— Joshua Modaberi sent this one in: Hi, My name is Joshua Modaberi and I’m a sports journalist and cover wrestling for a number of publications. Here is an article I did with Devon for Wrestling101 and I was just wondering if you wanted to use parts of the interview on your website with a link to www.wrestling101.com. Devon talks about his time wrestling in ECW, WWE and TNA as well as being a member of Aces & 8’s and comparing his three bosses. http://www.wrestling101.com/home/2013/03/devon-interview/ Look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards. Josh

Hi there, thought you may be interested to know that John Cena and Stephanie McMahon were panelists at the SXSW Interactive Conference this weekend. That’s the technology and social media spin-off from the big music festival in Austin, Texas. They were talking about how the WWE is building social media into the shows and the product. This was a tech and business crowd, not necessarily fans, and the general consensus was that the WWE is far ahead of just about every media corporation in this area. Cena was a big hit – even quoting a Shakesperian sonnet to promote Wrestlemania.
Here’s a link to the story I wrote for the Austin Chronicle: http://www.austinchronicle.com/blogs/sxsw/2013-03-09/sxsw-the-champ-is-here/
I also chatted to WWE digital media EVP Perkins Miller, former digital EVP Jason Hoch, and Khris Loux, CEO of their digital partners Echo, before the event:
