- The Royal Rumble will be the first WWE PPV to be available in HD.
- The reason WWE switched the outcome of the Triple H-Jeff Hardy result at the Armageddon was due to Trips preferring to get his title shot at Wrestlemania, rather than at the Royal Rumble.
- There has been suggestions made internally for WWE to hire Norman Smiley as a wrestler and/or as an agent.
- There are rumors once again suggesting that WWE has interest in CMLL stand out Místico. Mistico is working an insane schedule in Mexico, and while WWE’s schedule is demanding, Mistico would actually wrestle less if under contract to World Wrestling Entertainment.
Gerweck.net
I love the second story. As if on the day of Armageddon, Triple H went, "Wait! I'd rather have a title shot at Wrestlemania! What am I thinking?!"

I love how in the Mistico and Smiley stories they took them from the Observer without giving credit, and then have a thing at the bottom of their page asking people to give gerweck.net credit for anything taken from the site. Just to clarify those stories though, the suggestions to hire Smiley supposedly came from MVP and Mysterio, and the Mistico rumors are from a Mexico City newspaper.
Agreed on the Triple H story sounding ridiculous. If they want him to get his title shot at Mania, they probably would have known that already. I doubt they would have done the storyline in the first place and slowed Hardy's momentum with a PPV loss if the plan was for HHH to challenge at the rumble. I'm not denying that Trips will get his title shot at mania, but them suddenly deciding to hand Jeff a win over HHH because they all of a sudden changed their mind about when he wanted his title shot? Sounds like people who reported that the plan was for Trips to go over are trying to backpedal and cover up their incorrect guesswork.

The Big Wiggle in the WWE?! Kick ass! Maybe that Marcey chick can manage him and they can be some French a-holes.

Norman Smiley as a wrestler in the WWE might be enough to make me stop caring. As an agent thats fine, but if I see his over rated ass on Raw, and or SD I riot.

What would be so bad about Smiley as a jobber/ comedy character? Hell, he's far more entertaining that most of the guys on the WWE roster right now. Also, Big Wiggle FTW.

Rumble in HD? My first thought is no more Rumble moments where two wrestlers "hit the floor at the same time"

Maybe we'll even see someone's ass and can tell if he shaved it!" My second thought was, "I don't really want to buy an HD TV set".

Well I see Hardy's push is going to last, then.

Especially since Pwinsider, which is a lot more reliable than Gerweck, has been saying that the office is behind Hardy and are planning on giving him a sustained push. If the plan was for him to face Orton at the rumble, I doubt they would have made a match which really wasn't necessary to get HHH that title shot, and given an unnecessary PPV loss to a guy they're trying to give a big push. The whole scenario of the match made a lot more sense for Hardy to win, as he was lacking marquee wins as a singles guy and was going to need one for credibility's sake if he was heading towards a title shot.

I'm sticking to the regular one.

I used to hate seeing these HHH stories, because at a certain time I saw a ton of validity in them. Now I look forward to them to see how stupid and ridiculous they can get.
I mean I totally love the visual of HHH standing around backstage and one of the creative guys going over the Rumble scenario with him.
"Wait .... I thought this was for a shot at Mania?"
"Naw man, Rumble shot."
"........YO JEFF, CHANGE OF PLANS. YOU WIN! ....now where is Vince...."

I was gonna ask if there is a separate channel for the HD broadcast. 10 bucks more? Crud, I may have to pass.
