- Rumor is, the reason Brock Lesnar walked out of RAW two weeks ago, was due to a contract deal. Rumors are saying, that Lesnar wanted to work out a new contract with Vince McMahon, that would let Lesnar work both WWE and UFC part time. Vince's response was no. No word on to whether this is true or not.

- WWE has a casting call in San Francisco for Wrestlemania 31. WWE are looking for guys to play Russian Soldiers. Rumor is they will be used as part of Rusev's ring entrance.

- WWE is also casting people to dress like scarecrows for Wrestlemania 31. Rumors are that they may be used for either Sting or Bray Wyatt's entrance.

- It looks as if The Ascension have failed on the main roster at being a dominant team like they were in NXT. The Ascension have lost three matches in a row now, one on RAW, one on WWE Main Event and one on WWE Superstars.

- The Rock will be hosting the March 28th episode of Saturday Night Live.

*** TNA News and Rumors ***

*** Other Wrestling News ***

- Alberto El Patron (Del Rio), has been advised by doctors to take some time off. El Patron suffered a quad injury, while competing last weekend. It is believed that El Patron has a torn quad.
