WWE issued the following today …

WWE (NYSE:WWE) and ATRESMEDIA announced today that they have extended their television distribution agreement and promotional partnership for two more years through 2016.

Since originally partnering in 2013, the ratings for WWE’s flagship program, Monday Night Raw® and SmackDown® have more than doubled over the past year, which has led to the agreement being extended for another two years on ATRESMEDIA’s channel NEOX.

Additionally, tonight’s WWE live event at the Palacio Vistalegre Arena in Madrid is sold out, making it WWE’s best-selling event in Madrid since 2006.

“We are very excited to continue our partnership with WWE, something we started a year ago with a clear plan to build the brand consistently for the future in Spain. The results are already here and we think that WWE together with ATRESMEDIA is a perfect match both for the audience and for the brand strength,” said Jose Antonio Antón, Director of Programming and Complementary Channels, ATRESMEDIA.

“WWE is thrilled to extend our partnership with ATRESMEDIA in Spain for another two years,” said Gerrit Meier, Executive Vice President, International, WWE. “This agreement is a great example of the integrated approach we take with our partners around the world to promote both our television programming and live events to ensure significant growth of our brand.”

    • In-Depth Update On The Terms Of Alberto Del Rio & WWE’s Joint-Settlement

    As noted recently, Alberto Del Rio and WWE reached a joint-settlement regarding his non-compete clause with the company. The settlement was officially announced by both Del Rio and WWE.

    The belief is both sides agreed that Del Rio would no longer make negative comments about the company in public, most notably racism claims against top WWE officials and talking about racist jokes that go on behind-the-scenes. In return, Del Rio received a financial settlement that included his non-compete being dropped, as long as he doesn’t use the Del Rio name.

    WWE has apparently been worried for a while about keeping their Hispanic audience and growing it, so they were said to be very conscious about being tied to any sort of racism against Hispanics.

    According to a source close to the situation, the settlement between Del Rio and WWE was said to be a last-minute thing. There was reportedly a joint settlement at one point that was expected to include a stipulation that would see WWE issuing an apology for inappropriate comments. WWE had reportedly agreed to that but it was later taken out of the deal in their written settlement agreement. Apparently Del Rio had already agreed to the financial settlement and the non-compete being dropped, so he didn’t press the apology stipulation.

    Additionally, it’s believed that the settlement included an agreement that states Del Rio would not sue the company.

    Regarding Rey Mysterio’s backstage meeting with Vince McMahon and Triple H at the WWE RAW taping in Buffalo, New York a few weeks ago, it’s said that nothing definitive came out of it other than Vince wanting to get Mysterio back in a WWE ring.

    While many assume Triple H is running things within WWE these days, it was said to be pretty clear that the Mysterio meeting was a Vince meeting and it was Vince running the show in that regard.

    There is a belief within WWE that a compromise will be made soon that will see Mysterio make a return, working regularly between now and WrestleMania 31. His current contract is set to expire in late-April.

    WWE officials have reportedly asked Mysterio to work more dates than most think he should.

    It was confirmed this past weekend that the doors will open for WrestleMania 31 at Levi’s Stadium at 1:30pm local time on the day of the show. This means that activity will begin around 2pm local time, which also means we can expect a few matches on the pre-show.

    With a four-hour pay-per-view, two-hour pre-show and a potential one-hour post-show on the WWE Network, WrestleMania is looking to be another seven-hour block of programming next year. Without the WWE Network, it will be a regular four-hour pay-per-view broadcast.

    WWE.com recently caught up with former Diva Beth Phoenix,  who is married to WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland. Now a mother after giving birth to a baby girl last December, she spoke about what she’s been up to since leaving WWE, her favorite moments in WWE and more. Here are some highlights of what she said about:

    What She’s Been Up To Since Leaving WWE:

    “Oh, my gosh! Life has been nuts in the last two years. I’ve been doing a lot of shuffling and moving around, and the biggest thing that’s happened is that I became a mother!

    I got pregnant five or six months after I retired, and then it was off to the races! It was a complete change of gears, and I was refocusing my life on my family. That was the reason I left WWE — not to have a baby, but to spend time with family. That was just a wonderful side result of spending time at home and being with my family. That was awesome, and it’s been a big change.”

    Being in the 2010 Royal Rumble:

    “I think the biggest thing for me was that it was one of those moments where I was like, “Okay, this is why I got into wrestling.” I wanted to be a female like Chyna, who broke boundaries and did things that were really special. And you know, just somebody that stood out. This was my moment. Like that Glam Slam, it was one of those moments in your life that you just treasure, and I knew it was going to be over fast. I needed to take a few breaths while I was out there and just inhale it. Because I knew it was something that would change my life and really satisfy some of those dreams that I had as a little girl.”

    – Due to the fact that The Rock’s new “Central Intelligence” film with Kevin Hart begins filming in the spring, depending on the exact start day, it could rule out him doing WrestleMania 31, which takes place on March 29th.

    – Bloomberg magazine ran a feature on Linda McMahon, naming her one of the biggest low-profile political donors, noting that she has given $3 million to candidates thus far in 2014. The majority of the donations have gone to the Republican Governors Association.

    Regarding Hulk Hogan working a match at WrestleMania 31, it will largely depend on whether or not he can pass the strict WWE physical examination. The same applies for anyone over the age of about 45 that is under consideration for being brought back to work WrestleMania, or any other shows, including Sting.

    Hogan has been pushing for another match not just in media interviews, but behind the scenes as well.  He’s made no secret that he wants one last match against John Cena. Most are skeptical that he’ll get medically cleared, but he’s apparently gearing up for a match and is trying to make it happen.

    John Cena Talks About A Possible Match Against Hulk Hogan

    Since the health scare with Jerry Lawler a little while back, WWE has instituted strict physicals for older talents before they’ll allow them to do anything physical, which is why Hogan hasn’t even been throwing punches or anything along those lines on WWE television.

    On the other end of the match, which is a traditional ten-man elimination style match with the big Authority stipulation, is Seth Rollins, Kane, Mark Henry, Rusev and Luke Harper.

    Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt and Nikki Bella vs. AJ Lee for the WWE Divas Championship are the only other two matches official for the show thus far.

    As noted, Adam Rose vs. The Bunny in a Kickoff Show match and a WWE Tag-Team Championship four-way with Goldust & Stardust vs. The Usos vs. Los Matadores vs. The Miz and Damien Mizdow is also expected.

    The following are highlights of a new v2 Wrestling Podcast interview with Hernandez:

    On Chavo Guerrero using Eddie Guerrero’s mannerisms to get himself over: “TNA wanted him to do that. You know damn well when he was in WWE he wasn’t doing that crap. Why else would he do it? The guy’s been wrestling twenty years, he’s not retarded. He’s an excellent wrestler. Why would you want to be a novelty act? They didn’t even give us a team name because they wanted to sell Guerrero t-shirts.”

    On his departure from TNA: “The only way I know that I’m not on the show no more is I don’t get a cheque no more. The last time I got a call from TNA was the end of November 2013; my contract ended May 12th (2014), which is awkward because I thought it was the 14th of May. I wake up on the 12th, and it was all over social media, Impact wrestling unfollowed me on Twitter… I text Mrs Carter the day after my contract expired saying “thanks for the eight years”; I’m still waiting for a response. It is the most bush league thing I’ve ever heard of.”

    On the main problem with TNA: “As long as the Carters have billions of dollars, that company will never go away. I just think the infrastructure just needs, you know, how you snake a toilet? They have Jeff Hardy, you had Sting, Kurt Angle, the best up and coming talent (like) Austin Aries, Roode, Styles, all these guys that could do anything, and you let every former WWE employee that served coffee to Vince McMahon try to be the boss time after time after time.”

    On LAX: “The reason why you saw LAX being so good and so strong on TV was because Konnan literally had to threaten to quit and take his bag and roll into the parking lot every time they came up with some corny ass idea for LAX.”

    On whether he would return to TNA: “Of course not. You wrestle somewhere eight years, you do every stupid semi-racist vignette. I know how a Mexican looks, acts and talks. I don’t need a fifty year old white man telling me I’m not being Mexican enough. At the beginning of Mexican America I was doing all the talking, but because I wasn’t saying essa and orale I magically became the non-speaker. I told them I wouldn’t talk like that because I live in Houston and I’m not gonna get my ass kicked because I’m making fun of my own people.”

    Hernandez also revealed that he has signed on to wrestle for Lucha Underground.

    Edge Interview: Why He Doesn’t Watch WWE Network, Christian Retiring & More

    WWE Hall of Famer Edge recently spoke to AlternativeNation.net about a number of topics, including the Attitude Era, a John Cena heel turn, the WWE Network not working for him and much more. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

    The WWE Network and Sami Zayn: “They finally gave me the WWE Network. Once they asked me to do a show on it, they said, ‘Do you want it by the way?’ I said, ‘Yeah sure, why not?’ But for whatever reason, it doesn’t seem to want to work up here in Canada. Every time I try to watch something it just freezes, so I haven’t really watched a whole lot of stuff. Before it was on the Network, it was on Sports Central up here, and if I was home from set, I would try to watch it Thursday nights. Then it got taken off Sports Central, I got the Network, and the Network didn’t work, so it’s kind of been out of my hands, I haven’t been able to watch it. But I know Sami Zayn, I’ve known him for a couple of years now, but I’ve always enjoyed what he’s done, when he was El Generico too.”

    Christian Possibly Retiring: “Well he’s my best friend, so I know what’s going on with him more than anybody else. But he’s at that kind of point where you sit back and look and go, okay I’m definitely closer to the end of my career than the beginning. After awhile your body just starts telling you, this is a difficult job to do. When you’re in your 20’s and you think you’re indestructible, you can bounce back, but it gets harder when you start climbing into your 40’s.”

    The Attitude Era: “I do think what’s been good, people are always talking about the Attitude Era, and all of this and all of that, but if you watch back, sometimes the matches weren’t that great because we had 2 minutes. It’s not possible to have a good wrestling match in 2 minutes, you can’t tell a story, you can tell a haiku. Since the PG era, I know when I was in matches, I had half an hour sometimes, 20 minutes, there I can tell a story. To me that’s the meat and potatoes of the whole thing, it all boils down to the wrestling at the end of the day. The Attitude Era was a lot about the hijinks backstage, and the matches kind of got forgotten about. It’s looked at with rose colored glasses because the ratings were good, and it was working for obvious reasons, but to me those obvious reasons were characters like Stone Cold, who would then get in and have a long match at a PPV. Characters like The Rock who would be entertaining, but still at the end of the day, they could go. I think now, you need a little bit of both.

    Why He Doesn’t Watch The WWE Network: “I haven’t watched a whole lot. They finally gave me the WWE Network. Once they asked me to do a show on it, they said, ‘Do you want it by the way?’ I said, ‘Yeah sure, why not?’ But for whatever reason, it doesn’t seem to want to work up here in Canada. Every time I try to watch something it just freezes, so I haven’t really watched a whole lot of stuff. Before it was on the Network, it was on Sports Central up here, and if I was home from set, I would try to watch it Thursday nights. Then it got taken off Sports Central, I got the Network, and the Network didn’t work, so it’s kind of been out of my hands, I haven’t been able to watch it.”
