What’s the latest update on the return of Kane? Will he come back wearing the mask? I reported here on Richard’s Backstage Blog early in November there were discussions taking place to bring back Kane. The first plan was for Survivor Series then there were ideas for Royal Rumble. WWE has since launched a video [...]
Who is your pick for Superstar of the Year? My pick is Alberto Del Rio. The Slammy Awards are kayfabed but CM Punk is my runaway pick for Superstar of the Year. Punk clearly established himself as a main event talent in 2011 and revitalized the entire WWE fanbase this summer. Alberto Del Rio has [...]
Why is WWE burying Jack Swagger? Jack Swagger is a very unique talent in terms of the way he’s been pushed. The WWE office was very high up on him coming out of developmental as they pushed him on ECW to the top of the brand as ECW Champion. In 2010, he became Mr. Money [...]
Given the recent articles featured on WWE.com such as a revamp of the John Cena character, a new WWE Championship belt or the return of the Hardcore Title is WWE listening to the Internet and are these changes happening? There is no way I can give you an accurate answer of what is featured on [...]
Whatever happened to Bret Hart? He was touring with WWE earlier this year but is now nowhere to be found. Bret Hart still has a good relationship with WWE but does not have a recurring role on television. While Bret is a WWE Hall of Famer and a Legend, he’s limited in what he can [...]
How much stroke does a main event talent have in WWE? For example, can they approach Vince McMahon and request a title shot? Title shots come down to the right situation and are ultimately guided under the direction of the WWE writing team and of course Vince McMahon. While a main event worker has more [...]
What are your thoughts on the current status of CM Punk in WWE? I believe he’s the only guy since John Cena and Randy Orton to get elevated to the top of the company. I place CM Punk exactly where you are placing him in terms of active top stars in WWE – John Cena [...]
WWE has this anti-bully campaign going on meaning that they’re against bullying yet they feature things that are associated with bullying such as Jerry Lawler’s irritating fat jokes towards Vickie Guerrero and Jim Ross being humiliated and insulted about his health problems. Does this make WWE hypocritical? The WWE “Be A Star” anti-bullying campaign is [...]
With WWE breaking up Awesome Truth, what’s next for The Miz? The plan to break up Awesome Truth was last minute as I had heard prior to Monday’s Raw Supershow there were plans to keep them together. It was pretty common knowledge that R-Truth was also seen smoking Spice, so apparently WWE decided to go [...]
Is CM Punk the biggest star in WWE besides The Rock? CM Punk is finally established as a main event name but he’s still viewed behind John Cena and Randy Orton. I realize a lot of people are sick and tired of the Cena character but that’s still the way it is. The Rock is [...]
Did WWE miss a perfect opportunity to turn John Cena heel following last night’s Survivor Series main event? As I reported yesterday here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com Premium, Vince McMahon has been adamant about not turning John Cena heel even though the writers understand he’s the heel in the program with The Rock regardless of how he [...]
In yesterday’s Ask WNW you mentioned that Vince McMahon is not high up on the Survivor Series gimmick. Why? Survivor Series 2009 did 235,000 buys which was sharply down from 319,000 buys from the year prior. While I loudly maintained it was because UFC had a show the night before, Vince McMahon said in an [...]
I have heard there have been backstage/real life tension between The Rock and Triple H in the past. Is this true, and if so what’s the situation now? From what I understand Triple H and The Rock have never been friends and don’t see eye-to-eye. I know I’ve written about it before but I don’t [...]
Do you think Mark Henry should hold the World Heavyweight Championship until Wrestlemania XXVIII and face Daniel Bryan? If Daniel Bryan made Henry submit, would that make him a legitimate threat in WWE? I would be all for Mark Henry holding the World Heavyweight Championship until Wrestlemania XXVIII and finally being defeated by Daniel Bryan. [...]
Do you think the WWE is moving further away from the PG style? With the way The Rock was leading the crowd with his “Boots to Asses” chant seems like they are either moving further away. Or do you think they are just giving Rock more lenience? WWE has “spiced things up” for the past [...]
Why is Batista a DLC character in WWE ’12? Does this have anything to do with a possible return? Does Batista benefit at all being in the game? Batista being a downloadable character in WWE ’12 does not necessarily mean he is returning to WWE. I’ve always thought Batista would come back for a retirement [...]
Why isn’t WWE calling up people from FCW like Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose? They are much more talented than some of the people on the current roster and should really get a chance to appear on television. They say patience is a virtue and that’s exactly what you have to have with talented developmental [...]
With WWE mentioning why John Cena would ask The Rock to team with him, are they flirting with the idea of Cena turning on The Rock? Wouldn’t that make sense on why Cena would ask for The Rock’s help, seeing that he really doesn’t need his help? I am sure you are talking about the [...]
Do you feel the outcome of The Rock vs. John Cena at Wrestlemania XXVIII has already been decided? Surely WWE wouldn’t bring Rock back only to lose? The outcome hasn’t been decided and valid arguments could be made either way. I would have an issue with The Rock going over John Cena then leaving WWE. [...]
What is the purpose of having the Michael Cole/Jim Ross challenge pushed back another week? Does Vince just want to have an excuse to pick on Ross? The segment was cut from last week’s Raw Supershow because of time constraints and Jim Ross did not make the trip to Liverpool. I do not know beyond [...]
When I look at Cody Rhodes I see a future World Champion. He has the look, in-ring skills, mic skills and charisma to be a valid World Champion. Do you think that WWE will soon push Cody for a World Title run, given that he has been feuding with Randy Orton (one of the top [...]
Is there any particular reason why WWE decided to have Mick Foley return at a house show rather than Monday Night Raw? Mick Foley said in his promo he could return to play whenever he wanted too and there was no better place for him to play than in Dublin, Ireland. WWE obviously wanted to [...]
What are the chances AJ Styles ever leaves TNA Impact Wrestling for WWE? This is a common question I see readers asking from time to time and while it’s certainly possible AJ Styles could leave TNA for WWE, how much success do you think he would have? While I know Vince McMahon and Triple H [...]
Are the Twitter insults between CM Punk and Chris Jericho a work or is there legitimately bad blood between the two? In this business you never know but I’m going to reach and say CM Punk and Chris Jericho probably don’t like one another. CM Punk’s character on TV is a realistic portrayal of his [...]
What was the real reason Jim Ross wasn’t at Raw last night? Jim Ross was backstage at last night’s Raw Supershow in Atlanta and there were plans to do the “Michael Cole Challenge.” While I do not have 100% confirmation it appears the segment was cut due to time constraints. I am growing sick and [...]
What will happen on tonight’s Michael Cole challenge involving Jim Ross? As the storyline goes, if Jim Ross beats Michael Cole, he’ll “quit.” We’ve had a lot of people asking if I feel like this is the opportunity to get Raw back to the announce team of Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler and while that [...]
The official WWE website has teased the company should bring back the Hardcore Championship. With the company being PG do you think it would be silly to bring back a title for a match that’s almost impossible to have under the new conditions? WWE posted a teaser article about the Hardcore Championship yesterday on their [...]
Do you have any information on Tough Enough? Is there another season planned? As of this writing there are no plans for season two of WWE Tough Enough, at least I haven’t heard of anything concrete. If there is a second season it would involve the same trainers and core cast. I’m told Vince McMahon [...]
With WWE giving the WWE Championship to Alberto Del Rio at SummerSlam, taking it off at Night of Champions and then giving it back again at Hell In A Cell, do you feel the company has some concern towards him being a main event talent and are testing the waters with him now as he [...]
If Triple H feels he will wrestle when needed, is that what he feels he is needed for? A feud with Kevin Nash? Wouldn’t it make more sense to have Hunter help put over some of the younger talent? Triple H made the comment he would wrestle when needed and while I think I understand [...]
How long do you envision John Laurinaitis being the Raw General Manager and Who do you believe will take his place? I am so frustrated over the Raw General Manager gimmick I hope a resolution comes soon but I haven’t heard. The “chaos” seems more evident than ever with The Miz and R-Truth still wreaking [...]
What is the latest on Skip Sheffield’s injury status and his in-ring return? We get emails all the time about Skip Sheffield but there isn’t much new to report. Sheffield underwent a third surgery on his ankle in June and provided an update in May. Since then, all Tweets have been deleted from his Twitter [...]
Do you like seeing Vince McMahon as an on-screen character or do you feel he should just stay behind-the-scenes? The Mr. McMahon character is entertaining in moderation. I find it compelling when McMahon involves himself in storylines, however, his character is like any other character in that it has a limited shelf life. With that [...]
Gail Kim quit WWE, something WWE never acknowledged with a “future endeavored” send-off, but doesn’t she have a 90-day non compete clause? Given the fact Gail Kim has already done a public interview and has now deflected back to TNA Impact Wrestling, I’m under the assumption she did not have a non-compete clause attached to [...]
Will the WWE Network be available in all countries? WWE is focused on trying to get clearance for the network in the United States as it’s the only way it will be successful. Given the fact WWE is committed to international expansion and growth outside of the United States, I’m sure plans will be made [...]
Has there been any updates as to why Jim Ross was relieved of his announce duties on Monday’s Raw Supershow? Has his health taken a poor turn? Why does Vince always seem to pick on and embarrass JR on television? Jim Ross did an interview yesterday and revealed he was not told of the plan [...]
It’s pretty obvious that whoever is victorious over Mark Henry and gets the World Heavyweight title will automatically get a huge push. If you could chose the winner, who would you pick and why? Mark Henry is receiving the push of a lifetime and given the record and defeats he has compiled, whoever “takes him [...]
I just heard Brock Lesnar will be included in the new WWE ’12 game. Could that be the reason that Vince McMahon had a secret meeting with Dana White? The meeting wasn’t secret because Dana White actually Tweeted about it on his personal Twitter account. The two sides met to discuss business and other things [...]
