Oh no he didn’t! Reports have run rife over the Internet this week that John Morrison gave his WrestleMania tag team partner, Trish Stratus, the ‘cold shoulder’ and vetoed ideas that she had for their work together.
Speaking to Sirius/XM’s Busted Open radio show today while in New York for a press day, Stratus confirmed that she was shunned by the Raw Superstar.
Stratus told the program:
Last week, during iMPACT!, we saw a singles match between two rival Knockouts, battling for the affection of a drugged out and clearly twitterpated, blonde Canadian. It saw a sad defeat and a declaration of rescue, made by a scorned best friend, set for vengeance. This week, our beloved Beautiful People are set to challenge for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships, in hopes of possibly rekindling the fire of their friendship. Will we see a positive reunion between the two blonde BFFs or has the sinister wicked witch finally ripped them apart for good? There is only one way to find out. Saddle up, boys and girls.
Our first major glimpse of Knockouts action comes in the form of a backstage segment that shows Angelina Love, with her back to the camera. Winter is at her side, clearly stressed out and attempting to persuade Angelina, once again, that Velvet Sky does not care about her. She states that Velvet doesn’t have Angelina’s best interest at heart like she does. She tells Angelina that she loves her and will always be there for her. With a twirl of the chair, that damn mystery red cup rears its ugly head and Winter tells her new playtoy to drink her drink, it will calm her nerves. I’m pretty sure the only one needing calming of ther nerves here is Winter. Give that woman some prozac or something. Perhaps even a straight jacket will do the trick.
Trish Stratus’ official website has unleashed the world premiere of the trailer for ‘Bail Enforcers’, Trish’s debut movie, and let’s just say that the 7-time Women’s Champion hasn’t skipped a beat when it comes to dishing out a beatin’.
A new FCW Divas Champion was crowned last night. Spoilers below:
After airing its last episode on WGN America last night, PWInsider reports that WWE Superstars will live on via the Internet. The series will be broadcast via YouTube, according to the report. I’m assuming it’ll also be on the WWE website. Looks the Divas will continue to have an arena for lengthy matches!

TNA Xplosion has Mickie vs Rosita on this week’s show:
World Wrestling Entertainment is no longer.
The company is now simply going by its initials: WWE.
In a major rebranding announced today, the company revealed that it will be expanding outside of wrestling with plans for a cable network, and getting involved in things like live television and live event production, something which, it can’t be denied, WWE excels in.

WSU’s Cindy Rogers will be retiring following one last match on June 25th at WSU’s Uncensored Rumble iPPV.
Her opponent that night will be her good friend Allison Danger, who will be appearing for WSU for one night.
Rogers’ statement below:
I started this journey of pro wrestling 10 years ago, and it has been the greatest ride. Due to a permanent neck injury I sustained in a car accident 2 years ago I have to announce my retirement from this sport I love. It’s a decision that I have put off for a long time now. Physically I needed to do it awhile ago, but mentally I just couldn’t do it. Unfortunately the physical part has taken a priority. I will be retiring on 6/25 at the WSU show in Union City, NJ.
I had the pleasure of working with some of the best female wrestlers out there and some of them in my opinion are the best of all time who don’t get the credit they deserve. I’ve also been able to not just meet, but work with some of the legends I grew up watching. It has been said that it is hard to make friends in this business, but I have been lucky to make many friends including ones who I also consider family-you guys know who you are :)
Spoilers for Friday’s SmackDown:
The hotly anticipated premiere of Tough Enough last night had high expectations: Big stars attached including ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Trish Stratus, a plum post-WrestleMania debut and lots of mainstream media hype. A tall order, I’m sure you’ll agree. USA Network’s attempt at Tough Enough certainly met that order — and perhaps even exceeded it with an energetic and highly entertaining first episode.
Let’s break it down…
Fresh off of her WrestleMania win last night, seven time WWE Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus teamed up with John Morrison once again to face off against Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler this week on Raw. Can the ‘Diva of the Decade’ and ‘The Shaman of Sexy’ pull out another win? Check out the match below:
The segment starts off with Vickie and Dolph coming down to the ring and pinning the blame for their loss at WrestleMania on Lay-Cool and challenges Trish and John Morrison to a mixed tag match. Never ones to pass up a challenge, Trish and JoMo accept (after a short commercial break).
John Morrison and start the match off, and after a bit of back and forth, Morrison gets the upperhand, sending Dolph scrambling to his corner to tag in Vickie. In an attempt to mock Snooki’s back handspring at WrestleMania, Vickie tries her best to hit a cartwheel. Vickie celebrates her acrobatic feat, but takes her eye off of Trish and get rolled up for a nearfall.
Despite saying one week ago that she’d accept an offer to become a full-time WWE Diva, now that WrestleMania is over, Snooki is telling a different story. When asked by TMZ if she’d continue with wrestling, she said: “I’m so busy with Jersey Shore so I doubt it.” You can watch the clip here. Thoughts: … Read more

Pro-Wrestling: EVE has announced a new venue and start time for their event on Friday after their original venue backed out yesterday just days before the show.
Full details below:
URGENT AND IMPORTANT UPDATE! CHANGE OF VENUE TO THIS FRIDAY’S SHOW IN
NORWICH!At 2.54pm on Monday April 4th Pro-Wrestling:EVE was informed by The Royal
British Legion in Norwich (the venue for the Friday April 8 EVE DVD
Tapings) that the venue was cancelling the event. The reason we were
initially given was that there had been complaints made to the police
about the venue holding a women’s wrestling event. These complaints lead
to the Police Licensing Department investigating the venue thus the venue
cancelled the upcoming show. It has since emerged that the Royal British
Legion who have held regular wrestling events at their venue in the past
did not have the sufficient licensing in place as claimed by the venue
management upon accepting the hire.
The USA Network’s official website has an exit interview with Ariane, who was the first contestant cut from Tough Enough last night, here. She basically proceeds to say that it isn’t the last we’ve seen of her and she’ll one day be a WWE Diva.
Ariane Andrew was the first contestant cut on the revival of Tough Enough tonight. Citing Alicia Fox vs Melina as her favourite match and describing wrestling as her ‘new passion’, host Stone Cold decided that she wasn’t Tough Enough. However, the cut makes no difference because Andrew has confirmed via Twitter that she will be … Read more
