Isn't the Monarch asking the Brits to pay up more because they are going broke?

Not to my awareness, but for some reason, it wouldn't surprise me too much

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Randy Orton recently made some harsh comments concerning former WWE and current TNA star Ken Anderson. Orton had the following to say:
"He is in denial. He thinks you have to be able to do a moonsault to know how to work. And, as far as dropping me on my head, he did. He never got to see all 4 camera angles of him doing it. I did. Plus, the left side of my neck down to my trap was sore all week in Mexico. I did tell Ken that he shouldn't be dropping me on my head with such a simple basic move. He never said sorry, and even called me a liar after the match. I remember looking at him in disbelief. And yes, I did tell management I did not want to work with him after that. Who wouldn't? That's my side.
There is another thing...never did I get my neck taped as he claims it was in that interview. Also, the whole bearhug story does have some truth to it. Early in the day that morning in LA, he came up behind me and grabbed around my chest and picked me up off of the floor. I don't know anyone who enjoys being tackled from behind and picked up off the floor. When he let go and I realized it was Ken, I was like, `oh, ok, you're back, cool.' My reaction of his big return was watered down and I found it very funny reading in his interview that he left like I had an agenda, or almost like I wanted him gone.
Not until I was given a belly to back suplex onto the back of my neck did I have any negative feelings with Mr. Anderson. I honestly hope for his wife's sake that he can find something else he's marginally good at, and earn a living. I know he really wants to entertain, so good luck Ken, you are gonna need it."

Accidents happen all the time though, especially in that business. Orton shouldn't be so much of a pussy that he goes to management after one alleged slip up.

Sounds like he DID want him gone, doesn't it?

Credit: F4WOnline.com It's reported that WWE star Mark Henry was injured on RAW this past Monday night. The injury came when Wade Barrett awkwardly dropped Henry on his back at the end of their bout on Raw. For those who may have missed it, Barrett almost fell over when he had Henry on his shoulders to give him his finisher, and when he dropped him to the mat, Henry landed hard on his shoulder and back. It is unknown at this time how serious the injury to Henry is, but it is serious enough that he had to miss the following night's NXT taping. Credit: F4WOnline.com It seems there might be some tension right now between WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and former WWE superstar Shawn Michaels. According to Dave Meltzer, McMahon recently made the call to have the announcers no longer mention Michaels on air and for there to be no footage of him shown on WWE television. Reports are circulating that the reasoning behind this was that Michaels was very unhappy about the Bryan Danielson situation. It's also believed that McMahon is upset that HBK decided to call time on his wrestling career, as McMahon felt there was still more years left in the tank. Michaels is said to be very distanced from having any involvement with wrestling at this point. WrestleMania 26 - The Network Television PremiereFor the second consecutive year, NBC and World Wrestling Entertainment will bring the world’s biggest pop culture event to network television when WrestleMania XXVI: The World Television Premiere airs Saturday, Aug. 7 at 9 pm ET / 8 pm CT. The special will feature highlights from WrestleMania XXVI set to music from today’s hottest acts in one lightning-fast hour of family-friendly programming. For one night only, NBC will be the one and only place, where television viewers can witness the grandeur and spectacle of the world-wide phenomenon that is WrestleMania. WWE Superstars such as John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio and Edge entertained a sold-out crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. While the University of Phoenix has hosted the Super Bowl, major college bowl games and high profile concerts, nothing compared to the magnitude of WrestleMania’s non-stop action and thrilling pyrotechnics. NBC will be presenting The Show of Shows in breathtaking high-definition. The highlight of the NBC special will feature what turned out to be one of the greatest matches in WWE history. Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are two of the most prolific superstars in WWE history, for one of them, this match was his last. More than 72,000 fans were on their feet throughout the emotional rollercoaster of athleticism. The two immortals put on a performance that thrilled the audience and in the end, reduced grown men to tears. WWE made history at the University of Phoenix Stadium, as WrestleMania XXVI became the highest grossing entertainment event ever held at the stadium. A total of 72,219 fans from all 50 states and 26 countries attended the event, outdrawing Super Bowl XLII (71,101 attendance) in the same building. WWE’s annual extravaganza was broadcast around the world on pay-per-view in more than 100 countries and 20 languages. |

Didn't know Vince was in the business of telling Wrestlers how their bodies feel and how long they have left in Wrestling  |

I hope the reasoning behind this isn't true. I may have disliked a couple of things about Michaels in the ring, but that is a really petty reason for banning any mention of him. He wanted to retire, presumably to spend time with his family, you'd think Vince would be more agreeable. It's not like he retired the night before a big push or angle, so I really hope that's just bullshit and that there's another reason for it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

Just my opinion, but I think we really need to pay less attention to stories/rumours written on internet wrestling sites. They usually turn out to be falso or fairly embellished

I agree with that to a point Rob...the things I post as news should ALWAYS be taken with a pinch of salt...that's why I always include sources because that way we can pretty much figure out which has more credibility...also the BIG reason I post these things is to spark conversation about a form of entertainment we all love so much...

Understandable. I'd like to know how Ric Flair feels about Jay Lethal's impersonations of him. I thought he was really good, quite funny too.
