Dos Caras Jr./WWE Update Inside, Santino Marella Notes, & More News

The latest on lucha libre star Dos Caras Jr. is that he's signed a contract with WWE. A number of media outlets in Mexico are reporting this as fact. They are saying he's starting in WWE in January and will be making his debut at the Royal Rumble.

New Zealand's NZPWI has a new interview online with WWE Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella. Below are some of the highlights:

The Santino Marella character:"It evolved very naturally. You know, they say every good character, the real person must be there. Like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Undertaker, Batista? you meet these people, you realise man, this is like the guy on TV. And, that's like me! Big mouth!"

When asked if it was frustrating playing a comedy character: "Nope. Not at all. I have an intense Judo background, and when the time is right, and I'm able to unleash my skills, people are going to accept it, they have to accept it, because it's real."

On working with Maria and Beth Phoenix: "Ah, both girls are very professional, both girls are chicks, you know, they come with their goods and bads, they a little bit crazy, but, you got to love them, you know? You can't live with them, can't live without them, right?"

His pick for his opponent at Cyber Sunday: "Oh, good question! You see I have some unfinished business with Roddy "The Piper" but I would like to smash the Honky Tonky Man because I'm gonna beat his record. What better to pair it up with, than to beat him as well?"
