— ESPN recently interviewed with Rey Mysterio, who was promoting the new WWE All Stars video game. To read the full interview, visit ESPN.com. Here’s what Mysterio said about The Rock’s recent WWE return:

“I want to say that maybe for a while, our fan base, the WWE Universe have been asking themselves for a very long time if The Rock is coming back, when is The Rock coming back. Now here he is, and I think everyone who had been wondering about that were very entertained. And I’m not going to lie to you, I was at home and I was entertained. But there was a big comeback from what The Rock said last Monday, so now it’s getting good because John Cena doesn’t have tape over his mouth. He can spit, and when he spits, he can get nasty, so it’s going to be good. That’s all I can say, it’s going to be good.”

“Anytime you get something new, or something old that was good that fans have been waiting to see but hasn’t been given to them, then boom, it’s back, it’s like wow, and everyone is on the edge of their seats. Here we go. And this year, I think fans are going to be on the edge of their seats for Wrestlemania, from the beginning to the end.”

WrestleMania 27 guest host Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appeared on Monday’s episode of RAW and responded to John Cena’s freestyle rap diss from the week before. Check it out:

WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels also appeared on RAW and had this to say about the big Undertaker vs. Triple H match scheduled for WrestleMania:

Arda Ocal of The Score Television Network and Right After Wrestling sat in studio with the author of “Undisputed”, Chris Jericho. Highlights:

– On the emotions within the pages of ‘Undisputed’, particularly writing about the passing of his mother [1:00]

??- How it was trying to please Vince McMahon as a performer, the “audience of one” as he refers to it in “Undisputed” [1:53]?

– After making it in pro wrestling, having to pay his dues all over again as the lead singer of Fozzy [3:09]?

– The similarities of being a performer in professional wrestling and being the frontman while playing in his band [5:35]?

– Is Chris Jericho approachable to fans? [8:02]??

– What is his “winning the Intercontinental title” goal for Fozzy and his acting career? [9:30]??

Jericho on The Rock’s return: “It’s unfair to say ‘The Rock came back and he embarrassed everyone and he blew everyone outta the water’ – he always did! The only difference is in The Rock’s time, he has Austin, Foley, Jericho – there were guys that could hang at that level – some of the best promo guys of all time. It’s not that guys like Cena or Miz can’t hang at The Rock’s level, it just that he (The Rock) is so far above everybody else – he always has been…as a promo man, The Rock is the best of all time!”

The interview is available here.

Matt Hardy on being in TNA: “It’s been great. For me it’s really revitalized my love and passion of the business. I didn’t realize like the last six or eight months I was with WWE that actually that uncomfortable, miserable and unhappy I was going into work. That’s not a shot against WWE. I mean WWE is a phenomenal, great, company. They [WWE] did so many great things for me. They made me a star. I wouldn’t be sitting here with you right now if it weren’t for them. I’m grateful to everyone there who’s you know done so many good things for me and allowed me to have the great living that I have. It just came to a point where there were several different circumstances that kind of came into play. It was just time for me to move on and do something different.”

Matt Hardy on “Cold Blood” and his conditioning: “No this all mine [Creation of Cold Blood Character]. It’s very similar to the ‘Mattitude’ version, one thing that was all mine too. Both of those drew from real life. You know ‘Cold Blood’ actually comes from just my theories like…about a year and a half ago whenever I had my abdominal injuries I just remember getting into my surgery and the surgeon actually told me ‘Well I know you love wrestling and you’ve pretty much done it for your entire adult life, but you might not be able to wrestle after this.’ That was a pretty hard pill to swallow. I was going ‘Wow. I didn’t know it was this bad.’

Even after I had that surgery I found out I had intestinal issues where almost like you have a water hose and you can’t get water through the hose. I have two spots, almost three, two and half I guess in my intestines. I had to change my diet. I had to completely re-invent it actually steak is something I can’t eat at all. I never eat steak and I hate that because I eat steak all the time. Red meat is out. Between that and I felt like you know a lot of my fans that had always supported me, which were the hardcore fans, earn it fans. They definitely didn’t mind making fun of me because of injuries or because my pants looked different, which wasn’t terribly drastic. Which is funny because compared to a normal person it’s not really anything in the scheme of things.

Actually when I started with TNA I knew I would never have three or four months off again, so I tried to do all good to gain size and than I was just going to die down. I will continue to get in better shape because now I know what I can put into my body and what I can’t. That was kind of scary. That was a whole new thing in life to kind of figure out, so there’s like little things I can’t eat and some things I can, but between that and when Jeff showed up on that January 4 show, when they did the Monday impact you know I got a call from Johnny Ace.

“Matt. What’s going on?’ I don’t know Johnny. He said, ‘Is Jeff showing up there? How could you let him do this?’ I mean I’m not him like you know I kept getting phone calls saying ‘Is he there? What’s he doing?’ Ever since that day on Jeff didn’t have intentions of signing with TNA. You know I think Jeff was rubbed wrong by how they…you know they had Dr.Sampon [WWE] go out and mention his legal situation. I think from that point on he was rubbed the wrong way by WWE and he got an awesome deal to go there and he’s real happy to go there because the schedule is so much more laid back. Also the environment is laid back, but between Jeff going and just like you know I was working so much. I just couldn’t get time off. I couldn’t get my body right. I couldn’t get my mind right. I ended up just being unhappy.

“I needed a change and TNA became that change for me. That’s where ‘Cold Blooded’ came from because I’m always the guy you know like people always say ‘Do you see the glass half full or half empty?’ I always go ‘Well it’s half full.’ Actually I always say ‘It’s like two-thirds full.’ You know more than half-full because I’ve had a great life. I have nothing to complain about and I’m happy you know pretty much every day of my life.

“It’s one of those things like I drew from those bad experiences, from my last few months in WWE for how some of the hard-core fans treated me to how I felt was pretty unfair considering there were a lot of things out of my control like physical issues. Sacrifices I made like throwing myself off three-foot ladders, through tables, for twelve/thirteen years. You know that does make you ‘Cold Blooded’ to a degree, so that’s actually where all that’s drawn from. I wanted to build on it as time goes. The character is really in it’s beginning stages. It’s in 101 now. I have a lot of really cool ideas going forward.”

Matt Hardy on John Cena’s promo on Raw in response to The Rock: Umm I actually caught the highlights back on YouTube. Actually thought that’s something John’s needed for a while. He just kind of needed an edge because the ‘PG thing’ is one thing that I think TNA they have an advantage over WWE it’s like I don’t think they have to go crazy as far as bleeding or swearing or sex, violence, whatever. It’s nice they don’t have a super tight parameter to be in and all these boundaries.

“For the longest time John would come on and go ‘Yeah and all this PG and all this PG.’ It’s just like I think pushing your audience, like the 18-to-34 you’re looking for out the door, it’s like I don’t want to hear that and for John to have that little edge again. I think that was important. He needed that you know. They’re not in the grand scheme of things [WWE targeting an 18-to-34 audience], but when it comes down to advertising bucks and the demographics. That’s the demographics that make money. In the big scheme of things that’s what it’s all about.”

Matt Hardy on his supposed heat backstage (for commenting on Twitter about being responsible for ratings boost in TNA): “God I love the Internet. No I mean obviously sure it’s ‘tongue-in-cheek.’ Even I don’t have the popularity of Jeff, but still as I wrestle as a hill like when I go out it’s a baby faced reaction. I really have to work hard and bust it to get the crowd to turn against me, but that’s my whole goal.

“Even on Twitter I’ve played on those things, obviously I would never come out and say those things in a serious light. That’s just like saying if I cut a promo on TV obviously I’m going to say stuff that’s full of stuff that is trash you know. It’s the same thing on Twitter I incorporate things here, there or whatever. People that are intelligent much like yourself like you said it was ‘tongue-in-cheek,’ they know the difference. It’s supposed to be entertaining to a degree.”

— Shawn Michaels just tweeted this about Bret Hart joining Twitter:

“Just saw the Hitman is on twitter. U all gotta help him out. I’m followin fer sure:-)”

– A fan asked The Rock on Twitter what he thinks about WWE’s current PG product. The Rock tweeted:

“It was a very smart choice to go PG. It may not have been the popular choice a few years ago – but it was very smart.”

– Bill Goldberg tweeted the following over the weekend in response to fans asking him whether he’ll be a part of WrestleMania 27:

– Happy birthday to WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat, who turns 58 today.

– Chris Jericho has wrapped up his latest book signing tour.

– WWE Champion The Miz is featured in the new issue of Men’s Fitness magazine.

– WWE is planning DVD sets for Edge, War Games ad Brock Lesnar for later this year.

Tonight’s episode of WWE RAW will take place from the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York.

The main selling point for the show is that The Rock will respond to John Cena’s battle rap diss from last week.

On Sunday night, John Cena hinted that The Rock will have a response on RAW. Later in the evening, The Rock responded with a picture – and the caption, “… on RAW … my response .. ” Cena responded to The Rock’s photo on Monday morning.

At this point, there’s no confirmation that The Rock will be at RAW in person, a more likely scenario is that we’ll see a taped promo or The Rock appearing live via satellite, but that’s just speculation at this point.

Additionally, Triple H is scheduled for RAW and will explain why he’s chosen to challenge The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Taker is not advertised for the show.

Last week, WWE held a press conference in Mexico City announcing the acquisition of lucha libre star Sin Cara, formerly Mistico. Jim Ross said WWE is planning a strong television push for Sin Cara – so expect to see footage video footage from WWE’s Sin Cara Press Conference, which we’ve had on the site since last week.

The HSBC Arena is advertising a dark match main event of John Cena and Randy Orton teaming up against WWE Champion The Miz and Nexus leader CM Punk, with Michael Cole as special referee.

In response to The Rock posting a photo over the weekend of him stomping on John Cena merchandise, Cena tweeted the following on Monday morning:

“Woke up to see what looks like rocks foot crushing the words Hustle Loyalty and Respect. Yep…that sounds like the rock alright.”

Fans then asked Cena about whether The Rock will be at tonight’s RAW, to which Cena responded:

“yeah…I expected a lil more…but im sure tonight will be good. Ill be waiting to see him”

“maybe we will. Its in buffalo. Ill be there. We will see if dwayne can fit it into his sched.”

The Rock posted the following on his Facebook page on Sunday night:

…On RAW…my response…

– John Cena tweeted the following on Sunday afternoon, which seems to imply The Rock will have some sort of involvement on Monday’s RAW:

“CeNation. Just got back from south america. Holy casserole it was magical. I heard a rumor that the rocks camp was pretty peeved at what I said on mon. I think he may have something planned for tomorrow. I can not wait.”

– According to the WWE corporate website, this year’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view is estimated to have drawn 449,000 buys. This is down from 462,000 buys in 2010 and virtually even with 2009’s 450,000 buys.

– WWE legend Randy Savage was spotted during Saturday’s New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves spring training game in Port St. Lucie, Florida. A reader sent in this screen shot of Savage, who had great seats for the game .. Savage is the one that looks like Santa Clause playing on his cellphone:

During an interview with Peter Rosenberg, Hulk Hogan criticized WWE’s handling of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s return to WWE last week on Raw.

“They’ve spent so much time building John Cena up. There’s a way to really build somebody up, but all of a sudden within three or four seconds, he had the whole arena screaming that Cena sucks,” Hogan said.

“Sometimes I don’t understand the philosophy. John Cena is going to be there all the time. Even though The Rock said he’s back, he’s only back for one day. He’s not going to be there wrestling every single day like John Cena is, really holding it down and really keeping it real. All that stuff is scripted. They had Stephanie McMahon and the writers telling The Rock exactly what to say. I just didn’t understand why they would want to destroy Cena so quickly.”

Hogan also talked about the eight (!!!) back surgeries he’s undergone over the past year. Though he wears a brace, he’s now pain free. He noted that he will be on hand for tonight’s iMPACT! taping in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

You can check out the interview at Rosenberg’s official website, RosenbergRadio.com.

– There’s no word yet on when The Rock will make his next WWE television appearance, but company officials want to keep his presence special and do not want to overexpose him. That said, he will be on RAW at least one more time before WrestleMania to further his feud with John Cena and The Miz and give a final boost to the WrestleMania build.

– Following Monday’s RAW, The Rock tweeted the following about the Undertaker and Triple H’s confrontation:

“loved seeing both Undertaker and Triple H return..what incredible crowd reactions for both..very happy for them – epic match!”

– People close to The Rock believe that his return to WWE means a lot to him. After being away for 7 years, Rock genuinely missed being in front of a live crowd and is excited to be a part of WrestleMania. The Rock’s mother was quoted last week saying:

“I was so proud of him. It was emotional to me, as his music hit and he appeared. It was flashbacks through the past, through three generations in the business we’ve loved throughout. By the time he hit that ring and took that mic and I saw the goose bumps on his arms, I knew he was in it. The connection between him and the fans was incredible. Like he had never left.”

– John Cena tweeted the following on Monday night about The Rock, The Miz and Monday’s RAW:

“CeNation. Handle bizz on sunday…check …let rock know im not a pushover…check…win tag titles…check…realize how much of a self centered egotistical rat bastard dowsh bag the miz is…..check. yer in my sights now kid. The world will soon know if u got it or u don’t. Other than that I had a blast tonight. Fresno was ON FIRE!”

– Although the war of words between John Cena and The Rock is heating up by the week, there are no immediate plans for the two of them to have a match. The door is still open for John Cena and The Rock to have a “dream match” down the road, possibly at next year’s WrestleMania 27, but at this time, there are no plans for The Rock to wrestle another match in WWE.

That said, chances are good that we’ll see The Rock get physically involved at WrestleMania in some capacity.

– WWE’s official website is acknowledging the rapid-fire tag title changes from Monday’s RAW. For those who missed it, John Cena and The Miz captured the tag titles from Justin Gabriel. CORRE leader Wade Barrett said he wanted to invoke Slater and Gabriel’s rematch clause right then and there, which the anonymous RAW General Manager approved. Slater and Gabriel re-captured the belts after The Miz turned on John Cena.

The WWE website lists Slater and Gabriel as 3-time tag team champions.

Former WWE writers Seth Mates and Dave Lagana have shared their ideas on the current feud between John Cena and The Rock.

– Dave Lagana has updated his blog with a blog talking about John Cena’s battle rap from RAW where he responded to The Rock’s recent insults towards him. Lagana talks about:

– How John Cena needed to get his “edge” back to combat the Rock
– Why rapping every so often will keeps the haters off Cena’s back.
– How the Cena rap character was discovered andy why it worked.
– Favorite Cena raps of the 2002-2005 era
– The rap that not a lot of people saw but set the tone for Cena as
babyface.

To check out the blog, visit IWantWrestling.com.

– Meanwhile, former creative team member Seth Mates did some fantasy booking of how he would book John Cena vs. The Miz and how The Rock would get involved:

“During the match, Rock comes down and accidentally knocks down Cena,” Mates writes. “The Miz smiles as if he did it on purpose as revenge.

“Rock plays along for a second, then beats the hell out of Miz. Cena gets up, hits finisher, pins Miz for the WWE Title.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has responded to Michael Cole’s jab at home from Monday’s RAW. Ross tweeted on Monday afternoon:

“I was very uncomfortable with Cole invoking Jerry’s late mom into Cole’s presentation. He didn’t have to go there.”

“Getting ‘knocked’ by the Raw annoucners monday night was like a junior high kid knocking the varsity. It doesn’t matter.”

“Cole is like a yapping dog. One just tunes it out. Thought the ‘Presidents/THQ’ line was funny…not original but funny.”

Regarding John Cena’s battle rap diss of The Rock, Ross wrote:

“I thought Cena’s response to Rock was one of the best Cena promos in ages. Really enjoyed it.”

In case you missed it from RAW, John Cena returned to his hip hop roots and served The Rock a lesson in basic thugganomics:

— TNA Wrestling officials were understanding of the travel issues that prevented Generation Me from making their scheduled appearance at last week’s Against All Odds pay-per-view. However, they were not pleased with the duo relaying their predicament on Twitter. Management feel Max and Jeremy should have allowed them to come up with a replacement plan and announce it at once rather than sharing details of their travel problems online.

The next day, Max took a shot at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson while watching his WWE return, writing on Twitter: “The Rock would not pass a wellness policy test.” The comment was later deleted.

— Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s return to WWE garnered a rave review from Tommy Dreamer. He wrote yesterday on Twitter: “I just saw the Rock’s return & the 2/21/11 video. AMAZING. If anyone wants 2 know why wrestling is the best. Watch that. Gave me goosebumps!”

The Rock thanked Mickie James for her comments, adding that he likes her country music. He wrote on Twitter.com/TheRock:

– Shawn Michaels was interviewed at the first annual fund raising dinner for The Outdoor Adventure Foundation, Texas Chapter, yesterday. Here’s what he told Amarillo.com about his future in wrestling:

“I’m not going to wrestle again. The only way a 185-pound guy made it in that business is to do something nobody else ever did. The best thing I can do is to stay retired, because nobody ever stays retired. I’ll still be part of the company. You never really get out of the WWE unless you’re wearing concrete shoes at the bottom of the Hudson River, but no more active wrestling.”

– WWE went to great lengths on Monday to keep The Rock’s return a surprise. People working in WWE production were told that Justin Bieber would be announced as the WrestleMania 27 guest host – and the episode of RAW was even titled “Leave it to Bieber” on the episode script.

– Actress Ariel Winter, who appeared on RAW last Monday and stars in The Chaperone, told Star Magazine that she did her own stunts in the movie. Regarding Triple H, she said:

“I had an amazing bond with Triple H, he’s like my second Dad.”

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what Jim Ross spoke about:

Jerry Lawler’s WWE Title Shot on Sunday: “Jerry is genuinely excited about being in the main event of a WWE PPV which will be this Sunday in Oakland at the Elimination Chamber vs. the Miz for the WWE Title. Personally, I feel that Jerry needs to get away his recent heartaches and get back on the road that he is so comfortable with and, more importantly, get back in the ring which is like a second home for him. King is much more refined and skilled than is the younger, less experienced albeit talented Miz which may bode well for the #1 challenger for the WWE title come Sunday. I would not miss this PPV for the world because I believe that shocks and surprises from WWE will abound over the next few weeks leading into WM27 and no one can argue that Jerry Lawler upsetting Miz to win the WWE title wouldn’t be a HUGE shocker.”

The Rock’s WWE Plans After WM27: “I have no idea what Rock’s plans are as they relate to WWE after WM27. I haven’t given it much thought but many fans are seemingly obsessed in knowing what the Rock’s plans are for the future. I don’t see Rock emotionally ever leaving the WWE Universe but I also don’t see him appearing as a ‘regular’ on WWE programming in the future either which is why this Wrestlemania event is so intriguing and is such a must see pay per view. We are attending the event AND buying and taping the PPV.”

WWE All Stars: “The new, THQ produced WWE All Star Video game is getting more and more play as the anticipation builds to it’s release the Tuesday of WM27 week. There will be a tie in with JR’s Family BBQ on this exciting new game so please watch for details. ”
