WWE Sues WrestleMania Sponsor

The sponsors of last year’s WrestleMania PPV, 360 OTC, have been sued by World Wrestling Entertainment for failing to pay sponsorship deal which amounts to $1,176,470.

The parent company of 360 OTC, IAHL Corporation, has since changed names, Air, Sea and Ground, Inc., and Rockford-Montgomery Labs, Inc., who are associated with the sponsorship deal have also been sued by WWE. 360 OTC were given the best placements during the road to WrestleMania with WWE advertising print, online, on television and billed the product as the 'official pain relief' for WrestleMania 23.

The company does admit that they owe payments to WWE, however WWE are claiming that they are reusing to pay them. WWE are demanding for a full payment including percentage of profits that 360 OTC did from the WWE deal, court costs as well as having to stop using WWE intellectual properties on their website to promote any products.

Raw Preview - Royal Redemption?

Thanks to his nemesis, Mr. McMahon, Triple H has a second chance at the Royal Rumble. But what is the Chairman up to and why would he give one of the men he hates most another chance at glory?

Mr. McMahon had The Game where he wanted him. Thanks to William Regal causing his disqualification loss to Ric Flair, The Game was out of the game. Triple H was out of the Royal Rumble Match and a potential opportunity at a World Championship match at WrestleMania XXIV – an honor the Chairman knows The King of Kings covets more than anything...More?

Ramblings From Behind the Curtain

So some are saying Triple H is popular in the ring but not too popular in the back. Yeah, it's true, but so what? He wins because the fans demand that he wins. If another guy could get as a strong a pop from the audience, then the status quo qould change. People need to stop blaming The Game for keeping others down. Maybe if some superstars spent half as much time fine-tuning their craft as they did whining about never getting a chance, then they might garner a decent reaction from a crowd once in awhile...More?
