Santino Speaks On WWE Main-Eventers Not Sharing The Locker Room, Cena As Leader, & More

Former WWE United States champ Santino Marella was recently interviewed by the Two Man Power Trip podcast about his WWE experience. You can listen to the full podcast here. Here are some highlights:

Is John Cena the leader of the locker room?: “Well, he definitely was the locker room leader. But what happens is when guys like get their own bus they are not in the locker room anymore. He has his own bus, Randy has a bus, Big Show has got their buses and you literally don’t see them in the locker room because they have a different bus. But on European tours he’s still in the locker room, but that being said he was definitely the locker room leader or at least I saw him like that and the reason I saw him there was because of his work ethic and he is just a good guy, really good principles and morals and values. Just a standup guy and he works so damn hard. You could not be but awe inspired that this guy can just go and go and go and not complain or whine and he leads by example and that is what a real locker room leader is supposed to be.”

Do Superstars that have the private buses feel above being in the locker room?: “No, if anyone could afford it they would have one too. It’s an investment in your career. You are pro-longing your career because they have high quality mattresses and they sleep on the same one every night. They’ve got their fridge and their kitchen so they can make their smoothies and they can take care of their nutrition better than us because we actually have to search around for an IHOP and get some egg whites. If John Cena or Randy Orton are putting asses in seats in which I am benefiting from because I am on the same show well then I want my stars and my headliners and main events to be healthy because the more they put asses in seats, the more I get paid. That’s the opinion of the wrestlers in the locker room if you take care of the guy in the main event then he has some leeway because he’s feeding your family.”

Was playing “Santina” competing in a “Divas” match detrimental to his character: “I’m always up for a challenge and when you get a role like that some people would be concerned like “oh GOD” this is the end of his career because once you dress like a woman that’s it. I thought I was going to do a good job and knock this out of the park, do a good job and kind of reverse the joke. Well like if the joke was supposed to be on me well I did a good job it’s like I got praised for it. I know the girls were pissed. But I was given the job by the boss and you just do the best you can”.

Currently out of action, WWE NXT Superstar Colin Cassady has what appears to be a broken leg. Cassady worked Friday’s meet and greet in Tampa, FL which also featured Enzo Amore and WWE Tough Enough winner Sara Lee. It’s worth mentioning that Cassady was walking on crutches and did not wrestle.

At last week’s NXT TV taping, the storyline appeared to be an injury angle with Cass and The Mechanics for the 10/28 episode. Cassady’s knee brace was removed and they were working his leg over, leading correspondents in attendance to believe it was just an angle for the show.

WWE.com has released its Five-Point Preview for next Monday’s Raw and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is not among the legends advertised for the show. He will, however, sit down with Brock Lesnar for a special Stone Cold Podcast immediately following Raw (on the WWE Network).

The updated Raw preview reads:

Brock Lesnar’s Go to Hell Tour rolls through Dallas en route to Hell in a Cell this Monday night, and The Beast Incarnate isn’t coming alone. Also set to appear live on Raw in WrestleMania 32’s host city are WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels, as well as The Beast Incarnate’s Hell in a Cell opponent and bitter nemesis, The Undertaker.

After Raw, Lesnar will sit down with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin for a special Stone Cold Podcast, only on WWE Network. The Texas Rattlesnake undoubtedly has some hard-hitting questions planned for The Anomaly in what’s sure to be Austin’s most intense interview yet.

Join WWE.com as we preview the star-studded final Raw before Hell in a Cell.

As recently as Wednesday, WWE.com was advertising Austin as appearing live this Monday in Dallas, Texas.

As Brock Lesnar’s Go to Hell Tour winds its way toward Los Angeles, The Beast Incarnate’s infernal caravan will make a stopover on WWE’s flagship show, where a few Legends and Hall of Famers will join the ride.

Next week’s Raw, scheduled to emanate live from Dallas — the home city of WrestleMania 32 — will feature a live appearance by Lesnar, WWE Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Ric Flair, as well as Lesnar’s Hell in a Cell opponent, The Undertaker.

The page has since been deleted. However, he is still advertised as appearing on the event page, which has not been updated.

Austin said on Twitter that he was never scheduled for Raw — WWE did not advertise him for the star-studded show during the Oct. 12 broadcast.

After WWE.com advertised him for the event on Wednesday, Austin said he had no idea’s what going on.

Tom Phillips On His Job With WWE, Working With The Rock & More

WWE announcer Tom Phillips recently spoke with Penn State News about his career. Below are some of the highlights.

On working WWE commentary: “It may sound cliché, but I watch the WWE Network constantly. It could be matches from 1991, 1970 or as recently as 2010. I just like to listen to the ways commentary has changed through the years. On commentary, we try to really bring what’s happening to life. So you have to know the product, the superstars and history. It’s not always easy. At first it was like trying to learn Chinese and having no knowledge of how to speak Chinese. The difficult thing was finding my own voice, and it feels like I’m competing with myself every week to get better.”

On his goal coming out of Penn State in 2011: “I told myself I want to be the greatest broadcasting alumnus Penn State has ever had. That’s a really tall task, but I pursue that every single day. It’s beyond important for me to represent my school and my family.”

On working with The Rock in Philadelphia earlier this year, one of his career highlights: “In classic Rock fashion, he tore me to pieces. In my head I’m thinking about all those times he’d done that to someone else. I’m just trying to stay focused.”

On his job with WWE: “My job is to bring viewers information. My job is to make sure the show goes smoothly, point out what happened last week, mention what’s coming next. That’s my job. My job is just to be the professional.”

Hogan’s Beach Being Re-Branded & Re-Named

TampaBay.com is reporting that Hulk Hogan’s “Hogan’s Beach” establishment in Tampa, Florida will be re-branded and re-named, ending their affiliation with Hogan. They claimed that the restaurant is still open and serving customers under the Hogan name, however there is no solid timetable for the changes to happen.

Owner Ben Mallah, a real estate investor, said Hogan’s Beach and the Best Western-Bay Harbor-Tampa hotel it’s next to are being sold, however the sale is not officially done just yet. Even without the sale, Hogan’s Beach is going to be re-branded.

Mallah said the changes have nothing to do with the recent Hogan controversy. He also noted that Hogan licenses his name to the restaurant but has no ownership interest.

“We’ve had a two-and-a-half-year run with that brand,” said Mallah. “It’s time for a new brand. Everything changes.”

Road Warrior Animal Denied WWE Coaching Job

When trying to get work within the WWE, being one-half of one of the most identifiable and over acts in professional wrestling history still doesn’t seem to do someone like Road Warrior Animal any favors. Animal spoke to the hosts on the latest edition of the “Jobbing Out” podcast about trying to gain employment with the WWE as a WWE Performance Center coach.

“I’ve approached them,” Animal explained during the podcast, “Dusty (Rhodes) approached them on my behalf. For whatever reason, the office has their favorite guys. I understand that. One of the first deals I made when I signed with Vince McMahon was that when I was done that I wanted to coach. It’s water under the bridge, it ain’t going to happen. It’s never going to happen.”

Needing tag team wrestling coaches in particular, Animal singled out the WWE Performance Center first. According to Animal, there is a lot of favoritism in job placement and he believes that coaching the tag division is imperative.

“You have to have guys coaching who know tag team wrestling,” Animal explained. “You have to have the experience. The business has to get away from ‘this guy is my buddy, so he gets a job.'”

Road Warrior Animal will be at the Maryland Championship Wrestling this upcoming weekend.

Bubba The Love Sponge Sued For Manipulating Ratings

David Bixenspan

In and out of wrestling, radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem (born Todd Clem) is known for a lot of things. In wrestling, he was Hulk Hogan’s buddy who had a brief TNA run that ended after a weird backstage feud with Awesome Kong, who punched him after he made derogatory comments about Haitian earthquake victims. Hogan cut ties with him after videos of him having sex with Bubba’s then-wife got out. In radio, there was a whole lot more, but most recently, his lawyers in a defamation case filed by another radio personality were convicted of arranging for opposing counsel to be arrested on fraudulent drunk driving charges.

Now? Having admitted last week to ratings tampering (which he had implied on the air rival Todd “M.J.” Shmitt had done), he’s being sued. Nielsen Audio (formerly Arbitron), part of the same Nielsen that handles TV ratings, are arguing that, among other things, Bubba hurt their reputation and interfered in their contract with his station.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRX7qiiLY9c

The complaint outlines the situation as follows:

A mutual friend of Bubba and a listener who was added to the Nielsen sample arranged a deal to manipulate ratings in the Tampa area.  Bubba paid the guy $300 per month (with bonuses of up to $400 monthly if certain goals were met) to carefully manipulate the ratings, giving instructions to avoid detection while also not listening to key rivals. Since the listener’s home got four of Nielsen’s “Personal People Meter” listening devices, Bubba even went as far as buying the listener additional radios as gifts via his own Amazon account.

Bubba upped the pressure when his ratings went down, and the listener eventually went to Nielsen, telling them everything. “Everything” included that Bubba told him he had done the same thing with at least one other listener…who wasn’t careful and was caught by Nielsen, who verified that a listener fitting the description had been kicked out.

Jim Ross Blog: HOF Class Of 2016, WWE-SportsCenter, Jordan & Gable

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

WWE HOF Class Of 2016:

“Obviously, the Freebirds will be getting a great deal of support because it’s Dallas and their rivalry with the Von Erich’s there was the stuff of legend at one point in time. The key is to monitor how many inductees are being presented posthumously. That will always be an issue that WWE has to consider along with gender and ethnicity. I’d submit that Sting would be a great HOF candidate this coming year.”

SportsCenter Covering WWE:

“Smart move by WWE aligning with ESPN. Creates awareness to a new, sports centric audience and may entice displaced fans, and there are plenty of those out there, back to the brand.”

Jason Jordan & Chad Gable

“Really liking the up-side of NXT’s Jason Jordan and Chad Gable either as a team or positioned as individuals. Seems to me that Jordan, former Indiana Hoosier heavyweight, has been ready for a good while. Nonetheless all talents ar better suited to stay in NXT until WWE creative has a grand way to introduce them. In today’s marketplace one’s introduction and their first 6 months of their call up are essential.”

Steve Corino Talks Samoa Joe & Kevin Owens In WWE, Cesaro’s Ability & More

Longtime wrestling veteran and current ROH color commentator Steve Corino recently appeared as a guest on Jim Ross’ “Ross Report” podcast. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On Cesaro: “I believe he [has] got all the tools! The guy speaks a few different languages. He’s a monster in the ring. He’s likable, so if you need him to be a babyface, he’s very likable, but he can be smug in the ring, so he can be a heel. When I watched Mr. McMahon on Stone Cold’s podcast on the [WWE] Network, and when he said that Cesaro isn’t connecting with the fans, I’m like, ‘are you serious?’ Like, I attended WrestleMania 30. That guy was in the top five of the most popular people that night!”

On Kevin Owens’ success in WWE: “He’s like a little brother to me! I’ve known him for 10 years and we had so many great times in Ring of Honor. I still talk to him every week and he’s just a great guy, a great guy, and he makes me so proud just because he goes in there and he has just destroyed stereotypes of what a pro wrestler should be and that’s his niche. Just like when you brought Mick [Foley] into the WWF in ’96, he broke the mold of what normal fans thought a WWE, WWF at the time, wrestler was supposed to be.”

“Kevin, I think, was one of those guys that no one expected him to explode this quick, where Joe has been a guy on TNA for 12 years. You know Samoa Joe, but, like, how is he going to be in the big time? I think he’s going to do great, but it’s that power of the pencil. Are the writers going to get behind him?”

On Samnoa Joe finally joining WWE: “I have shared my feelings about Samoa Joe with everybody there and I really believe that he’s a company man, he’s solid, I think he’s going to be an asset to the locker room, I think he has the skill set to work with anybody of any skill set whether he be a fan favorite or a villain, so I think Joe’s going to do real well there.”

The cover art for WWE’s upcoming Owen Hart DVD/Blu-ray is getting a significant upgrade, according to WrestlingDVDNetwork.com. While the original cover featured mostly text and graphics with only small black and white photos of Owen, WWE was able to secure the rights for an image fit for the King of Harts.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart was interviewed for the project and said Owen Hart’s widow Martha prevented WWE from using a lot of footage and photos that would have made it a decent project. Bret called it “the shits” during an interview with The LAW last month:

“They couldn’t use any pictures from his childhood, they couldn’t use anything from Stampede Wrestling. They had so many restraints. Even the interviews, the questions that they did with me were so bullshit. The whole thing was so bullshit that sure, there’s an Owen Hart DVD, but it’s the shits. […]

I think WWE maybe had good intentions, but I’m not very impressed with the quality that it’s going to be. I haven’t seen it, I’m not optimistic but I’m hoping that it’ll be better than I think.”

“Owen: Hart of Gold” is set to be released on December 8th. Pre-Order now from Amazon.com.

“Personally, I consider [Finn Balor] to be the best wrestler in the world.

I’m so happy for him and being the NXT Champ and where he’s going to go is just to the moon and back.

Being able to be in such close proximity to see everything that he’s about to do and everything that he [has] already done because the Bullet Club was all his invention, and that’s so cool. So what he’s going to do here [in WWE] is going to be phenomenal.”
