- WWE is conducting yet another poll on the company Facebook page asking fans to name a new show for the WWE Network. The names that are being considered for the new countdown show include:
* WWE Your Call * WWE Countdown * WWE Settle the Score * WWE Hit List
- During Thursday morning's investor conference call, WWE CEO Vince McMahon said that WWE will "soon be making a very big announcement" on WWE Network plans. cMahon said that WWE is on track to launch the network next year and feels confident they "finally turned the corner" to where they can make the "very big announcement."
- When asked about when the WWE Network will launch, WWE said 6 months is a good estimate.
- They noted they have about 100,000 hours of footage in their tape library - with 30,000 hours digitized. They are using those 30,000 hours as the first programming for the Network and will continue to digitize the rest of their content. They called their library of footage their most underutilized and unappreciated asset. WWE owns 100% of the rights to their tape library, although they do license it to partners.- They were asked about WWE's Network and if would have any partnerships. Vince said it would be solely owned by WWE.
- Vince McMahon talked about why the network will be a success - and took a shot at Oprah Winfrey's struggling network, which he called a failure. Vince said Oprah just put her name on the network without giving fans what they want, which is a mistake WWE won't make.
- Also during the conference call, WWE said that their 4th quarter earnings report will reflect several big expenses related to the upcoming WWE Network. Upcoming WWE Network expenses include $4-6 million for staffing and $10-15 million for additional equipment and construction of a WWE Network Media Center.
Backstage News On Maryse's Release, Playboy? Posted by Dave Mitchell on 11/02/2011 at 10:42 PM
Former WWE diva Maryse was released from the company on October 28th, a move that was a surprise to many backstage.
As to whether the decision was hers or WWE, a WWE source indicates that it was mutual. Maryse was already looking beyond WWE at getting back into modeling and possibly even posing for Playboy, but it was WWE that made the call to release her. Because the company did not see any issues with her going to TNA (like Gail Kim), they did not have as much of an issue letting her go.
Prior to her getting injured (and undergoing surgery to correct an abdominal hernia), there were plans to start an angle where Hornswoggle had the hots for her.
She was medically cleared to return several weeks ago and she was telling people that she was about to be brought back to television.
She is still dating Miz and currently resides in Southern California.

Possible reason why Evan Bourne was suspended Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/01/2011 at 12:43 PM
PWInsider.com reports that there is one belief among those in WWE that the recent amount of suspensions has to do with the company cracking down on the usage of synthetic marijuana.

WWE Raw SuperShow results: It's time to meet The Muppets!
ATLANTA On any other program, the sudden appearance of a talking frog and a pig who knows karate would seem bizarre. On WWE Raw SuperShow, it was just another part of a night that included a trick from R-Truth, a treat for CM Punk and a very Happy Halloween for John Cena.
John Cena def. The Miz (WATCH | PHOTOS) Fired up after finding out that The Rock will team with him against The Awesome Truth at Survivor Series, John Cena gave The Awesome One a little taste of what to expect on Nov. 20. Smashing The Miz in the same city where they clashed at WrestleMania XXVII, the Cenation leader was almost stopped by a fan dressed as Ghostface from the Scream movies. As it turned out the attacker was actually R-Truth who got a taste of Cenas rage before the West Newbury, Mass., native put Miz away with the STF. The powerful Superstar then nailed Truth with an Attitude Adjustment to make it one unhappy Halloween for The "Awesome Truth."
Miss Piggy beat up Hornswoggle (WATCH | PHOTOS) Hornswoggle sure picked a bad time to meet The Muppets. The little leprechaun is such a huge fan of the colorful puppets that he has nearly the whole group tattooed on his ankle, (PHOTOS) so he should have known better than to interrupt Miss Piggy in the presence of a handsome man. Ruining the moody porkers chances with the abdominally inclined John Morrison, Hornswoggle stole a kiss from the pig and ended up getting nailed with a karate chop he wont soon forget.
Michael Cole postponed The Michael Cole Challenge (WATCH) If theres one thing Michael Cole is good at, it's beating a dead horse.

Not content just to claim the victory, the SmackDown villains laid waste to Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston after the bell with some help from the underhanded Christian.

Sheamus came face-to-face with Beaker (WATCH | PHOTOS) Ever notice how much Sheamus looks like Beaker from The Muppets? It turns out its not just a passing resemblance.

World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry def. CM Punk by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) In a bout set by Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis on WWE.com, CM Punk had to defeat The Worlds Strongest Man if he wanted to face Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Title at Survivor Series.
It was a massive undertaking, but one The Straight Edge Superstar was more than willing to accept.

He ends the interview stating that he is very close to signing with TNA and does have high hopes.
