Wrestling News & RumorsProfessional wrestling news and hot wrestling rumors can be found here. WWE, TNA, and ECW wrestling.
Please note that many threads may contain spoilers and may not always be labeled as such
This comes from the wrestling report in my newspaper by BlackJack Brown:
-Looks like Paul Birchill is injured and will be off TV for a few weeks. When he returns, the pirate gimmick will be dropped.
-Ric Flair has signed a 1 year contract to stay with the WWE.
-Randy Orton is still scheduled to return on the June 16th edition of SD!.
-Sounds like Rhyno could be on his way back to the WWE. Is run in TNA is clearly comming to an end, and he would be a nice addition to the ECW.
-Mark Henry is expected to win the title from Rey Mysterio at the Great American Bash, and be forced to defend it agaisnt the returning Batista.
-Paul Heyman is interested in bringing in Mordecai and Test as major heels in the new ECW. Test has not been seen for a long time, and would be a nice early opponent for RVD.
-To continue the Chris Benoit injury angle, his match with Dean Malenko has been cancelled.
I really don't think they should cut the Pirate gimmick, I really enjoyed watching him comming to and in the ring. Without a fun gimmick (which he has been playing very well) I think Birchill will go nowhere fast with the WWE, and it's a shame.
I'm surprised Flair has resigned with the company, and I really hope he survives this year of wrestling. IMO I think he should be named at GM.
Happy to hear the rumer about Rhyno, and I really hope it's true.
Mark Henry should never have a WWE title. Period. Even if Rey isn't close to being a great champion. It would be an insult to the World belt.
I think the idea of TesT going to ECW is a positive one, but I really cannot see Mordecai as a draw whatsoever.
Sounds like this guy just wrote down rumors he heard on the internet.
I don't like what they've been doing with Paul Burchill(this guy misspelled his name). The fans seem to like his pirate gimmick but WWE has him lossing to Mark Henry for some reason.
Mark Henry should never even be mentioned in the same sentence as the World Title. I pray the writers aren't stupid enough to have Rey lose the title to him. I don't want Rey to be the champion, but he shouldn't lose it to Henry.

I don't see Rhino going back even with his dismal push in TNA, WWE just treated him like crap, even if it was to go back to ECW. If I was him after Vince came out to the ring during one of my matches on a House Show and told me to leave the ring because I'm boring the crowd and to bring out bikini women who can't wrestle, I would be pissed. I hope he stays in TNA and I'll be honest, until I see this ECW, I would rather see TNA right now then ECW.

I'm sure if WWE offered him a contract he would sign it without hesitating. It would be more money and better working conditions, and he hasn't burned his bridges with WWE like The James Gang and Team 3D have.
