James Storm Comments On Chris Harris Not Making It In WWE

"I believe Chris brought it onto himself. I talked to him while he was there. Anytime you go up there, they're going to test you, to see if you have an attitude or whatever. And I just heard he failed miserably. He had an attitude while he was up there and you can't do that. You just go up there and you do what they ask of you the best you can, and sooner or later, they'll find a spot for you and do something with you. Just because he had a good run here, he expected to go up there and have a run, and that's not so."

Marc Mero Talks About Working With Triple H

Triple H was and is a talented wrestler, he was like a student of the game, you know. I really enjoyed working with him. We wrestled each other hundreds of times, because obviously we would tour for quite a while on the road and we would wrestle each other every night, and not only that, we wrestled in WCW several times. I believe his first belt he ever won was when he beat me for the Intercontinental title. You’ve seen what he has done in his career and the amazing heights he has risen to…but he was really good to work with, very similar to “Stone Cold” in their work ethic…they can make guys that weren’t as talented, I wasn’t as talented as a Triple H or a Stone Cold, and they made our matches look fantastic…my hat is off to that guy…”

USA Network Tops Again And Thanks WWE

CableFax.com had a story this week about how the USA Network will be the top ranked cable network during Prime Time (Total Viewers). They pointed out WWE's involvement with Raw bringing in about 4 millions viewers every Monday Night for 3 hours.

"Obviously Raw's numbers are in USA's numbers. If Raw comes off USA, they drop down to 4 or 5," WWE chief strategy officer and CFO George Barrios predicted during a presentation at a UBS investor conference last week.

Being the #1 network, USA can charge much more for their adverts and WWE are well aware of that while they are negotiating a new TV deal in the first quarter of next year, with the announcement as to who will have Monday Night Raw & other WWE Programming coming in March.

Professional wrestling dinner theater looking for place in Kissimmee

Central Florida is home to theme parks, beaches, and all kinds of shows, but there’s an effort to combine food with professional wrestling.

Professional wrestler Bryan Smith owns the Manor Professional Wrestling Dinner Theater.

“It’s theater and I know people will say professional wrestling, that’s a sport. Yes, it is, but Manor is putting sports and theater together,” Smith said.

Smith is putting on shows at Osceola Heritage Park, but there’s a new twist.

They’ll be serving dinner during the show.

“Roasted chicken, potatoes, vegetables. And then we have a kids' menu as well,” said Smith. “Our characters are from all over, just like we expect our tourists, our local fans. We have people from all walks of life.”

They had a sold out show for a recent Friday night.

Now, they have six shows scheduled for 2014.

Smith said Central Florida is the perfect place for them to grow.

“Kissimmee, Florida, is growing. If you look at, there are a lot of dinner shows in Kissimmee. We don’t want to compete with them, but we want to have a unique brand,” Smith said.

Now he’s working with city leaders in hopes of finding a permanent building for his company.
