Kanye West-WWE Rumor Killer, Cena Note, TNA, R-Truth

Earlier today, urban celebrity news site MediaTakeout.com reported that Kanye West had been offered $10 million to make three appearances for WWE including one match on pay-per-view. The source website has reported false wrestling news stories in the past (Eminem training for a WWE career, VH1's 'New York' appearing at WrestleMania 25) so the Kanye news was treated as a rumor at best. We noted earlier that the news was a RUMOR only and should have been taken with a grain of salt. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross addressed the news in his blog (JrsBarBQ.com): "I even saw on the 'net that it was alleged that WWE had offered Kanye "$10M" to step in the ring and wrestle which is so outlandish and ridiculous that it's insane. I can see why some wrestling websites do all they can to distance themselves from other sites as I read recently where I was in another state having a clandestine meeting with a company which was totally untrue. There was no meeting nor was I in the city that I was, according to a wrestling website, seen by eye witnesses."

SLAM! Wrestling has an interview up with John Cena in which he mostly defends WWE's more family-friendly direction.

TNA will have a show at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico on 10/30.

R-Truth, Arn Anderson and Howard Finkel are scheduled to appear at the 9/24 FCW event in Tampa, FL.
