http://www.yardbarker.com/wwe Recent articles about WWE en-us I am not looking forward to this week’s episode of Impact. It reportedly got the lowest rating since TNA Wrestling’s failed “Monday Night Wars, Part 2”, and those were some of the worst episodes ever.

Goldberg replied and said Triple H: “Hunter…..hands down…..RT” The fan replied with the following tweet and Goldberg said his observation was “spot on”: “any particular reason or just the overall doucheness and politicking he exhibits?” Another fan asked Goldberg when he would be coming back to WWE. He replied, “When they learn how to run a business.” Finally, a fan asked Goldberg if he would come back to WWE and feud with Ryback. The former World Heavyweight Champion replied, “…..if they knew how to do business I’d consider it…..” Backstage News on a Future WWE Hall of Famer Returning to RAW, Big Plans for 2 RAW Mid-carders This Summer, More… Sat, 18 May 2013 10:17:39 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/wwe/article_external/goldberg_has_words_for_triple_h_comments_on_a_wwe_return/13644652 http://network.yardbarker.com/wwe/article_external/goldberg_has_words_for_triple_h_comments_on_a_wwe_return/13644652 Goldberg Has Words for Triple H, Comments on a WWE Return http://www.yardbarker.com/wwe/articles/goldberg_has_words_for_triple_h_comments_on_a_wwe_return/13644652 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png We here at TVF love wrestling. One of the biggest personalities on WWE is wrestler Glenn Jacobs, better known as “Kane”, a loveable(?) giant whose character has recently been involved in fantastic storylines involving a love triangle, an unlikely partnership and a championship, albeit a tag team one. Now picture that same man, wearing a suit and going to Congress. No it’s not the plot of some Adam Sandler movie (yet), but rather an intriguing possibility in Tennessee. Via Reason: “…sources close to the one-time World Heavyweight Champion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar…is ‘open to the possibility of considering a primary campaign against Sen. Lamar Alexander’ for the Tennessee Senate seat (Alexander) has held since 2003.” Jacobs, a Libertarian who in the past has been a rather large (no pun intended) supporter of Ron Paul, has neither confirmed nor denied the rumor that he would be open for running against Alexander. We all know the stereotypes associated with wrestler...

USA Today report that the funding will be spread over a 3 year period… “Obviously, I think it’s such a huge concern for everybody right now in sports and in the military. As we learn more and more about concussions and what can become of it, I think it’s a problem for everybody,” says Triple H. “We took out the things that … caused the most concussions and the most head impacts…We still hit people with metal chairs, just not in the head anymore.” Following the Chris Benoit tragedy WWE downplayed the idea that Benoit’s in-ring concussions impaired his mental state and they further distanced themselves from the Sports Legacy Institute during Linda McMahon’s political campaigning, as Chris Nowinski was particularly critical of her. It’s encouraging to see they’re now on the same page.

Heyman is of course Brock Lesnar’s advocate, as well as former WWE Champion CM Punk, who is currently on sabbatical from the company.

In collaboration with MichelleMcCool.net, the four-time champion candidly addresses her relationship with "The Deadman" in a video blog that will be released this summer. A teaser has been released where she appears to respond to critics attributing her lofty position in WWE to her influential partner rather than her ability to perform.

The PPV emanates from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, MO. The build up to this PPV has been just average.

Here are the highlights… His friendship with Chris Benoit: For the people that didn’t know Chris, he was the kindest human being you would ever find on this planet. I don’t know what happened, I just honestly couldn’t tell you what happened. Chris was one of the kindest, politest people. I never saw the guy get mad, not one single time. He didn’t get upset about anything. When I was writing the book and reflecting back on him, it was kinda hard because then I started thinking about it again, and it’s almost like it’s hard to believe that he’s not here anymore. Me and him were pretty close; we confided a lot in each other. It was very tough, just thinking about it and talking about it. Back when it had happened, that’s something that you’ve got to push out of you mind right away, because you have to move forward.

You have a guy with a good look, charisma, and outstanding ring work who you perceive the fans are finding boring and you blame him? What am I missing here because I have to be missing something?

After WrestleMania 29’s disappointing outcome, WWE has to really impress the fans with quality matches and more importantly, smart booking.

Unfortunately it’s not for a good reason. Austin Aries has come under fire for actions against Christy Hemme and while TNA says it has been handled, the question of when has become an even bigger story.
