Doane Says Cena Had An Affair With A Married Diva Posted by Andy Steven on 06/24/2012 at 06:39 PM
Kenn Doane, who appeared as Kenny of the Spirit Squad and Kenny Dykstra for WWE from 2006 to 2008, blames an affair between John Cena and Mickie James for ruining his relationship with the former Diva and costing him his job. Speaking to SEScoops.com on the ordeal, Doane reveals that Cena was having a second affair with a then-WWE Diva who was married to a man not involved with the professional wrestling industry.
Doane says he discovered James had been cheating on him with the Cenation leader when he caught her searching online rumors of her act of infidelity with the query Mickie James dating John Cena.
Upon confronting her about it, She stared at [the computer] for like legit two minutes and Im looking at her like Did you forget how to read? Say something, WTF. She got up and ran into the other room crying saying she was sorry and she felt bad and admitted to it.
While recalling the matter, Doane says Cena was having an affair with a second WWE Diva.
I dont have Johns number so I call his diva road girlfriend. I ask her if she knows anything about it and she says she had a feeling because John recently dumped her and she is over him now, Doane says.
Cenas sexual escapades were not solely limited to WWE Divas as he was simultaneously involved with ring rats. Doane details, Got one diva who is married to a guy outside of the business but she sleeps with Cena, then we got Cena who sleeps with rats (groupies, girls not in the biz, girls in the lobby waiting for an invite upstairs) and this married diva, and now my girlfriend.
Following weeks of inactivity stemming from the affair, Doane was transferred to the SmackDown brand on June 17, 2007, as part of the WWE Supplemental Draft. Doane reveals that the married Diva was transferred from Raw to SmackDown as well after being dumped by Cena.
Following weeks Im off TV and off the road until I get sent to SmackDown. Ironically, Johns former Diva got sent too, Doane recalls. So now were on complete separate schedules and when there is a joint pay-per-view Im off the road that day too and get flown in on a Monday for a Tuesday Smackdown. Yeah complete B.S. I get jobbed out then they take me off the road more and fire me.
Two WWE Divas transferred from Raw to SmackDown in the 2007 WWE Supplemental Draftand the entire yearTorrie Wilson and Victoria. Wilson was in the process of divorcing Billy Kidman. Victoria has been married to a man not affiliated with the professional wrestling industry since 1998, matching Doanes claim.
On November 10, 2008, WWE announced Doane had been released from his contract. While discussing his termination with John Laurinaitis, he was informed that his decision to speak publicly on Cena and James affair will determine whether WWE offers him employment again in the future.
When Johnny Ace called me to fire me I asked him if this is why Im getting fired, Doane recalls. He told me we dont have anything for you and depending on whether you choose to discuss this issue will determine on if your allowed to come back in the future.
Doane ultimately concludes that he wants to be open and honest.
Going forward I have no reason but to speak the truth and to make all this up would be absolutely insane. Im not saying you have to believe anything I say but that is the truth, he says. WWE portrays Cena as this big hero and savior to all of us but truth be told that is a character he plays much like me as a cheerleader. When watching wrestling, know youre watching a show and not real life situations or scenarios. We are basically live comic books brought to life and make short action movies for you to enjoy.

Impact
on Thursday, June 21 scored a 0.97 rating, down from a 1.02 rating last week,
but the third consecutive show to round to a 1.0.
Impact averaged 1.24
million viewers, down eight percent from last week's average of 1.34 million
viewers. It was the fewest viewers during the summer series and the fewest in
two years dating back to June 24, 2010.
On cable TV Thursday night,
Impact ranked #37 on cable TV, #15 among males 18-34, and #15 among males 18-49,
which was the lowest m18-49 ranking since April. Impact was up against 18
million viewers for the NBA Finals finale on broadcast TV, but the show did not
fare well on cable TV, trailing comedy repeats on TBS and "World's Dumbest" on
TruTV.
The key demos were the same as last week, indicating TNA lost the
older-than-49-years-old demographic, likely to the NBA Finals. Impact gained
younger male viewers, improving in males 12-17 and males 12-34 to the highest rating in both
demos since May 10.
Former TNA Knockout Chelsea, real name Alison Skipper, would like to return to
TNA wrestling, she noted on twitter.
Chelsea left TNA Wrestling in
December 2010, but made a return to TNA in February of this year in a segment
with Eric Bischoff. She never appeared on television since, and no one knows if
she is currently signed to the company.
Replying to a fan on twitter
asking if she is still with TNA, she answered ;
"TNA and I are
friends...hopefully we can be more "
More on Why Alberto Del Rio Missed WWE No Way Out Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/21/2012 at 06:59 AM
- Regarding Alberto Del Rio being pulled from No Way Out due to a concussion but wrestling Santino Marella the next night on this week's RAW, it was explained by a source that WWE is just very strict on the issue of concussions.
Del Rio was not cleared to wrestle by the June 11th go-home RAW and there was no probability on June 11th that he would be cleared for No Way Out so they went with the back-up plan of Dolph Ziggler getting the shot against Sheamus. Del Rio ended up getting cleared but by that time they already had changed direction.
- Due to the depth issues with WWE's roster, Randy Orton will continue to be pushed near the top when he returns from suspension soon. Orton has been vocally frustrated in the sense that he believes he is better as a heel.
WWE feels they need one top babyface to anchor the live events and they are trying to get Sheamus there but aren't sure if he's ready yet, which is why Orton is still a babyface.
Orton is also frustrated because officials took his punt kick away from him, which was done because of the concussion issues.
