WWE OFFERED $750,000 TO JEFF HARDY

WWE’s last unofficial offer to Jeff Hardy before he went to TNA had a $750,000 downside where he would only have to work 65 dates a year, giving him the biggest break on the schedule out of any WWE stars, including Shawn Michaels.

Obviously Hardy turned the deal down as he was upset that nobody backed him after his drug arrest and he was upset over the promos that WWE had CM Punk cut on him after he left the company. The feeling was that Hardy wasn’t with the company at the time and the promos from Punk weren’t business as they weren’t used to build a match.

It’s believed that Hardy would have been a lock for TNA World Champion over Rob Van Dam if it weren’t for his court case that’s still up in the air.

CENA TALKS ABOUT RAPPER GIMMICK, MVP/KOFI TO TURN HEEL?

On Twitter, John Cena responded to a fan who asked whether he’d considering bringing back his old “rapper” gimimck. Cena said it’s unlikely:

“Guys, I really appreciate the respect for the freestyle. It would have no home in today’s environment. It would be a weak, watered down, rehash of something that was very fun to be a part of while it lasted. I still freestyle all the time, it just wouldn’t be right for me right now, I really like the place where I am, and where WWE is.”

 WWE is looking to turn either MVP or Kofi Kingston heel on the SmackDown brand with the idea that the one who turns heel gets a big push and goes over.

STORYLINE UPDATE FOR TED DIBIASE, JOE HENNING SOON IN MAIN ROSTER

As noted before, Brett DiBiase will be going in for knee surgery next week and will be missing several months of action. This pretty much screws up the plans for the stable on RAW with Brett, his brother Ted and Joe Hennig. There was talk this week of putting Carlito and Primo in the stable but that hasn’t been officially decided on. The word is that the Colons will be affiliated with DiBiase but won’t actually be in the group.
