The Young Bucks, formerly known as Generation Me in TNA Wrestling, have responded to Rob Van Dam's dismissive comments towards them in an interview last week with the Miami Herald.

With more than 20 years of success in the wrestling industry, one would think the young upstarts of today would line up to seek the master of the Five-Star Frog Splash for advice or feedback. RVD said in the interview that's not the case.

"I feel like I get respect, but not in that way," Van Dam said. "I'm open...

Brian Gewirtz is no longer the RAW head writer and Michael Hayes is no longer the SmackDown head writer as both have been moved a step above the head writer position.

Gewirtz's role now is to give ideas and set up the main direction for both shows, and transmit the ideas Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon have for what they want on the show. Hayes' new role is to be the guy who also gives ideas for both RAW and SmackDown, but he's also the guy who oversees the agents and tells them wh...

Kevin Nash's WWE Legends deal is different to everyone else's.
Others under a Legends deal make a percentage of the revenue their name and likeness generate and they also get paid a

small amount each year.
Kevin Nash is making much more than the others and he is doing very little work for the money he's being paid.
Nash is still quite frustrated though because he believes the reaction he got at the Royal Rumble PPV should have lead to a bigger storyline for him on TV.

"It was awesome. It was a monumental feat. Once you're a world champion, you're always a world champion and to put those two words besides your name, it really is humbling to say it out loud. It changed a lot of things in my life; it changed my perspective toward things and how I handled myself. You really can't put it into words what it means; it's different for every person. But, it was a lifelong dream, and at the same time, it's just the tip of the iceberg because it makes me want...

“Simply put: If we weren’t wrestling, we weren’t making money…And a guys gotta eat. Obviously, if you’re a fan of the show, you probably hadn’t seen us for quite sometime. Aside from the television program, TNA also runs live events around the country. In 2011, we’d only been on a handful of those, as well. Now, don’t get me wrong. When you’re booked a bunch, you’re making pretty good money, which was the case for us in our first year with the company. Not so much, ...

WWE - Money In The Bank 2011

Here are my thoughts:

I liked the first MITB match - and even more so, the decision to give the MITB to Daniel Bryan. I didn't expect that at all.
Hardly one of the best MITB or ladder matches I've seen, but I enjoyed it. Good match.

I liked that CM Punk took the title from Cena and Punk's performance in the match was great - from his playing to the crowd, to the moves he did - to trying to cover up for Cena's inability to do anything.
While he was Cena's lame subm...

"Ok, don't "Fin" say that people will talk about this for years if you're going to let Punk do all the work and not deliver at the PPV, Cena. I am tired and I know fans are tired of WWE Superstars talking big and not delivering. We don't want to see someone just i...
