Chavo Guerrero has been released by the WWE. He asked for his release.





Wrestlezone.com has reported that the WWE Creative Team is "in the dark" about CM Punk's future in WWE. Here is what a key WWE insider told them this morning.


There are some members of the team who want to pitch Punk beating Cena for the title, and then defending it against him at SummerSlam, which is deja vu when it comes to the Punk vs. Jeff Hardy situation when Jeff was leaving WWE.

There are other members of the team who are under the impression that Punk is leaving after the pay-per-view, and even more who think Punk will show up on Raw the next night in an angle to completely write him out of the script.

- The value of the McMahon family's WWE stock is currently $163 million. For a comparison against UFC, Lorenzo Fertitta's stock would be worth $506 million, Frank Fertitta's would be worth $506 million and Dana White's stock would be worth $113 million.



- WWE officials now realize that they have dropped the ball twice with Ted DiBiase Jr. and reuniting him with Cody Rhodes on SmackDown is supposed to be a way of reversing things. The idea now is to re-create the dynamic that Alex Riley and The Miz had, with Rhodes and DiBiase. The plan right now is for DiBiase to continue doing Rhodes' "dirty work" until Ted turns babyface and feuds with Cody.




- The Wrestling Observer reports that there has been talk of adding a new WWE TV show before RAW on the USA Network. The new show would be something like a countdown show similar to what the NFL does before games.




- As noted before, Snitsky was backstage at last Tuesday's WWE tapings in Hershey, PA. There were rumors of him making a return to the company soon.

Ted DiBiase is much better as a face.  He has that Southern charm and good looks.

A countdown show before Raw would be stupid.

Not really digging those Ryder shirts. But if I had to choose, I'd pick the 2nd one

Alberto Del Rio wins MITB.

Punk beats Cena for the title.

Alberto cashes in that night and beats Punk.

Sets up Alberto vs Cena for SummerSlam.

Exactly what I think WILL happen

Great, let's rehash an angle that just took place instead of coming up with something new/creative.

Seriously, does it even matter?  It's not like they do any type of long term booking.  Everything is written week to week.

News on Chavo Guerrero's Release

Chavo Guerrero was released today.  Guerrero, on twitter, said he was the one who asked for his release, citing being frustrated with how he was being used.

"I was just tired of not being used correctly.  Just cuz u can make other ppl look good, doesn't mean they should just have u lose to them.  The sme thing happened to Eddie. After being champ, they still had him working mid card status."

He said WWE has always used the Guerreros to make others look good and said he was not happy in WWE, and he had a smile on his face when the release came through last night.

"I will never go back to being under utilized and watching ppl who suck get bigger pushes than me."

He gave no indication of what his next move would be, other than he would stay in wrestling.  TNA would be the obvious destination.  Several years ago when there was talk he was not going to renew his contract, TNA had talked of bringing him in.  His uncle Hector Guerrero is a Spanish language announcer with TNA.

Yeah, no chance I would watch this.  It would probably be Matt Striker schilling for 30 minutes.

i get his point and understand, but at this stage in his career and the climate of the wwe the last half decade, what did he expect? if anything he should've tried to slide into a front office or agent position...i mean he can still perform but...

Agreed, Grizz.

It isn't like Chavo's in his prime and being mistreated like Punk is.

And even when Chavo was in his prime he was a mid-carder at best.

Wish this show would have been last night.  I would have definitely ordered.  I have things I have to do this afternoon, so I'm going to miss it.

- The latest word on John Morrison is that he will be out of action for at least another two months.




CM Punk drew attention to himself with the following Tweet yesterday:

It’s scary, doing something your whole life, and looking at a calendar to see you have just 23 more days of doing it.

I think you can just buy it once and watch it anytime at your leisure, forever.

At least, I'm hoping that's true. And $15 isn't that bad anyway for Daniel Bryan-esque wrestling and a actual tag team division.
