There are certain times where you can watch a quarter hour and minute-by-minute and see where the girls are on there and doing certain things in the background, having a certain conversation. That works. We try not to go against the grain. But the majority of the time the people want the action in the ring and we try to be really consistent with that, and that’s what we are trying to do.”

He also revealed his goals in WWE, which are nothing short of ambitious:
“To me, anything less than being the top guy in the industry, the top villain in the industry, the WWE Champion, is a failure. That’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself, but whenever I look at it realistically, that’s just how it is.”
Early Rumors For Top Matches At Upcoming WWE Survivor Series PPV
Local advertisements currently running in Boston for November’s WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view focus on the CM Punk vs. Paul Heyman feud, as well as the Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton feud.

Whether this is a case of early advertisements still floating out there, or if this is an indication that both top programs will continue after the upcoming Night Of Champions pay-per-view, remains to be seen.
WWE Survivor Series takes place on Sunday, November 24th from Boston’s TD Garden arena.

-WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley recently posted a blog on his official Facebook page where he shared his thoughts on the Goldust vs. Randy Orton match from Monday’s Night Of Champions “go-home” edition of WWE RAW in Toronto.
Foley wrote:
“Like many of you, I have found myself completely caught up in the trials and tribulations of the Rhodes family. From Cody’s heartfelt exit from WWE, to older brother Dustin’s ability to turn back the hands of time to participate in an outstanding, emotional match with Randy Orton, to the bitter disappointment displayed with his agonizingly painful post-match walk down the hallway: this Rhodes family saga has quickly catapulted from mid-card curiosity to must-see real life drama. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this scenario so captivating.”

Drew McIntyre Speaks On His Friendship With Del Rio, Most Prestigious WWE Title
The following are highlights from a recent Sky Sports interview with WWE Superstar and 3MB member Drew McIntyre:
skysports.com: Do you enjoy being part of a tag team or do you prefer singles action?
DM: I am happy to do anything that comes my way and I will always do my best in anything that presents itself. However, I will be getting in the ring a lot more now that my wrist injury has cleared and I am back to 100 per cent.
skysports.com: Do you sense there is a resurgence in tag team wrestling at the moment?
DM: I love tag team wrestling. I held the titles in the past with Cody Rhodes – who has just been fired – but tag teams seemed to take a back seat after that. Now, though, with 3MB, The Shield, The Usos and The Prime Time Players, it is coming back in a big way. That’s great because tag teams are a big part of wrestling and we had brilliant teams, like The Hart Foundation, The Rockers, and Legion of Doom, before.
skysports.com: You are good friends with Alberto Del Rio. How did that relationship blossom?
DM: You can probably imagine how a Scot and a Mexican became such good mates! We are very similar personality-wise, we both love wrestling – he grew up in a wrestling family and I’ve always wanted to be a wrestler – and we are both very passionate about what we do and very driven.
skysports.com: Which titles in WWE do you consider to be the most prestigious?
DM: The WWE and World Heavyweight Titles are the ones everyone is aiming for and if you’re not aiming for them you are in the wrong business – and I like to think that when the time is right I will get my shot. I have just turned 28 and have lots of years left in me and after being hindered by injury I am ready to get going. I am hungrier and more vicious than I have ever been and I don’t think anyone can match my aggression.

WWE Teasing The Shield vs. Wyatt Family, Paige & Jo Jo Offerman Controversy
– WWE.com has a poll up asking fans which stable would in win a 6-man tag team match, The Shield or the Wyatt Family. With 457,000 votes cast, here are the current results:
- 44% – The Shield
- 56% – The Wyatt Family
– NXT Women’s Champion Paige continues to get very strong feedback for her work at WWE developmental. One of the main reasons the self proclaimed “Anti-Diva” has not yet been called up to the main roster is because WWE has an unwritten rule that their talent should be at least 21 years old before they go on the road. Paige turns 21 on August 17th.
Video: Paige Becomes The First-Ever NXT Women’s Champion
That said, there are some people in the locker room questioning why WWE broke that rule with Total Divas cast member Jo Jo Offerman, who is only 19 years old.
As for Jo Jo’s relationship with Justin Gabriel on Total Divas, there is talk of Justin Gabriel taking advantage of the teenage Diva, which would lead to a heel turn for the South African native.
Jim Ross Blog: Goldust vs. Randy Orton, Paul Heyman, The Wyatt Family
The following are highlights from a new online blog by WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:
JR on Paul Heyman: “Paul Heyman feigning a knee injury was funny. Reminded me of an old time promoter who pulled that stunt in grocery stores to score paydays back in early 70’s. Punk’s act of caning was timely and memorable.”
JR on The Wyatt Family: “Anxious to see what the eventual destination will be for Bray Wyatt & Family. Remember, big men with a second gear are special. Was actually surprised to see Wyatt vs Ziggler on Raw for some reason.”
JR on Randy Orton vs. Goldust: “Great build up for Goldust vs. Orton. The match was a good one too with the last five minutes hitting another level with all the near falls. Enjoyed the pace of Goldust vs Orton too. Far too many talents in the biz wrestle too fast more often than not & if the audience doesn’t have the time to process and feel what they are seeing, then who wins?”

Big News For Next Week’s RAW, Dusty Rhodes Returning?! **DETAILS HERE**
(Spoilers) WWE SmackDown Taping Results For This Week
The following are results for this week’s WWE SmackDown, courtesy of F4WOnline.com:
WWE SmackDown
BigShow comes to the ring with a letter he reads. He apologizes for what he did (or not did) on Raw. Triple H music hits. He thanks Show for apologizing and tell him he’s not gonna fire him but only suspend him for the night without pay, adding that it wouldn’t be a big deal for anyone, but as we all know, Show is broke.
As Show was leaving, The Shield’s music hits. They attack Show in the ring, but Show has the upper hand. He then goes to the outside and stands on the commentators table. After he had outmuscled the three men, he jumps from the table to shoulder block one of The Shield. They go back to the ring but Reigns attacks him with a chair. Some pretty good shot to the back and elbow. They end it with a triple power bomb to end the segment.
Alicia Fox, Oksana and Layla b Brie Bella, Natalya and Naomi by DQ after AJ, who was at commentaries, interfered in the match. Eva Marie, Nikki, JoJo, Cameron were all ringside.
Vickie Guerrero says that she needs to do what’s good for business, therefore, she announces a dancing contest. R-Truth is the first contestant. Then Fandango shows up with Summer Rae. The Miz, with an afro, calling himself Mizco Inferno. And finally the Great Khali. R-Truth does some break dance, Fandango his usual dance, The Miz tries to shake some ass, but splits up his pants in doing so and Khali his usual. The Miz wins the contest. Fandango asks them to leave his ring, but gets attack by Miz and Truth.
They redo the ending of the Divas match. As Natalya is in position for the Sharp Shooter, AJ gets in the ring for the DQ. Instead of leaving the ring as she did the first time, she stays in and gets both Brie and Naomi finishers and as Natalya was about to do her sharp shooter, the non-Total Divas girls make the save. I don’t know why the redo the spot, the only thing I see is that AJ was supposed to stay in the ring and be saved by the other Divas. The magic of Smackdown!
Ryback does a backstage interview with Robert Evans, who says he’s coming from Ottawa, and Ryback ends up slapping the heck out of him. Evans is ROH’s RD Evans and CHIKARA’s Archibald Peck.
Elsewhere backstage, Vickie tells Ricardo Rodriguez he’ll have a match against Alberto Del Rio with RVD in his corner later tonight.
Santino Marella b Damien Sandow
Not a long match, he won it with the Cobra strike. Great reaction for Santino though.
Michael Coles brings to the ring Curtis Axel and Paul Heyman. Heyman talks about Punk and Night of the Champions PPV. He says that no matter what happens Sunday, if it’s the last time he can speak in front of the WWE Universe, he wants people to know that he’ll always love CM Punk but will never forgive the fans. Fans answered back with a “Na na na hey hey goodbye chant”. Ahhh, Eastern Canada crowd!
Alberto Del Rio b Ricardo Rodriguez
Almost a squash match. He beat him with an inverted superplex. After the match, Del Rio put an armbar on his former announcer and RVD made the save.
Dean Ambrose b Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler does his 10 elbow drops spot. Good match. Ziggler sells for Ambrose a lot. After Ziggler hits the famouser to Ambrose and goes for the pin, Reigns and Rollins make the save. The Usos then came to Ziggler’s rescue. Vickie shows up and announces a 6-man tag right here, right now. The finish saw one of the Usos doing a couple of superkicks to both Reigns and Rollins. He tries a splash for the top rope, got the knees by Rollins who school boy him for the win.
Final segment. Cutting Edge with Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan.
Edge says that he’s been asked by Triple H to do a Cutting Edge because that’s what good for business. “Good for business” chant.
Edge asks the first question. How does it feel to be a sellout? Edge adds that the fans know what is good for business.
Bryan says that he doesn’t care what’s good for business. The most important things in his mind have nothing to do with what’s best for business. The WWE title is his dream and nothing is more important.
Orton says he’s gonna make Bryan’s dream happen tonight and attacks him. Edge leaves the ring, but Bryan turns the attack into a Lebell lock until the referees come to stop it.
After being off the air, Edge comes back to the ring, does a promo to the cameraman inaudible for the crowd. He laughed with Bryan and leaves.
Dark main-event
Daniel Bryan b Randy Orton
As Bryan had the Lebell Lock on, The Shield got in, followed by Kofi, RVD and Ziggler. They all attacked The Shield. Good match actually, looking good for this Sunday.
Biggest pop
Daniel Bryan
Edge
Santino Marella
Natalya
Biggest heat

(Spoilers) WWE Main Event Taping Results For This Week
The following are results for this week’s WWE Main Event, courtesy of F4WOnline.com:
Dark Match
Tyson Kidd b Bo Dallas in a non-title match
Bo was heavily booed and did a promo saying it was good to be in Montreal (we’re in Ottawa)
Decent match, Kidd won it with a his diving neck breaker.
WWE Main Event
Kofi Kingston b Antonio Cesaro acc. Zeb Colter
Kofi did some highfly on the outside. Big “maple syrup” chant towards Zeb. Believe it or not, that sign got taken away by security!
There’s a “We want Maryse” sign, the Miz at commentaries saw it and really had a good laugh!
Kofi with a lot of offense. Cesaro with his European uppserput, but Kofi kicks out at 2. Cesaro with his giant swing. He actually turned 39 times. Got great reaction from the crowd. Cesaro follows with a clothesline, for 2. Kingston finally wins with his Trouble in Paradise. Good match. Worth watching Main-Event just for that.
Sweet T and Brodus Clay are at commentaries Prime Time Players b 3MB (Slater and Mahal)
O’Neil won with his Clash of the Titus on Mahal.
Big E. Langston b R-Truth
At one point, Truth did a scary dive to the outside, almost going head first. Big E wins with the Big Ending. Not much of a match.

Complete Details On WWE Hall Of Famer Bob Backlund’s Upcoming Autobiography
Former multiple-time WWE Champion and WWE Hall Of Famer Bob Backlund will be releasing his autobiography, “The All-American Kid: Lessons And Stories On Life From Wrestling Legend Bob Backlund” on March 4, 2014. The book will be co-written by Robert H. Miller.
The official description for the book reads as follows:
Bob Backlund began life as a poor farm boy in the little village of Princeton, Minnesota, with a population of just over 2,000 people. He was a below-average student with a lackluster work ethic and a bad attitude, who hung with the wrong crowd and made a lot of bad choices. He was a kid whose life was headed for disaster—until a local coach took interest in him, suggested that he take up amateur wrestling, and offered to work with him if he promised to stay out of trouble.
It was in North Dakota that Bob Backlund had the first of several chance encounters that would shape his destiny. While working out at the YMCA gymnasium in Fargo, North Dakota, where he wrestled for North Dakota State, Backlund met a well-known professional wrestler, “Superstar” Billy Graham. The men talked, and at Graham’s suggestion, Backlund was inspired to pursue a career in professional wrestling.
Less than five years from that day, on February 20, 1978, Backlund would find himself halfway across the country, standing in the middle of the ring at Madison Square Garden with his hand raised in victory as the newly crowned World Wide Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion. The man Backlund pinned for the championship that night was none other than Superstar Billy Graham.
With interviews from “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and The Iron Sheik, as well as Vince McMahon, the president and CEO of the WWE, The All-American Kid tells the incredible story and career of Bob Backlund, one of the most famous wrestlers since the inception of the sport. From his rough upbringing and rise to fame to his failed run for Congress and revived career, Bob Backlund has traveled the world, learning and seeing more than most people will in a lifetime.
