The Dwight Howard three-team trade involving the Magic, Lakers and Cavaliers is a complex deal with several lynchpins and obstacles that could lead to the talks breaking down at any moment. The Cavs are a sought-after facilitator of a Howard trade because of their wealth of draft picks and cap space. It's why they initially surfaced in a rumored three-team deal involving the Nets, with Kris Humphries landing in Cleveland in that scenario.
The rumored deal with the Lakers, however, would send an extremely valuable asset to Cleveland in the form of franchise center Andrew Bynum. But he Los Angeles big man is in the final year of his deal, and the Cavs, as you would expect, need assurances that he would re-sign in Cleveland after the 2012-13 season. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Cavs are ready to be the third team but would need that guarantee of an extension:
The Cleveland Cavaliers are eager partners in the three-way blockbuster trade talks to send Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, but won't proceed until the Lakers grant the them permission to talk to All-Star Andrew Bynum and his agent about the center's willingness to sign a contract extension, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
"Cleveland will only do the deal if Bynum extends," a league official directly involved in the talks told Yahoo! Sports.
Bynum's agent, David Lee, recently returned from an Alaskan vacation and reportedly has not had any contact with the Cavaliers.
Wojnarwoski also reports that the Lakers want the framework of the deal in place before they allow the Cavs to talk about an extension with Bynum. Los Angeles, on the other hand, is confident that they can sell Howard on the merits of re-signing and staying on past the 2012-13 season.
Orlando, the third and final team in the deal, has shown "indecisiveness" in the three-team talks.

Shop shut for selling alcohol to children
An off-licence in North Yorkshire is to be temporarily closed down by trading standards officers for 'persistently' selling alcohol to children.
A two-day closure on the Wine Box in Stokesley was imposed by North Yorkshire County Council after it was found that alcohol was sold illegally twice in a two month period.
Recent changes to the Licensing Act mean trading standards officers and police now have the power to stop the sale of alcohol for up 14 days.
The licence holder at Wine Box, Claire Foster, has accepted the notice as an alternative to being prosecuted.
– Chris Metcalfe, Executive Member for Trading Standards
The closure notice is designed to be a quick and effective response in the circumstances where licensed premises have persistently sold alcohol to underage children.
Measures to stop children obtaining alcohol are crucial to prevent addiction from a young age with all the consequent health, social and emotional issues.
Our trading standards officers have now worked with this licensee to put measures in place to stop any further underage sales from these premises.
Although a closure notice may seem draconian, the alternative is prosecution, thereby risking a fine of up to £20,000.

In their graves near the old country church
And sometime I may rest, with the friends I love best
In a grave near the old country church.
– "The Old Country Church"
BURNWELL – The rural church that gave birth to the Happy Goodman Family celebrated its homecoming and Decoration Day on Sunday, June 1.
Tanya Goodman Sykes, daughter of singer/songwriter Rusty Goodman, and her husband, Michael, revived some familiar hymns as well as Goodman classics for the crowd that gathered at Bible Church of God.
Kris Goodman, son of Sam Goodman and pastor of Victory Church in Madisonville, Kentucky, delivered a sermon on the inviting heart of God.
The widows of Rusty and Sam Goodman were also in attendance.
"We have sung in cathedrals, in Israel and in concert halls around the world, but there is something special about coming here. I always get sentimental because even though I didn't grow up here, it just feels like home," Sykes said.
The eight Goodman siblings – Rusty, Sam, Howard, Bobby, Gussie Mae, Stella, Eloise and Ruth – were raised approximately a mile from the church. In their youth, they attended what was then known as the Original Church of God.
After gaining worldwide fame, the Goodmans returned to Burnwell each year for Decoration Day. The service had to be held on the grounds rather than inside the church because hundreds of people would come out to hear the group sing.
"They were the happiest bunch you have ever been around. You wouldn't believe how happy," said Dan Nix, a first cousin of the Goodmans through his mother.
The eldest child, Howard, felt a call to preach when he was 15 years old. His first revival was held in 1939 in Carbon Hill.
Although the family could not afford formal music training, Howard Goodman practiced on church pianos throughout the county. He would later be famous for flailing his arms up and down while pounding the piano keys on the Goodmans' signature up-tempo tunes.
Goodman organized his musically-talented siblings into the Happy Goodman Family in the 1940s.
The version of the group that gained the most popularity was formed in the mid 1960s with brothers Howard, Sam, Rusty and Bob along with Howard's wife, Vestal.
Their album "The Happy Gospel of The Happy Goodmans" won a Grammy in 1968. They earned a second Grammy 10 years later.
Rusty Goodman penned many of the Goodmans' biggest hits, including "I Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now," "Leavin' on My Mind" and "I Believe He's Coming Back."
Goodman died in 1990 of cancer. In 1997, he became the first of his family to be inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Vestal and Howard followed in 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Rusty Goodman is buried in the cemetery near Bible Church of God along with four of his siblings and their parents, Drew Sam and Gussie Mae Goodman.
Although the Goodmans lived all over the United States throughout their career, Sykes said there was never a question where her father's final resting place would be.
"They always had a kinship with this place. They had a real affinity for the red clay of Alabama. This was where they grew up, where they found their faith and where they started singing," Sykes said.
Sykes has fond memories of her family making the trek to Alabama each summer when she was a child, and she continued the tradition with her own daughters.
"Once they got old enough to understand funerals and cemeteries, I wanted them to understand the sweetness in it and not to be scared," Sykes said. "So I borrowed from Disney and talked to them about how this is part of the circle of life. Poppy, their granddad, is buried here, and now he is in heaven. One day we'll be in heaven and then our children will be here thinking about us."
According to a 2012 Baptist Press article, Southern families have been gathering in the late spring or early summer to honor their dead loved ones since before the Civil War.
"Southern Christians…tended to reject the autumn observances of remembering the Christian dead that focused on All Saints Day or All Souls Day (Nov. 1 and 2) as practiced by some faith denominations. Instead, they placed Decoration Day in the late spring at a time that nature itself symbolized resurrection," the article stated.
Typical activities include cleaning up the church cemetery, placing fresh flowers on the graves, the return of family and church members who have moved away from the area and a dinner on the grounds.
Nix said he recently read an article that explained why Decoration Day is no longer as widespread an observance as it once was in the South.
"The people who go to decorations are the ones who believe in the resurrection of the body and everlasting life. Modern generations don't believe in that. They want closure, to bury them and forget them," Nix said.
During his sermon, Kris Goodman noted that the afterlife has always been at the forefront of the minds of his family members.
"The Goodmans knew there was a heaven. They wanted to go there and they wanted everybody to go with them," he said.

Vikings Must Stick With Christian Ponder
Minnesota Vikings: Must Stick With QB Christian Ponder

Vikings Must Stick With Christian Ponder
Minnesota Vikings: Must Stick With QB Christian Ponder
Yeah the Vikings must stick with Ponder if they want to have another losing season. Russel Wilson is 10 times the QB that Ponder is. This team needs a completely new direction, and by that I mean a completely new coaching staff, a completely new system on both offense and defense. They need a new QB, and desperately need more offensive weapons, especially at WR where Harvin is the only f'n threat. How did this team not make a trade this year? Frazier said he liked the team he has? That right there is worth losing your job over. This team is just to predictable, and its f'n old already. This team is just a joke, and they deserve to lose the rest of the season. All I know is I won't support this team another second until serious changes are made. I am sick and tired of the direction of this team. Stop wasting high draft picks on players like Ponder, and get a coaching staff that can actually coach, and make adjustments. I sincerely feel sorry for AD, arguably the best RB of all time, and he is left to rot away on arguably the biggest choking franchise in NFL history. Pretty pathetic, and a complete waste of talent.
How can someone as stupid as Ponder is on the field have a double major in college? I for one wish he would quit football and go into a career in whatever he went to college for. He is not a leader, he is a f'n joke. After this game, the Vikings will be on their way to their rightful spot, last in the division. This team is a joke, if I were Harvin and Peterson, I would be demanding a trade. They can't stop anyone, they are so f'n useless. Now the Seahawks are about to put thus game away. Way to blow another one you bunch of pathetic ass losers.
Lol, love it. When you have a retarded QB, and a sorry ass excuse for a head coach, this is what you can expect. Now they are just one step closer to firing that useless Frazier, and Ponder will be history. All I know is after 25 years of being a fan of this team, I am about to throw in the towel and turn my back on them. I dontsupport losers, and demand more from a te am that I have supported for most of my life. Now Harvin goes down, and for what? Why does a player like that have to be injured playing for a worthless waste of space franchise like this? God, these guys deserve more than this. Maybe if the rest of this useless fucking team had half the talent and passion that Peterson and Harvin have, maybe they would be good. Now they get a gift 3 points, and they still won't do a damn thing in this one.
Ha ha, 57 yards passing the entire game for Ponder. Come on people, that is not a coincidence, he has had poor numbers the last 3-4 weeks. The guy sucks. He started the season fine, but teams made adjustments, and he hasn't. That is the sign of a piss poor QB, and the sign of a puss poor coaching staff. He is not a franchise QB, he is a loser. He is not the answer for this team, and neither is Frazier. They both need to go, and quickly. If they are back next season, I am done with this team. I am done supporting a team that just doesn't get it. This team is the biggest choking franchise in the history of the game, and they never make smart decisions on coaching and personnel. I'm done.
Yeah, granted this Seattle's secondary is very good, Ponder is just looking terrible as of late. The guy is a scared bitch out there and has no mustard on his throws. It appears Percy is already pissed at em and that angry is trending toward Rudolph too. I mean Rudolph is still getting shit for targets and has all the tools a Gronk has--WTF!?
How's about mixing in a Screen play now and again? I'm an Army Tanker. I'm stupid. I have trouble when I have to mix in a comma, or add up spare change at the checkout counter. :) Look, the team was always back on it's heels on 3rd down. How do you fix that? Slow down a rush? Screens, draws, delays. Musgrave is incapable of calling a f*cking screen. I cheered when I saw one...Too bad it was the Seahawks runnin it. Ponder has shown he can play. He has. I believe he is being "exposed," through shiiit play calling and a complete lack of sense when it comes to contingency plays like the screen. Like I said, Im dumb, but f*ck, even I saw that a screen play could take the pressure off of Ponder on 3rd down.
Wilson looked way better than Ponder today. He was more poised, didn't get happy feet, and made better decisions. Look how bad Ponder missed his receivers even when he had time to throw. It was pathetic. Ponder isn't the answer and I hate the thought that we're going to have to waste another 2 years on this Frazier/Ponder experiment. We're stuck in another Chiller/Tjoke nightmare.
Play calling is usually:
-bootleg to NOWHERE
-run up the gut
-bubble screen

Residents unhappy with gas pipeline routeBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | January 13,2013MONKTON Tensions were high, but Monkton residents remained calm as they voiced their growing displeasure with the proposed natural gas pipeline expansion project that could run through the middle of town.
My well will be impacted; its directly in the path of the pipeline, said resident Mike Bayer. We get nothing. We dont get the benefits to lower fuel costs. That is a giant problem. You will make a lot of damage to a lot of people to make money somewhere else.
Upwards of 80 people gathered at the Monkton fire station Thursday night to meet with representatives from Vermont Gas Systems in a meeting that company officials hope will start the dialogue to resolve issues.
I want to start off on the right note, said Stephen Wark, director of communications with the company. I want to apologize. We have come up with a situation that has not worked for Monkton.
The Burlington-based company has proposed laying a gas pipeline through several towns in Chittenden and Addison counties. The $72 million project, known as the Addison Natural Gas Project, would connect the pipeline that enters Vermont at Highgate and extend it south to Middlebury and eventually Rutland.
The pipeline will also enable the company to provide more than half of the gas to International Paper Co., in Ticonderoga, N.Y.
The company initially intended to use the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) right-of-way corridor, but now alternate routes may be used that include going through town. This did not sit well with residents.
I am appalled by your lack of sensitivity to the impact youre going to bring, one resident told company officials at the meeting.
Though some residents seemed to appreciate the companys apology, others felt it was already too late in the game especially since the project was filed with the Public Service Board last month.
Monkton resident Renee McGuinness went so far as serving Vermont Gas with a series of notices of no trespass from several residents.
These notices against trespass are our statement that were not willing to cooperate until you move the route, she said. Vermont Gas has not shown any consideration or respect.
Vermont Gas is also facing resistance from residents in Hinesburg, who also do not want the pipeline close to their homes, schools or drinking water wells, and want another alternative route, whether in the town or bypassing the town.
Elsewhere, other municipalities have shown their support for the pipelines expansion. Last month Middlebury officials signed a letter supporting the project that, according to the company, would save approximately 2,100 eligible residential and business customers in Middlebury a combined $5 million per year on fuel oil.
In Rutland City, the Board of Aldermen are considering a resolution in support of the project.
I think it would bring huge benefits to the city and the area, said Mayor Christopher Louras, who proposed the resolution Monday. We could create jobs and retain jobs if its here.
He added, Its important that we sign on with a letter of support to the Public Service Board.
At the end of Thursdays meeting in Monkton, Don Gilbert, president and CEO of Vermont Gas Systems, said he found the public meeting to be helpful and apologized to residents for his companys apparent lack of communication.
We needed to hear this. We made a mistake in this case, he said. We want to work with you. We are committed to working with you.
Gilbert said the company is meeting with state regulators later this month to discuss rerouting the project and hopes to have representatives from Monkton at the table.
We need your help, he said.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

Cooperstown Crier
---- — It's a bit farther than a trip around the bases, but the Hall of Fame's second annual BASE Race is sure to produce a home run for road racing fans in Central New York, according to organizers.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, along with Cooperstown's Clark Sports Center, will present the second annual BASE Race 5k and 10k charity runs on Sunday, Aug. 11, in Cooperstown. The BASE Race debuted in 2012 as more than 300 runners participated in the event, which promotes healthy lifestyle choices for individuals of all ages.
The BASE Race includes a family-style 5k and a competitive 10k, with both races starting and ending at Cooperstown's Clark Sports Center. Race times are 8 a.m. for the 10k and 8:15 a.m. for the 5k. Registration is available online at www.baseballhall.org/BASERace.
Those who pre-register for the event will be able to pick up race materials all day on Saturday, Aug. 10, from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. at the museum in Cooperstown, and the race bib from the BASE Race will grant the bearer free admission to the Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 10.
Both the 10k and 5k courses will take runners through scenic Cooperstown, with prizes awarded in multiple categories in both races. The challenging 10k takes runners through the rolling hills of the greater Cooperstown area, and the 5k course brings participants past the Hall of Fame.
Raffles and other prizes will be awarded throughout the event. Registration is $25 for adults and $50 for families until race day, when registration will be $40 for individuals and $65 for families. Additional details are available by calling the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at 547-0397 or the Clark Sports Center at 547-2800.
Proceeds from the BASE Race support outreach for the "Be A Superior Example" program, the Hall of Fame's educational initiative that promotes the concepts of healthy lifestyle choices to a worldwide audience, educating students about the dangers of performance-enhancing substances. Complete information of the BASE program is available through a comprehensive white paper, featuring detailed data on the use of performance-enhancing substances and the fundraising objectives of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, online at www.baseballhall.org/BASE.

An article published this week on NPR.org juxtaposes the economic and social disparity between Bridgeport and Greenwich, and uses the comparison to argue that the American dream is a pie in the sky for most Americans.
Whereas many household incomes in towns like affluent Greenwich have soared in the past four decades, the average paycheck in communities like Bridgeport has barely grown, widening an opportunity gap that makes the rags-to-riches story a fantasy for many, the article states.
"Put simply, in today's America, the children of the rich will very likely get richer, poor kids will probably remain so, and those in the vast middle class will be challenged, even in two-income households, to just tread water," the article argues.
The December 2012 unemployment rate in Bridgeport was 11.7 percent, more than double that of Greenwich (5.4 percent) for the same month, according to statistics from the Connecticut Department of Labor. The national unemployment rate in December came in at 7.8 percent.
Bridgeport, a city plagued by nightly gunfire, abandoned buildings and graffiti scarred public housing, "is a world away from the half-dozen other affluent communities that line the Connecticut shoreline," including Greenwich, the article states.
That variance has led to a "profound alienation between residents of [Bridgeport] and the towns around it," the article argues. "The idea that Greenwich residents should feel somehow responsible, or even concerned, about the plight of 145,000 people in Bridgeport strikes many as odd -- if not absurd."
"I don't think of it at all," Karen Schiff told NPR as she left the Greenwich train station after a workday in New York. "I don't think I've ever even met someone from there. Maybe I drove through, I don't know."

Top 2013 NFL free agents (defense): Even aging, pass rushers get paid

You can never have too many pass rushers, right? That is what they say.
And, despite it being such a position of need around the league, there are some candidates worthy of free-agent dollars. Many of them are getting a little older -- Dwight Freeney and Richard Seymour come to mind -- but I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of them ended up having another impact season or two left.
Brian Urlacher might be a Hall of Famer, but the Bears aren't making it sound as if he will be back, and I'm not sure others will clamor for him, with linebacker being a position where teams generally won't invest heavily these days. Shaun Phillips showed he could get to the quarterback in years past for the Chargers, though at age 31 some will think twice about giving him a big payday now.
Time will tell that some of these guys are probably done and will falter. That is the nature of this game. But there is still sufficient star power on defense, specifically among the pass rushers, to carry interest on this side of the ball.
Matt Shaughnessy has had some big games for the Raiders, and he is at the other end of the spectrum at 25 years old. But Oakland has had its share of budget and cap issues in recent years. Connor Barwin was an absolute beast in 2011, and his production waned some in 2012; league sources doubt the Texans franchise him, though he could end up staying in Houston after he tests the market.
There is no way the Lions franchise Cliff Avril for a second straight year, which means he will command plenty of offers come March. He has displayed versatility and an ability to post double-digit sack totals. Anthony Spencer, who had a breakthrough season for the Cowboys, won't be franchised and with Dallas moving to a 4-3, he could end up with another 3-4 team.
Paul Kruger has been a playoff comet, rising to prominence as an edge rusher for the Ravens. With him possibly commanding $9 million a year on the open market, it's hard to see him back in Baltimore. Ravens inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe is the heir to Ray Lewis, and retaining him will be a top priority for Baltimore, while a third vital starter for the Ravens, corner Cary Williams, could end up making $7 million a year or more, also probably pushing him out of Baltimore's price range given their depth in the secondary.
As for interior players, Casey Hampton is unlikely to be anchoring Pittsburgh's defensive line after an exceptional career at nose tackle for the Steelers. The Jets are prioritizing keeping defensive tackle Mike DeVito, but are by no means certain they'll be able to keep him.
Two younger interior players -- Henry Melton of the Bears and Terrance Knighton of the Jaguars -- will be in demand if they aren't re-signed beforehand (Jacksonville has so much cap space, and so much need on the defensive side, that you think they would make some effort here, even with Knighton's weight an issue in the past). Former top-five pick Glenn Dorsey was a bust in Kansas City, but with a switch to a 4-3, could perhaps flourish as an interior pass rusher.
In the secondary, it is exceptionally rare for young corners to get free, and expect the Dolphins to make every effort to keep Sean Smith. Dallas, however, has cap issues (remember they are facing another $18 million cap penalty this season), so 27-year-old Mike Jenkins might not make sense for them after giving Brandon Carr a monster deal a year ago. Aqib Talib has no shortage of off-field issues, but rejuvenated his career in New England. Tracy Porter has been steady and has shined on the Super Bowl stage in the past as well.
And there is no way we can talk about defensive free agents and not end with Ed Reed, a first-ballot Hall of Famer and maybe the greatest safety ever. Leaving Baltimore would be tough, but the Ravens may not be competitive if someone wants to give him $8 million a year or more, especially teams like New Orleans (where Reed is from), Atlanta (where he lives) or Miami (he played at The U, remember). Dashon Goldson, opposite Reed at safety in the Super Bowl for San Francisco, is playing on the franchise tag and might get a longer deal this time around somewhere. LaRon Landry, who signed a one-year deal with the Jets, will be looking to get paid as well.
Overall, the group of safeties in their mid-20s is pretty impressive, though somewhat injury prone.
Defensive line
1. Cliff Avril: The Lions can't keep everyone up front and he won't be franchised again.
2. Randy Starks: Been in the league a long time but still a spry 28; tremendous versatility to fit any scheme and Dolphins likely lost their chance to keep him.
3. Henry Melton: Become a force for the Bears and one of the few younger impact players on that D. Would think they do all they can to keep him.
4. Richard Seymour: Dude can play inside and outside and will be refreshed getting out of Oakland.
5. Matt Shaughnessy: Dealt with a lot of coaching upheaval in Oakland in a short period of time. Still very young and talented.
1. Dannell Ellerbe: Even when playing with one hand, he has become the engine of Baltimore's defense and keeping him will be top priority.
2. Anthony Spencer: Some scoffed when Dallas franchised him, but he will have the last laugh in free agency this year.
3. Connor Barwin: The absence of Brian Cushing may have hindered Barwin some this year, but still plenty of ability to get to the QB.
4. Paul Kruger: Took off in the second half of the season and has the entire league watching him in the postseason. Looking to get paid.
5. Shaun Phillips: Getting older, but I would take my chances with him above some of the other aging LBs.
1. Sean Smith: Has the skills and body to be a shutdown guy, and at age 25 is just entering his prime.
2. Cary Williams: Stepped up big time when Lardarius Webb got hurt, and his playoff performances are only helping his cause.
3. Mike Jenkins: Yet to put it all together for the Cowboys but teams were exploring trade options for him last year. Will draw interest.
4. Aqib Talib: If not for his off-field troubles, would be much higher. Staying under the watchful eye of Bill Belichick might be his best move.
5. Tracy Porter: Seems like he has been around longer, but at age 26 well positioned for free agency.
1. Ed Reed: Maybe the greatest ever, and still has a knack for the huge play at the huge moment.
2. Kenny Phillips: Can't stay healthy enough, but when he does the fellow product of The U flashes some Reed-like qualities.
3. Louis Delmas: Another absolute difference maker ... if he could stay in the lineup. Still, the Lions must make every attempt to keep him.
4. Jairus Byrd: Has tremendous ball skills, just like his daddy, former Chargers corner Gill Byrd.
5. Dashon Goldson: A heavy hitter who will be looking for more long-term security after coming off the franchise tag.

Mike Jenkins wouldn't be a bad #2 or nickel CB here. Sean Smith would be my #1 choice off the CB list. Delmas or Byrd would be outstanding grabs, but I can't see either team letting them walk. Ill take any of the DL men.

Off this list I'd take Melton and Avril for their ability to improve the pass rush. I'm also very intrigued by Spencer, I know he is a 3-4 OLB but at 250 he would bring size and more ability to get after the QB to our LB core. at corner I'd love to see Smith, Jenkins or Porter. Safety I'm curious to see what Ahmad Black can do given the opportunity, so I probably wouldn't add much there but I wouldn't be against Byrd if he was signed.

Smith and Byrd would make a huge impact on this defense.

Wouldn't it be funny if we signed Talib in FA?

This climb is located just a wee wander up from the virgin area and is identified by a sequence of cracks each offset a couple feet. Indeed, the crux is changing from one crack to the other as the first peters out. For a moderate route (although a stout 5.8), this is about as good as it gets at Penitente and is a great reason to haul gear in. I placed mostly nuts, a small one at the crux. It is super fun and different when your tips are spent from pulling on thin crimpers.
Nuts and cams to 2" plus some quickdraws or slings for the bolt anchor.

Police say the men obtained an undetermined amount of money from the victims and fled the residence.
The names of the victims are currently being withheld pending further investigation.
Anyone with information concerning the home invasion or the identity of the suspects is asked to contact Sergeant G. Womble with the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 916-2764.

John Cena
Real Name
John Cena
Date of Birth
April 23, 1977
Place of Birth
While fans are begging for it, WWE is unlikely to do a match between Shawn Michaels and Daniel Bryan.
October 29, 2013
As a few people are already aware, Hulk Hogan has been generating some hype recently by teasing fans that he wants to make a return to the WWE ring for one final match. The former world heavyweight champion has teased that he wants to work against John Cena. Well, some fuel has been added to that fire, as Cena himself is now starting to tease the match as well. The belief is that the two of them are simply promoting the upcoming Wrestlemania 31 pay per view.
August 30, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw last week saw John Cena being booked dominantly against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. It has now been revealed that Vince McMahon was the person behind all of that. Someone backstage had informed McMahon that a lot of WWE fans were mocking Cena for being dominated, so McMahon has decided to build Cena back up again.
August 28, 2014
After witnessing Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan being utilized as pawns in the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar on Monday Night Raw, a lot of fans voiced their complaints towards WWE. It is now being said that management actually had a different plan that evening for Wyatt. He was supposed to have been booked strong by attacking Big Show and Mark Henry during the closing segment. Instead, WWE changed their minds and decided to put Cena and Lesnar over instead.
August 27, 2014
WWE has announced a big rematch between John Cena and Bray Wyatt for Monday Night Raw tonight. No word yet on why the match is taking place, as the two of them are not currently feuding with one another. Wyatt is still feuding with Chris Jericho, while Cena is in a program with Brock Lesnar, who once again will not be making a television appearance this week despite being the WWE champion.
August 25, 2014
During a recent video interview with Supertraining Gym in Sacramento, John Cena was asked about a potential heel turn, something that fans have been speculating about for years online. The former WWE champion flat out stated that it will never happen. Cena said that he had it in him to make it work, but management will never pull the trigger on such a move because it does not make sense for business.
August 24, 2014
WWE is bringing in the big names to help open up Monday Night Raw this week. Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair have been confirmed to make an appearance. The trio of former world heavyweight champions will be in the opening segment. Reports are surfacing that Flair, Hogan and Michaels will be promoting the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, who is not scheduled to be there.
August 23, 2014
When Bray Wyatt was closing out his feud with John Cena, many wondered who WWE was going to pair him up with next. Fortunately for the company, Chris Jericho agreed to return and help keep Wyatt interesting. Their feud is about to end, so the question has popped up again. As of right now, it looks like WWE is leaning towards putting Wyatt together with Sheamus in a program.
August 22, 2014
With Night of Champions 2014 being a crucial pay per view in terms of drawing in WWE Network subscribers, management is going to be stacking the deck a bit. They knew that they needed their two biggest draws in the main event. That's why it has now been officially announced that John Cena has activated his rematch clause against Brock Lesnar, and the two will tangle again for the world heavyweight championship.
August 20, 2014
It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the promotion of the world heavyweight championship over the next few weeks. Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be back on television for approximately a month. John Cena, who is returning next week, is expected to get his rematch story line. Paul Heyman is great at what he does, but management will be curious to see how the audience reacts to a missing champion.
August 19, 2014
For years, Hulk Hogan has worked the audience. He knows how to sucker in the most gullible of fans. The WWE legend is at it again. At a promotional event in New Jersey on Saturday, Hogan told the audience that he was training for another match. He also stated that he wanted it to be against John Cena. Hogan is in no shape to work another match, so the belief is that he's just creating a buzz.
August 3, 2014
The rumors about Brock Lesnar beating John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the WWE Championship are escalating even further today, as it has now been revealed that the former UFC Heavyweight Champion has signed on to do a couple of more episodes of Monday Night Raw. The belief is that he will be making more appearances to promote the upcoming Night of Champions 2014.
July 30, 2014
WWE ran a live event on Friday in Dallas, and they initially drew in fans by advertising that John Cena would be working the show. However, the heavyweight champion picked up a part in a movie and was forced to miss the event, which prompted management to offer full refund to fans in attendance. It is being said that only a small amount of people bothered to leave the building.
July 28, 2014
Alexander Rusev is posing a considerable problem for the WWE creative department nowadays. The staff was instructed to push him up the ladder, but they are now running out of options. His program with Jack Swagger has either ended or will end soon. Rusev cannot be placed into a program with someone lower on the card, and it's too soon for him to work against John Cena. Sheamus has been named as a possible opponent to help Rusev kill time.
July 27, 2014
A lot of people backstage in WWE have been joking around lately about John Cena possibly being the next guy to leave the company to pursue a career in Hollywood. He's got a couple of parts coming up that might help him gain the attention of the studios. There are also talks that Cena is a lot more injured than he lets on, so an acting career might seem like a better option nowadays.
July 23, 2014
For those of you that missed Monday Night Raw this week, Brock Lesnar made his much anticipated return to WWE and challenged John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the world heavyweight championship. The story is that Paul Heyman convinced Triple H to go with Plan C because it was the best chance at getting the strap away from Cena.
July 22, 2014
After successfully retaining the heavyweight championship at WWE Battleground 2014, many would expect John Cena to be at Monday Night Raw for some sort of victory promo. However, the popular performer hopped on a plane Monday morning in Tampa to head to New York City. Cena is filming some scenes for an upcoming movie and will not be at Raw.
July 21, 2014
With the pay per view just a day away, rumors are firing up about WWE pulling the trigger on the Roman Reigns era. There are talks that he could walk out of the WWE Battleground 2014 pay per view as the new heavyweight champion. Management might be forced to give John Cena some time off to film some scenes in a big movie, so the title change has been discussed heavily over the last couple of days.
July 19, 2014
While wrestling fans online are downplaying the incident, WWE is a bit concerned that fans in attendance at the last episode of Monday Night Raw were bored with Bray Wyatt during his segment with Chris Jericho. The chants came as a bit of a surprise to management, as they felt that Wyatt was one of their more popular performers. There were concerns that he would lose interests from some fans once his program with John Cena ended.
July 17, 2014
Rumors are floating around that the segment on Monday Night Raw between John Cena and Ric Flair was a subtle way for WWE to retire the world heavyweight championship belt. For those that missed it, Cena handed the belt over to Flair and told the legendary performer to keep it. WWE has not released an official statement on the matter yet, so fans will be tuning in to Smackdown and WWE Battleground 2014 to see the fate of the belt.
July 15, 2014
While many are under the impression that he is temporarily holding the WWE Championship until Daniel Bryan can return from a serious neck injury, word coming out of backstage is that John Cena is expected to have a lengthy title reign. Management wants people to believe that his 15th title reign is very important, so they might keep the belt on him a long time to emphasize that.
July 12, 2014
