Update on Madusa and her royalty payments from WWE

To follow up on the Madusa posting mentioned yesterday, she clarified on her Twitter account that those numbers were not her payment for those DVDs, so the numbers were probably the gross amount paid to talents, of which she received a % from. Madusa, responding to people claiming it was an April Fool's prank, commented, "Just to clear up the the royalty posting From WWE to me.... 1) i am not a liar it did come to me... Lol 2). It is the correct amount and Did I post THAT was my total take? NO! Like any other ent. Co.I got very little However I am still making nice royalty checks, thank u WWE"

I agree that Rock and Brock are two very different situations so while I thought the resentment with Rock was misplaced, I definitely get it with Brock. Dude didn't want to travel and didn't want to do put people, The Undertaker of all people, over and quit after a monster push.
He's going to have to earn the boys' respect this time around because for him to walk and literally come back and get everything he wants (limited schedule, main event push) without having to earn it, sets a bad precedent.

No doubt. The stunt that they pulled at Mania would have me fuming too and let's not forget how he treated Cena at Backlash 03 Are you sure he didn't want to put Taker over because from all indications Taker wanted to make Lesnar a star. Taker & Lesnar are still friends to this day and i can't see Taker being cool with someone who tried to shit on him. Another feeling i have is how many of those people were even around when Brock was there? I can understand Cena if he's a little pissed but aside from Orton who always follows Cena's lead who else is there?

Not many but everyone knows the story and everyone knows the reason Vince likes to yo-you guys is to test them to see if they pull a Brock on him.
Yeah, it was Taker. They were set to feud again with Taker going over before he put in his notice. Hell, he was supposed to go over Goldberg at Mania when he put in his (short) notice.
Personally, I hope he's matured and really wants to earn the boys' respect the right way and not end up looking like Ultimate Warrior 2.0.

There has been a lot of speculation on Paul Heyman returning to WWE now that Brock Lesnar has returned for at least a year. Word is that there are no plans for Heyman to come in, he was not part of the negotiations and is not a part of the deal.

Heyman simply isn't available as he has other things going on.

There are people in WWE who want Heyman to come back as a sort of "talking head" or a TV personality. Heyman is based in the Northeast and could be useful as a public figure for WWE.

WWE has reached out for Heyman to do interviews and things like that but he has turned them down every time because he has other priorities.

It's possible that we see Heyman return to WWE in the future but don't bet on it happening anytime soon, based on talk that's going around.

They wouldn't need to reach out to him if they weren't jealous dumbasses in the first place. That's one problem i have with Vince/Stephanie they let their jealousy make decisions for them, everyone knew how smart Heyman was but Steph couldn't take how foolish he made her ideas look. Heyman has shit planned out 3-6 months at a time while they jump week to week, and it's why there's never a clear cut direction of where the company is going. This past Monday was the first time i felt like the company was actually trying to put together a show, when most times it feels like they just pull shit out of a hat.

From what I've heard, Brock has been humbled and realizes the mistakes he's made. I'm sure he wants to make things right and if he had to, would start at the bottom but Vince sees the money signs and hopefully Lesnar proves to be a better man this time around and wants to help the younger stars instead of burying them.

Who you telling. Brock Lesnar had it all to be THE GUY in the company, but he just couldn't shake the fact that his heart was at home. Hopefully now that he has a light schedule and chased his dreams so to speak, his heart can once again be in wrestling. When that man gives it his all, you are guaranteed to be entertained.

Cena is really in Brock's spot. When Brock flaked, they had to choose between Cena and Batista and they went with the younger guy despite Batista's better political connections. He's not as big as he was and he's older now with some very public health issues so his window for being "The Man" has closed but he can draw some ratings and sell some merch.
That said, it's still the same shitty booking so I refuse to get my hopes up.

What Brock lacks in youth, he brings presence and ability. It's been so long, I think people forget just how good of a wrestler he was. Hopefully he shakes the rust off and like I said before, actually show passion this time.

True. A one year deal with a very limited schedule is the best for both parties.

I think almost breaking his neck also had him shook up even if he did wrestle for another year before quitting.

are brock and sable still a item i wonder..

 

[God's Son]

will they make Brock stop using the F-5 as a finisher ? i knew some moves they had banned

I would say Batista's injuries had more to do with Cena becoming the man, because you know as well as i do if HHH is behind you then you're guaranteed to go to the top. With Lesnar coming back we get to see just how badly creative fucks up this time since they can't seem to help themselves.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

I think they just stop making him do it against big guys like Big Show, Kane and Taker.

I forgot to mention his injuries too. Between that and his age, they saw Cena as a better choice even though Batista was the hotter guy coming off beating HHH in three straight ppvs, including WM.
The funny thing about the HHH stamp of approval, even when you have it (Sheamus) you still have to go the long way and you will still get the yo-yo booking like everyone else.
Seeing how boring they're making Sheamus makes me think they really can fuck up Brock.

I think they just stop making him do it against big guys like Big Show, Kane and Taker.

I don't even see him facing those guys at this point. Cena and probably Rock will be his opponents. Punk better be trying to get in on some of this because this is where the money is going to be.

I've been remiss to not say anything about Kamala and his current health issues. He now has to have his right foot amputated. He's already lost his left.

Too bad really.

From what his son is saying publicly, he's still in relatively good spirits.

Evan Bourne's Foot Injury Is Career Threatening
Date Added: April 04, 2012
Story By: Steve Carrier

Evan Bourne sustained a midfoot fracture dislocation in an undisclosed accident last week as his foot was broken in four spots and dislocated in five. According to the official website of Silverman Ankle & Foot Practice, his injury, also known as a LisFranc fracture dislocation, is a career threatening injury to athletes, even when treated well.

The website says, "It is unknown whether or not Bourne will return to wrestling after this injury but one thing is certain – it’s going to be a long road to recovery."

Wait .... Evan Bourne still has a deal with WWE ​

Epico Rants
Date Added: April 04, 2012
Story By: Steve Carrier

- One-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Epico posted the following rants on his Twitter today. It sounds like he's unhappy about being left off the WrestleMania 28 pay-per-view:

"Can you believe this @LaRosaMendes ? Every single WWE title was on The Wrestlemania PPV. But the WWE tag champs get the Pre-show"

"I thought this was WRESTLEmania.... No CONCERTmania... Who did Flo-rida and that MGK beat??? I guess they beat the tag champs"

"Not only the tag champs get left out of wrestlemania... We weren't even on Raw and it looks like we won't be on smackdown either..."

"and since when is Flo-rida, MGK and that menounos chick relevant to a wrestlemania????"

Tell us how you really feel

But in all seriousness, he is dead right on all points​

When I was little I lived 60 miles from memphis and I remember on wrestling they played that video of Kamala coming out the "jungle" which I later find out was Jerry Lawlers or Jerry Jarretts back yard. That scared the shit outta me. I hated that Vince turned him into a joke.

He picked up some weight again. That's nice to see, as I was worried after seeing how skinny he had gotten after leaving the WWE.

Evan's not fired yet and he's injured but I expect them to let him come back and then fire his ass.

Epico and them are either working an angle (WWE loves working social media now) or their following the Carlito formula on how to get fired. We'll see soon enough.

That shit was scary as hell. They aired it when he came to Georgia/TBS. I didnt realize how big he was until he squashed the Barbarian, who was being pushed as a bad ass dude.
I didn't like them have him play up the scared angle with Taker or turning him face. Once you take a big monster like Kamala and make him a comedy act, it's hard to take him serious again unless he damn near kills a guy.

Yep and putting a wig on them doesn't help.

They could have just put the mask back on but the wig makes it look stupid.

And if you're going to put the mask on, burn his face. A Jerry Lawler style fireball would do the trick.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Hard not to agree with Epico. They had time to squeeze in a fuckin' Broadus Clay dance number and let Flo-rida perform two songs, but the tag team titles can't make the main show? Flo-Rida, Diddy and MGK bringing out the Rock and Cena was wack as fuck anyway.

Rosa Mendes continued ranting on Twitter Wednesday about Epico and Primo being left off the WrestleMania 28 pay-per-view. As noted before, these comments from she and Epico are all part of the storylines:

"The dark match at #Wrestlemania isn't televised, we are Tag Team Champions!! I'm livid!!! Get it? Got it? Good!!"

"We are the most entertaining, athletic team in #WWE!!! People want to see us and wish they could be us!!"

"The fact that Maria Menounos had a #Wrestlemania match and we didn't. Disgusts me!! We are tag team Champions! It doesn't make any sense!"

End of that story

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

damn tell 'em how you really feel Big Poppa Pump

Scott Steiner has continued the Twitter rant he began earlier this week after he was released from TNA. Steiner has focused most of his dislike for Hulk Hogan, though he takes shots at Garett and Eric Bischoff and claims TNA controls Sting's Twitter account as well. Check out the tweets below:


When these assholes got control they tried to takeover everybodys twitter page

u didnt have twitter they made one up for U...so u people who think yur tweeting sting its not him

He told me he doesnt watch the show.so hes not tweeting about a show he doesnt watch

Evrybody refused to sign over twitter so every wk u get an email begging u to twitter what they want

Got one today,Please tweet this;Hogan take over as GM wonder what he will do...WTF really

Even if u r not on show Please tweet..so the booking team of pritchard bischoff n hogan wont book U want u to tweet about hogan

Tweet about yurself hogan nobody else wants to tweet about u u fucking mark

Im tweeting what they wish they could

Wondeting what hogans going to do...hmmmm...hes a fn mark so hes going to make a couple of matches that ppl want to see

Nothing more unprofessional than a heel wanting to be cheered

So ppl cheer him which pissd everybody off especially sting bcuz he had to wrestle him

Have the future of wrestling garrett do something bcuz eric told him to in booking meeting....what a fucking joke

Now hes good but hes going to everything like he did when he was bad bcuz he was first good

And that produced the worst ratings ever so he went bad which was just as bad as when he was good

Then his bad wasnt any good bcuz his ratings still sucked so he turnd back to good from bad

Wtf y'all get his bullshit ....dont forget to say BROTHER ..bcuz its fresh

Stupid mofo

Remember deny u had anything to do with the release of the sex tape to try n get more sales

How kardashian of u....Homomania running wild..his shit writes itself

His ex-wife said he was gay right!!!..hhmmm who brought in Orlando Jordan

 

[Upgrade Dave]

Wow.

Where's the heat come from? I don't remember him and Hogan ever beefing and his got his first big solo push under Bischoff.

[Multi - Personality]

HOLY SHIT!!!

This is wild as hell, but with Bischoff running the show and Hogan just being the masthead does not surprise me one bit.

Pushing Garrett is the most asinine thing i have ever watched happen in TNA.

Everybody knows daddy's pulling the strings in this one and everything else.

Damn i miss Crockett.

Dixie has no idea what to do anymore and just let the asylum run wild with Pritchard, Hogan and definitely Bischoff.

NoDQ.com >WWE Wants a Top Star in Marine 3
Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/05/2012 at 04:57 PM


- WWE Champion CM Punk, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, JTG and Kofi Kingston have all been rumored to replace Randy Orton in WWE's The Marine 3. Because the movie is co-promoted with 20th Century Fox, WWE wants a big named star in the movie and the number of guys at or near Orton's level are limited. The movie begins filming in June so we should hear something soon.

I thought they wanted a big named star ??? shit when was the last time we saw JTG on RAW or Smackdown ?​

 

[blackras9]

Steiner is hardly the first wrestler to hate Hogan. Just add him to the list.
