Cesaro Not Being Punished for Randy Orton vs. John Cena Comments

As previously reported, WWE Superstar Cesaro made comments in an earlier interview where he said, “I mean I’m sick of seeing John Cena against Randy Orton for the 500th time.” There was speculation online that Cesaro was being punished for those remarks. However, a report from Rajah.com says this is not the case.
According to the report, a WWE source claimed that Cesaro is not being punished for what he said in the Liverpool Echo interview. The feeling backstage in the WWE is that Cesaro’s remark in the interview was taken out of context, so he is not in the proverbial “doghouse.” Cesaro apparently did not receive any heat from management for what he said.
Opinionated View- Sadly people have to remember Cesaro's push was already dead long before he made those comments anyway.

WWE Network Having Streaming Issues

 According to PWInsider, several fans have sent in complaints about the WWE Network having several glitches with the start of the free month. PWInsider confirms, that at least for them, there are also issues.
One reader, Jon B, said: “I’m having major problems today watching VOD on the Network. Home sick, trying to watch Starrcade ’84 (so I know it’s not a high demand video feed). Every couple of minutes the video and audio abruptly pause, then audio replays a few second back while video stays stuck, then the whole thing skips several seconds ahead. Tried two different browsers, same result. I have to assume they’re having success with the initial day of the free month and thus, bandwidth issues.

Opinionated View- Just what you need at the start of a big push to get people to join. WWE Network is a failure on every level. 

WWE Network Numbers, New TNA World Champion, Lucha Underground Debuts

Lucha Underground News and Notes

 The debut episode of Lucha Underground will replay today on The El Rey Network. It will also debut on the UniMas Spanish language channel at 4 PM.
– Dario Cueto, the on-screen heel promoter/owner, is an actor from Spain who was brought in for the role.
– There is said to be interest from the promotion in using Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio when they are free from their contractual obligations.
– Here is the lineup from the second episode:
* Johnny Mundo & Prince Puma vs The Crenshaw Crew
* Chavo Guerrero & Sexy Star vs Lord of Havok and Ivelisse Velez
* Mil Muertes vs Blue Demon Jr.
Opinionated View- I'm not overly impressed with Cueto but than again with that cheesy writing it's hard to be impressed. Don't waste money on Rey he's always hurt. Del Rio is way to morning you already got Konnan running around you don't need Del Rio.
