Federline Popular, Extreme Chris Masters & More

News

Kevin Federline made a good impression backstage during his time in WWE, eating with the other talent in the catering section unlike most other guest stars, talking with them and asking for advice in his angle. There was a feeling that his attitude was better than a lot of the wrestlers. In other Federline news, his appearance on Monday’s RAW has been covered virtually everywhere, including morning shows, late-night talk shows, in a syndicated Associated Press article and gossip columns throughout the U.S.

Chris Masters might be the next person to get moved to ECW, with Dave Lagana and Brian Gewirtz both lobbying to use him on their brands.

The current plan is to reform La Resistance on Smackdown with Sylvain Grenier and Rob Conway, although that hasn’t been finalised yet.

Shawn Michaels’ comments on the 01/01 Raw about people who call themselves “the best in-ring performer of this generation” was aimed specifically at both Bret Hart and Kurt Angle. Michaels apparently feels that both he and Ric Flair are the best in-ring performers of modern times and resents others who claim they are.

A lot of new models will debut on Smackdown soon. They will do bumpers welcoming people back from commercial breaks whilst in various positions.

Cartoon Network and WWE have come to an agreement over the similarities between the Assy McGee and Mr McMahon’s Ass cartoons. There will not be a lawsuit.

WrestleMania XXIV was originally slated to be held in Las Vegas but WWE is now keen on holding it in Orlando. Make of that what you will.
