- There is an auction on eBay where the winner will accompany former WWE Diva Maryse to the ring at Saturday's Pro Wrestling Superstars Show at the Westin Los Angeles Airport in Los Angeles, California.

The auction description reads: "The lovely Maryse needs somebody to walk her to ringside, and we don’t have ANYBODY manly enough for the job. This is your chance to walk arm in arm with this supermodel and former WWE Diva. Don’t get any crazy ideas that she’ll be going anywhere but to the ring with you, we heard her boyfriend is pretty tough and lives locally."

I reckon if we all whip round, we could win this :P

Just imagine, Maryse escorted by a harem of boardsies

Did she break up with Miz?

I can only imagine the level of geek that will win that auction

THQ have put up a survey asking for feedback on WWE '12's RTWM mode. I've not played but I know some people had strong views on it, so now is your chance to be heard...

Nah her stalker must be keeping a eye on the auction. Who'd want to be a manager for her anyway?

Stephanie McMahon Levesque was recently interviewed by bodybuilding website RXMuscle.com. McMahon spoke about losing weight and getting back into shape after giving birth to her kids. Here are some highlights of what Stephanie said about:

The Biggest Obstacle She’s Overcome: “From a body standpoint? Losing the baby fat-weight after having each of my children. I think normal weight gain is 35 lbs, I saw fit to double that. I’m the type of person that always has to eat right to be lean, so when I was pregnant the gloves were off and I ate like a champ! We’re talking a minimum of 4 pop tarts every morning with eggs and a glass of milk as a staple.”

Favorite Quote: This isn’t necessarily my favorite quote, it’s just the one that is coming to mind, “Learn to eat **** and like the taste” a life lesson by my dad, Vince McMahon.

Vince’s Love Of Physical Fitness: “It’s hard to say what life was like growing up as “Vince McMahon’s daughter”. I would watch my dad on Saturday mornings do interviews and I’d watch him commentate with Jesse Ventura on Saturday Night’s Main Events. It was just what my dad did; I didn’t look at it as anything unusual. It wasn’t until I was a little older and the other kids tried to make fun of me that I realized my situation was a little different (I actually kicked a kid in the shins for saying wrestling was fake!). My Dad was always big into working out; he’s the one who got me turned on to the gym. He was so intense and trained so hard, it looked like fun!”

How She Met Triple H: “We were married on TV as a fictional couple and life just imitated art…It wasn’t love at first site, but I bet you could call it chemistry at first site. I have never been more attracted to anyone in my entire life! He would just look at me and I would blush; still happens to this day actually.”

Whether She’ll Wrestle Again: “Anything can happen in the WWE!”
Stephanie noted that she legally had her middle name changed to McMahon (making her full name Stephanie McMahon Leveque) and she does not see her and Triple H having anymore kids.

Going on from last night's RAW, where it was revealed Zack Ryder broke his back, why is he being written off TV ?

Ted DiBiase via Twitter:

"To answer a lot of questions about me being injured, Its true. Broken wrist, torn cartilage. Wanted to know for sure b4 I announced anything."

I think it's just storyline progression with Cena/Kane. It's so Cena can see the actual damage of him not "embracing the hate" and Kane getting what he wants out of Cena (ie a heel turn ha ha). Hey i didn't say it was good, but that's how i took it

Same radio show that Orton called Kelly Kelly out for having half the locker room.

PPV changes from the Observer:

The 6/17 show that at one point was Bragging Rights (the Raw vs. Smackdown themed show that was dropped) is now Fatal Four-Way, another concept that failed in previous incarnations. What had been planned as the Money in the Bank show on 7/15 in Las Vegas, is now the TLC show. This may mean Money in the Bank goes back to Mania since as of this moment it's off the schedule. The 11/18 Survivor Series is now set for Phoenix. The 12/16 PPV that had been TLC, is now Bragging Rights, and set for Memphis.

the groutch · 26-01-2012 11:08am

we already have Elimination Chamber, so no need for Fatal 4 Way

I still think they should have never took the MITB match off of the mania card. It suits it so well as a early crowd hyper kind of match and doesn't need its own PPV. Plus it was sort of tradition.

Fingers crossed its back for mania this year!

I miss the old days where Royal Rumble and Survivor Series were the only gimmicked PPV's. The feuds followed a natural order instead of being forced in to a particular match depending on what time of year it is.

Hulk Hogan has a bone to pick with Kasabian after he rumbled the band checking into hotels under his name. He found out from hotel bosses the Leicester rockers have used grapple pseudonyms on tour to stop fans finding them. And now he's planning to body slam Tom Meighan the next time he shows up ringside.

Agreed. One of the massive over-arching problems with storylines these days. No matter where a feud is -- first meeting, rematch, or rubber match, it's time for a hell in a cell. There's no suspense because that's the bloody name of the next PPV. Oh, TLC? So there'll be a tables match, and bah-god, a CHAIR match! How interesting!

I miss storylines having a sensical beginning, middle and end. Not ham-fisted gimmick matches because it's a particular month. I guess Elimination Chamber does do better than other B-PPVs...but in general B-PPVs do horrible. No-one's buying TLC this year because of TLC last year, they aren't 'brand' PPVs. They're self-contained buildups that lean on starpower and feuds; not simply gimmicks. Sigh!

WWE have nobody but themselves to blame.

Dang it, not Fatal 4 Way again. Bring back the King of the Ring to PPV, Championship Scramble or preferably the tag variant of the Six Pack Challenge.

Needing to tag your opponents in to get your breath back while risking losing the pin/submit opportunity is something stronger to build the match around. As much as I like fatal four way matches in general, they aren't big enough to be an event in and of themselves.

I dont really have any problem with Elimination Chamber, the match type makes it awkward to find a suitable storyline where it could be booked into anyways, making it an obstacle to get past for main eventing mania is fine imo.

Hell in a Cell is completely crippled with this setup
...I don't think table or ladder matches really are that much though, in fact, I'd rather keep table matches and their cheap flukey wins away from most storylines.

Tommy Dreamer apparently saved CM Punks job twice..

Former WWE wrestler and office worker Tommy Dreamer told Radar Online that he saved C.M. Punk's job with the company twice. "He had little-to-no chance of ever making it in the WWE -- he wasn't their type of guy," Dreamer told Radar Online. "I saved his job two times when he was about to be let go -- I was saying, ‘Ya gotta keep this kid, ya gotta keep this kid.'" You can read more at RadarOnline.com.
