Kimbo To WWE?, Flair Turns Down Huge Offer, Kendrick's Big Push
? MMAScoops.com is EXCLUSIVELY reporting that Kimbo Slice's name has been brought up in recent WWE creative meetings. Vince McMahon had no real reaction to Slice's name. It doesn't appear that anyone has brought up Gina Carano's name.
? Ric Flair has officially turned down the New Japan offer to face Masahiro Chono at the Tokyo Dome.
? The Flair family filmed the pilot for a Flair family reality show focusing on Ric, son Reid training to be a pro wrestler, daughter Ashley and ex-wife Beth. The angle of the show is Ric and Reid living together in Charlotte, with Reid working hard to become a wrestler and Ric Flair being Ric Flair, out on the town. Ric has creative control of the project.
? It sounds like the push that The Brian Kendrick has been getting is due to the way he approached Vince McMahon. The tag team of Kendrick and Paul London, while they had a lot of good matches on SmackDown, they never got over in the eyes of Vince McMahon, mainly because they weren't too good with promos. When they went to RAW and the whole thing happened with Paul London smiling during Vince's explosion angle, there was some heat for the both of them. London never came up with an idea to pitch to Vince but Kendrick went to Vince later on, said he was frustrated and did not want to be seen in the same light as London. The feeling was that by Kendrick showing passion to Vince, so he really wanted the push and got it. Almost a year later and Kendrick is repackaged on SmackDown with a nice push and London has been wished the best in his future endeavors.
