– After complaining to a Connecticut news station about not getting paid after Election Day, workers for Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon’s campaign say they were given checks that bounced. One worker says he got a bad check and a condom.

Said a campaign worker who complained publicly, “Basically he handed me a check with a condom in it, told me I was screwed. That’s the rudest gesture you can ever do to a person, it’s like spitting in a person’s face.” (Article)

– Former WWE talent Michael Manna (a/k/a Stevie Richards) appeared on Fox & Friends on Fox News discussing the best high-tech gifts for the holidays. Video of his appearance is available here.

– Sheamus appears at Autorama at the George R Brown Convention Center 1001 Avenida De Las Americas Houston, Texas, today from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Backstage News On John Cena & AJ Lee’s Beef With Vickie & Ziggler

– WWE Diva AJ Lee tweeted the following about John Cena attacking Dolph Ziggler on Friday’s SmackDown:

– We reported several weeks ago that WWE was interested in pairing John Cena with AJ Lee for a mixed tag program against Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero. With the recent return of Tamina, WrestleZone.com reports that the new plan would be for her to team with Dolph instead and for Vickie to be in their corner.

At one point there was talk of having the match take place at TLC, but the feeling is that a John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler singles match is more of a draw and better for Ziggler’s push.

It’s possible WWE could feature the Cena & AJ vs. Ziggler & Tamina match on an upcoming episode of RAW to build more interest in the Cena vs. Ziggler PPV match.

“And for those who have played it and understand the game know what I am talking about and those who don’t and I have this argument with my American buddies all the time who are great football players and I tell them ‘so as amazing as you are in football I want you to take all your pads off including your helmet and go play the game and see how long you last’. So no I don’t wish I was playing.”

Bret Hart Talks About Undertaker & Steve Austin’s Characters Evolving, Hogan-Warrior

As noted earlier, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart recently spoke to Canada’s CTVNews to hype the new WWE ’13 video game. You can read Hart’s quotes comparing today’s current generation to the main eventers of the 1980’s at our earlier report here.

Hart also spoke about the Attitude Era bringing about the evolution of Steve Austin and the Undertaker’s characters – and what it was like during the mid 1990’s when WWE transitioned from pushing one-dimensional bodybuilders like Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior to technical masters like him and Shawn Michaels.

Wrestling Evolving From Bodybuilders To Technicians:“I don’t want to rag too much on Hulk Hogan but he’s pretty one-dimensional,” said Hart. “Very big guy. The great, magnificent body that he had — the 22-inch arms and all that kind of stuff. But after a while, after (The Ultimate) Warrior came, it was like, ‘Enough of the body-building, let’s go on with who can actually do a drop-kick and who can actually climb up on top and do stuff.’

“I think the wrestling really did change from these sort of dinosaurs to the guys who were really picking it up and doing the moves.”

Undertaker’s Evolution: “Whereas in the beginning, he was kind of like Frankenstein, kind of moving around slow and ponderous in the ring, and was very methodical. But times changed and by the mid-90s, Undertaker had revamped his whole character.”

Steve Austin’s Evolution: “I like to think I was carrying the flag for the whole company, where it wasn’t about the wrestlers being cartoon characters,” said Hart. “It was about the wrestlers being committed stars that were trying to get to the top.”

R-Truth Talks About His Background As A Dancer & Singer

WWE superstar R-Truth recently spoke to SoulTrain.com about his background as a dancer and singer influencing his wrestling career. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

His Dance Background Helped I’m In The Ring: “My background in dance pretty much sets the pace for me, and I don’t have to explain what it is because it’s real. You can’t make that up. You can try to create it through character, but that’s not the realest thing. It’s just in me. My dance background helped me tremendously. Dancing is like second nature to me.”

Expressing Himself Creatively In The Studio & In The Ring: “I’ve been wrestling and making music for a long time. I’ve been around the right people in the entertainment business who know what it takes in several different areas to make things happen. I’m passionate about both of them, so I try to be an artist when I’m doing both. In many ways professional wrestling is a dance. I guess it depends on how you look at it. When I’m in the ring I’ve got a million people watching me weekly, looking for me to present something memorable to them. I try to do that in the studio as well.”

Gabe Sapolsky Raves About His Experience Working With Dean Ambrose

Paul Heyman’s Heyman Hustle site has a guest blog up by Gabe Sapolsky, who talks about his memorable times working with Dean Ambrose in the Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE promotions. Here’s a sample of what Sapolsky wrote –

“I’ll never forget the very first moment I worked with the man now known as Dean Ambrose,” he wrote. “There was only one other time I experienced anything like it in my 10 year booking career and that was with Paul Heyman’s current top hustler, CM Punk.”

The first time he got a chance to work with Ambrose, “I eagerly awaited for Ambrose to arrive at the armory for the Peterson Cup. I wanted to see what he was all about face-to-face. Shortly after he arrived, I immediately seized the opportunity to work with him for the first time. I wasn’t sure what we had on our hands, but I was about to find out.”

“Come on,” I said to Ambrose before he had time to prepare for anything, “time to cut a promo.”

“We scurried into a back room, I think a janitor’s closet actually. He asked if there were any bullet points. I purposely told him to just run with whatever he thought the people should know about him. He then cut an amazing, unique and distinctive promo that floored me.”

When he was done my gut instincts were screaming, “PUT THIS GUY IN SOMETHING NOW!”

I didn’t even care if he could wrestle. His charisma, poise and presence was one-in-a-million. The only other time I was sold on a talent before seeing how well he could wrestle was CM Punk, who dazzled me by showing a command of the audience during a simple ring entrance. Fortunately, both Punk and Ambrose are equally great talents in the ring.”

You can read the full blog at the Heyman Hustle. Sapolsky’s next blog for the Hustle will discuss his time working with Seth Rollins.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross posted a special Thanksgiving blog on Thursday talking about what he’s thankful for. You can read the full entry at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR wrote about:

WWE: The best professional move that I ever made was coming to WWE in 1993. In approximately two months, I will be a 20 year guy in WWE while celebrating 39 years in the business in 2013. The McMahon family has facilitated all my wrestling dreams coming true and a quality of life that I never foresaw.

WCW: I’m thankful that I left there in 1993. Had some fun years despite the corporate dysfunction and the run away egos that were in positions of power. Nonetheless, Atlanta was my second favorite city in which to live.

Jerry Lawler: I’m grateful that my friend is still alive. I’m hopeful that he wakes up every day realizing how lucky and blessed that he is to still be above ground.

Michael Cole: Pleased that our controversial storyline issues are behind us and that we’ve been able to collaborate in a productive manner. I sincerely enjoyed working with Michael while the King was on the mend and have the utmost respect for @MichaelCole. Hopefully we can do it again some day under better circumstances.

Steve Austin: We’ve remained our friendship through so much that has occurred in our personal and professional lives. In the wrestling business, long term friendships are challenging to maintain but we have. Hopefully, I will live to see Stone Cold wrestle one, last, big time match in his career and, if I’m lucky, I’ll be there to call it. Hey, a guy can dream, right? Steve Austin will always be known as WWE’s Greatest Superstar for a variety of reasons.
