Gewezen doelman Tim Wiese zou zaterdag zijn fel gemediatiseerde debuut staan in het World Wide Wrestling (WWE). Volgens 'Bild' maakt 32-jarige Wiese, die zeven jaar in het doel van Werder Bremen stond en zes A-caps telt, zijn opwachting tijdens een event in Frankfurt. Het is wel nog onduidelijk of hij meteen ook voor de leeuwen geworpen wordt. Het WWE heeft namelijk een geschiedenis om nieuw talent niet meteen als vechtjas in de strijd te gooien, maar om hen eerst bekend te maken bij het grote publiek in een andere rol. In september liet Wiese weten dat hij benaderd werd door het WWE nadat een foto van zijn fysieke gedaanteverwisseling viraal ging (zie onderaan). Wiese gaf toen meteen te kennen dat hij geïnteresseerd was in het aanbod en er met zijn manager over te onderhandelen. "Waarom zou ik nee zeggen? Worstelen is erg populair, zeker in de Verenigde Staten."

 There's at least some speculation within WWE that Kofi Kingston and Big E will be involved in the "A New Day" gimmick with Xavier Woods. Big E and Kofi have not been featured in the new Woods vignettes that have aired.

RUMOR: TNA Impact Wrestling Could Possibly Stay On Spike TV

WWE: Daniel Bryan May Never Return As Active Wrestler

Daniel Bryan has received some pretty terrible news, which we detailed with a bit more optimism on October 29. However, a new report that surfaced at Cageside Seats today indicates that optimism may be wishful thinking.

During the site’s daily rumor roundup, it was said that unnamed sources within the WWE are operating on the assumption that there is no timetable for a Daniel Bryan return. In fact, they’re starting to entertain that “it’s even possible he may not return at all.”

The Wrestling Observer adds that “word among wrestlers… is that he may need major elbow surgery,” which could make him a hazard to himself and his opponents, especially considering his high-risk in-ring work.

Bryan (aka Bryan Danielson) has been well-loved among fans since his Ring of Honor days from 2002 to 2005. He represents the last of a dying breed — the wrestler who could make it onto the big stage without being a strictly WWE creation.

Moving forward, it will be increasingly difficult for other stars to bring their celebrity with them into the company while making it to the top.

And make it to the top, Bryan did. In April at WrestleMania 30, he was booked over Triple H in a singles match and then won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship later that night in a triple-threat match against Randy Orton and Batista.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t long after that that the surgery, the title-strip, and the indefinite hiatus came about.

If it’s true that Daniel Bryan may not come back at all, then we’ve essentially witnessed another promising pro wrestling career cut short due to injury. While the circumstances of this case are different, they are reminiscent of Terry Allen (aka Magnum T.A.), who was one of the hottest babyface stars of the 1980s until a car accident ended his run just six years from the time he wrestled his first match.

Daniel Bryan has at least had a longer run than Magnum T.A., having started the business in 1999, but it wasn’t until this past WrestleMania that fans finally felt he was getting his due. To have that end now is tragic.

It’s also another bit of bad news for the company, which received a less-than-stellar result from its Q3 report this week. With one of its most-over stars on the shelf through next year’s WrestleMania and possibly for good, WWE needs a hero.

What do you think, readers? Is Daniel Bryan gone for good? What do you think it will mean for the WWE?

Video: BRITISH BOOT CAMP BREAKDOWN EPISODE TWO – THE MANCHESTER AUDITIONS

 

29-10-2014 om 15:57 geschreven door jefken  

- It was reported this past week that Randy Orton may have re-aggravated a back injury in the RAW main event. There has been no confirmation that Orton is injured but he is not on the official internal injury list. This does not mean Orton isn't hurt but it's probably not a serious injury.

On a related note, Orton mentioned on Twitter that he asked for a "RKO Outta Nowhere" t-shirt a few weeks back but hasn't received an answer. A fan asked Orton when we will get a shirt like that and Orton replied, "When they make room for something other than Cena merch."

John Cena Comments on Why He's Not Turning Heel
Posted by Steve Carrier on 10/23/2014 at 12:32 PM

Variety has an in-depth look at John Cena expanding into Hollywood. Despite Cena's popularity, he was unknown to Judd Apatow and Jason Moore, directors of The Nest. Cena had to try out for that role and the role in The Trainwreck. Apatow said of Cena:

"I wasn't so familiar with his other work, so I had no bias. I just saw him as an actor who was riotously funny. We read a bunch of people, and he was by far the funniest. Then he came and did a table read before we shot the movie, and got more laughs than anyone. He is a great improviser. He has a great sense of humor, and is the most professional person I have ever met."

Vince McMahon also commented in the article:

"John's passion for our business along with his charisma, work ethic and integrity have made him a global superstar and role model. John also has extraordinary business instincts and an insatiable thirst for knowledge which translate to any medium and are keys to his success."

The article noted that Cena is a company man to the core as they asked him to take off his trademark WWE cap but he declined and said, "They don't pay me to promote my hair cut." Cena also commented on not changing his image and turning heel:

"When you do that, everything you said, everything you stand for gets erased. It's a poor business decision."

Cena reiterated that he has no plans to leave WWE for Hollywood.

News on Team 3D Challenging The Bullet Club

 We noted before that TNA edited off two promos from Team 3D during Bound For Glory where the TNA Hall of Famers called out New Japan Pro Wrestling's Bullet Club stable.

Word is that those challenges were all Bully Ray's doing. They were not approved by TNA or Wrestle-1 and officials from those companies did not want 3D's challenges to air on Bound For Glory, which is why they were edited off.

TNA President Dixie Carter has apparently told several people to expect a "major announcement" in the near future. While some may believe that the announcement will be a new television deal for the company, that may not be the case.
There has been some claims that TNA has been negotiating with a talent that would reportedly "shock people." It's said that if it comes to fruition, the new signing would create a buzz around TNA, however no one seems to know who the talent is.

News on Kurt Angle and WWE's Offer to Him

 Regarding WWE wanting Kurt Angle to only work a full time deal, word is that it was Triple H's decision to offer Angle that deal. WWE was not interested in bringing Angle in under a part-time deal.

The feeling is that TNA is offering Angle a part-time deal and Angle will be staying with them for at least another year.

Angle also reportedly wants to focus on expanding his acting career in the next year. Angle is headed to Los Angeles soon for meetings and auditions.

 As expected, Justin Roberts' WWE departure is a big shock to a lot of people in the company. Roberts was extremely well liked backstage and many talents thought it could be a mistake, even though WWE announced it on their website. He worked RAW last night and word is that he was informed of his departure after RAW went off the air.
