk Hogan was a ubiquitous media presence throughout the ’90s, trying his hand at everything from music (1995’s Hulk Rules) to restaurants (the terrifyingly punctuated Hulk Hogan’s Pastamania!) despite showing very little talent for anything that didn’t involve leg drops.”
Former WWE and WCW wrestler Paul Roma still harbors ill will toward Triple H, who was buried by the Chief Operating Officer years ago in WWE’s video release spotlighting the Four Horsemen-Triple H questioned Roma’s inclusion in the elite World Championship Wrestling group in 1993, and dismissively referred to him as a “job guy from WWE.” In a preview of his newly released shoot interview with RF Video, the three-time WCW World Tag Team Champion takes aim at “The Game.”
In response to Triple H’s remarks, Roma says, “If you didn’t take it in your a**, yeah you married the boss’s daughter, I get that. Something’s not right there, that I think we can all agree with. But at the end of the day, you’re not a great f****** worker. You’re not the Ultimate Warrior, jumping up on the ropes. You’re not Hulk f***** Hogan. You’ll never be as big as any of them, or Savage.
“You could write yourself into every WrestleMania, every year, every six months, you’re in another thing. But at the end of the f****** day, you are who you are.”
Roma made similar remarks during an interview in 2008, stating, “Helmsley, you suck, dude! You’re married to the boss’s daughter, who’s running the show. You’re gassed up and when you get off the gas, you shrivel and when you’re on the gas, you look like s***.”
Elsewhere in the preview video, Roma relays stories on Power and Glory, Barry Horowitz, The Rockers, Ric Flair and cheating drug tests.

– Former WWE developmental wrestler Marcus Anthony will be on hand for tonight’s Impact Wrestling taping in Cincinnati, Ohio at Cincinnati Gardens. Without indicating whether he will he wrestle on the show, Anthony wrote on Facebook this afternoon, “On my way to Cincinnati gardens #TNA #Tonight #Sga #Gammapunch.”
Meanwhile, Anthony stated on Sunday that a person pulled a gun on him.
Anthony had been teaming with Rob Terry in Ohio Valley Wrestling until TNA Wrestling ceased its affiliation with the Louisville, Kentucky-based promotion. He was under a developmental contract to WWE last year, and sparingly competed at NXT events as Lincoln Broderick. He was one of five developmental wrestlers released in November 2012.
– The official YouTube account of TNA Wrestling has released footage from Jeff Hardy’s CD release party last night at Dave & Buster’s in Cincinnati, Ohio.

– Cincinnati Bengals cornerback and former TNA World Tag Team Champion Adam “Pacman” Jones is scheduled for tonight’s Impact Wrestling taping in Cincinnati, Ohio at Cincinnati Gardens. Promoting the former World Title Holder’s appearance, TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter wrote on Twitter, “Great having dinner with @RealPacman24 last night.

Ashley Sebera, a fitness model who recognizes herself as a pro athlete for International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness, has joined WWE. Sebera revealed on Twitter that she began training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida on Monday.
Sebera is the eighth female with a non-wrestling background to join WWE this year, following Total Divas stars Eva Marie and JoJo, Brittany Fetkin (a/k/a Devin Taylor), C.J. Perry (a/k/a Lana), Erika Hammond (a/k/a Veronica Lane), Leah Van Dale and Sarah Backman.
Here is her tweet announcing that she’s starting to train with WWE:
– Total Divas star Eva Marie being fast-tracked to the WWE roster in spite of her lack of wrestling experience has some people within the sports-entertainment organization upset.
Dave Meltzer revealed in this week’s issue of the Wrestling Observer Newseltter that each time Eva Marie competes on television, he’ll hear complaints from her co-workers. According to him, they are baffled with the 29-year-old wrestling on television while experienced developmental workers in Emma and Paige remain stuck in NXT.
Monday on Raw during a tag team match, Eva Marie secured her first pinfall by rolling up Tamina. She is scheduled to appear on the company’s tour of Europe, as she revealed on Twitter that she will be on hand for Saturday’s show in Munich, Germany.
– Antonio Thomas, who competed for WWE in 2005 and 2006 as a member of The Heart Throbs, spoke to the The Sports Courier about his time with the organization (the relationship between WWE and Ohio Valley Wrestling while he was employed, working with Jim Cornette and Bill DeMott, his WWE match, the huge turnover of talent in the mid-2000s, etc.), his wrestling school, New England Championship Wrestling, the Boston Red Sox and more.
– Currently featured on the front page of WWE.com is a poll asking fans on the hottest couple. With over 130,00 votes cast, Lita and Edge are leading at 35%, followed by Daniel Bryan and AJ Lee at 18% and “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth at 15%.
– WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee is once again a member of the Raw roster. She was transferred to SmackDown shortly after her “Pipe Bombshell” tirade and the official WWE website now has her listed as a member of Raw again. The home page of the WWE App, however, has not been updated as she is still featured on the SmackDown graphic (below CM Punk representing Raw).
– WWE continues to highlight the legendary career of Hulk Hogan. “The Hulkster” is currently featured on the front page of WWE.com, as rare photos of the iconic wrestler are being showcased again. Also, the company’s YouTube account just released a clip from last year’s nWo: The Revolution video release of Kevin Nash, Billy Kidman, Jimmy Hart, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes discussing Hogan’s infamous heel turn at Bash at the Beach in 1996.
WWE highlighting Hogan’s career online is not an indication that he’s coming back to the promotion. Joey Styles, WWE’s Vice President of Digital Media Content, revealed in an interview with VOC Nation last month that the Hall of Famer was intentionally placed on the front page last month as means to build traffic after news surfaced that his contract with TNA Wrestling had contract expired.
“Nobody at WWE.com knows if the (front office) is talking to Hulk Hogan,” Styles said. “But it’s out there on every other site; we know that fans are thinking it, so why wouldn’t we use all of the videos and content that we own and use it on the site to build traffic and entertain the fans?”

Raw viewership peaked during the first hour, drawing 4.069 million viewers. The second hour drew 3.951 million viewers, before plunging to 3.643 million in the third and final hour featuring a confrontation between the power couple and “The World’s Largest Athlete.”
The final rating is expected to be released later today.

Company officials weren’t sure what his diagnosis would be until Friday, which is why nothing was announced until yesterday afternoon.
Many of Axel’s co-workers consider the news very disappointing since he’s popular among them and viewed as a person who goes forward with whatever he’s asked to do.
At this time, the severity of his injury, as well as the status of the WWE Intercontinental Championship, is unknown.

His caption reads, “Thinkin, thinkin, thinkin. HH.”
It was reported last week by PWInsider.com that the 60-year-old has been “training like a mad man” in hopes of wrestling again for WWE.

The former WWE Divas Champion also reveals that she would like to peek inside the male wrestlers’ locker room.
