Speculation On WWE Retiring World Title Belt

Cena - Flair - RAW - World Title Belt

 

 

Last night on RAW before the main event, WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena met Ric Flair on the stage & let him raise the World Heavyweight Title belt( the big gold one) in the air. Cena then told Flair to keep it & Flair left with it.

There is speculation that WWE has retired the World Heavyweight Title belt.

Since Randy Orton became the first WWE World Heavyweight Champion, WWE has persisted with the champ carrying around two belts.

It hasn’t been confirmed if WWE has retired the belt. WWE has made no mention of the belt’s status.

20140706-181959.jpg

It is being reported on the inter webs that according to fans it attendance at the “WWE LIVE” show in Toronto CA today, professional wrestler Santino Marella (real name Anthony Carelli) announced his retirement. Santino was billed as Italian but really is Canadian. According to fans Marella came out and said he’s suffered his third neck injury and he’s sorry he can’t preform anymore but is proud to be Canadian.

Santino Marella made his debut in 2003 as a fan in the crowd who challenged the late Umaga for the IC title and actually ended up winning the title with a little help from Bobby Lashly

He was a face his entire time with the WWE & served predominately as a comedic relief. One of his most memorable moments was his “Santina” persona who just so happened to win the very first “Miss Wrestlemania battle royal” at Wrestlemania 25

On behalf of everyone here at DTRTwrestling we would like to wish Santino all the best and thank him for the memories.
Are you a fan of Santino and are you saddened by the news? What is your favorite Santino moment? Let us know.

WWE diva Emma released

20140702-142806.jpg

Here I was having a great day hanging with my best friend and in a blink of an eye my day went from great to pretty crappy. It was reported on WWE.com that Diva Tenille Dashwood better known as Emma has been released from the flagship that is known as WWE. Emma was a fan favorite in NXT with the start of the Emmalution and how can one forget her phenomenal match with Paige on “NXT arrival” earlier this year? Emma made her debut In WWE as “a sign holder” getting the universe to join her in the Emmalution, and eventually was paired up with Santino Merella.

It was reported monday night that Emma was arrested on shoplifting charges. It’s being said that WWE had no eventual plans for her and this shop lifting incident is what led to the decision to let her go. It should be noted that WWE had originally stated that it was a misunderstanding and that they were behind Emma.

Now here’s my take on the situation and please excuse me for being blunt but I think it’s complete BULLSHIT. How is it fair that Cameron can have a DUI and she’s still with the company, or how about Jack swagger and Randy Orton violating the wellness program numerous times and yet they still have jobs?? It’s completely unfair. WWE has truly dropped the ball on her. She’s a true talent that was never given a real chance to shine on the main roster. It’s sad for me & Emmacrats alike because she really was something special.

On behalf of everyone here I would like to wish Emma nothing but the very best.

Matt Hardy Reportedly Paid Double His Usual Fee By TNA

Matt Hardy

 

Matt Hardy usually charges $1,500, plus hotel & transportation, plus another $300 for his wife Reby Sky for indie appearances. TNA reportedly paid him around double that for his appearance at the Impact taping in New York City this past week.

Matt is not signed to TNA or Ring of Honor, but he wants to continue working for both promotions, even though that might not be possible. It seems Matt is not looking to sign a contract to work as regular in any company. On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio he said that he has made enough money from WWE that he’s financially set for life, but working indies allows him to earn a decent income & stay involved in wrestling.
