- The reason JR’s segment was cut from Monday’s Raw is that The Walt Disney Company were contractually guaranteed that no scheduled segment featuring The Muppets would be cut from the program, meaning WWE had to cut time from elsewhere. Jim Ross was not immediately aware of why he wouldn’t be featured.
- As noted yesterday TNA star James Storm suffered a concussion at last week’s Impact Wrestling tapings. It is now believed that he’ll need up to 2 months off.
“Had a ct head scan and a MRI yesterday,” Storm wrote on Twitter. “Hate when doctors just come in and give you a look. Just tell me the bad news. Cowboy up!!!”
“Confirmed…. TV tapings in Macon the cowboy sustaind(sic) a concussion. Doc says 6-8 weeks. But that’s for a normal man.”
Readers noted that Storm had appeared at house shows after the incident. This is because he did not see a doctor until the Monday.

Randy Orton concussion and WWE Capitol punishment status
WWE superstar and reigning world heavyweight champion Randy Orton concussion is legit, according to some reliable sources in the WWE. This violation happened Spain on a Houseshow at the weekend in Madrid. This is not work story than first thought.
Instead the actual concussion in the plot was published where integrated Randy Orton on RAW during Monday. The Viper then raw GM ordered not to have physical encounter or be removed from the World Championship.
Randy Orton appear also in the SmackDown to rings but not in a match on Tuesday. It is still unclear whether the doctors it will give Sunday's green light for the WWE Capitol punishment PPV.

Orton's concussion legit, Murdoch is, WWE, Hogan will Austin, Warrior escort denied rumors
-Randy Orton suffered a legitimate concussion after an event in Madrid, Spain. If on Twitter asked why he no match on raw, he wrote:
"because I was lined in Spain." "U can not fight, or should I say run, the day after a concussion."
He should be able to make the PPV.
-After his tryout match, Murdoch with WWE has given a few weeks ago, former tag team champion Trevor. It is not sure whether he will get update a gimmick.
-In an interview with ESPN Hulk Hogan, said, he would still like to Steve Austin wrestling:
"Now if a last great match which really, really something to the fans, which would have to be this against"Stone Cold"Steve Austin." I see it already the appearances back on TV and he's already starting to get full of themselves. "I heard him say for a while, the back and the neck also messed up were to fight, but I lately there have, I think he always follows, to do something and I would like to be a part of it."
He called also Matt Morgan as a future star:
"I think that on a man, I really need to focus Matt Morgan is." There are a few things that need to be corrected, and one of the most important things is his interviews. When Scott Steiner sees you and gets you a punk and says that you see from such a small turd in a toilet, you need to comeback and say something about how you can look over Steiner's head.
"Instead, he's out there talking about how he respected Steiner athlete." His whole rap must change. "I think if we sit down and really select Matt Morgan in, he can someone who can really turn things around and impact wrestling in the promised land."

"Demand is high." Escort women confined to pro wrestler. Keep to refuse the service. No, HH. Linda, no. "

- The latest word on Awesome Kong is that she will debut for WWE in April, shortly after WrestleMania. Kong has been given different start dates before but it looks like she will finally debut next month.
