According to Dave Meltzer, WWE sent their legal representatives to Wrestlecon today to seize all company branded merchandise that was being sold at the show, after getting a court order that allowed them to do so. Apparently, WWE also doesn't want smaller independent promotions to piggyback off the success of WrestleMania 29, but no-one listens to that order because it works so well.
Fellow blogger Irv Muchnick has written a controversial op-ed piece for SLAM! Wrestling on Bruno Sammartino's decision to finally be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame this year. My personal feelings closely match Muchnick's. Though I don't begrudge Bruno the well deserved honour or the money that was the condition of his acceptance, he made a grave error by stumping for the company's Wellness Policy in the media, at a time when The Rock's and Triple H's physiques look more than a bit fishy. That scepticism is only enhanced when you know the background of his trainer as well as Irv does: "[Paul] Levesque built his own squeaky-clean physique with the assistance of a personal trainer named Dave Palumbo. Levesque hired Palumbo after his release from prison for selling fake human growth hormone. A well-known steroid guru, Palumbo designs test-beating steroid cycles."

The Cosmopolitan's unique take on the Daniel Bryan's YES chant.
I was solidly of the thought that Cena needed to win until I read "Why John Cena must lose against The Rock at WrestleMania 28", from the pro wrestling website Cageside Seats, then I made a complete 180 on the subject.
