WWE News And Rumors For Feb. 18, 2011
WWE News And Rumors For 2/18/2011
By Reporter / WrestleSite.com
Jericho's interview promoting the book release of "Undisputed" was recorded on Wednesday morning and will air in its entirety on Wednesday afternoon at 3:05 p.m. EST on Sirius 125, XM 241.
WrestleMania needing a big angle:
"Absolutely, but what's wrong with that? I mean, last week I listened to your guys's show and you guys were complaining as critics do that WrestleMania had no jump to it. Vince McMahon is a genius. You can say what you want and whatever you want to say. He will always pull stuff out his ass. You wait and see what he comes up with at WrestleMania. You think "The Rock" is the last thing is going to be the big selling point. No way! I'm sure he's got two or three other things up his sleeve for this WrestleMania… There's still five weeks until WrestleMania."
TNA:
"When I worked for WAR in Japan, the company was half the size of new Japan, but for me, WAR was the best company in the world, and if anybody talked badly about my company, I'll fight you. And if we had any kind of interaction with New Japan, I wasn't trying to work for New Japan, I didn't give a s- about working for New Japan, all I cared about was working for WAR, and flying the banner as high as I could… I don't care if TNA is the worst company in the world, I don't care. Once you sign a contract for there, you work for Dixie Carter, and you do the best you can to make people believe it's the best company in the world, and if all you're doing is b-- about WWE, then go f-- work for WWE, or act like a hasbeen that used to work there. TNA should be the best place in the world to work, and if you don't believe that, the fans won't believe it, they're not gonna buy your product, they're not gonna believe your product, and they're not gonna watch your product."
A WWE return:
"Now that's the thing people ask me 'When are you coming back to wrestling? When are you going to do this? When are you going to do that?' I got asked today 'Are you? - the rumor is you're the new singer of Velvet Revolver?' Even if I was the lead singer of Velvet Revolver, even if I was coming out of the Chamber why would I tell you a-holes?"
-Scott Hall's Twitter noted that he and Sean Waltman will be filming a shoot interview next week under their Wolfpac Productionsbanner
- Kevin Nash is starring in a new DVD movie called Monster Brawl which also stars former WWE star Kurrgan, WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart and UFC referee Herb Dean.
- Several sources are under the impression that Alberto Del Rio isn't thrilled about Mistico coming to WWE. Del Rio realizes Rey Mysterio's WWE run probably won't last another 5 years and he doesn't want any competition in that top Hispanic role.
- Matt Hardy garnered some heat in the locker room for taking credit for the recent TNA Impact ratings spike coinciding with his arrival to the organization and being paired with his brother.
He wrote on Twitter following the February 3 episode, which scored a strong 1.3 cable rating: "Hulkster & Jeff brought me in & the ratings keep growin-Coincidence?I think not! FACT! .. Dixie, u can thank ME & Jeff 4 the ratings jump-just saying."
"When guys do that, they bury themselves with the boys," said one company source.
- WWE Studios' The Chaperone with Triple H hits theaters today on a limited release. Here are some reviews on the movie. Currently on RottenTomatoes.com, the movie has a "rotten" rating of 25% with a 3.1 out of 10 average rating, based on 12 reviews.
Variety: "Presumably there's an audience out there for old-fashioned, poorly written, unevenly thesped, family-friendly tales of redemption starring beefy wrestlers and a bunch of kids, but it's difficult to imagine who."
Hollywood Reporter: "This lame WWE produced family comedy isn't likely to turn wrestling star Paul "Triple H" Levesque into a household name."
Los Angeles Times: "Like last year's "Legendary" and "Knucklehead," which didn't exactly slam moviegoers to the mat with their entertainment chops, this haphazardly clichéd comedy-drama about redemption similarly suffers."
Filmcritic.com: "If WWE is going to continue to insist on placing its stars in ill-fitting projects like this, the least it could do is spring for some livelier material."
Roger Moore: "As funny as these guys can be when they work themselves into a purple-faced rage yelling at the TV camera, none of the current generation of wrestler-actors seem to have the charisma or comic gifts of a Hulk Hogan or Dwayne Johnson."
New York Observer: "As long as the poker-faced "Triple H" is the centerpiece, The Chaperone is not without moments of genuine sweetness. Best of all, he is the most unpretentious and least flamboyant human juggernaut to ever hit the screen."
New York Post: "Stephen Herek's "The Chaperone" is dreadful enough to make you wish Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was still making family movies.Wrestling champ Paul "Triple H" Levesque is a fairly painless screen presence, but his taste in scripts may be even worse than former WWE colleague Johnson's."
