WWE Rumors: Mick Foley, Steve Austin, John Cena and Thursday's Top WWE News

After two days of live television shows, WWE took a break to let us catch our breath. That does not mean that there is not plenty to talk about, including the company dropping the hammer on some fake Twitter accounts of their talent. 

While the television this week was good—well, Raw was at least and the end of SmackDown—the fact that there has been no build whatsoever for the TLC pay-per-view is mind-boggling. They have announced one match between Mark Henry and Big Show for the world title because it was so good last time. 

We will have all the latest news, notes and information from the world of professional wrestling. As always, if you agree or disagree or just have something you want to vent about, leave us a comment. 

VINCE MCMAHON WANTS TO STOP "CRANKY VINCE" FROM TWEETING

For those of you that are on Twitter, one of the best wrestling parodies that I can recommend is "Cranky Vince." It's random musings from the mind of a fake Vince McMahon and now the real Vinny Mac wants to bring down that account. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Are we really sure that "Cranky Vince" isn't really Vince McMahon?

Our Take: It's uncanny how much the Twitter account nails Vince's tone, so I wouldn't be surprised. The new Twitter initiative in WWE is bringing an end to all the fun parody accounts that other people have set up.

It is amazing how much fun WWE doesn't want fans to have, especially considering that wrestling is supposed to be fun. But when you have people in charge that take themselves way too seriously, this is what happens.

MICK FOLEY TRIES TO CONFUSE PEOPLE ABOUT A POSSIBLE IN-RING RETURN

Earlier this week, I speculated that Foley would be returning to the ring at WrestleMania 28 to take on The Undertaker. There was no basis for the argument, other than a report that Taker's match is set and it's big. Foley was asked about returning to wrestle in an interview on Monday night and basically said possibly or not at all. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Is Foley just trying to throw us off the scent?

Our Take: While it would be foolish to expect a full-time return to the ring, there is no reason to believe that he won't work one match. With WWE pulling out all the stops for WrestleMania this year, it would make sense to put him on that show. Undertaker is a good opponent because of their history back in the '90s.

It is impossible not to like Foley, though if you have seen what WWE is doing with him right now it becomes a bit easier to mix in a boo with all those cheers. Still, a potential match with Undertaker would be able to pique the interest of the older fans that have tuned out in recent years.

"STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN GETS THE GO AHEAD FOR ANOTHER MATCH FROM JIM ROSS

Fans have been waiting (im)patiently for years to see The Rattlesnake step back into the ring for one more match. There was some hope that it would be at WrestleMania 28, though that doesn't make much sense with The Rock already on the card. Still, Austin's BFF, Jim Ross, believes there is still some gas left in Austin's tank. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: So is Austin coming back or not?

Our Take: Timing is everything, and WrestleMania 28 is not the right time. Considering how much Austin has talked about having "one more match" left in him, don't be surprised if it happens in 2013 when he can be the main event, as he should.

There are very few wrestlers that have had the mainstream appeal of Austin, so to even be talking about him working one more match is enough to get us excited. A WrestleMania 29 match with CM Punk—who has made no secret that he wants to work with Austin—would be epic.

MARK HENRY IS THE BEST BABYFACE ON SMACKDOWN

"Mark Henry is a heel, that's dumb," says the casual observer. But is he really? Look at his feud with Daniel Bryan. Henry was the courageous champion, risking his health to defend the belt on a live SmackDown. Meanwhile, Bryan has been acting like a heel, kicking Henry's leg out from under him and running away. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Why would WWE do anything to make Henry look like a babyface?

Our Take: Because Vince McMahon is under the impression that everything that is good with his product has to change. He is right, too. Henry absolutely sucks as a heel, and the fans are just itching to cheer for him. Right...

WWE has tried Henry as a babyface before and it was a disaster. It took the company 15 years to find a gimmick for him that actually works, and the monster heel is working really well. There is no logical reason to turn Henry or even tease a turn because that will only hurt his momentum.

YOUR DAILY JOHN CENA HEEL TURN UPDATE

Cena is the most polarizing star in the company today. To some, he is the best in the business and can do no wrong. To others, he has been terrible for business because of his inability to take anything seriously and a lack of talent in the ring. There has been a call to turn him heel for years, though the company is so scared to pull the trigger on a turn for business reasons. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Why does Cena have to turn heel?

Our Take: Truthfully, you could make a case he is a heel right now and just doesn't realize it. He is someone who has selective hearing. Instead of hearing "boos" when he walks out, he hears the people chanting "you" because they are so happy to see him.

No one topic in WWE today brings out as much passion as the idea of a Cena heel turn. Some think it is the best thing that could happen to him and business. Others are so in love with the Rainbow Warrior that the words "Cena" and "heel" in the same sentence throws them over the edge.
