Arrest Warrant Issued for Heath Slater Posted by Steve Carrier on 12/03/2014 at 02:48 PM
FOX 5 in Atlanta reports that police there have issued an arrest warrant for WWE Superstar Heath Slater for an incident at the WrestleMania 27 after party in 2011.
A woman named Corrine Oliver, who was working security at the party, alleges that Slater put her in a chokehold and tried to get her into an elevator to then drag her to his hotel room at the Hyatt Regency. Oliver claims the attack caused damage to five vertebrae in her back. This story was reported back shortly after it first happened but that was the last we heard about it.
Oliver reported the matter to her supervisor the next morning but waited three months to file a police report, claiming that she waited for supervisors to file the report but they never did. Oliver also said that other WWE Superstars saw what Slater was doing and didnt help her.
WWE's lawyer Jerry McDevitt said in a statement that the charges were filed against Heath Miller (Slater's real name) and not the company. This is the same stance they have taken in the past with certain Superstar arrests.
As we reported earlier, TNA exec bill Banks revealed some time ago that TNA was developing a new show entitled TNA Wrestling: Legends. Indemand.com has now put up a promotional poster and synopsis for the PPV:
Join TNA for a look back at the Stars who made professional wrestling what it is today. With classic matches featuring: Hulk Hogan, Jeff Hardy, Ric Flair and more.
WWE Leaving Hornswoggle Out of GM Storyline? Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/30/2014 at 11:39 AM It's worth noting that WWE's website has a playlist of Anonymous General Manager videos and asks, "who is the Anonymous RAW General Manager?"
It's been pointed out by fans online and by people within WWE how they are apparently ignoring that Hornswoggle was revealed as the Anonymous GM back on July 9th, 2012. The playlist on WWE's website has the segment with CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and AJ Lee from July 9th but there is no mention of Hornswoggle.
Furthermore, WWE is teasing on their website that we may "finally learn the identity of this shady GM" on this week's Cyber Monday RAW.
Backstage Reaction to Podcast with CM Punk Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/29/2014 at 08:07 AM
Even with CM Punk having a number of detractors in WWE, Bryan Alvarez of F4Wonline.com was told that virtually everybody in WWE who listened to the recent Art of Wrestling podcast with Colt Cabana "thought it was awesome."
Alvarez said, "Now if you know CM Punk, CM Punk is a guy who has his loversmaybe that's the wrong wordhe has his fans, and he has his detractors. There's a group of people in WWE who are big fans of CM Punk, and there are people in WWE who just can't stand the guy. When he left, I heard from people that were like, 'Thank God this guy has left! He drove us crazy. He was so angry.' When he did his podcast with Colt Cabana, he admitted that at the end, he was actually sorry for how many times he told people to f--k off. When it happened, I had been told from people that he was so miserable, he was such as a crabby individual, they were glad he was finally gone out of the locker room because they couldn't handle him anymore. Now with that said, the impression that I got was, even people who did not like CM Punk, even people who really thought he was a miserable guy and were not CM Punk's fans in the slightest, they were fans of a lot of the stuff that he talked about in the podcast."
He continued, "It is true, there are a lot of guys in the company who are afraid to speak out, they're afraid to say anything, they're afraid to approach management, they're afraid to ask questions, and CM Punk got a lot of that out in the podcast. And he opened a lot of people's eyes that didn't know anything about what goes on internally in WWE. So there were even people that don't like CM Punk and don't want him back in the company, who are happy that he did this podcast and said everything that he said."
Alvarez said Vince McMahon is upset with Punk, but he's not "fuming." With the WWE Network airing a live "Stone Cold" Steve Austin podcast with the WWE Chairman and CEO immediately following Raw next Monday, Alvarez was told that it is very unlikely that he will talk about the matter in-depth. If he does, the feeling is that he will offer a "corporate answer."
Paul "Triple H" Levesque was among those hit the hardest in Punk's two-hour long speech as The Straight Edge Superstar addressed his issues with the WWE executive throughout the show. During his meeting with Levesque and McMahon that led to his exit from WWE, Punk went off on Levesque for not putting him over in 2011 when he was riding high on the momentum from his infamous "pipe bomb" promo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Upon being told by McMahon that he would be wrestling Levesque in a 'main event' at WrestleMania 30, Punk recalled turning to Hunter to say, 'All due respect, I do not need to wrestle you, you need to wrestle me. I do not want to wrestle you. I seriously resent you for not putting me over three years ago when you should have. That would have been best for business but you had to f--king come in and squash it. And then I had to lose to f--king Truth and Miz. It didn't make any business sense then, it doesn't make any business sense now, and I am in a position now where I can tell you that I don't have to nor do I want to wrestle you at WrestleMania. I don't care if I was supposed to win.'"
Punk then noted, "Which I was. I didn't care. I didn't want to give him the f--king privilege. I said a lot of s--t in there. I told them again and Hunter, he was gritting his teeth and I knew... he never liked me. It's one of those situations where you always hear those stories in the dirt sheets about 'Hunter says this about Punk' and all this negative stuff but me and him in a room together? Never any good vibes. Always negative, the way he would always look sideways at me, the way he always treated me."
According to Alvarez, Levesque is furious with Punk over his remarks. He said he received a text message from a person in WWE reading 'Triple H wants to kill Punk.'"
Alvarez added that Levesque, as well his wife, Stephanie McMahon, have 'an abject hatred' for Punk. He is also considered to be on their no-call list.
WWE officials are also extremely unhappy with Cabana. Cabana, who was being courted by the organization for an announcing role as recently as last year. He is said to now be on their "s--tlist."
CM Punk Speaks on His WWE Departure Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/27/2014 at 08:05 AM
Former WWE Superstar CM Punk has finally spoken out about his WWE departure on the latest episode of Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast. It's a very in-depth interview with Punk going into detail about his health, last few months with WWE, his departure and what happened after that. The full interview is available on iTunes now. Below are a few highlights:
* He left after the Royal Rumble mainly because of his health. He talked about working with broken ribs, a concussion and bad knees during his last months with the company. Punk was so sick during last November's European tour that he was throwing up and dry heaving every night after his matches. He had a fever for months and no appetite. WWE doctors gave him so many antibiotics that he had an accident in the ring on SmackDown, all while watching his paychecks shrink. He said it was the worst he's ever felt in his life.
* He suffered a concussion early during the Royal Rumble match but still worked. He passed a concussion test the next day and called the testing "bullshit." WWE informed he passed but wanted him to run the ring ropes and evaluate him. Punk then demanded that they just decide he has a concussion and admitted that he had been trying to deny he was hurt and just tough it out.
Punk says that same day he was being pressured about taking a drug test and signing visas for future tours instead of listening to his requests for help because something was obviously wrong. Punk then told Vince McMahon and Triple H that he was going home. Punk says he told off Triple H about cutting off his momentum in 2011 and complained to Vince for stifling Punk's creativity. He says he told them both it was garbage how Daniel Bryan wasn't being considered for the WrestleMania XXX main event. Punk says he told them he didn't want to do this anymore and was done. Vince was in tears when he hugged Punk goodbye and told him he was family.
* However, Punk was actually fired from WWE. After he left in January, he was told a few weeks later by Vince McMahon through text message that he was being suspended for two months. This was the day before Vince told WWE shareholders that Punk had taken a sabbatical. Punk heard from no one in WWE once the suspension was over and received termination papers for breach of contract on his wedding day in June.
* Punk says he hired a very vicious lawyer to go after WWE and fight their claim of breach of contract. In the end, he got a settlement that gave him everything he asked for and more. Punk's not allowed to talk about the settlement. He said they are done and will never have a working relationship again. Punk says WWE wanted to issue a joint statement with him but he told them to "f*** off." WWE was worried he would go to TNA but Punk's lawyer told WWE that he despises wrestling now and will never wrestle again.
* He said wrestling Ryback took "20 years off his life" and described Ryback as "steroid guy."
WWE Considering Surprise for Royal Rumble Match Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/22/2014 at 11:51 AM
- PWInsider reports that WWE officials have been talking about possibly using an ECW Original or two as a surprise at the 2015 WWE Royal Rumble, since it's being held in Philadelphia.
- WWE Diva Paige quoted Jake "The Snake" Robert on Twitter with this line:
According to Jason Powell ofProWrestling.net, Ring of Honor upper-management - Sinclair Broadcasting - were discussing the process of beginning to remove all ROH contracted talent from independent appearances, including Pro Wrestling Guerilla, out of Reseda, California. We can now confirm that this report is true and that ROH has began contacting independent promoters notifying them that their talent are hereby pulled from independent appearances. The first to officially confirm this was the promoter of DREAMWAVE Wrestling, Jay Repsel.
This means that there are high probabilities that Ricochet will win his match against Kyle O'Reilly on PWG's Black Cole Sun. I think this is a smart decision by ROH that should be done time ago. ROH needs exclusivity and something that makes us want to watch their shows.
Earlier in the week, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio claimed in an interview that he had plans to wrestle for two televised companies in 2015. Those two companies are reportedly AAAs Lucha Underground and TNA Wrestling.
This past weekend, Del Rio made appearances in the Northeast including Tommy Dreamers House Of Hardcore event in Philadelphia. He did make his intentions known that he plans to work for Lucha Underground and TNA in 2015.
