Backstage News on The Boogeyman & Tommy Dreamer Posted by Steve Carrier on 12/19/2012 at 09:41 AM
- The Boogeyman was used on Monday's RAW after his name was brought up a few weeks back and Vince McMahon popped for it big time, wanting to use him for the Slammys. There was talk of having The Boogeyman work a dark match, so officials could get a look at him, at last night's Super SmackDown but that did not happen.
- Tommy Dreamer's return on RAW was actually a last minute deal as he didn't get the phone call to come until late Monday. Dreamer has been at WWE headquarters several times over the past few months. As noted, they are open to using him again in the future.
We've noted before how WWE officials are high on NXT star Corey Graves. Graves, who is from Pittsburgh, tweeted the following teaser for the March 18th RAW that takes place from his hometown:
- As seen on RAW, Ric Flair made his first WWE television appearance since the 2012 WWE Hal of Fame ceremony back in April, when he was under contract to TNA. To follow up on Flair's WWE status, according to high placed sources in WWE, Flair has not signed a contract with the company and last night was simply a guest appearance. The door remains open in the future for Flair to make more appearances for WWE, but for now, there's no deal in place
- F4Wonline.com reports that Shelton Benjamin gave his notice to Ring of Honor because WWE is interested in him. Apparently WWE and Benjamin will be negotiating now. Word is that Benjamin isn't necessarily leaving ROH but he was released from his contract and there is a good chance he will be leaving for good for WWE.
- After an apparent face turn at WWE's TLC pay-per-view on Sunday, Alberto Del Rio took to Twitter and says that he's not going to be a good guy. Del Rio tweeted:
"Don't any of you get any ideas that I'm going to be a good guy! If you mess with my best friend all the rules go out the window!"

As
we previously reported, TNA Wrestler Jeff Hardy recently joined 4th and Pain show for an interview. In the interview hardy claims
he is going to remain in TNA.
Its great,
man. I get so tired Ill look at the comments on Instagram and theres all this
WWE, TNA talk. I get so tired of hearing that as far as where I should be or
whatever. Being here is whats cool to me because we have so much room to grow
and get better. And really, I feel needed more here. Like if I did ever go back
to WWE, I wouldnt feel as needed. I mean, I would stand out but I would just
vanish with the other top guys. Being here is just unique because Im able to be
the complete package of 'The Charismatic Enigma,' like with my music coming out
and my artwork. Theres just so much potential for me overall being more than
just a wrestler here in TNA. And thats why Im going
to remain here.
TNA as of this writing, TNA has not
confirmed that Hardy has signed a contract extension with TNA.

Apparently there was concern for Ryback's crowd reaction received when he made his way out for his match at the TLC pay-per-view. Some were blaming the heel fans that were extra loud for the lack of crowd response Ryback received. While those same fans booed John Cena, Cena fans were very vocal in their support. WWE is really pushing for Ryback to get over now so they are hoping that last night was an anomoly.
On the flip side, management is said to be very happy with The Shield's performance at TLC.
- Apparently R-Truth may have injured his knee
during a United States Championship match with Antonio Cesaro at Sunday's TLC
pay-per-view event. Below is a photo
of his knee cut wide open.
- R-Truth wasn't the only
WWE Superstar busted open at TLC, John Cena suffered a cut under his right eye in his Ladder Match
against Dolph Ziggler. Cena didnt require medical attention but the referees put gloves on
and asked
him if he needed treatment. Cena waved off the attention.
- Also at TLC, WWE went with the decision to turn Alberto Del Rio babyface. 3MB were picking on the Spanish announce team for not speaking English, which prompted Ricardo Rodriguez to come out. 3MB proceeded to bully Rodriguez until Del Rio came out and made the save. This set up a six man tag team match for later in the evening, with 3MB facing The Miz, Del Rio and their mystery partner, legendary jobber The Brooklyn Brawler.
