WWE Godfather

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that the Godfather will be making another appearance soon.

According to the Godfather, he will be making another appearance in WWE soon. The Godfather, whose real name is Charles Wright, is currently the general manager of a strip club in Las Vegas called Cheetahs.

In a recent interview, the Godfather had the following to say.

“Every so often, they’ll call me and see if I can make an appearance. If I can, I will. But it depends on where it is and what else I have going on. I’m doing one soon, but that’s because it’s in a city where I can visit (some family). Otherwise, if I can avoid being on a plane, I will.”

 

Just for research purposes, the staff at WrestlingRevealed.com will be sure to visit Cheetahs a couple of times when we head out to Las Vegas in a few days for a business trip. Purely for research, folks. We’re doing this for you.

WWE Royal Rumble

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that WWE will be giving the wrestlers the weekend off this week.

It’s good timing for the wrestlers since this is a pretty eventful weekend. Brock Lesnar will be making his UFC debut on Saturday night. The Super Bowl is on Sunday afternoon.

The Raw wrestlers get back to work on Monday, and it’ll be double duty. With the crew flying over to Japan for a few shows in a few days, WWE will be taping two episodes of Monday Night Raw this week in Austin, Texas.

There were talks of taping Monday Night Raw in Japan, but the cost associated with that was not something management wanted to deal with.

WWE Royal Rumble

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that WWE has been charging a fortunate for sports bars to show their pay per views.

According to reports, sports bars and clubs are now being charged by the square foot to show WWE pay per views to their patrons. Depending on the size of the venue, it could cost upwards of $5,000 to show the pay per views. That’s a high price to pay, especially considering how interest in wrestling is pretty low right now.

The UFC, on the other hand, is charging less than $1,000 for their pay per views. UFC has a higher viewership than wrestling right now, so the majority of places are opting to show UFC to their patrons.

WWE has always been great at producing graphics, whether it be for their television shows, pay per views, or magazines. The latest issue of WWE magazine is no different. The front cover is an awesome picture of Jeff Hardy being chained up underwater.

Shawn Michaels

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that WWE management does have several concerns over switching to high definition.

The concern coming from WWE is that the clearer pictures and sounds of high definition will expose the business a bit. There are those that believe that the matches will appear a bit “faker” with the upgrade in sight and sound.

There’s also a fear that older wrestlers such as Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair will look less appealing as well. Plus, there’s even a few people who are afraid that the divas will look less appealing under high definition TV.

WWE has really been doing a superb job with their new t-shirts. They’ve switched to a new design that features a lot of brush patterns as opposed to the colorful style that they used to utilize. As always, Shawn Michaels is one of the first guys to get merchandise made for him. His new t-shirt looks awesome.

WWE Raw

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that WWE is currently working out plans for new sets for Monday Night Raw, Smackdown, and ECW.

With WWE now being broadcast in high definition, it’s a good time to launch some new looks. New stage sets also give the shows a bit of a boost because things don’t feel as stale.

Right now, it’s not clear which shows will get new sets. The best bet is that Monday Night Raw gets a stage change for sure.

Randy Orton

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that WWE will only test the superstars once a year for marijuana.

If a wrestler is caught doing drugs, then they pay a $1,000 fine. However, it does not count as a strike with the WWE Wellness Program.

That basically means that if a wrestler wants to smoke marijuana, all he has to do is pay $1,000. They don’t even have to worry about being fired for it.

That’s good news for all of us Rob Van Dam fans. If every fan gave up $1, we can write a check to WWE for the violation. That way, we can get one of our favorite superstars back.

Jeff Jarrett

In the “15 years of Raw” special magazine that was released by WWE a couple of days ago, they had a list of reasons why WCW Nitro failed.

  1. David Arquette
  2. Misfits in Action (Chavo Guerrero, Booker T, the Wall, Hugh Morrus, Lash LeRoux, Major Gunns, and Van Hammer)
  3. One Warrior Nation (Ultimate Warrior and Brutus Beefcake)
  4. Disco Inferno
  5. Steve “Mongo” McMichaels
  6. New Blood vs Millionaires
  7. “Crazy” Ric Flair
  8. The Magnificent Seven (Ric Flair, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, and Road Warrior Animal)
  9. Finger Poke of Doom
  10. Matches in the Mall of America
  11. Vince Russo in the Pope Mobile
  12. Chavo Guerrero & Pepe
  13. Anti-American Jim Duggan
  14. nWo 2000
  15. Tony Schiavone

Analysis

There’s a lot of reasons why WCW failed. A lot of those reasons aren’t on the list. This list is basically just to take shots at certain people. If you really look at it, it’s somewhat hypocritical.

David Arquette was no worse than Kevin Federline. The only difference was that WWE was smart enough not to put the title on him. He still feuded with the top star in WWE, though.

The Misfits in Action were a good stable. There was plenty of talent in there with Booker T, Chavo Guerrero, Lash LeRoux, and Hugh Morrus. All were good workers.

Turning Jim Duggan into an anti-American heel was a risk. It was either going to work out or be a bust. It ended up being a bust. Of course, WWE is still using Jim Duggan to this day. He even went over cleanly on a younger talent in Daivari, who ended up leaving the company because he felt he wasn’t being used properly.

The Magnificent Seven consisted of 2 guys (Lex Luger and Jeff Jarrett) who Vince McMahon still holds a personal grudge against. That’s self explanatory.

The storyline between the New Blood and the Millionaires was actually pretty good. It’s a wonderful concept. Think about it, a group of established veterans feuding with fresh faces looking to establish themselves. Ring a bell?

“Crazy” Ric Flair had some classic comedic moments, both in WCW and WWE.

Wonder if WWE hated the Chavo Guerrero/Pepe thing because they’re so against midcard wrestlers being paired up with cleaning supplies such as a mop or a broom.

The matches in the Mall of America were actually a pretty cool. Plus, it was during the early stages of Nitro. It had absolutely nothing to do with the company shutting down years later.

nWo 2000 was better than nWo WWE. Bret Hart, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Jeff Jarrett were at least an elite group and not watered down.

The rest of the things on the list were pretty lame, though.
