Details on WWE’s Partnership With Doritos & How John Cena Made It Happen

Entertainment publication Variety has an article up looking at WWE’s partnership with Doritos for this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view. In conjunction with Dollar General stores, WWE & Doritos will be giving away SummerSlam viewing parties that are hosted by Ricky Steamboat and Sgt. Slaughter. That promotion runs through July 21st.

WWE will also conduct fan correspondent searches, with the winners getting to interview WWE superstars for the WWE App. Frito-Lay’s VP of Marketing, Ram Krishnan, told Variety that we will see “one more surprise” this summer that will push its bold marketing to a whole new level.

WWE has been trying to get Doritos as a sponsor for several years now. According to the report, the company was swayed by the large audience WWE drew when John Cena spoke at the South by Southwest convention back in March. WWE’s strong social media presence is also seen as another factor that helped secure the partnership.

Speaking of WWE’s partnership with Doritos, the winner of the Doritos Jacked fan contest was backstage at Monday’s RAW from Brooklyn and got to meet Daniel Bryan. Here’s video of the meeting:

These are storyline injuries to build their expected match at SummerSlam and we’ve not heard anything about Punk being legitimately injured.

– There was a running joke backstage at Sunday’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view that the Philadelphia crowd was larger than all of the total crowds combined that Rob Van Dam wrestled in front of while in TNA.

– Stephanie McMahon tweeted the following Monday night, hinting that Vince McMahon could be returning next week to address the John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan SummerSlam main event:

– The Shield explained their attack on Mark Henry from RAW during a backstage video that aired exclusively on the WWE App. US Champion Dean Ambrose said Henry could have been anything he wanted to be in WWE, but he’s a disappointment because he’s not hungry and has no heart. He says Henry doesn’t deserve another WWE title shot and his time in WWE is running out.

Roman Reigns called Henry an “old dog” and told him to go home and sit his big butt on the couch. Seth Rollins said The Shield are the most important thing in WWE and Henry is just a clog of injustice in a system that should have been shut down a long time ago.

– Chris Jericho tweeted the following about his match against Rob Van Dam on RAW:

In response to a fan who said it’s ‘scary’ that Jericho is probably in his prime right now at 42 years old, Jericho agreed and said, “2013 has been one of my favorite in ring years EEEVVVEERR!”

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

WWE’s New Performance Center:  “No one is more excited than am I about the Performance Center. Years ago our team had a vision to start the Development Program in WWE and I always dreamed that we would have a state of the art facility someday but I never dreamed of anything the magnitude of what WWE now has.”

Sandow Winning MITB: “Never saw Damien Sandow’s win coming but thanks to hard work and re-inventing himself, Sandow is now the winner of MITB and his career got another boost Sunday night. Damien is a great example of never giving up and doing what one has to do improve himself and to eventually “make the team.” He’s also taken a piece of creative, made it his own, and has become what was creatively envisioned for him and more.”

John Cena vs. Mark Henry: “Cena vs, Henry was the type of match that I used to covet calling back in the day. Straight forward, easy to understand story that made sense. Of course,  those that aren’t Cena fans likely weren’t happy that Cena won but that’s nothing new. Mark Henry really came to play Sunday night and was impressive especially when one considers that he is a 400 pounder. I also loved the lighting for this WWE Title contest. It felt classic, old school.”

Randy Orton’s MITB Win: ” The final match of the evening, the MITB Ladder match for the WWE Title was a human demolition derby of epic proportions that delivered in a multi layered, big way. Several issues were forwarded, everyone in the match got an opportunity to shine and, at least for me, the winner, Randy Orton, was unexpected.”

Ultimate Warrior Returns from Parts Unknown to WWE® 2K14

Enigmatic WWE Legend makes historic video game franchise debut; available through exclusive pre-order offer

NEW YORK – July 15, 2013 – 2K today announced the emphatic return of Ultimate Warrior to the ring – virtually – in WWE® 2K14, the forthcoming installment in the flagship WWE video game franchise. Making his long-awaited arrival from Parts Unknown, the self-professed “Founding Father of Life Intensity” will be an exclusive playable character for those who pre-order the game at any participating retailer for the Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft or PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

“Immortality is inspiration, pure and simple. An example to others that they, too, can do things larger than the life they are actually living, and Ultimate Warrior was the pure embodiment of this belief, in what has proven to be a very attention-getting and inspiring way,” said Warrior. “It was my good fortune to be his creator and performer, and I am humbled by all those fans who’ve not only kept his legacy alive, but deepened it over time. In WWE 2K14, Ultimate Warrior’s creed, ‘Always Believe,’ lives on.”

Making his WWE debut in 1987, Ultimate Warrior garnered worldwide attention and became a pop-culture phenomenon for his iconic music and ring entrance, zealous personality, boundless energy and dominant in-ring prowess. Though he faced many rivals throughout his career, including Honky Tonk Man, “Ravishing” Rick Rude, Sgt. Slaughter, “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Undertaker, perhaps his most celebrated match was against Hulk Hogan in “The Ultimate Challenge” at WrestleMania® VI on April 1, 1990. Warrior defeated Hogan that day to unify the WWE Championship and Intercontinental Championship, becoming the first WWE Superstar ever to hold both titles simultaneously.

“There has never been another WWE Superstar quite like the Ultimate Warrior – his intensity and energy is unmatched, and his legacy is undeniable,” said Chris Snyder, Senior Director of Marketing at 2K. “Fans love him, opponents fear him and everyone can agree that he’s one of the most iconic Legends in WWE history. Pre-ordering WWE 2K14 is the only way we mere mortals will ever have a glimpse into the greatness that is Ultimate Warrior.”

Become Immortal – 2K’s lineup of premier sports simulation titles expands with the company’s upcoming release in the renowned WWE video game franchise, WWE 2K14. Developed by Yukes for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system, WWE 2K14 is positioned to be the most electrifying, authentic and comprehensive WWE video game experience to date. WWE 2K14 is not yet rated by the ESRB. Players who pre-order WWE 2K14 will receive Ultimate Warrior at no extra cost on launch day on October 29, 2013 in North America and November 1, 2013 internationally.
