Creative not at Mania afterparty, Sheamus "fined" for attacking ref, Questions on Diva Mania history, Sarita, Tamina recreating her father's splash, and Mania suggestions, WM28 reviewed by Huffington Post, CNN profiles Kaufman's wrestling stint, and a wounded Iraqi vet takes to wrestling

Members of the WWE Creative team were not allowed at the after-party for WrestleMania 28, despite being invited in past years. They understandably felt disrespected by this. They're an important part of putting the show together, so I don't see why they should be excluded.

To continue the angle from the end of Smackdown, Sheamus has been fined by John Laurinaitis for hitting the Brogue Kick on a referee. More consequences could be coming.

For my take on the Saturday PWInsider.com questions:
1. As they said, there are only so many things that they can feature. I don't consider that one of the greatest moments in the history of the event.

2. She's still in TNA. I haven't seen anything to suggest that that will be changing any time soon.

3. I personally think that's a pretty cool idea, but only to recreate that moment. However, it's dangerous, and I don't think they've built her up (or the Divas division as a whole) enough to justify doing it.

After the break, I go into everything else from Saturday. Next up, would Daniel Bryan use an old theme song of his?
4. While obviously there's a segment of the audience that would go crazy for that reference, they'd have to pay royalties for it and I don't know if it's worth it to change his theme music just for that segment of the audience. I think a lot of people would be more confused than appreciative.

5. I think Bryan will pull the Cattle Mutilation out again at some point (possibly in an area familiar with his ROH work), but since WWE is big on emotions and facial expressions, they prefer him doing something that has his face visible for the cameras. Hence, the Lebell Lock.

A columnist for the Huffington Post reviewed WrestleMania.

CNN.com looked back at the Kaufman/Lawler feud. Sounds like some zany, yet fascinating stuff.

Finally, here's a story on an Iraqi War veteran with a prosthetic leg competing as a wrestler. Quite the story!

That's all for Saturday's news. More to come tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
