THE ROCK TO HELP INTRODUCE WRESTLEMANIA 29 TO THE MASSES
In addition to being the biggest star at this year's WrestleMania, it appears that The Rock will be making his presence felt in New Jersey later on today when WWE announces that WrestleMania 29 will take place at MetLife Stadium.
Question on Everybody's Mind: What does this mean for The Rock's wrestling future?
Our Take: Considering how much fun he has been telling everyone his current WWE run is, and the fact he can show up whenever he wants, he should keep doing this if the matches are right. WrestleMania is when the stars show up, so let's hope this is a sign the Great One will appear next year too.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Freezing Cold WrestleManias
As great as it to know that The Rock will be supporting the WrestleMania 29 announcement, you have to wonder about WWE's decision to hold its biggest show of the year in an outdoor stadium in early-April.

TRIPLE H WANTS TO BURY TALENT IN TWO LANGUAGES
Despite being locked in a battle with the Undertaker over what to do at WrestleMania, Triple H still has to make big decisions that will determine the future direction of WWE. His latest directive is to get more Spanish-speaking wrestlers on the roster.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Will WWE start to bring in more Lucha wrestlers?
Our Take: My guess would be no, just because the company is probably down on them after the whole Sin Cara situation. The product would be better with a wider variety of wrestlers, as opposed to stars who basically look the same.
Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 Ways to Bury the Roster
Hearing that Triple H wanted to integrate more Spanish-speaking stars on the roster immediately led me to believe he had run out of ways to destroy the current roster in English. He did an excellent job of doing that on Monday night.

R-TRUTH'S "LITTLE JIMMIES" WERE CREATED BY TRIPLE H
In case you were wondering who came up with the idea to have R-Truth act like a psycho who talks to invisibly "Little Jimmies," you can thank Triple H (who else?).
Question on Everybody's Mind: Does Triple H not want anyone to take Truth seriously?
Our Take: Of course not, because that would require him getting behind someone to make them into something besides a dork. We just went over what Triple H really thinks of the roster. Don't you remember?

As entertaining as Truth's character is when he opens his mouth, there is only a certain amount of time you can do that before it stops working. When the fans turn on him—not that they were going nuts over him right now—he will have nothing to do.

ALBERTO DEL RIO CAN'T GET ANY RESPECT
Like Rodney Dangerfield before him, Alberto Del Rio is reportedly not liked by a lot of people backstage because he thinks he is a big star. You know, because carrying yourself like you matter is the worst possible thing one can do.
Question on Everybody's Mind: How much does the WWE locker room suck?
Our Take: Unless you are someone like John Cena, it has to be pretty bad. Unless you are willing to get on your knees and join that special club Triple H wanted John Lauriniaitis to become a member of three weeks ago, you are going to get heat from everyone.
Hype Meter: 3 out of 5 White Towels
Fellow wrestlers are mad at Del Rio for thinking he is a star. How petty and sophomoric can these people get? Just go out, do your job and shut up about how someone walks around backstage. Things will be much easier for everyone.

CHYNA DOES WRESTLING PORN
Just when you thought there was nowhere left for the adult film industry to go, here comes Chyna to save the day. The former WWE diva is the focus of a new "movie" with wrestlers being parodied.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Who will play Triple H?
Our Take: That is one of those great mysteries you can figure out on your own. If this was some kind of twisted autobiography, he would play a prominent role in the film. Sadly, I don't think this will be the plot of the film.

It's good to see that after so many years of throwing her life away on alcohol and drugs, Chyna has finally found a stable job that she can make money in. She's going to make it after all.
