epic match from pre-suck TNA

**Sting's announcement of a new TNA contract earlier this week was for storyline reasons only.

**TNA Impact on Thursday earned a 1.0 cable rating.

**Dave Batista is in Miami, according to various reports. He has told people that he is there for business reasons.

**Lita, Torrie Wilson, Diamond Dallas Page, Maryse and Rikishi are in Miami this week hanging out with their former co-workers from the WWE.

**Kurt Angle told TMZ on Thursday that he has a torn hamstring, which will hurt his training for the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. He plans on undergoing an MRI today.
Speaking of Angle, his mother was recently the victim of a money wiring scam with the FBI now investigating the case. Angle’s 80-year old mother received a phone call that her grandson was in a Dominican Republican prison and needed to wire $4,000 right away or there would be severe repercussions. The mother wired the money and then received another demand for an additional $4,000 and this is when she contacted Kurt and learned that the grandson in question was fine and hadn’t been to the Dominican in over a year. TMZ has picked up the story and Angle has posted that he will find the person responsible for this.

**The Miami Herald has an interview with Jerry Lawler promoting WrestleMania, his favourite ‘Mania match he has called, working the show last year in Atlanta and Vince McMahon calling him the most all-around talent person in the business.

**Marvel.com speaks with Sheamus about WrestleMania 28, Hulk Hogan Vs Ultimate Warrior and Avengers Vs X-Men.

**The Baltimore Sun has another interview with Sheamus discussing his first WWE Title win in 2009 and the differences in his character today, being left off the main card of WrestleMania and people having animosity towards The Rock coming back.

**Get ready for WrestleMania with some WWE recipes.

**Pro Wrestling Guerilla has announced the first round matches for what is usually one of the best weekends of year in terms of matches with the annual DDT4 tournament on April 21st:
*Roderick Strong & Sami Callihan Vs Appetite for Destruction
*The Dynasty Vs Future Shock
*Super Smash Brothers Vs The Young Bucks
*The Fightin’ Taylor Boys Vs RockNES Monsters

**A hour special on the WWE Hall of Fame will show an hour before tomorrow's WWE RAW.

**Part of the deal for Ric Flair to appear at last night's WWE Hall of Fame were that he was to mention TNA and a WWE wrestler would appear in commentary for an upcoming TNA DVD release. The first did not happen, as Flair never mentioned TNA.

pretty good show last night. not quite up there with the greatest wrestlemanias, but a solid, well paced show, save for the musical performances. that is one aspect that can go away as far as i am concerned.

i'd guess most were disappointed by bryan/sheamus. i was. but i'll wait to see how it plays out before condemning it. i was amazed by and quite liked the huge number of 'yes!' signs in the front rows. the daniel bryan chants during kane/orton were nice, too.

hell in a cell was a much better match than last year's, which i thought was quite overrated. it wasn't a classic (their x-7 match still is the best between these two), but it was the best match of the night. the show didn't quite get back to the peak that happened during and after the match. shawn michaels did well in his role, if a little overboard, but he really did add an element to the match that was lacking last year-something for the fans and viewers to watch while taker/hhh laid around selling moves.

punk/jericho was a bit of a let down as it didn't seem they worked together as well as they should have, at least in the first half or so. i thought the family part of the storyline introduced the last couple of weeks was weak, so jerichos antics at the beginning were just lame, but at least it made sense in context. yet that stuff was a non-factor in the later parts of the match, so what did it really accomplish? not much. best ""workrate" match of the night, for sure.

rock/cena was fine, but ultimately not worthy of the hype unless there is things planned for them going forward. rock seemed a bit rusty and slow in keeping up with cena at times, but there didn't seem to be any major gaffes. i was surprised by the outcome to some extent, but if it means some sort of character tweaking for cena (i don't see a heel turn coming, though) i'm ok with it. nothing like a loud "same old shit" chant during your main event to keep things interesting. cena did much better than the rock in the promos and hype leading up to the match, and he did carry the match itself, so rocks return, in my eyes, has been quite disappointing. the guy is still better than most, but cena really showed he could outperform one of the best.

If Cena doesn't go full heel tonight he jobbed for no reason but the rock's ego.

probably the case

i can't buy into that. rock hasn't ever had a problem putting someone over. lesnar, goldberg, hell even the hurricane.

cena needed to have some tarnish at some point. it gives his character, who "needed" the win, something to move forward with. i don't see a heel turn- let that build up even more- but a character shift coming. of course, this being wwe, it could very well mean nothing will change, or maybe you're right and everything changes. but i am highly doubtful the outcome had anything to do with the rock's ego giving him the victory.

Loved HHH/Taker. Rock/Cena was fun too, and loved the ending (as a Rock fan). Kelly Kelly had some good spots. I'd like to see Zack Ryder lose this get the shit beat out of him by Kane and his girlfriend shtick because he seems pretty exciting when he gets to actually wrestle for a bit.

Brock freaking Lesnar.

I wish Paul Heyman had returned with him.

**Brock Lesnar has signed a one-year deal with the company with a limited number of dates for the year. He had been flown into Miami over the weekend and escorted by WWE personnel from the airport and taken to the host hotel, which was under lockdown mode all weekend. Speculation was running rampant regarding when he would debut.

**Scott Steiner was release from TNA today.

**Justin Gabriel will be out a month following an elbow injury suffered at last night's WWE Wrestlemania.

**In a dark match from tonight's WWE RAW in Miami, Dean Ambrose defeated JTG.

**A number of outlets have picked up the story regarding a group of people watching WrestleMania on Sunday as a 14-year old applied a sleeper hold to his 24-year old cousin, who passed out as a result and was later pronounced dead at the hospital from the hold. Among those to pick up the story is Deadspin.

**Christopher Nowinski was among those in the audience Saturday night at the Hall of Fame but not sure if he also attended WrestleMania.

**Billy Gunn was visiting at WrestleMania Sunday and posted a great picture online with Dolph Ziggler. Other former talent at the show included Maria Kanellis, Jimmy Yang, Torrie Wilson, Maryse, Eden Stiles (former announcer and dating Cody Rhodes) and Amy ‘Lita’ Dumas.

**Next year’s WrestleMania weekend is only going to get bigger with Ring of Honor, Dragon Gate USA, EVOLVE and Combat Zone Wrestling all planning to do iPPV events during the weekend and you can probably bank on WrestleReunion being back along with all the usual activities going on. Dragon Gate USA has discussed doing a group ticket where you pay a flat price and can see all the shows under their umbrella, which include DG USA, EVOLVE and potentially CZW, who did a combined show with DG USA this year.

**The WrestleMania 28 DVD and Blu Ray is set for a May 8th release date.

**New Japan Pro Wrestling will be bringing Low Ki back on an upcoming tour.

**Uhaa Nation did not work the Dragon Gate USA iPPV events on Friday and Saturday because he blew his knee out at the DVD taping on Thursday night, which was a combined show with Combat Zone Wrestling.

**Jim Ross was first to report yesterday that ‘Chief’ Jay Strongbow (Joseph Scarpa) had passed away earlier today at the age of 83. Scarpa got into the business in 1947 at the age of 15 and would compete across the U.S. including the Florida and Georgia territories teaming with Don Curtis but made his biggest mark in the Northeast working for the WWWF. Strongbow won the WWWF Tag Team Championship on two occasions with Sonny King and later Billy White Wolf before retiring in 1983. Strongbow was one of the stalwarts with the WWF behind the scenes during the expansion era where he worked as an agent right into the 90’s before he got off the road due to health problems. He had not been in great health over the past couple of months.

**Daniel Bryan cut a promo for the live crowd in Miami after ‘Raw’ went off the air as a complete babyface, plugging the fact he will be getting a new t-shirt as a result of the ‘Yes’ chants. Last night’s crowd may in fact be the catalyst for a total re-examination of the Daniel Bryan character from high mid card heel to someone the company views as a major star and we’ll know their reaction over the next few weeks and how he is positioned on ‘Smackdown’ because last night he felt like the hottest character in wrestling for the two-hours.

**Dean Ambrose (formerly Jon Moxley) defeated JTG in a dark match prior to ‘Raw’ on Monday night and cut a promo for the live crowd. I would expect they will be calling Ambrose up shortly as they typically like to introduce new characters right after WrestleMania and Ambrose would be right at the top of the list of talent in Florida Championship Wrestling.

**There is local advertising out in the Chicago area for WWE ‘Extreme Rules’ advertising CM Punk Vs John Cena and Kane Vs Randy Orton. Based on television last night I think it’s a lock that Punk Vs Cena will not be headlining that show as it appears to be Punk Vs Chris Jericho in some sort of a gimmick match for the title.

**Randy Orton has been taken off of ‘The Marine: Homefront’ movie that WWE Studios was set to begin filming later this year. The Marines are a huge partner with the WWE and were upset Orton was cast in the role considering his past where he deserted the Marines in 1999 and went AWOL. This whole part of Orton’s life was covered on his recent DVD and was even the subject of a promo Mick Foley cut on Orton back in 2003. No word on who will take the spot of Orton but they will likely announce it soon to shift the focus of this story. TMZ covered this story and a WWE representative (who was not identified) told TMZ that the company used poor judgment selecting Orton considering his past. The movie is set to be released in spring of 2013.

**There was an ad that played during ‘Raw’ promoting the special three-hour ‘Raw’ on April 23rd and promoting it as a ‘three-hour extreme edition of Raw’, so it could be a bunch of stipulation matches to build up the pay-per-view that Sunday but that should also be the draw of the PPV in paying to see the stipulation matches.

**The WWE is working on another ECW DVD with matches from the tape library and will be hosted by Joey Styles.

**Bob Trobich has stepped down as the Executive Director of the National Wrestling Alliance.

**A.J. Styles made a crack on Twitter that he has been on Impact for a combined 18-seconds the last two weeks in reference to Daniel Bryan’s match at WrestleMania.

**The WWE ‘Raw’ rating came in at a 3.43 and averaged 5,010,000 viewers and up significant from the weeks leading into WrestleMania 28. The Hall of Fame ceremony drew a 1.86 rating and averaged 2,660,000 viewers and well down from last year’s ceremony, which was headlined by Shawn Michaels going into the Hall of Fame.

**For what it’s worth Gus Ramsey of ESPN is reporting that WrestleMania 28 did 1,900,000 pay-per-view buys, which I cannot even begin to fathom as being legitimate. The all-time record for the WWE is 1,250,000 buys in 2007 for WrestleMania 23 featuring the Hair Vs Hair match involving Donald Trump and Vince McMahon. If the final number is anything above 1.2 million, I would consider it a big success and suffice to say if it’s even in the ballpark of 1.9 you will have WWE employees dancing in the streets and you will never be able to take a criticism towards The Rock with any level of seriousness.

**The Daniel Bryan momentum is really taking off with a ‘Yes’ chant breaking out at the Miami Heat game on Tuesday night as the WWE is racing to release a new t-shirt for Bryan to capitalize. This is one of the strangest results to a squash match I can ever recall and if the WWE capitalizes on this it will be an instant of a truly organic push from the audience that the WWE is acknowledging.

**The WWE crew gets the rest of the week and weekend off before the ‘Raw’ tapings on Monday night and then ‘Smackdown’ tapings next Tuesday. The company then heads overseas for a ten-day, 20-show tour starting in Russia and then into the U.K. including the television tapings the following week.

**Drew McIntyre suffered a shoulder injury during the 12-man tag at WrestleMania on Sunday but continued on with the match. It was clear on television that he was favoring the arm if you watch it back. He is not expected to miss any time from the injury. Justin Gabriel injured his elbow on the pre-show during the three-way tag match is expected to be on the sidelines for a month as a result.

**Jim Ross posted online that The Undertaker, Triple H and Shawn Michaels all requested that Ross call the Hell in a Cell match on Sunday night and Ross said the decision was finalized on Friday night for him to have the call.

**Dean Ambrose worked both on ‘Raw’ and ‘Smackdown’ in dark matches along with a video for the website where he confronted Mick Foley at a hotel so it appears they have plans for a call up any week now.


**Skip Sheffield makes his return to the main roster this Friday on ‘Smackdown’ with a new gimmick. Sheffield had a serious ankle injury that took him off of television and out of Nexus in the summer of 2010 and has been rehabbing his ankle since that time.

**Will Sasso, Sean Hayes and Chris Diamatopoulos from the upcoming ‘Three Stooges’ movie will be guests hosts on ‘Raw’ this Monday night from Washington. D.C. Sasso in particular is a huge fan and even did an angle with Bret Hart back in 1998 on ‘Monday Nitro’ as well as a video last year for ‘Funny or Die’ impersonating Jesse Ventura.

**The WWE stock hit a 52-week low today of $8.55 and closed at $8.57. The stock has taken a major tumble over the past year being as high as $12.93 last April.

**Here is what Scott Steiner has posted on Twitter regarding his issues with TNA:

Read my tweets people, I am not blasting TNA if I do I will let you know. Right now, I'm trying to save TNA because its The Titanic and its sinking fast because Hogan and Bischoff are doing the same bullsh** they did to destroy WCW. It took them 1 1/2 months to drive TNA to its lowest ratings ever. The best way to save it is to jump off and be the voice for the guys that can't say anything.

I have nothing to be bitter about! I have a contract extension signed by TNA officials that under the circumstances that under the circumstances I would not sign.

**TMZ is reporting that former WWE performer Maven Huffman was arrested on Monday after it was discovered he was going to three different doctors within the state of Florida to obtain prescriptions for hydrocodone and oxycodone and obtained a total of 1,000 pills. Huffman was released on a bond of $2,000 and faces up to five-years in prison if convicted. Huffman won the inaugural season of ‘Tough Enough’ in 2001 and was immediately rushed to the main roster where he had a lot of momentum upon his debut but was not ready for the big spotlight and floundered in the undercard for the next few years before being released in 2005.

**Kayfabe Commentaries will present a special live edition of ‘YouShoot’ on June 1st with special guest Vince Russo in Monroe, New Jersey. The Q&A session will air live on WWNLive.com for $14.99. The video below is actually a hell of a promo for the audience they are catering to and whatever you say about Russo, he certainly knows how to sell himself tremendously

I wonder if Lesnar will use his 720 breakdance move he developed when fighting Cain Velasquez in his renewed pro-wrassling career.

By the way, doesn't pro-wrestling loses a bit of it's magic when the most badass guy on it loses an actual fight with by receiving no more than 2 knees and a kick?

Boy the beginning of WWF WrestleMania sure did piss me off~ we spend 65 dollars for that bullshit WHC match between Sheamus O Sheamus and that Bryan Danielson kid. And they could have had a super match, the little hard working technical guy vs the big reheaded giant. Nope they didnt have a match, Bryan turns from kissing his tomboy girlfriend and gets kicked in the head and its over. WHAT THE FUCK!!
Runined the mood for the next match which was Orton versus KAne. The end chokeslam was weak as hell and ORton jobs out to Kane. Man his matches w Christian were great (liike Bryan Sheamus chould have been).
Next up was the Intercontental Championship. COdy Rhodes (C, with the love;y white strapped WWF old style IC belt around him vs the Big Show Paul Wight. Paul Wight wins the title after spearing Cody in the balls and punching him. Isnt that a DQ? Guess not. Paul Wight cries like a baby after winning and kisses his ex wife i think.
The next match was a womens match so i went outside to smoke.
When I retuened it was time for the HELL IN CELL. Wow this match indeed was superb. Not as smooth as it could have been. not alot of technical wrestling, alot of chair shots in which Helmsely blungeioned (sp) the hell out Undertakers back. Great acting by HBK in that hes torn between his 2 lovers. And a nice sastifing finish. This match was great and the whole stadium was into it and the placment of this match satisfied the antisy crowd.

more soon!

okay back from taking the bear dogs out.
That stupid TEAM TEDDY verus TEAM Johnny Match was here.
Johnnys team won.

now the next match i think was the WWF Championship MAtch. Mister Punk versus Mister Jericho. I dont remember much about this except that it started slow, got better toward the end but wasn't excellent wasnt bad, but somewhere in the middle. Oh and Jericho lost as i expected so that sucked for me a big WWF Attitude era fan who really wanted Chris to win his 2nd WWF title. Oh well.

Finally there was the main even which we all bought this for. Duane 'ROCKY "The Rock MAIVIA' Johnson versus john cena.
Rocky dominated the match and hit all his signature moves, including putting cena in the sharpshooter, the match was clean, for the most part in the ring, and what you would expect from these 2 guys as far as thier move sets. Rocky Maivia won via pinfall around the 15 mark pretty decisvly with out many kickouts or false finishes. So yea Rock did indeed put a boot in his ass. Cena lost hard.

SO all in all it was a fun WWF WREstLEManiA !! The awful rap guy the dorky white kid with the elvis costello glasses was awful lip sinking and live micing it. Just terrible, and the black guy FLORIDA was not much better but a little bit. the best musical act was the lovely LILLIAN GARCIA before the event started singing AMERICA: The Beautiful! (as the airplane jet flew over DOlphins' Stadium aka Joe Robbie, aka Pro Player, aka LandSHark...the big one in Miami near 95).

3 point 5 popcorns out of 5

Not if your target demo doesn't watch MMA.

I'm pretty sure that, even if they do, they realize that the WWE is all about the show, not the actual fighting ability...

I find it hysterical that you were worried about that one misspelling.

I liked your recap though. Story-wise, I didn't hate the 18-second match. The others I was in agreement with, although my 10-year old and I were rooting for Cena, but that's because he's from around here.

**Ring of Honor officially announced at the television tapings in Baltimore on Saturday night that the May 12th ‘Border Wars’ show will be an iPPV event in Toronto, Ontario and the card will be headlined by Davey Richards Vs Kevin Steen for the ROH Title with Steen’s piledriver legal for one night only.

**The ‘Raw’ television tapings are in Washington, D.C. tomorrow night with Brock Lesnar advertised for the show. He is currently scheduled for tomorrow night’s show, the April 23rd ‘Raw’ in Detroit and the ‘Extreme Rules’ show on April 29th. Tomorrow night’s crowd is going to be really interesting in terms of how the ‘Yes’ chants are handled and whether it was a one-week occurrence with the WrestleMania crowd sticking around for ‘Raw’ or if it is something that truly catches on. I have gotten lots of feedback from listeners about ‘Yes’ chants breaking out all week long at various sporting events including the Miami Heat game last Tuesday, the Cleveland Indians home opener and last night’s game between the New Jersey Devils and Ottawa Senators. The company has already released a ‘Yes’ t-shirt and will be available Monday night in Washington.

**CNN has a huge story on their site to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first Jerry Lawler Vs Andy Kaufman match in Memphis. There is a funny part of the article where they position Kaufman as a figure in professional wrestling who is shunned with his exclusion from the WWE Hall of Fame being proof of that. The entire story is up at http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/07/us/kaufma ... ?hpt=hp_c1.

**This past Thursday’s edition of ‘Impact Wrestling’ did a 1.13 rating and averaged 1,480,000 viewers.

**Mick Foley has posted that he will be on ‘Smackdown’ this Tuesday night along with Jim Duggan. The original idea was that this show would feature a bunch of the WWE Legends.

**The WWE is planning to release a DVD on The Undertaker’s streak in July and presumably include all twenty matches. Despite the heavy edict from the WWE last year to ignore the Triple H match from WrestleMania 17 in 2001 this year they were much more lax in the build up. They fully acknowledge the match at WWE Axxess with an Undertaker exhibit profiling all of his matches at WrestleMania while the television focus was more central to last year’s match and going for revenge.

**The WWE will hold another three-hour edition of ‘Raw’ on June 11th in Hartford, Connecticut.

**Shane Douglas cuts a promo outside of The Arena in Philadelphia to promote his ‘Extreme Reunion’ event on April 21st:


**Bruno Sammartino will be attending the Ring of Honor show on June 30th in Rostraver, Pennsylvania and signing autographs.

**Billy Corgan’s Resistance Pro Wrestling has signed a television deal with WCIU-TV in Chicago.

**Devon Nicholson and Lanny Poffo chat about their new promotion Hannibal Pro Wrestling that debuts just outside of Ottawa on May 5th featuring Scott Steiner on the card:


**Here is the updated card for TNA ‘Lockdown’ set for next weekend in Nashville, Tennessee:
*Bobby Roode Vs James Storm for the TNA Title
*Team Garret Vs Team Eric in a ‘Lethal Lockdown Match’ with the loser leaving TNA and Eric putting up his last name in the match as well (participants will be announced next week on the final show before the PPV)
*Kurt Angle Vs Jeff Hardy (Yes, even with a torn hamstring Angle will do a cage match just a week before the U.S. trials)
*Crimson Vs Matt Morgan
*Gail Kim Vs Velvet Sky for the Knockout’s Title

**Kurt Angle discusses his chances at the trials in two-weeks:

Many of You asked Me My Chances of Making Olympic Team. I tore my hamstring last Wk. I Have a 50/50 chance. What hurts is I spent 1 Year Training My Butt Off. I Still want to Go to Trials Apr21-22. I have a Shot. But if My injury gets Worse I must Worry @ My TNA Job. That #1 Priority. But Do Not Count Me Out. I'm a Fighter. GOD Bless.

**There were rumours circulating around on Twitter today that Larry Zbyszko had passed away but those are not true. Zbyszko was at WrestleReunion all weekend in Miami and looked in fine spirits all weekend although he did appear to take issue with the parking situation with the front desk (the parking setup was atrocious by the way where you had to park a few blocks away from the hotel and provided Wai and I with a souvenir parking ticket from Miami’s finest).

**The ‘Survivor Series’ is expected to take place Sunday November 18th this year from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the Consol Energy Center.

That looked familiar...(ffwd to 2:10)

**Former WCW wrestler Scotty Riggs recently was rushed to the hospital for stomach ulcers. He will have surgery tomorrow to remove his gallbladder.

**Hulk Hogan's Tampa area home sold for $6.2 million this past week. The house was originally for sale in 2005 for $25 million.

**TNA Impact Wrestling thurs night drew a 0.98 cable rating with 1.4 million viewers.

**Scott Hall was arrested again this past Friday and was charged with domestic battery. Police showed up at Hall’s home around 5pm in Florida after Hall and his girlfriend, Lisa Howell, had gotten into a heated argument and while intoxicated Hall grabbed her by the throat as she attempted to leave in a car. Despite Hall’s denial that he touched her, there were noticeable marks on her throat. Hall was taken to a hospital due to his heavy level of intoxication and was said to have been drinking for days and later transported to the jail. Hall’s lawyer has released a statement denying that his client tried to choke Howell and that Howell is refusing to press charges against Hall.

**Kevin Nash has posted the following statement following Hall’s arrest:

The only person at this point that can help Scott is Scott. Those of you that think otherwise are lost to what addiction is.

**It has been revealed that The Bella Twins contracts with the WWE will expire on April 30th and a representative for the twins has stated they will not be renewing their deals. The two signed with the WWE in 2007 and worked in developmental with Florida Championship Wrestling and were brought up to the main roster in 2008. Both are currently in the U.S. and not on the current tour overseas.

**Kurt Angle confirmed on Twitter Thursday morning that he was officially pulling out of the U.S. Olympic trials next weekend citing a partial MCL tear that he recently suffered. Angle had also claimed over a week ago that he tore his hamstring and worked a match with Jeff Hardy at last week’s television tapings with the hamstring wrapped but moved around without any signs of struggle. I don’t know if anyone took this Olympic bid seriously but I thought he would at least go to the trials after he did an interview saying that failing to show up at the trials would be the worst scenario and for the publicity alone I thought he would do the trials. In his mind he had to know this was nothing more than a pipe dream at the age of 43. If you recall back in 2002 he flirted with the idea of leaving the WWE for an extended period to try out for the U.S. Olympic team for the 2004 Olympics in Greece but after going to the Olympic Training Facility in Colorado Springs he quickly realized just how far the game had advanced in six-years and didn’t pursue the Olympics and that was when he was significantly healthier and younger than in 2012.





**Eric Bischoff posted the following comment regarding ‘Ultimate Fighter Live’ on FX and comparing it to ‘Impact’:

Think we came close to hitting these numbers with a couple episodes of ReAction at 11pm on Spike. Tons of promotion on Fox and FX, a budget 3x bigger than Impact and 500,000 less viewers? Impact has a larger audience than ever, and is going to have a great season with new elements following Lockdown. Can't wait!

**CM Punk won the ‘Most Metal Athlete’ award at the Golden God Awards on Wednesday night. Punk was on the overseas tour and not able to accept the award so they did an angle where host Chris Jericho accepted it on his behalf and broke the trophy and tossed it off the stage.

**Ring of Honor has announced that all ‘Ringside’ members on their website will be able to watch both ‘Showdown in the Sun’ events from WrestleMania weekend for free on the website.

**Jim Cornette and Kayfabe Commentaries have gotten in a public back and forth regarding the June 1st ‘YouShoot Live’ iPPV with Vince Russo. A trailer was released last week that we posted here on the website with host Sean Oliver asking Russo if he thought we would hear from anyone in particular during the broadcast (YouShoot regularly takes questions via video and have had people in the business submit questions) and Russo said he assumed he would hear from someone known for his tennis racquet. Cornette sent out a response stating he would not be a part of the event and it was misleading of Kayfabe Commentaries to falsely advertise Cornette for the event and have fans pay money thinking there will be a confrontation between the two. Kayfabe Commentaries has come back stating they never advertised Cornette and in the past have worked with Cornette where he has issued an open challenge to Russo and was just as misleading. The conclusion being – don’t expect Jim Cornette to submit a question by video for the Vince Russo YouShoot.

**How the final ‘Raw’ before WrestleMania should have ended between The Rock and John Cena:


**Here is the current card for WWE ‘Extreme Rules’ coming up April 29th in Chicago, Illinois:
*John Cena Vs Brock Lesnar
*Sheamus Vs Daniel Bryan in a 2/3 Falls Match for the World Title
