The Teacher’s
REWIND
And what a RAW it was! The Champ was here – but so was the Miz! Michael Cole got personal with the King! Kharma made another appearance and R Truth got served!
Alberto Del Rio came out to start the show. He said that last week rather than wasting all that time on Rocky Maivia they should have celebrated the Raw arrival of Alberto Del Rio. Well, he’s got a point. But you already knew that. I think that the move to RAW will be great to Del Rio. Already he’s making an impact.
Kharma came out an interrupted another Divas wrestling match, destroying EVE TORRES. We spoke about this amazing beast many moons ago. Here’s some exclusive clip of Kharma wrestling around the world.
The Miz is still in the spotlight! The former WWE Champion got a big win over Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio in a No. 1 Contender’s Triple Threat Match with help from his apprentice Alex Riley. Now, Miz faces WWE Champion John Cena in an “I Quit” Match at Over the Limit.
Michael Cole vowed to retire from active competition so that Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler could never get his hands on Cole. Cole bit on a bit much more than he can chew, however, by berating the WWE Hall Of Famer Cole bit off more than he can chew.
As reported here, there’s a serious John Morrison injury that the former champion must attend to. The ‘Shaman of Sexy’ was treated by Dr. Joseph Maroon, the medical director of WWE. The doctor noticed immediate progress with regard to strength and decreased numbness in his arm in the recovery room.

This Week In Sports Entertainment – WWE & Wrestling News
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s a look at the most recent wrestling news that everyone is talking about!
CM Punk has been offered a new long-term WWE contract, but has not signed as of press time. Could he be leaving the company when his current contract expires in a few months?
A source close to WWE was quoted with the following;
“When you look at how the company brands it’s characters, Punk is never among the top 5-8 names that are promoted or pushed. It’s Cena, Orton, Miz, Undertaker, Rey, now Alberto, etc. these days and Punk is sort of floating right under there….”
He added...”He’s just there, doing his job and while everyone knows he delivers, he’s never really treated like someone who does. He’s never dropped the ball but we don’t give it to him really, either. He’s treated like a guy, but not THE guy.”
Many feel that WWE Diva Beth Pheonix has been drafted to RAW in an effort from the company to keep Punk happy, and have him sign the contract. CM Punk and Beth Pheonix are a couple, you know. Punk’s possible departure from WWE later this year has been one of the main topics of discussion behind the scenes this week. The two are reportedly a serious couple.
– Randy Orton commented on being drafted to SmackDown! on Twitter.
“Well it’s bittersweet for me to be drafted to Smackdown…I’ll miss monday nights, that’s for sure, but I think I could use the new setting.”
– Rey Mysterio commented on being drafted to on Twitter, too:
“Really hope everyone enjoyed the draft tonight! Gonna Rep Raw now! I’m gonna miss all my SmackDown FANS”! 1 luv & god bless to all! 619Out!”
Bret Hart’s speech on WWE Tough Enough was slightly edited with the terms ‘wrestling’ and ‘wrestlers’ being censored in his speech.
Are You TOUGH ENOUGH to join CASHCRATE?
The WWE Hall of Famer tweeted about his speech saying “The main points I said were to never hurt yourself or your opponent and to never forget the fan inside you that was sitting in the stands.”
In a somewhat related issue, — Daniel Bryan’s new shirt features the term “Submission Wrestling”. Perhaps it will be soon changed to “Submission Entertainment.” Kidding. But, seriously, it could happen.
Cody Rhodes recently spoke in an interview with Marvel.com, here are the highlights…
On Mysterio Dressing As Captain America For WM: For the most part, it was a complete surprise. I know he’d mentioned to some people that he had intentions of dressing up in comic book form this year and I had a lot of assumptions about who it could be, but I didn’t know he’d be Cap or that the costume would be so close… I’ve seen Rey in many costumes over the years, so I think it’s cool that all these years later I’m wrestling Captain America.
On His WM Ring Gear: Yeah, my jacket was supposed to be more Mister Sinister themed, but as the designer got to work on it, it became more “Assassin’s Creed” themed, which was also fine by me. At one point there was this huge diamond in the waistband but it was too much, a bit too close to the Sinister vibe. We could never get the jewel to work, but the diamond is still there in rough leather form if you look closely.
On His Mask: Well, here’s a little known fact, because in the world of entertainment things do get misconstrued: one thing that legitimately happened was my broken nose. It was a horrible thing that ended up being a great thing in terms of my career. I had an idea where I wanted to take it but I looked online and saw Rip Hamilton, from the Detroit Pistons. He had the exact mask I wanted—I even went to the same doctor who molded his and had it cast to my face, allowing you to still see my face without obscuring my features. It actually was much more clear when I started but WWE fogged it up a bit, which makes it look cool especially when the lights bounce off.
We love the Cody Rhodes mask.
Jim Ross may have suffered a legitimate broken hand at WWE Raw. JR wrote the following on Twitter:
Hand’s throbbing. Xrays tues. Cole’s tooth went to the bone on my fist. Not an artistic masterpiece. Dropping bombs. Leather straps sun. Ugh
Yes, Jim Ross is injured. The announcer with Bells Palsy! Ok then.
