— WWE’s current mood on hiring new talents is
that they are not high on “real athletes” and are more into indie wrestlers who
have prior experience. With that being said though, they are still down on guys
who are smaller in nature. They are back to looking for guys with bigger
physiques. Gerald Brisco is the main person who goes out and scouts the talents
while Triple H is normally the guy who winds up signing them if he likes what he
sees.
— As a reminder, it was announced that WWE
World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton will face Batista on this Monday’s WWE
RAW broadcast. The show will air live from Washington, DC, the hometown of
Batista. It’ll be interesting to see the crowd reaction he receives. We’ll have
free live WWE RAW coverage here on the website.
— As noted last week here on the website,
former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam is scheduled to
return to WWE during WrestleMania 30 weekend in New Orleans. WWE has already
booked Van Dam’s travel for that weekend, so he
will be returning to WWE TV very shortly. Several sources claim he’s returning on RAW the
night after WrestleMania 30. Van Dam returned to WWE last July at the
Money in the Bank PPV after a stint in TNA from 2010-2013. His last appearance
for WWE was in a match against Alberto Del Rio last October at the Battleground
PPV.
