Anonymous WWE Superstar Has Message for Internet Fans Behavior

1

F4Wonline.com reports that a top WWE Superstar, who asked to remain anonymous, asked them to print the following letter in this week’s newsletter:

“Internet is so funny. You all read the sites so you all should know the ‘plans’ for Mania. None of those plans have Bryan in a title match so the internet exploding at the end of the show is beyond laughable. Plus dont hate on Rey, he didn’t book himself as #30. The way most of you were acting the company should have called an audible and put Brooklyn Brawler as #30 just to piss you off even more. over 50,000 mania tix sold and a network that will change your life for ever is about to launch, so just relax and enjoy the product the company gives you. By the way, didn’t you all s–t on the wwe for the Sept – Nov ppvs last year and said you were done, but turned around to watch/buy the Rumble? Pittsburgh you were an awesome crowd and it was an honor to be in your building last night”

Goldust Signs Contract Extension / Wrestling Cody at WrestleMania?

0

WWE Superstar Goldust’s current contract was set to expire after WrestleMania XXX. Due to Dustin’s tremendous work ethic since returning to the company, the WWE has opted to extend his contract through Summerslam, with the likelihood of Goldust returning to an agent role following his time in the ring.

There are said to be serious talks of going through with the long petitioned Goldust vs. Cody Rhodes match at WrestleMania XXX, so much so that one member of creative stated it’s as good as inked.

WrestleMania Matches Being Changed / Sting’s Potential Role in WWE

0

– With the drama that has unfolded within WWE in the past week, WWE creative is now looking at several different options for WrestleMania XXX. The first is a Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H match with possibly the stipulation that Bryan gets a WWE World Heavyweight Title shot at Extreme Rules in Seattle. If Bryan ends up working Triple H at WrestleMania, they may put Sheamus in a match with Kane. John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt and Batista vs. Randy Orton would still happen.

Another option is John Cena vs. Triple H, Sheamus vs. Bray Wyatt and Orton vs. Batista vs. Bryan in a three-way for the belt.

The other option they are looking at is Sheamus vs. Triple H, Cena vs. Wyatt and Bryan vs. Orton vs. Batista in a three-way.

———————————————-

– The latest on Sting is that he still has not signed but the general feeling is that it’s a foregone conclusion that he’s coming in. While he’s not expected to be rushed into a match at WrestleMania XXX, word is that the working idea right now is for Sting to possibly be the new RAW General Manager.
