Welcome to an all new Joe's 411: B/R Pro-Wrestling News, Independence Day edition. While all of you non-Americans have a normal day, we Americans will be celebrating our Independence from England, like we do every year on July 4.
We have a lot to get to, from John Morrison to Torrie Wilson News. So why don't we get started, eh?
Torrie Wilson Update
It seems that Torrie Wilson is very frustrated by the WWE. In a recent interview with the Baltimore Sun, she mentioned she was embarrassed at Wrestlemania. Take a look at what she had to say:
“I’m very mad at myself and embarrassed that I agreed to be a part of something like that. A lot of people in the audience didn’t even know that I was in that match because they didn’t even announce it.
For me, that whole experience at WrestleMania was kind of like closure. I feel like maybe I’m not appreciated like I would have hoped. They just wanted all these girls there. Now I can understand why Trish [Stratus] decided not to do it; she was smart.
"Going into it I trusted them that they would use me in the right way and I should have known better. All in all, I learned a valuable lesson.”
We all saw the abomination called the 25-Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania. They had Santina come in and touch no one until the end when he/she pushed Beth Phoenix out. Torrie was hotter than ever, and they didn't take advantage of that?
I mean not announcing her was terrible enough, and you have her go out and basically be just another diva out there? Like she said, she put in years of work there. That is no way to repay one of the most popular WWE Divas of all time.
I feel Trish was smart myself, she knew the WWE had something planned. So, she asked them what they were going to do, and because she knew before commiting, she declined.
When she was asked in the same interview about doing something else with the WWE, she responded by saying this:
"I do. I just didn’t appreciate that experience and I felt very unappreciated after all of the years that I put in for them.
You combine that with the fact that I asked them to do a little thing on wwe.com to ‘vote for Torrie’ (for the reality game show "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!") and they just ignored me. So, my feelings are hurt.”
Who can blame her? I mean when you are basically shunned away after being apart of the WWE for some time, then that is just wrong. They could have supported their former Diva by putting up a "vote for Torrie" thing on the site.
But no, they decided to ignore her, why? She did the stupid battle royal, she worked in the WWE for years, why not repay her in the slightest bit by putting that up?
In any case, Torrie is obviously unhappy. I can't say I blame her.
Fox wants Wrestling!
It seems that FX Network, which is owned by Fox obviously, really thinks highly of wrestling. BroadcastingAndCable.com is reporting how Fox wants to viable ratings competition for the USA Network and TNT.
The articles states that they know without getting pro wrestling or a sports league, they won’t ever be able to compete.
TNT really doesn't have wrestling anymore, of course WCW was there in the past, but they are no longer there of course.
