* With the recent repositioning at the top of the WWE hierarchy, many WWE wrestlers aren't too happy about the promotion of John Laurinautis to the head of talent relations. They have said they didn't like his style since he joined the company and has been a visible "ass kisser and a suck up" say the wrestlers.

Jim Ross will now be advising McMahon more than in the past as well as helping Laurinautis make the transition. Ross will also be helping book house shows as wrestlers are already complaining about the drop in house show booking quality since the change.

* The Rock's contract expires with the WWE expires this year, however many feel he is sincere when he says he wants to return to work WrestleMania each year. This makes sense for The Rock since it's the biggest payoff of the year and he still gets enjoyment from wrestling and interacting with the live crowd.
