— CM Punk and John Cena “are neck-and-neck” as the top merchandise sellers in WWE. Punk, however, is ahead in the adult male demographic. Zack Ryder is also among the company’s top merchandise sellers.

— In an interview with Between The Ropes, NWA Champion Adam Pearce said he thinks WWE has not signed him to their developmental system yet due to the fact that he is 33. “I thought that prior to being injured I was going to be at FCW in Florida and if it wasn’t for this wonderful three letter word ‘age’ I think I’d be there.” Pearce also said that he doesn’t plan to keep wrestling after 2012.

— Triple H reportedly wants more Spanish-speaking wrestlers signed since he believes the Hispanic market is a major key to the prosperity of WWE. More specifically, he wants wrestlers who can conduct interviews in both English and Spanish. Rosa Mendes in particular has been directed to yell at ringside in Spanish as much as possible since she’s bilingual.
