[WWE News] WWE currently does not know which venue in New Orleans will host the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on June 7th, 2009. The original plan was for the event to be held at the New Orleans Arena. However, if the New Orleans Hornets need the New Orleans Arena on June 7th for a playoff game, WWE will be forced to move the Extreme Rules show to the Lakefront Arena at the University of New Orleans..

[WWE News] A lot of press on Mickey Rourke today calling him a “sell out” for participating in WrestleMania. TMZ wrote: “Mickey won the battle … but lost a little more of whatever dignity he had left. The only thing faker than Mickey Rourke’s hair — this fight between him and Chris Jericho at last night’s WrestleMania.” WWE was worried right up until Saturday night wondering if Rourke was actually going to show up for the PPV. There was more drama on Sunday as well a few hours before the show as he was working news reporters at a press conference claiming he couldn’t contractually get in the ring because he’s doing the movie Iron Man 2. .

[BLOG] JBL wrote in a blog today on the WWE website that he was leaving the company: “I don’t know what the future holds, never say never in life. But I have wrestled my last match. Months ago, I picked out this match. If Eddie Guerrero couldn’t be here for it then my dear friend Rey was the obvious choice, and I’m proud he was. I want to thank the WWE for a great career, for taking a chance on me and allowing me the keys to the car for a while. I will always represent the WWE wherever I go, I am proud of my 13 = years with the WWE. And, I am proud of the WWE for cleaning up a great sport to make it more healthy to everyone that is a part. However, I have no current plans on doing anything in the future on a professional level with WWE. I don’t plan on doing commentary, in fact; it hasn’t even been brought up to me. I don’t plan on being an on air character. I plan on starting the next chapter in my life, and closing the door on this one.” He said he plans to put all his energy into business projects noting a distribution service in Nashville and a beverage company: “You may see me in the WWE again, I don’t know-but that is not the plan. Right now, I have gotten up early today and am ready to go to work on the next part of my life that will hopefully exceed the first part. I have been on the road for my entire adult life. I want to put the suitcases up and do my best to be successful outside of wrestling, today starts that journey… From the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to be a part of the great theater we call “sports entertainment”, personally I just always considered myself a wrestler.”
[BLOG] Jim Ross at http://tinyurl.com/cnwfm9 also has a new blog up talking Wrestlemania 25. He said the Taker-Michaels match was the best he can ever recall broadcasting: “Old school approach, a magnificent story, amazing near falls, drama, surprises, intensity, and awesome athleticism were just a few of the memorable attributes of this extraordinary contest. Quite simply, its a wrestling match Ill never forget and Ive seen plenty of them. I had immense personal respect for both men going into the match but that respect swelled ten fold when this instant classic concluded. If any young wrestler doesnt thoroughly study this one then they are doing themselves a gross injustice.” Ross also noted he didn’t yet know who would be announcing with him on Tuesday at the Smackdown tapings.
