So much for new talent being injected into WWE's women's division.According to Wrestlezone, Sofia Cortez (real name Ivelisse Velez) has been released from her contract:Former Tough Enough contestant Ivelisse Velez was recently released from her WWE contract. Ivelisse had been working down in FCW under the name Sofia Cortez since November of 2011, and had recently made appearances on the brand new WWE NXT, even defeating WWE Diva Natalya by countout. This release came as a surprise to many, including some within WWE. This is complete stunner, at least to me (and, apparently, to many in WWE).Cortez was one of the ...

Those who have been upset about Chris Jericho disappearing before SummerSlam, despair no longer. Wrestlezone is reporting (by way of PWInsider.com) that Jericho's touring scheduling with Fozzy has changed for the better (WWE-wise):According to PWInsider.com, Chris Jericho's band Fozzy is no longer being advertised to play the Uproar Music Festival on August 19th, making Jericho available to appear at SummerSlam.The question becomes, though, what does WWE do with Jericho now that they know this information?Jericho is currently in a feud with up-and-coming main-event player Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler, despite winning Money in the Bank, desperately needs something to finally put him ...

Thank you to everyone for the phenomenal feedback to my article on WWE's biggest busts of the 21st century.One of the most common things people mentioned was that I missed some superstars on this list. Some of them I had definitely considered, but, after hearing out the reasoning of my readership, I decided to add them in.On the other hand, some of them were obvious choices that I completely missed on for one reason or another. Then again, with some of the pushes/introductory video packages that some of these people got, I feel like it's a sure indicator of a ...

Sin Cara, a guy who cannot afford too much more ill will or anymore strikes against him in WWE, is back in the spotlight for (you guessed it) botching a spot. According to Wrestlezone (by way of SuperLuchas.net), Dolph Ziggler is angry with Sin Cara over a miscue at Money in the Bank: ...Ziggler was said to have been very vocal backstage following the bout, complaining to officials that Cara worked stiffly during the match and failed to protect him during a high-risk maneuver off the top rope known as The Spanish Fly. The report goes on to further note that ...

One of the things that many WWE fans like to do is claim that the company is going in the wrong direction. WWE needs some more talent, some better storylines, because it's becoming stale. One of the most common things I hear and see in response: "TNA is doing it better! TNA should be competing!" or something along those lines.So, I've decided to take them up on their claims: I'm going to watch—through the magic of Youtube—the most recent episode of TNA from 7/19 and see exactly what TNA is offering and give my thoughts and analysis along the way. ...

It has been reported on Wrestlezone (via F4W) that there is a lot of backstage concern over the pending Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar feud: F4Wonline.com is reporting that there's a lot of concern from those backstage in WWE about the Brock Lesnar versus Triple H storyline going forward. The worry is that since Lesnar hasn't been on television in several months, and the storyline hasn't been addressed consistently, that the interaction the two have at the 1000th Raw might not go off as well as WWE wants. To anyone following WWE recently, it's not like this revelation should be a big ...

With WWE’s Money in the Bank PPV looming on Sunday, it looks more and more likely that Dolph Ziggler will finally ascend the ladder (pun intended) and win his first Money in the Bank briefcase, thereby assuring him of a title shot at the World Heavyweight Title whenever he wants.After months (longer, if you count his blink-and-you-missed-it title run a year ago) of competing in the upper-midcard/main event, after coming oh-so-close to winning the title on a few different occasions, it looks like it might be Ziggler’s time after all. History has shown that, once Ziggler wins the MITB briefcase, ...

Wrestlezone has posted a story—though WrestleShark.com—about an interview done with former Tough Enough champion Daniel Puder.In it, Puder discusses a number of issues, most significantly his infamous 2004 match with Kurt Angle in which he locked Angle in a kimura and almost got the former Olympic gold medalist and WWE champ to tap out on national TV.Puder calls Angle a "wimp" for refusing to actually fight him due to the incident, specifically mentioning that Dana White offered Angle over $2 million dollars to take on Puder in a UFC match, even though he goes on to praise Angle for being a "strong guy."It's been ...

As you no doubt know, the 1,000th episode of Raw is almost upon us. In a little over two weeks, WWE's flagship TV show will celebrate this impressive milestone and will also move to a permanent three-hour format.There has been a lot of discussion about how the three-hour show should be run, whether it's a good idea, and other such issues. But what I want to talk about today is something else that will be revealed at Raw 1,000: the unveiling of the new permanent general manager of Raw.I think that, in tandem with this reveal, WWE should go ahead ...

According to Wrestlezone, current TNA (and former WWE) star Kurt Angle recently posted the following on Twitter: "I Whipped Robbie E in 40 Seconds. I'm The Best In Wrestling today. Not Orton or Cena or CM Punk. I Am the Best. And I'm TNA!" "I'm the Best Ever." I don't know how beating Robbie E (who has talent but is not a top-flight guy) in 40 seconds makes Kurt Angle the best in wrestling today.  I certainly don't think he is better than CM Punk right now (maybe Cena and possibly Orton).  Also, why did Angle decide to suddenly take a shot ...
