Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote:While WWE is obsessed with Twitter, everything said by The Rock was his own doing, and not something forced on him by the company. WWE’s social media department have gotten to Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn to the point they are reminding talent they have to tweet right before RAW goes on the air. One person behind the scenes, who used to be pro-Twitter noted, “It’s really disgusting to be around, a few months ago it was okay but now it’s like a disease.”
Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote:Based on early notes, WWE '12 is looking to be a huge success. Those at THQ are crediting the increase to The Rock primarily and Brock Lesnar secondarily, as pre-orders are at double the level of the 2011 Smackdown vs. Raw game. The US and UK are roughly double that of last year, while Canada and Australia, the two key outside UFC markets, are at triple the pace of last year at the same time. The belielf is that The Rock's return match coinciding with the release of the game has also helped.

Perhaps they realised they needed something to sell the Royal Rumble next year. Cena/Rock shouldn't need the championship anyway, unless interest dimishes & they feel they need an added extra.

Other trademarks are WWE House of Fame, which will be the name of the TV show with the retired wrestlers all living in a house together, and WWE WrestleMania Rewind which is a TV show looking at old WrestleMania's.
The return of Livewire!
A Big Brother: Hall of Fame could be hilarious. Someone get the Iron Sheik in there.
WWE are working on a two disc CM Punk DVD project, which will include a documentary; and another three disc Rock DVD is also scheduled for release just before Mania.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote:Tommy Dreamer did an interview on Sirius radio saying he didn’t want to be in TNA any longer because there was no logic and that things weren’t being done from a business point of view. He said he missed everyone in TNA and missed everyone in WWE, but he thought no matter how hard he worked and destroyed his body, if the company wasn’t going to change, it bothered him and therefore didn’t want to be part of it. He said he didn’t want to be the bitter old wrestler who hates everything about wrestling and said he’d rather walk away.
