[1 Free Moon-Down with Burger]

It's almost as if they WANT the Network to be a success.

Richard Sherman = new (legion of) boom period.

I doubt you could find two worse surprise entrants for the Rumble. But hey, the "insider" is basically scrolling the Alumni section of WWE.com and then makes up news around random choices.

Batista tracker: Summer Rae currently, Alicia Fox on deck.

Misses Fandango would never cheat on Mr Fandango.

My dreams beg to differ.

warrior v ryback would be amazingly bad but i would mark

Love the Roman Reigns news. The long he's in the Shield the better. They all need to flesh out their characters before they break up.

Personally I say they keep Shield together until Summerslam but that's just me.

Batista?

It's not cheating if it's Batista, it's expected.

Regarding Mania, as of Friday the Undertaker match is set in stone. There will be no Money in the Bank match at Mania this year for people wondering if they were going to axe the "PPV" and move that match to Mania again. Total Divas will be filming during Mania for whatever that's worth (would make a good circular storyline if they almost got axed from the show but then made it on at the last minute). The Network will be broadcasting tons of live feeds throughout the week leading up to the show. There will be a WrestleMania 2015 commercial airing during the show. The company is looking for corporate sponsors who will buy TV time for the show like is done for the Super Bowl.

I don't give a damn about context but seeing Undertaker newz in the same section as Total Divas makes me pray to the gods that we get an Undertaker story arc on Total Divas.

THIS. MUST. HAPPEN.

It's not only expected, it's allowed.

One WWE source alerted us Monday, direct quote: "Batista is back, hide your girlfriends."

Everyone on this forum could have told him that.

"While WWE does look at indy guys in L.A., they must also remember that the non-wrestling athletes and models from the agencies in L.A. almost have a better chance at getting an NXT offer. This is actually beyond a proven fact as the most recent hires are Eva and JoJo, and the whole divas camp in L.A. last January was models with no wrestling experience. So if you train and are a worker in L.A., it's highly suggested that you work other states (Texas, Florida, all up and down the East coast) to help build your resume and get noticed as opposed to getting lost in the mix of models."

Oh WWE. "If you've got NO experience, we may want you. If you've got some experience we probably won't want you and if you've got TONS of experience we'll either absolutely not want you or give you kinduva a shot...maybe....if you play ball."

Naw, i got a gut feeling that Dave got his eyes on Eva Marie (regardless of her relationship status).

That has to be an attempt at humor from Meltzer right? Because it's just ridiculous to read from a reputable news journalist.

Next week: a source describes Randy Orton's farts; Dave prints it, with a few non-sequiturs thrown in.

This is from Alvarez, not Meltzer. Hence why half of it sounds like bollocks.

If all they're gonna use Angle for is a trainer than I'd rather him stay on TV in TNA.

It certainly does. I'm choosing to believe that Batista part is a mere nod to a meme, it's just so absurd and gossipy to be taken at face value.

I've heard for months that WWE ain't into indy guys. The year is still quite young. If more guys get turned down as the year rolls on, I'll definitely be inclined to believe it. Not yet, though.

Pretty much. Angle would be kind of an awful choice to train somebody, the guy pretty consistently has no knowledge of psychology whatsoever.

Ideally, Angle could still teach them moves, as well as amateur techniques to incorporate into their move sets. Some other guy could teach them the psychology stuff.

Casuals don't care for "teh workratez" but they do like cool "movez". As much as we hate it, Angle's style would easily get a guy over who has no other discernible character to connect with the crowd.
