Rumor Mill - Randy Orton's Accident
Many fans are speculating that the "Orton Accident" is a work and have written into wrestlezone.com with their opinions, which can be read here and here. My problem with this story is the distance Orton claims to have been thrown. I have been riding motorcycles for 15+ years and I don't see how he could have been thrown/rolled/bounced 300 feet when he was only going 30 mph. In addition, if you are trying to come back from an injury, why would you ride a motorcycle that you don't have much experience with? I guess anything is possible...

The mask is out of the WWE bag
After weeks of speculation, Kane finally revealed what was in his bag. New WWE RAW General Manager Mike Adamle ordered Kane to hand over the bag. Kane said the bag contained the mask of a man who has been tortured and disfigured beyond recognition. Who is that formally masked man?

This "unveiling" was a disappointment. I hope this isn't leading up to a Kane/Mysterio feud. I'm not a big Mysterio fan and I think they could use Kane better. Maybe putting him back with the Undertaker as The Brothers of Destruction or a feud with one of the younger guys.

John Cena getting the star treatment in NYC
WWE champ John Cena was treated like a rock star the other night at Wildwood Barbeque on Park Avenue South. When the enormous wrestler walked in, he was "mobbed" by fans pleading for autographs, body slams and kisses. "When he was sitting at his table, a group of thirty-something hot women begged him for a photo," said our spy. "One wanted a sip of his beer, he said no, but sent over a round of Coors Light to the ladies and then lifted his shirt up and showed them his abs. They were screaming, and by the end of the night, he was sending beer to every table in the house. It was a madhouse. It was like Will Smith walked in."
