3) WWE Giving Superstars More Time Off
According to a report from WrestlingNews.co, WWE will be giving their Superstars more time off over the next few months.
Here is what the site reports:
WWE Superstars will be getting more time at home as the company has decided to cut back on the number of live events they run each month.
Previously, the wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown were wrestling at least 4 shows per week. SmackDown would run shows on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and wrestlers on Raw would wrestle on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. According to the upcoming live event schedule, wrestlers will not be working anywhere near those amount of dates.
In February, Raw wrestlers will work at a maximum of 10 shows and the same number applies to SmackDown wrestlers. WWE will be running combined Raw/SmackDown SuperShows on some weekends, which means that some wrestlers will not be flown in so most (if not all) wrestlers will be working fewer than 10 shows next month.
In March, Raw wrestlers will work a maximum of 14 dates and that same number applies for the SmackDown wrestlers. Again, WWE has combined SuperShows scheduled for some cities so that means that most wrestlers (if not all) will be working less than 14 dates.
My Take:
- This is definitely a good thing and will hopefully reduce injuries. Plus, it is always good to hear that Superstars will get to spend more time with their loved ones.
2) Top Free Agent Denies Meeting Triple H
There was a rumor a few weeks ago that suggested Killer Kross had met with Triple H to discuss him coming to WWE.
While speaking to The Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling, Kross denied ever meeting Triple H:
“I have to address this. You had mentioned Hunter or “Triple H”. I’ve never met him. I don’t know where the story came up exactly first in the dirt sheets and I don’t really pay that much attention to them, but I’ve never met him. I think it’s cool and kind of flattering that those stories circulate but I’d like to meet him. If someone could make that happen that would be great.”
“I know it’s not meant to be malicious or whatnot and it’s fun to fantasize about that stuff but unfortunately that hasn’t happened yet.”
My Take:
- After what happened with Edge, it is hard to trust what a wrestler says. I still think that Kross is WWE-bound but we will have to wait and see.
