Brock Lesnar was reportedly irate following Extreme Rules, as the original plan was for Cena to be carried out instead of cutting a promo. Lesnar perceived the promo as Cena double-crossing him and lost it on some WWE officials, even going so far as to attempt to rip apart a dressing room. Wow.
Sin Cara is scheduled to return to the ring for the next tour of Mexico. Glad to hear it.
Here's the poster for TNA Slammiversary.
For my take on the 5/1 PWInsider.com questions:
1. Good point. It could have. It also continued the story of Cena losing from Mania, so it can go both ways.
Nothing to add to 2, so I'll move on after the break to everything else from 5/1. Next, a question on midcarders moving up.
3. For me, Bradshaw. I remember thinking that his character change and push came out of nowhere and he wasn't ready for the WWE Title.
4. They might be cutting some current members of the roster to put in some new names. I share the concern either way, especially when a lot of people they're bringing in haven't been hitting home runs. I'm sure the TNA originals are less than thrilled with the changes. According to Scott Steiner, we almost had to sit through Garett AND Nick Hogan getting pushed. They're correct that 2012 audience doesn't seem to be responding to the rehashes of Hogan and Bischoff. To me it feels like saving a current TV show by having David Hasselhoff play something similar to his "Baywatch" character because it worked back in the day.
5. 21-0 presumably. From the sounds of things, it's assumed he'll be around for at least one more Mania match. I don't see Rock or Lesnar wanting to lose to him, so we might be in for another blast to the past.
Rey Mysterio has been pulled from some autograph signings due to his Wellness suspension. Obviously the company's not too happy he failed that test.
Chris Jericho is booked for a Fozzy tour from 8/15-9/30, so he'll be off of TV by then. He could always return, though, maybe even in time for Survivor Series.
"Gut Check" contestant Alex Silva was profiled in Canada after being signed by TNA.
TNA released Anarquia, which makes me wonder what they're going to do with Hernandez, Sarita, and Rosita. The Knockouts get used fairly often, but Hernandez doesn't appear much.
The 4/30 Raw did a 3.3, with hours of 3.41 and 3.27. Given that they told fans that Brock left, it's not surprising that some of them did, too.
Finally, Cody Rhodes was interviewed ahead of a Smackdown taping. I like that he worked on the road with a veteran and learned from him.
That's all for the 5/1 news. 5/2's should be up today as well. Up next is the 5/2 NXT. Thanks for reading!
