John Cena On Bullying And Trayvon Martin Shooting, Cody Rhodes Interview

As noted earlier, the Associated Press recently posted an article about John Cena and his involvement with the "Be-A-Star" anti-bullying campaign. During the interview, Cena revealed that he started working out to protect himself because "he loved rap and wore hip-hop clothing in a town where it wasn't popular."

"By the time I was 15, I was a built kid, and the comments didn't come so often, and the people making fun of me sort of fell by the wayside," Cena said.

Cena also briefly spoke about the recent killing of 17-year old Trayvon Martin, who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt when he was shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer who claimed he was acting in self-defense.

"I've never seen clothing as a problem," said Cena, noting that "it's the demeanor" that matters. You can check out the full interview by clicking here.

WWE Stars On Nickelodeon Tonight, Edge Talks Watching WrestleMania, More

 2012 WWE Hall of Famer Edge spoke with Tim Baines of The Ottawa Sun. He talked about John Cena vs. The Rock and watching WrestleMania on Sunday:

"The fact that they've been able to have a year build-up is unheard of. It's almost impossible. You look at Savage vs. Steamboat, Andre vs. Hogan ... How do you keep these guys apart for that long. Luckily, with Rock's schedule, it wasn't difficult. As a fan, I'm loving it. I've been watching Triple H and Undertaker and Rock and Cena. Would it be fun to be in their shoes? Sure. But I will sit up in a box with my family and enjoy the show. There will be no pressure, no dangerous bumps and no mid-air spears from Jeff Hardy. Sure there will be moments that I wish I was in there. I'm sure it was the same with Brett Favre and John Elway where they were watching football and thinking: 'I wish I had made that play.'"

- Media in Miami are reporting that 30,000 WWE fans from out of town are in the city for WWE's WrestleMania 28 festivities.

- Kelly Kelly, Big Show and The Miz will be featured on the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards tonight. Kelly is up for an award while Miz and Show will be competing for the first-ever Slime Wrestling Championship.

WWE legend, explains why the WWE should bring the rock

We will be publishing our recent interview with The Honky Tonk Man WWE legend Monday. We've covered a large number of topics, including his title of Intercontinental Champion, what he said to Eric Bischoff which made angry, why he would not drop the title to Randy Savage, but would be The Ultimate Warrior and much more. During the interview, talks about Honky on why WWE must bring back the old stars such as The Rock.

"I hear that There ain't no star," he says. "Ain't no star more." People always me what is the problem with company. I say: "well, when you have Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole as your semi-main events or your great angles of WrestleMania last year." Then you must bring the Rock and "Stone Cold" (Steve Austin) previous, you obviously no star on your list.

"I mean, if you look at it logically;" Why would they have to bring these guys? You are person y worth a damn.... None of the Championship belts mean nothing. When you need to bring the Rock and give him a 10-20 million for WrestleMania, it simply means that you don't have anyone on your list who is a s & t. Excuse my French or English or anything, but it's just that it is. »

Honky Tonk Man stressed its angle with Santino Marella in 2008 as an example of the way in which the company has changed its day.

"When I went back and a Cyber Sunday with Santino Marella, it was all scripted." All that was written on paper. You have to study it in Hollywood. There, as, ' Man. Come on. I have to study this stuff. I know what I need to do. »

"You need to get out and it repeat and say this way." They begin to repeat and as two or three in the afternoon until five or 06 during the night. Even come through the curtain and down are repeated. There, like, ' Man, give me a break! I don't know how to get off the damn driveway! » »

Make sure you check again this Monday for our interview with The Honky Tonk Man.

Avoid This Subject Around Vince McMahon About The Undertaker

Avoid This Subject Around Vince McMahon About The Undertaker On a recent interview with Wade Keller on the PWTorch Livecast (click to subscribe in iTunes), former WWE Creative Team member Andrew Goldstein revealed one subject he learned quickly you are not to bring up around Vince McMahon when it comes to the Undertaker. Here's an excerpt of the interview where he talks about learning one of many of the unwritten rules of Vince McMahon and WWE:

"It's a machine," he explained. "You just have no perception of how much of a well-oiled machine it is and when you step in there it doesn't stop for you. It's a freight train. It keeps going. You come in there on your first day. It's not, 'Alright, welcome. Let's get to know this new guy. Let's get him up to speed.'

"It's a freight train and you're just running along side it and you jump in the side car and you're just along for the ride and you gotta catch up to speed on your own. They're not stopping to catch you up on, well, when you have a meeting with Vince don't bring up Undertaker when he was the American Badass because Vince hates that. Nobody tells you that thing, those picky things that Vince or Stephanie and Michael Hayes [don't like]. There's no guidebook. Reality was 100 percent different than I thought it was going to be."

C.M. Punk Discusses His Straight Edge Lifestyle, His Feud With Chris Jericho & More

 is over the quota Yesterday, WWE champion C.M. Punk was interviewed on CBS in Atlanta. During the discussion, Punk talked about; his straight edge lifestyle, his feud with Chris Jericho and more. Here are some of the highlights:

On what it feels like being WWE champion after more than a decade of hard work: "Mission accomplished. But there's still a lot of work to do. My life has always been about goals. I set small goals for myself and you work your way towards those and you accomplish the big ones. There's still stuff I have to do.

"Being the champ is awesome. I get to reach a lot of people, spread my messages straight edge and P.M.A. (Positive Mental Attitude). All kinds of stuff that I want to get out there to the kids. On my way to bigger and better things hopefully."

On why he lives a straight edge lifestyle: "I was born that way. I feel strongly about it. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't do drugs. I'm not necessarily preachy about it, but if there's a kid that can take away (from me) that you don't have to be peer-pressured into drinking to fit in or be successful; mission accomplished.

On Chris Jericho and how their feud has developed: "I love it. I love mind games. I think it adds a little bit of a personal slant to our match. If it's just, 'I'm going to beat you up. No, I'm the best. No, I'm the best.' It can be a little boring.

"... It is what it is. Chris Jericho is one of those guys that thinks he can; leave wrestling and try to go on to greener pastures, fails at doing a litany of other things and then come back and still be successful at wrestling. But then there's guys like me who have filled the void he left. He can try to get back on top of the mountain, but he's got to go through me."

David Otunga Talks Dream Opponent, His Favorite WrestleMania Moment, Jitters

The Los Angeles Times posted a short interview with David Otunga about this Sunday's WrestleMania XXVIII pay-per-view. Here are some highlights:

If there is more pressure competing at WrestleMania: "Yes. Absolutely. WrestleMania truly is our Super Bowl. It's the time that you dream about. I have been imaging my WrestleMania moment forever and I have built it up so much in my head that I want it to be perfect. You are going to have so many eyes watching you ? it's the best of the best. The pressure is on to have a really good showing."

His favorite WrestleMania moment: "Without a doubt, when Hogan slammed Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III. That was huge for me. I remember being a kid watching a VS tape and watching it over and over again. It was just so cool to see your hero do something that was seemingly impossible. It was an awesome feat of strength."

Who he would face if he could transport any wrestler from history in the prime of their career: "I am going to say Andre the Giant. He was the original giant. He was unbelievable. I think that would be an awesome dream match."

WWE Issues Statement On Ric Flair's Status For WWE Hall Of Fame

Source: WWE.com

WWE has confirmed that Ric Flair will be appearing at the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony this Saturday in Miami.

F4WOnline reported last week that TNA was open to Flair appearing, and wasn't asking for much in return from WWE. It's unlikely that WWE will plug TNA's product, but there may be some form of compensation for TNA allowing WWE to use Flair.

CM Punk Pays Respect To Arn Anderson, Note From Ryback Vs. Alex Riley Match

CM Punk Pays Respect To Arn Anderson, Note From Ryback Vs. Alex Riley Match - There was a situation at the RAW event in Charlotte last night where Alex Riley appeared to be injured after losing a squash match to "Ryback" Skip Sheffield. Riley stayed in the ring holding his head after the match and was helped to the back by referee Charles Robinson, according to a fan in attendance.

- After CM Punk defeated Dolph Ziggler in the main event of the Charlotte event last night, he introduced wrestling legend Arn Anderson to the crowd. Punk called Arn someone going into the Hall of Fame who never got the credit he deserved. Anderson came out with John Cena.

Anderson said he brought Cena out because he felt that the spotlight should always be on a wrestler. Anderson talked about going into the Hall of Fame before the Horsemen music began to play and he embraced Cena and Punk. Anderson left up the ramp and was greeted by most of the RAW roster. One fan in attendance noted that the feeling of respect between the WWE talents and "The Enforcer" was very obvious.

Mick Foley Teases Return To WWE Storylines, Lilian Garcia Teasing Continues

Mick Foley Teases Return To WWE Storylines, Lilian Garcia Teasing Continues -- Mick Foley, who has not appeared on WWE programming since the Royal Rumble, teased a return to company storylines Sunday night via Twitter as he said he received voice-mails from SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long.

"Guess it's about time I listen to some of these voice-mails from Teddy Long. Wonder what he wants. Catch you all tomorrow," he wrote. However, he suggested minutes later it was a joke, writing, "No big deal. Teddy was just hoping I had Buff Bagwell's number - apparently, it's pretty important."

Foley is scheduled for an upcoming WWE show as he will appear at the April 9 Raw SuperShow taking place at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C.

-- WWE ring announcer Tony Chimel took a jab at Lilian Garcia at Saturday's SmackDown live event in Bowling Green, Kentucky as during a mic check he announced "1, 2, Long Island Iced Z, Jack Swagger!" This was in reference to Garcia's mistake at Tuesday's SmackDown taping in Newark, New Jersey where she introduced Ryder as "Long Island Iced Z, Jack Swagger." John Cena ridiculed Garcia's ring announcing ability after the taping had concluded, proclaiming to the live audience, "She looks absolutely beautiful, but doesn't know what the hell she's doing!"

Michael Cole Using Ex-WWE Star's Entrance Theme, Bret Hart Critiques The Rock, Carlito-Finlay

Michael Cole Using Ex-WWE Star's Entrance Theme, Bret Hart Critiques The Rock, Carlito-Finlay -- WWE commentator Michael Cole began using former WWE star Kerwin White's entrance theme "Never Thought My Life Could Be This Good" at last week's tapings. Chavo Guerrero portrayed the short-lived character in 2005, which was depicted as stereotypical, middle-class, white, conservative, Anglo-American man. The death of Eddie Guerrero led to Chavo dropping the character and wrestling under his real name as a fan favorite.

-- As noted yesterday, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tweeted a photo Sunday of himself applying the Sharpshooter. Bret Hart, who popularized the maneuver, saw the picture and said he's doing it wrong.

"I have a lot of respect for The Rock, but I'd be more than happy 2 teach him how to put the sharpshooter on correctly," he wrote.

-- Carlito defeated Finley at Big Time Pro Wrestling event on Sunday in Augusta, Maine. He said of his opponent on Twitter following the match, "I'm surprised WWE hasn't rehired Finlay yet."

Finlay was released by WWE March 2011 after authorizing the interruption of the American national anthem by The Miz during a house show, drawing ire from the National Guard members in attendance. He has regularly competed on the independent circuit since then.

Triple H Says There's A "Weird Line Of Reality That Isn't Crossed" With WWE

Source: The Miami Herald

The Miami Herald has a new article up looking at the entertainment side to WrestleMania 28. Here are some quotes from Triple H:

"We're a unique business. If I go on the Jay Leno show, I stay in character. He wants to interview Triple H, not Paul Levesque who plays Triple H. There's a weird line of reality that isn't crossed.

"I know it's confusing to the fans sometimes. Guys get fired or quit on-stage, and people aren't sure whether it's real or not. The best example of that, I think, was when we had Vince McMahon killed in a car bomb. Donald Trump, who's a big WWE fan and a friend of Vince, called and said, 'I know it's probably just part of the story... but could you just tell me if Vince is OK?' We're like the last magicians: Is it real? Or Unreal? Nobody knows.

"When you look at the real world, a lot of people feel that way about their jobs. They're thinking, 'this is a terrible place to work, my boss is an idiot, I don't want to work there anymore.' But they can't go into the office and hit their boss over the head with a GPS, which is what [WWE wrestler] Stone Cold Steve Austin did to McMahon. For blue-collar people disgruntled with their lives, it's a great fantasy."

Trish Stratus Discusses WWE HOF, Edge, Phoenix Vs. Kharma, Rock Vs. Cena & More

Source: The Miami Herald

Former WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus spoke with The Miami Herald about acting, WrestleMania and more this past week. Trish revealed that currently she has no plans to attend the big event in Miami next Sunday. Here are some highlights from the in-depth interview:

Edge's Hall of Fame induction and herself going in: "I'm so proud of him. I think Adam does deserve it. I think it's very fitting the way his career came to an end. This is just an amazing exclamation point for that. For me, of course, it was like winning the women's championship. I went into the business hoping to become the best women's wrestler ever and winning the women's championship was the ultimate goal. As I wrapped up my career the ultimate goal was to leave a legacy and be remembered for everything I did. So a WWE Hall of Fame induction is something that would be a way of recognizing that. One could only hope."

A second season of Tough Enough: "Absolutely zero word. I think there is a focus on the launch of the WWE Network, and that is a huge undertaking. I think once there is a clear idea on individual programming, I think that is when we will get a clear idea if or when there would be a season two. It's a timing thing. I had a great time doing it. When they called me, I happened to be available. So if I'm available, and they have me back, of course I would entertain it."

The Rock vs. John Cena: "It's hard for me to answer that question because I can answer as a fan or a booker. To be honest, after watching in the past weeks, I'm not sure what they are going to do. Vince is sneaky. The minute you think he is going to go this way, there is a swerve on you. It was like my WrestleMania with [Chris] Jericho. I thought we were going walk away as this new babyface couple until I got there that day when I found out I was about to have my heel turn. I'm telling you eight months of storyline leading up to me and Jericho being the big babyface couple who were going to be this sarcastic. corky, babyface couple that we really haven't seen before. We were really excited about it. Vince brought us into a room and said, 'You know, I have this idea.' Nobody knew what to think. His instinct was super dead on. It really took my career in a whole different direction, which was great. Vince has that way of dealing it out. I'm just interested and going in not know what is going to happen. I'm feeling it is going to be as iconic as the Hulk Hogan/Rock match at WrestleMania 18 with that same energy in the building. I'm excited to see that."

How she would have booked Divas at WrestleMania 28: "If I was booking it, I would have had Kharma and Beth run strong leading up to 'Mania. I think that would be an epic match. I really do. I would love to see those two go. It's funny how Twitter can give you a real pulse about what the fans are thinking. Initially, people were telling me that Beth and I would be amazing. Then of course Kharma came back at the Royal Rumble and people said Kharma and I would be amazing. Now, with the Eve storyline, they are saying Eve and I would be amazing. So it's interesting to see the minute there is a highlight on TV I get that. Kharma coming back was an exciting moment because they saw her and Beth as two characters that can really see go."

The Rock Talks Why He Returned To WWE, His Ex-Wife's Influence

Sources: Variety,PWInsider

Variety has a new article up this week looking at how Dwayne Johnson embraced The Rock and returned to WWE.

The Rock has built his own management team in recent years that is led by his ex-wife Dany. Rock's new management team and his ex-wife helped him embrace The Rock name again and return to action.

"I'm back for no other reason than to entertain the fans that had been so good to me over the years," Rock explained. "It's not about the dollar. I've been very fortunate. When you go out there and you perform, it becomes really magical. So to be able to go back and create the biggest match of all time for them means the world to me. I took the biggest risk of my life by leaving WWE when I was on top. To be able to go back means the world to me."

Matt Hardy Talks Being Out Of Rehab, Wellness Policy, WWE's Grueling Schedule

Matt Hardy spoke to The Poughkeepsie Journal about wrestling Matt Taven at WrestleFest 16 tomorrow night, March 23rd in Poughkeepsie, New York. Hardy's girlfriend, Reby Sky, will be facing former WWE Diva Melina on the card. Hardy credits Reby for him working the independent circuit.

"The main reason I'm doing these shows is because of her," said Hardy. "One of my goals is to help her realize her dream of being an in-ring competitor. I promise it will be entertaining."

It's been a wild year for Hardy, who recently completed a WWE-sponsored rehab program. After the turbulent year that he's endured, Hardy says he's in a good place.

"I'm at a really good place in life right now," he admitted. "The things I went through in life were life-changing and changed the way I think. I want to appreciate every day in life."

While Hardy was appreciative for the WWE's Wellness Policy and paying for his rehab, he was critical of the company's grueling schedule.

"There is a huge positive side to what WWE does with the Wellness Policy," Hardy said. "The only thing I can really be critical of WWE about, looking at it right now, is that they have to remember that the people who work there aren't machines. Wrestling isn't easy. It's like a car crash. I wish they would give guys a few weeks off. I think guys need to take mandatory time off. I know it's tough when they need to promote the key names, but they need to keep guys healthy. It would help them not to burn out and from tempting them to make mistakes."

Northeast Wrestling's WrestleFest 16 takes place tomorrow night, March 23rd at the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York. In addition to Hardy vs. Taven, Velvet Sky vs. Melina, John Morrison vs. Fit Finlay, Jerry Lawler, Tommy Dreamer and more have been announced for the event.

Joey Styles Joins In On Lilian Garcia Mockery, WWE Site Wants Ranjin Singh Back

WWE website content director Joey Styles has joined in on the company's semi-frequent mockery of ring announcer Lilian Garcia as he took to Twitter to poke fun at her announcing miscue at Tuesday's SmackDown taping in Newark, New Jersey.

After Garcia stated on the microblogging site that she would be performing with her band Thursday night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, California, he wrote to her, "Tonight will you be announcing yourself at the Hard Rock Cafe as Lilian Garcia or @RealJackSwagger? :) @ZackRyder @JohnCena." His comment was retweeted by Ryder.

During Tuesday's show, Garcia erroneously introduced Ryder as "Long Island Iced Z, Jack Swagger" for his match against Jack Swagger. This led to John Cena hauling out ring announcer Tony Chimel for his post-show dark match since he "knows what he's doing," unlike Garcia. Cena had Chimel properly introduce Ryder, but WWE production coordinators kept cutting of his microphone in a practical joke. Cena then properly introduced Ryder himself.

The ordeal was done by WWE brass to publicly embarrass Garcia, who has been subject to various forms of humiliation numerous times throughout her career.

-- WWE.com has published an article demanding the return of The Great Khali's former mouthpiece Ranjin Singh.

WWE.com writes, "The Great Khali is known the world over for his immense stature, but one-time mouthpiece Ranjin Singh played a giant role in The Punjabi Giant's ascension in WWE. Singh's many memorable antics included narrating the beloved "Khali Kiss Cam," and WWE.com thinks it's time to bring him back!"

John Cena Discusses Growing Up A Wrestling Fan, Younger Talent, Dream Matches & More

 Cena was interviewed by BeneathTheMat.com at the Mix106.1 Studios in Philadelphia discussing a number of topics. During the interview, Cena discussed; growing up a wrestling fan, younger talent and his dream opponent outside of The Rock. Here are the highlights:

On how enjoyment of wrestling as a young kid: "I'm like a lot of our young fans out there in the WWE Universe today. I watched as a young kid. I tried to emulate my favorite superstars of the time. Back then, it was; Hulk Hogan, Koko B. Ware, 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan, the Ultimate Warrior. I grew up with it.

"It's a business that not a lot of people are in. But I truly believe that -- and I've traveled the world eight to ten times over -- everyone always has a story about wrestling. If they don't watch WWE currently, they're always like, 'Oh. I remember when!' From Gorgeous George to Bruno Sammartino to (Bob) Backlund to anyone. They always have an 'I remember when' story. I was that kid. I grew up with it."

On the "spinner belt" and if he came up with the concept: "I absolutely [did]. I'm the one that needs to be tied to a stake and burned as a witch. I'm the one who 'disgraced the WWE championship'. Side note: The WWE spinning championship is not only the most requested item for anyone who wants any item from the WWE -- and that goes for Aaron Rodger's Green Bay Packers people -- but it's also the most sold item of all time. So, disgrace or not? I guess the debate will continue.

"I don't know if it will go back to the winged eagle but -- being the guy who truly invented it -- it needs to change. It has been the way it's been for years now. It's had it's run. It doesn't even spin anymore. It's heavy, it's awkward. It really is. An average championship belt weighs about 12 pounds. The current WWE spinning championship weighs 27 pounds. We need a rehash. I'm proactively try to do that. I only have so much stroke, guys. [Laughs.] I can't do everything."

On whether or not he ever gets upset about being booed: "No, not at all. One of my greatest lessons about the business was from Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels; 'If they're really loud, it's really good.' He didn't say, 'If they're really positive, it's really good.' He said, 'If they're really loud, it's really good.'

"Our job is to make people escape and to make people enjoy and be entertained. I don't care if they like me or they don't. I'm me and that's where they attachment is."

On which under-used or unsigned wrestler he sees something in: "I just saw Seth Rollins have a dark match in Cleveland. I've heard a lot about him. Not a real guy that I followed a lot in FCW. Man, was I impressed with his dark match. I thought he did unbelievable.

"For those that don't know -- opening contest. I shouldn't use dark match, it's opening contest. He had the first match of the night and he did extremely well.

"I think under-used right now (is) Dolph Ziggler, definitely. Zack Ryder was amazing for our November-December run and has kind of fallen off the face of the Earth. I've often said this: Look for great things out of Cody Rhodes. He's already doing great things but that kid won me over when he inducted his dad into the Hall of Fame. An unknown just came and knocked it out of the park with a public speaking engagement. I thought he was unreal.

"I think it's a great time for WWE because we're in that transition that we were in in 2002. I think it's me and Randy (Orton) left. We're the old guys now. We're ten years in the game and we're looking at a new group of people. It's a really exciting time..."

On which wrestler throughout time he would want to wrestler aside from The Rock: "My answer is The Rock but that's OK. You said except for The Rock. One more, I would say Steve Austin just because The Rock and Steve are so polarizing.

"Steve's had health issues in the past but I've seen him recently. I don't know if you saw him on Tough Enough. He's in the ring and he's in great shape. He can certainly still talk the talk. I know it's a time machine-type hypothetical scenario. I know he has one more match left in him. I just hope I'm the guy on the other side of the ring."

Hawkins Training With The Rock, Backstage Note On The Undertaker, RAW Next Week

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

- At next week's RAW Supershow from Atlanta, WWE will be taping some matches for the go-home WrestleMania edition of SmackDown. The rest of SmackDown will be made up of footage from Axxess.

- Curt Hawkins has been the main guy training with The Rock to help get him in ring shape for the WrestleMania 28 match against John Cena.

- Back on the March 12th RAW Supershow, The Undertaker messed up and said WrestleMania was on April 21st instead of April 1st. It was noted that a sign of the respect that Taker has backstage was that not one talent publicly brought up the error. Had it been anyone else, there would have been several people making fun of them.

The Miz vs. Sheamus lost 279,000 viewers while the Randy Orton interview and Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler lost 151,000 viewers.

The final segment with Shawn Michaels, Triple H and The Undertaker gained 597,000 viewers, which is below average, but the 3.32 overrun rating was still the highest rated point of the show.

- The Great Khali is appearing in a new French movie called "Sur La Piste du Marsupilami."

- Randy Orton missed the WWE Supershow in Providence, Rhode Island because he was said to be sick with the stomach flu, but worked the show at Madison Square Garden the next night.

- The WWE Supershow on March 16th in Montreal drew 8,000 fans for $335,000. The show in Providence was a sellout with 8,500 fans for $290,000.

- Talents in FCW that are considered as the guys who are most ready for a main roster spot include Husky Harris, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Damien Sandow.

Husky Possibly Returning To WWE TV, Praise For Shaul Guerrero In FCW, More

- WWE officials have been trying to crack down on footage from live events being published on YouTube.

- FCW Divas Champion and Queen of FCW Raquel Diaz (Shaul Marie Guerrero) has been praised for being versatile in being able to change characters and do promos off the top of her head, learn from her mistakes, take criticism well and having a great attitude. It was noted that several women have showed up to FCW for tryouts knowing nothing at all about wrestling so the ones who do know something are able to stand out.

- WWE officials have a new gimmick in mind for Husky Harris and he is on the radar to be brought back to the main roster. Husky has dropped from more than 300 pounds to 285 since we last saw him as a regular on WWE TV.

WWE NXT Recap: Striker Kidnapped, Regal Gets Foot Massage, Kidd Vs. McGillicutty

The show begins with the NXT video package. Matthews and Regal are on commentary. Matt Striker is in the ring. He says Regal has made 4 matches for the evening. The main event will be Tyson Kidd vs. Michael McGillicutty.

Curt Hawkins vs. Justin Gabriel

The two men lock-up; Gabriel gets the upper-hand. He whips Hawkins into the corner and follows-up with a splash. Gabriel then goes to the apron and springboards off the top rope with a high cross-body, but Hawkins moves, causing Gabriel to land face-and-belly-first on the mat. Hawkins capitalizes with a knee to the gut. Hawkins hits a nice bodyslam for a near fall. Gabriel works his way up and springs off the ropes but Hawkins baseball-slides under the bottom rope to the outside. Hawkins tells Regal he runs this show. Back in the ring, Gabriel moves as Hawkins charges him in the corner; Gabriel jumps on the second turnbuckle and hits a back-kick to Hawkins' face. Gabriel hits the 450 Splash for the win.

Winner by pin: Justin Gabriel (5:00)

Hawkins stares Regal down as he sells the move and walks away.
Kaitlyn and Bateman are backstage walking hand-in-hand. They run into Tamina; she is happy for them. The couple leaves. Titus O'Neil and Darren Young come into the shot. Titus is wearing a suit and he is doing his best Arsenio Hall-from-Coming to America-preacher-impression. He calls her a goddess and tells her that he's taken but Darren wants to take her out. Darren awkwardly begins to ask her out when the Uso's come into the shot and say no. The four men insult each other. The Uso's say they will see them in the ring and walk away. Tamina walks away with a disgusted look. Titus tells Young he needs to get with her but for now he should focus. Darren Young vs. Jimmy Uso is next

(Commercial)

Darren Young vs. Jimmy Uso w/Jey

The two men trade elbows and chops to the chest. Jimmy stomps Young in the corner. Young tries to leave up the ramp but Jimmy catches him and sends him back in. Jey is on commentary. Young throws Jimmy over the top, to the outside.

(Commercial)

Back in the ring, Young is punching Jimmy in the head down on the mat. Regal informs us that during the break the crowd was chanting, "No one knows you," at Young. Young is in full control of Jimmy. Jimmy counters Young on the turnbuckle and kicks him in the back of the head. Jey leaves the booth and begins and "Uso" chant with the crowd. It works because Jimmy hits 2 clotheslines and a back bodydrop on Young. Jimmy hits the running StinkFace. Young kicks out at 2. Young avoids a high-flying attempt from Jimmy and throws him shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. Young hits a modified GTS, where he falls to his back and puts both knees up, and letting Jimmy crash down on them. He gets the pin.

Winner by pin: Darren Young (5:00)

Jey checks on his brother. Backstage, Tamina is looking on, on a monitor while Young celebrates. Titus shows up and tells her to take the night off.
Josh Matthews gets a text on his phone saying his car is gone; he gets up and leaves.

They cut to Maxine telling Johnny Curtis that while Matthews goes to look for his car, she can get next to Regal; she wants off the show. Striker walks past them from around the corner and Curtis smothers him from behind with chloroform, apparently thinking it was Matthews. Maxine fusses at him. They dump Striker in one of those blue equipment crates. Maxine leaves for the announce booth and tells Curtis to stay put. Rhianna...err Alicia Fox walks by; Curtis hits on her; she is disgusted; he creepily follows her.

More On The Ric Flair/Hall Of Fame Situation Between WWE And TNA

More On The Ric Flair/Hall Of Fame Situation Between WWE And TNA

Source: F4WOnline

WWE and TNA are still negotiating regarding Ric Flair appearing at the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in Miami. At last word, no deal has been made yet but it's said that TNA isn't asking for much in return from WWE. TNA is said to be very open to allowing Flair on WWE TV.

Regarding the negotiations, there's no word yet on what TNA is asking for. Don't look for WWE to plug TNA's product in any way but there will likely be some form of compensation for TNA allowing WWE to use their talent.

A WWE source notes that The Rock's references to Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair on Monday's RAW Supershow were an indication that in WWE's general universe, TNA does not exist.

Billy Gunn talks fall of Tag teams, WrestleMania, catch & More

New Age Outlaw Billy Gunn joined Busted Open with Dave Lagreca and Doug Mortman. You can hear Busted Open 2-4 and 94 of Sirius and XM 208 Sportszone 860 on the internet. Here are a few highlights:

At WrestleReunion: "Yeah, it will be a lot of fun! I mean, it will be so much things going in Miami due to the non-only WrestleReunion, Wrestlemania, all the rest; It will be crazy. But it is going to be many fun?I mean?once me and Brian ([Road Dog Jesse James] get together, not same Wrestlemania may overshadow us!) »

Tag team wrestling today: "Right now, I think that all the tags are a little low, particularly WWE." If you know something about this company you know that they are not high on the labels anyway; It's simple and that their large single race can be. »

The fall of the struggle of tag team: "This is just something unnerving me, and he has confused everyone that I spoke to, and they always ask the same question:" why labels step spread all that it y? And I can never answer that I can never give a good reason. May be because there is no stand-out good tag-teams. Or maybe it's guys Don't wanna be in tags more because everyone is so worried for themselves that they Don't wanna have to worry about someone else. Because when you are in a tag, you gotta gel at least a little to work anyway. "I do not have a great response to that, I would like just that they could put more emphasis in the tag division.

The State of the fight: "I think it's looking a little." Poor John Cena - not "poor John Cena" money-wise - but poor John Cena! He led the company for a long time. Any person said, matter what people say about him, or what they do, he led the company on his back a long time. Now, they mix type of place the pot. I know that they did of Wrestlemania after a year with him and [the] Rock; They must bring something with that high of a personality to kick things kinda by train because it is more a little Rassi. And they began to do with CM Punk. Punk began to speak of the company of shit and all what stirred in turn question what was going on. Started tuning and get a little bit more. In the era Attitude, you did not get just struggle; you have all sorts of crazy stuff. This is what it was called: entertainment. You've distracted the minute Raw began the minute that it was finished, to you default to default more. What was the show, it is that Raw has been all about the era Attitude: what makes you want more. They will leave you hanging you just do yum the ILO during the week to address next week. Now watch you the program that you are watching an episode of "The Flinstones" or something. There is nothing to keep your attention, or anything to make you go Woah! It is now that the catch! You know, we are all parents now?, they are constantly telling their children the Attitude Era?The Rock, Stone Cold, DX, humanity. There are a whole series of people! Now, when you mention the catch it is John Cena. Step that it is wrong, but it is where you get lost. There is nothing just really interesting on the show. »

Wrestlemania: "This is the only thing more dramatic with which I have never been involved." From right after the [Royal] Rumble, begin to get goosebumps because it is that good, it is as much pleasure it is that entertaining. This is an event that you never, never, never will discover in your life that you did live. You can watch it on television, but until you are, you have no idea how fun it is. WrestleMania is the number one of the year, and they prove because they hold nothing back. They let it all the rip? it is phenomenal. It is probably the greatest thing on Earth, for me at least. »

Roddy Piper said it will be at WrestleMania, Cena & Rock included talks do not on the pit of Piper

Wrestling voice Radio presented the first episode of the series "Time WrestleMania" who spoke of Duane Doogan with the WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at WrestleMania. Here are a few highlights:

His time preferred WrestleMania: "I should say the first WrestleMania, no there was no hand-book for her, there was much tension between the guys, (Hulk) Hogan & me, Orndoff (Mr) t, Snuka (Jimmy) was there, he felt injured.". Bob Orton was there, Mohamed Ali was the Special Adjudicator. It was just everywhere, then when you went over there in the night, there were no Fireworks or anything, but did you not need him. These people never stopped. Tension in this real important, because after the first, they were a little more than a road map, but the first they found the kind of inside and that was certainly the more difficult but I think it was the best of all time, because it set the mark for everything to come. »

Back in 2009, 25 years later to face again at the event and still be a draw: "Well I just hangs up the phone and I'll be at WrestleMania 28, and I think that that is a strong statement, if I am still a Pavilion at WrestleMania 28 and I started 14 years before there was a WrestleMania anything, control and product of Roddy Piper has proven time and again and that is why they call him an icon.."

Why the Rock & of John Cena appeared on Piper Pit: "Unless they are trying to give birth Monday, and I am just contact them now." It takes a lot of guts to go on Piper Pit, I saw other people and make this show? and none of them come close. The reason is, it is dangerous here, and I am not sure that the WWE wants to risk it is two stars in this area. I think that it is closest to the truth. »
