– At Sunday’s WWE Night of Champions pay-per-view from Boston, WWE Champion CM Punk wore pinstriped ring gear. This was a nod to the New York Yankees, the top rival of the local Boston Red Sox. Paul Heyman was reportedly the person who had the idea for Punk to wear pinstripes in Boston.

– WWE reportedly took away anti-John Cena signs before the main event at Sunday’s Night of Champions PPV.

– New WWE Divas Champion Eve Torres is said to be a real favorite of WWE management.

– The referee who “screwed” CM Punk in the main event of last night’s RAW was Brad Maddox. Maddox is a a two-time FCW Tag Team Champion and a former FCW 15 Champion. He also worked as a referee at developmental.

– Randy Orton remains very vocal behind the scenes about wanting to work as a heel. WWE officials have been waiting for Sheamus to fully establish himself as the top babyface on SmackDown before switching Orton, but the feeling is that Orton will turn heel by the end of the year.

WWE Has Video Ad Attacking Linda McMahon Taken Down

A video advertisement released by Connecticut Democrats on Monday morning featuring racy WWE footage that occurred while Linda McMahon reigned as the sports-entertainment organization’s CEO was taken down within hours.

WWE had the video, which featured clips of Edge and Lita’s “Live Sex Celebration” and Triple H dressed as Kane simulating mock sex with a mannequin in a casket, pulled at 3:51 p.m. on Monday afternoon. The page now features a statement reading: “Vimeo has removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. claiming that this material is infringing: PG TV?.”

The video is one of many clips to be removed in recent days as the sports-entertainment organization takes down material which it says “has been misused in political environments” and seeks to transition into a “more family-friendly” brand.

Here is the press release the Connecticut Democratic Party released Monday morning touting the video:

The WWE is scrubbing the internet of sexually explicit material from Linda McMahon’s tenure as CEO

WHAT LINDA MCMAHON DOESN’T WANT YOU TO SEE: CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS ROLL OUT NEW CAMPAIGN TO HIGHLIGHT MCMAHON’S RECORD THAT THE WWE IS TRYING TO HIDE

(Hartford, Connecticut) In response to news that the WWE is scrubbing the internet of sexually explicit material from Linda McMahon’s tenure as CEO, the Connecticut Democratic Party is launching a new campaign to highlight the truth about McMahon’s past. The fact is that Linda McMahon made millions marketing sex, violence, necrophilia, and abusive treatment of women to children – all at the expense of the health and safety of her own workers – and is now spending a fortune on attacks and lies to try and distract from her record.

To kick off the campaign, today the Connecticut Democratic Party is re-releasing a video that highlights the type of programming Linda McMahon marketed to children. The video includes footage of wrestlers engaging in lewd sex acts, including one scene in which a wrestler has sex with a corpse.

To watch the video, click here.

“Linda McMahon made millions peddling sex, violence, necrophilia, and abusive treatment of women to kids – all at the expense and safety of her own workers – and is now spending a fortune on attacks and lies to distract from her past,” said Nancy DiNardo, Chairwoman of the Connecticut Democratic Party.

“Despite the WWE’s best efforts to play cover-up, they can’t erase Linda McMahon’s past. Why would Linda McMahon’s WWE cronies be trying to body slam the truth? Because Republican candidate Linda McMahon is afraid of it. We’re going to make sure Connecticut families have the facts and know the truth about Linda McMahon’s record.”

Later in the evening, Morgan got physical after the Jeff Hardy vs. James Storm match ended in a time limit draw. As fans were chanting for the match to continue, Morgan leveled referee Brian Stifler with his Carbon Footprint kick. Morgan got a huge pop from the crowd and was removed from the arena by security.

– Kurt Angle worked the Wilkes-Barre, PA Show and wrestled twice, despite an injury to either his knee or his hamstring (there are conflicting reports on this). Angle worked a short match against Daniels early in the night and teamed with AJ Styles and Austin Aries in the main event against Bobby Roode, Daniels and Kazarian. AJ Styles and Austin Aries helped Angle to the back after the match and Angle did not take part in the post-show autograph signing event, as advertised.

Kurt Angle On Whether Austin Aries Is To Small To Be TNA Champion & More

Staff

Kurt Angle recently spoke to ChadDukesWrestlingShow.com about whether he’s still interested in MMA, helping young talent get over, whether Austin Aries is too small to be TNA World champion & more. Here are some highlights of what Angle said about:

Whether he’s still interested in competing in mixed martial arts: “The last time I talked was two and a half years ago with Dana White, I took the UFC physical. We just couldn’t come to terms on a starting time. I wanted it 3-6 months, Dana needed me in four and a half weeks and I understand he wanted me to be ready and he needed me at that point and it just wasn’t gonna work out.”

When asked whether White had an opponent in mind for Angle, he responded, “Well, they wanted me to be on Ultimate Fighter but I told them I wouldn’t do it for free. So he came up with a very nice deal, that being I would get paid very well for that, thank god, and a 6 fight deal. I didn’t want to go in there half prepared. I wanted to go in there full blown. I’m 43 now, I tried out for the Olympics or I was going to and I got injured five different times last year. So my body’s just not holding up the way I want it to so I don’t think it’s going to be a possibility.”

On being the go-to guy in assisting new talent in getting over: “I really enjoyed it, I took it as a compliment. At TNA they did the same thing. They’d bring in somebody like the Pope or Mr. Anderson or whoever else that was coming in that was coming from WWE or had somewhat of a name, the first program they’d do would be with me. I’ve always enjoyed that it’s a good challenge and Desmond Wolfe was another one that came from Ring of Honor. So I like that and I know that the company has faith in me. Both WWE did and TNA had the faith in me to make the guys look as good as I could.”

Whether Austin Aries is too small to be TNA World Heavyweight Champion: “No. I think Austin Aries as champion, I think he deserves it, he’s an awesome talent. Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, unfortunately their tragedies really damaged the ability for smaller guys to step up and become champions. I don’t know why but I think they were just unfortunate. I don’t think it was because of their size, I think they were just terrible tragedies that happened with both those families and it’s gotten a little bit of a bad reputation now, the under 6 foot club and I don’t think it should be that way. I think any size is a good size.”
