Undertaker Update

WWE Superstar The Undertaker was recently spotted at a McDonald's with former WWE Superstar Chuck Palumbo. He signed autographs for customers and employees, just goes to show you that everyone is somewhat of a wrestling fan.

Anyway, what I find so interesting here is that he was talking with Palumbo. Now, the two have been said to be friends, but I think there is something deeper here.

As we all know Palumbo builds motorcycles, and also repairs them. Could Taker be getting some help on his hog for a possible American Badass return? It has been rumored.

He did cut his hair short, and while his hair could grow back by the time he returns in a few months, it is unlikely it will be able to grow back fast enough to work for his Deadman gimmick.

This is said to be Taker's last year, and the WWE does need him to come back to work as a main event face. We all know Taker probably won't be able to wrestle every week when he gets back.

While he could wrestle every week, it looks unlikely that he will, because they need him to stick around up until Wrestlemania. Also, his body would not be able to handle wrestling every single week anyway. He has a lighter schedule, so it wouldn't make sense for him to wrestle from August or September to April.

This is why I think it is possible that he will do the Badass gimmick again, because while he cannot wrestle every week, he can talk. Also, he has been out for a while, so people won't think it is weird to see him be a Deadman one day and a Badass the next.

When this gimmick first started, Taker was out for a little while like he is now. When he came back he has totally different entrance music and came out on a motorcycle. This means he can easily do the same thing.

So, don't count out seeing Taker back with his old Badass gimmick.

 

Smackdown vs RAW 2010

As we all know, the WWE releases a video game every year around November called SmackDown vs RAW. Well, there was a little bit released about the game recently.

It is said to have more freedom than all the rest, along with more superstars than ever before. THQ, the makers of the game also said that more will be released around Summerslam time, which would be August.

They already have the artwork for the cover, which you can see here.

Small 411

It has been said that the WWE has asked new WWE Diva Rosa Mendes to lose weight. I personally think she is fine, she does not need to be a twig like Sable, Stacy Kiebler, and others. As a matter of fact, Beth Phoenix is actually bigger than she is. So, I think the WWE needs to realize they are being incredibly stupid here.

Former WWE Diva Chyna recently signed a record deal with Virgin Records. Now, I have heard her sing, and I would rather hear Jillian Hall, I'm just saying.

Former TNA star Lance Hoyt, is now under a WWE developmental deal. He is now going by the name Lance Archer, due to WWE changing names to obtain copyright ownership.

 

That is all for the 411, come back next time for more news and notes regarding wrestling.
