As we previously noted, WWE has been wanting to come up with some tie in between Kane’s “See No Evil” character Jacob Goodnight and his TV character. This has lead to speculation that Kane removed his mask on Raw this week and gave it to Stephanie because WWE intends to bring the Jacob Goodnight character to TV. Just this past week, WWE Studios confirmed the October 17th release date for “See No Evil 2,” so this might be WWE’s way of introducing fans to Jacob Goodnight on TV to help promote the movie.Goddammit...

Stephanie Comments On UFC
As we previously reported, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and WWE CFO George Barrios participated in the Needham Fireside Chat in New York City this week, and HHH made comments about how UFC is not competition. We have more on the discussion, with comments from Stephanie about how UFC is not comparable to WWE:
Stephanie On Why WWE Is A Great Value Compared To UFC:
With UFC you can pay money to watch a PPV but it can be a terrible fight, right? The guy you’re rooting for that UFC has been building gets knocked right off and suddenly that person doesn’t really matter anymore. All that investment is lost. You never have that with WWE, we strategically build out Superstars and characters. We know when they are going to win, we know when they are going to lose. We build characters and make them megastars. It’s all very intentional and you’re guaranteed to get your money’s worth. It might not necessarily be the outcome you wanted but you’re guaranteed to have a great match, a great pay-per-view and you’re guaranteed to get entertained.

But RAW on the other hand, we don't give a fuck what you think about that. Enjoy watching Eva Marie & Cameron and also Fandango job to a little person dressed as a bull each week! That's entertaining.............
With the WWE you can pay to watch a PPV & it can be terrible too. Usually if a fighter in the UFC gets "knocked right off" that's entertaining because it means he got the piss beaten out of him. He can fight his way up to another shot, or keep losing until he's fired. WWE has been the same guys in the main event over & over & over. UFC, despite having too many rematches (I feel), still develop new stars, something WWE (Bryan/Shield being the exception), hasn't done in a very long time.
Oh Steph, you & your oddly far apart knockers say the darndest things.

Own up to it pussy. This could be correct, but whoever posted it is probably someone that scorns the IWC and bloggers. Posted by PWMania.com Staff on 08/10/2014 News Although Nikki Bella has been with WWE for a number of years, it was only until last year that she was put in the spotlight. She was often overshadowed by her twin sister, Brie, and had never been promoted as a top star on her own. But thanks to Total Divas on E! and her relationship with WWE’s premiere star, John Cena, the spotlight is now on her. Unfortunately, great fame is often times accompanied by an inflated ego, and that appears to be the case with the big-boobed Bella. There is some resentment toward Nikki within WWE as they feel she has let fame get to her head. “Twin Magic” sees herself as the sports-entertainment organization’s top Diva due to Total Divas and her relationship with the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion. She constantly brags about expensive things he buys her, which is viewed as crass and tacky by her colleagues. Nikki’s twin sister, Brie, does not have this reputation behind-the-scenes. Just as she is portrayed on Total Divas, Brie is genuinely well-grounded and mature. She’s well-liked among her WWE peers. All is not negative on Nikki, though. Her in-ring performances at house shows, where more time is allotted to wrestle, has earned her praise from Triple H.

The ladies get 4-5 minutes tops at house shows, so let's not get carried away random PWMania Staff writer.
And at the very least, whoever wrote this could've had the common courtesy to call her by her real name, Tits Bella. Calling her "the big-boobed Bella" is just disrespectful.

Ricardo Rodriguez Says Triple H Called Him Fat Posted by Jeremy Thomas on 08.12.2014
After the Kevin Steen signing announcement...
- Following the reveal of Kevin Steen signing with WWE earlier today, Ricardo Rodriguez took to Twitter to take a couple shots at Triple H. The Steen announcement came from a tweet by the WWE account that featured the Game shaking hands with Steen, which prompted Rodriguez to post now-deleted messages to his account (via WZ):
Congrats.. I hope he at least looked at you while shaking hands at one point and did call you fat as f–k. #OhMemories.
#BumbleBee was his name for me… Don't even think he ever knew my real name.
The term "BumbleBee" is apparently a reference to the Simpsons character of BumbleBee Man. For those not familiar, BumbleBeen Man is a Latino slapstick character on the show. As previously reported, part of the reason that WWE didn't use Rodriguez in the ring more had to do with weight goals they had set for him that he had difficulty meeting.

Some of the wrestlers were sympathetic to Alberto Del Rio after he was fired by WWE. Regarding the WWE employee that Del Rio assaulted, Cody Barbierri, one person said he was a “jerkoff who was very arrogant” but said he was intelligent and his attitude had flown under the radar of WWE officials.
Another source noted that Barbierri had a few situations while on the road with WWE over the past year and he had a reputation for talking down to wrestlers. However, Barbierri has had the backing of Stephanie McMahon and has been a key player in WWE’s social media department.

Anywho, Hogan is way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Austin. I don't know what you are referring to Somewhere Austin's comments started this but...... On Steve Austin's comments that he's a bigger legend than Hogan: "I think that's in his own mind. My career was twice as long as his. I've been a main eventer since 1978 when we sold out Shea Stadium. I just totally disagree with him. I know he had a good run when he was in the Attitude Era. I don't know how long the Attitude Era was — four years, eight years — I don't know how long it was. That's where we totally disagree. Maybe he and I should lock up and figure this thing out. That would be a nice match." Read more at www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/332206#vGJw9p3cKRrzK8z2.99

WWE News: RVD's Latest Run May Be Over, Brock Lesnar's "Grandpa" Comment From RAW Was Unscripted Posted by Joseph Lee on 08.18.2014
RVD's last match was last night?
- It was believed that Rob Van Dam's current run would be over after last night's Summerslam PPV, where he beat Cesaro on the pre-show. While there is still a possibility that he could work this week's TV tapings, the word is that he is done for right now and will be back when he's ready.
- Brock Lesnar's comment to Hulk Hogan last week on RAW ("party's over, Grandpa") is said to be unscripted. Lesnar could have come up with it on his own, or with help from Paul Heyman, but it wasn't planned.

Alberto Del Rio Explains In Detail The Racist/Slapping Incident, Vince McMahon & Triple H's Reactions, More Posted by Larry Csonka on 08.18.2014
More details straight from Del Rio…
Credit: Billy Krotchsen and Pwinsider.com:
Alberto Del Rio appeared on Televisa's Primero Noticias in Mexico. Here is a recap:
On being fired, Del Rio said there was an incident, an altercation with a WWE employee, that one day he'll give all of the details on. Right now he's assessing the best way to do so via legal means, so that everything he says isn't used against him, since legal matters in the U.S. are handled differently than they are in Mexico.
He said there was an incident where he was offended, where he was completely the victim. He said WWE made a statement that he displayed unprofessional conduct, and that yes it's true, that he smacked the WWE employee because as he always says, you can take away his job but you can't take away his dignity and his pride, nor try to offend or humiliate where he comes from, which is of course Mexico, and he doesn't forget his roots. This problem led to the termination of his contract with WWE.
The interviewer asked if ADR was the victim of racism. Alberto says yes, that there were comments this employee made, and that he admitted he reacted in an inappropriate manner. He said that he wouldn't advise anyone to conduct themselves in the manner that he did. He admitted that he "smacked" the WWE employee and that he is completely embarrassed by his own attitude and by his own reaction, but in that moment, he demanded an apology.
The interviewer interrupted ADR and asked what the employee said to him, Alberto says that part he's gonna keep to himself for now. He said he's a few days away from being able to tell the world exactly what happened. He said that a lot of people know what happened because there were many people present there in the WWE catering area. The interviewer asks who else was there, Alberto says right next to him was Jack Swagger, one of the referees was behind him, people from the crew, etc. They were all eating in Laredo, Texas at a TV taping.
ADR said he spoke to Vince McMahon after the incident occurred and everything appeared to be fine. Interviewer backs up to the incident, Alberto says someone said something to the WWE employee, and when he responded to the comment, the response was directed at Alberto.
The interviewer asks if he's had any incidents with this employee before and Alberto says yes. He said that "a while back" there was a time the WWE employee was pretending to read something on his laptop and said, "It says on here Alberto is a ‘tal por cual' " (Mexican slang for a slut) and that he tried to play it off like it was a joke and shake Alberto's hand. Alberto refused and told the employee to get away from him. He said this incident occurred 7 or 8 months prior to the slap. So when this incident occurred recently, Alberto demanded an apology, but that the WWE employee walked right up to Alberto's face, smirked at him and said nothing. That's when Alberto smacked him. Again, he said he is embarrassed by his reaction, but he doesn't regret it. He said that yes, it cost him his job, but he thinks WWE is the one who loses the most in this situation.
The interviewer asks if it was another wrestler who he had this incident with, Alberto says no, that it's their Social Media Manager. He says he never even knew this person's name until after all of this happened. WWE released a statement saying Alberto was fired due to unprofessional conduct, but he wonders why they didn't mention there was an isolated incident that led to his unprofessional conduct.
Alberto said after the incident happened, Vince McMahon asked to speak to him. Alberto said that Vince himself told him that he understood where Alberto was coming from and why he was upset by the comment, because first he's insulted and then after the insult the guy smirks in his face. Vince said that he understood ADR's reaction. Everything appeared to be fine after his talk with Vince.
ADR was suspended the next day, which he understood, but that for reasons WWE later decided, they changed their mind and was let go.
Alberto said Triple H called him Thursday morning and told him that it hurts WWE more because they've invested a lot of time and money into him, but that they need to let him go. Alberto told him that it was fine, and that once his release was made public AAA contacted him, Japan contacted him, some North American promotions as well.
Alberto said that he has not had any other conversations with WWE since his release, but that word got out of what happened from other people who witnessed the incident occur.
He said going forward, he's using El Patron now since WWE owns "Alberto Del Rio" (his real name is Jose Alberto Rodriguez). They asked him if he's going to sue WWE, he said he's not sure. He said that the reason he went to a lawyer is because when he received his release in the mail, they mentioned he couldn't wrestle in the United States for a year. ADR admitted he's not fully familiar with the laws in the U.S. but he thinks it's unconstitutional to prevent him from wrestling, since that's how he makes a living and feeds his family.
Del Rio was asked if he wants to wrestle again in the U.S. He says no and that he was already considering not signing a new contract when his contract was up next February. He said he wasn't sure if he was going to stay or go, so he's not sure what would have happened, but unfortunately this incident happened which forced him out of the company. He spoke with his wife after he was let go and decided he wasn't going to pursue legal action against WWE, but then he received his termination letter with the 1 year no compete clause and that changed everything.

Right when he was starting tp pick up steam with the crowd, they cut bait. I don't get their midcard decisions most of the time.

I think Vince has usually made up his mind by the time they get heat. Plus, he doesn't want guys like that getting too over. It takes away from his main players.
