Paul Bearer Considered A Lock For The 2014 WWE Hall of Fame

Word going around backstage at Monday’s RAW was that the late Paul Bearer is the first name locked in for the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame.

Now the discussion is shifting to who will induct Paul Bearer – with virtually everybody suggesting that he should be inducted by The Undertaker. The Dead Man never  appears at the Hall of Fame ceremonies (because he is very protective of his character) – but is expected to induct his close friend.  Another name brought up for Bearer’s inductor is Michael “PS” Hayes.

With Paul Bearer getting inducted next year – it seems highly unlikely that WWE will induct another (equally deserving) deceased performer, Randy Savage.

Backstage News On WWE’s Total Divas Reality Show

On Monday’s RAW, WWE began promoting the upcoming “Total Divas” reality show that will premiere on the E! Network this summer. The show will be one hour long and will feature The Bella Twins, The Funkdactyls, Natyla and two new WWE Divas – Eva Marie & Jo-Jo Offerman [Photos].

Originally, the plan was for the cast of “Total Divas” to be comprised of women who attended WWE’s recent Divas casting call, but the company felt that not enough women would be right for the project.

E! camera men were on hand  just at WrestleMania 29 and conveniently got footage of the The Bella Twins and Funkadactyls being told that their mixed tag match (with Brodus Clay, Tensai & Team Rhodes Scholars) would be cut from the PPV. Some are speculating that WWE never intended for the match to take place – and simply wanted to get the reactions of the women involved in Total Divas.

Expect to see the cast members of Total Divas featured on prominently on WWE television through the summer.

Ziggler Tops This Week’s ESPN Power Rankings – Title Tournament Suggested

ESPN.com‘s Jon Robinson has posted his weekly WWE Power Rankings, with World Heavyweight champion Dolph Ziggler topping this week’s list. Here’s the Top 10:

1. Dolph Ziggler
2. The Shield
3. John Cena
4. Ryback
5. Randy Orton
6. Cody Rhodes
7. Team Hell No
8. Alberto Del Rio
9. Fandango
10. The Undertaker

Robinson suggests that if John Cena’s injury keeps him out of action for long, WWE should strip Cena of the title and hold a one-night 8-man tournament to crown a new Unified champion:

“Dolph Ziggler combines the technical skill of Mr. Perfect, the athletic electricity of Shawn Michaels and the hip gyrations of “Ravishing” Rick Rude all in one superstar. And with John Cena suffering an injured Achilles during the WWE’s European tour, this might be Ziggler’s chance to not only show off with his World Heavyweight championship, but win the WWE title and unify the belts (it’s not like they separate the brands anymore, anyway).”

– A report at PWInsider.com states that there is currently lot of tension between The Rock and WWE management, although neither side will admit it publicly. While The Rock always has his detractors in the WWE locker room, some people feel that The Rock didn’t do right by WWE during his most recent run.

It’s unclear exactly what the issue is, but it could have to do with The Rock not appearing on WWE television enough due to his busy schedule and not promoting WWE enough during his media appearances. That said, The Rock is still a valuable member of the WWE family and the general feeling is that things will eventually get worked out.

– Following Monday’s RAW, Zack Ryder tweeted, “My ankle hurts…legit.”

Backstage News On Antonio Cesaro’s Standing In WWE, Prime Time Players

– There are a lot of people in WWE wondering exactly what’s going on with Antonio Cesaro, specifically, the way he’s been booked in recent months. After a strong upper-midcard push in 2012 and a lengthy run with the United States Championship, his stock has apparently crashed and his omission from the WrestleMania 29 card was the strongest indication yet that WWE has put the breaks on his career momentum.

Asking around, nobody seems to know why Cesaro is being pulled “pulled” the way he is. As best as people can tell, it’s an example of WWE creative not having a clear vision for many of their Superstars.

– As noted on Monday, Darren Young and Titus O’Neil visited Ohio State University prior to RAW and trained with the college football team. Footage of their meeting with the OSU football team and Coach Urban Meyer aired on the WWE App during RAW.

The Prime Time Players were also featured in a WWE App segment with the Columbus Crew Major League Soccer Team, who were in attendance at RAW.
