— According to f4wonline.com, WWE’s creative brass had planned last week for Wade Barrett to win the WWE Championship tonight at Bragging Rights. Though the British wrestler ultimately won the match, he did not win the title due to interference from fellow Nexus member John Cena. Thus, Orton retained the gold.
— Referencing The Undertaker’s brief staredown with former WWE rival Brock Lesnar at last night’s UFC 121 event, Joey Styles commented the following on Twitter while the Buried Alive Match was taking place:
“I’m not surprised Kane is taking a beating in this Buried Alive Match. Undertaker has been ready to throw a punch for at least 24 hrs.”
— Former WWE performers Perry Satullo (a/k/a Perry Saturn), Bill Irwin (a/k/a The Goon) and Greg Gagne were backstage visiting former colleagues at tonight’s Bragging Rights pay-per-view event in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is believed to be Satullo’s first wrestling related appearance since 2004.
The former WCW World Tag Team Champion seemingly disappeared from public view for a number of years as family, friends, and his three ex-wives reportedly had no information as to his whereabouts. Furthermore, due to the fact that he missed the funerals of two of his good friends (Chris Candido and John Kronus), and the funeral of his mentor “Killer” Kowalski, some speculated that he may have been dead. However, it was reported last November that he had been found alive and well and was residing in Albert Lea, Minnesota.
— DolphZiggler.com recently conducted a candid interview with the Intercontinental Champion himself. He answered questions on how it feels as champion to be listed among some of the greatest Superstars in sports entertainment, whether his law degree level education at Kent State has come in handy backstage in the WWE locker room, working with Vickie Guerrero, and much more.
When asked to give his take on his ring name drawing comparisons to that of the lead character in the infamous skin flick Boogie Nights, Dirk Diggler, he responded:
“I’m sure there’s at least one thing Dirk Diggler and I have in common….. Haha! Also, I have been able to embrace my love of latex and sex shop outfits and they have become as synonymous with DOLPH, as having an 8-pack! Also, I have recently added a tight collar to my latex accessories.”
