Fomer DX member accuses former mistress of harassing him

September 14, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Reports indicate that Billy Gunn (real name Monty Sopp) filed a complaint to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office regarding Deborah Simmons. Gunn, 46, claims Simmons, his 24 year-old former mistress, harassed him on a daily basis after his wife found out about their relationship.

WFX promoter Mike Davidson told the Winnipeg Sun that Gunn was manipulated by Simmons. “This isn’t Tiger Woods or Mel Gibson,” Davidson said. (Sopp’s) wife (Paula) is staying with him because she knows he was manipulated through this entire ordeal. I stand by him 100 percent. It’s a sad story but the biggest victim isn’t Deborah or Kip or WFX, it’s Paula.”

WWE talking about Unifying all Titles

September 14, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

WWE has been discussing the idea of unifying all titles, ending with the World and WWE Title unification match at WrestleMania 27.

One WWE source says that just because it’s being discussed doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. Apparently unifying the belts is brought up in meetings every year or so. It’s said that higher-ups in the company are against the idea of unifying the titles, even though it’s being discussed.

The current talks of unification are called a “what if” discussion based on the success or failure of SmackDown on SyFy. The feeling is that if SmackDown doesn’t too bad in moving to SyFy, then they definitely won’t be unifying all the belts.

The Divas and Women’s Titles are being unified at Night of Champions because of the feeling that the Divas division lacks enough talent to have a title on each brand.

John Cena’s New Movie Receiving Bad Reviews from Top Critics

September 14, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Reviews are starting to come out for WWE’s new Legendary movie starring John Cena and things aren’t looking good. Currently on the Rotten Tomatoes website, the movie has a 17% rating with 4 “Fresh” reviews and 19 “Rotten” reviews. Below are some quotes on the movie from top critics:

* Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times: “It’s a feel-good Kleenex™ dispenser of a movie, and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it’s routine Hallmark Hall of Afterschool Special material.”

* Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: “Legendary is so intent on paying heartfelt tribute to dogged young athletes that it neglects basic story needs.”

* Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly: “A well-meaning dud that’ll put you out faster than a sleeper hold.”

* Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: “The script, by actor turned writer John Posey, has structural problems and motivational issues in between the cliches. And Cena, a few movies into his career, is still all presence and no acting.”

* Rex Reed, New York Observer: “Talk about movies that cannot possibly live up to their titles.”

WWE developmental Diva Aloisia talks about her WWE status

September 14, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

WWE developmental Diva Aloisia, who was pulled from this season of NXT on SyFy, issued an open letter today to fans on her website regarding her status with WWE. Here’s part of what she wrote:

“When I first received my offer from WWE, they asked me to fill out a “Talent Information Form” providing them with information about myself and my background. One of the questions was, “Have you ever posed nude?”. I answered “No” to this question, because that’s the truth. If they had asked me if I ever posed suggestively, I would of course have answered “Yes”, but there’s a big difference between suggestive and nude. As to the question of whether this was why they took me off the show, that’s something you’d have to ask them. Perhaps it was a factor in their decision, but I honestly don’t know their entire thought process, as they’ve communicated very little to me about this. From what I’ve been reading on various blogs, it seems that they may have had a political motivation to get me off the show, but again, you’d have to ask them.”
