Yeah, there's a reason Flair didn't have to start from the bottom and work his way up the card when he came to WWF in 1991. Everyone who watched wrestling and a lot of people who didn't knew who Ric Flair was. He was already a legend.

As noted, WWE creative has been working on a new main roster gimmick for NXT star Adrian Neville and the gimmick could be inspired by the legendary character character Mighty Mouse. There were suggestions within WWE this past week about putting a mask on Neville and making him a kids character based on Mighty Mouse. The gimmick is not set in stone but after The Ascension, Neville is scheduled to be the next NXT talent brought to the main roster as they are working on ideas for him.

On a related note, Punk will host a UFC 182 weigh-ins Q&A for Fight Club members on January 2nd at the Marquee Ballroom at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Q&A begins at 2pm local time.

There is said to be another promotion besides Bellator that is currently trying to sign him. Del Rio is expected to take the better money deal. Regarding the former WWE Champion's upcoming Ring of Honor run, he specifically asked to work a match with ACH because he thinks ACH is a really talented wrestler and he's from San Antonio. Del Rio also asked to work matches with Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly. ROH is looking at doing Del Rio vs. Jay Lethal for their March 1st pay-per-view

In what could be a sign of bad ticket sales for the first Destination America tapings in New York City, they are now offering a 50% discount on tickets for all three tapings.

AJ Lee is currently out of action with an injury. She had been working hurt so they could wrap up the feud with Divas Champion Nikki Bella. WWE officials were planning on doing a significant injury angle to write AJ off TV but that was nixed for an unknown reason. AJ being away is why Naomi and Natalya were moved into contendership for Nikki's title. Original plans had Naomi challenging Nikki but they may go with Natalya. The belief within WWE is that AJ will be back in 2015 some time.

It's said that morale in WWE, which wasn't good before, has been noticeably different since Vince McMahon's live interview with Steve Austin.

There's also a feeling that Vince made it clear those were the only ones he sees that have top star potential.

Triple H actually gave a speech to the WWE roster after morale got bad due to the interview. His speech was described as an attempt at damage control that backfired.

As a general rule backstage, the talents in NXT love Triple H, but on the main roster, whatever he said in the speech lost him a lot of credibility, especially among those who have been with the company for some time.

He was billed as the "real worlds champion" because he had the belt. That's why he didn't start from the bottom. There's a reason WCW couldn't draw flies to shit in any city above the hillbilly line.

If Sting had held the title in the months before Flair left, he still would have come to WWE and instantly been in the title picture. It's Ric Flair. He's one of the most famous wrestlers of all time and it's not because of his time in WWE or his time in Hogan-era WCW.
