Yeah, I think it's a mistake. Wikipedia still has it in the schedule. Doesnt matter in the slightest if Wikipedia still has it. If WWE is changing the name, Wiki is not going to know first. Very bad barometer to use for information verification. Hell, Wiki had the draft listed as April 18th for months and it was never certain. They've had polls very recently about PPV names, this seems like the one thats getting changed.

I highly doubt he would be champ anyways since he is not allowed in some countries. That is not a guy who should represent WWE. Prior convictions? What countries isn't he allowed in? I know we didn't let Paris Hilton in last time she tried to visit. He's not allowed in Canada for sure. Theres news stories about it if you Google "R-Truth Canada" as its for his prior conviction. I can't find anything recent (October 2010 is the most recent), but there's nothing about Japan and he was in the UK last week, so it may just be Canada. The WWE aren't in Canada until very late May (house shows) and TV isnt up there until August. I highly doubt he was replaced because of the issue with Canada. My guess is this heel turn was planned from the get-go and he was never going to get the belt in the first place.

It has to be Rey. Beat him and you've accomplished nothing other than being a runt. Lose to him and you lose to a runt. How can it be Rey when right now his feud with Cody is elevating Cody? Rey has been booked to be the runt that can actually beat big dudes. The only thing you gotta worry about feuding with Rey is his knee braces injuring you. Previously, Rey feuded with ADR who just had a title match as the #1 contender at Mania. A feud with Rey seems to lead to good things, as much as I dislike him, his track record is proven.

I put Horny in the same boat as HHH (kind of). You may look like a doof, but at least you're on Raw (as opposed to superstars or nothing) every week. WHAT? You're still having to sell for a midget wrestler. For anyone over the age of 8, its a joke. And if you're using what show as a barometer, if you're in a feud with HHH, you're likely main evening or near the top of the card. A feud with Hornswoggle you're the 2nd segment of the night at best. HHH is arguably one of the biggest superstars in the business and in the last 20 years. A multiple world champion. I dont care what show you're on, if you're in a feud with Hornswoggle you're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Its Jericho's, but it would've been Booker's had the Invasion actually been worth a damn. I remember when he showed up on Raw for the first time and I was so excited by the idea of the Invasion. Well, we know how that turned out.

Cole has been almost forever.
Adamle was awful, but its was obvious he was never going to be doing it a long time. Cole's been there for so long and he's always sucked.

I could see both Orton and Miz going to Smackdown with ADR and Rey (noooooo) coming to Raw.

Why is it only that they could fire both, or just Rosa? Where's the possibility that they could fire just Beth? Rosa does have some advantages in staying by herself. Well according to the OP, Beth's profile fell under Raw, but Rosa's was not to be found. Now its fixed.

I'm a big AJ fan and I never heard the homeless thing. She brought it up on NXT. So what is she doing now? is she in FCW or did she get Future endeavoured? And I'm dissapointed at the lack of recent pictures of her Shes in FCW.

You're trying to make an argument against what shes said. It doesnt say she graduated. Its very possible she was accepted to NYU. You also don't have to be a full time student. She may have been part time. She may have only gone for a year or even a semester. Not enough information is out there to say one way or another. Shes from Union City, which is 10-20 minutes from NYU via public transportation. Its highly possible its true and theres many ways a case can be made for her having attended. At the end of the day, what does it matter? Eh, I just hate when people's credentials are inflated. As you mentioned its not necessarily her fault as others might have twisted it, but I'm more against the inflation than anything. At the end of the day, I'd still bang her though Her credentials mean nothing in the world that she has chosen to work in. She's not applying for a production job. Its such an insignificant thing, I just don't understand the reasoning behind questioning it. If she was a member of creative you'd have a point, but a college degree isnt going to get you into the ring.

I don't know who Rosa Mendes is. Never heard of her. Really? Shes not on TV much, but she was for quite a bit. She has a horrible tattoo on her side. She was Beth and Santino's assistant or something along those lines when she first came in. I dont really remember. I couldnt care any less if Rose has been released. Pretty girl, whatever worker, whatever across the board. As for Beth on RAW, makes perfect sense as its likely where Kong will be introduced. In fact, a great way to introduce her, Beth gets drafted, and Kong comes out and pounds her.

The homeless thing have a time frame? Because lacking that, she could have been homeless as a child or something. I don't know the time frame, but if that has any truth to it then I would think it would have to be as a child. Even then I just don't see her juggling being a full-time student, having a full-time job and wrestling all at the same time. You're trying to make an argument against what shes said. It doesnt say she graduated. Its very possible she was accepted to NYU. You also don't have to be a full time student. She may have been part time. She may have only gone for a year or even a semester. Not enough information is out there to say one way or another. Shes from Union City, which is 10-20 minutes from NYU via public transportation.

She attended NYU. That doesnt mean she graduated.
She's also a minority. This plays into admissions.

Ribs happen at every level and at every promotion. Its part of the business basically. No one who is at the level of even considering WWE has not experienced a rib before. True enough. It's just hearing about the WWE ones skewed my post there for a moment. Sure, I understand that. WWE are the most publicized ones obviously. There have been far worse ribs throughout the business. Google, "Urban Legends of Professional Wrestling" for some examples (its an angelfire link), or read Bret's book and his stuff about the Calgary days. Because they don't care about money or fame and just love to wrestle...? And don't want to be stuck with the stigma of a wretch-inducing gimmick ala Eugene or Red Rooster. These are extremes of the spectrum. I highly doubt anyone considering WWE has had this even cross their mind as a reason not to go unless they were fed a gimmick before signing. Hell, Droz had a puking gimmick and readily signed on for it.

Practical jokes like someone pooping on your stuff? The locker room acting like kindergarten students in general? Ribs happen at every level and at every promotion. Its part of the business basically. No one who is at the level of even considering WWE has not experienced a rib before.

I think the schedule and demand is enough alone to turn some people away. Its why Angle left. Its why Sting has mostly refused to come. Its arguably why Low Ki left. If you've got a young family, it has to be extremely tough being on the road so much.
Look at guys like Carlito and MVP. Mostly midcarders with brief tastes of main event, yet still asked out. Carlito was eventually released by the company, but rumors are he wanted out of his contract sooner.
I also think the booking plays into it. There are guys who work their butts off, but still find themselves only working Superstars or dark matches and can never seem to get ahead. I agree that is partially the performer's own fault, but WWE are known to spit guys out of the system without giving them much of a chance prior.
Also backstage politics. Face facts, politics come into things in every facet of life. You play politics digging ditches or as the CEO of the biggest company on the planet. Some people will not compromise or do this.
Frankly, there's a multitude of reasons why someone may not want to be in the WWE. Each case is probably very different but with similar reasons at the end of the day.

eh, he was a decent hand, but he just didn't have that spark to get him over to the next level. He's reached his potential, won the x-division title and tag title. I can't buy him as a world champ though. I'm sure he's well liked, but his act got stale. Did you not see him in the ring with Flair? Im not talking about wrestling him. He was very believable in every respect with just words. The dude has it all IMO. He can talk, work, and get himself over. The last bit is key. He got himself over with a cheesy Macho Man impression. He got himself over being serious. That's not something that can be taught. He's better than most that are still on the roster.
