- In an update on the whereabouts of Ezekiel Jackson, the self-proclaimed "Personification of Domination" is currently sidelined due to a muscle tear. The 35-year-old has not appeared on television since July of last year, although he has competed in one match (at Wrestlemania Axxess on April 4, 2013 alongside Yoshi Tatsu in a victory over Hunico and Camacho). On Twitter, Jackson frequently mentions he'll return "soon."
- Former ECW Champion Justin Credible has published a new column at PWMania.com. Credible talks about about Daniel Bryans' WWE Championship storyline as well as the Rhodes Family angle, among other topics. Goldust is this week's special guest on Justin Credible's Pro Wrestling 101 video series. Here is an excerpt from his article:
"WWE is putting out a solid product, don’t get me wrong, but I feel that they are going in a mundane direction. I’ve seen this movie before with Steve Austin. I think they pulled the trigger too soon, and I’m wondering how much patience the fans will have, waiting until Daniel Bryan, finally conquers the evil WWE machine.
"It was good to see the American Dream Dusty Rhodes on Raw. I dig the storyline with the Rhodes clan. I just don’t like the way WWE is portraying the common wrestler. It’s like the world as we know it will end, if you are to lose your job with the company. Even the announcers are joining in, saying that Cody Rhodes better use his cell phone while his service is still on."
