It would appear that Rosita is no longer affiliated with TNA Wrestling. The organization updated its Knockouts Photo Galleries page over the weekend and the sparingly seen wrestler was removed from its roster list along with Traci Brooks and Winter, who both confirmed parting ways with the organization.

Rosita is still listed on the main roster page, although several performers who have parted ways with the organization since May remain listed. This includes Devon, Matt Morgan, Ric Flair, Velvet Sky and Winter.

The 21-year-old wrestler has been without a role since Mexican America quietly dissolved in the spring. Her last television appearance took place five months ago on the April 17 episode of Impact Wrestling. During her absence, she became a certified instructor of Zumba and continued to compete for various independent leagues.

Meanwhile, Rosita, whose real name is Thea Trinidad, recalled her out-of-character interview at last year’s No Surrender pay-per-view event remembering her father, who died ten years ago that day in the September 11 attacks.

“Last yrs #NoSurrender PPV INTERVIEW gave u a piece of therealme. My story, my love4wrestling, my drive4 allaroundsuccess lives on thx2my Dad,” she tweeted. “I’m so appreciative of the love and support of my family, friends and fans.. You all help fuel my fire. God has blessed me in so many ways.”

WWE Reportedly Leaning Toward Making WWE Network A Pay-TV Channel

Daniel Pena

The official website of Los Angeles Times has published an article reporting that WWE is leaning toward launching a pay-TV channel with its fledgling WWE Network.

WWE originally hoped to launch the channel on the basic cable tier and receive a subscription fee of approximately 20 cents per month per subscriber. However, space is limited on most cable and satellite systems and the amount of WWE content already available limited the growth potential of a stand-alone commercial network.

“Clearly the cable operators didn’t view what they brought to market as compelling enough,” said Brad Safalow, an analyst with PAA Research who took the organization to task last month during its second-quarter-earnings call for not sharing more information on the network.

WWE is now focusing its efforts on creating a commercial-free, pay-subscription channel similar to HBO and Showtime that consumers would order at their discretion, according to people familiar with the sports-entertainment organization’s mindset.

If WWE goes forward with a premium channel, it would likely feature most pay-per-view events on the network to entice people to sign up. The exceptions would be major events, most notably WrestleMania.

“Subscribing to the network would be a ‘no brainer’ for the company’s hardcore fans,” Safalow stated in a recent report.

He anticipates a subscription price of $14.95 for the channel and that WWE should be able to instantly garner 400,000 subscribers and almost double that amount in two years. He projects that in 2014, a pay channel could add as much as $141.6 million in revenue to the company.

WWE remains mum on its plans for the network. “The WWE Network in any form is a transformative opportunity if we execute it right,” said George Barrios, WWE’s Chief Financial Officer. “It is taking the appropriate amount of time for us to identify the best strategic and financial opportunity.”

Chyna Recalls Confronting Stephanie McMahon About Triple H Affair, Vince’s Reaction

Daniel Pena

Chyna, who is clamoring for a one night return to WWE to properly say goodbye to her fans, recounted the nature of her departure from the sports-entertainment organization in 2001 on Twitter Sunday night.

She sorely recalled how she discovered that Triple H, her then-boyfriend, had been having an affair with Stephanie McMahon, as well as the aftermath, which included a behind closed doors confrontation with the WWE chief’s daughter. She wrote, “If you didn’t know, Triple H & I were engaged during the time of the Mcmahon/Helmsley Takeover on Raw. About 6 months into that storyline, Paul would come home and start arguments with me for no reason and leave out for a few days. After he left one day, he left the Haliburton brief case that I gave him in the house. Now, I’m not one to be snooping but something just Didn’t feel right. I opened it up and found a love letter that Stephaniewrote to him a year earlier saying that she was in love with him. I called Vince up and told him what I found out. He just replied that the jig was up.

“The next day I went to the Raw show where there was a Bunch of wrestlers talking as I walked in the backstage. They started parting the way and turning their backs to me. Not even asking why I was crying. The same wrestlers that I had trained and performed with day in and day out. I was lead into Vince office where he was there With Stephanie. She basically said that Paul was his and I just had to deal with it. I said that she was lucky her father was there or I Would of ripped her face off. Vince said to go home and take some time off and then we will deal with it. I was near the end of my contract So basically, he never resigned me.”

Chyna alleges that Vince McMahon wreaked havoc on her professional life post-WWE by having entertainment companies blacklist her. She continues, “He choose his daughters happiness over his talent and maybe he should have. But this was business. Even if he didn’t want me on the show anymore because of the two of them , I couldn’t of been a trainer of up and coming talent? I couldn’t of done something else within WWE where I never would of had to run into or deal with Stephanie. Then to blackball me in other Ventures was inexcusable. Didn’t you know that it was me, not Kristen Loken, that was suppose to be the female Terminator in Terminator 3? But Vince threw his weight around and basically told everyone that if you want access to the wrestlers then they couldn’t desal with me.”

Chyna then ponders why she has not been welcomed back by WWE when other wrestlers have done far worse things than pornography. She writes, “Since that time, I have never heard anything from Paul. Not even just to see how I was doing. Nothing. I will admit that for a long time I was bitter. But lets not forget, I was stilla woman that was cheated on. Wrestling has nothing to do with that fact. And over the course of those 12 years , I have asked many time to copme back not for me, but so that I could give a proper goodbye to My fansbecause they deserve nothing less than that. But he has always said No. I did hear this rumor that he was going to put me into The WWE Hall of Fame but that was before I did the brief appearance on TNA.

“So the idea of me doing porn is the reason why I can’t come back because likeI said, porn was 12 yrs down the line. And, me doing porn only affects me. It was my choice to do it. Other wrestlers have done far worse and Vince welcomes them back With open arms and a friendly smile.

“Pat Patterson was accused of sexual harrassment of a WWE official and is fired. Once the charges are dropped, not only is he rehired but He gets put into The Hall of Fame. And how many times did Jeff Hardy get arrested over drugs and still came back? So see, I’m have a reason tom be bitter but I will let it go for the love of my fans in the WWE. I don’t have to have any interactions with Paul or Stephanie. This is what I would like. Maybe to be a guest announcer one night where I’m able to actually say goodbye to everyone That would be ideal but this is the real world and sorry but I’m not joining Vince’s Kiss My Ass Club.”

“Barrett has always remains unchanged in his perpetual search for domination. As long as there is authority, Wade Barrett will be there to not only challenge it, but also uproot it and attempt to take its place. As long as this bare-knuckled Brit is on the prowl, the world of WWE is just a little less safe than it once was.

Following a partially dislocated elbow that kept him out of action for nearly seven months, a reinvigorated Barrett made his intense return to WWE. The English Superstar used his downtime to get back to basics and “reignite the flame” – presumably through participation in the sort of bare-knuckle boxing he took part in early in his past. Picking up a microphone, he served notice to the WWE Universe that he was “open for business.” Whatever that meant, it was sure to spell disaster for anyone who stepped in his way.”

Glenn Jacobs Says Kane Is Everything He’s Not; How He’s Been Able To Last In Professional Wrestling

Daniel Pena

Speaking to Times of India, Glenn Jacobs says he’s not at all like his sadistic Kane character in real life.

“Kane is everything I’m not,” he said. “But also, I think that what has always drawn people to Kane is that he has an emotional depth. The presentation is awesome, he’s a great character. All the things he says, people always see that there’s something behind that and that’s what they relate to. I’m pretty much the opposite. I’m not Kane for sure.”

Jacobs, who portrayed a character similar to Kane in the 2006 slasher film See No Evil, feels his involvement with wrestling taught him how to act.

He said, “I don’t know if wrestling naturally progresses to acting. It depends on the individual. You have Dwayne (Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson) who’s probably doing the best of everybody, but it’s hard to say if it’s a natural thing that happens after wrestling. Of course, acting is what we do as part of the entertainment. In fact, we are more like a live action soap opera. I wore a mask for most of my career, but that helped me with certain skills that people have otherwise. One time someone asked Robert De Niro what acting meant to him and he held his hand in front of his face and said ‘this is me when I’m angry’, ‘this is me when I’m sad’ and so forth. All that time, his face didn’t change but you could see something did change that expressed those emotions and you could tell what he was trying to say…”

In his twenty-first year as a professional wrestler, Jacobs feels he has been able to withstand its rigors by keeping himself in shape.

“What we do is athletic, basically. There were the days when the guys were huge and bulky and with bellies, but now we have to be in good shape,” he said. “We have to have pretty good endurance. I’ve been pretty fortunate as far injuries are concerned. I’ve had minor injuries… Torn a bicep, broken a hand… It’s the worst for some people who get the nagging injuries, but I’ve taken good care of myself.”

Jacobs also discusses his promotional trip of India, whether he would be interested in appearing in a Bollywood film, the hardest part of being a wrestler and more. The full interview is available here.

– WWE NXT star Kassius Ohno tweeted the following about his discus elbow finishing move, which he’d dubbed, the “KO” –

“A Rolling Elbow minus the ‘roll’ is simply an elbow. Discus throwers spin in a circle to build momentum & increase power. The trick is maintaining accuracy as the elbow connects. If done right, the move is incredibly effective. Can’t fault someone for utilizing such a devastating maneuver. Besides, you never know where that certain someone may have picked up the technique. Tanaka? Misawa? Or… My dream is to carry on the legacy of the Elbow from Mitsuharu Misawa just as he carried it from Jumbo Tsuruta and brought it to new heights”

– WWE Diva Cameron, who is currently serving a 15 day suspension following her recent DUI arrest, is no longer being advertised for an upcoming autograph signing with Brodus Clay and Naomi at the Steiner Sports Store in Garden City, NY on September 22nd.

WWEDVDNews.com has published some interesting quotes by CM Punk and The Rock from the new “John Cena vs. The Rock: Once In a Lifetime” DVD and Blu-ray, on sale this week.

Here are some highlights of what Punk said about The Rock:

The Rock vs. Cena Rivalry: “I wish we could get more face to face stuff, you know, but I guess that’s kind of the dichotomy we’re stuck with. I also think that’s what makes it interesting.”

Rock Returning & Main Eventing: “It’s been a frustrating year. Not just for me but a lot of other Superstars. The Rock waltzes in and he wrestles two days a year. Rock says this place is family, well, I hang out with my family as often as I can.”

During the documentary portion of the DVD, The Rock addresses rumors that the WWE locker room was not happy about him returning and being featured in a main event spot:

“I strip away all the BS that can be fostered in the locker room with some of the guys. strip away all that, because I don’t hear all that, it’s all noise, and it’s all bullshit to me.”
