Wrestling Deals – WWE News, Deals and More

At the ‘Get Smart’ preview today, The Rock a.k.a “Dwayne Johnson” answered many questions from fans. One such fan was bold enough to ask The Rock whether or not if he will ever return to wrestling, and if he will go with his promise he did at the WWE hall of fame on whether or not he will face John Cena in a match…

Several sources inside the WWE were surprised to hear reports of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being aloof backstage at the Hall of Fame. They thought he was just being his regular Dwayne Johnson self and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
Apparently there were only a couple people upset with Johnson, but they were, of course, the top people in the company. Most of the heat on The Rock has been attributed to either jealousy or not knowing that he had to leave immediately because he’s working on the Witch Mountain film.

The Rock talked to Mr McMahon before the show and talked about having some fun on the show and having a long monologue to open up the show as if he was the host of the show. The Rock told Vince that he would roast some of the guys in attendance and be self-deprecating. McMahon loved the idea and Rock apparently said that he was having a great time and would have gone for another hour if he could have.

If you remember Both The Rock’s and Flair’s speeches went long, but only Flair was told to ‘wrap it up.’

So maybe the whole this is just a mole hill after all.

Recently we posted about Jesse Ventura’s interview and his beliefs on Hulk Hogan, well here’s even more.

In an interview with WrestlingWorldInsanity.com, Jesse Ventura had some rather harsh words for Hulk Hogan. After years of speculation, Ventura has revealed that it was none other than Hulk Hogan who ratted him out to Vince McMahon for wanting to form a wrestlers union in the late 1980s. The union issue was one of the major factors that contributed to McMahon and Ventura’s strained relationship back in the day:

“Let me say this. Hogan was the biggest thing ever in wrestling. You know, in our era, there’s no doubt about that. Hulkamania on all that, but it’s like my agent in Hollywood would say. When everyone was Hulkamania this, Hulkamania that, my agent kept saying, “Yeah. That’s great. But this Jesse Ventura is truly more talented.” Hogan and I have not been on good terms for a long, long time ever since I tried to unionize wrestling and he’s the one who ratted me to Vince. So, at that time, I realized this so-called friend was indeed not a friend; that he was completely in it for himself. But that’s the nature of the business. You know, it is a cut-throat business and I accept that. I don’t have a great deal of respect for Hogan, today, and one of the reasons is because of that show he does, “Hogan Knows Best.” This is just my opinion, but I’d never exploit my family that way to the media. I think that’s grasping at stardom and attempting to stay on top.”

Ouch. Now I want to see the Hulkster’s response…
