Welcome to an all new Joe's 411: B/R Pro-Wrestling News, I have some news here that you need to know, so why don't we get started?
Trump Storyline
As we saw on Monday Night RAW, Donald Trump sold RAW back to Vince McMahon for double the price he paid for it. The issue was that we all thought it was going to be longer than a week.
The real reason why it didn't last was because the WWE got in trouble with the law. It was said to have broken the financial securities law when it announced in a press release from USA Network that Trump actually bought RAW.
The idiots on Wall Street thought it was fact, and sold some of their stock, about 12 percent worth from what reports say.
The WWE felt it had to let them know by ending the Trump storyline on RAW this past week. However, it was good to see that the commercial-free RAW actually helped RAW's ratings. It averaged a 4.6, and it was as high as 4.81 from what reports say.
So USA Network didn't lose by doing this naturally. If it wants to do it again, it at least knows it will work now. I could see the network doing it once a month, or every other month, if it wanted.
I personally liked RAW this past week, up until the time Trump sold RAW back to Vince. Trump talked about a lot of cool things he was going to do on RAW, then we saw Vince come out and buy back RAW. It was so good up until then; what a shame to end things.
Maybe its not over. Vince and Trump could still be involved in something together storyline-wise. We will have to wait until RAW to see for sure, but it seems like something could happen by what Vince said to Trump on RAW.
Mr. Kennedy...Kennedy in more Movies?
Ken Anderson, known as Mr. Kennedy, who was recently released by the WWE, has apparently been saying he's up for some movie roles.
He posted on Twitter: "secondpower: Reading through 2 (two) different scripts and working on a new website!"
Kennedy actually showed a good performance in Behind Enemy Lines 3. It didn't make too much in sales, as it went straight to DVD. Movies that go straight to DVD usually don't make tons of money.
People who did see Kennedy in BEL 3 know he did well in it. The issue was that it was his only movie; however, he did well in the WWE acting-wise, too. So people know his work from WWE.
People who criticize Kennedy usually talk about his wrestling skills, and of course, his "injury prone" past. But I haven't seen anyone criticize Kennedy for mic skills. They all know he is good on the mic and can act.
So hopefully he can get a good role, at least one that ends up in theaters this time.
WWE Releases
As I reported in the last 411, some wrestlers have been quietly putting people on a watch list. This watch list is one that has some WWE wrestlers on it, and no one really wants it to get out.
However, because this is the 411 and I try to get some of the latest news to you guys, I have gotten to know some insiders. These people know what goes on inside the company, and are letting me in on a few things. Their names cannot be released, however they have given me the names on this "watch list".
Now, here is the list
Vladimir Kozlov
Mike Knox
Kung Fu Naki
