Some of Todays Wrestling News and Rumours (Possible spoilers) ***NO CHAT***

It's funny, Vince is all about sports entertainment;
He tried sports with the xfl and it failed.
Now trying entertainment through movies and with the exception of 12 rounds, each one has bombed critically and financially.

Makes you wonder why he's even bothering!

Roger Moore of the Chicago Tribune posted a scathing review of "The Chaperone," and the following is an excerpt: "Levesque isn't over-the-top enough to make his big-guy-disciplines-unruly-kids gags work. And without laughs, we're left to consider how inane the script is and how it wastes the few actors hired to bring their comedy chops.

That review is going to leave Triple H shaken, but not stirred.

- While this isn't confirmed at all, there's a rumor that WWE Velocity will be returning on Wednesday nights at 8pm EST, beginning May 11th on MyNetworkTV. Take it for what it's worth for now.

If that happens, we're looking at:

Sunday - PPV
Monday - Raw and Tough Enough (both USA Network)
Tuesday - NXT (wwe.com)
Wednesday - Velocity (MyNet TV)
Thursday - Superstars (WGN America)
Friday - SmackDown (SyFy)


-- Preliminary pay-per-view purchase estimates for the 2011 Royal Rumble is 449,000 buys, slightly down from last year (462,000). The figure is in line with 2009, which drew 450,000 buys.


-- Rey Mysterio posted on Twitter:

"The rumor is I might B retiring soon! NOT TRUE, got many years left of entertaining my FANS!U guys keep me going! Luv it! Los quieroUnChingo"

Triple H told the New York Post that Vince and Linda McMahon are great grandparents. "Both McMahons love the grandchildren," Hunter said. "Come around all the time. Take them to school. Their house even has sleepovers. I did appearances and campaign rallies for my mother-in-law. She's great and staying politically involved. (Joe) Lieberman's not running again so she can try once more in 2012."

Hunter also spoke about his move to acting. "I'm also a WWE executive," Hunter said. "I'm a wrestling fan. As a boy I watched it on TV with my father. At 20, I met a guy and the rest is history. Right away you get a flashy trick name so you're a superhero come to life. Nobody pays $20 to see his next-door neighbor.*

"Wrestling's made me rich. Very. But everyone's surprised that a wrestler can be not only talented but also articulate. Listen, we're theater actors. Bad guy versus good guy. It's a show. We're onstage telling a story through our actions." To read the full story, visit NYPost.com.

Powell's POV: For what it's worth, Vince's past and present employees have said that he's a different person when the grandchildren are around. It's always fun to hear stories about the fun-loving, "other side" of Vince. As for Hunter, I just hope that people want to pay $20 to see someone other than him and Undertaker after that promo he cut on Monday night.

Former WWE tag team champion Shad Gaspard was arrested yesterday in Columbus, OH after what his wife claims was a jaywalking incident that turned into a case of racial profiling.

Shad's wife Siliana tells TMZ her husband did not resist when a cop tried to bust him for jaywalking as he made his way to the Arnold Fitness EXPO. She says Shad got into a kneeling position to show he was not resisting ... but the cops shoved his face into the dirt anyway.

Siliana tells us, "They are profiling him. He's being treated like a n****r."

Former UFC champ Josh Barnett, who was with Gaspard at the time, seemed to back up Shad's version of events on his Twitter page, posting last night, "Shad Gaspard arrested because a Columbus officer abuses his authority. False jaywalking charge + attitude turns to handcuffs and tackling."

According to law enforcement, Gaspard -- who as part of the tag team Cryme Tyme once held the tag team title -- was arrested for resisting arrest and obstructing official business.

Calls to the Columbus PD were not returned.

Rumours through the grape vine says that...

WWE offered "The Last Outlaw" Ron Prince over $25,000 for the moniker. He instead asked for a Developmental contract. WWE signed Prince to a contract under the agreement that if he signed, they would get the rights to his name. They then fired him 3 months later (I believe he had one FCW match)...and are now marketing it to Taker.

What d'ya reckon? Pretty dastardly or just business?

If they didn't want to sign him in the first place he was never going to last long was he? Should have taken the 25k. Just business.

What a legend!
He should have asked for a fully fledged contract for at least a year.

I'd have taken the 25k for sure. Don't mind it used as a promo but not as Taker's entrance! It's just wrong!

A new NWA Champion was crowned last night. While it may not hold the same value it once did, I am thrilled to see this man get such a belt....

TNA wrestler Magnus (aka Nick Aldis) recently spoke to Bob Bamber of The Own Goal blog about working with WWE stars Wade Barrett, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre.
Speaking of Sheamus, Magnus said "Sheamus, from the first time I met him and saw the way he packaged himself and promoted himself, he gets it."
When talking about Wade Barrett (aka Stu Bennett), Magnus said "The thing that I always said is that Stu had was he a real presence, like he has that kind of walk into the room and big booming voice and a real presence about him. When they see that, they'll capitalize on it."
Magnus also discussed his relationship with Brother Ray. "He's been very good to me and has been one of the most positive influences on my career so far."
